"Apples are sweet or not, take a look at this little mechanism, I also just learned, don't buy a loss next time"
In this impetuous society, people are always looking for faster and more convenient solutions to problems, which may be a characteristic of our times. Sometimes, however, moving quickly isn't always the smartest option, especially when it comes to things like shopping and food that need to be savored. Today, I'm going to share with you a trick that I've only recently mastered – how to judge the sweetness of apples in a small way, so that we don't regret the low sweetness of the apples we bought.
When I was a child, I used to go to the orchard with my grandfather to pick fruits, which were not commercially packaged at that time, and the fruits were placed on the trees for you to choose. My grandfather always taught me that apples should be chosen based on their color and shine, but this is not the most accurate method. Later, I learned a trick from an uncle who was a fruit grower, and from then on, I would never buy unsweet apples again.
The tip is to look at the small hole in the bottom of the apple.
Yes, you heard it right, it's that slightly sunken hole at the bottom of the apple. I was surprised at the time, how could there be such a little secret? But that's the way it is.
One day, I went to the orchard to buy apples, and my uncle happened to be busy next to him, so I asked him curiously, "Uncle, how do you know if these apples are really sweet?" The uncle smiled and picked up an apple to show me: "Look, this little hole? If an apple is very sweet, a little insect will get into it and eat the flesh, so sometimes when you see this small hole, it is actually a good thing, it means that the apple is very sweet." After listening to his explanation, I suddenly felt enlightened, this is the case!
So, I began to carefully observe the bottom of each apple, and found that Uncle Fruit Farmer was right, it is true that some apples will have a small depression at the bottom, which is the mark left by the small insects. So, I tried to choose apples with small holes at the bottom, and it turned out that these fruits were actually sweeter and tastier. Since then, every time I pick an apple, I don't just look at the appearance, but pay more attention to this small detail.
However, this method is not 100% accurate, as not all apples will be invaded by small bugs. Sometimes, factors such as the growth environment and variety of the fruit will also affect the appearance of small holes. Therefore, this is only a reference and not an absolute standard. But at the very least, it gave me a new way of picking apples.
In addition to this little trick, I also have a lot of experience with fruit selection. For example, when choosing oranges, you can gently shake them to hear if there is a sound of water shaking inside, which usually indicates that the flesh is full and juicy, and when choosing strawberries, you can observe whether the skin is uniform red, and feel whether the flesh is full and elastic, these are all tips for judging the freshness of the fruit.
However, in addition to picking fruits, we also encounter many situations in our lives that require careful savoring. For example, when choosing a job, we should not only look at the superficial treatment and fame and fortune, but also consider the development space and whether it is compatible with our own interests and values; when choosing a relationship, we should not only look at the external conditions and appearances, but also have an in-depth understanding of each other's inner world and whether it is really suitable.
Life is like an apple, it looks glamorous on the outside, but the real sweetness is often hidden in the details of the heart. Learn to observe and feel with your heart in order to taste the sweetness of life.
You may think that these tips are not so important, but in my opinion, they are like a key in life that can open the door to the discovery of beauty. Sometimes, we just need to stop and feel with our hearts, and we can find that everything around us is so beautiful and interesting.
So, the next time you go to pick fruit, you might as well try these tips, which may bring you unexpected surprises. Life is a journey of continuous discovery, let us taste it with our hearts, feel it with our hearts, and experience the beauty and sweetness with our hearts.
