Grapes are a well-known specialty of Xinjiang.
When I think of grapes, I think of Turpan in northern Xinjiang.
After all, the raisins of Turpan are famous.
In fact, there is not much difference between grapes in northern and southern Xinjiang.
Many of Turpan's grapes were also transported from southern Xinjiang.
Turpan is famous only because it has the largest raisin trading market in the country.
Just like the hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake, most of them are bathing crabs, that is, crabs from other places are transported to Yangcheng Lake for a bath, and they become local crabs.
Grapes can be grown all over Xinjiang. Near the village where I live, there is a vineyard village, and the core industry is grapes.
How many are there?3500 acres.
It is planted by the villagers and purchased by the village collective, similar to a cooperative.
The varieties are mainly green fragrant concubines.
This grape, without seeds, is sweet to slightly acidic, and is very suitable for raisins.
Why is it called Green Fragrance?
Obviously, it is related to Xiangfei, and in the Qianlong period, it was a tribute, which could only be paid to the emperor, Xiangfei and dignitaries.
It's a bit like the concubine in the lychee laughing.
As soon as the concubine laughed on the red dust, no one knew that it was a lychee."
Li Longji smiled in order to make Yang Guifei smile and transport lychees from Lingnan for a long time.
To put it bluntly, fruit is a luxury, and most of the names are taken by nobles.
It is a problem for ordinary people to eat, who is eligible to enjoy the tribute.
I walked around the vineyard village and found trellises everywhere and within reach.
There are green, yellow, and purple.
In addition to the green fragrant concubine, the purple sapphire is also a variety of raisins.
The grape promenade in the village, which should be several kilometers long, is surprisingly cool to wander under the grape trellises.
Fresh grapes are very cheap in southern Xinjiang, about 2 pieces per kilogram.
One kilogram of fresh grapes can dry about half a kilogram of raisins.
Grapes in southern Xinjiang are generally not picked until September, and then placed in a drying room to dry naturally.
The technology of growing grapes in each region of Xinjiang is the same, and there is not much difference in land and sunshine.
Many agricultural products are actually just a little bit of origin advantage.
For example, Sunshine Rose, Yunnan is the main production area, in fact, the quality is not as good as that of Luopu in southern Xinjiang.
The grapes of Xinjiang kill the grapes of other parts of the country in seconds.
This is something you can only know if you go to the local area for yourself. The grapes from Xinjiang, due to the aging problem, there is still a difference in taste, the tree is freshly picked, the taste is amazing, I have never eaten such delicious grapes.
Originally, I planned to go to Turpan to inspect raisins, but slowly I found that the grapes in southern Xinjiang are not fundamentally different, and they are cheaper.
In fact, southern Xinjiang is the main producer of fruits in Xinjiang.
Apples, peaches, pears, cantaloupe, watermelons, grapes, dates, pomegranates, and more, all of them.
If the high-quality fruits of southern Xinjiang are selected, there will be a large market.
Locals will only farm, not sell. After all, there are village collectives and cooperatives to process.
I met a barefoot uncle in the village, who was blind in one eye.
I greeted him, and he quickly shook my hand.
Then, the uncle turned around and went home.
When he came out, he had a pair of scissors in his hand.
I cut a bag of grapes from the vine and stuffed them into me.
Such enthusiasm is hard to come across anywhere else.
When I walked to the depths of the corridor, I was surrounded by three children, who were very curious about the camera in my hand.
They were all wearing slippers and covered in mud.
I said take pictures of them and they were very happy.
Seriously set up the pose, waiting for the click.
Some of them go to elementary school, some go to kindergarten, and their eyes are full of simplicity that is not polluted by materialism.
When we were kids, we probably did the same.
After the shooting, they picked a large handful of grapes on the grape trellis and put them in my hands.
I'm also happy like a child.
I'm wondering, isn't it poor and generous?
In fact, they don't think of themselves as poor at all, but rich.
Because, if you haven't seen the prosperity, you won't have the desolation of your heart.
I suddenly remembered that the show "Metamorphosis" was unfair to rural children.
When a rural child sees the bigger world outside, how many of them can accept their current situation?
And urban children will cherish their current life more when they see the tatters of the countryside.
We should be glad to live in a place where we still have the opportunity to change our destiny.
On the way out of the vineyard village, I saw a big brother with chili peppers in front of his house and wanted to buy some.
I asked, 2 yuan a kilogram.
I gave him 5 bucks and went into his house.
Mother, wife, and son are also at home.
I don't understand what they say.
The eldest brother is somewhat literate and can speak Mandarin.
He is an electrician who works in Hotan with a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan.
So why are you still planting these fields?
Because, no matter how much land is allocated, it is not allowed to be abandoned, and something must be planted.
Anyway, you can't be idle, you have to have something to do.
In the canal next to the village, there are many children bathing.
The water is very muddy and flowing rapidly, indicating that the Karakash River is being released at this moment.
Some jumped from the shore, and some drilled in the water.
There are all *** boys and girls.
Probably, this is another us in parallel time and space.
I thought about it, the life of ordinary people, if you don't fast forward 10,000 times, you can't see it at all.
Because, it's not interesting.
And even more without waves!
