human vegetation series-fried in August
fried in August, as the name implies, is a kind of fruit that can only ripen and burst in August. This August is about the lunar calendar.
I remember when I was a child, every time when the school started on September 1st, someone would take the fried food in August to school as a snack, and my mouth was watering. It turns out that people live in deep mountains, while my family lives in shallow mountains. Either they have cows at home, because people with cows go into the mountains every day, and they have a chance to encounter August bombing.
My grandmother's home is in the deep mountains of Huanglong, where August bombs are everywhere. People in my grandmother's village named August Fried Water Melon, probably because it tastes watery, not because it grows in water. Some people call him August melon, probably because it looks like a melon. It has long vines, like wild vines, and likes to climb other big trees by taking advantage of the situation. Therefore, if you are lucky enough to see the August bombing in the mountains, if you can't climb trees, or if you don't have the courage to take risks to pick delicious food in the sky, you are also counted as a person who has no luck to eat.
When fried in August, it will automatically crack, revealing the white flesh inside, just like a doll's white teeth when she smiles. It's just that there is very little pulp fried in August, but the white pulp is wrapped in a pile of black seeds, which are as dense as pearls in milk tea and tightly adhere to the pulp to ensure that you won't eat delicious pulp smoothly. This may be the ingenuity of nature. The more delicious things are, the harder it is for you to enjoy them!
think about it. First of all, it grows in the dense forest deep in the mountains, so people who are timid dare not go, short people can't reach it, and people who can't climb trees can't eat it. Secondly, it matures at the end of August in the lunar calendar. Generally, only children are greedy and like to eat some wild fruits. However, at the end of August in the lunar calendar, in general, it is September in the solar calendar. Children either do their summer homework hastily (when they are young, as long as they have a summer vacation, they become wild children, and they don't care about their families at both ends, playing in darkness, and they won't touch their summer homework until the last moment), or they have already carried their schoolbags. Thirdly, although it is delicious, it has very little pulp and many seeds, which makes people gnash their teeth and wonder how such a delicious thing can bear so many seeds. If only there were no seeds! How delicious it tastes! It happened that the bombing in August didn't kill pomegranate, but it got pomegranate disease-multi-seed. Do you think this sentence is a two-part allegorical saying? Wrong! This is a sentence I made myself. It's just a mockery of the August bombing. Who made it so delicious, but it was covered with seeds and no meat! A fist-sized fried in August, the pulp inside is actually not enough for me to plug my teeth. You say it's irritating. Forget it. If it's a big deal, don't eat it. Why bother with a melon egg?
immature fried in August, green skin, hard as a stone, can't be broken, it's really a melon egg, and it's too hard to get through. However, in case you pick a half-baked August fry, don't be discouraged. Take it home and put it in the wheat cupboard. In a few days, you can "sit back and enjoy it". When it matures, it changes clothes, and its thick skin turns brown (however, I have also seen orange, pink, rose and purple fried in August, so it is estimated that the region is different). The oval belly naturally cracks a crack in the middle, and as time goes on, it slowly opens its big mouth, just like eating people. No, it's only eaten. People can't eat it, and the small animals in the mountains won't let it go. I have seen small squirrels crawling on the vines fried in August and eating it with relish.
what is the smell of fried in August, which is so tempting to me? Strange to say, it is a bit like a banana and a bit like a durian. After I arrived in the Philippines, I realized that it tasted a bit like litchi with thorn fruit, except that our fried in August evolved without thorns and could naturally crack.
When I was young, children in the mountains didn't have snacks to eat, so they naturally relied on mountains to eat, such as peaches, Xinger, plums, hawthorn, walnuts, persimmons, etc., and they couldn't wait until they were mature. So delicious fried in August is naturally a rarity in children's mouths, and everyone wants to seize the opportunity to eat their fill. But this opportunity hasn't come yet. The cowherd has now become a middle-aged greasy uncle far away from home. I wonder if I remember the August bombing I climbed in the past, or if I am a "wild doll"?
In August this year, I saw a picture of an August bombing posted by someone in my circle of friends and asked, "Who knows what kind of fruit this is?" He was surprised when I left a message "bombing in August". Nowadays, the August bombing seems to have been forgotten by people, but it carries the good times of my childhood and keeps me innocent and hopeful in the hard years. It also taught me that when there is no success, we should be humble, low-key, study hard and practice hard, and be tenacious like a stone. "Kung Fu is home". When the time is ripe, you will succeed naturally. Smile!
