Diary hometown Camellia oleifera flower 100 words

My hometown is located in the hilly area of the south of the Yangtze River. In this fiery land, there are mountains and plains.

Camellia oleifera is planted on the ground. In my memory, it was my childhood paradise. Every spring, tea trees begin to put on a new green makeup. When you look up, you will see something blue, red and white hanging on the tea tree, that is, tea fruit. The green and red ones are very astringent. They are raw and can't be eaten. When the pulp inside expands and the epidermis breaks and turns white, it is cooked. Pick one and bite it. It's sweet and has a faint fragrance. Looking down, you will find palm-sized, glittering and translucent fleshy fragments on the twigs under the tree. That's camellia oleifera. In fact, it is formed by the weathering of young leaves of tea trees, and its taste is better than that of tea fruits. When we herd cattle or come back from school, we often make those tea fruits and camellia oleifera. If you are full, you can save your meal. We also wore a few long bamboo branches in the trophy and returned home in triumph with iodine in our bellies. Naturally, our parents, brothers and sisters also enjoyed the luck of eating.

In late spring and early summer, Camellia oleifera flowers are in full bloom all over the mountains, one by one, white and brilliant, and they are connected with the white clouds in the sky, and they can't tell whether they are clouds or flowers. Camellia oleifera petals are white, stamens are pale yellow, and there is a bean-sized nectar in the flower core. At that time, I was still in primary school, and several of our friends walked under the oil tea tree every day after school. Smelling the intoxicating fragrance of camellia, I couldn't help breaking a small bamboo branch and sucking it at the flower core. Nectar is so sweet and refreshing. This is a gift from heaven. Especially in that era of lack of clothes and food, such a sweet feeling has never been forgotten.

Tea tree is an evergreen tree, and its tea seeds can be used to extract oil. At that time, there were many tea mountains in our village, and all the oil produced was handed over to the state. The average weight of each person exceeds 100 kg, which is rare in the past hundred miles. At that time, my father was the production team leader, and was rushed to the province by the provincial government to open a table obstacle meeting. He also awarded an oil press to the village! I remember that there were several large oil tanks at home that were more than one person high. In addition to the whole family's food for one year, sometimes some of them are sold to subsidize the family, and the rest are given to relatives and friends. At that time, many relatives cooked without oil, so it was a great thing to get some tea oil. In fact, tea oil is still a precious original ecological vegetable oil. But now there is less and less tea oil, and the tea mountains in my hometown have become factories.

How many times have I dreamed of going home and wandering in the white ocean of camellia oleifera flowers? I really miss the camellia in my hometown!
