【Media watching river song】Come and taste the red fruit of the river bend sea, the picking season is coming

Shanxi Evening News reporter Li Yali reported: In hequ, in addition to sour porridge, there is a very representative product, that is, sea red fruit. I was unable to visit the sea red fruit trees that grew in arid areas on the banks of the Yellow River. However, in the specialty shops on Hequ Street, various packages of sea red fruit drink gift boxes show that it is the most representative specialty of Hequ.

It is late autumn, the season when the sea red fruit will be picked, the locals say that the frost has been beaten, the color is scarlet, the light is pleasant, the sour and sweet are moderate, you can eat raw, you can also make canned, jam, fruit wine, you can also make "drunken fruit" like the processing technology of "wine dates". Unfortunately, walking around the street did not find anyone selling sea red fruit, and I couldn't eat it. Ren Junwen, director of the Hequ Museum, told the Shanxi Evening News that this fruit tree is very long-lived, up to 500 years old, so the sea red fruit is also known as the "longevity fruit", it can withstand the cold of -35 ° C, can also tolerate the high temperature of 40 ° C, but it prefers drought, so there are few traces on the river bank.

The history of planting sea red fruit in Hequ County can be traced back to at least 800 years ago, in recent years, due to the development of the deep processing industry of sea red fruit, the scope of planting is expanding, and the local sea red fruit processing enterprises basically convert the surrounding fruit tree production into beverages, canned food, preserved fruits, etc., and sell them to other places. Therefore, buying a can of sea red fruit drink in the supermarket is a comfort. In fact, delicious things have always been unattainable. On the road to discovering delicious food, imperfection makes people look forward to it, and can only wait for the next time to taste it.

Hequ small grains are also abundant, with a variety of beans, as well as millet, buckwheat and so on. This time in the river qu tasted a kind of ying batter is very good, millet added to the fried noodles boiled into a thin porridge, the degree of thickness is similar to sesame paste, belongs to the salty porridge series, looks unremarkable, but after the entrance slightly fried flavor of the noodles, it is worth a taste.
