We have never heard that pumpkin buds can be eaten in our village before, and the restaurants in the village still cook home-cooked dishes according to the rules. Then one day, tourists from the south saw our popular dishes when they ordered food at the hotel. Southern tourists frowned slightly and asked the proprietress in broken Mandarin: Do you have pumpkin seedlings?

The proprietress of the hotel is my niece, and the niece looks puzzled: What do you want pumpkin seedlings for? There are many gardens outside.

What southern tourists have heard is that his little eyes lit up in an instant: you pick some, fry the minced garlic and eat it. Now is a good time to get down to business.

Therefore, the proprietress of the hotel only understands what it means when the southern tourists talk and gesture. It turns out that pumpkin seeds are very popular in the hometown of southern tourists. Every year at this season, some pumpkin seeds are picked and fried.

My niece took the waiter back to her garden to pick pumpkin buds, and her mother-in-law was weeding in the garden. When she saw her daughter-in-law picking the growing pumpkin buds, she was heartbroken: Daughter-in-law, if this heart is picked, how many pumpkins will be lost if the pumpkin vines stop climbing in the future?

Before my niece could answer, an old lady in the neighbor's garden said, pumpkin vines have climbed almost three meters, so there is no need to climb such long vines. Now, if you take off the heart buds, many lateral buds will grow in a few days. If you want to cook, you can pick the heart buds of the side buds at that time, so as not to delay the growth of pumpkins. How many pumpkins can grow on the pumpkin vine within two meters?

That day, my niece picked enough pumpkin buds to cook two dishes. During the production process, local diners saw it and asked for another inventory. The result is delicious, which is different from our northerners' home cooking. I thought it was very good, so from that day on, the hotel added new pumpkin sprouts.

Later, my niece planted a lot of pumpkins in the garden every year. She planted them in the corner of the field just to pick pumpkin buds and harvest a lot of pumpkins in autumn. Baked pumpkin with egg yolk is the favorite dish of female hotel customers.

Therefore, when picking pumpkin buds, you must wait for the pumpkin vines to climb up and stretch out for two or three meters before picking its heart buds, so as not to delay the results. If you don't trust, let the pumpkin vines grow longer.
