When should I scrape the skin after picking the gourd?
Don't peel the gourd immediately after picking it. The water content of gourd is too high, and it is easy to wrinkle when peeled immediately, commonly known as "smoking". You can hang it in the shade to dry first, and then peel it after the skin turns yellow and the weight of the gourd becomes obviously lighter. If you find that the gourd begins to have spots, don't put it away. You must peel it off at once.

The gourd itself plays for a long time, and the color will gradually change from yellow to red, from red to purple, bright and moist. The value of this colorful gourd is definitely much higher than that of ordinary gourd. Therefore, some merchants are mystifying themselves in order to make profits.

Judging from the coloring degree of each part of the gourd, the colors of each part of the naturally discolored gourd are not exactly the same. Generally, the more you play, the more you touch, the darker the color, and vice versa. Because of frequent friction, the convex part of the male text is much darker than other parts. Artificially colored gourds are the opposite in this respect; The greater the friction, the lighter the color, but the deeper the depression.
