The little red pumpkins are like red lanterns, dotted throughout the valley. "How many are there?" The fat man and his wife Liu Yan opened their eyes wide and looked surprised. "With so many pumpkins, how many times does it take to pull a cart?
ah."
"Don't worry, it won't take a few trips." Li Han said with a smile. There are large carriages and ox carts on the farm, and the valley is not that big.
"Uncle Fatty has never seen the big world." Little Dudu said with his little mouth curled up.
"Tell me about the big things in the world, your fat uncle and I haven't seen any big things in the world." The fat man was despised by the villain, a little guy, a little devil.
Dudu raised his little head and said with a stern look on his face. "There aren't many pumpkins in the small ditch in the hot springs, and you can't even see the edges of the pumpkins in Uncle Colt's big ditch."
"You can't see the edge, you think it's a sea of pumpkins." The fat man said, obviously not believing it.
"It's true, Dad told Uncle Fatty." Dudu, the little guy, saw that Li Xiao didn't believe it, so he pulled his dad Li Han beside him. Li Han smiled, the little guy was full of showing off.
"It can't be true, right?" Li Xiao felt a little guilty when he saw Li Han's smile.
"That's right." Li Han said with a smile. "That valley has almost 5,000 acres, all of which are planted with pumpkins. When harvested, it's quite spectacular."
"Five thousand acres. One acre is equivalent to six acres of land in our country. So, 30,000 acres?" Li Xiao opened his mouth. "I'll go, man, your family grows so many pumpkins that the earth will be destroyed if they are eaten."
I can’t finish it.”
"Hee hee, Uncle Fatty was wrong again. None of the pumpkins grown by Uncle Colt are for eating." Dudu said proudly. "We only eat the pumpkins grown by our father."
"Hey, isn't there something special about this?" Li Xiao really aroused curiosity.
Liu Ming, Liu Xiaoxiao, and Liu Yan were also attracted by the conversation.
"Little guy, tell me, what's the saying here?" Liu Xiaoxiao, catching the little Dudu. During the pumpkin harvest, this girl was not here. She was curious and secretly thought that she must come next year to see the 30,000 acres of pumpkin harvest.
, that scene must be spectacular.
"Dudu don't tell sister Xiaoxiao." Dudu made a face at Xiaoxiao and ran behind his father. Who asked sister Xiaoxiao to pinch Dudu's cheeks? Dudu, we are all adults, so we don't want to have our faces pinched.
What about the little brat?
Li Han smiled, holding on to Liu Xiaoxiao, who was thinking about it, and waved his hand. "Okay, there are still some pumpkins here. Speaking of which, the most pumpkins grown on the farm are used to make jack-o-lanterns and pumpkin faces, that is,
Made for Halloween."
"Halloween, I know, are there really so many people buying pumpkins and carving pumpkin lanterns and pumpkin faces?" Liu Xiaoxiao still knows a little about the United States. Halloween can be said to be one of the major festivals in the United States. Halloween pumpkin lanterns are not included in domestic online pictures.
few.
However, Liu Xiaoxiao always thought that this was like the Chinese Spring Festival, with dragon and lion dances, lanterns, etc., only a few people were having fun.
"Haha, someone in the United States has conducted a survey and found that nearly 50% of Americans can make pumpkin lanterns and pumpkin faces, and more than half of Americans have made pumpkin lanterns themselves," Li Han said with a smile.
"Ah, there are so many people?" Not to mention Liu Xiaoxiao, everyone else knew for the first time that there were so many people in the United States making jack-o-lanterns. No wonder.
"It's not just that." Li Han said with a smile. "In many places, various pumpkin competitions will be held during Halloween. Let's not talk about other places for the time being. But this year, Mising Town held pumpkin lanterns, pumpkin carving competitions, and pumpkin boats.
In the competition, tens of millions of pumpkins, big and small, were used.”
"so much?"
"This is really not a lot. Hank Farm alone has used more than three million pumpkins." Li Han said. "Some of these carvings have been purchased and collected by tourists. By the way, wait a minute. If you are free, you can follow.
Dudu went to the Pumpkin Warehouse to have a look, there are still many leftover Halloween works."
"I can't believe it. Three million pumpkins. No wonder we have to grow so many pumpkins." Li Xiao muttered. "But isn't this too wasteful?"
