Chapter 293: The Bitter Fruits of Life and the Legacy of Ten Thousand Years
"Really?" Li Xi smiled, "If you like to eat, I'll give you and Doudou some when I go back." ”
"Can you buy it?" Bai Wenyan's expression was even more surprised, "Mr. Li, where did you buy it from?" I gave you money and bought it from you." ”
"No need. Li Xi shook his head, "It's not worth a few dollars." Then he turned to Ding Doudou, "Doudou, is the fruit delicious?"
"Delicious. Ding Doudou kept nodding.
Bai Wenyan asked, "Mr. Li, where are you going?"
Li Xi was going to take a taxi, but after hearing this, he thought for a while and nodded. He had always thought about buying a car, but unfortunately he was so busy that he didn't even have time to learn a driver's license. So much so that after such a long time, I still don't have my own car.
The parking lot in the basement has always been used as a laboratory.
Riding Bai Wenyan's car, you can't save a few dollars, but what is rare is this favor. However, the current Li Xi is not worried about owing favors.
As long as he calls out loudly, some people are willing to drive him.
When he said the address of Li Zonglin's house, Bai Wenyan drove the car and went to see him off first.
When he arrived at the door of Li Zonglin's house, Bai Wenyan put Li Xi down, and then drove to do his own business.
Li Xi rang the doorbell, and after a while, the door opened, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old beautiful girl came out, obviously not knowing Li Xi, and looked him up and down, "Who are you?"
"Is Mr. Li Zonglin at home?" asked Li Xi.
"You're looking for my grandfather. This girl is obviously Li Zonglin's granddaughter, "My grandfather is at home, what are you looking for him?"
"Yuanyuan, who is it?" Another girl's voice came from behind the door, but it was a little familiar to Li Xi's ears.
"I don't know, I'm looking for my grandfather. The girl named Yuanyuan shook her head slightly.
"Oh!" the other girl let out an 'oh' sound, and looked through the crack in the door to see Li Xi clearly. I couldn't help but be taken aback, "Ahhh
Then there was joy on his face. This girl Li Xi happened to know, it was Wu Yunting, the granddaughter of Mrs. Qin, who provided him with scissors.
"Tingting. Do you know him?" the girl named Yuanyuan asked, turning her head.
"Know, he is ......" Wu Yunting's face was full of joy, her bright eyes were staring at Li Xi, and she was surprised to help introduce 'Yuanyuan'.
When Li Xi saw this scene, he hurriedly stopped his eyes.
Wu Yunting woke up instantly. "Yes, he's my dad's friend." ”
"It's your dad's friend. The girl called Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door, and beckoned Li Xi, "Please come in, my grandfather is at home." ”
Li Xi carried two convenience bags and walked in. The girl named Yuanyuan closed the door casually. Wu Yunting unconsciously wanted to follow along.
"Tingting. "'Yuanyuan' stretched out her hand to pull Wu Yunting and said strangely: "What are you doing?"
"Let's take a look. "Wu Yunting spoke to 'Yuanyuan', as if she was afraid of being heard by Li Xi. But then I thought of Li Xi's magic, and I felt that I definitely couldn't hide it from Li Xi. So all of a sudden. He looked a little uncomfortable.
"Look at what? Looking for my grandfather. "'Yuanyuan' looked disapproving. People often come to Li Zonglin, and she has seen a lot of this kind of thing.
Wu Yunting didn't listen to her, stretched out her hand to pull Yuanyuan, and followed Li Xi inside.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't help but ask Li Xi, "Strange ...... , do you have something to do with Grandpa Li?"
"yes. Li Xi perfunctorily, glanced at the little girl, and asked, "You two." Are you a classmate?"
Wu Yunting nodded hurriedly, "Yuanyuan and I are good friends. Suddenly remembered something and introduced it to Li Xi, "Her name is Li Yuanyuan." Grandpa Lee's granddaughter. ”
"Oh!" Li Xi nodded at Li Yuanyuan.
Li Yuanyuan also nodded lukewarmly at Li Xi.
Wu Yunting was courteous to help Li Xi, raised her voice, and called, "Grandpa Li, someone is looking for you." ”
"Who is looking for me?" Li Zonglin's voice came from the house.
The condition of his house is good, this house. With a small yard, the main house is a small three-storey building.
"Teacher Li, it's me. Li Xi responded.
"Ah!" Li Zonglin was obviously taken aback, and then he was overjoyed, "Young man, is it you? Why is it so coincidental, it just so happens that I want to find you for something." ”
Saying that, he walked out of the house and greeted Li Xi, "Come in." ”
Li Xi carried two bags of fruit and walked in.
