How to take the things out of the gourd

Dig out most of the pulp with a spoon, and the rest is difficult to remove. You can add some sand and shake it hard, shake it for a while, and then shake it hard until it is clean. You can also use fine wire to clean the seeds and pulp inside the gourd.

Treatment process of gourd:

1. Opening: Make a sharp opening at the top of the gourd, and then drill holes with the same size on both sides.

2. Picking seeds and removing pulp: After drilling, clean the seeds and pulp in the gourd with fine wire.

3. Stuffing: Choose a cork with the same size as the spout hole (the cork for bottled wine is the best), put it in the hole of the wine gourd cover, and then stick the raw egg white.

4. Anti-seepage treatment: This process must be fine. It not only determines whether the hip flask is permeated with wine, but also affects the taste of the wine contained in the hip flask. Generally speaking, glutinous rice is cooked with slow fire into porridge with high viscosity, loaded with gourd, sealed and placed in a place where direct sunlight is not allowed and ventilation is good for about a week. Then pour out the gruel, and when the gourd is dry, do it twice according to the above method. The wine gourd made in this way not only does not leak out, but also, if it is filled with white wine, it will have a faint gourd fragrance and a thick glutinous rice fragrance for a long time.

5, external pyrography: this process is to decorate and beautify the wine gourd. Pictures can be determined according to the shape of gourd and personal preference.

6. Waxing the surface or smearing it with walnut kernel: the oil in walnut kernel can penetrate into the shell of wine gourd without peculiar smell, which plays a role in protecting wine gourd. In addition, the wine gourd treated with walnut kernel can be antique and fascinating after playing for a long time.
