This is an essential ingredient for making Winter Melon Sugar.
"I won't take any sugar," Lin Xu said. "We have tens of pounds of White Sugar from the store piled up at home, and I'm worried it might absorb moisture and spoil."
He cut off a piece, less than half of the winter melon, and held it in his arms. Then, he grabbed some quicklime, ready to leave.
For his first attempt, he wanted to test the taste. If it turned out well, he'd consider making it in the back kitchen of the Fishing Platform later. That space was more generous, and the pots were bigger—much better than the small stove at home.
After only a few steps, Lin Xu suddenly saw a few old pumpkins in the fresh produce area nearby.
If winter melon can be made into sugar, then the method for making Winter Melon Sugar should also work for pumpkin, right?
He decided to give it a try.
After mentioning it to Uncle Yu, Lin Xu found himself holding more than half of an old pumpkin in his arms.
He drove back to the complex.
