When will Wan Wen gourd be picked?

In the case of ensuring the normal growth of the gourd, it is better to pick the gourd late than early, 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. Then some friends will ask, how to operate it specifically, have the vines or leaves of the gourd changed? Well, at this time, the gourd vine has naturally dried up (remember, it is naturally dried up, not dead vines). You can pick fruits at this time. These gourd vines are very strong. You should cut them with scissors and bring more vines. This is to ensure that the faucet will be trimmed in the future, so the gourd is blue and white at this time.

2. After picking

If there is no pudendal skin, it will be placed in a cool and ventilated place for about 3 days to a week. (The purpose is to make it slightly lignified)

3. Peeling (the green peel on the surface of the gourd must be scraped off)

Tools: bamboo, knife back, steel ruler.

1) When peeling, the mucosa and epidermis must be scraped off together, otherwise there will be thin black marks after drying, which will be difficult to remove in the future.

2) When peeling, each stroke should be arranged densely and vertically, and it is best not to cross. get angry

Heheng There will be a problem of different colors after the interval.

3) After peeling, wash it carefully with iron flower (for washing dishes) in clear water, and then take it out and wash it with clear water.

4) that is, air drying, using agate knife to cover drums of different sizes on the gourd (because the density is different when cells grow).

Point it out. At the same time, you can see that the gourd skin is bright. (This step is optional. )

4. After the fight

Dry in a cool and ventilated place. You can also bask in the sun properly and change direction frequently to avoid color cast. After 3 to 5 days, pick up the gourd.

Hit, hit, shake, shake harder. Slowly, I can hear the gourd seeds ringing. At this time, it is basically done, and we will continue to work for a few days.

Just wait until it's completely dry.
