161 Can Pumpkin Seedlings Be Eaten?
Li Hongmei had a swollen head that looked like a pig’s head and went to the town hospital to get medicine to reduce the swelling.
Along the way, the pedestrians saw her face and quickly avoided her. They shouted, “Aiya, it’s broad daylight but we’re seeing a ghost. It’s really scary!”
Li Hongmei was so angry that she scolded, “What are you shouting for? Who’s a ghost? You’re the ghost. Your entire family is a ghost!”
Some people didn’t care much about the ghost-like Li Hongmei.
But someone else was different.
When Li Hongmei scolded her, she scolded back.
“I didn’t say anything. Whoever responds is a ghost!”
“Don’t tell me you don’t allow people to talk about your appearance?”
“Tsk tsk, I’ve never seen an ugly woman.”
“Who’s ugly? Who’s ugly? My makeup is just smudged. Do you know that?”
“Hmph, don’t you only know how to put on makeup because you’re ugly? Otherwise, how many people in the countryside know how to put on makeup? Only people who aren’t decent will put on makeup. I think a woman like you is probably not decent. You put on makeup to seduce men!” the woman mocked.
“You’re the one seducing men!” Li Hongmei shouted guiltily. “I have my own boyfriend. Why should I seduce men?”
Along the way, Shi Bangqing was in a mess.
Where was the beautiful and gentle woman he loved?
Who was this woman with ghostly makeup and scolding like a shrew?
Li Hongmei had just finished arguing with someone when she realized that the man was looking at her with a strange expression.
She was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
Her image and true personality had always been hidden quite well in front of Shi Bangqing.
Who knew the facade she put on would be destroyed in a day?
She could not break up with Shi Bangqing yet. She still needed to stay in Stoneback Village, so she had to coax Shi Bangqing and restore her previous image.
Li Hongmei smiled.
However, it was fine if she did not smile, but when she did, it made everything worse. She was exceptionally hideous. Coupled with her ghost-like makeup, Shi Bangqing was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
“Don’t come over!” Shi Bangqing said in horror. “You… you should clean up your makeup first. You’re too scary!”
Li Hongmei was incredulous.
Li Hongmei found a place and removed her makeup. However, she quickly put on exquisite makeup again.
She had always been a beautiful woman in front of Shi Bangqing.
However, no matter how much her swollen face was made up, she could not conceal the ugliness.
After Li Hongmei finished applying medication at the town hospital, she kept asking about the Shi family on the way to the county.
She reasoned, “Aren’t I going to stay in Stoneback Village with you in the future? We shouldn’t let something like today happen again and offend others. So, I still have to understand their family, right?”
Shi Bangqing thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Therefore, he introduced the Shi family to Li Hongmei.
…
Gu Qingming naturally did not know that someone was targeting her uncles or brothers.
At this moment, she was looking at the pumpkin seedlings that had been planted in the space.
The moment Gu Qingming entered the space, she noticed a patch of green.
She walked forward and saw the place where the pumpkins grew.
At this moment, the pumpkin had already grown to one to two meters long. It had no support poles and was only crawling on the slope.
The leaves were very large, as big as a bowl. There was fluff on the leaves and thorns on the stems. The stems of the leaves were also thick, thicker than a finger, and long.
“Is this a pumpkin seedling?” Gu Qingming was a little surprised. “The leaves are so big? And the vine seedlings look very big. How big will they grow in the future?”
Gu Qingming had only eaten pumpkins and had never seen the seedlings of pumpkins.
She had always thought that the pumpkin was a tree, just like eggplant and tomato.
However, eggplants and tomatoes grew on small trees, while pumpkins grew on big trees.
Little Kong nodded and said, “Yes, this is a pumpkin seedling. Pumpkins belong to the family of gourds. The stems and joints are rooted, and the leaves are thick. The leaves are wide and oval-shaped, and the quality is slightly soft. The veins of the leaves are bulging, and the tendrils are slightly thick. They are of the same gender, and the fruit stems are thick. There are ridges and troughs. When they mature, a pumpkin vine can spread for more than ten meters. A single straight plant can grow for more than fifty meters.”
“One can grow so big?” Gu Qingming was very surprised. “How many pumpkins can it grow?”
Xiao Kong said, “That depends on the management. If you want quality, it’s best to have one to three vine seedlings. If you want quantity, one vine can even grow 30 to 40!”
Gu Qingming looked at the pumpkin vine and asked, “How long will this grow in the outside world before it grows so big?”
She remembered that it was planted two days ago.
In just three days, it had grown so big.
Little Kong said, “Master, have you forgotten that one day outside is twelve days in the space? Three days outside is equivalent to more than a month in this space. They can naturally grow so big. In two days, they will bloom and bear fruit.”
At this point, it paused for a moment and said with a smile, “Master, I heard that pumpkin vine seedlings and leaf stalks are delicious. Why don’t you pluck a few and eat them?”
Gu Qingming asked in confusion, “You said this pumpkin seedling and leaf stalk are edible?”
“Yes, and pumpkin flowers. You can stir-fry them and eat them. They’re delicious,” Little Kong said. “Uh, I heard it from a human. Master, why don’t you try them?”
Gu Qingming had only eaten pumpkins and had never eaten pumpkin seedlings, pumpkin leaves, and pumpkin flowers.
It seems parts of a pumpkin can be eaten.
Gu Qingming thought for a moment and said, “I’ll ask Grandma first.”
Little Kong said, “The pumpkin seedlings and leaves here will definitely taste better than outside. When the time comes, Master, when you grab a handful and go out, you have to think of an excuse!”
When Gu Qingming heard this, she felt that the little fairy was gloating.
Could it be that her senses were wrong?
Gu Qingming asked suspiciously, “Kong Xingfan, your tone is wrong? Are you trying to encourage me?”
Little Kong immediately said seriously, “Master, what’s wrong? I’m serious, okay? I’m just guessing. You might not have eaten some before, so I’m letting you try it.”
Gu Qingming did not ask if Little Kong was instigating or serious.
She heard that pumpkin seedlings and leaves could be eaten, so she wanted to try them too.
Gu Qingming looked at the greenery and could not help but feel touched.
It was better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books!
In just a short period of time in the countryside, she had seen many people and things.
She experienced something unforgettable that she had never experienced in her previous life.
Gu Qingming touched her flat stomach and sighed softly. “Things have changed! When one chooses another path in life, it’s another ending.”
Little Kong nodded and said, “Yes, that’s right, Master. Best of luck! Tomorrow will be even better!”
