C24 Plan Failed

His family didn't understand. When the flowers bloomed, wouldn't they be able to pluck it later? Furthermore, the time needed to pick the flower was also a bit longer. There was no need to fight over it, so there was no need to worry about missing out on the opportunity.

Faced with her family's questions, Zhang Qiao explained.

"Dr. Xu said, when the flowers are ready to bloom, pick them. This is the most effective way and the price is also relatively high."

Madam Lau thought of the many flowers that had bloomed and the ones that she had not picked in time. She asked, "Those that bloomed and those that could not be picked in time, wouldn't that be a waste?"

Zhang Qiao said, "That can also be used for sunning chrysanthemums. Just a little bit, and we have to make it separately. "

As Madam Lau listened, she relaxed.

"Alright!" We'll listen to Qiao and gather chrysanthemums every day from now on to dry in separate places. "

Zhang Qiao smiled and nodded. "Alright!"

This was the good point about her family. She was willing to listen to everything she said, and everyone in her family believed what she said. She made a decision, and everyone in her family unconditionally supported her.

The whole family was busy picking chrysanthemums, and the entire yard was filled with them. Naturally, this attracted quite a few people's attention.

Old Mrs Zhang earned a little money selling mint and kept an eye on the family.

Seeing them plucking chrysanthemums, Old Mrs Zhang also led Madam Shaw and her mother in a scramble to pick them. However, they were only interested in picking the chrysanthemums. They only saw Zhang Qiao sunning the chrysanthemums and did not ask if there were any other procedures before sunning the chrysanthemums.

He picked quite a few of them in one go, and the more he picked, the more excited he became.

Zhang Qiao shook her head, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.

Actually, the flowers harvested should be placed in the bamboo plaque for about ten hours, causing the flowers to lose some of their moisture, resulting in a slight withering.

The next day began to turn green.

In the pot, there was a large fire. After a few minutes, the lid of the pot was removed and the steam sieve was removed. The steamed cake was then poured onto the outdoor curtain and gradually dried.

If it comes to a cloudy day or a continuous rain, dry it with charcoal." The chrysanthemum dried with charcoal has a low aroma, poor quality and a strange smell of charcoal.

Not high quality.

There were some things to be done with the cake, and one needed to be very careful. If the cake was too dry, it would easily break the petals. If the cake was not dry enough, it would become a black mold and rot after a few days and become a defective product.

Looking at the simple picking and drying of chrysanthemums.

Actually, it was not simple at all.

Later on, Zhang Qiao dried the chrysanthemums she had picked. Madam Lau was puzzled and asked, "Qiao, why don't you steam first?"

Zhang Qiao laughed and said, "Mother, after these chrysanthemums are dried, we use them as pillows. Each person in the house will sleep, the chrysanthemum pillow is good for them, smelling the fragrance of the flowers can calm them down and help them sleep. "

Madam Lau's eyes lit up when she heard that.

"This is good, this is good. Then I'll go pick more tomorrow, we can make two more, I'll send them to your grandma and grandpa later. They're old and they always say they can't sleep well. "

"Alright!" We just happen to have some cotton at home, so let's make a few more. "

About the flawed cotton at home, which was still in the cellar and had been exposed to the sun several times. Although the mildew was suppressed, the white cloth still had some black spots, which were not only eye-catching, but also unsightly. Because of this, the cloth farm's owner was able to deal with it cheaply.

Zhang Qiao took this to heart.

Pan thought about what to look for and dyed the cloth the color he liked.

After the chrysanthemum was dried, Zhang Qiao and her family went to the town together to sell the chrysanthemum medicine and to buy things for Madam Lau's parents.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the [Hundred Herbs Hall], they met the Zhang Family Elder and Zhang Laosan, who were selling bags and bags of chrysanthemums.

When a family met, they would always greet each other.

Old Mrs Zhang's smile was as kind as it could be, thinking that she could earn money in a while.

