Chapter 42: The Miracle Fruit
"I saw this fruit on the street before, and quite a lot of people bought it, so I bought some of it too."
"How about you come over and eat first? It's not too late to review later, there are still a few days before the exam starts, so there's no hurry to do it here. ”
Tang Jingyun took a knife and peeled the lid of the fruit and handed it to the two of them one by one.
Zhao Xiaozhou stretched out his hand to take his share.
I smelled a fragrant fruity aroma and took it back to see that the milky white juice was shaking in the peel, and it looked very tempting.
"What kind of fruit is this? It's the first time I've seen it. Zhao Xiaozhou's eyes lit up, but he couldn't help but taste it first.
"Remember not to swallow the pit inside." Tang Jingyun reminded him, and peeled off the lids of the other two fruits and put them on the table.
Xie Zhaoxuan looked at the fruit in Zhao Xiaozhou's hand, shook his fruit lightly, lifted his wrist, and ate the fruit between the sleeves of his shirt.
Zhao Xiaozhou didn't care about Xie Zhaoxuan's pretending to be Sven, and took a bite of the fruit, even if he was conquered by this sweet and sour taste, he licked the corners of his mouth and quickly started eating.
"Tastes good! And it's the first time I've seen this way of eating, how much did you buy? Is there anything else? ”
Before Zhao Xiaozhou finished eating the fruit in his hand, he began to look forward to the contents of the pot.
Tang Jingyun glanced at him and said ruthlessly: "The old man who bought the fruit said that he can only eat one fruit a day. ”
"And this kind of rule?" Zhao Xiaozhou was surprised and suspected that Miss Tang was deceiving people.
Xie Zhaojun also glanced up at her, his eyes full of doubt.
"I was surprised to hear that."
Tang Jingyun changed the rules into conditions, and continued to add expressionlessly:
"It's just that a middle-aged man came right after, and he asked the old man if the fruit was poisonous, and his wife ate vomiting and diarrhea, and then she had hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, as if she was crazy."
"How is this possible?" Zhao Xiaozhou exclaimed, holding the fruit in his hand, as if he was looking at the poisonous fruit.
Xie Zhaoyun also stared at Tang Jingyun nervously, looking forward to her next explanation.
Tang Jingyun didn't even look at him twice, took the fruit, and his lips approached the opening to drink the fruit.
Sweet and sour, it tastes good!
After tasting it, he said: "What I didn't say before is that the old man is a foreigner, and this fruit is not produced in the Central Plains." ”
"The resistance of the Central Plains people is low, and they are not adapted to the water, soil and foreign lands, so it is normal that they can't eat more of this fruit."
"Moreover, the old man also said that this fruit is really nourishing, and it is the most nourishing spiritual fruit of their Sahara, even if they can only eat two a day."
"The physique of the Central Plains people is even worse, one a day is already the limit, and eating too much will have the side effects of over-supplementation."
Zhao Xiaozhou and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, Zhao Dakui walked in with a body of moisture, his hair was half-dried tied behind his head, and his burly figure walked in a hurry.
"And this strange anecdote? It's the first time I've heard of it. ”
She's made this up, and of course it's the first time you've heard of it.
Tang Jingyun was embarrassed, handed over the last remaining fruit, and changed the topic: "Yes, yes, this is the first time I have heard of it, if it weren't for the old man who said that this fruit was the spirit fruit of the Sahara, I wouldn't have bought it back." ”
"By the way, how's the rhubarb? I've been tired of it for the past few days, and I've traveled so much. ”
Zhao Dakui learned how they ate the fruit, and while eating, he said: "Yes, I will get up early tomorrow and go outside the city to see if there is any fresh grass for it to cut some back." ”
What the housekeeper left was hay, and the rhubarb was used to fresh and tender forage, and the taste was not so good, so he only ate half a trough and didn't open his mouth to eat.
"I'm going to go out tomorrow, and I want to go to Fucheng and see if there are any seeds that I like." Tang Jingyun gave them a preventive shot.
Zhao Xiaozhou and Xie Zhaojun were not in a hurry to go out, they wanted to enjoy the scenery of Fucheng, and they had time to appreciate it after the exam.
In the remaining few days, what they want to do most is to recuperate their tired bodies.
Then carefully go through some omissions and unfamiliar places in the book, check them again, and when the exam comes, they can be more sure.
After the parties had told them their plans, it was not too early, and the fruit had been eaten, so they went back to their rooms to rest.
Tang Jingyun survived by eating fruits all the way, and the feeling of this night was not new.
Zhao Xiaozhou, Xie Zhaojun and Zhao Dakui's feelings became extremely obvious.
Especially the two weak scholars.
After a day of bumping on the ox cart during the day, and being sore at night, I couldn't sleep at all, and even if I fell asleep in a daze, it was almost dawn.
Moreover, when I fall asleep, my body is extremely heavy, like a ghost pressing the bed, and often after waking up, my body is also like a waterfall of cold sweat.
However, the same ox cart that has been riding for a day during the day, the same bumps and roller coasters have been rocked all day, and it is very different when you sleep at night.
Before I went to bed, I felt that my head was chaotic and my eyelids were heavy, and when I rubbed my sore back and stiff buttocks, I took off my clothes and climbed into bed, as if I had fallen into complete darkness.
When my mind sank, I didn't know where I was.
I was in a trance in the clouds, and the whole person was fluttering, and it seemed to be lying in the cotton bushes, comfortable and soft.
When I woke up, it was already blue and white, and the sun was hanging high.
The mind is unprecedentedly clear and awake, and the body seems to be removed from Chen Ke's shut, as if it can jump up with a slight jump.
Zhao Xiaozhou, who jumped on the beam of the house, moved his eyes, and his body fluttered, like a butterfly in the jungle, and fell to the ground lightly.
Xie Zhaotun stumbled around the room twice, moved his body and went to wash.
After washing, Xie Zhaojun went to the living room with light steps, and found hot buns and white porridge in the lunch box, as well as a few delicious side dishes.
When the meal was set, Tang Jingyun and Zhao Xiaozhou were late.
What is different from the past is that the three of them are not sleepy-eyed and yawning at this time, but they are full of energy and radiance, as if they have eaten an elixir all over their bodies.
Tang Jingyun took a bun and said first: "It's still comfortable to live in my own territory, I stayed in those inns on the road before, which made my back ache, and I didn't have a good night's sleep." ”
Zhao Xiaozhou's wrist flickered, the chopsticks lit the porridge noodles, the tip of the chopsticks stuck a little porridge, and looked at the expressions of the other two. He lowered his head, his eyes moved, stirred the gruel twice, and said:
"That's right, after I finish the exam, I still have to thank my friend, and his housekeeper is also doing a good job."