"Tingting, let's go. Li Yuanyuan pulled Wu Yunting and wanted to persuade her to leave.
How could Wu Yunting be willing to go? begged: "Look again, Yuanyuan, look again." ”
"What's so good-looking?" Li Yuanyuan disagreed, "I must have asked my grandfather to help identify it, I've seen a lot of such people." ”
"Alas!" Wu Yunting sighed, "This person ...... He's different. ”
"How is it different?" asked Li Yuanyuan casually, but her tone was obviously a little light.
"It's really different, just look at it. Wu Yunting didn't know how to explain to the other party.
"Oh!" Li Yuanyuan stared at Wu Yunting for a moment, and when she saw that the other party looked serious, she replied suspiciously.
At Wu Yunting's insistence, the two girls walked into the house together.
"Sit, sit, sit, lad. Li Zonglin let Li Xi into the room and warmly beckoned Li Xi to sit down. Between the two was a small coffee table, and Li Zonglin began to boil water to cook tea.
Li Yi casually put two packets of fruit on the table.
"This is ......" Li Zonglin's gaze fell on the two bags of fruit.
"This is the fruit of life and delicious fruit, give it to Mr. Li to taste. Li Xi opened the two large convenience bags and let Li Zonglin see them.
"Which is the fruit of life?" When Li Zonglin heard this, he immediately became interested, and smiled, "This fruit of life, I have heard of it for a long time, and I have never seen it." ”
"It's this one. Li Xi pointed to the bag of life fruits.
"You have to try it. Li Zonglin took a life fruit, washed it under the faucet on the coffee table, brought it to his mouth, and took a bite.
When I took this bite, a look of surprise immediately appeared on my face, "It's sweet!"
"The taste of this kind of fruit of life should be tasted slowly. Li Xi introduced with a smile, "When you first eat a sweet fruit like this, it tastes extremely sweet." The taste slowly changes over time. At the end of the day, there will be a bitterness. ”
Li Zonglin nodded and closed his eyes. Savor it.
After a long time, when the taste of the fruit of life dissipated, he opened his eyes and sighed, "It's really worthy of the fruit of life!"
Two young girls happened to walk into the house. Curiously stood aside and watched.
Seeing Li Zonglin tasting the fruits of life, he looked delicious, and couldn't help but feel a little moved. But these two girls were obviously very well-educated, so they just stood aside and watched, and neither of them said anything.
"Which one is the bitter fruit?" Li Zonglin couldn't help but ask again: "The bitter fruit of life, I have heard of it for a long time." ”
Although the fruit of life contains all kinds of flavors of life, every fruit of life has a taste. But the truly best fruits of life are at least in the eyes of the vast majority of people who can taste the true taste of life. The most valuable fruit is still bitter fruit.
That kind of bitter fruit was even specially given a name, called the bitter fruit of life.
In Tianyu Hotel, guests order the fruit of life, and a tree of fruit is sent together, and everyone eats it together, usually taking it as a lucky thing to be able to eat the bitter fruit.
Just like when eating dumplings, a coin is specially placed in it, who eats the dumpling with the coin. Whoever has good luck is the same.
"This can not be seen, the appearance of the fruit of life is the same, unless you taste it specifically, you can't tell which one is a bitter fruit. Which one is a sweet fruit? Li Xi shook his head and said.
"It turns out that there is such a saying. Li Zonglin thought for a while, then nodded seriously, "This is the same as life, before you have experienced your own life, who can know what your future life will be like? ”
"These are cacao fruits, right?" Li Zonglin's gaze. Then it lands on top of another handy bag.
"It's a delicious fruit. Li Xi replied.
"So much!" Li Zonglin saw that there were at least twenty catties in the big bag, and opened his mouth to thank him, "I have suffered from you." ”
Although there are many calama fruits, what is really valuable is the package of life fruits. The price of the fruit of life is 300,000 yuan per tree, which is more expensive than the delicious fruit.
"Teacher Li is welcome. Li Xi shook his head, "The taste of the delicious fruit, compared with the fruit of life, although it is a little worse, it is still good." ”
"I'll taste it. Li Zonglin took a delicious fruit, tasted it, and then nodded approvingly, "It's really good." ”
"This delicious fruit has a total of nine colors, different colors, with different flavors. Li Xi introduced again.
