Chapter 590 590. Too many pumpkins!
There are too many pumpkins in the field.
No, to be precise, not that much.
At first, there was no special land allocated for planting pumpkins. In other words, a dozen or so were planted in front of and behind the house, and then some were planted in corners of the land on the mountain.
The specific number, Ulan cannot count.
After all, pumpkins will grow on their own without even sowing seeds in a wasteland.
Unlike other people’s large-scale cultivation, which requires picking the buds and removing the tops - the buds are picked and all goes into the stomach.
As it turned out, these pumpkins were very impressive, growing big, fat and long. Other pumpkins weighed about 4,578 pounds, but the smallest one in her family weighed more than ten pounds! There are many knots on one vine.
I can’t finish eating in a while!
If you don’t pay attention, many pumpkins will be ripe and fall off, and then start to rot in the ground. Fortunately, I found it in time and it wasn't too rotten. I could still eat it after cutting it.
This alone is heartbreaking enough.
“Oops! Forgot!”
The old Song family was very upset.
It’s even more of a pity for the seventh cousin—before going fishing, he wanted to pick some tender pumpkins for cooking, but he picked them instead. In the end, he only ate a few meals and forgot all about them!
This pumpkin always grows when the wind blows. Now half a month has passed, and it’s already grown! Oops, stir-fried tender pumpkin is so delicious, why did you forget it?
So he began to turn over the old pumpkin.
Pumpkin buns, pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, pumpkin rice, pumpkin stew…
It’s really delicious, but now everyone is being naughty. After eating a few meals, they raised their opinions: “Seventh cousin, let’s make something else...”
Seventh Cousin himself is tired of eating. As a chef, he hasn’t had the same ingredients for several consecutive meals in decades! Even the flat peach can't stand it! But there are too many pumpkins, they are too big, weighing twenty or thirty pounds, and a family of more than ten people cannot consume them!
Except for the excavator guy, who is new here, he eats three bowls of rice every day without any choice!
“Tan Tan, why don’t you sell the pumpkin? It’s still delicious.” Ulan couldn’t bear to waste food.
This means living in a corner, with few neighbors, so it would be reasonable to give the neighbors a favor.
Song Sancheng thought about it and planned to give it to the village - other people in the family were picky eaters of the same ingredients at most, but for people like Song Sancheng, Song Youde and others, they used to rely on pumpkins and sweet potatoes to survive the famine when they were hungry. Nowadays, one or two meals is fine, but every meal makes my stomach feel burning.
It’s not that pumpkin is bad, it’s just that I was injured when I was young.
In the end, he was stopped by Song Tan - the food tasted so good that the villagers ate it easily. What if a mature person comes to ask next time?
It’s not that people in the village like to take advantage, it’s just that Song Tan has confidence in his own food—it’s so delicious, there’s no way he’ll stop eating it after just one taste, right?
Hello fellow villagers, let me ask you next time, do you want to give it to your family or not? If you give it, if you give it this way, how can you bear it?
If you don’t give it, it would be even more inappropriate.
But if you ask for money, let alone whether it is appropriate to do so in the village, just ask for the lowest price of twenty-one pounds. Judging from the current consumption outlook of the middle-aged and elderly people left behind in the village, even if he drools and wets his pillow at night, he may not be willing to give it up. This money.
Or Qiaoqiao asked: "Since we can't finish the meal, can we steam two and give them to a few treasures? They love to eat the cooked pumpkin?"
The seventh cousin instantly became excited again: "Who said we can't finish eating? Come on, come on, peel them all for me!"
He groaned angrily: "Aren't there a lot of rotten ones? I'll feed you a few treasures with those rotten ones. These good pumpkins are big and delicious. Wouldn't they be a waste if you take them? Go ahead two If I can eat pumpkins like this in ten years, I have to thank God.”
In fact, pumpkins are durable, so it’s okay to eat them every once in a while. But the problem is that the pumpkin vines in the field are not old, and are even still growing. There are also some semi-tender pumpkins that are still growing on the vines.
In this case, this batch must be consumed quickly. Everyone looked at the pumpkins piled up in half the room, but Yan Ran took the initiative to roll up her sleeves: "I'll do it, I'll do it! I'm the best at peeling!"
I’ve only been eating pumpkin for three days. How come I’m tired of it? They haven't yet!
However, Professor Song and his team were very clear about their positioning, so they did not dare to say anything.
Yan Ran moved so much, Tang Xiaodong and others were a person with a hand -scorching knife -as for the seven cousin Song Sancheng and others, such a large pumpkin, with the peeled knife, has not had their kitchen knife.
“Tantan, bring a big dustpan. Don’t throw away the pumpkin peels. Feed the pigs later.”
Seventh cousin was still a little regretful: "Actually, pumpkin peels can also be used for cooking..."
As soon as he said this, Song Tan quickly said: "I won't eat! I've eaten this for several times!"
The seventh cousin snorted: "Am I telling you? I'm teaching Qiaoqiao - come Qiaoqiao, I will teach you how to dry pumpkins today."
I have to say that Professor Song and his team are really cheap and beautiful... No, they are really useful... That's not right either!
In short, they work really hard!
When it comes to peeling the pumpkin, I moved a stool and hugged the pumpkin and started peeling it without saying a word. The whole family came together and peeled thousands of pounds of pumpkins cleanly in an hour.
So that the yellow pumpkins couldn’t be piled up, so we had to spread out plastic skins and put the pumpkins on top.
But this is not an easy job.
Tang Xiaodong’s arms were shaking when he did the same action repeatedly and let go.
Let’s look at Song Tan’s family again—well, let’s not talk about how neatly Wu Lan and Song Sancheng were peeling the pumpkin with their kitchen knives just now. When they put down the pumpkin, they acted like nothing happened. Even Qiao Qiao didn’t feel tired. On the contrary, he was still cheerful!
How outrageous.
The four masters and apprentices looked at each other—aren’t they trained in the fields? Why does it seem so useless in comparison?
Hateful, I can’t find any advantage in the Old Song family.
On the contrary, the seventh cousin was cheerful: "There are still more people and we can work more efficiently... Come on, come on, then slice the pumpkin. Pay attention to how thick I cut it. Just do it like this."
As for long pumpkins, you don’t even need to cut them open, just cut them in circles. However, they don’t look as soft as expected, and they need a little more force.
Cutting into the belly, handfuls of pumpkin flesh were exposed, and the pumpkin seeds were all well-proportioned and plump. Wu Lan took a liking to it at a glance: "These pumpkin seeds will definitely be fragrant when fried!"
The seventh cousin also thought so, so he took a separate stainless steel basin: "Cut it first, and then bring all the pumpkin flesh here. The pumpkin seeds I saved a few days ago haven't been fried yet."
So this morning, everyone did nothing but peel and cut pumpkins. Finally, they cut a hole in the pumpkin rings and hung them on the bamboo where the cowpeas were dried.
The rows of shelves are hanging in the courtyard, which is particularly satisfying to look at.
Last night was really sinful... It seems that coding at night is still not possible (you have to stay up late to code at night, and if you stay up late the next day, you won't be able to write during the day if your head is not clear, it's a vicious cycle)
Come and update during the day! !
News in 2016, a pumpkin grew next to the pig pen, but it grew to 40 pounds and 98 centimeters long.
