Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 451
"Grandpa, do you want to sell this carving? I personally paid 5000 yuan to keep it!" A tourist said suddenly.

It should be said that Mr. Zhong is quite famous in the province, many of his works are collected by private collectors, and there are quite a few tourists who know him.

"Hehe, this is a boring work of mine, and I don't want to sell it for money." Mr. Zhong declined with a smile.At this stage of his life, money is no longer a big problem, more

The most important thing is to pursue the realm of art.Making better works for people to appreciate is what he values.

Liu Junhao took a deep breath when he heard it, he only felt that the carving was magnificent, and what exactly was good about it, but he couldn't tell why.but someone opened his mouth

Only after paying 5000 yuan did he realize that this carving is extraordinary.

No way, he is not a material for being an artist, his level is limited, and it is more intuitive to use money to measure.

This money is much easier than buying eels by himself, but he is not envious, he has no craftsmanship, and the tree roots in his hands can only be used as firewood.

"Xiaohao, do you want it?" Mr. Zhong smiled and turned around to ask Liu Junhao.

"If you want it, I guess you won't give it to me, old man. I can't afford it." Liu Junhao only thought he was joking, and replied.

"Why don't you give it? It's not asking for money. Give me the Sifang City made of sorghum stiles, how about we exchange it?" Mr. Zhong smiled and put forward the condition
.

Emotionally focused on my Sifang City... This is not okay, that one is for my wife.But Tiger Roaring Mountain looks very good, Liu Junhao also wants to

own.

It’s just that he has a reputation for self-knowledge. The Sifang City is a work of self-entertainment. Although it can be called good, it is still far from the realm of art.

The value of this root carving carved by Mr. Zhong cannot be equal at all.

No matter how thick-skinned he is, he is too embarrassed to exchange.He could only smile and said, "I don't dare to change it, you should keep it, it's more than 5000 yuan. If you really want to
If you like Sifang City, I will give you one for free. "

Anyway, there are blueprints, so it is not difficult to follow them, it is nothing more than a little trouble.But it's scary to think about it. The last time I made a model, I stayed up for more than ten days in a row.
, Simple pasting and repetition almost drove people crazy.

Liu Junhao secretly made up his mind to help Mr. Zhong complete the second model for free this time and seal the pen by himself, and he will do nothing in the future.

"You boy, I can take advantage of you. If you meet a suitable buyer, your sorghum stalks can be sold for several thousand yuan. Neither of us will suffer a loss if we exchange it." Zhong
The old man fell in love with the sorghum poles the first time he saw them, and he tried to make them in private, but he lost his patience when he changed the materials.Didn't make it several times in a row

After doing well, I focused my attention on Liu Junhao.

He knew that what Liu Junhao said just now was the truth, and the key point was that he was embarrassed to take advantage of the younger generation, so he proposed an exchange.

Although he refused repeatedly, Liu Junhao could only carry the root carving home under the insistence of Mr. Zhong.

When she returned to the courtyard, Zhang Qian had already fried a Jerusalem artichoke and prepared the meal.

In summer, I dug a lot of Jerusalem artichokes at the back of the yard and came back to plant them. At that time, Mr. Zhao interrupted me, saying that the planting would not work. I never thought that the [-] or [-] plants would be harvested when I dug in autumn.
Quite a few, including those wild ones outside the courtyard who have three snake skin bags, which have not been eaten yet.

Zhang Qian heard the movement in the courtyard, and was about to go out to greet her husband for dinner, but her mouth fell silent.How to go to the village and bring back a root carving

.

After understanding the reason, she circled around the root carving and admired it, and then asked her husband to wash his hands and eat.

After tasting the dish, Liu Junhao gave him a rare compliment, "My wife's fried dish tastes good."Of course, it is not ruled out that he wandered around for a long time and was already starving.

In the next few days, Liu Junhao began to fall into a painful life.He deeply regretted it now, let himself itch for a while, and accepted the root carving.

* * *
Before the twelfth lunar month in previous years, Liujiagou is full of New Year's flavor.Those who go to school and work outside come back early, each family makes vermicelli, butchers pigs, chickens, catches
Fish, marriage, etc., plus tourists who come to celebrate the New Year, the whole village is very lively.

This year, the mountains were covered by heavy snow, and Liujiagou was quite deserted.Many tourists planned to come to Liujiagou early to buy new year's goods, but unfortunately all plans fell through, and many people just
Can complain online.

Liu Junhao is also a little depressed. Last year, his own vermicelli sold several hundred catties, and many tourists did not buy them.This year, even earlier, someone advertised online
Calling for purchase, he originally planned to go to the street to make more sweet potato flour, but in this weather, he had no choice but to give up.

In addition, there are still many people ordering souvenirs on the Internet, and Liu Junhao also postponed all of them, planning to wait until the snow melts.

It's fine for him to delay for a few days, but Zhao Guangming can't afford to wait.Someone called and said they were going to get married soon, so they set the date on the day of the twelfth lunar month and asked Liu Junhao to help

Send some chicken and carp over.

"Damn, come here and try yourself, I can't fly over." You can prepare things by yourself, but the snow on the road is half a person deep, so there is nothing to do
Unable to walk, Liu Junhao planned to let the goods come and pick them up by himself.

"Brother, please help me, I really can't ride the red rabbit. I've been shopping around for the past two days. With such heavy snow, fresh vegetables can't be brought in at all.
I'm going crazy. "Zhao Guangming kept complaining on the phone.

