China Overseas Chinese News Agency, June 15 (Xinhua), according to the United States, "World Daily" reported that the fruit of a Chinese tree in the American Glendora became a "small steel bounce" on the day of evasion at home. "2000 yuan made the homeowner unexpected and overjoyed.
Mr. Li's family moved from the San Gabriel Valley Chinese settlement city to Highway 210 along the foothills of the Angel Forest at the foot of the city of Grandulla. Mulberry, each plant is nearly 50 inches in diameter and is like two huge umbrellas. It has a large shade in the yard in the hottest season every year. It is very cool.
However, Mr. Li said that his family’s greatest joy and annoyance this season is also the two trees: the mulberry tree begins to bear fruit in May every year, and the harvest year has hundreds of pounds of fruit. There are various ways to eat, including entertaining friends. Can't finish eating. A large number of ripe fruits have to be left on the trees, let them sway in the wind, and fall into the courtyard. The huge fructose attracts bees and worms, adding a lot of trouble to the busy work and life.
"This year is another big harvest year with more fruits than in previous years," Mr. Li said. Especially the purple mulberry, purple and black on the tree layer after layer every day. "At this time in previous years, there will be several parties at home to let friends pick mulberries, taste fresh mulberries, and eat waffles made of mulberries." I also notified my friends to pick fruits early this year, but I avoided the disease at home because of the new crown epidemic. Everyone stays at home. Seeing the mature mulberries falling on the ground every day, Mr. Li and his wife felt so distressed that they couldn’t be ashamed of the celestial beings. Do you want to try the neighbors and friends?
I did not expect a joke on the breakfast table, so that the Lis and his wife increased their pockets by more than 2,000 yuan within a month. The news of selling their own planted mulberries was released on the WeChat group, and dozens of orders came within the first hour, and the supply was in short supply on the first day. The Li and his wife, who had never turned their agricultural products into commodities, were a little caught off guard. They went to the street all night to find boxes, buy ladders, and the whole family went to pick trees. The backyard suddenly became a small farm.
"Since selling mulberries, our family has never slept asleep," Mrs. Li said with a smile. Originally it was a day to avoid epidemic at home. Although working remotely at home, it saves a lot of time by saving you from going out. But since the workshop in his backyard started, he has been busy every day. Because most of the stores were closed during the epidemic, the delivery time for online ordering has been greatly extended. Just to buy a plastic box containing mulberry and a bottle containing jam, it has already been a lot of trouble. When the boxes and bottles were out of stock midway, "the economy of small farmers is not easy."
The Lis and his wife said that they thought that they rarely saw fresh mulberries on the market in Southern California, probably because the ripening of mulberries depended heavily on the temperature and sunlight of the day, the output was extremely unstable, and the mulberries were tender and tender and could not be transported for long distances. . The fruits that ripened every day were picked by the Li couples, packed in boxes, stored in the refrigerator, and the three refrigerators and freezers in the garage at home, and finally all came in handy. At night, Mrs. Li boiled the extra fruits every day into mulberry sauce, Sterilize, bottle, cool, seal and decorate. Mrs. Li, who usually likes art and craftsmanship, also uses a small square cloth and hemp rope to pack the farmhouse flavor of jam. "I hope everyone can eat not only the jam I made, but also a good mood."
Mrs. Li said that during this season, many of her "guests" became friends with each other. Everyone talked about life, food, gardening and flowers, various DIY, and even neighbors and guests asked her for mulberry branches. It is also necessary to go home and plant a few plants, and enjoy the shade and eat fruits next year. A mulberry tree adds a lot of fun to the farm for everyone's bland home to avoid epidemics.
"These mulberries in my family have been around for 30 years," Mr. Li said. The former owner was an old French immigrant lady who lived in New Jersey since childhood. She loves fruits and loves mulberries. These mulberries were planted in the early 1990s. Mr. Li said that he had lived in Beijing since childhood. At that time, many children especially liked to raise silkworms. Finding mulberry leaves to feed silkworms became a difficult task for children because there were few mulberry trees.
"Maybe the mulberry leaves in the yard may have more space for development," Mr. Li and Mrs. Li laughed. The mulberry season is nearing completion, but they have also begun DIY DIY mulberry wine and stay as Christmas companions. Hand salute. One is to extend the service life of mulberries, and the other is to increase the economic value of small farmers. The more than 2,000 yuan of small steel plutonium is expected to continue to increase. (Reporter Yang Qing)
