Chapter 103 Coconut Juice

Seeing that she had bought quite a few chrysanthemum and vegetable leaves, Chen Hanxing asked curiously, "Sister Wen, what are you buying so many chrysanthemum and vegetable leaves for?"

"Let's make cold noodles. The weather is getting hotter now, and it would be very appetizing to have some refreshing cold noodles occasionally."

"Leng Tao?" Shen Hanxing looked puzzled.

"It's hard to explain this right now, but you'll know once it's done tomorrow."

"Brother Shen, sister will definitely make something delicious again." Wen Yong said confidently.

Wen Yongnan rubbed his head and said, "You are so smart."

Wen Yongman hurriedly tidied up his hair: "Brother, you will mess up my hair."

Wen Zhenyi smiled and didn't look at the people, but continued walking towards the market. She also saw a young man selling coconuts here, which were good things.

"Boss, how much are you selling these coconuts for?"

The boss was a young man with dark skin, but his teeth were exceptionally white.

He looked at Wen Zhenyi in surprise and pointed at the coconut on the ground: "Do you know this thing?"

"I know, they grow on the coconut trees by the sea, but the trees are very tall, so it's not easy to pick them."

The boy was excited: "Then do you know what he is good for?"

Wen Zhenyi was stunned by his question: "Don't you know?"

The young man scratched his head awkwardly. "I don't know. I just wanted to try my luck. The sea has been rough lately, so we can't go out to sea. The old people in the village said no one would eat this thing, and no one would buy it."

"It's called a coconut. It contains delicious water and delicious coconut meat. You can use it to satisfy your hunger and replenish your water. Of course, you can also use it to make various delicious dishes."

"Really?" The boy's eyes lit up.

Wen Zhen nodded: "Do you have a knife?"

The young man pulled out a hatchet from his waist. The blade looked very sharp. He handed the handle to Wen Zhenyi: "Here."

Wen Zhenyi took it, picked out a coconut, and peeled off the husk, revealing the brown shell inside. "This coconut is a bit old, so there shouldn't be much juice, but there is quite a bit of coconut meat."

As she spoke, she took the knife in her hand and easily cut a round hole in the shell, revealing the white coconut meat and clear coconut milk inside.

He handed the coconut to the boy and said, "Try it. The white flesh inside is edible. It's very fragrant." Then he picked up a few more coconuts and started peeling them. "I want all of them. Please deliver them to the store on the street."

"Do you really want all of them?"

"Well, you set the price. As long as it's not too expensive, I can accept it."

The boy brought over a dozen coconuts, just to try his luck, but he didn't expect to sell them all. "Five, five cents each, can I go?"

"Sure." Wen Zhenyi handed a few coconuts to Shen Hanxing and the others, and he also took one and drank a few sips of coconut milk.

"The taste is really sweet." Shen Hanxing felt that the taste was very strange, but it was not disgusting, but very refreshing.

Wen Zhenyi smiled and paid the boy: "If you can still pick coconuts, you can send them to my shop for me."

"Do you accept them all?"

"Well, I'll take them all."

"Okay." The boy was so happy that he packed up his things and prepared to give her the coconut.

Wen Yongman held the coconut that was already empty of juice and said, "Sister, there's no more."

"Don't throw it away. Go back and take out the meat inside and you can eat it."

Wen Yongman nodded and looked at the coconut in his arms: "It turns out it tastes so good."

Wen Zhenyi and the others took another walk and found that there was really no seafood recently. It might be as the boy said, the wind and waves were strong recently and no one went out to sea to fish.

She saw someone selling chickens and bought a few more chickens.

Wen Yongnan frowned: "Yi Yi, didn't you buy a lot of chicken before? I'm afraid you won't be able to finish all of this."

"Brother, this chicken is not for us to eat. I plan to cook it for tomorrow."

"So that's how it is. I thought you bought it to eat yourself."

"No."

When they returned to the shop, the family was staring at the coconuts in a daze, and Mr. Shen had already returned to the private school.

"Grandpa, grandma, we're back." Wen Yong's voices arrived before everyone else.

Old Lady Wen turned around and saw that each of them was holding a coconut. "What is this?"

"Grandma, this is a coconut. The coconut milk inside is delicious."

"Coconut juice?" Old Man Wen looked at the coconut he was holding with curiosity and said, "There's nothing here."

"Grandpa, I finished this."

Old Man Wen turned to look at Wen Zhenyi who had just walked in: "Yiyi, is the coconut milk delicious?"

Wen Zhenyi smiled and said, "It's delicious. I'm going to buy some for you to try." Then he went to the kitchen to get a knife, and in a few seconds he cut out a coconut and handed it to him.

Old Man Wen took the coconut and saw that there was indeed water inside. He put it to his lips and took a sip: "It tastes good."

Wen Zhenyi peeled another coconut for everyone else in the family, then took the coconut that Wen Yongman and the others had drunk from, pried open the outer shell, and peeled out the flesh inside.

The white meat is covered with a brown soft shell.

Wen Yongman took the coconut meat in his hand and looked at it from front to back: "Sister, can I eat the back part too?"

"It's edible. I like to eat it with the soft shell at the back. Although it's a bit hard, it tastes very delicious when chewed."

Wen Yongman took a small bite and said, "It smells really good."

Wen Zhenyi distributed the rest to others: "You all have a try."

Chen Hanxing took a small piece and started eating. It was a bit hard, but just like what Wen Yongman said, it was very fragrant. This fragrance was different from what they usually ate.

Old Man Wen had already chewed a piece: "This coconut meat really becomes more fragrant the more you chew it. Why hasn't anyone discovered it before?"

"It's wrapped in layers, who knows what's inside." Old Mrs. Wen also likes to eat it.

Wen Chengwen also tried to remove the brown part at the back and passed it to other people to taste.

Old Man Wen frowned: "This is softer to eat, but it doesn't taste as fragrant."

"I think so too." Ma Yinghe looked at the coconut meat in her hand.

Wen Yongnan looked at the coconuts that still had a lot of fruit and asked, "Yi Yi, what are you going to do with these coconuts?"

“Make a dessert.”

"dessert?"

Wen Zhen nodded slightly. She also planned to open a cold drink shop, selling herbal tea and milk tea. "But it requires a lot of preparation and is quite complicated. I plan to open a herbal tea shop later if I do well."

"I'm afraid I'll be too busy to handle this."

"We can hire someone, but now is not the time. Wait until I give it a try."

Many ingredients are not available here, and fruits are not available all year round. In addition, she has not seen anywhere selling milk.
