1, dough mixing
Steamed bread flour, that is, yeast, water and flour, is used to mix and knead dough for fermentation once and knead it into prototype.
Step 2 pinch the lights
This step is to cut the square block in front and knead it into a light shape, similar to a small handleless wine cup. The middle is concave, so you'd better pinch it around with your thumb. So that the surface lamp is basically shaped. Pinch the edges into ears, not too thin. Too thin to look good.
Step 3 insert a twist
With a bamboo cotton swab, you can wrap more cotton and burn it for a long time. Some of them are tangled and can burn for hours. When I was a child, I carefully carried them around the village.
Step 4 pour oil
Pour the cooking oil and the cotton swab will flow down.

On the Lantern Festival, farmers who have been busy for a year pray for good weather, prosperity and peace in the new year. The lamp has pinned people's hopes for a bumper harvest in the coming year.
