Chapter 524: A bitter fruit

Views:

Facts have proved that the fruit of the talking tuberculosis tree is extraordinary, and it is indeed not comparable to ordinary fruits in the world. As far as its extremely unique bitterness is concerned, there is no other substance that can compare with it... After tasting this fruit Before the fruit, Chen Xian believed that the most bitter substance in the world should be ammonium benzoate acyl saccharide, which is the raw material of bittering agent in many daily necessities and industrial products. It only needs to reach a concentration of 0.003% in the solution to make anyone feel Unacceptable, so it has always been known as the most bitter substance in the world.

Chen Xian was lucky enough to taste the diluted liquid once in Yinshi. The concentration is not low, it should be around 80%. At that time, he was also curious about how bitter the most bitter thing in the world can be, but he licked it with his tongue... Chen Xian found it very ordinary.

Yes, very general.

The bitterness of this substance is definitely unacceptable to ordinary people, and even in the circle of aliens, few people can accept this extreme bitterness, but in fact, some substances that Chen Xian tasted are worse than benzoic acid. Ammonium acyl saccharides are much more bitter, such as the heart of some abnormal life, or the source of some abnormal virus with infectious characteristics. The taste of those things is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, so before Chen Xian tasted the pulp, He has always believed that he has a very strong tolerance for bitter taste.

Now he finally understood.

What is real "bitterness".

This fruit pulp can't be said to be the most unpalatable thing in the world, but it is definitely the most bitter thing, not one of them... After one bite, Chen Xian almost felt as if he was going to heaven on the spot.

"Is it so bitter?" Lu Yisheng didn't quite believe Chen Xian's words, because the fruit smelled temptingly sweet, but when he thought about it carefully, the boss never lied to himself... But in the end Lu Yisheng still Overwhelmed by my own curiosity.

He took the fruit knife from Chen Xian, and licked it curiously and cautiously.

The juice left by the pulp on the blade was so sweet that it was intoxicating, but soon this sweet taste turned into a bitterness that he had never imagined. In just a moment... Lu Yisheng vomited, the whole body His head was like a broken faucet, constantly spitting out the "food" he had just eaten today and hadn't digested yet.

Compared with Chen Xian's Lu-born life, it is much worse. After all, his physique is not as strong as Chen Xian's, and his tolerance to bitterness tends to be at the level of ordinary aliens. Without the slightest resistance, he vomited directly into a fountain.

Originally, Chen Xian was almost recovering, but seeing Lu Yi throwing up so happily, and smelling the sour smell in the air...

"Go away! Go away! Go to the bathroom!"

Chen Xian cursed angrily. Before Lu Yisheng could make a move, an arm made of parasites popped out of his shoulder. It was not only strong but also very malleable, and directly pulled Lu Yi The raw arm dragged him into the bathroom...

"Is there anyone else who wants to taste it?" Chen Xian asked palely, a faint look of anticipation flashed in his eyes from time to time, he just wanted other people to taste this wonderful taste, after all, only he and Lu Yisheng Tried it... It's not fair no matter how you think about it!

"No need, no need." Li Daosheng hurriedly shook his head and refused, with an embarrassed smile on his face, "Boss, you can keep this kind of good stuff, don't share it with us."

"We don't want either!" Xu Yanan and Mu He shouted in unison.

"I can try it." Xiao Budian seemed quite curious, because he is not a human being after all, so some substances that are extremely irritating to humans may not be harmful to him, and he might like them Woolen cloth

At this time, Mr. Skeleton also came over and looked at the fruit with great interest.

"I want to try it too." Mr. Skeleton said.

Hearing what they said, Chen Xian was not stingy, directly peeled off two pieces of fruit, and handed it to them expectantly.

"Try it."

Little Dot and Mr. Skeleton are both hidden foodies. After they have a complete and sensitive sense of taste, they are very curious about all "edible" things, although Chen Xian has already said that this fruit is very bitter. , but they still want to try, after all, they are not human beings, and many foods that humans cannot accept are delicious to them...

Of course, the pulp this time is indeed not delicious to them, not even the word "edible".

