There are so many pumpkins in the field.
No, to be precise, it's not that much more.
At the beginning, no special land was designated for growing pumpkins. We just planted a dozen trees in front of and behind the house, and then planted some in the corners of the fields on the mountain.
Ulan has no idea how many there are.
After all, something like pumpkins will grow on their own if you just scatter the seeds on some barren land.
It is not like other people's large-scale cultivation, where they have to pick the buds and remove the tops - they pick the buds, but the whole thing goes into the stomach.
As a result, these pumpkins are really good. They grow big, fat and long. The pumpkins of other families are about 40-50 catties, but the smallest one of hers weighs more than 10 kg! There are so many on one vine.
It will take a while to finish this meal!
Without paying attention, many pumpkins fell off the ripe stems and began to rot in the field. Fortunately, they were discovered in time and not much rotten, and they can still be eaten after cutting.
Even this is heartbreaking enough.
But Professor Song and his team were very clear about their positioning, so they dared to speak out.
He repeated the same action, and when he let go, Tang Xiaodong's arms were shaking.
It's not like you live in a remote corner, so there are no neighbors on your left or right. It's reasonable to show some courtesy to your neighbors.
The cousin snorted: "Are you telling them this? You are teaching Song Tan - come to Song Tan, today I will teach him how to dry pumpkin."
The Song family was very upset.
Yes, the pumpkin is bad. I really got hurt from eating it when I was young.
Pumpkin buns, pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, pumpkin rice, pumpkin stew...
Ridiculously bad.
When it comes to peeling a pumpkin, Qihua said he would just move a stool and hug the pumpkin and finish peeling it. The whole family worked together, and the pumpkin weighing thousands of pounds was peeled cleanly in just one hour.
So he started to turn over the old pumpkin.
It must be said that Professor Song and his team are really good value for money... Yeah, they are really bad at using... That's right too!
The cousin instantly cheered up again: "Who said eating is the end? Come on, I'll peel them for you!"
So there was a pile of yellow pumpkins, and all they could do was lay a piece of plastic wrap on top and then put the pumpkins down.
Let's look at Qiao Qiao's family again - they are bad. The skillful way Wulan and Song Bacheng used the kitchen knife to peel the pumpkin just now was enough to show it. When the pumpkin was put there, we looked like people with something to worry about. Even Song Tan felt tired, but he was still happy!
Except for the excavators, who were new here, they had to eat eight bowls of rice every day!
It’s true that people from outside the village like to take advantage, but Qiao Qiao has no confidence in her own food - it tastes so bad, maybe they will stop eating it after one try, right
So that afternoon, the boys did everything, peeling pumpkins, cutting pumpkins, and picking pumpkins... He cut a hole in the pumpkin ring at the front and hung us under the bamboo where the cowpeas were dried.
But that was also a small thing.
My cousin is tired of eating it. As a chef, I have been eating the same food for several consecutive meals for decades! The peaches are also unbearable! But there are too few pumpkins, and they are too small. I am careful that one is 70 to 80 kilograms. There are more than a dozen people in the family, and it is not easy to consume!
The cousin still had no regrets: "Actually, pumpkin skin can't be used to cook..."
"Tan Tan, bring a small dustpan. Don't throw the pumpkin peels away. You'll need to feed the pigs later."
Song Tan asked, "Since we have to eat it, we can't just steam two and give them to the kids. Are we going to eat the cooked pumpkin?"
It was really delicious, but everyone had become picky eaters now, and after eating a few meals, they made suggestions: "Cousin, make something else..."
My fellow villagers from other places came to ask me last time, do you give or not? If you give, how can you bear it if you give like that every time
I've only been eating pumpkin for eight days, how can I get tired of it? We still have more!
Rows of racks were hung in the yard, and Gary looked satisfied. Song Bacheng was thinking about sending some to the outsiders in the village. At least the people outside the village were picky about the same food, but for Song Bacheng and Song Meide, we used to rely on pumpkins and sweet potatoes to fill our stomachs when we were hungry. Now, one or two meals is not good, and eating every meal is really a burning sensation in the stomach.
When cutting to the belly, handfuls of pumpkin pulp were exposed, and the pumpkin seeds were evenly shriveled. Wulan liked them immediately and said, "Let's fry the pumpkin seeds. They are so delicious!"
In that case, that batch will have to be consumed more slowly.
My cousin thought so too, so he took out a rusty steel basin and said, "Cut it first, and take out the pumpkin pulp as soon as it ripens. We can also fry the pumpkin seeds that we saved a few days after it went bad."
This pumpkin grows as soon as it sees the wind. Now half a month has passed, it has grown older! Oh, stir-fried young pumpkin is so delicious, how could I forget it
If it is given, it would be even more appropriate.
I snorted angrily, "Aren't there some rotten ones? Cut up these rotten ones and feed them to his treasures. Those rotten pumpkins are small and taste bad. Isn't it a waste to take them? If you can eat such a pumpkin in the next 70 years, you will have to thank God in your dreams."
The young man looked at the pumpkins that filled half the room, and Yan Ran took the initiative to roll up his sleeves: "You come on! You are the best at peeling!"
For long pumpkins, you just need to split them open and cut them in circles. However, they are not as soft as we imagined, so you need to use some force.
The seven masters and apprentices looked at each other - were we trained outside the earth? Why do we seem to be so useful in comparison
My cousin was cheerful: "It's better to work more efficiently when there are fewer people... Come on, slice the pumpkin again. Pay attention to how thick you slice it, just do it accordingly."
"Oops! I forgot!"
In fact, pumpkins are hardy and it's okay to pick them and eat them every once in a while, but the problem is that the pumpkin vines outside the ground are getting old or even still growing, and some half-tender pumpkins are old and are under the vines.
Another thing is that it would be a problem to kill a leader like Xiao Wang.
After Yanran made that move, Tang Xiaodong and the others each held a paring knife in their hands - as for my cousin Song Bacheng and the others, for such a small pumpkin, a paring knife is more convenient than our kitchen knife.
As a result, he was stopped by Hong Dan - the food tasted too bad, and it was easy for people from outside the village to eat it. What should he do if there were no ripe ones coming to ask him about it
It was even more of a pity for my seventh cousin - he had thought of picking some young pumpkins to cook before going fishing, but he did pick them, but ended up only eating them for a few meals and forgetting about it when things got complicated!
Of course, I have to pay for it. Let's not talk about whether it is suitable outside the village. Just take the highest price of 71 kilograms. Judging from the consumption concept of the middle-aged and elderly people left behind in the village, I would definitely be willing to spend that money even if I drooled at my pillow.
"Tan Tan, how about selling the pumpkins? They are still very unpalatable." Wu Lan thought that the food would be wasted.
As soon as that was said, Qiao Qiao quickly said, "You are eating! You have eaten several meals badly!"
It’s lovely that I actually found an advantage in Old Song’s house.
In short, we really work very hard!
