Chapter 781 Take You to My Grandma's House to Play in the Future

Hanging the camera around his neck, Guo Xiang picked a few pumpkin flowers.

An An ran over when she saw her mother picking flowers.

"Can you eat this flower, Mom?"

"Yes, but you have to cook it." Guo Xiang smiled.

"Then I'll pick it too." An An stood on tiptoe to pick a flower in front of her.

"Be careful!" Guo Xiang called out, it was too late, An An was stabbed by a small thorn on the pumpkin vine, and a red mark appeared on his hand.

Although the thorns on the pumpkin vine are not sharp, the child's skin is too delicate, and many small burrs pierce into the hand, which is still a bit painful for the child.

"Mom, it hurts..." An An raised her hand tearfully to Guo Xiang.

Guo Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt if my mother blows it."

Grabbing An An's finger and looking at it, he pricked some small burrs on it, Guo Xiang blew it, swept it with a handkerchief, and pinched the rest with his fingers.

"Okay, it's alright."

"Oh!" An An looked at her fingers, she was really fine.

"Sister-in-law, is this pumpkin flower also edible?" Guo'er asked, their family didn't seem to have the habit of eating pumpkin flower.

"Yes, you can make soup or fry it." Guo Xiang said that she had eaten soup in Guangdong Province in her previous life and thought it was delicious.

In some places, it is dipped in batter and fried, like Japanese tempura. Tempura can be fried with everything, and the fried things are very fragrant.

"Then I'll pick it up for you too." Guo'er said.

"You can only pick this kind of male flower." Guo Xiang showed one to Guo'er. "There is a small fruit under the female flower. It is going to grow a pumpkin. Don't pick it wrong."

"Well, I understand." Guo'er nodded.

Male flowers are mainly used for pollination, just like people, men and women can only have babies when they love each other.

Fruits in nature also require male pollen to enter the female flower for pollination to bear fruit, otherwise the female flower will drop even if it has a small fruit.

Of course plants don't move.

The task of pollination is mainly entrusted to bees, butterflies and other insects, and artificial pollination can also be done in the absence of insects.

Just pick off the male flower and put the pollen into the female flower, touch it directly or use a brush to stick the male pollen onto the female flower, whichever is convenient.

Like that kind of large orchard, many fruit farmers will also raise bees, pollinating flowers and collecting nectar at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

Otherwise, it would be too much work for a large number of fruit trees to rely on manual pollination.

The two picked a few more flowers, seeing that it was almost enough for one bowl, so they didn't pick any more.

After eating the cucumber, An Jin walked over to the beans and touched the long beans like chopsticks, "What is this?"

"Grandma just said it was beans." An An said.

"Ours is called cowpea, and this is what grandma's sour beans are made of." Guo'er said.

"Then let's pick some beans and go back?"

"Okay!" An Jin nodded, today's experience was very new to him, something he had never experienced before.

It's really interesting to know a lot of vegetables that I didn't know before and pick them myself.

Guo Xiang saw this and took pictures of them all.

Picked a large handful of beans and put them in Gu Zhennan's basket.

"I'm almost done, go back!" Gu Zhennan said.

"Okay!" Guo Xiang nodded and greeted everyone, "Let's go!"

As soon as she returned to the yard, An An called out, "Grandma, grandma, look at how many vegetables we picked!"

Mother Zhang came out of the room, looked at the basket, and said with a smile, "It's not bad, what did you pick, baby?"

"I picked a big tomato and a cucumber, but the cucumber has already been eaten by me." An An patted his belly and said.

Everyone laughed.

"It's hot, come and wash your face." Mother Zhang said, grabbing a washbasin and a bucket of water, and a new towel.

"We brought our own towels, don't waste your new ones." Guo Xiang said quickly, and took out the towels from the room.

Everyone washed their faces, "This water is really cool and comfortable."

"This is well water, warm in winter and cool in summer." Mother Zhang said with a smile.

"Where is the well, why didn't I see it?" Ping Ping exclaimed.

"It's over there!" Mother Zhang pointed.

"You can't play over the well, it's dangerous." Guo Xiang said hurriedly.

The wellhead here is open, and it will fall down accidentally. Although Guo Xiang encourages children to try all kinds of things, dangerous things are absolutely forbidden.

"I'll take a look." Ping Ping pouted.

"I'll take them there!" Gu Zhennan said, with him by his side, he would never let the children climb randomly.

A few people went to see the well again, and Gu Zhennan also drew a bucket of water from the water for them to see. Several children found it very interesting.

"Come, come and eat watermelon!" Mother Zhang called out, and everyone rushed back to eat watermelon.

A group of people sat under the eaves and ate watermelon, and An An sat beside An Jin.

"Brother Xiao Jin, do you think it's fun here?" An An asked.

"Fun!" An Jin nodded.

"Then let's come next time, okay?" An An tilted her head to look at him, "I told you that my grandma's house is also fun, and I'll take you there in the future."

"Okay!" An Jin smiled.

Guo Xiang found that the child An Jin smiled very well, but he usually laughed too little.

Yu Yan was also very emotional, as if she didn't know her son so well that she didn't even know what he liked.

I have to learn more from Guo Xiang.

After eating the watermelon, everyone washed the picked vegetables together, and then took them to the kitchen to cook for Zhang's mother.

"Yeah, I even picked pumpkin flowers, but I haven't eaten them before. How do I cook them?" Mother Zhang asked.

"I tell you!" Guo Xiang said, she doesn't know how to cook, but she has a recipe.

When the weather is hot, make a soup. "It's very simple. Just like making egg drop soup, boil the soup with pumpkin flowers, wait for the water to boil, beat an egg, then season it and sprinkle some chopped green onion."

"Will this pumpkin flower not stab its mouth?" Mother Zhang asked.

"No, although the back of the pumpkin flower is a bit thorny, it becomes soft after cooking, but it feels a little rough, and the taste is quite special." Guo Xiang said.

"Okay, then I'll try." Mother Zhang nodded.

Besides the vegetables she picked, Mother Zhang also killed a duck.

It's too hot to eat chicken, it seems to be too nourishing. Cook an old duck and winter melon soup, which is nutritious and cool to relieve the heat.

A large table of people eat together at noon.

Guo Xiang scooped a spoonful of tomato scrambled eggs in An'an's bowl, "Come on, these are the tomatoes that An'an picked by himself, how about it?"

An An picked up the small spoon and took a bite, "It's so delicious, grandma did a great job!"

Mother Zhang couldn't close her mouth with laughter, the little girl's mouth was too sweet.

There are also cucumbers, which are sour and spicy, especially appetizing.

The eggplant mother Zhang used it to make the eggplant box, cut it into two pieces, the center of the two pieces was not cut off, and then sandwiched the seasoned minced meat in the middle, coated the outside with batter and fried it in a pan, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Very tasty.

Several people have never tried this method and are full of praise.
