A pound of more than 30 yuan, the authentic Qianpai Sanhua plum, why is it rated as one of the "Top Ten Best Fruits in Lingnan"
After reading a lot of information about Sanhua Plum, I found out Many of them are not comprehensive and scattered. It is the season for Qianpai Sanhua Plum in my hometown, so I came up with the idea of ??writing an introduction for Qianpai Sanhua Plum in my hometown.
According to Xinyi. Data from the city's Qianpai Town government shows that the output value of Sanhua plums in Qianpai Town exceeded 2 billion in 2019, with a planting area of ??more than 100,000 acres (about the size of two Macau SAR government areas) and an output of more than 130,000 tons. It is known as "China's Three Plums" "The No. 1 Town of Hua Li".
Why do you add the word "2" for Qian Pai? After checking the information, I found that there is a difference between Qian Pai Sanhua Li and Sanhua Li from other areas.
There are two varieties of Qianpai Sanhua plums. One is the early-ripening variety that is available in our local area from March to May, and the other is the late-ripening variety that is available in our local area from April to June.
The fruiting period of Sanhua plums is basically 2 to 3 months. Most families finish picking them in more than a month. However, the ripening period of each village is different (the climate will be slightly different), so the overall fruiting period is The longer the period is,

In order to be more intuitive, I did this A radar chart to introduce the taste of plums from the perspectives of acidity and sweetness

The most obvious taste of this early-maturing Sanhua plum is freshness and sourness. , refreshing, crisp, early-ripening plums, small in size, with a very fresh greenish-yellow appearance. Just fit a whole one into your mouth, and you can eat it like a good girl. The fresh flesh bursts with sourness in your mouth. You can't help but exclaim: WC.
As for how to eat plums, we locals usually eat them directly, so that the natural flavor of plums can be best enjoyed. This is similar to the Cantonese people's attitude towards ingredients. The pursuit of freshness and nature is the same. Usually at home, I like to crush the plums, then add salt and mix them well, then let them sit for a while before eating.
You can refer to the video below for how to eat them. How to eat Hua Li, thanks to Fei Shen’s dubbing.

These are early-ripening plums in the late and late stages, which are considered very ripe. At this time, the plums are moderately sweet and sour, with rich juice and thick flesh. However, the crispness of the plums has decreased significantly, and the plums are not easy to preserve. Add one or two more. The plums will become soft as soon as the day is over, and of course the taste will not be the same.
Late-ripening plums? Picture source: Gourmet Pig
After introducing early-ripening, let’s focus on late-ripening. The money ranks Sanhua Li.

The late-ripening Sanhua plums are larger and more juicy than the earlier-ripening Sanhua plums. Mature late-ripening Qianpai Sanhua plums have a pink appearance and bright red flesh.

Other ways to eat Sanhua plums
The way to eat shown in the video above is another way to eat it in our local area. The method is to cut the plums into pieces and dry them in the sun to make Sanhua prunes, but this cost is very high, because the plums can be sold at a good price if they are sold directly. If you dry them in the sun, you have to cut them into pieces one by one. If you encounter bad ones, It was raining, so all the effort was wasted.

Things are rare and valuable, and there are very few extra-large fruits, and you can't pick a few from a mountain.
The mainstream is still large fruits, and we mainly sell large fruits. Small and medium-sized fruits are usually wholesaled to the fruit wholesale market, and the quality is not that good.
In our local area, we generally use the best-looking plums as gift fruits. We are particularly careful when picking and packing these plums, because we must try to ensure that the surface of the Sanhua plums is "pink". "Not scratched (named "Yinfei" because of a layer of white powder).
Generally, if you pick it lightly, it will leave marks, so you need to pay special attention when picking it, and it will take a lot of time.

A very important basis for judging the pricing of plums in our local area is the integrity of the layer of "powder" on the surface of Sanhua plums, because it It is a natural plastic wrap and cannot be synthesized artificially.
It is difficult to buy plums of this quality on the market, because the best fruits are used as gifts.

Express delivery is generally sent by EMS, SF Express, etc. because they promise to arrive within the province the next day ( Qianpai Town is more than 300 kilometers away from Guangzhou City). As long as you are not particularly remote, you can basically arrive the next day if you send it today (of course, I can’t guarantee that it will arrive the next day. I can only say that 99% of the previous customers can receive it the next day. goods). We will try our best to deliver it to you as quickly as possible.
We usually pick them in the morning and send them at noon, striving to deliver the best condition of Sanhua plums to everyone (of course it is best to pick them directly from the tree and eat them).
Because the most important thing about Sanhua plums is their freshness. As the old saying goes: It is better to eat a bite of fresh plums than a basket of rotten apricots. The importance of freshness to plums is self-evident.
Take the packaging box directly under the fruit tree to reduce secondary damage
We will have special foam boxes for the packaging of Sanhua plums, which can prevent the plums from being damaged during transportation. The courier brothers’ violent delivery has caused damage, but the price of foam boxes is not low. Adding the cost of cartons, the pure packaging cost will reach 5 yuan.
Plums on the market are generally purchased through local centralized procurement-wholesalers-supermarkets/hawkers-consumers. The timeline is relatively long, but the price will be cheaper. It depends on everyone’s needs. .
In addition: No free shipping outside Guangdong Province, no free shipping outside Guangdong Province! Because postage is very expensive, the express delivery fee for Sanhua plums in distant provinces exceeds the price of plums.
Others
Since 2016, I have been selling Sanhua plums from our hometown in the circle of friends (I actually felt embarrassed at first, feeling like I was selling advertising). Later, Think about it, our Sanhua plums are grown with hard work by our family members.
I like to eat it myself and it is delicious, so I am happy to recommend it to everyone.
Our government in Qianpai Town is also relatively powerful. In recent years, it has continued to attract investment, introduced material systems, expanded sales channels, and held the "Lihua Festival" and "Fruit Tasting Festival" every year, which has greatly improved Qian Pai Sanhua Li's exposure and popularity.
I would also like to thank all my friends for their support and trust in me. The most impressive thing is that a colleague has been buying from me since the first year we sold Sanhua plums in WeChat Moments. Been buying from me for 4 years.
