On both sides of the village road, all the way to the ridges, ditches, and fields, it seems that wild chrysanthemums are all grown. The fine orange-yellow flowers are swaying in the breeze in the autumn, and not many bees are picking nectar among the flowers.

Every year in late autumn, wild chrysanthemums capture all the ditches and obstacles when everything is slain; wild chrysanthemums bloom on the stagnant faces on the hillside, decorating the colorful swaying life; the loneliness of late autumn is ignited by the golden color everywhere, releasing the connotation of life.

At this time, everything is bleak, the world seems to be tired, and they have lost the love of spring and the vitality of summer.

Wild chrysanthemums are not as big as those grown in the garden, so graceful, and have a shape like sunflowers, but they are not as bright as sunflowers.

The petals of wild chrysanthemums are slender and thin, and the flowers are very thin. If they grow alone in one place, they will naturally be inconspicuous. However, wild chrysanthemums usually grow in clusters, with thin flowers crowding together, which is very lively and eye-catching.

Whether it is grass or flowers, if you bring the word "wild", it is not only because of your strong adaptability and lack of attention to the growth environment, but more importantly, their extremely easy personality. Like ordinary children, they have cultivated the ability to make friends with others since childhood. Wild grass, wild flowers, and children of ordinary families will have a broad world of development.

Sun Gang is very familiar with wild chrysanthemums, including the buds that sprout from the dry grass of the previous year, the leaves that grow, and the new ones that bloom again, until light yellow flowers bloom again, which look very much like some people, revealing a low-key style and is not at all arrogant.

The plants and flowers of wild chrysanthemums have obvious bitter and pungent tastes. Even those tender leaves, cattle and sheep will not easily taste them. In winter, the stems and leaves of wild chrysanthemums that have dried can be cut as firewood. During the crackling process, they will emit a bitter and fragrant atmosphere, which will become a final transformation of the materialization state.

When Sun Gang picked wild chrysanthemums, he started by cutting them out with scissors. Later, he thought it was too slow, so he grabbed a few and stroked them down with his hands. Naturally, there would be a lot of rotten flowers, stems, pedicels, leaves, fragments and other impurities inside.

Because wild mountain chrysanthemums are too difficult to pick, the flowers are too small, such small flowers are picking one by one, which is too difficult to do. Sun Gang really doesn’t believe that the supermarkets and pharmacies on the market are wild chrysanthemums. Just imagine how expensive the labor costs are now. If you go to the mountain to find wild chrysanthemums and pick them one by one, how high the cost will be.

After returning home, I removed these impurities one by one, and separated the buds and flowers. This is all a meticulous task, so I can only take it slowly and I can't hurry.

After cleaning up, spread the chrysanthemums and don't stack them together, otherwise the flowers will be burned out due to heat and burn.

Spread the clean wild chrysanthemums thinly on the drying sheet, and only dry for half a day for tea leaves. Reduce the moisture of the flowers and dry until the flowers wilt. This way, it is easy to steam when steaming the flowers and easily dry after steaming. The ones used to stuff the pillow core will be dried directly until they are dried.

Boil the water in the pot before steaming the flowers. When steaming the flowers, first spread the dried flowers loosely in the steamer, and should not be too thick. Then start steaming on high heat. The steaming time should not be too long or too short. The steaming time should be too long and the flowers should be too mature, and they will become wet and rotten. They will rot into a mess, which is not easy to dry, and will make the flowers look dead. The flowers are too short and the flowers are not steamed. After drying, they will easily turn yellow-brown and have too strong taste, which will affect the taste and quality of the tea.

Therefore, it is advisable to steam the flowers when they are just out of the cage. A certain amount of water should be maintained in the pot, and it should not be too much or too little. Too much water will easily splash the flowers, making the flowers turn into soup flowers. The quality is poor; too little water will cause insufficient steaming. The steaming time will be long and the flowers will be of different color. Therefore, water should be added in time to maintain the water level in the pot. When steaming the flowers, the fire should also be kept even and the temperature in the cage should be constant.

Place the steamed flowers on a clean drying sheet until 60% to 70% dry, and then turn them gently once when they are dry. When the flowers are not dry thoroughly, do not pinch them with your hands and press them to avoid affecting the shape and quality of the tea leaves.

After selection, the chrysanthemums are steamed and dried and are uniform in size, complete in color, bright in smell, fresh in taste, slightly bitter and sweet in taste, and no impurities.

Wild chrysanthemums have unique appearance, golden color, sweet and mellow taste, high and long-lasting fragrance, and have the effects of promoting salivation and quenching thirst, clearing heat and detoxifying, benefiting the liver and improving eyesight, calming the heart and calming the mind, reducing blood pressure and weight loss. It is a drink suitable for all seasons, and is also an ideal drink for preventing heat and cooling in hot summers, clearing heat and detoxifying.

After the drying, Sun Gang couldn't wait to make a cup of tea. The tea soup was slightly yellow and smelled the refreshing fragrance. The harvest came naturally. Out of his hard work, a kind of satisfaction and joy were involuntarily grown.

I took a sip and the taste was slightly bitter. Then the bitterness came to my heart. A faint sweetness flowed from my tongue and teeth.

Especially after brewing a few times, the wild chrysanthemums leave fragrance between the sweet teeth in their mouths. It turns out that wild chrysanthemum tea also needs to be precipitated little by little like time to leave beauty and fragrance.

Sun's mother pulled a few feet of cotton cloth on the street. The cotton cloth was preferably the old cotton cloth. The color looked slightly yellow, like beige, and looked old.

Then a few pillow cores were sewn, rectangular, and then dried wild chrysanthemums were stuffed into them.

After stuffing it, sew the holes and put on the pillowcase, everything will be fine. Sun's mother made several, and Sun Gang also picked wild chrysanthemums several times. Finally, she had enough pillow cores. Sun Gang sent three to Zhao Han.

Moreover, the chrysanthemum pillow is most afraid of getting damp. If the weather is good, you should often take it out to the sun to prevent the wild chrysanthemums from getting damp and rotting.

People who often use chrysanthemum pillows will feel refreshed and full of energy. This pillow nourishes yin and clears heat, and has good therapeutic effects on relieving symptoms such as liver yin deficiency, liver fire inflammation, red and swollen eyes, dry and shy eyes, unclear vision, and sore throat. It can prevent insomnia, high blood pressure, and is a must for those who stay up late for a long time.

That night, Sun Gang lay on the bed early and gently placed his head on the wild chrysanthemum pillow. Suddenly, a primitive, pure, and fresh fragrance of flowers penetrated into his heart.

Sun Gang couldn't bear to fall asleep while sitting on the pillow of wild chrysanthemum sewn by his mother, as if Sun had just walked into a forest. That pure breath washed his heart and the unique fragrance of wild chrysanthemum warmed his whole body.

When Sun Gang was a child, he had pillows filled with mung bean shells. Later, he had pillows made of cotton pillows, pillows made of rag clothes, pillows filled with space cotton pillows, and pillows filled with silk pillows. He also saw various colorful pillows in shopping malls of all sizes. Sun Gang still felt that chrysanthemum pillows were the most comfortable, fragrant, gorgeous and charming.

"Chrysanthemums are yellow and fragrant all over the ground. Make chrysanthemums to fill the warehouse. The chrysanthemum wine is fragrant and the chrysanthemum pillow is so cool..."
