Watermelon is the main fruit in summer. If you haven't eaten in summer, it's simply an incomplete summer!
But buying watermelon is a technical activity, mainly relying on a pair of eyes;
Then let the fruit stall VIP customers ~ ~ coffee brother teach a set of Baolong killing skills!
Core points: look, touch, weigh, listen and taste. First, look at the varieties and distinguish the planting areas. In fact, the quality of a watermelon is fundamentally determined by genes;
Common varieties: black beauty, 8424, selenium sand melon, unicorn melon, etc. Take the unicorn melon as an example, it is generally small, sweet and crisp, and there is little mortar.
Secondly, watermelons planted in the mountains are sweeter than those planted in the plains.
According to the origin, Shandong melons are moderate in size and slightly more in sand melons; Watermelons in Beijing and Hebei are crispy.
But when it comes to the secret of watermelon picking, you see: "Xiao Juan is riding a donkey".
Small: The smaller the belly button, the thinner the skin, especially those with full depressions around them, mostly ripe melons.
There is also a saying of "dividing men and women" on the Internet. The so-called albert nobbs is to look at the navel of watermelon. The big navel is male and the small navel is female. The mother's is sweeter and more delicious.
"Roll" (roll): The roll of the pedicel is sweet, and the green oil of the melon vine also contains water, so it means fresh watermelon.
That watermelon vine is black and dry, and it has been picked for a long time! !
"Riding" (Qi): The melon lines are neat, and the good watermelon skin lines are thick and clear, with distinct shades and bright luster;
"Donkey" (green): The skin is bluish green, the lines are clear and tidy, and the gap is thin, which is like a watermelon covered with a foggy film. The quality is better and it is easier to have mortar.
Of course, you can also look at the vines. If it is dry, it proves that this watermelon is naturally mature and can be bought. If it is green, it is mostly 5-6 ripe, and the water is not sweet.
Second, listen to the melon (touch, stand and listen). In the melon box, pick up one and ask it quietly, "Are you sweet?"
This is the trick of practicing melon: put your fingers together and pat the palm of your hand, and pat the belly of a watermelon. The biggest and roundest place basically sounds like "boom, boom, boom" or "boom, boom", which is thick and deep, like patting a child's chest, and it is a good melon;
And "poof, poof" is too much; "Dadada, Dadada" is like playing drums, but it is a raw melon.
"By tapping the sound produced by watermelon to judge whether watermelon is mature, we use the vibration principle of sound. Mature melons are full of water and have low vibration frequency. The lower the frequency, the deeper the sound. The higher the frequency, the clearer the sound!
This technical activity mainly depends on "percussion+auscultation".
Third, taste (try to eat) Let the melon seller cut the knife in the shade where the sun can't shine, and draw a small triangle to see if the skin is thick or thin. This dialect is also called "under the mat".
Of course, if you are alert, you can sell half, or you can sell half if you cut it. I'll believe that when I see it.
Finally, will you choose a delicious watermelon now? May the good melon you choose be as sweet as first love! !
