The two sisters-in-law came and put their respective herbs into the basins they brought and filled them with water.
Lin Qingqing taught the two how to wash herbs, but she was afraid that they would rub their faces like they usually wash vegetables.
"Before washing, soak the herbs in water for ten minutes."
"Look, just put your palms in the middle and stir, about ten times, and then gently stir the herbs Take it out of the water."
"Pour another basin of water into the herbs, stir them again, and remove all the dirt on them, and then gently fish them out. ”
“Put it on the bluestone to dry, and then you can start processing the herbs. ”
As long as you are careful with this step, the sister-in-law who works all year round will not appear. What a problem.
The two sisters-in-law knew how to look at it and started to clean it. After washing it, Lin Qingqing took a look and found that there was nothing wrong with it.
Now that the sun is strong in summer, the moisture on these herbs can dry out in a short time.
While the herbs were drying out, Lin Qingqing grabbed a handful of Xiaomei's herbs and taught the two how to handle them.
The three of them were sitting under the pergola, with Xiuhong and Honghua sitting on either side of Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing picked up an herb and picked off the leaves. First, he removed the hard stems of the leaves, and then pinched off the red leaf tips.
This step tests the two people’s hands-on ability and learning ability.
Lin Qingqing patiently picked off all the leaves from an herb and showed them to the two of them.
Xiuhong and Honghua each held a herb in their hands. After Lin Qingqing finished speaking, they started to take action.
Honghua has fine hands. She picked off all the leaves of an herb first, and then started to process the leaves. Soon the herb was finished.
Xiuhong picked off the leaves one by one and then processed them.
Lin Qingqing sat aside and watched for a while. It was obvious that Honghua was doing it faster, and the basket in her hand could not even see the bottom.
Sister-in-law Xiuhong’s basket didn’t have many leaves. She was afraid of making mistakes, so she made them very carefully. She was already slower than Honghua, so the gap widened immediately.
She looked up at the leaves in the red flower basket, and her head started to sweat.
After a while, Honghua’s herbs were all processed, and Xiuhong still had half of them on hand.
Lin Qingqing asked Xiuhong to stop and took their baskets over to check whether they were qualified.
She took a closer look. Although Sister-in-law Xiuhong was slow, she was all qualified. Only a few stems were not removed thoroughly enough.
As for the red flowers, because she picked the leaves first, some of the leaves were torn, but the head and tail of the leaves were handled well.
She looked at the two of them and said: "Sister-in-law Honghua handled it very quickly, which is a plus, but some leaves were torn, but others are fine."
"Sister-in-law Xiuhong handled it very well, there was no problem."
After hearing this, Xiuhong felt that she was much slower, and finally a smile appeared on her face.
Lin Qingqing glanced at the two of them and suggested: "The two sisters-in-law can divide the work and cooperate. For example, sister-in-law Xiuhong is familiar with the mountains and knows where there are many grasses. She will definitely pick more herbs faster and more than sister-in-law Honghua. Hong Sister-in-law Hua has quick hands and is suitable for handling herbs. ”
“If we cooperate, Sister-in-law Xiuhong will pick the herbs, wash them, and dry them, while Sister-in-law Honghua will only need to handle the herbs. The herbal medicine will be more than what you make yourself, you can try it first."

After hearing this, the two people were silent in their hearts, and instantly looked at each other with bright eyes.
They think this is reasonable. Isn't this the step of doing what you are good at and not touching your shortcomings? Isn't this more than two people doing separately?
Xiuhong smiled: "Qingqing, your brain is so useful, we didn't expect it."
Honghua also agreed, she looked at Xiuhong and said, "I You think it's okay, let's try it out in the next few days?"
Of course Xiuhong had no objection. She stood up to get her basket and shovel, and was about to go to the mountain to collect herbs.
"I'll go now and pick more. I can wash them and dry them when I come back."
"Honghua, come to my house tonight and we'll finish them all today." "Okay."
Honghua nodded: "Okay, you go ahead, I'll look through the herbs. I'll start working on them when they're dry."
Xiuhong looked at them. He glanced at the cheap son who had been hanging around Xiaomei and said, "Gouwa, I'm going to go up the mountain. You, Aunt Xiaomei and Aunt Honghua are playing here. Do you hear me?"
Gouwa looked up. He glanced at his mother and then lowered his head, with no trace of reluctance on his face.
Xiuhong glared at Gouwa and walked away quickly with the bamboo basket on her back.
Lin Qingqing felt thirsty after talking for a while. She went to the hall to pour two porcelain cups of water and handed one to Honghua.
Honghua took a few sips of water and turned over the herbs on the bluestone.
The bluestone slab absorbs water and is heated by the sun. When the herbs are placed on it to dry, the water dries quickly.
Lin Qingqing sat under the pergola with a cup and said: "Sister-in-law Honghua, my place is close to the mountain. After you picked the herbs, you came to my house to wash them. After washing, you can put them on the bluestone to dry. Everyone sit down. It's lively in one place."
Xiaomei also looked up and said with a smile, "Yes, it's in our courtyard during the day. You can take it back if you can't finish it at night."
Honghua knew that Lin Qingqing had good intentions. It was not convenient for them to dry herbs when they lived in Tongzilou. Qingqing's yard had such a large area of bluestone paved ground, and the herbs dried quickly as soon as they were spread out.
She turned over the herbs in her hand with a look on her face.Smiling: "Okay, we can be companions together."
Sister-in-law Xiuhong's legs and feet were quick, and she came back in more than an hour, carrying a bamboo basket full of me.
She didn’t even drink the water when she entered the yard, so she started washing herbs.
Honghua is already busy processing herbs under the pergola.
When she saw the almost full basket in Honghua’s hand, the smile on her face became even stronger.
Gouwa has now become a little helper, working back and forth between Xiaomei and Honghua. Whose basket is full, he will take it to dry.
Xiuhong washed the herbs and dried them on the bluestone board, then went out again.
