wenwan gourd dish play:
1. When you buy a new gourd, put it in a dry place such as a window sill. Never use your hands to dish it (let alone touch the gourd with dirty or oily hands). Because the gourd picked in that year has not been completely dried naturally, there is still some water in the gourd, and these things can only be volatilized after a period of natural drying.
If a new gourd is eager to get its hands on the plate, the dirty things on the hands will easily enter the skin of the gourd, and these dirty things will hinder the drying of the gourd itself, so that the gourd will have flower skin.
2. Put the newly bought gourd on the window sill to bask in the sun. In summer, you can directly bask in the sun. During this time, you will find that the gourd changes color very quickly. If the gourd is good enough, it will turn dark yellow in the summer sun. Of course, we should pay attention to the fact that if the gourd with the cover is dried, the cover must be taken off, otherwise it will be easily cracked by the sun.
3. When autumn comes, you can start to dish the gourd. Before you start to dish the gourd, I like to coat the surface of the gourd with walnut oil, so that the color of the gourd will look very moist. I like to use old woolen sweaters to dish gourds, because old woolen sweaters are soft and not easy to hurt the skin of gourds. In short, the gourd must not be impatient.
Maintenance of wenwan gourd:
The gourd has achieved some results. At this time, don't leave your hand every day. It's time to give it a holiday.
Because everything has a limit, if you don't let it rest, it will go on strike one day. If the leather layer is thin, all the troubles will come, and the original beautiful patina will get dirty, and the gourd is red and green.
So raising it is the most important thing for you to do at this time. Hold it in your hand for a few times every day. Isn't it said that you have face oil, so you just rub it? You won't think it's not environmentally friendly, but don't grease the gourd with poor skin, it will get dirtier and dirtier, then put it on a plate, and finally simply wipe it with clean cotton cloth, and put it in a box, and it will be ok. Do this once a day or two.
Raising is a long process. The gourd is not playing with its life, not blooming its most beautiful side briefly, but in the persistent process. Quote Lin zai's literary play
