Braised winter melon with barley and scallops

Overview

Autumn is here, and the weather is gradually getting cooler, but the autumn dryness is also getting more serious, and I can get angry if I'm not careful. This dish has a light taste, clears away heat and dispels moisture, and is very suitable for such weather.
