The daily life of Yu Baibai's family after traveling through time

Chapter 155 Pumpkin Feast

"Baibai, what are you doing with this pumpkin?"

"I'm wondering how to use up all these pumpkins."

Pumpkin red bean rolls? Pumpkin bread? Pumpkin sesame balls are also good!

Then the whole pumpkin chiffon cake!

Oh my! Isn’t this new snack here?

Push out the wheelbarrow and load the pumpkins one by one:

"Mom! I'm going to the pastry shop!"

"Go ahead! Bring some of the new stuff when you come. I'm craving some."

"it is good!"

……

Yu Baibai pushed a small cart of pumpkins to the pastry shop, greeted the guard and entered the operation room.

"Auntie, peel the pumpkin, remove the flesh, and steam it."

Aunt Li came over wearing a mask and a hat and said, "It's time to make new products!"

"Yeah!" Yu nodded and went to put on a mask.

After everything was ready, I started working with the dim sum chefs.

They first press the steamed pumpkin into fine pumpkin puree, and then add flour, eggs, sugar and other ingredients.

Different techniques make different pastries.

The pumpkin red bean rolls are sweet and delicious, the pumpkin bread is soft and dense, the pumpkin sesame balls are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the pumpkin chiffon cake melts in your mouth.

Each pastry exudes a rich pumpkin aroma, making you salivate.

After all this was done, it took more than two hours.

Yu Baibai picked out some freshly baked cakes, packed them in a box, and prepared to take them home to Qiao Mu:

"As usual, pack a copy and send it to the academy."

"Okay, Master, just leave it to me!"

Yu Rumao is already twenty years old and has not yet married, which makes Yu Lao Da worried about him.

He likes to stay in the pastry shop the most, and now he is also the manager of the pastry shop.

After returning home, Yu Baibai took the snacks out of the box and put them in a basket to dry.

He turned around, got a pot of water and put it on the stove.

"Mom! Let's call grandpa and the others over for the pumpkin feast today!"

Qiao Mu was drying the back of Yu Baibai's quilt in the backyard and responded with a strained voice:

"Okay, prepare your things, I'll go call someone later."

"okay!"

After changing into home clothes, I rolled up my sleeves and put on an apron.

Now the yard is no longer empty as it was at the beginning. When you open the door, you will see a grape trellis that spans half of the yard.

At the end is a screen wall, and then after turning the corner and passing a hanging flower arch, you can see a small garden full of flowers.

Next is a large grape trellis with a large table underneath.

They often get together here, just like they used to.

Further to the side is a small pavilion with rolled-up curtains around it, which is very warm.

Yu Baibai’s favorite place is to lie in the pavilion, read picture books, drink tea, eat snacks, fruits, etc.

Of course, the story was written by Yu Yaozu, and the people here all wrote about the kind of stories that cheated decent girls.

Yu Baibai didn't like watching that stuff either. Three wives and four concubines, wives are not as good as concubines, concubines are not as good as secret love, secret love is not as good as not being able to secrete.

Pooh!

Yu Baibai started to get busy. He added some clean water to the pumpkin and milk in the space, poured them into the blender and left it to time.

Pumpkin milkshake!

Salted egg pumpkin! Wash and slice the pumpkin, blanch it in water for one minute, drain and let it cool.

Then I arranged the pastries and other things I had brought, and went to the small pond to catch some shrimps, preparing to make garlic shrimps.

At this time, the pumpkin is almost cool. Beat in an egg, add some corn starch and mix well.

Turn on the heat, heat the oil to 60%, add the pumpkin slices, and remove from the pan until both sides are slightly golden brown.

Put the crushed salted duck eggs into a cold pan with cold oil and fry until bubbles appear.

Now you can put the fried pumpkin in.

Stir-fry and season to taste!

Cutting vegetables, cooking...

Yu Baibai was busy and having a lot of fun.

A sumptuous pumpkin feast is ready.

It was dark at this time, and everyone who had gone into the mountains or into the city, in short, had returned home.

The family sat around the big table under the grape trellis, talking and laughing, having a great time.

Yu Baibai even specially left a portion of pumpkin cake for Qiao Mu, which made Qiao Mu feel very happy.

My daughter is also thinking about herself!

The whole family was sitting in the room. Yu Baibai sat next to Mr. Qiao and could clearly see the sparse white hair on the old man's head. She felt sad for a moment.

Looking up, I saw Mr. Yu was there too. At this moment, several of them were drinking wine and talking about what they had seen and heard outside.

Qiao Sen was the first to speak. "The girl was found. She worked for the Yan family's cloth shop in town. She was randomly arranged to marry someone, but she was a stubborn person. She secretly drove away in the middle of the night in her family's carriage."

Yu Yaozu asked in confusion: "Then why is she going to jump into the sea again?"

"Listen to me! That young lady didn't know the way. When she was driving the carriage, it got stuck just two yards from the beach. She couldn't ride a horse, so she just walked all the way with her luggage on her back. She lost her black luggage halfway through the journey, and she jumped out of frustration."

"After she was rescued, her family's servants happened to come with people and took her away directly."

"Have you sent a message to Xiaoyu?"

"I told you, Xiaoyu followed our carriage and met the young lady. We don't know what they talked about, but we only know that the butler gave Xiaoyu fifty taels of silver, and then we left."

Most likely, they are using it as a threat to extract benefits.

"We don't care about the rest. Is this really made of pumpkin?"

Yu nodded and said, "Yeah!"

Yu Xin: "You know what, it's delicious!"

The village head rolled his eyes at him and said, "That's white flour! It's all good stuff! It would be strange if it didn't taste good!"

Yu Baibai pointed at the pumpkin honey cake deliberately:

"Mr. Lizheng, there's a lot of honey in this!"

This is what Yu Baibai made after returning home, along with a large piece of honey pumpkin toast.

"Oh! These are all good things! They bring honor to our ancestors! Our lives are better now, and our people in the mountains..."

The village head didn't know how to start.

After a pause, he continued:

"The people in the mountains are having a hard time. I want you to think of a way to help them. If you can get them to come here..."

Alas, this is all he has in his life. He was reluctant to let them go when they separated, and now he thinks about them every day.

I can't let it go!

The older he gets, the more nostalgic he becomes. Their Yujia Village used to be a big family, but now it is scattered after fleeing famine.

Ugh!

Yu Yaozu understood the headman's thoughts, but this was not an easy thing to do. After settling down, he asked people to look for him there the following year, but they didn't find anyone.

They didn't dare tell the old man for fear that he would worry about it.

Of course, over the years, friends from all over the world have helped me find it.

Unfortunately, the world is so big, it’s not easy to find someone!

Even in modern times, when information is so advanced, it is difficult to find someone.

What’s more, nowadays people basically travel by walking and talk by shouting.
