Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 345 Traveling and Moving
Although Pang Xu kept complaining, he didn't delay eating at all. After a while, all the watermelons went into his stomach.

In the end, this guy aimed his eyes at the pear tree in front of the door, hooked a big pear with a net bag, and ate it happily.

The guy couldn't sit still after eating and drinking, and asked if there were any smaller watermelons here.

"A smaller watermelon...you haven't eaten enough yet? Wait until I cut another one for you." Liu Junhao looked at Pang Xu in surprise. Could it be that this person is really a foodie.The two of them didn't even move the half of the watermelon just now, Xu Xiaoli only ate two pieces, and let this guy eat the rest, and the duck pear just now weighed at least half a catty.With so many fruits, he was not full.

"No, I'm full. I just saw that your watermelon has thick rind, so I thought about making a melon carving art for you." Pang Xu waved his hands repeatedly and shouted.

"Melon carving art? At your level, don't spoil my watermelon." Liu Junhao is no stranger to watermelon carving. A few days ago, someone posted a similar photo on the [-]th floor forum.People use watermelons to carve images of peonies, human heads, and pavilions, which look amazing.At that time, Liu Junhao's hands were itchy, and he also wanted to try it on his own melon skin.But he is known for his self-knowledge, and he knows that it is no problem for him to weave something. It is not an easy task to carve something on the bare watermelon skin, so there is no waste of watermelon.

"Damn, look down on people, don't you? Let me tell you, my buddy has really learned how to eat carving for a few days. Hurry up and find me a smaller watermelon, as long as it's the size of a football, and I'll show you what real art is."

Seeing this guy's confident look, Liu Junhao could only turn his head and sneak into the backyard to look for melons.This is the time when watermelons are in full bloom. Watermelons, big and small, hang all over the yard, which looks quite spectacular.The watermelon was too big, which made people worry. He searched back and forth, but he couldn't find a ripe melon the size of a football. The smallest one weighed ten catties.

Reluctantly, Liu Junhao could only enter the stone lock to look for it. When walking in the melon field, he took very small steps, for fear that he would accidentally step on the melon seedlings.A few days ago, I was catching rock chickens inside, and accidentally stepped on a melon seedling from the root.At that time, he was very distressed for a while. If the melon seedling hadn't died, at least dozens of catties of watermelon could be produced. If he stepped down, dozens of dollars would be lost.

"Huh..." He couldn't help being stunned when he cast his eyes on an open space: the melon seedling from earlier was not dead yet.Although the leaves with the size of a cattail leaf fan at the root have turned yellow, a section of the branch is still green as before, and the bowl-sized watermelon on it is bigger than a few days ago.

Can the watermelon continue to grow after the melon seedling dies?Liu Junhao stepped forward in disbelief to mention the melon seedlings, and only then did he find out the reason.There happened to be a dozen or so lateral roots growing on that branch, and it was these lateral roots that provided nourishment for the watermelon.However, due to insufficient supply of nutrients, the yellow flowers on those melon seedlings have completely withered, leaving only one watermelon.He tapped it with his hand, the sound was crisp, it should be ripe ahead of time.

This kind of watermelon is called dead seedling melon. Although it is already ripe, it doesn't taste very good. The material for Pang Xu's melon carving is just right, and it can be regarded as reused waste.

When the watermelon was brought to the front yard, Pang Xu immediately took out a knife from the key ring and got busy.With the movement of his fingers, circles of green skin peeled off from the watermelon.

Liu Junhao originally wanted to learn from him, but after seeing this guy busy for ten minutes, he finally carved a crooked human face.He asked puzzledly: "Is this what you call art? If scratching a few times on the watermelon rind is called art, then the artist is still dissatisfied with running on the street."

"X, if you have the ability, you can carve one for me. This thing requires a lot of knife skills. I just fix the rough outline first, and then I will carve it carefully." Pang Xu was very confident in himself, and he distinguished After saying a word, he continued to work on the watermelon rind.

Not to mention waiting for him to dig out the excess rind bit by bit, the face on the watermelon really looks like that.It was rare to see this group of people doing a beautiful thing, so Liu Junhao naturally gave him a few words of praise.I never thought that a few words of praise would make this guy's tail go up to the sky, and shouted for Xu Xiaoli and her two to come out for a visit.

Zhang Qian is very interested in melon carvings. After seeing this work, she also moved her mind and planned to carve one by herself and upload it to the Internet.Liu Junhao hurriedly stopped, he knew his wife's hands-on ability too well.

* * *
From a month ago, Su Nana clamored to come and live for a while, but then there was no news for some reason.Today was a good day, as if we had discussed it, Pang Xu and his wife had not arrived for two hours, Su Nana also called and said that they were coming to Liujiagou soon, and asked to push an electric car to pick her up at the entrance of the village.

"How many things have you brought with you to push the electric car? I can go there directly." Zhang Qian asked a little strangely.

"You'll know when you come here. I've moved the whole house here, and you can't move it alone." Su Nana repeatedly emphasized over there.

