590.Too many pumpkins!

There are too many pumpkins in the ground.

No, to be precise, not that much.

At first, there was no special land allocated for planting pumpkins. I just planted a dozen or so pumpkins in front of and behind the house, and then planted some in the corners of the land on the mountain.

Ulan has no idea how much.

After all, if you find something like a pumpkin, you don't need to worry about scattering seeds in a wasteland, it will grow on its own.

It's not like other people's large-scale planting, where you have to pick the buds and remove the tops - you just pick the buds, and they all go into your stomach.

As a result, these pumpkins were very lively, 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 were too many knots on one vine.

I still can’t finish eating it in a while!

Without paying attention, many pumpkins were ripe and peeled off, and then began to rot in the ground. Fortunately, they were discovered in time, but they did not rot much, and they were still edible after being cut.

Just this is heartbreaking enough.

"Oops! Forgot!"

The old Song family was very upset.

It's even more pity for the seventh cousin - before going fishing, he wanted to pick some tender pumpkins for cooking, but he picked them instead, and ended up eating only a few meals and forgetting all the things!

This pumpkin grows as fast as the wind blows. Now half a month has passed and it has grown! Oh my, the tender pumpkin stir-fried is so delicious, how could I have forgotten it?

So he started to turn over the old pumpkin.

Pumpkin buns, pumpkin cakes, 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 do something else..."

The seventh cousin himself is tired of eating. As a chef, he has never had the same ingredient for several consecutive meals in decades! Flat peaches can't stand it! But there are too many pumpkins and they are too big. Any one of them is twenty or thirty.

Jin, a family of more than ten people can’t consume it!

Except for the excavator guy, who is new here, he eats three bowls of rice every day without any choice!

"Tantan, why don't you sell the pumpkin? It's still delicious." Wulan couldn't bear to waste food.

This means living in a corner with few neighbors, otherwise 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 Song Sancheng, Song Youde and others, they used to rely on pumpkins and sweet potatoes to survive the famine.

, now one or two meals are fine, but every meal makes my stomach feel burning.

It’s not that pumpkin is bad, it’s just that I was injured from eating it when I was young.

As a result, Song Tan stopped him - 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?

My fellow villagers, come and ask next time, do you want to give me money or not? If you give me money, 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 part with it.

This money.

Or Qiaoqiao asked: "Since we can't finish the meal, can we steam two and give them to the treasures? They are so cute that they eat the cooked pumpkin?"

If nothing else, it’s okay to kill just one of the king’s heads.

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? Cut up those rotten ones and feed them to you. This good pumpkin is big and delicious. Wouldn't it be a waste if you take it? Go ahead two

If I can eat pumpkins like this in ten years, I have to thank God in my dreams."

In fact, pumpkins are durable, so it’s okay to eat them every once in a while. However, 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.

As a result, this batch must be consumed quickly.

Everyone looked at the pumpkins piled up in half the room, and 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 eaten pumpkin for three days, why are I tired of it? They haven’t yet!

But Professor Song and his team were very clear about their positioning, so they didn't dare to say anything.

Yan Ran made such a move, Tang Xiaodong and others even had a paring knife in their hands - as for seventh cousin Song Sancheng and others, the peeling knife for such a big pumpkin was not as sharp as their kitchen knives.

"Tantan, bring a big dustpan and don't throw away the pumpkin skins. Feed the pigs later."

The seventh cousin still felt 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 am teaching Qiao Qiao - come Qiao Qiao, I will teach you how to dry pumpkin today."

I have to say that Professor Song and his team are really cheap and beautiful... ah no, it's really useful... that's not right!

All in all, they work really hard!

When it came to peeling the pumpkin, I moved a stool and hugged the pumpkin and started peeling it without saying a word. The whole family joined in and peeled thousands of kilograms of pumpkins cleanly in an hour.

As a result, the yellow pumpkins couldn't be piled up, so we had to spread the plastic skin and put the pumpkins on top.

But this is not an easy job either.

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 the kitchen knife kuakua just now. When they put down the pumpkin, they acted like nothing was wrong. Even Qiao Qiao didn’t feel tired.

, on the contrary, he was still cheerful!

So outrageous.

The four masters and apprentices looked at each other - weren't they trained in the fields? Why did the comparison seem useless?

Damn it, I can't find any advantage in the old Song family.

On the other hand, the seventh cousin was cheerful: "There are still more people and we can work more efficiently... Come on, come on, and slice the pumpkin again. Pay attention to how thick I cut it. Just do it like this."

There is no need to cut open the pumpkins, just cut them in circles. However, they are not as soft as expected, and they need a little more force.

Cutting into the big belly, handfuls of pumpkin flesh were exposed. The pumpkin seeds were all well-proportioned and plump. Wu Lan was attracted by it at a glance: "These pumpkin seeds will definitely taste good when fried!"

The seventh cousin also thought so, so he took a stainless steel basin separately: "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 and take out pumpkins... Finally, they cut a hole in the pumpkin circles and hung them on the bamboo where the cowpeas were dried.

Rows of shelves hang in the courtyard, which looks particularly satisfying.
