Chapter 142: Winter Melon, Watermelon

What do we eat at night? The two of them wandered around the courtyard for a while, looking at the sky and thinking about making supper.

"Why don't you have chicken stew tonight?" Liu Junhao was busy for a long time in the afternoon, and he was also a little hungry, and now he was suddenly interested when he saw the little hens in front of the courtyard gate.

The last time I ate chicken was when Zhang's mother came to see her son-in-law, I hadn't eaten it for a month, but now I'm quite greedy.

It is said that the survival rate of the local chickens raised by ordinary farmers is quite low when they first emerge from the shell, and they are either sick or eaten by weasels and mice, and in the end they may not even grow into half.

Liu Junhao's group of chickens gave him a long face, and he has not lost a single one since he came out of the shell. And it's growing so fast, it's been less than two months and it's been half a pile, and it's completely ready to eat.

When Er Mazi came to buy yellow eels, he sighed every time he saw them, and said that these chicks were happy.

The chickens he raised at home are of the same root and ancestor as those in Liu Junhao's yard, but there is a lot of difference in size, and the color of the fur is not so bright.

"I still don't want it, it's a pity that these chicks are eating now, wait for them to lay eggs. Let's make winter melon and mushroom soup tonight, which can clear the heat and water. ”

It was winter melon again, and Liu Junhao suddenly cried with a sad face. He doesn't refuse to eat winter melon, but he can't eat it all at once. A few days ago, Zhang Qian didn't know who she heard that eating winter melon in summer can not only be beautiful, but also clear away heat and fire, so she changed the method every day.

Seeing that she was about to pick the fifty or sixty-centimeter-long winter melon by the pool, Liu Junhao hurriedly grabbed it and said, "This winter melon is kept as a seed, and it can't be picked." ”

Don't look at the yard just planted a few winter melon seedlings. However, the winter melon did not bear any fruit. And it's scary. It's almost forty or fifty pounds.

In this way, one winter melon can make the two of them eat six or seven meals. Liu Junhao is enough to eat enough land. In order to stop eating winter melon. He deliberately picked two and a half winter melons for Er Mazi's family. Yesterday, Zhang Qian also asked about the whereabouts of the winter melon field.

"Pick this. We'll be able to eat it all in one meal. Liu Junhao hurriedly pointed to a bowl-sized winter melon and suggested.

"This winter melon just grows. Let's wait a minute," Zhang Qian said and disagreed.

"Where is the ground that has just grown. It's been almost twenty days. Look at this imprint. Or the last time your nephew came, he cut it with a knife. "Zhang Qian, the second nephew, is a headache. The last time I came to the place, the yard was restless. After being stung by a bee, she gave birth to a noon. But when he was leaving, there was a moth. With a knife, he carved big characters on the noodles of several large winter melons, "Zhang Jianhui visited here"

"Not really. Why is this winter melon still so big? It doesn't seem to be long? "Hear him say that. Zhang Qian immediately recalled.

"How can they all be that big." Without waiting for her to object, Liu Junhao had already picked the winter melon.

"You go to the backyard and catch some river shrimp with a net, and then get some mushrooms to soak in them." Zhang Qian gave an order and began to get busy.

He had just taken the small net pocket off the wall, but he heard Zhang Qian shouting for him to come over and take a look.

"Look, what's wrong with this winter melon?"

Good guy, is this a winter melon or a watermelon, Liu Junhao was stunned when he saw this little winter melon.

It is covered with white ground melon pulps, but if you look closely, there are a few hints of reddish, and what is even more surprising is that there are a lot of black watermelon seeds inlaid in the melon.

This thing is the first time he has seen it, and Liu Junhao hurriedly called Professor Zhao to come and see the strangeness. As soon as they heard that it was strange to see, those bear children all swarmed around.

Professor Zhao was also amazed when he saw it, according to his statement, winter melon is easy to mutate, this should be the time of pollination of winter melon flowers, which happened to be pollinated by the native bee that just pollinated the watermelon, and finally the winter melon grew into a watermelon.

The hairy boy also deliberately tore a small piece with his hands to taste it, but soon spit it out and shouted: "It's not delicious at all, I eat a winter melon smell." ”

Yes, mushroom winter melon soup is not edible.

But this is also a rarity, Zhang Qian deliberately took a picture with her mobile phone, and prepared to upload it to the Internet for everyone to see after eating.

Now the eighteenth floor has become Liu Jiagou's propaganda position, and she and Liu Junhao have to send some photos to the top every once in a while. Not to mention, the effect of publicity is very good, and many people only know about Liujiagou after seeing these photos.

And the last photo of the butterfly cluster wonder was reprinted by many websites, and every time after the photo, looking at the envious praise of the netizens below, Zhang Qian suddenly felt a sense of achievement.

After dinner, she occupied the computer and chatted with Su Nana, while Liu Junhao found Pang Xudi's number and dialed it.

When I asked, I found out that this kid hadn't eaten yet, and he could really bear it if he ate two bags of instant noodles a day.

