Chapter 323 Moon-viewing watermelon picnic
Returning home, the chimpanzee was fanning its leaf fan and using his mind to control the oval green-skinned and black-striped fruits. He washed the dirt in the kitchen sink and then neatly stacked them in the fruit basket nearby. .
"Thanks a lot."
Luo Mu's eyes lit up, and he quickly ran to Zhihua Orangutan, gently patted the surface of the watermelon, listened to the "dong dong" sound that represented maturity, and looked at the fruit basket full of watermelons in the living room. I was filled with emotion.
Perhaps, this is the so-called watermelon freedom.
Even if he couldn't afford to squat in the toilet tomorrow, Luo Mu was determined to make a sumptuous watermelon feast for the moon viewing tonight.
Rolling up his sleeves and putting on his apron, Luo Mu called the Cangyan Blade Ghost who was silently practicing his sword skills outside the house, and immediately planned to show off his skills.
First thing to do is decide on tonight’s menu.
Since watermelon is the protagonist, it is natural to make as many different watermelon foods and drinks as possible.
The first is the most classic watermelon juice. The preparation of this is very simple.
Just take out the pulp, use a juicer to squeeze out the juice, and then remove the pulp and watermelon seeds.
Of course, if you like the taste of the pulp, you can also leave the pulp.
Depending on your personal taste, you can add some Three Bees honey for flavoring, you can also mix it with Moo Moo fresh milk or goat milk in a fixed ratio to make watermelon milk, or you can prepare some tea leaves and brew them into tea, remove the tea leaves, and mix it with watermelon juice. Blending it into watermelon tea that was sold in many milk tea drink shops before Luo Mu traveled through time.
With the Blue Flame Blade Ghost present, Luo Mu selected the watermelon and placed it in front of it. As the Blue Flame Blade Ghost completely restrained the heat of the sword, the Blue Flame Blade Ghost flexibly waved the sharp purple sword in the kitchen. After a while, the skin of the watermelon was perfectly peeled off, leaving only the attractive red flesh, and even the juice inside did not flow out.
Immediately afterwards, Cangyan Blade Ghost helped Luo Mu process nearly ten watermelons. The red flesh lined up on the kitchen table exuded the unique fruity fragrance of watermelons, which made people twitch their fingers.
But this was only the first step in the process. Luo Mu found another clean wooden barrel and placed it, put on a layer of filter cloth, and looked at the eager Zhihua Orangutan beside him, indicating that it could start moving. .
The Zhihua orangutan nodded slightly and waved his fan slightly. His telepathy instantly attached to the watermelon pulp, and he lifted it up and placed it on top of the barrel. As the Zhihua orangutan began to increase the strength of his telekinesis, the watermelon pulp was compressed inwards by the powerful force. , the juice continuously drips downward, blocking the watermelon seeds through the filter cloth, leaving only the purest watermelon juice.
During this period, relying on the ape's excellent control over his mind, not a single drop of watermelon juice fell on the floor, walls or ceiling of the kitchen.
In this way, Luo Mu, Cangyan Blade Ghost and Zhihui Orang divided the work and cooperated. One picked the watermelon, one cut the watermelon, and the other acted as a juicer to squeeze the watermelon juice.
In just two hours, dozens of buckets of watermelon juice were squeezed out on the floor around the kitchen.
Most of the food on Luo Mu's menu requires the use of watermelon juice. This is also the most basic preparation procedure and cannot be sloppy.
Next, Luo Mu took out the specially purchased popsicle molds, poured in the watermelon juice, inserted the wooden sticks, and handed them to the waiting Pokémon such as Monarch Snake to take the batch of popsicle molds to the ice cellar and hand them to Vulpix and the Sandan King couple were frozen.
Next is watermelon smoothie and watermelon smoothie. In order to make this, Luo Mu specially purchased several smoothie machines specifically for making smoothies. The Monarch Snakes who are about to return will bring some of Luo Mu's frozen ice cream from the ice cellar. After the ice cubes, Luo Mu began to demonstrate to the Monarch Snake and the Orangutan, teaching them how to use the smoothie machine.
Watermelon smoothie and watermelon smoothie seem to be just two words interchanged, but they are actually not the same thing.
