Indian hemp (qǐng?má)

We call it "hemp," and when I was a kid, I used to peel open the tender fruits of the Indian hemp and eat the white seeds inside, though it wasn't exactly a delicacy. But outside the crazy play for a long time (usually elders will say "wolf scurrying"), it is inevitable that the mouth will feel widowed, so the hands of the "wild", casually get some chewing, anyway, idle is also idle; in addition, the yellow flowers of the Indian hemp is also edible. We are more naughty children, but also often take the abutilon to play a bully - waving cotton acacia (scientific name "purple acacia") strips, the tip of the abutilon chipped down, making a mess of the abutilon bush. With the cotton acacia strips whistling past, looking at the tip of the Indian hemp decadent fall, there will be a kind of inexplicable excitement, boys often in the destruction of the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. When some old women made sauce, they would also pick a few leaves of the best shaped abutilon leaves to cover the sauce and allow it to ferment. As it is rich in fiber (the skin of the Abutilon) after being put in the pond for a while, the skin is peeled off and can be used as rope.
