These plums not yet reach the manual picking grade as the size varies. As a results, they are knocked down and made into products other than crispy plums. Under the plum tree, plum planters put a large net, knock plums down into the net, collect the plums on the ground, remove the branches and leaves, then put them together and sort them.
The collected plums are usually made into plum sauce, plum vinegar, perilla plum, sweet preserved plum, and plum powder. However, they cannot be made into crispy plum. To make the plum in the crispy plum or plum wine, no damage is allowed. The jade appearance and attractive color arouse the appetite of the eaters.
