August bombing

The common name is also called Cucumis melo, which belongs to Akebiaceae and Akebia trifoliata. Shengrenjian, Sanmen, Podi, Caochuan and other towns in our county are all produced on the mountains in the north. It has the reputation of "Mountain Banana" in Zhongtiao Mountain. Fried in August is a perennial vine, which often wraps around other branches. Every year in late April and early May, dark purple flowers bloom, and small melons appear gray-green. By mid-September, the sunny slopes first mature and then the shady slopes gradually mature, each weighing 250-500 grams. When it is immature, each cool one hangs on the branches like a crescent moon, and once it matures, it opens along the back. Because it matured around the middle of August in the lunar calendar, it opened its mouth, and the locals called it "August bombing." Mature fried in August is very delicious. Its sweetness is like honey, but it tastes sweeter than honey. Its pulp is like zonggao, but it is delicious and smooth than zonggao. When eating, you can't munch on it, because black seeds are bitter, like toothless children or the elderly, they suck and eat, and the taste is very delicious. Fried in August can be planted artificially, and after improvement and cultivation, it can form a unique and famous product of Pinglu.
