My family don't quite understand. When the flowers bloom, they will pick them. Won't they measure more? Moreover, it takes a long time to pick flowers, so you don't have to worry about missing the opportunity.

In the face of family questions, Zhang Qiao explained.

"Doctor Xu said that picking flowers when they are in bud is the most effective and the price is relatively higher."

Liu thought that there were many flowers that had opened before he could pick them. He asked, "those flowers that have opened before they can pick are not wasted?"

Zhang Qiao: "that can also make chrysanthemums in the sun. It's just a few times. Besides, we have to make them separately. "

Liu's listen, this rest assured.

"Yes! We listen to ah Qiao, and we will pick chrysanthemums every day and sun them separately. "

Zhang Qiao nodded with a smile, "good!"

Her family is such a good one. She listens to everything she says. Her family believes in what she says and supports her decisions unconditionally.

The whole family picked chrysanthemums and dried them all over the yard, which naturally attracted many people's inquiries.

Old lady Zhang made a little money selling mint and kept an eye on their house.

Seeing them picking chrysanthemums, Mrs. Zhang also led Xiao's mother and daughter to pick them everywhere. However, they only rush to pick chrysanthemums, only to see Zhang Qiao sun chrysanthemum, and did not ask before sun, there is no other process.

I picked a lot at once, and the more I picked, the more excited I was.

When Zhang Qiao knew it, she shook her head and waited to see them make jokes.

In fact, the collected flowers should be spread in the bamboo plaque for about ten hours, so that some of the water of the flowers will be lost, resulting in mild wilting.

Steam the next day.

Steamed green is also particular, the pot fire boil, steaming about half a quarter of an hour, uncover the pot cover, remove the steaming sieve, steamed flowers bonded into cake shape, and then pour the cake on the outdoor curtain to dry gradually.

If it's cloudy or rainy, you need to dry it with oven charcoal. The chrysanthemum dried by charcoal fire has low aroma, poor quality and peculiar smell of charcoal.

It's not top grade.

If the petals are too dry, they will become moldy and rotten.

Looking at the simple picking and drying chrysanthemum.

It's not easy at all.

After picking the chrysanthemums in the sun, Zhang Qiao came back to pick them. Liu looked puzzled and asked, "ah Qiao, why don't you steam it first?"

Zhang Qiao said with a smile, "mother, after these chrysanthemums are dried in the sun, we'll use them as pillows. One person at home, chrysanthemum pillow good for people, smell the smell of flowers to sleep, can calm the nerves and help sleep

Hearing the speech, Liu's eyes suddenly brightened.

"This is good, this is good. I'll pick more tomorrow. Let's make two more. I'll send them to your grandma and grandfather later. They're getting older and always say they can't sleep well. "

"Yes! It happens that we have cotton cloth at home, so let's make more. "

Speaking of the defective cotton fabrics at home, they are still in the cellar and exposed to the sun for several times. Although the mildew is restrained, there are black spots on the white cloth, which are not only conspicuous but also not good-looking. Because of this, the manager of the cloth shop took advantage of it.

Zhang Qiao took it to heart.

I want to find something and dye the cloth in my favorite color.

After drying the chrysanthemums, Zhang Qiao and her family went to town together to sell chrysanthemum medicine and buy things to Liu's mother's house.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the herbal medicine store, they met Zhang Laoer and Zhang Laosan, who were carrying big bags of chrysanthemums to sell.

When a family meets, they always say hello.

Mrs. Zhang is thinking that she can earn money later, and her smile is unprecedented.

"Boss, do you also choose chrysanthemums to sell?"

Zhang Dacheng nodded, "Mom and Dad, you go first."

Then he turned to let them go first.

Dr. Xu is dispensing medicine behind the counter. When he sees them coming, he is stunned at first, and then greets them with a smile.

"Miss Zhang, what good herbs have you brought today?"

Dr. Xu is very polite.

Outsiders see, he is very valued son's life-saving benefactor.

Zhang Qiao said with a smile, "we have made some chrysanthemums these days. Doctor Xu will see how they are? Did it disappoint you? "

"Miss Zhang is smart. She used to teach several kinds of herbs, and I won't be disappointed this time. Everybody, please. Put things down first, I'll check the goods, then weigh them and settle the balance. "

Dr. Xu invited them to put down their things and asked the apprentice to take them out.

Zhang Laosan wanted Dr. Xu to weigh them first. Before he could say it, he was pulled down by Mrs. Zhang and whispered in his ear.

"Let them weigh them first, so we can see what their price is?"

Hearing the speech, Zhang Laosan gave his mother a thumbs up.

"Mother, you are so tall!"

Old lady Zhang is proud.

"That's natural!"Zhang Dacheng opened the cloth bag and the strong fragrance of flowers came to his nose. Dr. Xu looked at the chrysanthemum fetus in the bag. His eyes brightened. He grabbed a handful and spread it in the palm of his hand to examine it carefully.

"Well, not bad! This baby chrysanthemum has a good sun. It's a good sun. "

Old lady Zhang came to have a look and muttered: "so small, so yellow, where can it be better? I don't know how to pick big chrysanthemums. It's true. "

Several people nearby heard it, but ignored it.

Dr. Xu had another examination.

Final weighing, but no pricing.

Doctor Xu looked at old lady Zhang and said, "you should have a look first. After weighing, I'll settle the accounts together."

Old lady Zhang wanted to see Zhang Qiao. How about their price? Now the plan has failed.

"Don't worry, doctor Xu! The chrysanthemums we sun out are all top-notch. Not only big flowers, but also many

Doctor Xu didn't say a word.

Zhang Laosan opens the cloth bag.

Doctor Xu grabbed it, looked at it for a while, and asked, "what are you picking up?"

Old lady Zhang nodded happily, "yes! It's all this, Dr. Xu. I'm right. This chrysanthemum is really good. "

Doctor Xu asked people to send Zhang Qiao's chrysanthemums to the warehouse, and asked people to collect the scales.

A stiff old smile on her face.

"Doctor Xu, why don't you weigh it? We are such a good chrysanthemum, you don't want? Or is the price too high for you to pay? "

Before Dr. Xu returns to the counter, he is ready to calculate the cash for Zhang Qiao.

He looked at old lady Zhang, and said, "Auntie Zhang, I really can't afford these chrysanthemums you picked up."

Mr. Zhang said anxiously: "the price is easy to say, just a little higher than that of the old people."

Doctor Xu feels like playing the piano to a cow. If it's good, how can he not accept it? There's no way, he has to be clear.

"Auntie Zhang, I can't accept the chrysanthemums you dried. It's useless if I take them. They can't be put into medicine. "

"What?" Old lady Zhang screamed and couldn't believe it. "How can it be? I've seen the sun dried flowers from the eldest family. It's clear that the flowers I sun dried are bigger and more complete. "

Doctor Xu went to catch two kinds of chrysanthemums and another one of theirs.

By contrast, explain patiently.

"Aunt Zhang, are you picking chrysanthemums and drying them immediately after you come home?"
