186 Prelude (1)
“Mingming, where did you get such a big pumpkin? Aiyo, put it down and let do it. With your body, it’s impossible for you to carry sothing heavy!” Second Aunt said loudly.
Gu Qingming couldn’t resist the temptation of delicious food and still brought out a pumpkin from the space.
She wanted to eat pumpkin cake.
She still used the usual excuse of buying the old granny’s pumpkin sowhere.
Second Aunt took the big pumpkin from Gu Qingming and turned it around. She looked at it and said, “This pumpkin is really big. It’s at least twenty to thirty catties. It looks really good. This pumpkin skin is smooth and red. The pumpkin flesh must be delicious!”
Gu Qingming’s eyes lit up as she said, “Second Aunt, I want to eat pumpkin cake.”
“Alright, Second Aunt will make it for you!” Second Aunt said happily. “Such a big pumpkin. On such a hot day, we probably won’t be able to finish it in a day or two. It will definitely spoil. Let’s make more pumpkin pancakes and keep them to eat!”
“Yeah.”
Grandma was choosing vegetables in the courtyard. When she saw such a big pumpkin, she said solemnly, “Darling, let us move such a heavy thing in the future.”
Gu Qingming nodded seriously and said, “Alright, I’ll listen to Grandma. In the future, I won’t move heavy objects!”
She thought to herself, “I’ll get more pumpkins from the space in the future.”
“Mom, Mingming said she wants to eat pumpkin cakes. I’ll get them in the afternoon!” Second Aunt glanced at the pumpkin again and chuckled. “Every ti Mingming buys sothing, it’s good stuff. We’re in luck again today. This pumpkin looks different from ordinary pumpkins. It must be delicious!”
Grandma glanced at the big pumpkin again and said to Second Aunt, “Second Aunt, cut two pieces of pumpkin and send them to the uncles. They’re old and have bad teeth. Pumpkin is suitable for them.”
“Alright, I’ll cut two pieces now and get Xiaoyu to send them over,” Second Aunt replied.
“I’ll send them off!” Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Third Sister-in-law is busy.”
She thought of how her eldest grandfather had actually sought justice for her at such an old age. She was very touched.
She knew that everyone here doted on her, but she did not expect their love to reach that level.
“Alright, go and send her off!” Grandma smiled.
Second Aunt took the kitchen knife and cut along the groove.
As soon as everything was opened, Second Aunt exclaid, “This pumpkin flesh is so red and beautiful. Yes, this sll is so fragrant!”
Grandma ca over to take a look. “The fragance is sweet. This pumpkin must be very sweet too!”
“Haha, the pumpkin pancakes made from this pumpkin must be very sweet!”
Gu Qingming couldn’t help but look forward to the pumpkin pancake.
“At noon, let’s make stead pumpkin and stir-fried pumpkin first. Tomorrow, we’ll make pumpkin porridge to try!” Second Aunt quickly arranged the cooking of pumpkins.
Gu Qingming was no stranger to the way pumpkins were eaten. However, the most common dish at ho was stead pumpkin and pumpkin porridge.As for stir-frying pumpkins, she had almost never had it before.
Two slices of pumpkin, each weighing about four to five catties were cut and Gu Qingming sent them to her grandfather’s house and her little grandfather’s house.
At noon, the people who had returned from work slled the fragrance from ho from afar and imdiately quickened their pace.
Recently, the food at ho had beco even more fragrant. It had raised their taste buds to the finding other people’s food difficult to swallow.
“What special dishes do you have for lunch today?” Shi Yaoqing asked anxiously as soon as he stepped into the courtyard.
“Stead pumpkin and stir-fried pumpkin!”
“So, it’s a pumpkin banquet today, right?”
