Maojian bonus

It is said that when Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River and asked about Liyang's local specialties, Shi Yizhi, a university student, once replied, "Maojian is full of flowers and melons." It can be seen that Maojian bonus is one of the traditional local products in Liyang. Maojian has been producing bonus for nearly six years. Huahongshu's hometown is on Dongdongting Mountain near Taihu Lake. There are beautiful lakes and mountains, rich in fruits and trees, and there are "Dongshan loquat" and "Xishan Myrica rubra", and bonus is one of the products. Changzhou, a scenic spot with mountains and water, is suitable for people's living, gathering and reproduction. After Hongwunian in the Ming Dynasty, because of the large population and few people, people gradually moved out. A fruit farmer moved to Maojian Village, Liyang. He brought several kinds of fruit tree seedlings and transplanted them in front of the village. Among them, there were two mangrove trees. Most of the fruit trees he transplanted survived and blossomed, but it was difficult for the fruits to maintain the original flavor of Dongdongting Mountain. Only two mangrove trees not only grow vigorously, but also produce bonus, shape and taste, which is far superior to the original people of Dongting Mountain. Once on the market, the price was high and the sales were smooth, so bonus became the preferred specialty sideline in Maojian area. This kind of fruit, round and slightly flat, is pale in appearance, yellow in white, red in yellow, fragrant in smell, crisp in mouth, tender and residue-free, moderate in sweetness and sourness, and inferior in color, fragrance and taste to other fruits. But only those produced near Maojian are top grade. Although it has been transplanted and developed in other areas such as Hengrun, the fruits produced can not maintain the flavor characteristics of Maojian products. Liyang also has other fruits produced in large quantities, such as peaches, plums, apricots and pears. But eating more peaches will cause abdominal pain, eating more apricots will cause diarrhea, and eating more bonuses will make people feel moist and comfortable. Don't drink water for a day without other adverse reactions. In addition, Liyang people often soak immature bonuses in white wine. After more than one year (the older the better), they can treat gastrointestinal diseases and have more special effects on dysentery.
