When they finally got to the patch of long, orange squash, Elder Samuel quickly showed her how to harvest them properly, so they didn't get damaged. He then gave her a quick guide on storing them before having to head back to make sure things were going well with the traps.
Before he left, he promised to speak again with her soon and Serena agreed. He was a busy man running a whole village, so she didn't want to take up his time more than necessary.
Instead she focused on harvesting quite a few long, orange squash. She filled half her basket with them, the other half filled with other plants. Then she set to work filling up a basket from her subspace with them.
By the time she was done, it was mid-morning and she was tired so she decided to head back to the village. She wanted to try the new vegetable out and see how it tasted. For now, she'd make them roasted, but afterwards she'd try out Elder Samuel's suggestion to boil them.
