When it comes to fruit, everyone has a say, because now that the living conditions are better, everyone can afford to buy fruit and eat more expensive fruits, even if the durian, which is regarded as the king of fruits, was eaten by rich people in the past, ordinary people dare not think. At present, both grain prices and fruit prices have ushered in a good momentum. For example, a few days ago, the network rumored that the green lychee could be sold for more than 1,000 yuan a pound. So many netizens joked: Before, they couldn't afford to eat pork, and now they can't afford to eat lychees!
What is a hanging green lychee?
The types of lychees are also diverse, and those that are different can sell for high prices. The so-called Zengcheng hanging green, in fact, it is from the Zengcheng District of Guangdong Province, is a local specialty, but also a National Geographical Indication product of China. This lychee is characterized by a nearly oval or nearly round fruit, a dark red and green skin, obvious cracks and sutures, a milky white flesh, a particularly crisp flesh, and a special fragrance. According to records, Zengcheng hung green as a royal tribute. During the Jiaqing period, the people were disturbed by the officials and cut down the hanging green lychee trees, and as a result, one of the hanging green square trees in Licheng, Guangdong Province, survived. Not long ago, a high-end shopping mall in Beijing put on a shelf of 1,049 yuan a pound of hanging green lychees. The main reason why it is expensive is that "things are scarce and expensive", it is difficult to plant, and there are fewer sales on the market.
Although the thing that Ah Ping talked to you about today is not expensive to hang green lychees, it is also worth a lot, and a pound can sell for 400 yuan. This lychee is not a lychee, this lychee is not a fruit, but a fungus, some people call it lychee fungus. As the name suggests, it is a fungus that grows on lychee trees.
Relationship between lychee fungi and lychee
Lychee bacteria grow in lychee forests and symbiosis with termite nests. And the lychee is a fruit that grows on the tree, and the two are very different things. Just just the lychee ripe season unearthed, this season often out of the sun and rain, humid and hot temperature to promote this kind of bacteria, this fungus is formed by termite nest fungus, only in May of the year, June and July three months to grow so precious, should be the same kind as Yunnan chicken, now most people have money, only to sell expensive, I remember before the eighties is not worth anything at all, no one specifically to find, because this fungus eats more humid and hot, are fried eggs plus mushrooms to make soup.
Why are lychee mushrooms sold so expensive?
First of all, the growth of lychee fungi has certain conditions, belongs to the category of wild mushrooms, and at present, only Guangzhou and some surrounding areas can eat lychee fungi in China. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that lychee bacteria are flat and sweet, have the effect of tonifying the stomach and intestines, can treat spleen deficiency, indigestion, hemorrhoids and bleeding and other symptoms, is a weak, post-illness and elderly tonic delicacies, help to improve the body's immunity. Lychee mushrooms generally grow at midnight, slightly spinning in the shape of a yarn, up to 10-20 cm long, and the tip resembles a small tightened umbrella. Therefore, Ah Ping thinks that 400 yuan a pound is not very expensive.
In summary, lychee mushrooms grow on the ground in termite nests in lychee-based soil, and they are picked every summer during the "mango seed" season, which is absolutely wild. Because most of the fertilizer is now fertilized, then termites die and there are no longer mushrooms, things are rare and expensive, 400 yuan per kilogram is really not expensive, but its taste is indeed sweet, value for money, do you think?
