Shuttle in the TV series

Chapter 37: Chapter 37

On this day, Jiang Yi finished his competition with the three Hengshan disciples and planned to take a rest at Tongfu Inn.

As soon as I entered the gate, I saw a big wooden shelf in the store, with a durian on it and a few antiques.

Everyone in the inn gathered around the shelf, pointing at the durians.

Jiang Yi wondered, "Hey, where did this durian come from?"

Seeing him explaining the origin of this thing, everyone couldn't help asking in surprise: "Xiao Jiang, you know this strange thing."

Jiang Yi nodded: "This is durian, a tropical fruit."

"Is this fruit?"

Everyone looked at the big durian full of spikes with suspicious eyes, and no matter how they thought about it, they couldn't connect this weird thing with the fruit.

Guo Furong squinted at the scholar suspiciously, and asked: "Xiu Cai, didn't you say that this is a root carving, a work of art carved from the roots of plants?".

In the morning, when Xing Tutou and Xiao Liu came to deliver the durian, Tong Xiangyu asked them what it was. Xiucai said it clearly and logically, saying that the durian was a kind of root carving, which represented the meaning of "benevolence".

The shopkeeper and Guo Furong were stupefied by him, but they didn't know that what Xiucai said was all nonsense.

Xiucai didn't expect that Jiang Yi would recognize this strange thing, and his lie was exposed in an instant. Hearing this, he couldn't help being embarrassed, hesitated, and couldn't speak: "This, this..."

"I'll settle the score with you later."

Guo Furong gritted her teeth and gave him a hard look.

Seeing Guo Furong's indignation, Xiucai only felt that his heart was broken, and he was talking nonsense in order to show his erudition in front of the other party, but he never thought that the end result would be counterproductive.

He covered his heart, with a sad, sad and mournful expression on his face, and murmured in a daze: "Perhaps, this is love. It's so sweet, yet so bitter..."

Everyone ignored his sigh of vicissitudes and was still paying attention to the durian.

Tong Xiangyu looked at the durian covered with thorns hesitantly, and asked, "How should I eat this thing? Should I peel it, or eat it with the thorns? Will it pierce my mouth?"

Guo Furong also tilted her head and looked back and forth, studying how to eat the durian.

"Cut it open and eat it. The outer layer of spikes is the shell. If you cut the shell, you can eat the meat inside." Jiang Yi explained.

Guo Furong clapped her hands, looked at Tong Xiangyu triumphantly and shouted: "I told you that this is a local product and is for food, but you still don't believe me. I even bought this broken shelf for two taels of silver to put it on. Now I know it hurts." Bar."

Tong Xiangyu looked at her self-satisfied appearance, and said helplessly: "All right, all right, you're amazing, let's go."

Bai Zhantang also complained, and said, "I also spent fifty renminbi to buy some antiques to set off the cultural atmosphere of this thing."

As he spoke, he pointed to the porcelain and wine cups beside the durians.

Tong Xiangyu rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily, "Even you don't look at me."

Bai Zhantang looked at her sad eyes, and quickly changed the subject: "It's a good thing, Xiao Jiang, you are well-informed, otherwise, this thing will definitely go bad after two days."

Guo Furong shook her head: "I think it's already rotten. When I was cleaning the shelves just now, I could smell the stench."

"Then let's throw it away quickly, lest it will affect the guests' dinner." Tong Xiangyu said.

Jiang Yi stepped forward to have a look, and found that the durian was still fresh, and the so-called smell was just the smell of the durian itself, so he said:

"It shouldn't be bad, and it can still be eaten. Go get a knife and cut it open."

"I'm going to get the knife." Bai Zhantang said, and ran into the kitchen.

When Bai Zhantang came out, Dazui also followed, asking, "What is this for?"

Once encountering something related to eating, Dazui's reaction is extremely sensitive.

"Don't worry, you won't be left behind if you have something to eat." Jiang Yi said, took the knife from Bai Zhantang's hand, and cut the durian open with two clicks.

Suddenly, a "stinky smell" filled the entire inn.

Smelling this stinky and choking smell, everyone's face twitched, and their facial features crowded together.

Guo Furong covered her nose with disgust, and shouted, "What is this? It smells so bad, so it can't be poisonous."

Hearing that it might be poisonous, everyone took a few steps back in unison, hiding behind the counter, and moved in unison.

Seeing that Jiang Yi was still in place, Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but said, "Xiao Jiang, you must admit that you're mistaken, is such a stinky thing really edible?"

"Don't worry, everyone, this stuff is not poisonous. Besides, this stuff is similar to stinky tofu. It doesn't smell very good, but it tastes good."

Jiang Yi explained with a smile.

As he spoke, he took a knife and cut off a piece of flesh, put it in his mouth and ate it, with an expression of enjoyment.

Seeing how delicious he was, everyone approached suspiciously. But looking at the smelly durian, everyone still dare not speak.

In the end, Dazui was the most obsessed with eating, so he cut a piece and started eating.

At the beginning, the big mouth was still a bit uncomfortable, and the expression was a bit ugly. After chewing for a while, I began to taste the sweet and heart-warming taste, and the facial features slowly stretched out.

Everyone stared at him in unison, and asked curiously: "How is it, is it delicious?"

Smash it with your big mouth, revealing the color of aftertaste: "Not bad, although the taste is weird, it is quite delicious."

After hearing the words, all the people believed Jiang Yi's words, and each divided some of the fruit and began to taste it.

Guo Furong and Bai Zhantang also ate with gusto.

But Xiucai and Tong Xiangyu were quite different from the others. They just put the yellow pulp into their mouths, and after chewing twice, their complexion changed suddenly, and they spit it out.

Tong Xiangyu's face was full of horror, and he shouted: "What the hell is this, you can eat it so bad?"

The scholar also nodded again and again: "This is definitely not a fruit, this thing must be poisonous."

Saying that, he rushed to the backyard and began to find water to rinse his mouth to clean up the remaining durian smell in his mouth.

Dazui looked at the two of them strangely while eating the durian: "What's wrong with you, I think it tastes good."

Bai Zhantang held a piece of durian and walked towards Tong Xiangyu: "Yes, why don't you try it again. This is a rare thing brought by Louzhi County. It's good to try something new."

Seeing him approaching, Tong Xiangyu smelled the stench again, and immediately shouted: "Take this thing away, it stinks to death."

Seeing how she and Xiucai were avoiding durians, Guo Furong couldn't help turning her eyes, took a piece of durian and rushed towards Xiucai, said with a smirk: "Xiucai, come quickly, this is the taste of 'benevolence' you said , as a scholar, shouldn’t you try it.”

The scholar was teased by her and ran away, screaming: "Don't come here, help me."

Guo Furong became more and more complacent seeing him, and chased after him even more.

She is a person who holds grudges. She was fooled by a scholar in the morning, saying that the durian was "Ren" to fool her. This account is not so easy to settle. Now that there is an opportunity, it is natural to rectify the scholar.
