Pingyin is called "the hometown of rose" In recent years, the rose industry has developed greatly, rose planting heat is increasing, rose planting area has become the first in Asia, and the demand for "flower pickers" who is skilled in picking roses has increased greatly. The "Li Huiying" came from around Liaocheng, Tai'an, Dezhou and Hebei Cangzhou every year around May, and began a short season of picking flowers.

In May and June, it was a leisure time. There was not much farm work in the family. A flower harvest season could earn thousands of yuan. For many people, it was still very cost-effective. The income of three or four mu of land on the top of the family was a year.
the picked flowers should be sent to the processing workshop immediately. The rose is the king of the flower, and all is the treasure. It can be used to make rose tea, rose sauce and rose wine, and can also extract "rose essential oil" which is more expensive than gold. The age of flower picking women in the general stay in the workshop, picking flowers or doing some other chores, can rest at any time, unlike in the ground, standing, energy consumption.
picking flowers is not heavy physical work, but in bed at night, it is still waist acid and leg pain. If you run into a thorny variety, your fingers are often stabbed. In a busy day, the women harvested 60 yuan for the money. After the flowering period, a lot of people go to the nearby flower tea factory as a small worker, and dry some sunflower packing of the chores, two or three months down, basically can make the child a year's tuition.
