The second is to soak in cold water all the time, especially in summer, it is best to keep the temperature of water at 0-5 degrees, because sea cucumbers are afraid of heat and cold, shrink and swell, and are easy to melt with hot water. Moreover, pure water should be changed every 6-8 hours to avoid excessive accumulation of impurities, which is not conducive to the foaming of sea cucumbers. Sea cucumbers need to be soaked for 24 hours, and then taken out after 24 hours.
