Chapter 302 Popular Science on the Benefits of Coconut Juice
Seeing that they had all left, Bai Yangfan handed the coconut to Lu Jingheng: "You try it too. Actually, it's not very tasty. It's a bit sour and not sweet. I don't like it very much."
Women never say pretentious things. Seeing that she really didn't like to drink, Lu Jingheng took it and drank it himself.
"Hmm! You're right, this thing really doesn't taste very good. I won't buy it next time. At first I didn't know, I thought there was fruit pulp in it, but who knew there wasn't? Only after I bought it did they tell me it was just water. I feel like I got a big loss, I only bought a few sips of water for one dollar."
Bai Yangfan glanced at him and said calmly, "No wonder you were so angry just now."
"Haha!" Lu Jingheng burst out laughing. "Those guys were unlucky and ran into my trap. I said I was stupid, but they were even more stupid. They knew there was no pulp in it, just some water, but they still ran to buy it."
Bai Yangfan: “…” You bastard! I think you have turned bad. You led people astray. You are so mean.
Zhang Yong, Bai Han and Fei Wen each brought back a big coconut. The only rational person was Xu Keshan. He went there, but he didn't buy anything.
Xu Keshan: “…” It’s not that I don’t want to buy it, it’s that I can’t bear to spend the money. One dollar each is too expensive, not worth it.
If his wife knew he was wasting money like that outside, she'd probably give him a stern scolding next time he came. For the sake of his own pride, he'd better bear with it! That thing doesn't look very tasty either.
The three men, imitating Lu Jingheng's previous actions, cracked the coconut shell and began to drink the water inside. Zhang Yong gulped down a few mouthfuls and finished it, looking confused.
Holding the coconut shell, he kept shaking it: "It's gone already? I only took a few sips and it's gone. This is too delicious. Xiaobai! Coconuts are only for drinking water. There is nothing else in them except water? No way! I spent this dollar in vain. This water is too precious."
Bai Han also screamed after finishing his drink, smashed the coconut shell in a few strokes, and kicked it into the sea: "What a piece of crap, it's just a drink of water, how abominable. Who planted this thing? It's completely useless and a complete scam."
Compared to them, Feiwen was much calmer. He held on to the coconut shell and refused to throw it away, saying that he wanted to take it back as a souvenir.
Xu Keshan was chuckling on the side. Lu Jingheng had no expression on his face, but he was still quite happy inside. After all, there were three people accompanying him to be a fool, so he was not alone.
Seeing that none of them took the coconut seriously, Bai Yangfan felt it necessary to give them some scientific knowledge. His clear and cold voice floated through the air: "Fresh coconut juice is not just ordinary water. It has many benefits."
After hearing this, Zhang Yong quickly asked: "Xiaobai! You know all this? Tell me quickly, what are its effects?" Otherwise, it would feel like a dollar wasted and he would feel bad.
Bai Han also became alert and listened attentively.
Lu Jingheng looked at his woman and felt that her head was filled with a lot of different kinds of knowledge. No matter what you said, she seemed to know something.
Feiwen was still holding the coconut shell and sitting not far from Li Bai Yangfan. He also wanted to know what benefits this thing had on the human body.
One dollar is not cheap. If it has no benefits, why would it be sold so expensively?
Xu Keshan also sat down and listened carefully to Bai Yangfan's explanations.
Fresh coconut water contains a lot of sugar and protein, as well as vitamins and minerals. It's high in trace elements like calcium, iron, and zinc. Drinking it regularly can strengthen your body, help you resist disease, and even kill parasites in your body. (From Baidu)
Tell me, is coconut water just what you think it is? It's actually grown naturally, not just any water you can find anywhere. It might be a little pricey, but it's good for your health.
You've already bought and drunk it, why are you still complaining? If you hadn't come here, would you have ever seen a coconut in your life?"
"No." Zhang Yong shook his head decisively. "It's the first time I've seen you."
"It's the first time I've seen it too." Bai Han glanced at the coconut shell he had discarded on the beach, and suddenly felt that he was too impulsive.
Xiaobai is right. The water in there is not the tap water we drink every day. It is water that has grown over a long period of time. It is extraordinary.
"I'm going to take this thing home and let my family see it." Feiwen held the coconut shell in his hand and glanced at Bai Han provocatively.
The meaning is very clear, see! I am smart, and you are a fool. You broke the good coconut shell by beating it. What a pity.
"Forget about taking this kind of stuff back; it's not aesthetically pleasing," Bai Yangfan advised Feiwen. "If you want to take anything, pick up some shells or something, or even a bottle of sea sand. Coconut shells are too heavy and rot easily. They won't last long and will turn black and look ugly."
Hearing this, Bai Han laughed happily: "Hahaha! Hahaha! That's a great suggestion, Xiaobai. I'll go to the beach to look for shells tomorrow."
He laughed and made strange gestures towards Feiwen, his sarcasm obvious, you idiot, it's no use bringing this thing back.
A few people were talking excitedly when Dai Siwen ran over to inform them: "Hurry back, Mr. Zhang and the others are getting ready to leave."
"Okay! We'll be there soon." Bai Yangfan stood up and called everyone, "Hurry up! Don't you want to see the island? Let's go together."
At Xiaobai's command, everyone followed her and headed towards the boat prepared by Lao Zhang.
The boat was not big, and with Lao Zhang and his two assistants, plus Bai Yangfan and his group of six, it was basically packed.
The man driving the boat was an old man in his fifties or sixties. The wrinkles on his face were so deep that they could pinch a fly to death. He looked weathered and had the vicissitudes of life to show that he had been through a lot.
Thirty nautical miles is not something that can be reached easily, so everyone started chatting.
The old man who was driving the boat told them that the island had always existed, from a long time ago, and there were many legends about it. It was unknown which one was true and which one was false.
Over the past thirty years or so, the island has appeared regularly around this time of year, sometimes for a day, sometimes for two. As long as you don't go to the island, there's basically nothing to worry about.
The old man said he had only seen it once.
"That island was very strange. It appeared suddenly without any warning. I remember it very clearly. I was fishing not far from it.
The small island emerged from the water with a loud bang, rising to a height of four or five feet. It was bare and had nothing on it but a pile of rocks.
It wasn't big, just a small mound, about the size of seven or eight graves, standing there quietly. I don't know how it disappeared later. I was a little scared at the time, so I scooped it up with the net and sailed back.
Someone saw it later and said the island disappeared very quickly, with the seawater sloshing out of sight. If you encounter it tonight, don't go up there. The elders say no one who has gone up there has ever returned.
