Is there such a name as "Luohan Bean"?

That is, broad beans, also known as Hutou, Buddha beans, Japanese beans, and Shaoxing people call them Luohan beans. There is also the name "bava beans" in Shaoxing, but that refers to peas with pods much smaller than monk beans.

Mangosteen accounts for a large proportion of winter crops in Shaoxing's rural areas. Apart from wheat and rapeseed, mangosteen is the most popular. It is planted on entire acres, and is also interplanted with other crops. Because they are widely grown, harvesting and eating monk beans has become an important part of Shaoxing farmers’ life. Around the beginning of summer in the lunar calendar, the mangosteen beans that have spent the winter are mature and strong. At this time, they are picked with dew, the pods are peeled, the emerald-like beans are taken out, and the beans are mixed with water and put into the pot. After they are cooked, they are sprinkled with salt. The food is extremely sweet. This is called eating fresh food. Monk beans. Because fresh mangosteen is extremely sweet, farmers often give it to relatives living in the city.

If the mangosteen is left to grow old on a branch before being picked, it is called an old mangosteen. Remove the pods of old mango beans and dry them in the sun. They can be stored in cans and used at any time. I continued to eat it until fresh monk beans came on the market the next year. Old mangosteen is often fried into "fried mangosteen" and eaten in the countryside. In the city, especially in small hotels such as the Xianheng Hotel, they are often used to make "beans", "fennel beans", "orchid beans", etc., as "wine bases" (drinks) prepared all year round. ?
