Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Huang Zhong secretly took out another mask from his pocket and put it on himself.
Ah Duo jumped down from the tree and pointed at the golden and fat flesh of the stinky fruit. “Do you want to try it?”
Huang Zhong almost vomited when he smelled it. If he tried it, he would definitely die.
He shook his head firmly, his dark eyes filled with horror.
Ah Duo looked at him regretfully. She picked up a piece of fat and tender fruit and stuffed it into her mouth. The smooth texture was as if she was eating a thick ice cream cake.
Ah Duo ate two huge pieces of flesh in a row. Huang Zhong was shocked that she could eat such a terrifying thing without changing her expression.
Thinking that she was a local and might be used to the taste, Huang Zhong could then understand why.
It was not that he could not do it, but that he had not been trained since he was young.
A stinky fruit could usually produce three to six pieces of flesh. The stinky fruit was quite big. After eating one of the flesh, Ah Duo should be able to dig up a lot more from the fruit.
However, opening the Stinky Fruit was like stone gambling. If one was unlucky, there was not a single piece of flesh inside.
Ah Duo opened the seams on both sides to check. After confirming that there was flesh inside, she put it into the basket and returned.
As soon as they entered the tent with the stinky fruits on their backs, the uncles and aunties who wanted to come over and see what good things they had gotten again all took a step back. They pinched their noses and asked, “Huang Zhong, what did you bring back? It’s so smelly!”
The aunties echoed, “That’s right, it’s so smelly!”
“You’ve cured my nose that 1 haven’t treated for many years!”
Huang Zhong smiled. “It’s just a fruit. You can try it.”
They did not even have the desire to look at such a smelly fruit.
Hearing that Huang Zhong wanted them to try it, everyone quickly dispersed.
Fortunately, they had dispersed. Otherwise, the few mangoes under the durian would definitely have been taken away.
Huang Zhong originally wanted to tidy up his image before meeting Bai Wutong. Unexpectedly, the smelly fruit was so charming that it directly attracted Bai Wutong.
The weather was too hot. Bai Wutong was about to eat silky ice cream to satisfy her cravings when she smelled durian.
The texture of the durian was soft and smooth. In the refrigerator, it would become a natural top-notch ice cream.
Moreover, durians could be made into all kinds of delicious desserts, such as durian halberd, durian pizza, durian cake, durian crisp…
Before the apocalypse, Bai Wutong had been a loyal and fanatical fan of durians. Apart from the durian sweet that she could not accept, there was only one word for the other durian delicacies: Buy!
When she saw Huang Zhong carrying a big basket, her eyes lit up.
Huang Zhong was afraid that the smell would be too strong and Bai Wutong would be disgusted, so he hurriedly said, “Consort, I picked some fruits and will bring them to you later.”
Bai Wutong immediately said happily, “Thank you.”
She returned to the tent. Not long after, Huang Zhong, who had changed his clothes, came with mangoes and clean bird’s nest.
In modern times, mangoes are one of the most popular fruits in dessert shops.
When Bai Wutong saw the mango, she pretended to be surprised. “What’s the name of this fruit?”
She also liked mangoes very much. Canned mangoes, scooped mango, mango juice, dried mangoes… All of them were delicious.
Huang Zhong hurriedly introduced, “Ah Duo said that it looks like a moon. The locals call it a moon fruit.”
Moon fruit? It sounded pretty good.
Bai Wutong said happily, “It’s a little unfamiliar. Looks like we have to put it aside?”
Huang Zhong nodded with a look of admiration. As expected of Bai Wutong, she even knew this.
The bird’s nest was very precious to ordinary people, but it was nothing special to Bai Wutong, who had never stopped eating it since she was pregnant.
Huang Zhong did not bring the durian she was looking forward to.
Bai Wutong beat around the bush. ”1 saw that there seemed to be something else in the basket. What is that?”
Huang Zhong immediately explained, “It’s a local fruit called the Stinky Fruit. It’s too smelly. The Consort probably won’t like it.”
Bai Wutong was speechless. She liked it very much!!!
And she really wanted to eat it now.
Bai Wutong said calmly, “I’m a little curious. Can you let me try it?”
It was said that pregnant women’s taste would become strange. Since Bai Wutong took the initiative to try such a smelly fruit, Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment before he immediately said, “Ah Duo gave that to Priest Song. I’ll go back to the forest to pick another one now!”
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “It’s too dangerous for you to go alone. I’ll get someone to go with you.”
Huang Zhong thought of the tall tree and immediately agreed.
Huang Zhong thought that Bai Wutong would only send one person to follow him. In the end, Bai Wutong arranged for ten people for him in one go.
Huang Zhong was a little stunned, but Bai Wutong looked calm. “No matter how smelly it is, it’s still a fruit. Pick more. I want to treat everyone to try it too.”
Huang Zhong immediately felt a chill run down his spine. He hoped that he would not be given the fruit to try.
Soon, Huang Zhong returned to the durian tree.
Five skilled dark guards went up the tree. Five stayed where they were and pulled out a st.u.r.dy canvas.
Right on the heels of that, Huang Zhong dodged and they displayed their super high-level skills. They threw the fruit into the sky and spun around quickly.
Huang Zhong hid at the side. There was only one word in his heart: convinced!!!
None of the dozens of durians were damaged. The dark guards carried the durians on their backs and Huang Zhong followed behind. He felt that he had only led the way and had not helped at all.
With so many durians, one could imagine the stench.
Wherever they pa.s.sed, everyone pinched their noses and wondered why Bai Wutong had brought back so many stinky fruits.
It looked like a porcupine and could be used as a lethal weapon.
With so many durians placed in front of Bai Wutong, Cui Lingyi covered her face as she walked over. “What is this?”
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “This is a local special fruit. 1 heard that it’s soft and delicate. It’s quite delicious.”
Cui Lingyi was shocked. “You want to eat it?”
Bai Wutong smiled slyly. “We’re the ones eating together.”
Cui Lingyi quickly waved her hand. “1’11 pa.s.s!!!”
She looked like she wanted to avoid it at all cost. Bai Wutong’s smile deepened. “Try it.”
It was difficult to refuse Bai Wutong’s kindness, so Cui Lingyi could only brace herself and sit down at the dining table.
Cui Muzhi was curious about everything. When Bai Wutong asked him to sit down and eat durian, he sat down.
Stinky pinched his little nose and said in a m.u.f.fled voice, “Mother, it stinks!”
In Chu Tianbao’s words, this thing was even more smelly than his p.o.o.p.
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Then do you want to try it?”
Stinky quickly shook his head like a rattle. He wasn’t going to eat something so stinky.
Bai Wutong didn’t force him. She stroked his little head. “Then watch Mother eat.”
Stinky was speechless. Why did he feel like he had been tricked…
Bai Wutong wanted to eat the Stinky Fruit and was going to open it in public. Soon, she attracted countless people’s attention.
Even Yang Quanzi, who was busy writing books, came to the scene wearing his western-looking reading gla.s.ses.
It was more interesting to have more people watching the durians being opened.
Bai Wutong did not stop everyone from watching. She put on cotton gloves, picked up the back of the knife, and knocked on the durian’s b.u.t.t.
The durian she had chosen was very big. With a tap of the back of the knife, there were actually five seams, which meant that there might be five durian flesh..
