I love my hometown’s diary of red plums and apricots

My hometown is in Dingxi. Although the place is not beautiful, there are two specialties that are unforgettable for everyone, namely apricots and potatoes.

What I want to introduce to you today is apricot.

The drizzle is like silk, and the apricot trees greedily suck the dew of spring. They stretched out their tender green branches, with heart-shaped leaves, holding large light red flower umbrellas and laughing happily in the rain and fog. After the flowers faded in March, the little apricots climbed up the branches one by one. After April, the apricot trees are packed with apricots.

The apricot is heart-shaped, the same size as a peach, and covered with hairs. As the apricots mature, the hairs gradually disappear. Pick one and put it in your mouth and bite it. When your tongue touches the fat body of apricot, it makes people feel delicate and soft.

The apricot is green at first, then turns to light yellow, and finally turns to golden. If you bite it open gently, you can see the bright yellow flesh, and your lips and tongue will be stained with yellow juice. . Unripe apricots are sour and sweet, while ripe apricots are sweet, making people love them more and more.

When I was a child, I once ate too many apricots and found that my teeth were so loose and soft that I couldn’t even bite tofu. I realized that even though the apricots are ripe, they still have a sour taste. Because they are too sweet, they don’t feel sour when eaten. After eating enough apricots and eating something else, I felt my teeth were sore from them.

Listen to what adults say: "Don't eat too much apricots. Eating less can open up the spleen, strengthen the stomach, and aid digestion. Eating too much will make your stomach stuffy. Almonds can also be used as medicine to relieve coughs and asthma." I love my hometown, and even more I love apricots, a specialty of my hometown.