"It turns out that there is such a saying. Li Zonglin took out a few Coca-Fruit, took a closer look, and immediately found that the appearance of Coca-Fruit is extremely similar, but it is slightly different in details, and in this regard, it is different from the fruit of life.
"Taste it, too. Li Zonglin had already noticed the two girls standing behind him, and only then did he speak to the two, "This ...... Taste all the fruits that Uncle Li brought. ”
"Thank you, grandpa. These two girls have obviously heard the names of Coca-Fruit and Life Fruit, and after listening to Li Zonglin's words, they thanked them happily.
In fact, since these two fruits have been sold in Tianyu and Shanhai respectively, there are really not many people who don't know about them in the entire market.
Li Yuanyuan stretched out her hand, went to the two bags, took a few delicious fruits and life fruits respectively, and shared them with Wu Yunting.
Wu Yunting took a delicious fruit, brought it to her mouth, and tasted it slowly. The delicious fruit tasted very good, and the little girl immediately tasted the deliciousness, and couldn't help but smile at Li Xi.
Li Yuanyuan directly took a life fruit, sent it to her mouth, took a bite of it, and immediately spit it out, "Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah!
He kept sticking out his tongue bitterly, grabbed the cup in front of Li Zonglin, and drank a big sip of tea.
"You girl, you're so rude!" Li Zonglin couldn't help but scold his granddaughter.
"She's got the bitter fruit, right? Li Xi smiled.
"Have you eaten the bitter fruit?" Li Zonglin turned around and asked.
"I'm miserable. Li Yuanyuan was still sticking out her tongue, and complained to Li Zonglin when she opened her mouth, "Grandpa, how can you be so bitter?"
"Grandpa is not bitter. Li Zonglin heard his granddaughter complain, and couldn't help but retort with a smile, "Stinky girl, I don't know how many people want to eat that bitter fruit, and you got it." If you don't like to eat, then give it to me. ”
"It's so bitter, who still wants to eat it?" Li Yuanyuan couldn't understand Li Zonglin's statement, and handed the bitter fruit that she had bitten into to Li Zonglin, "I'm not rare, I cried to death, and when I took a bite, my mouth was numb." ”
"Hehe!" Li Zonglin smiled, took the bitter fruit from his granddaughter's hand, brought it to his mouth, and took a bite gently. The bitterness of the bitter fruit of life, even for people of Li Zonglin's age, can't help but be a little unbearable. But he obviously knew the benefits of the bitter fruit, and after taking a bite, he slowly closed his eyes and chewed slowly with the flesh in his mouth.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and exclaimed: "Bitter and sweet!
After Li Yuanyuan took a bite of the bitter fruit, she immediately rinsed her mouth, so she didn't taste the bitter taste at all, and at this time, seeing her grandfather's enjoyment, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Grandpa, is that bitter fruit so delicious?"
"Delicious?" Li Zonglin said with a smile: "How can the taste of the fruit of life be described as delicious and unpalatable? Just like this bitter fruit, the taste is extremely bitter, but after the bitterness is extreme, it is bitter and sweet." ”
"Oh!" Li Yuanyuan seemed to understand it, but listening to what her grandfather said was quite profound, she hesitated for a moment, and was curious after all, "Grandpa, if you let me taste it again, why is it so bitter?"
"How can you taste it?" Li Zonglin took the bitter fruit, but he didn't give it to his granddaughter, brought it to his mouth, took another bite, and savored the bitter taste.
"Hmph, if you don't give me food, you think I won't be able to eat. Li Yuanyuan pursed her lips.
Just now she took the fruit from the convenience bag, and took a few of the life fruit and the delicious fruit.
Pick out one of the fruits in your hand, pick out a fruit of life, and send it to your mouth.
I took a bite of it, but spit it out again, "Bah, it stinks, it stinks!"
picked up the teacup in front of Li Zonglin, took another sip of tea and rinsed his mouth.
Wu Yunting couldn't help but giggle when she saw this scene, "Yuanyuan, you're really unlucky!"
"Stinky girl, why did you pick all the good things?" Li Zonglin glanced back at his granddaughter, "Give me that stinky fruit." ”
Among the fruits of life, the most valuable, in addition to the bitter fruit of life, is this stinky fruit.
This stinky fruit is also given a name, called "Ten Thousand Years of Smell".
"Eat such a stinky fruit. Li Yuanyuan complained and handed the stinky fruit in her hand to Li Zonglin.
I tasted a bitter fruit and a stinky fruit in a row, and the rest of the fruit was born, but I didn't dare to eat it anymore, so I put it all back in the bag. (To be continued.) )
