The fable "Yanzi Spring and Autumn" once mentioned: "Orange is born in Huainan is orange, born in Huaibei is citrus, the leaves are similar, but the actual taste is different." This is a metaphor for the same plant mutating in different geographical environments. However, this difference is not only between oranges and citrus, but even turnips.
Recently, a netizen from Qujing, Yunnan, shared a video of digging radishes in a field on a social platform, which caused widespread heated discussions among netizens. Radishes are well-known vegetables, usually between thirty and forty centimeters in size, but have you ever seen a radish longer than a hoe? This video opened the eyes of many southern netizens.
As you can see from the video, this radish that has just been dug out of the field is simply small compared to the hoe next to it. According to the author's estimates, this radish is at least more than 1 meter long and even thicker than a human calf. This radish is enough for the family to eat for a month. The owner dug for a long time, only two-thirds of the turnip, the remaining part was too large for the owner to continue digging, so he had to grab the stems and leaves with both hands and struggle to pull them out of the soil. This scene is reminiscent of the "yam" of the south.
Netizens have expressed their opinions. Someone commented, "Oh my God! It turns out that pulling turnips in fairy tales is not a lie! There are really radishes that cannot be pulled out. Others speculated: "This should be the seed of a genetically modified radish, and it is normal to grow as big as it is." Others are interested in geographical origin: "Where is this white radish?" Is it from Shandong? I heard that green onions are also high there. ”
As someone who grew up in the South, I was also shocked to see such a huge radish for the first time. Do you feel the same way?
