    When it comes to sour fruits, many people would think about lemon. Interestingly, have you heard of the "lemon man"? As early as the 18th century, the "lemon man" has been popular in Europe. At that time, the sailors on the voyage wereoften attacked by scurvy. Until the end of the 18th century, a British doctor found that eating lemons can stop scurvy, so it was stipulated that sailors should drink a daily ration of lemon water, as a result, the"lemon man" has become a sailor's pronoun.

    Speaking of lemons, we have to mention Anyue in Sichuan. Anyue is the "lemon capital of China", with lemon planting scale, production and market share accounting for more than 80% of China. The fresh fruits and processed products of Anyue lemon sell well in more than 50 large and medium-sized cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and are exported to more than 30 countries and regions, such as Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and the United Arab Emirates etc.
