Recently, the reporter walked into the loquat forest in the village, only to see that some ripe loquat fruits had broken through the "seal" of the fruit bag paper, and they stuck out their heads vigorously. Pick one, tear open the golden coat, the delicate flesh with the rich juice overflowing, fruity, sweet and sour. But most loquat fruits are still honestly "waiting" in the bag to be selected, and experienced growers only need to lightly weigh it to know whether the loquat fruit in the bag is ripe.