"Boss, you guys also picked chrysanthemums to sell?"

Zhang Dacheng nodded, "Father, Mother, you guys go in first."

He stepped aside to let them in.

Dr. Xu was behind the counter grabbing some medicine. When he saw them arrive, he was stunned for a moment before coming over with a smile.

"Miss Zhang, what kind of good herbs did you bring today?"

Dr. Xu was very polite.

From an outsider's point of view, he greatly valued his son's savior.

Zhang Qiao responded with a smile, "We've been making some chrysanthemums recently. How about Dr. Xu take a look at them later to see how they look like?" Have you been disappointed? "

"Miss Zhang is smart. She taught me a few herbs in the past, so she definitely won't disappoint me this time." Ladies and gentlemen, please. Put the goods down first, I've checked the goods, weighed them, and settled the money. "

Dr. Xu invited them to put down the things and then told the apprentice to go and get the scale.

Zhang Laosan wanted Dr. Xu to weigh them first, but before he could say anything, Old Mrs Zhang pulled him close to her ear and whispered something.

"Let them go through the scales first. It just so happens that we can see what their price is."

When Zhang Laosan heard this, he gave his old lady a big thumbs up.

"Mom, you're so tall!"

Old Mrs Zhang was pleased with herself.

"Of course!"

Zhang Dacheng opened the cloth bag, and the rich fragrance of the flowers assaulted his nostrils. Dr. Xu looked at the chrysanthemums in his bag. His eyes lit up as he hurriedly grabbed a handful. He spread it out on his palm and carefully examined it.

"Un, not bad, not bad!" This foetal chrysanthemum is tanning well, and tanning well. "

Old Mrs Zhang moved closer to take a look and muttered, "So young and so yellow, how good can it be? You don't know how to pick chrysanthemums, it's true. "

The few people beside him heard it but ignored it.

Dr. Xu tried something else.

Finally, the scale was passed, but there was no pricing.

Dr. Xu looked at Old Mrs Zhang and the others, "You guys go ahead and take a look first. After the scale is over, I will settle the score together with you guys later."

Old Mrs Zhang had wanted to see the price of Zhang Qiao's group. Now the plan had failed.

"Dr. Xu, don't worry!" The chrysanthemums that we sunned were all of the best quality. Not only big flowers, there are also a lot of them. "

Dr. Xu did not reply.

Zhang Laosan opened the cloth bag.

Dr. Xu grabbed a handful and looked at it for a while. He then asked, "You guys picked all of these?"

Old Mrs Zhang nodded happily, "Yes! All of them, Dr. Xu, am I right? These chrysanthemums are really good. "

Dr. Xu got someone to send the chrysanthemums of Zhang Qiao's group into the warehouse and had them put away the scale.

Seeing this, the smile on Old Mrs Zhang's face froze.

"Dr. Xu, how come it's just a scale? You don't want such a good chrysanthemum? Or is the price too high for you to accept? "

Dr. Xu returned to the counter and prepared to count the silver for Zhang Qiao.

He looked at Old Mrs Zhang, unable to finish his sentence, "Aunt Zhang, I really can't take all the chrysanthemums you've picked."

Old Mrs Zhang said anxiously, "The price is fine, just a little bit higher than what the elders offered."

Dr. Xu felt like he was playing a lute to a cow. If it was really good, how could he not accept it? He had no choice but to put it plainly.

"Aunt Zhang, the chrysanthemums you're drying are not up to standard. I can't accept them. It's useless for me to keep them, they can't be used for medicine. "

"What?" Old Mrs Zhang screamed, her eyes filled with disbelief. "How is this possible?" I've also seen what everyone else did, and it was clearly me who did it with a bigger flower, so it's also a little more complete. "

Dr. Xu grabbed two kinds of chrysanthemums and another bunch of theirs.

He patiently explained.

"Aunt Zhang, did you pick the chrysanthemums and go home to dry them?"
