The method of peeling pumpkin seeds is as follows:

1. First, prepare the tools: a rubber band, a paper towel, a pair of chopsticks, and of course a handful of melon seeds.

2. Wrap the rubber band around one end of the chopsticks, making sure it is tight. Don't use too much force, otherwise the rubber band will break easily.

3. Then lay the paper towel flat and fold it in half three to four times.

4. Slowly insert the paper towel into the chopsticks, and then slowly move it towards the end of the rubber band. Switching back to memory must be done slowly.

5. Finally, put the melon seeds between the two chopsticks, and then pinch them easily with the chopsticks.