After chewing the pulp a few times, Mr. Skeleton's already extremely pale face turned paler in an instant, and after the little one ate the pulp, he retched directly... This was the first time he experienced What does it feel like to retch.

"Is it so unpalatable?"

Hua Huashu couldn't stand it anymore, and hastily pulled out his "legs" from the flowerpot, then walked to Chen Xian's side with a patter, and bent down as if to smell it.

"It's pretty sweet."

"Sweet fart!" Chen Xian resisted the urge to swear, pointed to the fruit in his hand and said, "This stuff is bitterer than Coptis chinensis! It's really not edible... By the way, does it have any hidden effect? ?”

"Maybe!" The Huaba tree shook its canopy a few times, and the rattling sound sounded like it was laughing, "My fruit is definitely not ordinary! You can feel the changes in your body carefully! Maybe you It's stronger now!"

Listening to the words of the tuberculosis tree with such certainty, Chen Xian and the others believed it a little bit, and even Lu Yisheng ran out of the bathroom wiping his mouth...

"Are you full?" Li Daosheng glanced at Lu Yisheng.

"Well, eat... Do you believe that I ate your head?" Lu Yi was so angry that he wanted to kick up, but then he thought about it, he was not Li Daosheng's opponent in close combat. He is good at bullying others.

Damn, if you eat this fruit, you will become stronger, and I will deal with you in a while!

Under the leadership of Chen Xian, everyone sat up quietly in the yard, carefully feeling every change in the limbs, bones, internal organs, but the more they felt...the more they felt that the chatterbox tree was talking nonsense, it became stronger Damn!

"Are you sure you can make us stronger?" Chen Xian looked at Huabashu suspiciously.

"I'm not sure... I just said that there is a possibility... After all, not every one of my fruits can make people stronger..." Huabashu replied cautiously, "Maybe this fruit is simply eaten. It's more bitter and has no other effect... Are you happy?"

"I burned you, do you believe it?" Chen Xian asked calmly.

The chatterbox tree fell silent.

It looked at the people whose breath was becoming more and more dangerous, and decided to use its little brain to come up with a wonderful explanation to get itself out of trouble.

"Look, I used to have a fruit that made people have diarrhea, and a fruit that made people go into a coma for half a month after eating... Compared with those fruits, do you think this fruit is almost bitter besides being bitter? There are no shortcomings?" Hua Tongshu explained with a smile, "Actually, this is also a good thing. As the saying goes, the way of cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. You still have to work hard and don't do these whimsical things..."

"Boss, I'll go to the kitchen to get a barrel of oil." Lu Yisheng stood up silently.

"I have a fire here." Mr. Skeleton picked up a lighter from the table, which seemed to be born in Lu.

"Fuck, you wouldn't be so ruthless! You wouldn't really want to treat me like this, would you?" Huabashu was in a hurry, and took two steps back tremblingly, the crown trembled non-stop, and several pieces fell off Ye Zi, "Section Chief Chen! I am loyal to you! You can't just do it like this for so many years without credit or hard work..."

"We haven't known each other for a long time. To be precise, we have known each other for less than a year, and the fruit you have borne is already so bitter that I can kill my relatives righteously." Chen Xian replied blankly. road.

"Then you don't need to eat it. My fruit has a long shelf life. You can put it at home as a perfume bottle, and it may purify the air. Besides, the formaldehyde in your house will definitely exceed the standard not long after it was renovated. If it is purified You can make a lot of money with the function of formaldehyde!"

Hearing the swearing sophistry of the chatterbox tree, Chen Xian sighed, and finally took the lighter from Mr. Skeleton.

don't say anything.

Burn it.

It is quite cold to stay in the yard at night, and it can be used as a bonfire when it is burned. It is also very interesting to ask Lu Yisheng to do a belly dance.

"Don't burn me!!!" Hua Huashu couldn't hold back completely, and ran behind Xu Yanan and Xiao Muhe in a few steps, crying at the top of his voice, "I didn't mean it!! You are too unreasonable !! Eat my child and pick and choose!! I'm going to report you to the Bureau of Secrets!!"
