The wooden rafters embedded with hard fine wood are used to hang mulberry ears. One end is tied vertically to the roof of the drying house with hemp rope or iron wire. There are sufficient ventilation holes on the four walls of the drying house.
The dried fruit ears are called hanging thorns. They are hung in a row and tied in a row. They are hung layer by layer starting from the bottom, one after another, like a pagoda, and hung straight to the roof. 3 to 4 days after the thorns are attached, some fruit ears and grains will fall off, and they should be cleaned up in time. From now on, clean it every 2 to 3 days until it stops falling off. The fallen fruit ears and fruit kernels are exposed to the sun to make inferior dried mulberries.
