Processing

First, mix the salt and pu xiao with the plums until evenly distributed; let stand for one day and one night until thoroughly soaked. Then, finely grind all the herbs, mix them with the plum mixture, and spread the mixture out to dry in the sun. Soak it again, repeating the process until the mixture is dry to the touch. The best quality is achieved when a white frost-like coating forms after sun-drying; store in a tightly sealed container.
