Chapter 7: Open durian

Views:

"Whoosh~" A durian covered in spikes tore through the air and hit the fallen leaves in the forest, just like a small cannonball.

The golden retriever was startled and ran away quickly. However, it looked back at the durian that hit the ground and ran over to smell it out of curiosity.

"Silly dog, go, go, go~" Li Shu climbed down from the durian tree like a golden monkey and walked quickly to pick up the durian that fell on the fallen leaves. A few dry fallen leaves were stuck on the thorns of the durian.

"Fortunately, it didn't break. It should be that the humus on the ground has weakened the impact. Let's go back and open durians." Li Shu greeted the golden retriever, and the thrush walked east. After walking more than ten meters, he couldn't help but say again For a moment:

"This grove is a little treasure house, right? This is a banana tree, and not far away is a coconut tree."

The banana flaps are very fragrant, short and thick, just like a baby banana, but the skin of the banana has turned dark yellow, and in the plates of bananas, the inner banana skin of some banana flaps has cracked, and there are a few misty little ones. Insects are flying around.

"The bananas are ripe too. Let's pick a few and take them back." Li Shu went up and broke off five bananas that were connected together, and then returned to the villa in the northeast with the golden retriever and the thrush.

Uncle Hai was grilling sea crucian carp. A strong aroma wafted out of the kitchen. As soon as he entered, the golden retriever rushed to the kitchen door like a gust of wind and squatted down happily: "Woof woof~"

"Huang Gou, wait a moment, don't worry, the food will be cooked soon." Uncle Hai held the chili powder bottle in his left hand and the shiny iron clip in his right hand.

Stab, stab~

Pieces of sea crucian carp meat were grilled until they were boiling with oil. Uncle Hai shook off the chili powder with his left hand. The fluttering chili powder fell on the sea crucian carp meat like red snowflakes. Then he held the pieces of sea crucian carp meat with the tongs in his right hand. Start turning over.

Stab, stab~

The spicy and meaty flavors mixed together to form a unique aroma. Li Shu couldn't help but sniff hard while eating strawberries in the restaurant outside the kitchen.

"It smells so good~" Li Shu stuffed a delicious strawberry into his mouth, chewed it while carrying the huge durian to the kitchen door, and said with a smile as if he was taking credit: "Uncle Hai, look, the durian I picked is so Big one! Open it up after you finish eating, the meat will be absolutely plump!"

Li Shu's face was filled with joy, and he was filled with pride while carrying the huge durian. He was happy to pick up something for free.

When Li Shu was in college, his monthly living expenses were only more than 2,000 yuan. Although this level of living expenses was better than that of most college students, life was still tight, so the durian that cost him more than 400 yuan when he was a sophomore made him happy. vivid memory.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

There was a sound of clinking spatulas in the kitchen, accompanied by the sound of sizzling oil. Uncle Hai put the grilled sea crucian carp on a plate. He looked back at the big durian in Li Shu's hand and smiled. : "So Xiaoshu, you like to eat durian? I knew there was a durian tree on the island before, but I couldn't stand the smell, so I wouldn't eat it."

"Uh... Then just let the durian spoil?"

"It's worthless anyway."

"Um... durians in Malaysia are very cheap?" Li Shu was slightly stunned and muttered in his heart.

The delicious food was served on the table, and the two of them started chatting and eating. Uncle Hai had been a chef when he was young, and his skill at roasting sea crucian carp was excellent. The roasted sea crucian carp was crispy and had a great texture.

"Haha, Xiao Shu, eat slowly and don't choke. If you like it, I will bake it for you later." Uncle Hai felt that his craftsmanship was recognized, and his eyes were squeezed out when he smiled.

"Woof woof~" The golden retriever was also rewarded with a piece of roasted sea crucian carp, wagging its tail and happily chewing the sea crucian carp. The dog's face was full of happiness.

"Chirp, chirp~" The little blackbird stood on the right side of the table and jumped. Its smart eyes moved with the movement of Li Shu's chopsticks. Watching Li Shu take a big bite, it followed suit and chirped, which was cute and adorable.

After finishing the meal and clearing the table, we took a short break and the plum trees began to bloom durians.

"Opening a durian is like opening a blind box, similar to a lottery. Before you open it, you don't know whether it is full flesh or shriveled flesh." Li Shu rubbed his hands, took a sharp knife and planned to make a small opening in the durian first. .

Uncle Hai stood on the right side with his arms folded, watching, and said with a smile: "It's quite interesting to open durians. Most of the ones that have plump pulp are jumping and jumping with joy; those that can't bloom, most of them are instantly depressed, as if they were mourning for their heirs."

Li Shu was slightly startled. Hai Shuzheng's little words were quite good, but "sang kaohe" was actually a more serious curse word.

It's like mourning a heir = it's the same as losing one's parents.

Click~

With a flick of the knife, the round durian opened like an enlarged version of the mandala fruit.

"More pulp, more pulp." Li Shu's eyes widened, full of anticipation, and her heartbeat began to speed up.

Kaka~

Breaking it open with both hands, the huge durian fruit was instantly split into two, and two large pieces of yellow flesh larger than the palm of your hand were exposed to the air!

"Ouch!"

"That's great! It's simply great! I knew this durian fruit would definitely produce a lot of meat!"

"Haha." Uncle Hai was infected by the atmosphere, and he also laughed. From Li Shu, he seemed to see the shadow of his own youth, full of passion and vitality, and both of them had the surname Li, so he Looking at Li Shu is like looking at a nephew.

Li Shu's howl was so loud that it instantly startled the golden retriever who was squatting on the ground and dozing off. It scratched its paws on the ground and rolled and crawled away. Li Shu's face was covered with black lines.

In the end, he harvested 5 large pieces of plump fruit pulp. The durian meat tastes very good. It is soft and sweet, mixed with the fragrance of fruit wood. Plum tree ate it with big mouthfuls. When he saw the thrush staring at him blankly, he licked it like a mung bean. A large piece of durian was handed to the thrush.

"Chirp, chirp, vomit," the little thrush looked full of anticipation at first. When it got closer and sniffed it, its expression suddenly changed, and it backed away with a look of horror on its face. As it backed away, it opened its pointed beak and retched.

"Ugh~ vomit~"

"Okay, okay, it seems you don't like the taste of durian." Li Shu smiled stupidly with his big white teeth.

Early the next morning, a thick fog enveloped Neverland, the air was humid, and drops of dew slid down the delicate grass blades.

"Huhuhu~" Li Shu ran for 5 kilometers on the island. As he walked slowly, he looked up at the east sun. The heavy fog blocked only a hazy ball of light.

"This fog is really thick, and it makes Neverland look like Wonderland." Li Shu wiped the sweat from his forehead and slowly walked towards the villa in the northeast of Neverland.

Not long after finishing the meal, Li Shu took the ferry boat belonging to the swarthy man Li Sha and rushed to Danguan City. There were seven or eight islanders from nearby islands on the passing ferry boat, both men and women.

Everyone chatted casually, mostly complaining about the inconvenience of traveling, too low wages, too high prices, and too few fish catches, but Li Shu was in high spirits. He looked at the outline of Danguan City gradually emerging, and said in his heart: "Pearl , I’m coming~”

Thanks to "Yanan" for the 50 recommendation votes! I wish you good health, smooth work and a happy life!
