The fun of picking mulberries.

Text/Du Caixia

Picking mulberry should be a pleasure that I have actively participated in since I was a child.

I lived in the countryside when I was a child. There are few kinds of fruits I see, and most of them need money to buy. Only in the mature season of mulberries can I feast my eyes without restriction. Little friends rushed in the fields in twos and threes, picking out chubby ones, almost black in color and with a faint light. They threw them into their mouths and chewed them one by one. It was really beautiful. Occasionally, if I want to change my taste, I will pick some semi-ripe fruits, which are brown and red in color and slightly sour, and I have a special taste in my heart. Of course, after you get carried away, there are red and purple marks on your hands, face and clothes. It is also good luck to go home and get a scolding. Where can I know the elegance of "why deep red Mo Wen dyes, mulberry spreads poetry"

Later, when I was not confused, I went out to study and work. When I got married, I didn't have time to pick mulberries. In recent years, rural tourism has become a new fashion. I only meet friends occasionally to taste the selfless gift of nature in May and June. Of course, at this time, I have lost my stubbornness when I was young and my behavior has become quite satisfactory. Before going out, you must prepare film gloves and sometimes disposable lunch boxes, and put the picked mulberries neatly in the boxes. I also pay attention to how to eat. If I try it early on the spot, I will carefully hold the fruit stalk, send the whole fruit to my teeth, shut up and enjoy the sweet taste silently, so as not to dye my Koga and make me laugh. Take it home and eat it all over the floor. Drain the washed mulberry, sprinkle a layer of sugar and put it in the freezer. When I think of it, I will take out a few tablets and thaw them slightly naturally, which is cool and refreshing and beautiful to the extreme.

Not long ago, some friends and I visited Ditan Village, a legendary summer resort. Originally, the road at the entrance of Ligen Health Center was a direct route to the destination, but we turned left and the vehicle was driving on a country road. This road is only as wide as a wheel, but the scenery on both sides of the road is very pleasant We reach out of the window, we can touch the green walnut and play with it. At the same time, we can pick some mulberries from time to time and throw them into our mouths, which is very interesting. Suddenly, I stopped the car, opened the car door and ran out. What a surprise! I see a mulberry tree with white mulberries! Everyone in the same trade thinks the fruit is not ripe. When I was enjoying myself, I barely tasted it and was full of praise! Yes, this rare species was rare when I was a child. It has existed in my memory for 40 years. This meeting is purely fate. Bai Juyi's lover Xiang once wrote such a poem: it's good that red and purple are not ripe. I'm sure she doesn't know that this white mulberry can still be dissolved in a sweet heart.

These days, a long-awaited rain came to the earth. Mulberries moistened by rain should grow fuller. Thinking of those cute little guys looming in the shade of the branches makes my heart slightly drunk.

Tip: There are two kinds of mulberries: black and white, and purple and black are top-grade tonics for fresh food. White mulberry juice is rich, sweet and big. It tastes better, but black is still the best medicine. You can eat it directly, soak in wine or cook porridge.
