Then Yang Fang introduced some of the so-called ornamental fruit varieties they had newly cultivated to everyone, which aroused unanimous praise from everyone. However, Wu Hao did not just look at it and never expressed his opinion. This also made Yang Fang, including everyone at the scene, also express their opinions.
They all felt it. Obviously, he himself had certain opinions about this kind of ornamental fruit.
Feeling this, Yang Fang did not stay any longer, but instead led everyone into a glass greenhouse nearby.
Compared with the previous glass greenhouse, where all kinds of flowers were blooming, this place seemed much simpler, but the air was still filled with a fresh fruity fragrance.
And as far as the eye can see, the various plants and trees here are covered with all kinds of fruits. Every moment they are fruitful and the fruity fragrance is overflowing.
The main planting and cultivation in this glass greenhouse are some new melon and fruit varieties that we have researched. For example, this peach tree here is a new peach tree variety that we cultivated through transgenic and gene editing technology intervention. We have become
Xiantao No. 1.
Xiantao No. 1?
After everyone heard the name, they couldn't help but rush over. The peach tree in front of them was about two meters long. The trunk was thin, but it held a lot of peaches. Each peach was very huge, and the diameter of the fruit was twelve meters.
More than 15 centimeters, some peaches have a diameter of 14 to 15 centimeters, which is very large.
This also caused these huge peaches to bend the entire peach branch, so technicians had to hang ropes and poles to support the peach tree branches and peaches to prevent the peaches from being too big and heavy and crushing the branches.
break.
In order to prevent each large peach from falling, a net bag is specially used to hang it in the net to prevent the peach from falling if it is too large.
The shape of the whole peach is similar to the traditional heart-shaped peach, but it is more rounded than the shape of the peach, and the wrapper does not have such a layer of fine hair, and the outer skin is a bit like a nectarine and a bit like a yellow peach.
As for the color, it is the color of a peach. The sharp corners reveal red, and then turn to pink and spread out like the entire body of the peach. It is very beautiful. The whole color, size, and image are like those in traditional New Year pictures, held by the birthday girl.
The longevity peach.
So everyone understands why this peach is called Xiantao No. 1.
Yang Fang smiled and nodded, and then said to everyone: "It's Xiantao No. 1, taken from the Xiantao in the Queen Mother's peach garden.
In order to facilitate the management of peach trees and future picking and harvesting, including the possible use of some automated and unmanned equipment, we have dwarfed the shape of the peach trees so that the height of the peach trees is controlled to about two meters.
And we control the fruiting time to about one year, which means that the entire peach tree can bear fruit within one year of growth. In this way, we can see profits as soon as possible and increase the income of fruit farmers.
However, one-year-old peach trees are too young and have too thin branches to bear too many peaches. Therefore, most of the fruits need to be removed in the first year, leaving only maybe one-tenth of the fruits, thus giving the fruit trees
A longer growth process.”
After the introduction, Yang Fang walked to the branch where the peaches were hanging, and then introduced with a smile to everyone: "Everyone has seen that our peach tree is very huge, with an average size of more than twelve centimeters. Some of them are
It may reach 14 or 15 centimeters, and we even harvested an 18-centimeter peach.
The shape of this kind of peach is also very beautiful, much like the longevity peach held by a birthday girl. The color is also very beautiful. The red color from the tip of the peach slowly extends downwards and becomes lighter, and the ripe peach will exude a fruity aroma.
"
Speaking of this, Yang Fang took a breath and said with a smile: "As you know, many of the peach varieties now are not as delicious as before. The taste is bland and the texture is not good.
There are many reasons for this. On the one hand, people are overly pursuing growth speed and ripening, so the growth cycle of peaches is short, and the fructose in the fruit does not have enough time to accumulate, so the taste is bland and not sweet.
Another reason is the demand for transportation. In order to facilitate transportation, these fruits are often picked when they are seven or eight years old and then transported.
Because the texture of the peaches is relatively hard at this time, it is not easy to be bumped or damaged, and it is suitable for long-distance transportation.
Once the peaches are ripe, their texture becomes soft, and not only are they easily bruised and damaged, affecting the quality of the peaches, but they may also quickly spoil, causing losses.
As for our peach, special editing has been carried out on the gene, making it easy to collect sugar, so the overall sweetness is relatively high.
The whole peach is divided into three stages. The first is the growth stage. The peach at this stage is no different from ordinary peaches. The taste is relatively bland and the texture of the pulp is relatively hard. When the peach is seven to eight years old, the peach pulp will become crispy. This
At that time, the sugar sweetness of the fruit is about 15 to 18 degrees. When the peach reaches nine or even full ripeness, its sugar sweetness can reach about 20 to 25 degrees, which is already very sweet.
No matter which one it is, it is much sweeter than the peaches on the market. And this kind of sweetness is not overly sweet or cloyingly sweet, but a refreshing sweetness that is very acceptable and likeable.
As for the taste of the fruit, when it is seventy or eighty percent ripe, it is relatively crisp and delicious, a bit like the texture of a melon. When it reaches the 90% to full maturity stage, the inner pulp of the peach begins to turn into juice, and the texture of the peach becomes soft, somewhat like a soft peach.
It tastes like peach.
So with one kind of peach, we can combine two tastes to suit different people."
Can you try this peach? After hearing Yang Fang's introduction, some people at the scene couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately shouted in the crowd. Wu Hao and others also showed knowing smiles when they heard this.
Yang Fang smiled and nodded: "Of course, we can pick it on the spot."
With that said, under everyone's choice, Yang Fang and Zhang Jun each picked a peach that looked relatively good. The one picked by Zhang Jun was the largest, while the one picked by Yang Fang was smaller, but the color was prettier.
Yours is not yet ripe, it is about seven or eight years old, so it has a crisper texture. Mine is fully ripe, so it has a softer and sweeter texture. Yang Fang handed the two peaches to the staff as she spoke.
, as for the staff, they took the two peaches to a tap not far away and washed them, then quickly cut them into small pieces and served them.
"Everyone can have a try." Although Yang Fang was greeting everyone, her eyes were directed at Wu Hao and Zhang Jun. Everyone knew that they were the core focus.
Zhang Jun, on the other hand, glanced at Wu Hao with a smile, quickly picked up a disposable plastic fork on it, forked a piece of peach and put it into his mouth.
It’s delicious and crispy! Zhang Jun admired the peach while chewing it. After eating, he pointed his fork at the fully ripe peach picked by Yang Fang on the other side.
