    ?

    "Ren Tao, let's go to your grandfather's house to play today." My mother said to me while eating breakfast.

    "Going to grandpa's house? When are you leaving? Is my cousin at home?" I haven't been to my grandma's house for a while, and I miss my grandparents and my cousin.

    "Let's go after dinner. Eat first"

    "Grandma, do you like noodles?" I asked suddenly.

    "It's okay, I didn't like to eat it very much before, and I'll be fine in the past two years. Why did you ask this all of a sudden?" Grandma asked suspiciously.

    "Oh, I went to Leshan before. Li Junkang and his family have a noodle making machine. The people nearby use a sieve to carry a lot of wheat to make flour and press dried noodles."

    "Oh, you said Leshan. The people there like to eat noodles,

    They can eat noodles for three meals a day. Each family does not grow much rice, but there is a lot of wheat.  "

    Grandpa also answered: "That's right, and they don't eat noodles like us here, all kinds of seasonings, red oil and sea pepper,

    Zanthoxylum bungeanum, lard.  They are white noodles, put some soy sauce, but you must add vegetables when cooking noodles.

    Add a variety of leafy vegetables, and that vegetable will add more.¡±

    "One time when your eldest son-in-law went to buy that cold dish, he wanted to eat their pig ears.

    Just weighed the guy who knew a lot of money, but when he mixed the vegetables, he added a bunch of vegetarian vegetables in it.

    There are not a few pieces of ears, all vegetarian dishes.  It¡¯s not good to eat,¡± Grandma said while laughing.

    When it comes to mixing vegetables, my mother has the right to speak, and directly took over the topic: "Of course, their mixing vegetables are different, how is it like ours, red oil sea pepper, pepper, and various seasonings  It's so comfortable, it's easy to see.

    They are just don't be a pig, rattan vegetables, shredded carrots, I'll add a bunch for you.  It's not good to eat.

    And white salt and white taste.  "

    I'm actually fine, I don't have such a big feeling.  There are different ways of eating in different places, it mainly depends on whether the individual can adapt to it.

    I didn't expect to have breakfast, so I just said a word, but I ended up talking about so many topics, and I was quite speechless.

    After dinner, I went to Grandpa's house with my parents

    Arriving at Grandpa's house, the old cousin happened to be away today, and it is said that he went up the mountain with the aunt.

    Alas~ It's not the time to come~

    This bored me to death.

    My mother and grandpa and grandma had a good chat.  Dad was sitting on the side, listening to their formation and reading a book.

    "Grandpa, has it been a long time since my cousin came back?" I asked.

    "I should be back in the evening. When they left, they said they would come back after dinner." Well, my grandfather's answer completely made me give up.  It's not even noon yet.

    Besides, it's already night, what am I still doing here?  Why don't you go home and sleep?  It seems that I can't see the old watch today.

    "It's going to be night, I'll go back at night~" Although I don't want to say that being alone is boring, it's the truth.

    Grandpa probably saw that no one was playing with me, thought about it, and went back to the house.

    After a while, grandpa came out again, still holding a big machete in his hand.

    "My dear grandson, let's go, I'll take you to find something good!" Grandpa said heartily.

    I have a puzzled look on my face, this is another smile, another one with a knife, and I have to go out

    "Grandpa, what good things are you looking for~" I regained my energy in an instant, and hurriedly followed my grandfather all the way out.

    After arriving at the gate, my grandfather took me to look around in the nearby woods.

    "I'll make you a der (top), it's cold, you can play with der (top), it's warm"

    "Wow, grandpa, you can also be a der!" I really admire it!

    In my mind, spinning tops are only made by craftsmen on the street, and it is very difficult to make.

    "Well, yes, I made one for your old cousin before, and he said it was too small. It's not easy to play. This time I will make you a big one, and you can play slowly"

    "Then what are we looking for now?" As soon as I heard that I would make a big one for me, this sense of satisfaction made me want to stop.  But at the moment I don't know how to help my grandfather.

    "Find a bigger stump or tree root to make it easier." Grandpa replied.

    In this forest, there are many felled trees, leaving many stumps.  This trip is to find a suitable stump.

    If it is completely trapped in the ground, it will take a lot of time to get rid of it first. Where does grandpa have so much time?

    ?This kind of tree root, which has been dug out for an unknown period of time, cannot be used, it has been dried in the sun, it is too light, and it is not suitable for making a spinning top.

    The best thing is to find a tree root of the right size that has just been dug out a few days ago, but I don¡¯t have a grandfather who specializes in this area.

    It didn't take long for my grandfather to find a suitable main material.

    Use a machete to remove the long roots first, then remove the excess mud, peel off the bark, cut off the excess, and you will have the blank of the top.

    Go home with grandpa and put the roots of the tree on the ground.

    I quickly moved a small bench for grandpa, and stood aside and stared carefully.

    "Ren Tao, what did your grandfather do for you?" My mother asked curiously.

    "Grandpa said to make me a der that is bigger than the old cousin!" I said loudly.  I am very happy inside.

    "Being a der, you should be at ease!" After finishing speaking, my mother continued to chat with grandma.

    It was my dad, who moved a chair and sat not far from grandpa. Like me, he stared at grandpa curiously.

    "Hey, you like to talk too much, can I make you one?" Grandpa asked my dad funny.

    "What do I want, I see how I made it." Dad said calmly.  I don't know if I really don't want it or pretend to refuse.

    "Dangdang~dangdang~", as grandpa fell down one after another, the roots of the tree gradually became smaller.

    After cutting twice, my grandfather moved the root of the tree in his hand. As time went by, the place where the knife fell at the bottom has become sharp.

    After the embryo was formed, grandpa put down the machete and took a small knife in his hand.  Carving slowly.

    The spinning top has become more and more like the one sold outside.  The only difference may be that there is no color, which looks relatively simple.

    Of course, this top will not ring, but it will not affect its rotation.

    After smoothing the surface, grandpa put the spinning top upside down on the ground.  At this moment, a small steel ball suddenly appeared in his hand.

    After putting the steel ball on the tip of the gyro, take the hammer, and after a few "Dang Dang Dang", the steel ball is fixed into the tip of the gyro.

    "Okay, you can try it!" Grandpa handed me the top.

    "I don't have a rope" I whispered.

    "Oh, I forgot, right away!" After finishing speaking, grandpa went out again, and after a while, he came in with a branch, found a piece of shoelace, tied it to the top of the branch, and pulled it to confirm the comparison of the tie.  After stabilizing, he handed the whip to me.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
