Dongrong

Dongrong
I have never made mooncakes myself. I have been very excited since the mooncake molds came back the day before yesterday. First, I successfully cooked the invert syrup. It started to rain today, and I couldn't go anywhere. I simply started another preparation for mooncakes at home-stuffing.
I wanted to make mooncakes, but also wanted to make unusual mooncakes, so I challenged this difficult Dongrong mooncake. Only when there are few people can there be the meaning and difficulty of the challenge. This is my character!
Without a word, buy back winter melon, open the whole!
The whole process can be said to be a very test of patience!
It took me more than an hour to slowly get the shape.
Moreover, the yield rate is very low. I used 1200 grams of winter melon and finally fried it into such a small bowl.
