"You're ugly and characteristic, look at what you're thinking in your head. Don't you notice that these pumpkins are generally relatively large? Look at that pumpkin again, it is the largest pumpkin in the F150 in front of me, I estimate that it weighs at least six or seven hundred pounds, have you ever seen such a big pumpkin before?"

Yan'er's observation is very keen, and following the direction of her finger, Jin Yang also saw the super big pumpkin, the big one is a little beyond the sky, that diameter, it is estimated that the two big men can hug each other, right?

Jin Yang grew his mouth, he couldn't believe it, the pumpkin could still grow so big?

"Cut, look at what you're fuss about, don't you see it? These are giant pumpkins, which are specially cultivated, and there were reports in the United States that a farm had grown a super pumpkin weighing more than 1,700 pounds, which is called amazing. And even that isn't the biggest thing. ”

Yan'er gave Jinyang a timely science popularization, so as not to embarrass him in the future, living in the United States, and not knowing pumpkins, it would be really embarrassing.

Duoduo also asked curiously: "Auntie, tell me quickly, why can the pumpkin grow so big? The pumpkins I've seen at home before are so small, can you eat pumpkins of this size? What are they doing? Do they sell pumpkins on the street? Does anyone buy pumpkins of this size?"

The little girl was very curious about this, she had never seen such a big guy, and she didn't know if such a pumpkin was delicious.

"Then I'll talk to you about science. Yan'er took the posture of an associate professor, cleared her throat and said, "These big guys are not for eating, but for playing." Can't think of it, right?"

Seeing her mysterious look, Jin Yang suddenly realized, "I know, pumpkin festival, right? I also saw it once when I was in Shanghai before, and these big pumpkins are used to make pumpkin lanterns, which is particularly interesting." ”

He slapped the steering wheel excitedly, causing the car to shake violently and startle Yan'er, "Are you going to die? Pay attention to safety when driving, it's too unreliable." What's the surprise in mind now? ”

Duoduo clapped his little hands in surprise and said, "Pumpkin lanterns, is it fun? Uncle, Duoduo also wants a big pumpkin, and he also wants to make a big lantern." ”

The villain's idea is very simple, how can such a fun thing be without her? When the time comes, make a super big lantern, and the friends will definitely envy her.

Jin Yang is honest now, not making a fuss, driving the car seriously, and replied, "Okay, when the time comes, my uncle will help you make a super big lantern, now sit down honestly, don't move."

The pumpkin festival in North America is also a festival for children. As a traditional festival in North American countries, the pumpkin festival is held on October 31 every year.

On this day, people make colorful jack-o-lanterns, taste a variety of pumpkin pastries, and hold a pumpkin king competition. People in the city bring in large pumpkins from faraway places in large containers and hollow out them to make jack-o'-lanterns, always hoping to break the Guinness World Record for jack-o-lanterns.

Almost all American families have prepared for this day, and many farmers have cultivated large pumpkins in advance, some to sell them for a good price, but more in the hope of making a super large pumpkin lantern in order to win the championship of the Pumpkin King Contest and win honor for themselves.

As soon as the car drove into the small town of Edley, the three of them saw the crowds coming and going on both sides of the street, and on the busy streets, there were some fancy clothes hanging around, and the windows of some small shops were also full of various holiday gifts and clothes, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.

In front of the town's only supermarket, pumpkins of all sizes are also sold for people to buy and decorate their homes or make jack-o'-lanterns.

The people I saw on the road driving and pulling large pumpkins are the ones who supply pumpkins to these small shops and supermarkets, and they can make a lot of money by selling pumpkins at this time of year.

Everyone had a smile on their face to welcome the arrival of the festival.

Xiao Duoduo was completely attracted by those weird ghost costumes and beautiful jack-o-lanterns, and shouted that he wanted to buy them all home, and there was a kind of posture that would not stop until the goal was reached, Jin Yang coaxed for a long time, and promised to help her choose the most beautiful and peculiar costumes, so that the little girl walked into the kindergarten with satisfaction.

Seeing that the little girl finally entered the kindergarten, Jin Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said helplessly, "This pumpkin festival looks quite interesting, but why is there always a weird feeling, just like Children's Day, children play, right?

Yan'er smiled: "You haven't seen this, hehe, the pumpkin festival and Halloween are the same day, both of which are October 31 every year, and Halloween is November 1, but every year on the eve of Halloween, that is, Halloween, or the day of the pumpkin festival, is the most lively."

To celebrate Halloween, children dress up as cute goblins and knock on doors from house to house, asking for candy or trick-or-treating. At the same time, legend has it that on this night, all kinds of ghosts will also dress up as children and mingle with the crowd to celebrate the arrival of Halloween, and humans dress up as all kinds of ghosts in order to make the ghosts more harmonious.

As for the origin of the jack-o'-lantern, there is an interesting legend.

Legend has it that a man named Jack was a drunkard and a mischievous man. On Halloween, he set a trap to trap the devil in a tree, and he wouldn't let the devil come down until the devil promised never to let him live in hell.

After Jack died, because he didn't believe in God, he couldn't go to heaven, and the devil didn't let him go to hell, in order to help Jack find his way back to the world, the devil gave him a piece of burning coal, and Jack put this burning coal in a lantern he carved out of large carrots, the first "Jack's lantern", to help Jack find his way back to Ireland, but he never found it, so he wandered the world with the lantern forever.

However, it was eventually discovered that pumpkins were superior to turnips in terms of origin and carving, and pumpkins became a Halloween favorite. This is the origin of the pumpkin festival. ”

Halloween is mainly popular in the English-speaking world, such as the British Isles and North America, followed by Australia and New Zealand.

On the eve of Halloween, some large foreign-funded supermarkets will set up counters to sell Halloween toys, and small traders will also sell some Halloween-related dolls or models to attract the attention of young people.

Jin Yang said: "Isn't this similar to our Chinese Halloween Festival, we also have river lanterns, which are also very interesting, much worse than foreigners to make pumpkin lanterns? ”

"Poof. Yan'er almost didn't laugh when she heard this, "The customs are different in different places, why don't you say that burning paper or something is good for polluting the environment? Okay, don't worry about this, I came with me today, that is, I want to buy some ghost costumes and pumpkins, and some candy, ready for Halloween, follow the local customs, but Halloween is not good in the United States, and then those employees of the ranch will also prepare for Halloween, which will definitely be lively." ”

She hasn't officially celebrated Halloween yet, so it's for fun to be so active, and the ranch is so crowded now that it will definitely be very interesting at that time.

Seeing that she is so positive, Jinyang is also interested, and looks forward to the festival with a lot of names, whether it is called the Pumpkin Festival, or Halloween, Halloween or something, just have fun.

Parking the car in the open space near the kindergarten, the two security guards were instructed to protect a lot, and the two of them began to walk around this small town hand in hand, and slowly began to search for targets.