Watermelon smoothie is a drink made by pouring watermelon juice, ice cubes, milk or yogurt into a smoothie machine and stirring it into a smoothie shape. The taste will be very rich.
The watermelon smoothie is simply watermelon + ice cubes mixed into a smoothie, without adding milk or yogurt. You can purely experience the cooling sensation brought by the smoothie, which is more suitable for cooling off in the hot summer.
After trying out two smoothies and smoothies, Luo Mu took out some Q-version molds, such as Q-version Pokémon in the shapes of Pikachu, Charmander, and Togepi, which were very cute.
This is a jelly mold. It is used to make watermelon jelly based on watermelon juice. Just pour an appropriate amount of watermelon juice into the mold, sprinkle in an appropriate amount of jelly powder or gelatine sheets, and finally pour an appropriate amount of water before sending it to the mold. Just freeze it in an ice cellar.
The operation is very simple, Zhi Hua orang even learned it after just one glance, and he can also assist Luo Mu at the side.
The last dish is one of the most common ways to eat watermelon.
Wash and cut watermelon and various fruits and tree fruits into pieces, then add appropriate amount of yogurt, honey or salad dressing according to taste and stir to make a delicious fruit salad.
Considering the herbivorous Pokémon such as budding deer, heavy mud draft horse, mount lamb and big milk tank, Luo Mu also prepared some vegetables, which can be mixed into a fruit and vegetable salad for them at night, which not only reduces fat but also tasty.
Luo Mu felt that these menus could almost gag the Pokémon, enough to dazzle them.
In the middle of the way, Frosty Milk Fairy seemed to be planning to make a huge fruit cake with Victini and the others, and also asked for several watermelons from Luo Mu. Luo Mu didn't care about it, just looking forward to tonight's surprise.
The preparations generally lasted until seven o'clock in the evening before they came to an end. Luo Mu, who had been busy for a day, supported his waist, which had been bent all day, to receive a massage from Zhihua Ape. Feeling comfortable, Luo Mu raised his head and looked out the window.
In winter the days are short and the nights are long, in summer the days are long and the nights are short.
Not only was the sky not yet dark at this time, but the sun even seemed to have not set at all, emitting a warm glow.
Luo Mu was not in a hurry and just went out. It would be better to wait until night fell completely and the moon hung in the starry sky.
After all, we have to go out for a picnic, so we naturally have to choose the best time to go out.
According to San Mao, who found the area, that place not only has a clear stream, it is almost completely open to the sky, and there is an open lawn where you can clearly see the entire sky. Recently, there have even been some small green bugs gathering there.
Luo Mu felt that the small glowing bugs that Sanmao saw were probably fireflies. After hearing the news, Luo Mu directly changed the original arrangement of having a dinner near the watermelon field and decided to gather at the watermelon field and go to the distance from there. Set out in the wild that is not too far away and have a picnic and watermelon banquet to enjoy the moon in the wild!
Enjoying Zhi Hua Orang's massage with suitable strength, Luo Mu also took a nap. When Zhi Hua Orang woke him up, the sky was completely covered by night, and the twinkling stars hung on this dark curtain. It was already close to night. Ten o'clock.
This time, all the Pokémon in Luo Mu’s farm were out in force, but considering that the farm must be guarded by Pokémon, Luo Mu divided the Pokémon into two batches, one to guard the farm and one to follow first. Follow him to watch the moon and starry sky. After a while, the two parties will exchange it and replenish the consumed watermelon dishes.
The perfect picnic spot discovered by Sanmao is about ten minutes’ walk from the watermelon field.
When Luo Mu and Pokémon arrived carrying large and small bags of food, they were stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of them.
On the quiet and gentle grass, the night unfolded like a picture scroll in the eyes of Pokémon such as Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat.
It happened to be a cloudless weather tonight, and the bright and boundless starry sky was reflected in the eyes of the two accompanying Hu Hu, as if the entire universe was displayed in front of them at this moment.
The fruit-gnawing worm looked up at the sky blankly. The stars were shining like countless shining diamonds inlaid on the black sky. At this time, the fruit-gnawing worm felt a desire to fly into the sky and get closer. The desire to watch this beauty.
But it can't fly yet, so it can only ask the tropical dragon to take it to the sky.
A bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting soft moonlight. Its light reflects on the grass and nearby streams, making every blade of grass shine with crystal luster. The streams also sparkle under the moonlight. , like a silver ribbon winding and flowing.
Mimikyu, Frosty, Twisted Dog, and Hua Huanhuan closed their eyes and enjoyed the light of the moon. As fairy-type Pokémon, they are inextricably linked to the moon, and can even use The move called "Moon Power" uses the power of the moon to attack.
In the grass on both sides of the stream, as Sanmao said, a large number of fireflies flickered with faint light, dancing in the night sky, as if they were stars falling into the world.
These tiny lights complement the starry sky and the bright moon, forming a beautiful picture.
Victini, Bai Pengpeng and Three Bees stared wide-eyed, not wanting to miss this dreamy scenery at all.
The night wind blew by, taking away a trace of Luo Mu's heat.
Watching the Pokémon activities, he smiled, and with the help of Wisdom, Monarch, and Swampert, he spread out a huge picnic cloth, took out a smoothie machine from his space backpack, and a series of other things he had already done. The prepared semi-finished or already sliced watermelon dessert drinks are beckoning Pokémon who are admiring the beautiful scenery to come and enjoy them.
Victini, Fruit Gnawing Bug, Tropical Dragon, Vulpix and several other immature children gathered around Luo Mu, Monarch Snake and Zhihuang, eagerly waiting for them to slowly turn the smoothie machine, extremely anxious. .
The Huchu siblings hid behind them and poked their heads around. They seemed to be very interested in watermelon smoothies and watermelon smoothies.
Just when a few Pokémon were about to start making trouble, Fruitworm and Tropical Dragon were glared at by Monarch Snake, and then they shrank their necks like quails and waited obediently.
Victini and Vulpix were startled by Luo Mu's kind eyes. Remembering that they had to rely on Luo Mu for food, they didn't dare to make any mistakes.
On the contrary, the Huchu siblings were very well-behaved. Although they looked at the smoothie machine eagerly, they never showed any impatience. They were so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed.
Annoyed by a few eager Pokémon, Luo Mu took out a few watermelon popsicles from the mold on the side, took out some watermelon jelly, put them in front of them, and sent them to play first.
You know, it is impossible to prepare hand-cranked smoothies and smoothies so quickly for dozens of Pokémon on the farm. After all, these two items are not popsicles and jelly that can be prepared in advance and can only be made on site.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t buy an electric smoothie machine in Pingdie Town. Even now, Luo Mu still doesn’t understand why there are no electric smoothie machines for sale in the huge Padiya area. Even if he made a special trip to Niangguang City, I searched all over the largest shopping malls and found nothing!
Although he had long known that the technology tree in the Pokémon world was very crooked, Luo Mu still almost couldn't stand it when it was so crooked.
If he had known better, he would have bought some multifunctional juicers. He remembered that one could not only make smoothies, but also milkshakes.
When he was tired from shaking, Luo Mu took a sip of the sweet watermelon juice to relieve the heat. His eyes followed the Pokémon playing on the grass, with a smile on his face that even he didn't notice.
After Luo Mu shook out another bowl of smoothie, Frost Milk Fairy came to Luo Mu and showed her signature smile of wanting to try something.
Although Frost Milk Fairy is still helping Luo Mu now, she spends more time improving her cooking skills and learning how to make desserts.
Luo Mu felt that it might give him some surprises, so he gave way a little bit and let the Frost Milk Fairy perform on her own.
Frosty Milk Fairy put some sugar, moo milk and a few drops of Guarana fruit juice into the smoothie machine in turn, shook it for a while, poured the slightly yellowish smoothie into a bowl, and then used her own ability to Make a layer of cream to cover the smoothie, and finally put a strawberry on top.
It seems to imply that the taste of this smoothie is like strawberry, sweet with a little sourness.
"Is this a creamy smoothie?"
Luo Mu's eyes widened and he looked at Frost Milk Fairy curiously.
"Mafu"
Frost Milk Fairy nodded slightly, and after sniffing the smooth ice, her eyes rolled around, and she handed the smooth ice to Luo Mu with a smile on her face, indicating to Luo Mu to taste it first.
