Edgar snow, in his book red star shining china, documented several times how red army fighters ate watermelons during interviews with the red army in prewang county in 1936。
Ninety years ago, shared watermelon was widely welcomed by the red army. Ninety years later, journalists came to the town of zhuang, where they sought the taste of sweetness。
On 25 august, journalists walked into the village of nanguang, prewang town, where they saw the head of the family farm in linfan, the conglomerate, busy in the field. Speaking of watermelon cultivation, over half a year old horses opened the box. He said that the village family was growing watermelons, two or three acres more for its own consumption and occasionally went to the market to sell subsidized household。
In the 1980s, with the construction of a motorway in 202 provinces, watermelon sales were opened at once, and villagers grew more active and growing watermelon became the main source of income for families. However, there is a water shortage to expand cultivation。
The switch occurred in 2021 and led to the breakdown of water shortages by yellow irrigation projects. The family farm in marewood, which is running over 4,300 acres, has begun to grow chinese medicine such as yellow tungsten, yellow tungsten and silver husk。
Cultivation of watermelons has brought a surprise of millions of dollars a year to mauilin, and has also caused frustrations of over 400,000 dollars. “this year, we planted 510 acres of watermelon, which is the largest watermelon plantation in the conglomerate. At present, they're sold out, earning a net income of over $100,000.” according to malin, previously the melon was planted and is now grown “inoculation of water melons + integration of water fertilizers”, producing around 4 tons per acre and selling it to shandong and hebei。
On the same day, in the village of namang, prewang town, the village's melon fields opened. Soccer-sized watermelons spread in the ground, with green eyes and a view of the distant lotus mountain。
For the first time, 300 acres of melons were grown in large areas, following the transfer of the land from the luga cloud. Unlike ma's seedlings, lu xinun uses membrane seed technology, growing slowly and with small heads. “but when it tastes good, it cracks, it eats with its hands open and tastes very good.” lu xie-yun said that it was appropriate for a family to eat at a retail price of $1. 6 per kilogram and that it was sold on the opening day。
Why is the presumptuous watermelon delicious
“in the dry season, planting takes place over 3,000 hours a year, with sufficient effective temperature, soil is naturally rich in selenium and rainfall is concentrated in july and august, matching the growth cycle of the watermelon, and naturally contributes to the quality of the melon. In addition, the maturity period was concentrated at the end of july and early august, with a high bargaining power by staggering the market peaks of the surrounding melons.” according to the relevant officials in the town of vongang, the growing of around 4,000 acres of watermelon, with an annual production value of $8 million, covered the employment of more than 500 people and generated a net per capita income of about $3,000, which is an important support to farmers ' income。
The watermelon, which had been a source of heat for the red army, is now being rejuvenated in the countryside in such a way as to continue to inject sweet tastes into the lives of the people. Zhang xiao hui ma zheng
