Gen (gen) melon, the habitual name of the villagers, is also called vegetable melon. It can be fried, chilled, pickled, or eaten raw, but it is not delicious at all because it does not have a little sweetness. The people here eat cold salad, put some nepeta and minced garlic, it is crisp and refreshing, but also greasy, and men like to drink it as a drink. In our small restaurant here, gen melon mixed with nepeta is as popular as cucumber mixed with egg!
Gen (gen) melon is sweet and cold, and its flesh is sweet. It is an excellent summer heat-relief vegetable. It is rich in minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and iron. It also contains sugar, citric acid and a small amount of provitamin A and B vitamins. Vitamin C and so on. In the hot summer season, it is most suitable to be eaten with vegetable salad.
Many people don’t know this dish, and our ancestors called Gengua for generations. Many people don’t know how to write it, let alone what its scientific name is. They only know that they can be used for cooking, and they will be planted in the crops of every household. A few, in the early summer of every year, the genus melons, melons, melons, and noodle melons are all mature. If you are tired and thirsty at work, you will pick melons, melons, and noodle melons to eat. In my memory, the melons at that time White and white, ripe and even cracked, the flesh is rusty and very sweet; the crisp melon is the croissant, the taste is completely opposite to the gen melon, crispy is not good; the noodle melon is the favorite of the elderly and children, and its aroma Intoxicating, fleshy noodles, most suitable for people with bad teeth...

These are rare things now, and there are not many in the countryside, especially the gen melon. I haven’t seen it in my hometown in recent years. Nowadays, the price of the gen melon in the vegetable market in the city is about the same as the price of the fruit. Chung, when I mentioned the things in the past crops, my parents couldn't help but sigh with emotion. They kept talking about the taste of the food in the past, but now, I can't find that feeling again! This plate of food served with wine, my father had a good taste, a sip of wine, a sip of gen melon vegetables, and those deep memories of the past, he slowly lost his stomach...