Luo Mu was also curious about the taste of Frosty Milk Fairy's creamy smoothie with sour Guanan juice in it. He picked up a spoon, scooped up the cream and smoothie together, and quickly put it into his mouth.
In an instant, a simple yet substantial taste bomb exploded in Luo Mu's mouth!
The taste buds are first attracted by the taste of the sweet cream and the cold smoothie. Then, as the temperature of the mouth melts the smoothie, a just right sweet and sour taste perfectly blends with the sweet cream, creating a It has a wonderful taste that is neither creamy nor sour.
Luo Mu looked at Frost Milk Fairy in surprise, and the praise poured out from his mouth without hesitation: "Great time! Your taste combination is getting better and better!"
After receiving the praise, Frost Milk Fairy held her cheeks and was very happy. She took the bowl and spoon from Luo Mu and couldn't wait to take her new product to other friends to taste.
In a forest close to the mountain a little further away from the lawn, it was extremely quiet, with only a persistent sound of chopping.
There are no Pokémon activities in the quiet woods. The reason is that the Pokémon holding a pink and purple blade at the edge of the forest is constantly fighting with the imaginary enemy it simulated. The sharp blade in its hand is slashing at countless enemies. On the mountain with slash marks, each blow penetrated three thirds of the stone, leaving deep marks.
This Pokémon is the paradoxical Pokémon that failed to challenge the Blue Flame Saber and chose to practice alone, hoping to have a showdown with the Blue Flame Saber one day - Iron Warrior.
Since his failure in challenging the Blue Flame Blade Demon, the iron warrior has found a quiet place not far from the farm where the Blue Flame Blade Demon is, where he can hone his sword skills.
At first, there were some wild Pokémon living in this forest.
But after the Iron Warriors settled in, these Pokémon gradually disappeared.
Of course, the Iron Warrior did not take action against these wild Pokémon. It had no interest in swinging its blade at the weak unless the other party attacked and provoked it.
Just like when it was training in the wilds of a town with many caves, a Pokémon named Bankelas showed hostility and desire to attack the passing Pokémon, and the Iron Warrior directly killed the Pokémon until The opponent chooses to leave only after losing the ability to fight.
This time, the Iron Warrior was practicing deep in the woods, and the wild Pokémon chose to escape because they were afraid of its power.
This is just right for the iron warrior, so as not to disturb his practice.
Continuously waving the pink and purple blade, the iron warrior's mood, which should have been calm, was agitated by a certain existence.
This family, no, at least the current individuals, the source code instruction at the beginning of their birth is to explore the peak of swordsmanship.
The so-called pinnacle of skills naturally does not allow any defeat on this path.
But on that day, the defeated self should have lost the meaning and value of continuing to exist, but the Cang Yan Blade Demon let it fight again next time, and the purpose it lost due to defeat was once again imprinted on the maintenance of on top of the code it runs.
After that, in addition to replenishing electric energy, the Iron Warriors continued to practice every minute and every second using the Blue Flame Blade Demon in the database as an imaginary enemy.
But the more it practiced, the more irritable the iron warrior became. It had clearly figured out the sword skills that could defeat the Blue Flame Blade Demon 100%, but it didn't want to move at this time.
Once he really defeats the Blue Flame Blade Ghost, does it mean that the currently defeated individual has once again lost the purpose of supporting his existence?
In the iron warrior's heart, an emotion called "greed" was inexplicably born.
Just hearing a shocking buzzing sound in the air, the iron warrior waved his pink and purple sharp blade and split the boulder blocking the road into two instantly. When he stopped to adjust his breath, he suddenly heard some movement not far away.
The iron warrior, who was thinking about whether he needed to conduct some actual combat drills, looked up. The powerful data eye, like a high-precision camera, continuously magnified the location where the movement came from.
When he saw it clearly, the iron warrior's movements froze.
A Pokémon wearing dark purple armor and dual-wielding flaming swords was cutting an oval sphere with green skin and black stripes. Based on the opponent's characteristics, the Iron Warrior could conclude that the opponent was the individual who defeated him.
After glancing at the pink and purple blade in his hand, the Iron Warrior was in a rare downtime for a while, and then slowly walked in that direction.
