Tips:
1. If you think it is troublesome to cut fish at home, ask the boss to help cut it at the fish farm;
2. Do not throw away the sliced fish heads and fish bones, because they are used to make fish ball soup;
3. Be patient when rubbing the fish balls, and add water too, so that the fish balls that come out will bounce after repeated rubbing;
4. The loofah should not be boiled for too long, you can use the heat of the soup to soak it, so that the loofah will be more fresh and sweet.
