Potential solidity inside, rich color outside. The quality of the green vermilion changes, and the shape is formed according to the luck. The clear horn plays and a slight sourness arises; the palace moves and the harmony and sweetness arise. After it becomes mature, the five colors are arranged and classified into categories, either red or yellow. Sweet and sour in moderation, more beautiful than honeycomb. The floating colors are dotted, and the red ones are like elixirs. It splashes in the entrance, and the delicious taste is difficult to escape. Seeing it brings joy to the heart, and holding it brings peace of mind. ——Fu Xuan (Western Jin Dynasty) "Li Fu". It is catchy to read and sweet to taste. After reading "Li Fu", everyone will fall in love with plums. However, the earliest green plums on the market are green in color, fresh and moist like green bamboo, crisp and fragrant when bitten; if left alone, the plums slowly turn red, and are soft and slightly sweet in the mouth. People who like to eat sour will like eating plums very much, while people who can't eat sour can only sigh. When I was making plum wine that day, I had some plums left over, so I soaked the plums in rock sugar according to the method of green plum juice. Tonight, the rock sugar has melted, and the plum juice poured out can only be described as amazing. It has a light pink color, a sweet taste, and a unique flavor when drinking it. Even the soaked plums taste sweet and sour, making your tongue and teeth wet.
