"Grandma, do you have pumpkins now?"
During breakfast, Gu Qingming drank two bowls of porridge and ate two steamed eggs. She thought of the pumpkins in her space and asked her grandmother.
Grandma Shi said, "It's June and July now. Yes, we can eat pumpkins. There are two ripe pumpkins in the vegetable garden. I'll pick them up later and prepare them for you!"
"No, Grandma," Gu Qingming asked again. "Actually, I wanted to ask if pumpkin leaves can be eaten. I heard that pumpkin leaves can be eaten."
"Hehe…" Grandma said with a smile, "So my Ming'er wants to eat pumpkin leaves. It's not that pumpkin leaves are edible. Usually, we eat the petiole under the leaves. Remove the leaves and then pull off the outer skin of the petiole. After cleaning the petiole, you can stir-fry it and eat it. If you like spicy food, you can stir-fry it with chili. It tastes better. If you don't like spicy food, just put a few garlic pieces to stir-fry. It tastes good."