"Nothing can be wasted. During Halloween and Pumpkin Festival, Hank's Farm attracted more than 200,000 visitors a week and spent more than 20 million. During the entire Kemising Pumpkin Festival, it attracted more than 500,000 tourists from surrounding areas and the United States and other countries. Ten
In one day, the income exceeds 100 million U.S. dollars." Li Hanxiao said. "This income has given each farm a lot of income. The profits from growing pumpkins are no less than growing crops or raising livestock."
"Isn't this a big pumpkin festival even in the United States?" Liu Ming looked at Li Han, consuming tens of millions of pumpkins. There aren't many large pumpkin festivals like this in the United States.
"In the entire northwest, and even in the entire western United States, the Kemising Pumpkin Festival is considered to be the top pumpkin festival." Li Han said this with a little pride. You must know that the entire pumpkin festival was brought about by Hank Farm.
Hank Farm’s large-scale planting of pumpkins has led farmers in the entire Komi Star and surrounding towns to choose to grow pumpkins. A large number of pumpkin carving enthusiasts have been hired by Hank Farm to participate in the entire Hank Pumpkin Carving Competition.
The prize money for the champion reaches one hundred thousand US dollars, and the total prize money for other prizes is close to a million dollars. However, the Pumpkin Festival in Kemising Town was almost entirely supported by Li Han.
"Cow."
Li Xiao gave Li Han a thumbs-up sign. "Next Halloween, let's join in the fun. Man, I'll gather my classmates when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll entertain you," Li Han said with a smile.
"Arrogance."
"Okay." Liu Yan patted Li Xiao's fat hand. "Hurry up and gather the pumpkins. Didn't you say a big carriage is coming soon?"
"That's right, I'm just here to talk. Let's start working. I'll clean up here later and follow Dudu to see what the champion of the pumpkin carving competition is like."
"Okay."
"Oh, the pumpkins here are red and round, and they are perfectly round. It's a good sign." Li Xiao patted a few big pumpkins and said with a smile.
"This place is supposed to be a red round pumpkin, right?"
Liu Xiaoxiao muttered in a low voice, but Liu Yan glared at her, lowered her head, and muttered in a low voice, "Girl, please take the pumpkin to the hillside road outside the valley."
"I know, sister."
Liu Xiaoxiao responded reluctantly and picked up a pumpkin. "Oh, it's so heavy."
"It's quite heavy."
"I'll go, it's so heavy."
"Yeah, aren't these pumpkins solid?" Li Xiao hugged two pumpkins as big as basketballs and almost stood up. They were really heavy.
Li Han relaxedly held two big pumpkins and said with a smile. "The pumpkins here are suitable for carving. The skin and flesh are relatively thick, and there is basically not much heart."
"It's really a solid pumpkin." Li Xiao was speechless.
"It's not really solid, but it's quite thick."
"I'll make one later and have a look. By the way, Han, you can carve pumpkin lanterns, right?" Li Xiao looked excited, and it was not difficult to tell from this guy's expression that he was interested in carving pumpkins.
"Yes, I can." Li Han said with a smile. "However, I don't usually carve much. If you want to see it later, you can ask Dudu to show it to you."
"The little one can do that too?"
"Uncle Fatty, Dudu is not a little kid." The little man stood not far behind the Fatty, puffing out his little mouth and shouted.
"Ah, when are you behind me? Dudu, it's not a good habit to overhear what is said." Li Xiao was speechless, how could this little devil be so mysterious?
"Dudu was behind Uncle Fatty just now." Dudu puffed out his mouth.
"You, Dudu is always here, okay." Liu Yan really can't do anything to her husband, little guy, he's always not far away, really.
"Yeah, that's it. Haha, uncle has wronged you." Li Xiao said, picking up two big pumpkins. "Let's walk." He ran towards the hillside at a speed that was suspiciously fast.
This guy is really fat.
"Hahaha."
Dudu was amused. Uncle Fatty, it was so fun. When Fatty ran, the scenery was unique. Not to mention the others who couldn’t laugh, even Liu Yan, the Fatty’s wife, couldn’t help but laugh. “This man is really awesome.
"
Li Han smiled and shook his head, this fat man. "Okay, let's hurry up."
There is not much land in the valley, but there are not many pumpkins. With such a small number of people working hard, I really don’t know when it will be ready. Fortunately, the fat man called for someone to come.
