The water is the same as the grass, I boiled more than 10 washed eggs under the grass, the eggs have been boiled for a long time, the egg whites are not old, and there is a fragrance of grass.
Medium heat (for fear that the eggs will crack when boiled) bring to a boil, then turn to low heat and cook for 1-2 hours.
Peel the walnut flesh and crush it, put it in a pressure cooker with red beans and red dates to cook it half-cooked (the red beans have not yet cracked and sand to the extent that the sand) is set aside.
