Chapter Twenty-Seven: Durian



Ling Miao squeezed through the crowd and walked excitedly to the stall owner. "Can I take a look?"

The stall owner looked at the little girl in front of him and nodded indifferently, since he couldn't sell any more anyway.

He opened the bag, revealing familiar yellow, spiky fruit.

It's durian.

marvelous!

"I'll take them all!"

The stall owner looked up abruptly, his pupils filled with disbelief. He stammered, "Do...do you want them all?"

Ling Miao nodded emphatically, her voice cheerful, "If it's convenient, please deliver it to my home."

"So convenient!"

He nodded eagerly, and with a forceful pull, he dragged the bag closer to Ling Miao.

People around: Shocked.

Who would want something that stinks like that?

Not only the people around, but also the fans who had been watching the streamer's actions were stunned.

Why would you buy something that smells so bad?

It can't be food, can it?

As people speculated about the streamer's intentions, the live stream chat erupted into discussion once again.

Some of the onlookers who recognized Ling Miao tentatively asked, "Excuse me, what is this?"

The stall owner smiled, his previous gloomy expression gone, and said loudly, "This is a specialty of my hometown, the prickly fruit."

"It's very juicy and tastes especially good."

He enthusiastically promoted it, while Ling Miao, standing to the side, was somewhat surprised. "Prickly fruit?"

Upon arriving here, Ling Miao discovered that some basic facts, fruits, and vegetables were the same as in her previous life. She thought that apart from the different era, the background was the same.

After all, there was a planet called Blue Star in the past of the interstellar age, which is said to be the home planet of the vast majority of interstellar people.

The reason it's described as the vast majority is because there are numerous races in interstellar space; there are over three thousand registered species alone.

As for the others that were not recorded, they are even more numerous and varied.

Fortunately, Ling Miao was only surprised for a moment before pulling herself back from her wandering thoughts. She glanced at the live stream and a familiar word caught her eye.

[It looks like durian, doesn't it?]

Ling Miao became interested and began to carefully read the comments in the live stream.

But after searching and searching, she couldn't find that ID again. Getting a little anxious, she asked directly, "Does anyone know Durian?"

Zhou Ke immediately became interested upon hearing the anchor's words.

Zhou Zhou: [Does the host know about durians?]

Ling Miao nodded and led the stall owner toward her restaurant, answering questions from the live stream audience as she did so.

"I recognize this; it's a durian."

durian?

Watching the two of them ask and answer questions in the live stream, I was filled with question marks.

Is it that fruit called prickly fruit?

[Just wondering, is it that thorny fruit?]

[It smells awful, so why isn't it called Stinky Fruit?]

[Host, what are you buying this for? You're not going to eat it, are you?]

No way! I can't even stand the smell!

Ling Miao ignored the comments and continued chatting with the netizen named Zhou Zhou.

I just learned that "durian" is an old name, only listed in botanical encyclopedias, and because of its distinctive smell, most people dislike it.

Over time, this fruit has become increasingly rare in the market.

As for the prickly fruit, Ling Miao glanced back at the stall owner and guessed that it was probably the locals' name for it.

Having clarified her doubts, Ling Miao was in the mood to answer questions from the live stream.

Besides, she was in a wonderful mood right now.

So after randomly asking and answering a few questions, I immediately took a liking to a comment.

[Is the streamer buying this to eat? *facepalm*]

Ling Miao looked at the comment that clearly showed she had lost her composure, a wicked smile playing on her lips, and replied, word by word:

"Yeah—how did you know I wanted to eat durian?"

Finally, let's conclude with a sentence...

"You're such a clever little devil."

His tone was full of exclamation.

The person in the live stream: "....."

Cedrian, who was immediately overwhelmed by the stench upon entering the live stream room: "?"

【It stinks!】

As soon as Yarshi entered the live stream, he smelled a foul odor. Without even taking a look, he immediately posted a comment.

He pinched his nose while watching the live stream in front of him.

Isn't she a food vlogger? How come she smells so bad!

Ling Miao noticed the two glittering IDs as soon as they entered the live stream.

Seeing the young boss's reaction, Ling Miao felt a little regretful.

It seems the small business owner won't be able to enjoy the food, especially since the other party doesn't like sweets.

【What's this? 】

Ling Miao's eyes lit up and fell on the only two ID names that were flashing gold.

I almost forgot there was a big boss too!

Based on the boss's behavior last time, I'd guess he has a sweet tooth!

Ling Miao perked up, her eyes shining as she looked at the ID—

user

It's obviously a randomly generated ID name, but it doesn't matter, money talks.

She calmed herself down and began to introduce the durian.

Zhou Ke watched the live stream, his interest growing stronger.

At first, she just randomly clicked into the live stream. As a researcher of ancient culture, she has a lot of daily affairs and never spends much time on entertainment, only watching occasionally.

I was surprised to see some very familiar fruits in a live stream that I randomly clicked on.

Fruits I had only ever seen in books before were now vividly displayed before my eyes.

However, she didn't know much about this fruit; she only vaguely remembered its name and family, and knew nothing else.

But judging from the streamer's performance, he seemed to know a lot about this fruit.

"...In short, durian is a very delicious fruit!"
