Although it is winter, many people have begun to look forward to the beginning of summer, eating half a watermelon and drinking a bottle of soda in the warm summer weather, the taste is like a fairy enjoyment.
Now with the improvement of people's material conditions, the idea of looking forward to summer seems to be getting weaker and weaker, like watermelon, it seems that it is no longer exclusive to summer, people eat it all year round, and now there are more and more types of watermelon, and the taste is more and more the same.
But the watermelon in the past is very different from now, in the 80s, there was a watermelon in the market was extremely popular, this watermelon is called "black-skinned watermelon", it can be said that black-skinned watermelon is the childhood memories of many older generations, in that era, if you can comfortably eat a mouthful of "black-skinned watermelon" in summer, it is really a race over the living fairy!
But the once popular "black-skinned watermelon" is now gone, and now there are more and more types of watermelons on the market, but there is no kind of melon called "black-skinned watermelon"!
This makes one wonder where the taste of childhood has gone, why has the black-skinned watermelon been eliminated by the market, and what is its fatal flaw?
«——【The popular "black-skinned watermelon"·】——»
In the summer of the 80s, the economic development trend of the mainland was very good, and handsome men and beautiful women could be seen everywhere walking on the streets, and small traders pushing carts could be seen everywhere next to the handsome men and beautiful women, and on the cars were a bunch of swarthy and swarthy round things like "ground eggs". What are these eggs, black and unsightly, but they are hot everywhere?
In fact, there is no one who does not know this egg, this is the watermelon that prevailed in the 80s, in that era, there were such black watermelons everywhere, and now basically no one has seen this black watermelon, not only many people are curious about this black watermelon, what kind of black watermelon is black, why can it be all the rage in the country in that era?
This kind of watermelon, which was very popular in the 80s, is called black melon, which is a special watermelon variety, which is characterized by a dark black skin, which is different from the green or light green watermelon that we commonly see now.
Black melon is also known as black melon in some places, because of its deep color, sometimes black and even purple tones, so it is called black melon, and the reason why this watermelon is black is because the melanin content inside the fruit is relatively high, which causes its watermelon skin to appear black.
The black-skinned watermelon is very recognizable compared to ordinary watermelon, in addition to its unique black color, the shape and texture of the black-skinned watermelon are also very different from ordinary watermelons.
Usually the black melon has a rounded shape, sometimes slightly oval. It has a smooth surface with shallow stripes, and its surface is usually rough compared to regular watermelons, with many raised textures on them.
Put the black melon and the ordinary watermelon together, you can distinguish it at a glance, but unfortunately now in our daily life, we can rarely see the figure of the black watermelon in the fruit market, it has been gradually eliminated with the development of the times.
But the strange thing is that the reason why the black-skinned watermelon was eliminated was not because of its taste, because it was slightly better than the average watermelon. Although black melons can also taste different due to differences in quality, in general, black melons are sweeter and more tender.
Some varieties of black melons are even far superior to ordinary watermelons in terms of sweetness, moisture and taste, so this kind of black melon can be loved by consumers in the 80s. In the 80s, in addition to eating the gourd of the black melon, the peel of the black melon was also made into a dish and served on the table.
In the 80s, a refreshing and delicious cold melon rind could relieve the stuffiness that many people bring about in summer. In addition to bringing coolness to people, black melon is also made into some special foods and drinks, such as melon juice, melon wine and melon sauce made from black melon in those days.
Some people also believe that black melons have certain medicinal properties and can be used to treat certain diseases. So in that era, for various reasons, black melon became the first choice for people to quench their thirst in summer.
From this point of view, the black melon really has many advantages, but we can't help but wonder, people living in modern times have basically never seen the black melon seed, so where did the disappeared black melon go?
Why is the black melon eliminated by the market? It is sweet and delicious. It's so rich and juicy, why can't it be compared to ordinary watermelon? Does he have other shortcomings?
«——【·Black Peel Melon from Glory to Loneliness】——»
In the 80s, the fruit of black melon was actually just born, and there are many varieties of watermelon that we can see in the fruit market now. But in that era, the black melon was unique in the fruit market, and it can be said that his debut was the peak, although this kind of melon can no longer be seen, but the glory of this melon in that era, our people can't imagine it at all.
In those days, people bought watermelons in the summer were not like now, either cut in half, or cut into pieces, and bought watermelons in those days, and bought them several, dozens of catties and dozens of catties. Some people even bring a large nylon pocket for the convenience of buying watermelon. Buy it and fill it up and carry it straight home.
At that time, the black watermelon was the largest and most storable melon seed in the fruit market, and it could grow to twenty or thirty catties even if it was placed at room temperature, he would not be bad for a week, so these advantages made him the melon seed of the fire at that time.
At that time, basically all over the country's fruit markets were sold black melons, but now we basically can't see his figure in the fruit market, many farmers seem to have forgotten the black melon seeds, how brilliant he used to be and how lonely he is now, so why is he lonely? What kind of reason makes him go to the road of decline?
If you want to talk about the reason for the loneliness of the black melon, the first thing is that he has too many competitors, and now we can see all kinds of melon seeds in the fruit market, such as the black beauty with the same color as the black melon, like the unicorn melon we eat most often, these melon seeds are competitors of the black melon.
With the gradual improvement of the market, more and more melon seeds are pouring into the market, and people have more and more choices, so the black melon is placed among the many choices, and it is naturally not so outstanding.
In addition to the fact that there are many competitors, there is also a very important reason, that is, farmers have begun to stop growing this melon seed. When it comes to why farmers don't plant anymore, it's because people's income is really not proportional to their efforts.
«——【·Conclusion·】——»
The black melon, although the melon itself has many advantages, but its planting cycle is too long compared to the ordinary melon seeds, he harvested a stubble, the ordinary watermelon has already harvested two or three stubbles, so under various factors, the black melon is gradually eliminated by the market.
Now the black melon has become a childhood memory for many people, I don't know what kind of taste the black melon is now recalled for people who have eaten it?
