How to dry mulberry leaves when they frost?
Wash the collected mulberry leaves and control the water. Put water in the pot and mulberry leaves on the grate. The fire boiled the water. After 3 minutes, the mulberry leaves will be cooked, put in baskets, exposed to the sun outdoors, or spread out in the shade, dried and stored.
After the first frost, choose sunny weather. Now the weather forecast can be done for a week, so you can pay more attention to it. The weather has been fine in recent days, which is convenient for drying mulberry leaves. Pick as many as possible at a time, which is worth basking in.
The harvesting time of mulberry leaves directly affects the quality. For example, Sun Simiao recorded in "A Thousand Women's Wings" that "the husband's medicine is taken, and he does not know the season, and he is not exposed to the sun. Although there is a medicine name, there is no medicine. Therefore, if you don't take it on time, it's just like decay, which wastes people and money and is useless. "
There are also some folk agricultural proverbs, such as "medicine in season, planting grass in off-season", "planting wormwood in March and April, burning firewood in May and June" and "Anemarrhena asphodeloides is planted in Huangfen all year round, but the quality is higher in spring and autumn". It has always been thought that the quality of frosted mulberry leaves is excellent and has been recorded in many ancient books. It can be seen that mulberry leaves have special requirements for frost harvest.
