Chapter 14 The Umbrella
"You said this thing is called a pumpkin?" Wu Jiafan pointed at this thing, "Is it possible that this thing can be eaten?"

"You are so smart, this is a good food, delicious and nutritious. Tell me where you found it." Lotus asked anxiously when she thought of eating pumpkin.

"It's on the mountain!" He said proudly.The good-looking eyebrows are raised.

Seeing him like that, Lianhua knew what he was thinking, and it was better for a child to understand, her thoughts were written on her face. "Okay, Xiaobao, please take me to the mountain tomorrow to have a look."

Unexpectedly, when he heard it, he would explode: "Don't call me Xiaobao."

What kind of trouble is this? She called him Xiaobao out of kindness, to show friendship.Lotus didn't understand, "Isn't that what everyone in your family calls you?"

"No, the family members can't change it, you have to change it, my full name is Wu Jiafan, Xiaobao is too ugly." He also wanted to ask the family members to change it, but they were already used to it. The name took a lot of effort. Dad agreed to change it for him to have a decent name, and this was successful. Otherwise, mother would not agree, and asked mother not to be called Xiaobao. little treasure.

The lotus figured out what was going on as soon as she turned her mind, and said with a stern face on purpose: "That's not okay, the family members call you Xiaobao, why can't I just do it, see, it's because I'm just an outsider."

Seeing her sad expression, Wu Jiafan waved his hands anxiously: "No, you are also a member of our Wu family, well, call it whatever you want." There is a feeling that lotus is more difficult to deal with than his mother.

"real!"

"Ah."

After teasing Wu Jiafan, He Hua came to the kitchen with a pumpkin in her arms. Mrs. Zhang was preparing dinner, and she was very happy to see He Hua coming in to help. Not bad, so the attitude towards her is getting better and better.

After the lotus put down the firewood, she put the pumpkin on the table and said to Mrs. Zhang, "Mother, let's cook pumpkin porridge today."

Mrs. Zhang put down the work in her hand and walked over: "Isn't this something I lost?"

"Well, I picked it up. This is called pumpkin. It's very nutritious and delicious, and it's very filling. Let's try it today. It doesn't need any seasoning, just cook it in porridge." Lotus hurriedly Explain, for fear that Mrs. Zhang will disagree.

Mrs. Zhang didn't spend anything after thinking about it, even if she made it for her family, the porridge was indeed too little.Just nodded in agreement.

Lotus was so happy, Mrs. Zhang also agreed, let's see how it works, maybe she suggested making pumpkin cakes and selling them in the town, Mrs. Zhang would agree.

Happily drinking the pumpkin porridge in the bowl, the lotus is in a happy mood. Today's porridge doesn't need to see the bottom of the bowl directly. Because of the pumpkin in it, a bowl of porridge looks very thick, and the taste should be good. Look You can tell by the way other people drink porridge.

Lotus drank two bowls in a row, and finally burped. I used to not be able to eat enough at night. Brown rice can only be eaten for breakfast and lunch. I go to bed at night and don’t have to do anything, so I have to eat less. Save food.

After finishing the porridge in the bowl, He put down the chopsticks and said, "Mother, what's in the porridge today? It's really delicious. I've never eaten such delicious porridge."

Mrs. Zhang proudly said: "This is called pumpkin, but your younger brother found it. Otherwise, where would you get such delicious porridge?"

This Mrs. Zhang, obviously she was the one who told her whether the pumpkin was edible or not. Well, Wu Jiafan deserves all the credit, but he was the one who found it.It was also a big help.

He sneered and said, "So it's my uncle!"

"It was the lotus that said it was edible!" Wu Jiafan said after looking at the lotus.

Lotus laughed: "Yes, pumpkin is edible. It can be used not only for porridge, but also for soup. It is also delicious when made into pumpkin pie." Seeing that everyone was listening to her, she carefully suggested: "This way Yes, I have an idea, the pancakes made of this pumpkin taste really good, and they are not sold outside, I want to make pumpkin pancakes and sell them, what do you think?"

Everyone has no experience in this field, so it is hard to make up their minds, and they don't know whether this pumpkin pie will sell well.What if you lose money.It was Wu Shan, the head of the family, who asked for his opinion: "I think this is a good idea. We don't need to spend money on this pumpkin. It just needs some money for seasoning and some manpower. The loss is not much. Besides, Cuicui is about to lose money. After getting married, we have to prepare more dowry for her, even though they are the Zhang family, we have a high rank, but we also have to prepare more dowry for our daughter, so we can't make them look down on us."

Mrs. Zhou is very optimistic about this pumpkin pie, and agrees very much: "I also think it is the same reason, this pumpkin tastes so good, it must be a good seller."

Everyone else nodded, it was really delicious.

Lotus looked at the tree with only a few pumpkins and was speechless. It seemed that her plan to get rich was aborted again. There were only five pumpkins, which were not enough for the family, so where could she sell them.

Wu Jiafan's lotus stayed there silently, pushing her: "What's the matter, isn't this a pumpkin?"

"It's a pumpkin, but there are so few, how can there be enough to sell!"

When Wu Jiafan heard that she was worried about this, he thought that he could find this place as well as other things, "What are you afraid of, I will find other pumpkins."

"It's not as easy as you said." If there are so many pumpkins in this place, how could the villagers not know that this food is edible after a long time? , it just so happens that she knows this can be eaten.

Wu Jiafan also lowered his head. It is true that he has searched here these days and has not seen any pumpkins in another place, even more so before.It is estimated that it is difficult to find.

The lotus knocked on his head: "A man is not allowed to give up lightly. He has to cheer up. It doesn't matter if there are no other pumpkins. Only these few are enough. We can keep the pumpkin seeds. Soon after we go back to plant the pumpkin seeds Pumpkins will grow, and then you can make pumpkin pie."

"Really? Great."

"Come on, let's pick the remaining five and take them back."

The two began to pick pumpkins and put them in their baskets. Originally, Lianhua thought that she was an adult, so she should carry one more pumpkin no matter what.Who would have thought that the little guy would refuse: "I'm a man, of course I get three, you get two."

Looking at his persistent expression, okay, okay, she is not a little girl anymore, she is an older leftover girl.

They went back with five pumpkins. When Mrs. Zhang heard that only five pumpkins could not be used to make pumpkin cakes, she felt regretful. Lotus hurriedly told her that pumpkins can be planted for two seasons, and they can also be planted in autumn. survive.Only then did Mrs. Zhang become happy. Pumpkin cakes are actually secondary. The most important thing is that they will not be able to eat pumpkins in the future. When they heard that they could grow them by themselves, there was no reason to be unhappy.
