Wash the soybeans and cook them in a pot. Take out the soybeans, control the moisture, and mix them with wheat flour, so that the soybeans can basically be wrapped in one layer and the beans will not stick together. Then put it on a dustpan, dustpan or wooden board, cover the surface of soybeans with a layer of cotton cloth or two or three layers of newspapers, and leave it indoors (in dog days) for about 10 day. (Note that the room is relatively closed to minimize air circulation. After three days of fermentation, the soybeans grow white hairs, wait another day or two, and then put the beans covered with green hairs in the sieve. Put soybeans into a jar or a jar and other pickling containers, then cut fresh watermelons into strips (without removing the white skin), stir them evenly with beans, cut some ginger shreds, add appropriate seasonings such as star anise and pepper, add 1000 g of salt per 1000 kg of raw materials, cover the containers with gauze (to prevent flies) for post-fermentation, and ensure full exposure to sunlight. The longer the ripening time, the darker the color of soybean, which is close to brown and black.
