How to make the picked gourd not rot?

In order to ensure that the gourd is not moldy and rotten, attention should be paid to all aspects of picking, peeling, post-processing and maintenance: \ x0d \ x0d \ 1 About picking the gourd, it is better to pick it late than early under the condition of ensuring the normal growth of the gourd, so I believe many people will recite the solar terms. Picking the gourd between the cold dew and the first frost, that is, the "autumn dew, autumn cold and first frost" in the solar term Song Dynasty is the best time to pick it from 8: 00 to 23: 00 every year from 10. The gourd vine has naturally dried up (remember, it is naturally dried up, not a dead vine). At this time, you can pick fruits. Gourd vines are very strong. You should use scissors to cut, bring more vines, and make sure to trim the faucet in the future. At this point, the gourd is bluish white. The above is about picking gourds. Let's talk about the most critical step of the gourd, \ x0d \ x0d \ 2 peeling. There are different opinions on the methods of peeling. The correct way is to peel with a bamboo knife, that is, to trim off one third of the bamboo pieces. Pay attention to the details of navel and gourd mouth when peeling. After peeling, the most critical step is to wash the gourd with clear water. When peeling, you will find something sticky on the bamboo knife. If you don't wash it, it will appear after the skin is dry. After cleaning, dry the suspension in the shade. When drying the gourd in the shade, make sure that there is a gap between the gourd and the gourd to facilitate ventilation. Usually it's done in a month. \ \x0d\\x0d\ 3 There are four most important production links in the post-processing of gourd. First, scrape the skin in time. After picking the gourd and opening the mold, scrape the skin in time. The skin of the gourd has wax to ensure moisture, so it is difficult to dry the gourd without scraping the skin. After picking, the gourd contains a lot of water, and if it is not dried quickly, it is easy to mold and rot. Scraping skin is a very professional skill. Scrape evenly, properly and skillfully, and don't scratch the endothelium and xylem of the gourd. The second is to remove the pulp. The pulp of gourd has a high water content, and it is most prone to mildew and rot. After picking the gourd, remove the pulp in time, put it in the pool for 5-7 days, take out the pulp after fermentation, and dry it in time. Third, painting, gourd painting has five processing techniques: pinching flowers, scalding flowers, carving, painting and modeling. Pinching flowers is a unique skill of China. Pinch concave lines on the surface of the gourd with a pinch knife, but the surface of the gourd cannot be pinched. Its processing technology is unique and unique, and its expression is quaint and vivid, which is suitable for hand-held play. Hot stamping is a common processing technology, similar to bamboo and wood hot stamping technology. Burning black lines and patterns on the surface of gourd with electric soldering iron shows more ink painting styles, which is suitable for display and appreciation. Sculpture and painting are traditional processing techniques. Take the gourd as the creative carrier and carve various pictures on the gourd. There are many paintings, and all kinds of people, animals, flowers, birds, fish and insects, landscapes and landscapes can be painted. The fourth is to make a cover with a notch. After painting and processing, the gourd will finally be made into a mosaic. Gourd, as a craft ornamental vessel, should have a beautiful inlay and cover, generally with ivory mouth, jade mouth, gold and silver mouth and so on. , but also with copper, mahogany, resin, plastic and other general materials. The material of the lid is similar to that of the mouth, but the exquisite design of the lid should match and coordinate with the grade and style of the gourd itself, so that the style of the gourd is integrated and has the exquisite finishing touch. Gourd plays with skin, so there are five things you can't bring when you buy a gourd: first, white skin is not desirable; Second, coloring is not desirable; Third, thin skin is not desirable; Fourth, it is not appropriate to have skin disability; Fifth, it is not advisable to roll your eyes. Playing with gourd's "six no dishes": "The first is that the new gourd doesn't eat; Second, don't dish gourd in summer; The third is not to wash your hands and gourd; The fourth is that the gourd without cover has no cover; The fifth is to be an old gourd. \x0d\\x0d\ 4 The best way to maintain Wan Wen gourd is to rub walnut oil or olive oil, just a thin layer, and wipe it with a soft cloth. Never hurt your skin, and then rub it with your hands often.
