In these decades, I have been to many places and have never seen such a good pumpkin.
In Japanese, Chinese means short. Generally, melons, such as cucumber, cantaloupe, loofah, wax gourd, etc. The diameter is smaller than the height of the melon, and the shape is slender. Only the pumpkin with a diameter greater than the height is flat on the ground, which is very stable, short and thick, so it is called pumpkin. As for the name "Wogua", it may come from several melons, such as Nestle, which grew on a seedling of this melon and formed a nest.
In the past, pumpkins were the food of poor people, so they were not allowed to be eaten on the table and were not allowed to be elegant. Now pumpkin has become a very good healthy food. And was included in the "green food" mark commodity range of the Ministry of Agriculture. Pumpkin powder is rich in nutrition and is very popular in the international market. With the deep processing of pumpkin and the development and application of pumpkin powder, pumpkin products are forming an industry.

There are some yellow sand fields in Aihui, Heilongjiang, which are very suitable for planting pumpkins. Pumpkin is a specialty here. Large ones can generally grow to five to eight kilograms. In some places, a plastic bag can hold more than one pumpkin, but Aihui's pumpkin can't be packed in a sack.
Aihui pumpkin is characterized by: 1. Noodles; Second, aging; Third, the meat is thick and the seeds are few. Local pumpkins are squeezed out with fingernails, but they can't be squeezed out or printed. Freshly cooked pumpkins contain very little water, which makes people choke when steamed. A few more sweet days will be better. The old pumpkin had a hard time chopping with a knife.
The appearance colors of pumpkins are mostly gray and red. Melon meat is orange. There are many ways to eat Aihui pumpkin. People often eat soup and steam. Pumpkins are covered with a transparent plastic-like skin, which can be peeled easily after steaming and eaten without peeling. Steamed pumpkin is sweet, noodles. Beijingers say that chestnut-flavored old pumpkins may be exaggerated. In short, it is good food. In recent years, a special stew in Northeast China is very popular. Stewed with pumpkin, beans, green corn and ribs, it is very popular. There are also some restaurants that make pumpkin pies for sale. Cucumber with all kinds of rice and porridge is a common food for farmers. Pumpkins are on the market in autumn, so people should not keep them for a long time and dry them in the sun. Dried pumpkin, with high sugar content, not only keeps for a long time, but also tastes sweeter. It can also be made into soup and porridge, which can be steamed and eaten, and has the taste of some persimmon seeds. Pumpkins are eaten in a variety of ways, which is rare in other foods. Can be used as staple food and non-staple food, and can also be used with various staple foods and non-staple foods. The orange-red color of pumpkin is pure and natural, which is very convenient for coloring all kinds of food, and meets the requirements of Chinese people for food selection, aroma and taste.
Cucumber seeds are very good food, and it is said that they can also be used as medicine. The scientific name is white melon seeds. In the past, Japan occupied the northeast. After the Japanese surrendered and returned to China, they were obsessed with the melon seeds of Aihui, Heilongjiang Province, and named them Aihui melon seeds. In the fifties and sixties of last century, ordinary people were reluctant to eat, and all of them were handed over to the state for export to Japan for exchange. Aihui's white melon seeds are famous high-grade local products in the international market. After the pumpkin is cut open, take out the pulp and squeeze out the seeds to dry. Before the melon seeds are sold dry, a pinch of dry film will fall off the outside of the melon seeds, and the dry film will be blown clean, leaving glittering and translucent melon seeds, which are spotless and loved by everyone.
Pumpkin is a kind of climbing plant. You can grow melons by climbing the fence of the farm house. Aihui people love to eat pumpkins and also grow pumpkins, and the output of pumpkins is also very high. They also created a special food, pumpkin seedlings. Each leaf of the pumpkin seedling gives birth to a fork and a melon. Except for the melon on the main seedling, all other forks should be removed, and the local part is called pinching. The tender part of the removed melon seedlings is peeled off with a thin layer of skin, which becomes a very delicious vegetable, which can be mixed and fried and vegetarian. It is not only nutritious, but also delicious. Suggest that friends have a chance to try. This is really a special food that you can't forget without eating it.
Some people say that pumpkins are all treasures, and I agree with this statement. For example, pumpkin leaves are big and heart-shaped, and some are like lotus leaves. Another specialty in the upper reaches of Heilongjiang, wild persimmon fruit, is packaged with pumpkin leaves when it is sold in the street. This is really green food in green packaging.
