Once on a weekend to go to the countryside to climb the mountain, there are a few poles on the side of the road, hanging on top of a loofah, there are yellow flowers on it, it looks really very pleasing, really want to take it off and take it for yourself, but of course just think about it, the loofah in the vegetable market is many and cheap, usually blind, only the loofah hanging on the vine looks particularly cute.
It is early summer, loofahs are still tender, to the end of summer if you go to the countryside, you will see a long and thick loofah knot on the vine not to pick down to eat, that is to keep the seeds; some will also let it old, directly dried, called Tianluo line, can be used to wash dishes to grease, commonly used when childhood, now not much to see.
