Homemade watermelon cream

Introduction:

"When it comes to oral ulcers, people think of watermelon cream, which is used to treat oral diseases. But do you know how watermelon frost is made? In fact, we can make watermelon frost at home. I remember when I was a child, my grandfather would make some watermelon cream in July and August of autumn. My grandfather's father was an old Chinese medicine doctor, so my grandfather learned to dispense medicine from childhood. At that time, there would be a cellar at home in the countryside, which was used to store grain. It was also the most suitable place to make watermelon frost in the cellar. At this time of last year, I tried to make a watermelon frost by myself, but it was not successful. Finally, I found out the reason for the failure. The reason for the failure was the wind. The water oozing from the watermelon needs to be blown by the wind (that is, air dried) before it becomes frost. So, if there is no wind, you can use an electric fan. Watermelon frost has a long history of use, which was first recorded more than 200 years ago. Gu Shicheng, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, recorded it in the complete collection of selected doctors, which was called "throat medicine" by the ancients. The traditional method of collecting frost is to cut the watermelon, put it into traditional Chinese medicine, put it into a big VAT, and store it in a cool and ventilated place. A few months later, there are flocculent white crystals outside the cylinder wall, which is commonly known as watermelon frost
