Chapter 202 Pumpkin Pie

"Thank you, Grandma Zhou." Huo Yun said happily.

"Huo Yun, let's go to the field and pick some more pumpkins. I think these four are definitely not enough." said the little fat boy who was following beside.

Uncle Ning said that the pumpkin was also very sweet, almost as sweet as the melon. The little fat boy liked sweets very much, so these four were definitely not enough for them to share, so he invited Huo Yun to go to the melon field to pick some more.

"Let's go," Huo Yun said.

Then several children followed Huo Yun to the pumpkin field one after another.

I made pumpkin rice for lunch and stewed a big pot of pork and cabbage with some chili sauce.

The pork was from a wild boar that Ning Jian and his men had hunted in the mountains. They only brought back half a pig to share with everyone in the house.

Ning Jian bought the chili sauce from the mall.

Pumpkin stewed rice with some corn kernels added in tastes really delicious.

Served with a whole pot of pork and cabbage, everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

In the afternoon, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Duan were preparing to study the method of making pumpkin cakes, and Ning Jian was assisting them.

Ning Jian had eaten two kinds of pumpkin cakes before. One was fried with glutinous rice flour, and the other was pan-fried with flour.

He shared both ideas with Aunt Zhou and the others, and left the rest to them to develop freely.

It’s a pancake anyway, so it should be similar to regular pancakes, except that this one has pumpkin added.

After struggling for almost half an hour, I finally finished making two pots of pumpkin pie.

Several children came over after smelling the smell and gathered around the pot, waiting for Aunt Zhou to bring out the pumpkin pie.

"Grandma Zhou, is it ready?" Huo Yun asked impatiently as he looked at the golden pumpkin pancakes in the pot.

It smelled so good that he couldn't help swallowing.

"I'll serve it to you right away." Grandma Zhou said with a smile.

Then she used a pair of longer bamboo chopsticks to pick up the golden pumpkin cakes fried on both sides in the pan one by one and put them on the plate next to her.

Now the work in the fields is almost done. Because the plants grow quickly, they only need to weed once or twice. So in the afternoon, except for a few people patrolling outside, the rest of them sit there waiting to eat pumpkin pie.

After Aunt Zhou served the pumpkin pancakes, several little kids each carried a plate and walked towards the square table. The kid from each family would carry the plate to that family's dining table and eat with the adults.

Aunt Zhou and her family fried one pot and put the second pot into the pot. Then, they stood in front of the stove with Aunt Duan and Mr. Duan, who was in charge of lighting the fire, and ate the remaining dish.

Although the iron pot is not small, it can only fry more than 30 pieces in one pot, so each person can only get one.

Huo Yun carried the plate back to the table where they had dinner. When he got there, he held up the plate and said to Ning Yan, "Dad, Dad, have some cake."

Seeing this, Ning Yan took the plate and put it on the table, then he and Huo Yunhe each took a piece and put it in their mouths.

Huo Yun and Ning Jing also climbed onto the chairs, each took the remaining piece and started eating.

"It's delicious." Huo Yun said with a laugh after taking a bite.

The pancake is still a little hot when it is fried, and it tastes delicious. It is also filled with sesame and brown sugar fillings.

The remaining three people listened to his words and nodded in agreement. The taste was indeed good, with a crispy outer skin and a soft and glutinous inner part.

I haven't had such snacks for a long time.

They fried a few more pots and sent some to the patrolmen, while the rest were dealt with by Ning Yan and his men.

At midnight, Huo Yan and Sui Feng put on their night clothes as usual and headed straight for the Shangshu Mansion.

The backyard of the Shangshu Mansion.

Mr. Sun switched shifts with someone else tonight, and he will be guarding the back door of the house at night.

It was now past midnight, and the Shangshu Mansion was quiet. However, due to the assassination incident last night, the guards in the mansion were much stricter.

Sun Fangfang and her mother were packing up in the room, but there was nothing to pack. Sun Fangfang didn't plan to take anything away. After all, they were all maids' things, and she looked down on them.

She only needed to take their money and change into dark clothes that were more convenient for walking.

After everything was packed up, Sun Fangfang took advantage of the guard change to put her mother into the space first, then she walked out of the room and went to the back door.

Perhaps what happened last night triggered a stress response, so the patrols tonight were stricter than before, and the intervals were much shorter.

Huo? avoided the patrolling officers and soldiers and quietly came to a location near the back door of the Shangshu Mansion.

Near the residence of the Minister of Rites, there lived officials of the same rank or one level lower than him, and the houses generally covered a larger area.

Huo? held his breath and hid diagonally opposite the back door of the Shangshu Mansion. It was not far from the back door. As long as Sun Fangfang came out of the back door, he would be able to see her at a glance.

After waiting patiently for about an incense stick's time, I saw the back door of the Shangshu Mansion opened. A head popped out from inside, looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, walked out.

Judging from his build, he should be a man. Huo? He remained patient and did not move.

Afterwards, another person followed out from behind. It was dark at night, and judging from her figure, it was a woman, probably Sun Fangfang.

Seeing this, Huo? moved closer quietly, then raised the pistol in his hand and shot at the shorter figure.

The one walking with Sun Fangfang was the mute. The mute was Spider-Man and had very sensitive hearing.

Since the space can only be entered and exited from one place, she needs the mute to help her explore the way, avoid the officials and soldiers in the city, and go to a safe place.

This safe place is the house that she paid someone to buy today.

As the two were walking, the mute suddenly noticed some noise behind him. He stopped and turned to look back, but there was nothing behind him.

Sun Fangfang, who was walking beside him, turned around and looked back, and asked, "Why..."

Before she could even ask what was wrong, she suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from her heart. The pain made her body stiffen in place. In just a moment, she felt that her breathing was not smooth and she even lost the ability to think.

Sensing the passing of her life, she wanted to enter the space, but after trying several times, she couldn't get in. At the same time, she felt that the space seemed to be disappearing, and the people inside seemed to be able to come out at any time.

The mute stopped listening halfway through. At the same time, he smelled a faint smell of blood around him, so he whispered "Ahhh" and asked Sun Fangfang anxiously what had happened?

At the same time, Huo's second bullet came again.

Perhaps Sun Fangfang's abnormality made the mute aware of the danger, so although he didn't know what happened, when he heard the strange sound again, he stood in front of Sun Fangfang without hesitation.
