This kind of melon was once disgusted by farmers and now earns 20,000 mu as a cash cow.

As the weather is getting hotter and hotter, many fruits are on the market. Speaking of fruits, one kind of fruit is very famous in summer, that is watermelon. Watermelon is very popular among people. It is not only delicious and well-hydrated, but also can relieve summer heat, thirst and fever by eating it in summer. Today, the author found a strange kind of watermelon in a farmland in the village. its skin is all patterned and oval, but it is a bit like cantaloupe. Many friends may have seen it but do not recognize it. This kind of "small watermelon" is Trichosanthes.

For Trichosanthes, the author also asked several friends in the city, they have not heard of it. In fact, the reason is that this kind of watermelon-shaped Trichosanthes is not a kind of fruit, it can not be eaten, so it is rarely seen on the market. And Trichosanthes was not treated by farmers' friends in the past, one is that it cannot be eaten, and the other is that it looks very good-looking, but in fact, it is very ugly inside, and it has been jokingly called "shit melon" by farmers' friends, so you can imagine how ugly it is.

The third is that according to the farmers who planted Trichosanthes in the village, Trichosanthes was still a kind of harmful grass in the past. Trichosanthes appetite climbing plants, and used to be wild, basically unregulated, and Trichosanthes often climb to other trees and crops in order to grow, resulting in poor growth of these trees and crops, so Trichosanthes was once regarded as a kind of harmful grass by farmers, which was disgusted by many farmers.

But now with the discovery of the value of Trichosanthes, it is becoming more and more popular with farmers.

The main reason is that Trichosanthes is full of treasure, its fruit, peel, kernel (seed) and rhizome are all good traditional Chinese medicine, and if used in medicine, it has the effect of clearing away phlegm, wide chest and loose knot, moisturizing and slippery intestine. it can be used to treat lung heat cough, phlegm yellow thick, chest pain, chest fullness, breast carbuncle, lung carbuncle, intestinal carbuncle, constipation and other symptoms. As a result, Trichosanthes is now deeply loved by farmers, and many peasant friends have begun to plant Trichosanthes and rely on it to get rich.

According to the farmer friend Lao Zhao, who planted Trichosanthes, whom the author interviewed, Trichosanthes is a good thing. The planting and management techniques of Trichosanthes are very simple, which is basically the same as growing vegetables and melons in rural areas. They can be planted in spring and autumn every year. Seeds, roots, strips and other propagation methods can be used to propagate. When Trichosanthes is ripe after autumn, it can be harvested. The yield of Trichosanthes per mu is 350 to 400 jin, 30 yuan per kilogram, 280 to 300 jin per mu, 10 yuan per kilogram, in addition to the root and fruit of Trichosanthes, in addition to the cost, basically per mu of Trichosanthes annual income of 20,000 yuan, it is not too much to say that it is a "cash cow".
