Chapter 149: Picking Sichuan Pepper (Part II)
"It seems like this is the ...... It seems to be this ......."
When Eryun dotted in this direction and in that direction, he hesitated.
Dang Jiang glanced at Angelica a little helplessly, and said, "Siya, if you wait here, Dad will go around and take a look, and when he finds it, he will come back to you." ”
"Dad, let's go our separate ways."
As she spoke, she reached out and picked a tubular plant from the ground, pinched both ends, and then put it in her mouth and blew, and the quiet tube immediately made a "whine" sound.
Angelica said: "Dad, you pick two Lu pipes, hold them in your hands, if you find the pepper tree, blow this Lu pipe, if I find it, I will also blow it, we hear this sound, then go to find another convergence, how about it?" ”
When Jiang reached out and picked one, he pinched both ends like Angelica, and tried to blow the sound.
He nodded and said, "Okay, then Eryun and Siya are together, but you can't go too far, if you go too far, you won't be able to hear the sound." If we can't find it, we'll come back here. ”
"Hmm." Angelica nodded and said, "Dad, you have to be careful alone." ”
"Dad knows, this is just the periphery of Baiyun Mountain, and it's daytime, you won't encounter poisonous snakes and beasts, even if you do, Dad will climb trees, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that when I get to the trees, the beasts won't be able to catch Dad."
When Angelica heard him say this, he was relieved, and the three of them divided into two roads and walked in different directions.
The fragrance of pepper is strong, and Angelica has a keen sense of smell, not long after they left, Angelica smelled the numb and fragrant smell of pepper.
"Second brother, we found it, the pepper is over there."
Angelica hurriedly ran in the direction of the fragrance, and as he ran, he put the Lu tube to his mouth and blew hard.
When Jiang heard Lu Guan's "whining" sound and knew that it was Angelica who had found the pepper tree, he was very happy, turned around and ran in the direction of Lu Guansheng.
It didn't take long for Dangjiang to come to the place where Angelica and Dang Eryun were, only to see that piece, the mountains were full of pepper trees, and at a glance, there was no end in sight.
"Dad, look, there are a lot of pepper trees here, it's great."
Angelica said happily.
Dang Jiang nodded vigorously and said, "Great, look at this tree, there are a lot of peppercorns, it looks really cute." ”
"Dad, take out that tool, let's try it and see if it works."
Jiang immediately put down the back basket, and then took out three tools for picking peppercorns from the cloth bag inside.
This tool for picking peppercorns, using the principle of scissors, is equipped with a ring below, under the ring, a cloth bag is covered, when operating, with the blade above, the sprigs of pepper are cut off, and after that, it falls into the cloth bag under the ring.
It's easy to use and doesn't hurt your fingers at all.
The only drawback is that it is not long enough, and now you can only pick peppercorns in relatively low places, and you can't pick them if they are too high.
"This tool needs to be improved a little more." Angelica used it for a while, then turned back to Dangjiang and said, "I have to make a telescopic rod, so that the peppercorns that grow in a high place can also be picked." ”
"Telescopic pole?" When Jiang asked with a puzzled face, "Is it to add a long handle underneath this?" ”
Angelica nodded and said, "Exactly." ”。
When Jiang thought about it, he said: "Then this telescopic rod is easy to add, but after adding it, our scissors will not be easy to operate." ”
