Appendix: How to select pears

1. When choosing pears, we should pay attention to selecting pears of moderate size; do not choose pears that are too large or too small.

2. Whether the pear's surface is smooth and whether there are insect holes or scars is also something we should pay attention to.

3. The pear's fragrance is very fresh; we can smell it with our nose to see how the scent is. If there is no fragrance, the pear may have been sitting for a while, so we should try to choose fresh pears with fragrance.

4. Squeeze the pear to see whether the flesh is firm and springy.
