Cake is a "delicacy" after the processing of the moon. Nowadays, Gongcheng's persimmon harvest in an all-round way, the villagers and enterprises are in full swing to process the moon cake into a cake, and there is a momentum of supply and marketing, its reliable quality, stable channels, satisfactory price, so that the cake has become the "baby" of the people of Gongcheng to enter the fast lane to get rich.
Gongcheng is known as the "hometown of Chinese persimmon", with a planting area of about 220,000 mu in the county, and is the largest county with an output of about 720,000 tons. Persimmon cakes are exported to South Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Guangdong and other domestic and foreign markets. At present, the persimmon processing industry has become one of the important ways for the county to increase income and get rich. In recent years, the county has focused on the overall work idea of "stabilizing agriculture, strengthening industry, and revitalizing business tourism", based on its own resource advantages, vigorously developing intensive processing, and expanding the characteristic industries of persimmon and persimmon processing.
Persimmon is an important industry in Gongcheng, the production of persimmons in Gongcheng can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, and the local people have relied on persimmons for generations to support their families and make a fortune. Every autumn, every household is busy, and after picking persimmons from the mountains, some of them are sold directly, and some of them are made into persimmons.
The processing of persimmons is not an easy thing, but for Gongcheng people, it seems to be an innate ability, many children every autumn, after finishing their homework, they help the family to make persimmons, choose fruits, clean, peel, dry, shape, frost, so the steps are familiar with people's hearts. Today, I will tell you about the peeling process of making persimmons from Gongcheng mooncakes.
There is a saying in the Liangguang region called "tired of scraping cassava". Because the yield of rice was not high in the past, it was necessary to plant other food crops as a supplement, and cassava did not have high requirements for the growing environment, but the yield was very large, so it became an important choice for many farmers. Every time you dig cassava, you have to help your family scrape cassava, and scraping cassava is a difficult thing, so there is this saying. In fact, this sentence is also applicable to many people born in the 60s and before the 70s - tired of fruit and cutting persimmons.
In the past, the production conditions were backward, and when making persimmons, the peeling was done by hand one by one. The speed of pure manual peeling is slow, and it takes about 10 seconds for acquaintances to peel one, and the peeling is uneven, and the loss of pulp is high. There is a friend of Gongcheng, he has a deep scar on his left index finger, that is, when he was a child, he helped the family to peel persimmons, and he was so tired that he almost fell asleep, and he accidentally cut his hand. He said that when he was a child, he felt hopeless when he saw persimmons piled up in the yard, and vowed not to plant persimmons and eat persimmons in the future. But when he walked out, his heart was still thinking about the persimmon at home.
With the progress of science and technology and the development of mechanized production, the persimmon processing industry in Gongcheng has also replaced cannons with shotguns and used peeling machines. The use of a peeler can improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and ensure the quality and hygiene safety of persimmons.
In the 90s, the peeling machine gradually entered the homes of the people of Gongcheng, at this time the semi-automatic peeling machine was the mainstay, and the persimmon only needed to be inserted into the rotator, and the persimmon could be peeled by touching it at a suitable angle with a knife. It only takes 4-5 seconds to peel a persimmon, and the persimmon that used to be cut by the whole family for a whole day can now be completed by one person and one machine, which improves the efficiency and is safer and more hygienic than traditional manual peeling.
In recent years, the processing tools of Gongcheng persimmons have been further upgraded, and many large growers have purchased automatic peeling machines. The automatic peeling machine can peel 20 persimmons in one minute, and only need to manually put the persimmons in the fruit conveying device, and the conveyor belt will transfer the persimmons to the peeling device, peeling the consequences, and the skin is separated. Moreover, the automatic peeling machine peels thinner, the pulp loss is smaller, and it is more hygienic and safer.
A friend took the child back to his hometown in Gongcheng to play last month, and his son saw the villagers peeling the persimmons, saying that he had to try everything, and after peeling a large basket of persimmons, he said that it was fun to peel the persimmons. At the end of the day, the apron and hands are dyed yellow by the juice of the persimmon, and if you are not careful, you will be bruised, and your back hurts at the end of the day, and decades later to your own children, cutting persimmons can also be regarded as a kind of fun.
It is the continuous progress of processing equipment that allows consumers at home and abroad to eat such high-quality Gongcheng persimmons
In Gongcheng Yanxin Industrial Park, Guilin Gongcheng Fenghuayuan Food *** employees are peeling, cleaning, arranging, baking, loosening, shaping, and air-drying the purchased persimmons. "Our factory processes and consumes about 100,000 catties of persimmons every day, and the large-scale production mode not only avoids the influence of the weather, but also produces higher quality persimmons, and we take order-based sales, which is not greatly affected by the market, and the output value of persimmons is about 50 million yuan a year. Chen Lihua, the head of the company, said.
There are several large-scale enterprises like Fenghuayuan in Gongcheng, and there are nearly 100 persimmon production in the hundreds of thousands to millions of catties. Small persimmon has taken a solid step on the road of consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation, promoting rural revitalization, and promoting common prosperity. According to statistics, the annual output of persimmons in the county is about 100,000 tons, and the output value is about 600 million yuan.
Zhao Caijing, director of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau of Gongcheng Yao Autonomous County, believes that the future of making the persimmon industry bigger can be expected. In the future, we should vigorously cultivate and expand the leading enterprises of persimmon product processing, improve the level of deep processing of products and brand effect, increase the added value of products, enhance the brand and influence of persimmons, improve the function of persimmon industry and the whole industry chain, start the brand of Gongcheng persimmon, and become the golden fruit fruit of the revitalization of the countryside. ”
