I kou manaʻo, aia kekahi pūʻolo kini hou i "hoʻopūʻiwa" iā ʻoe?

I ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, ua ʻike mālie ka poʻe i ka maikaʻi o ka meaʻai i loko o ka pahu, a ua ukali ʻia e ke koi no ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana a me nā hanauna ʻōpio kekahi ma hope o kekahi.

E lawe i ka ʻiʻo awakea i loko o ka pahu i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma ke ʻano he laʻana, ʻaʻole pono nā mea kūʻai aku i ka ʻono maikaʻi wale nō akā he mea nani a pilikino hoʻi.

Pono kēia i nā mea hana e noʻonoʻo mau ma ke kumu o ka hōʻoia ʻana i ka maikaʻi a me ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka hana hou o ka hoʻopili ʻana.

Hōʻike ka hoʻolālā hoʻopili hou i nā manaʻo o ka mea hana a hoʻonui i ka makemake o ka poʻe ʻōpio e kūʻai.

I kou manaʻo, aia kekahi pūʻolo kini hou i "hoʻopūʻiwa" iā ʻoe?

I koʻu wā kamaliʻi, i nā manawa a pau aʻu e loaʻa ai ke anu a me ke kuni, e hele aku koʻu kupuna kāne ma luna o kāna paikikala. I loko o kekahi mau minuke, e lawe mai ʻo ia i kaʻu kini loquat punahele.

Ma Minnan, kahi i nui ai ka loquat, he mea maʻamau ka loquat i loko o nā pahu i nā hale kūʻai.

Me ke kani ʻana o "Yi La", ua hāmama ka waha o ka pahu, e hōʻike ana i kahi loquat aniani. E paʻa ana au i kahi puna hao ma ka ʻaoʻao o kuʻu waha.

ʻO ka loquat, ka mea i hoʻomaʻū ʻia e ka wai kō, ua wehe i ka ʻono ʻawaʻawa a me ka astringent. He ʻono a he ʻala. Hoʻokahi waha, he sopa anuanu e holo ana ma ka puʻu, ua hala ka maʻi anu i ka hapalua.

Ma hope mai, i koʻu hele ʻana i ke kulanui, ua ʻike au he ʻano lāʻau anu like ko ka poʻe ma laila, akā ua pani ʻia nā loquats i loko me ka peach melemele, Sydney, ʻalani, a me ka paina

I ka wā ma mua, ʻo ka ʻoluʻolu maikaʻi loa o ka maʻi, ʻo ia ka ʻai ʻana i ka meaʻai i loko o ka pahu.

E ho'ōla ke kini i nā ma'i a pau.

I ka wā ma mua, ʻaʻohe keiki i hiki ke pale aku i ka hoʻowalewale ʻana o nā hua i loko o ka pahu

Aia kekahi kuʻuna ma ka hema o Fujian, kahi e mālama ʻia ai kēlā me kēia ʻahaʻaina, ʻo ka mea hope loa e pau ai, ʻo ia ka sopa ʻono o nā hua i loko o ka pahu. Ke ʻai mālie nā kānaka a pau i ka ʻāpana hua hope loa i loko o ke pola, a laila inu i ka sopa a hiki i ka kulu hope loa, e manaʻo ʻia ua pau ka ʻahaʻaina.

I nā makahiki 1980 a me 1990, ʻaʻohe palena o nā hiʻohiʻona o nā hua i hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o ka pahu. Ma waho aʻe o ka ʻike nui ʻana i ka hopena o ka ʻahaʻaina, e kipa aku i nā ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha, e hōʻike i ke kaumaha no ka maʻi, e lawe mai i ʻelua mau kini o nā kini hua i hana maikaʻi ʻia, e nānā pono a ʻoiaʻiʻo hoʻi.

Aia nā ʻano huaʻai i loko o ka pahu like ʻole, i kaulana loa ma nā wahi like ʻole.

No nā keiki, ʻo nā hua i loko o ka pahu he mea leʻaleʻa pālua ia no ka ʻike a me ka ʻono.

Aia i loko nā ʻōmole aniani poepoe me nā hua o nā kala like ʻole, me nā pears, carambola, hawthorn a me bayberry. ʻO ka ʻalani ka mea hoihoi loa.

ʻO nā petals pulp ʻalani liʻiliʻi, he pūnana "akamai" i loko o ka ʻōmole, ʻike maopopo ʻia nā ʻāpana wai a momona, he nānā aku ka mālamalama, he ʻono i ka puʻuwai.

E like me ka pēpē, e paʻa i kēia ʻōmole "ʻalani" ma ka poho lima o kou lima, e ʻōʻō mālie i waho, e ʻono mālie, a e ʻono mālie. No nā keiki a pau i ulu aʻe i kēlā au kēlā mau hoʻomanaʻo ʻono.
