In southern China, plums become ripe in May and June. In the Three Kingdoms period, statements referring to these plums were everywhere, for example, "commenting on a hero while warming the plum wine" and "thirst quenched by looking for plums". Therefore, these plums have a unique cultural connotation. Green plums are rich in nutrients and are beneficial to the human body. However, mostly fresh plums taste sour and bitter, and so many people choose to boil them or turn them into wine. Imagine two people sitting opposite each other, with a bottle of plum wine between them. What fun!