There are two kinds of flowers: male flowers and female flowers. The male flowers have a cylindrical stigma, which contains male pollen, and the female flowers have four or five cylindrical stigmas. Artificial pollination is called flower nest locally. The method is as follows: picking male flowers, removing petals, turning the receptacle down, and inserting stamens containing male pollen between several female stigmas to make the male pollen fully contact with the male and female stamens.
Pumpkin flowers is also very good food, and it's cooked delicious and the color is better. There is a small jar of molasses in the male receptacle, which is probably a prize for bees. Since I'm going to pollinate them artificially, I'll drink it all. When I was about ten years old, I would do these jobs in the private plot every morning and taste the sweetness of pumpkin in advance. At that time, the beekeeping industry was still underdeveloped, and it was impossible to sit on a melon without artificial pollination.
Now, we don't pay attention to recalling that painful experience. Pumpkins used to be our life-saving food in the difficult period of three years. At that time, in addition to growing their own pumpkins, they also purchased a ton of pumpkins every autumn to solve the problem of food shortage. I am in such good health now, which may be related to eating a lot of pumpkins at that time, but my skin turned yellow after eating pumpkins at that time. Buying pumpkins and selling the by-product pumpkin seeds to the country can solve part of the cost of buying pumpkins.
Pumpkins have formed a culture. It is said that it originated in the United States, but it is not clear when it was introduced to China. American folk customs, such as carving pumpkins into faces in festivals and pumpkin lanterns, are children's favorites. China sang revolutionary songs "Planting Pumpkins in Jinggangshan" and "Redmi, Pumpkin Soup". Pumpkin can be written into the history of revolution, which has contributed to the revolution in China. There are many reports about the folklore of pumpkins in various places. For example, people in Tianjin and beginning of winter have the custom of eating pumpkins and jiaozi. This kind of pumpkin is bought in summer and stored in a hut or window sill. After a long time of saccharification, dumplings are made. The taste is different from that of Chinese cabbage and pumpkin stuffing in summer. It needs to be dipped in vinegar and garlic to make it taste different. Li of Changling, Jilin knows the market and seizes the early price with science. The income from planting wogua in 0.6 mu of land is 2000 yuan. The 27-mu rubber China planted by Shuangchenglian Xingwang has achieved a bumper harvest, and its income is twice that of corn. How big can pumpkins grow? The reporter saw a huge pumpkin with yellow skin in the market. Measure it. Pumpkin is more than half a meter in diameter and weighs 5 1 kg. Pumpkins are too big for one person to carry, and they are called giants in the pumpkin pile.

Pumpkin is an annual vine herb with white spots on its leaves and pentagonal fruit stalks. Also known as Chinese pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, and rice melon.
Pumpkin originated in Central and South America. Pumpkin has a long history of cultivation in Central America, and it was cultivated in China 600 years ago. Now it is cultivated all over the world, with the largest area in Asia, followed by Europe and South America. According to the shape of the fruit, it is divided into two varieties: round pumpkin and long pumpkin. The article "On the Property of Daliao" also mentioned that since the founding of the People's Republic of China on 9 16, Daliao has four major agricultural areas. There are two agricultural areas and two semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral areas. Two agricultural areas: one is the agricultural area of the former Bohai State in the northeast of Liaoning Province, belonging to Tokyo Road; First, it belongs to the agricultural areas in Yannan and Henan along Nanjing Road and Xijing Road Great Wall. Two semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral areas: one is a semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral area belonging to Shangjing Road, Zhongjing Road, Yellow River in western Liaoning (now Xilamulun River in the upper reaches of Xiliao River) and Tuhe River (now Laoha River); One is a semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral area northwest of Tokyo Road and Shangjing Road. Pumpkin was one of the main agricultural products at that time. Pumpkin is called pumpkin by local people, also called pumpkin. The melons are strong, round and vertical, and the colors are yellow, black and green. At that time, people called yellow pumpkins and black and green pumpkins. In fact, the species in a garden are different, and farmers are not strong enough to distinguish them. However, at that time, southerners called it Beigua because it came from the north. Later, pumpkins were widely planted in the south, and because of climate and geological reasons, the taste of pumpkins was unique compared with that of the north, and it was relatively easier to grow. Therefore, people also call it pumpkin.
Therefore, it can be judged that pumpkin and pumpkin are actually the products of the same species in different regions and different climatic conditions, and they are actually the same kind of melon. Item 38 of People's Republic of China (PRC) national standard vegetable name GB8854-88 says: pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, Chinese pumpkin. This can also be verified.
