This is an ordinary snack or a pre-dinner snack, but it is indeed a bit unusual for me, because bitter gourd is a fruit obtained through my own efforts, from buying seeds, growing seedlings, transplanting seeds, and pouring them. Water fertilization, weeding, and scaffolding must be blood (blood donated to mosquitoes) and sweat. Let’s talk about this kind of bitter gourd. It’s called big top bitter gourd. The top and bottom are narrow. The Cantonese is called Lei Gong Chi, which is lazy and crisp. The seeds are also quite different. Black. I received two yesterday. I was so happy, haha, I finally got a little bit of gain. My heartache is that there has been a lot of rain recently. Some of them are hiding in the middle of the leaves. I didn’t see them. They became ripe and rotten. Fortunately, Take out the seeds, wash them and dry them and plant them next year. For those bitter gourds that are a bit ripe, slice them and dry them to make bitter gourd tea. "