Under the beautiful starry sky on a summer night, Luo Mu, who finally finished making hand-cranked smoothies and smoothies and let every Pokémon taste this summer-relieving weapon, finally had a little free time.
Holding a piece of watermelon that he specially picked, Luo Mu found Vulpix, placed the watermelon in a cool stream, and asked Vulpix to use the freezing wind to cool down the watermelon and the surrounding stream, and quickly made a piece of watermelon. Chilled watermelon.
Luo Mu approached the Blue Flame Blade Ghost again and asked it to help him cut the watermelon into two pieces.
Then, he handed the other side of the watermelon to Zhihua Orang who had been busy with him for a while.
Holding half a piece of watermelon, Luo Mu held a spoon and looked at the Monarch Snake who was sternly teaching the fruit-gnawing worm and the tropical dragon to learn grass-type moves. Luo Mu smiled, scooped up a large spoonful of the pulp with almost no watermelon seeds, and quickly Put it in your mouth.
In an instant, the original taste of watermelon exploded in Luo Mu's mouth, and he couldn't help but show an expression of enjoyment.
Looking up at the stars, Luo Mu sighed: "Although the processed watermelon dessert drink tastes very good, the original watermelon tastes the best."
Zhihuazang, who didn't use his superpowers but slowly dug into the fruit pulp, nodded with an expression of approval.
Although humans' various craftsmanship has allowed many ways to prepare different foods, for Pokémon like them, the original taste is also particularly attractive.
After admiring the starry sky enough, Luo Mu lowered his eyes and looked at the stream beside the lawn. At this time, the mosquito-repellent frog king and the mosquito-repellent frog king were playing in the stream. Four big milk cans and a fatter one were on the lawn. Rolling around, Victini danced happily among the fireflies like a child who had never seen the world.
It has stayed like this for an hour.
It can be seen that Victini must have never seen so many fireflies when he was in Aindok. Or he may not have seen fireflies at all.
"I said it has never seen the world before. In fact, I have never seen so many fireflies with my own eyes."
Before the time travel, it was difficult to see butterflies, let alone fireflies, in big cities. Even if there were, he was busy with 996 life and didn't have the leisure and time to pay attention to these natural beauties.
The night sky in the city is always covered by clouds, and occasionally the original appearance of the sky is revealed, but the twinkling stars are extremely sparse.
I don't know if it's because the night is getting darker, but the fireflies that were just like stars are getting more and more now, and they are already filling the grass near the stream.
Under the starry sky, the fireflies are like a second slowly flowing stream, as if they are the reflection of the Milky Way in the sky.
A light and graceful summer melody came from the distance. Perhaps somewhere in the grass, there were a few red insect players, playing their carefully composed melody under the moonlit night, expressing the emotions in their chests.
“It’s so beautiful”
In the quiet night, Luo Mu sighed, and the fatigue of a tiring day was completely healed at this moment.
The Roentgen cat slowly came to Luo Mu and lay beside Luo Mu leisurely, accompanying him silently from beginning to end.
Luo Mu's eyes followed Victini among the fireflies.
When he saw the stream, Ducky and Slowpoke, who were staring blankly at each other, also cast their dull gazes to the sky because of the gathering of fireflies.
Marylou, Lulili, and Yo-Yo Guangqiu lay quietly in the stream, feeling the breeze blowing from the night sky, and mesmerizedly admiring the beautiful scenery of the fireflies.
Time seemed to have completely stopped at this moment. The Pokémon who shared the sky and the planet with Luo Mu were admiring the beautiful scenery that they could never tire of and enjoying this peaceful moment.
The Roentgen cat looks up at the sky, energy flowing in its golden pupils. These eyes are not only able to see through, but also give the Roentgen cat excellent vision.
In the night sky it saw, the stars were even more colorful. Roentgen Cat remembered that Luo Mu had mentioned this Pokémon.
Their names are small meteorites.
A dark figure was tumbling in the night sky like a dragon. Even though it was far apart, the Roentgen cat could still vaguely feel the opponent's superior pressure.
But the Roentgen Cat did not feel afraid. It looked at Luo Mu, who was admiring the beautiful scenery and the free summer night melody, with soft eyes, and a trace of determination appeared in its eyes.
Just like the agreement we made when we first met.
Sooner or later, it will touch the unreachable legend in the sky.
