苦差事——摘花椒 Drudgery -- Picking Sichuan pepper

Picking Sichuan pepper is hard work.

The peppercorns at home are red. My parents have started to pick Sichuan pepper. I rushed back with my daughter and my sister and the kids to help.

My parents planted more than 100 pepper trees in the persimmon garden. This year, we have God's help and good rain. There are more prickly peppers than usual. Standing in the field, looking from a distance, the trees are full of red fruits hanging tightly on the branches, the old couple's heart is beautiful.

Picking Sichuan pepper must have good weather, the sun can be dried pepper in time. If you don't dry one day, it will turn black the next day, and it doesn't look good. The price will be greatly reduced.

Pepper trees are covered with dense horn thorns, and you can be pricked if you are not careful. So you need to wear long clothes and trousers when picking peppers. Pick pepper with thumb pinch, make the nails black do not say, pinch more, squeeze the nails inside the flesh pain. The most afraid is accidentally pinched to the old thorn, be a ruthless prick, the pain of the heart, let people sizzle sucking cool.

Grown-ups are used to being pricked. My daughter was pricked and told me to look. Calling for grandma and grandpa to finish picking this year, he cut down the pepper tree. Grandma will say yes.

Flower pepper fruit covered with lumpy oil package, accidentally squeezed oil package, juice jumped into the eyes, numbing numbing pain people uncomfortable for a long time, can not open their eyes.

Pick pepper must get up early, get up less than six o 'clock, pick to ten o 'clock breakfast. After the meal continue to pick a little more. From three o 'clock in the afternoon until dark. It was better in the morning. The noon sun was blazing, sweat trickling down my cheeks. In the evening, mosquitoes are in a frenzy. People who stare through their pants are full of money. It was miserable.

I looked at the garden full of fruit and pepper trees, no joy of harvest, ha ha! I just wonder when I can finish ……………

摘花椒是个苦差事。

家里的花椒红了。爸妈已经开始摘花椒。我带着闺女儿，妹妹也带着孩子们一起赶回去帮忙。

爸妈在柿子园里套种了一百多棵花椒树。今年有老天照应，雨水好。花椒比平常年结的多。站在地头远远望去，满树红果果密密麻麻挂在枝头，老两口心里美美的。

摘花椒必须有好天气，大太阳才能及时晒出干椒。要是一天晒不干，放到第二天就会变黑，卖相不好。价格也会大打折扣。

花椒树上布满密密麻麻的角刺，一不小心就会被扎到。所以摘椒时需穿长衣长裤。摘椒用大拇指掐，搞得指甲黑乎乎不说，掐多了，挤的指甲里面肉疼。最怕的是一不小心掐到老刺上，被狠扎一下，钻心的疼，让人嗞嗞的倒吸凉气。

大人们早就习惯了被扎。闺女儿被扎一下，撒着娇叫我看。喊着让姥姥姥爷今年摘完，就把花椒树砍了。姥姥会嘴上答应。

花椒果上布满了疙疙瘩瘩的油包，一不小心挤破油包，汁液蹦到眼睛里，麻疼麻疼的让人难受老半天，睁不开眼。

摘花椒一定要早起，不到六点起床，摘到十点吃早饭。吃完饭继续摘到一点多。下午从三点直到天黑。早上还好一些。中午大太阳晒着，汗水顺着脸颊汩汩流下。傍晚蚊子群魔乱舞。隔着裤子盯的人满腿红包。真是苦不堪言。

我望着满园子果实累累的花椒树，没有丰收的喜悦，哈哈！我只想啥时候才能摘完……………
