After many days of high temperature, I just wanted to hide in an air-conditioned room at home on Saturday, wondering what to do to relieve the heat and cool down. I suddenly thought of winter melon tea. I remember that when I made sour plum soup last year, I was thinking about making winter melon tea. , And then it was cool after seven drags, so I didn't do it. Just do it, buy the ingredients right away, and act. Sometimes I feel that the temptation of food is really infinite. Although it feels troublesome and hard to make at the beginning, it is so exciting when I taste the final result, plus seeing my family eat it. I am happy, and I feel very happy. The little bit of hard work at the beginning seems to have been forgotten. This is how I joined the food circle step by step, getting deeper and deeper.
