1. Regardless of whether the old or new fruit is bought, dry it in the shade for half a year. If you are in a hurry to polish it, dry it in the shade for at least 3 months. During this period, the new fruit will shrink and become smaller, and at the same time, the density will become higher and swampy. The new white fruits will shrink and become ivory white. This is the reason why the gray swamp white will no longer appear in the fruits that are ground later.

After this step is completed, if you use dry grinding, you can be 100% sure that the Thousand Eyes will not crack, because the biggest cause of cracking is the rapid loss of water. If it is water milled at this time, although the probability of cracking is also reduced a lot, there is still no guarantee that it will not crack, and absorbing water will reduce its density, which defeats the purpose.

2. Use steel wool to brush off the skin to expose its grooves. (After this step is completed, you can decide whether to leave the skin on for fun)

3. Use 100-grit sandpaper to remove the skin and expose the pulp. When polishing, do not press the Qianyan on a hard surface (such as a table or stove), thinking that it will save effort. If you polish it like this, it will be in the shape of one surface, and the surfaces will not be smooth and excessive. , there is an obvious turning point, and the hand feel after grinding will be very poor. (For normal Thousand Eyes, the pulp exposed at this time is very white, not gray swamp white
