What does frost eggplant mean?

Frosted eggplant is eggplant that is frosted.

Frosting eggplant-withering is a two-part allegorical saying, which means that the skin of eggplant will become soft and wilting after frosting, which is a metaphor for listlessness and listlessness.

Whenever the late autumn season, especially after the arrival of the "first frost" season, in the early morning of the northern land, the water on wild plants will form a thin layer of frost due to the temperature drop at night (usually below zero), and the eggplant that has not been picked at this time (eggplant is resistant to high temperature and cold) can't stand the cold, and its skin will wrinkle, which is also commonly known as withering.
