Method for making wine gourd

The gourd used to make hip flask must be natural and fully mature. The leather is thick, compact and durable, and the first gourd is the best. It needs to be scraped clean after it is taken off, otherwise it will easily deteriorate due to the sun. This process must be careful. When using a bamboo knife, you need to use even force to scrape the skin clean, and you can't leave dead skin. Then put it in a dry and ventilated place to dry, and then go through the processes of chip opening, seed removal, pulping and the like. It is better to treat the mouth of the gourd with the original mouth, which is more natural and does not destroy the charm of the gourd itself. The cork is made of cork, which expands slightly when it meets water, making the mouth of the gourd more dense and not easy to leak.
