Autumn wind and autumn rain are strong in autumn, and the sky and the bottom of the sky are cool.
Summer goes and autumn comes, with autumn rain and cold. Going to the door in the morning, wearing long-sleeved clothes is no longer good, cold goose bumps straight up, I have to wear a jacket, I feel that the late autumn of this year is very early. Look at the corners and corners of the community, where the aunts are tanning red peppers, ready to eat in winter. Some aunts have started to buy winter melons, and they are drying them in the community, saying that they can stew pork ribs in winter. In fact, winter melon is also good to eat in autumn. Winter melon has the function of moisturizing the lungs, promoting body fluid and quenching thirst. When making braised pork in autumn, I like to add some winter melon in it. I feel that winter melon is better than braised pork, so winter melon is faster to eat than braised pork. Every time I make my daughter, I eat the winter melon first, and then eat the meat. She also said that there will be less winter melon, and I must put more of it next time. A relative didn’t see clearly that it was winter melon. He thought it was all braised pork, and still sighed. We ate so much meat. We knew it was winter melon, and admired me, and sighed that I made winter melon into braised pork!