In fact, Liu Junhao is not very good at persuading, and the two of them talked for nearly half an hour before hanging up the phone, and I don't know if Pang Xu listened to it.

After eating in the morning, Liu Junhao asked Wang

Come to the key to the gate of the elementary school, and then lead the red rabbit to the playground and bolt it

When he came back, he had nothing to do, so he simply moved a chair and sat under the poplar tree and flipped through an idle book.

The sound of knowing from the branches resounded through the heavens and the earth, as if announcing the arrival of summer. He looked up with his book in the harsh sunlight, and saw a dozen people crawling on a branch the thickness of an arm.

Probably because the bark of this tree is very thin, it is easy to suck the sap, and I know that I like to stay on it.

The leaves are rather sparse, mottled shadows left on the ground by small emerald green leaves. The bunches of green seeds hung heavily from the treetops, and suddenly they looked a bit like unripe mountain grapes.

Although the seed is very beautiful, it cannot be eaten, and it is very bitter in the mouth. This thing is not very useful, and it is usually a child who goes to the tree to pick a few strings when he is making a sub-gun.

Liu Junhao used to play with the gun when he was a child, and it was made of a bamboo pole the thickness of a thumb. Remove the nodes at both ends of the embroidery knot, make a bamboo tube, and find another chopsticks to complete.

When the gun is fired, it is divided into two, blocked at both ends of the bamboo pipe and sealed, and then the chopsticks are aimed at the bamboo pipe and thrown violently, and a crisp sound of "pop" is heard, and the other end of the gun is knocked out.

Don't look at this thing as simple, but it also uses the principle of atmospheric pressure, and children will make a few sticks to play with each other at this time.

Two days ago, Liu Junhao had nothing to do to make one for Xiao Haoyu and Tongtong, who knew that these two little guys picked up the gun and bombarded the water ducks in the yard, and the chickens and ducks didn't dare to go back to the yard for most of the day.

It is said that it is 100 ~ 10,000 \ small! After a while, his thoughts ran away.

To say that he had a very comfortable life, he and Professor Zhao couldn't eat all the vegetables growing in the yard, and they gave a lot of them to the villagers. Not to mention those chickens and ducks, selling eggs and duck eggs sporadically is a lot of income.

His thoughts drifted farther and farther away, and he simply closed the book, half-lying in his chair and looking at his stone lock.

I haven't paid attention for a few days, and there seem to be a lot more soil bees inside.

All kinds of flowers in the stone lock are in full bloom, especially henna, which has now grown to the thickness of a small tree, and it is estimated that dozens of flowers have bloomed on the top of one tree.

"Hey, such a big lotus." When Liu Junhao's eyes swept over the spring water, he saw that a small bowl of lotus flowers had come out of the lotus flower.

The lotus flowers in his spring are quite enchanting, not only blooming more than half a month earlier than the outside, but also connecting the lotus canopy.

If you don't eat this thing, I'm afraid that you will be old, Liu Junhao picked off the heavy lotus canopy casually, and prepared to wait for Zhang Qian to come and eat it together.

"Wow...... Uncle Liu, this is a lotus pod, when did you pick it? Who knew that it had been less than five minutes since it was placed on the stone slab, and Ozawa and Tongtong ran in.

Definitely, looking at the eager eyes of the two little guys, Liu Junhao knew that this lotus canopy could not be kept at all, so he shared the food with the two of them.

Several people peeled all the lotus seeds, and then Tongtong began to distribute them to the three people. The little girl is quite fair, and the number of everyone is equal.

Peel off the green lotus seed shell, and the white and round lotus seed appears in the palm of the hand.

This thing is fragrant, crispy, and sweet in the mouth, and it instantly spreads out, which makes people feel refreshed.

Liu Junhao was smiling on his side, but seeing that Xiao Haoyu and Tongtong were staring at the lotus seeds in his hands, they were obviously unsatisfied.

"What are you doing, we were evenly scored just now." He didn't expect the two little guys to eat the lotus seeds so quickly.

"Uncle Liu, now let's go and see if there are still lotus pods in the lotus pond, can you help us get it right" The children are greedy when they are greedy, and they are addicted to the lotus seeds just now.

"No, I just looked for a long time and found one. What's the matter with you guys coming here, why can't you do it? Liu Junhao asked puzzled when he saw them holding a long reed pole.

"Catch the old man, catch and feed the chickens." Xiao Haoyu remembered what was going on, and he was about to hit it with a reed pole.

"Don't, you can only beat you like this, and I'll catch you." Liu Junhao said as he took off the small net from under the eaves and tied it to the top of the reed pole, so that the tool for catching it was made.

Don't see that the two eyes are quite big, but they are blind, and seeing that the net bag has been covered by the head, it still stops there motionless.

When he was thirty centimeters away from the trunk of the tree, Liu Junhao suddenly took a cover, and immediately screamed loudly and scurried around in the net pocket.

"Caught, caught!" The two little ones also ran over quickly, pinched off their wings and threw them into the iron bucket.

Under his leadership, the three of them fought from the courtyard to the woods, and more than 20 were caught in the iron bucket
