After lunch, Zhang Qian led two lesbians into the house to see the photos, while Liu Junhao pulled Pang Xu to play chess under the tree.

"Liu Junhao, look at those magpies, are they wondering? It's like a hot day gathering on the roof of your house. Could it be that there are insects on it... Look, what is the magpies holding in their mouths?" Pang Xu turned his head accidentally, and found a large group of magpies flying around the roof of the second floor.

Liu Junhao hurriedly raised his head when he heard what he said, "It's broken, I've been basking horse fruits for two days."

Maguozi vine is a relatively rare plant in Liujiagou. This vine looks very similar to a creeper. Its stems have tentacles at the ends and can be used to absorb and entangle other things. However, its branches are much thicker than creeper, and it is usually attached to tall trees or grows on steep stone walls.

Horse fruit is a wild fruit on the vine. It looks dark brown on the outside and inconspicuous. It is not very delicious when picked. It tastes astringent and sweet. It needs to be stored for a while before it can be put into the mouth after the water vapor has dissipated. Whether it is eaten raw as a snack or roasted in the fire. Of course, you cannot eat too much of this thing. If you eat too much, it will be particularly uncomfortable in the stomach and it is difficult to digest. There is another way to eat horse fruit, which is to dry it and grind it into powder, rinse it in water several times to filter the impurities. The remaining water is the essence of horse fruit. As long as it is precipitated for half a day, milky white starch can be separated. This starch can be made into "powder skin" to eat.

In the early years, when the food station in the town would go to the countryside to harvest horse fruits in summer, it is said that it was sold as "furry". The purchase price was very cheap, and in Liu Junhao's impression, a catty was less than two cents. However, at that time, people were poor and many people picked horse fruits. Every summer, the villagers would go to the mountains to find horse fruits with sickles and bamboo baskets. If they were lucky, they could pick more than 100 kilograms of horse fruit vines a day.

Of course, it is not easy to pick horse fruits, because the leaves of this thing are very strange. As long as people touch them, they will feel awesome. The more they scratch, the more itch it becomes. The scratches become more and more painful after being touched by sweat. People cannot stretch their hands and feet on the tree, and they will inevitably touch the leaves when picking fruits. Therefore, a vine picks them, and both arms are covered with red marks. In addition, this thing is usually too high, so people often sigh at the "vine". Later, someone took a method of fishing out of the lake, cutting off the horse fruit vine directly from the ground, and then pulling it off the tree with great force, so that horse fruits can be easily picked without climbing the tree.

This method is easy and easy. You cut me and I cut it too, and as a result, the horse fruit vines quickly decreased. When Liu Junhao was young, this kind of vine was everywhere on the mountain, but now it can only be found in some places where people are rarely visited.

Two days ago, Liu Junqi went up the mountain and accidentally found a horse fruit vine under a stone pedestal. It happened that the stone pedestal had a strong place on both sides, so the man picked hundreds of kilograms of fruit without any effort. After he got it back, he thought that this thing was a strange thing, so he sent a lot to Liu Junhao.

Zhang Qian was very interested when she first came into contact with this thing, but after tasting one, she shook her head repeatedly and said that she could eat it all for Wukong. But she knew that the monkey was also very picky in food, so she only ate one bite and threw the half into the basket.

Liu Junhao thought that it would be a pity if he had finally delivered it. Seeing that the weather was good in the morning, he thought about drying the thing into "skin" and eating it. Because he was afraid of being stolen by other birds, Liu Junhao specially sent his own Doudou to guard the roof.

Thinking of the calico cat, he hurriedly called to the rooftop.

"Meow" a lazy cat moan came from the shade of the tree, and the guy stood up and stretched, then narrowed his eyes.

This guy has lost his number at some point.

Liu Junhao couldn't sit still at the moment, so he hurriedly threw the chess piece and ran towards the roof in three steps in two steps. He hoped that the magpies would slow down their mouths so that they could still harvest some fruits.

"Boom" When the magpies saw the visitor, they all flew with their wings. One of them was very brave. Before leaving, they even took a pill in their mouth. It was a pill, and they ate and took it. Liu Junhao picked up a half brick from the side. But if the brick was thrown down and didn't hit the magpies, it would be a bad thing. In the end, he could only put the brick down with great depression.

"Is this Ma Guozi?" Pang Xu thought it was something delicious when he heard the name, but when he went to the roof, he was disappointed when he saw the actual thing.

"Don't be inconspicuous, you will know it's delicious after making the powder." Liu Junhao didn't eat this food for many years, but he missed it a little. Seeing that the horse fruit had been dried, he called him to come and help put it in the basket.

"Sun, this is so hot." The two of them had just been on the roof for less than five minutes, and their foreheads were sweating profusely.

Now Liu Junhao finally understood why the cat was distracted, and there was no way to stay in love.

When the fruit was brought downstairs, Xu Xiaoli and others came out to check when they heard the noise. They were not interested in the fruit, but were very interested in pushing the mills, and they all encouraged to push the mills in the village to grind the powder.

Liu Junhao almost fainted when he heard this. In this weather, he pushed the mills in the village, so there was definitely something wrong with his head. He shook his head repeatedly and said that he didn't want to go.

