Step 1: Peel the newly bought gourd. It's best not to get started in a hurry, and don't do things like lining. Never wash dishes by hand. If you are eager to get started, the dirty things on your hands can easily enter the gourd skin, resulting in the situation of flower skin.
Step 2: put the gourd on the windowsill to dry. During this period, the color of the gourd changed very quickly. If the gourd is good enough, it will turn dark yellow in a summer. If the gourd with the cover is dry, the cover must be removed, otherwise it will crack easily.
Step 3: After drying, you can start to dish the gourd, but use gloves first when playing, and keep the gloves clean until the gourd has obvious luster (patina). If it is 1 hour every day, it will take about one month.
Step 4: The gourd can be closed after the pulp is wrapped. Put the dish 2 days a week, repeat, but keep your hands clean and dry when you put them in your hands. Don't use your face or other frying pans to pursue shortcuts. Although it looks beautiful in a short time, you will regret it after half a year. In short, you must not be impatient when filling the gourd.
