Chapter 1038 The Maximum Value of Watermelon (for Subscription)
"And when the origin of the varieties is the same, choosing those that are lighter can guarantee that you will pick sweet watermelons."

"Of course, the lighter the better, if the weight of the watermelon is too light, it may mean that the melon is overripe. Such a watermelon will be greatly reduced in terms of taste and flavor."

"Another thing to pay attention to when buying watermelons is that when the watermelon is ripe, the color of the watermelon and the part that touches the ground should be yellow or orange, not white. If it is white, the watermelon is probably not ripe."

"If the leather feels soft, it's better not to sell it."

While talking, Li Yuan was not idle at all, he picked up a piece of watermelon again, the cool watermelon, every bite into his stomach, it seemed that even the scorching heat of this summer had dropped a bit.

Li Yuan gnawed on the watermelon, but he didn't mind that the juice of the watermelon fell on his hands. A piece of watermelon would be eaten up by Li Yuan in four or five mouthfuls.

But Li Yuan gnawed the watermelon very cleanly, and he didn't stop until he couldn't see a little bit of red flesh on the watermelon skin.

Although the taste of the watermelon near the skin was very bland, Li Yuanhao still ate all of them without exception.

Studio.

"The anchor ate the watermelon so cleanly?"

"Hey, this is the first time I've seen people who eat watermelon so cleanly, especially young people."

"Yeah, isn't it usually the elderly's operation to gnaw on the skin?"

"Anchor, are you too thin?"

"This watermelon rind has no smell at all, even if we are poor, we shouldn't be like this, right?"

"I asked curiously, isn't this watermelon rind bitter?"

"It looks like you people have never lived in poverty. You can eat watermelon rinds, and you can make dumplings! And some old people say that eating like this is a blessing!"

"Yes, my grandma saw me eating watermelon and throwing it red, and said I was unlucky!"

"What? Can watermelon rind make dumplings?"

Li Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Of course I can. The watermelon rind can be used to make dumplings, mix with cold dishes, and make soup. Although the watermelon rind is not as sweet as the watermelon yang, the taste is very fragrant and the nutritional value is not inferior to the watermelon yang."

"And in the past, this watermelon was a rare fruit, so it is natural to give full play to its maximum value when eating."

Studio.

"What the anchor said... isn't it a bit exaggerated?"

"Yeah, I don't believe that watermelon rind is edible either."

"I don't believe it, how do you eat this watermelon rind? Does it taste good?"

"I used to eat it because I was poor, right? Now that there is so much food, does anyone still eat this watermelon rind?"

"Let's not talk about the watermelon rind now, even if it's a watermelon, some people only eat the small part in the middle, and throw away the rest!"

When Li Yuan heard this, he quite agreed.

Indeed, there are many kinds of fruits now, just this watermelon, and there are many different varieties. There are more choices, so naturally they are not as cherished as before.

And maybe there are many people who haven't paid attention to this problem at all. They just subconsciously eat watermelon and throw it away when it's not sweet.

But in fact, for watermelon, watermelon rind is even more effective than watermelon rinsing, but this effect does not only refer to supplementing vitamin C and water, but some special medicinal effects.

Watermelon rind is actually a kind of food with the same origin of medicine and food, and the smelt of watermelon is the smelt, and the skin is the skin, and the two effects are not mixed with each other.

One of the more well-known medicinal uses of watermelon rind is to treat toothache.

That's right, a toothache.

Li Yuan once wondered, how could this little watermelon cure toothache?If it really works, why don't I just eat watermelon?
It wasn't until Li Yuan used an analgesic prescribed by a well-known old Chinese doctor in the village at that time that he realized that it was true.

Dried watermelon rind, add a small amount of borneol, apply this watermelon rind on the toothache like brushing teeth, within 3 minutes, the toothache will be effectively relieved.

In addition, this watermelon rind can also treat coughs due to dry itching.

However, at this time, the watermelon skin is not eaten directly, but the green skin of the watermelon needs to be removed, cut into small pieces and then stewed in water. Knowing that the stew is soft and rotten, eat the water and melon together in cold temperature. Its therapeutic effect The effect of washing is not inferior to those big-name throat lozenges.

And this kind of soup made of watermelon rind has a good effect of clearing fire and preventing heatstroke.

Especially in such a hot summer, it is not a waste to drink the water stewed in the watermelon rind after eating the watermelon to relieve the heat.

Of course, you can also put a small amount of rock sugar and honey in the water and store it in the refrigerator for consumption, which is also a secret to whitening skin.

In addition, watermelon rind has many functions such as repairing sunburned skin, treating constipation, removing prickly heat, and lowering blood pressure.

Compared with the delicious taste of watermelon, the medicinal value of watermelon rind is more.It's just that very few people eat watermelon rind now, and even if most of them want to eat it, they will dislike the trouble of making it and give up.

If I really have a headache and brain fever, I am more willing to go to the hospital to see a doctor, so this kind of folk prescriptions are becoming less and less.

And now I can still eat watermelon rind...

I am afraid that apart from the special medicinal use, it is some old people who are 80 to [-] years old.

Li Yuan looked at the watermelon rind left on the table, and suddenly came up with the idea of ​​making a watermelon rind dish as well.

Li Yuan: "How about this, don't you believe that watermelon rinds are edible? Then let's make a cold dish with this watermelon rind at noon today."

As he said, Li Yuan really collected all the watermelon rinds he ate just now, and brought them to the kitchen.

Although the watermelon rind had already been chewed, it was his own saliva after all, so Li Yuan didn't mind that much.However, the watermelon was eaten too cleanly, so it was not enough for cold dishes.

Li Yuan took out a kitchen knife, and simply cut off the white part of the other two halves of the watermelon, and by the way, removed the green part of the rind of the watermelon with a scraper.

After cutting it, Li Yuan sprinkled some salt on the watermelon rind for later use, and then covered it with plastic wrap and stored it. In that way, he actually wanted to use the watermelon rind for cooking.

Returning to the gazebo again, Li Yuan, who had gnawed almost half of the watermelon, only felt unusually satisfied at this moment, picked up the Fucha that he rushed away before, and took a big sip.

Fragrant, thirst-quenching, with the aroma of tea and mint, this tea is quite in line with Li Yuan's appetite.

A large pot of Fucha entered his stomach, and Li Yuan really lost his sweat.
