Remember when I was a child at my grandmother’s house, every summer night, I took a small bench and sat in front of the door and counted the twinkling stars in the sky. Summer nights are always so intoxicating, and the dark sky is full of brilliance. The stars are particularly dazzling. A bright moon hung high in the air, and the faint light was like a flimsy yarn, floating and spilt. The wind in the summer night is expectant, blowing slowly, especially fresh and cool. The frogs hiding in the grass also began to behave arrogantly, croaking non-stop, and cicadas clinging to the tree trunk did not admit defeat, and croaked croaking. The summer nights in my childhood always made me miss very much, and I never forget the starry sky of summer nights.
Seeing Huihui's starry sky bread recipe, I couldn't help but start making it. Master Van Gogh can create the world-famous painting "Star Moon Night" with his brush, then we will knead the unforgettable starry sky into the bread. Come and create your unique starry sky~"