It is not impossible to ride a red rabbit to the streets in this weather, but Liu Junhao feels distressed, for fear that his own red rabbit will be frozen.

After thinking about it, he decided that he really couldn't go to the street with his things on his back, and it wasn't too far anyway.

Marriage is a big event, Liu Junhao said haha, but he didn't dare to neglect.After dinner, I went to the backyard to check, planning to dig ice to get some carp for Zhao Guangming.

past.It was only before he reached the ditch that he realized that he was so busy that he fainted. The water in the ditch was only [-] to [-] centimeters deep, and it had been frozen solid for a long time.The fish must be frozen in the ice too

, how can I catch it.

After being frozen for more than ten days, carp and grass carp will not hibernate, and they may freeze to death in the ice layer.

However, Liu Junhao still had some fantasies, trying to chisel off a large piece of ice, and then throw it into the stone lock.

Under the immersion in hot springs, the ice cubes melted quickly.But the miracle did not happen, and soon a few fish with white flowers and bellies appeared in the spring.

He waited patiently for more than ten minutes, but the fish still showed no sign of waking up, and they seemed to be completely dead.

This also made Liu Junhao have a clear understanding of Shisuo: spring water is not omnipotent, it just makes creatures more vital, and it cannot violate their own

Naturally.Once the creature's tolerance limit is exceeded, it will still die.

It seems that the fish raised in the ditch will die this time, and the loss is quite heavy.

Thinking of this, he began to worry about the eels in the ditch again.It's okay for carp and the like to die, the big deal is to get them out to feed the waterfowl in the yard, but if yellow
If the eel freezes to death, it will damage the foundation.

Liu Junhao hurried out of the stone lock and grabbed a shovel to dig out the ice layer.

Unexpectedly, the silt under the ice layer also turned into frozen soil, making it extremely difficult to dig.In a few minutes, Liu Junhao was sweating profusely.

But worried about the safety of the eels, Liu Junhao couldn't take a break.

The average eel hole in winter is only tens of centimeters deep, and some are even only a dozen centimeters deep.Who knew that the eel holes in the backyard were deeper than people imagined,

Liu Junhao dug nearly one meter deep, but has not reached the bottom yet.

But this also gave him a little bit of confidence. In such a deep place, there shouldn't be any accidents in the eel.

Just as he was thinking, he saw a dark yellow tail flash under the shovel but did not disappear into the hole.

Seeing the eel digging deep into the hole, Liu Junhao quickly dug a few shovels and grabbed a eel as thick as a thumb.Then he dug several holes and found those
Those eels lived quite happily, and there was no phenomenon of freezing to death or frostbite at all.

Now I feel completely relieved, I didn't expect that under the nourishment of the spring water, the vitality of the rice field eel is stronger than imagined.

It's just that the carp that Zhao Guangming wanted still couldn't be solved. The carps in the backyard were basically frozen to death, and there were a lot of fish in the stone lock, but they couldn't get them out.

At this time, all the puddles were frozen, and if I suddenly caught a few alive and kicking carp, a fool would doubt it.

I can only find someone to catch some carp from the weir pond, and then secretly replace it with the one in the stone lock.

But Liu Junhao is not good at this matter, so he has to ask Liu Wuye to do it himself.

"Fishing carp, right? It's no problem. First you find a few people to dig a hole in the ice, and I'll go after dinner." I heard that Zhao Guangming was married to this fish
Yes, Liu Wuye did not refuse.

Needless to say the process of digging ice, Liu Junhao went to the village and summoned a few young people, and within half an hour he carved a piece of ice the size of a millstone on the ice.
an ice cave.In order to prevent accidents, they laid several door panels on top to bear the weight.

When the ice layer was just cut through, there were many fish outcropping, but unfortunately they were all crucian carp shells and big white fish.This is not what Liu Junhao expected. Unlike the ditch, the Yantang
The area is large, the water contains a lot of oxygen, and big fish generally do not show their heads.

He couldn't see the little fish and shrimp at all.On the contrary, Liu Qiyong wanted to get some home to fry and eat, so he deliberately placed the basket a few times, and every time he lifted it up, he could catch two or three catties
great white fish.

Hearing that Mr. Liu Wuye was going to perform live ice fishing, many tourists also rushed to the weir pond to watch it.

They were talking, only to see Fifth Master Liu coming over with a big bamboo pole four or five meters long.As soon as they saw the Lord, everyone hurriedly moved out of the way.

"Grandpa, what is this? Do you use this to fish?" Seeing the strange appearance of the bamboo pole, the tourists present were confused.They thought they were old

Grandpa can take a fishing rod, but this bamboo rod and fishing rod are two different things, and there is no fishing line.

The top of the bamboo pole was not much thicker than a pencil, trembling as if it was about to break at any time.There is also a ring made of iron wire fixed on it, on which hangs
Several sharp iron hooks.

"It's just fishing with this, you will find out later." Liu Qihua explained to everyone, "This is called a sliding pole hook, which is the old man's unique skill.

People can't play tricks at all. "

"What about the bait? Why don't you put the bait on it? Can you fish with this?" Someone looked at the iron hook on the bamboo pole and took it for granted that it was a fishhook.

Wuye Liu didn't answer, but threw the bamboo pole into the water, and his hands trembled, causing the bamboo pole to sway.