"We didn't expect you to push the millstone. The three female generals can't beat you alone? Besides, my husband has strength, right?" Xu Xiaoli looked back at Pang Xu. This guy immediately gave him a chicken blood, and excitedly showed off his non-existent biceps.

Sister, do you think this is a competition to eat snacks. Girls like them who can’t stand shoulders and can’t resist, it’s already great to be able to push the hollow mill in the future.

Everyone was interested, and Liu Junhao didn't want to dispel their enthusiasm, so he reluctantly followed. He had already made up his mind that if his wife didn't speak later, he would never do anything.

When he arrived in the village, Pang Xu put the bamboo basket on the millstone, and then blew in his hands for two breaths to prepare for the war.

"Slowly, I haven't used water to rinse the millstone." Liu Junhao called out urgently. Although the millstone was clean, there was definitely a lot of dust on it. He started pushing the mills directly, and there was no way to eat the ground starch later.

After the millstone was washed with clean water, Pang Xu was impatient to push the millstone and wandered around. He first came into contact with this thing and felt it was very fresh, so he asked Su Nana to help take two photos beside him.

As the stone rolls rotate, the horse fruits were quickly crushed, revealing the grayish-white powder inside. These were starch, but they also contained a lot of impurities.

When Xu Xiaoli saw that the old man was moving, she immediately picked up the brush and followed him to sweep it. The two of them really felt like a husband and wife were following each other.

Seeing that this guy was very energetic, Liu Junhao turned around and found a place with a shade of trees to enjoy the cool air, and was about to wait until he was dizzy before taking over. You should know that pushing the mill is just a circle. After pushing for a long time, people feel dizzy and can't use their strength at all. People with a slightly poor sense of direction can sit on the ground for a long time and feel their legs are weak.

Zhang Qian and Su Nana couldn't get in the way, so they stood over and rested.

"Uncle, bamboo raccoon...one dollar." Pang Xu and his wife were pushing hard, and suddenly a child who was muttering ran over, and the little guy was holding a fat little bamboo mouse in his arms.

"Hey, the bamboo rat is more cute than ours." Xu Xiaoli saw the bamboo rat in the child's hand, and immediately threw the brush and leaned over with surprise. She planned to buy it and be a companion in Liu Junhao's courtyard. The bamboo rat in her family has lost several pounds in a row these days. It is estimated that in addition to dietary problems, there is a great feasibility that it is too lonely.

"How much does this thing cost?" Pang Xu saw that someone was selling bamboo rats, and he also stopped his work.

"One dollar" When the little guy saw that there was a possibility of discussing business, he immediately handed the bamboo rat into Xu Xiaoli's hand, but he didn't recognize the birth at all.

"How much?" The couple didn't hear it clearly just now, and now they can't believe their ears after knowing the price. Is there such a cheap bamboo rat? They all feel that they have heard it wrong.

"One piece...or 50 cents... I'll eat candy." The child hesitated and the price actually dropped again.

"Little dd, do you know if you take the bamboo rat out and your family?" Xu Xiaoli asked again.

"Yes" the little guy said very happily.

"How could this thing be so cheap?" Pang Xu was still a little confused.

"Will there be many bamboo rats in the mountains? That's why the price is so low?" Xu Xiaoli speculated on the side. Last time, she seemed to have caught one without any effort.

"I'll ask Liu Junhao." Pang Xu always felt that it was a bit unfair to buy a bamboo rat from a child with such a small amount of money. After all, a mouse can be sold at a price of one yuan now.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Qian and others hurried over when they heard their call.

"Uncle Xiaohao...Teacher Zhang." The little brat shouted in a low voice as soon as he saw the villagers. This little guy is Ermazi's grandson and hasn't started school this year.

"What are you doing, a naughty kid? Are you not afraid of your spanking?" Liu Junhao twisted the little guy's face and then asked.

Before he could answer, Pang Xu had already spoken up.

"What, you are not moral, you are just giving someone a 50 cents?"

"It's the price this kid offers, don't you believe it?"

"Really 50 cents?" Liu Junhao turned his head and looked at the little guy.

"Well, 50 cents, you can buy me two bubble gum." The little guy wiped his nose and shouted excitedly.

It's really the Yangtze River's backward wave that pushes the front wave. This little guy knew to steal things from home when he was only three years old. Liu Junhao suddenly found it funny and deliberately took out 50 cents to hand it to him, and then said, "It's really 50 cents a piece... Is this thing worth giving you money to me?"

Afterwards, he turned around and walked towards the house with Zhulizi in his arms. Just as he took two steps, the little guy suddenly rushed to the front and stopped him and shouted, "Where are you going?"

"Why do you regret it again? You nodded and sold it to me just now. I want to take it home?" Liu Junhao raised his hand high, not allowing this little guy to reach it at all.

"It's not about selling... take photos, 50 cents!" the child explained anxiously.

When Zhang Qian and others heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they all burst into laughter. Especially Pang Xu, they almost laughed out loud.

This naughty child didn't say clearly, and Liu Junhao handed the bamboo raccoon over in awkward manner. (!