Hearing what she said was serious, Zhang Qian could only call on her husband to help.Originally, I wanted Xu Xiaoli and her husband to rest, but who knew they would feel bored sitting in the yard, so they wanted to follow and have a look.

"Here..." Before reaching the entrance of the village, I saw Su Nana standing under a tree waving to several people from afar.

From a glance, the girl was wearing a silk short-sleeved sweater, an oversized backpack on her shoulders, sunglasses on her forehead, white breeches on her lower body, and a pair of sneakers on her feet.Manly and high-spirited, there is a sense of competence all over his body, which is enough!
"I don't have much stuff. After hearing what you said on the phone, I really thought you moved the house here." Zhang Qian stepped forward to help untie the travel belt from her waist.

"There's more over there." Su Nana wiped the sweat from her forehead, then pointed to the luggage on the straw stack next to her.

Everyone turned their heads, petrified collectively: she didn't lie on the phone, she really seemed to be moving.Two large suitcases with push-pull, and a portable travel bag. What's even more outrageous is that there is a long box tied to the push-pull suitcase, and I don't know what's inside.

Zhang Qian asked a little speechlessly: "These are all yours?"

"Well, when I was leaving, Li Pei bought me a few catties of bananas, but I didn't bring them because I thought it would be troublesome, otherwise there would be more."

Seeing that she was sweating profusely from exhaustion, a few people didn't stop at the entrance of the village, and walked home directly with salutes.

"What are you carrying here?" Zhang Qian wanted to carry the push-pull box to go, but it felt heavy after just two steps, so she could only pull it on the ground.

"It's nothing, just a change of clothes, bed sheets, mosquito nets, mats. The rest are all snacks..."

"It's all food?" Liu Junhao looked at the two large push-pull boxes and asked suspiciously.How many snacks would it take to fill that up!

"Of course, the box in your hand contains raisins, melon seeds, plums, and fried peanuts, and the box in Zhang Qian's hand contains a box of milk, and by the way, there is also a set of books and notebooks. I plan to take a good look at it when I have time. .”

Food and clothing are all available, listening to her eloquence like a treasure, a few people can only admire her.

As soon as she arrived in the courtyard, Su Nana opened the push-pull box, and the table was filled with melon seeds, raisins, etc. like a treasure chest.Mouth Hu, I really want to eat whatever I want.You can't judge by appearance, even though Su Nana is slender, she is definitely an expert in eating.

After eating so much food, Wukong was completely overjoyed, stretching out his paws and pulling towards him.Finally, Liu Junhao couldn't see it, and knocked the guy's head twice before it survived.

When renovating the house, Liu Junhao deliberately opened up three guest rooms in consideration of the accommodation for friends who came to visit.Recently, because of those pairs of swiftlets, he vacated one of the guest rooms as a swiftlet house for them, but two guest rooms are enough for Xu Xiaoli and others to live in.

Regarding Swiftlet, the couple had great expectations, but the reality was very depressing.So far, those guys have shown no signs of nesting.Fortunately, they have adapted to the surrounding environment, flying in and out of the house every day, which adds a bit of color to the yard.

After arranging the accommodation for the three of them, Zhang Qian saw that it was not time to eat, so she invited everyone to sit under the poplar tree and play cards.

After a while, Wukong picked up a wicker from nowhere and ran into the yard. It squeaked beside Liu Junhao, wanting the owner to weave a straw hat for it.

"Let's go" This game is Liu Junhao's landlord, he is counting cards, and he has no time to mess around with the monkey, so he points his finger at Pang Xu.

"I'll make you a trumpet." Pang Xu got excited and stroked the willow leaves on it.

"Zhizhi" the monkey saw that he had dropped the leaves, and immediately pointed and yelled.

The so-called "wicker trumpet" is very simple to make, just pull a thin wicker at random and twist it by hand to separate the willow bark from the willow bone, and then pull it hard, and the skin and bone will be completely separated.Then use a sickle to cut the hollow wicker bark into ten-centimeter-long pieces, and scrape off a finger-wide green bark at one end to reveal a thin layer of milky white silk, which is pressed into a flat shape.

In this way, a rough hand horn was made.Put the silky end in your mouth and blow hard, and it will make a thick or thin porphyr sound.The thicker the wicker, the rougher the sound, it sounds like a ox.The longer the wicker, the more melodious and delicate the sound.

However, the wicker trumpet is generally best in early spring, and it is already a bit late in this season.

Liu Junhao didn't know how many willow branches were harmed when he was a child, so he was definitely no stranger to this thing, but seeing Pang Xu's enthusiastic expression, he was too embarrassed to speak out against it, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear it.

"Tell you, the wicker trumpet I made back then was definitely like this..." Pang Xu gave a thumbs up, and then continued: "The horn I made can play three tones."

This guy needs to show off if he can be a speaker.

"Why don't you talk about your studies?" Xu Xiaoli knew her husband very well, and she was completely speechless with just one sentence.
