That day, they decided not to stay on the island any longer, but to go on the cruise ship. The weather was nice, and they were too tired, so they decided to rest for a few days. The two of them were carried and flew over the trees.
Suddenly, An Shuyi smelled a familiar scent and hurriedly told Xiao Yubai to stop, and called Xia Hua and the other person in front to stop as well, and followed the scent.
The other three didn't know what she was going to do, but they didn't ask and went in the direction she indicated.
After flying for a while, the smell became stronger and stronger, and the group realized that it was durian. They had no choice but to speed up and land on the tree soon.
Looking at the trees here, they're quite big. This area is near the far right of the island. I've never been here before, no wonder I didn't notice them. Those durians are all about three times the normal size.
These trees are probably the tallest here, and durians are hidden inside the leaves. Some of the durians have already burst open, which explains the smell.
"Shushu, it seems you have a good nose. You can smell the durian from this far away," Cheng Yumo said.
He thought it was something else, but it turned out to be durian. Although he doesn't really like it, he can accept it.
An Shuyi nodded proudly, "Of course, my nose is very sensitive. I was thinking before that I might be able to find durians on the island, but I didn't expect to go there and not see any at all."
"We were lucky today, and the durian smelled so strong that we were able to find it. You two can pick it, and Hua Hua and I will pack it. We still have some time."
There are only two durian trees here, but they are very big, and there are plenty of durians, so it should be enough for her to eat for a long time.
"Wife, why don't you try it first? What if it's not good?" Xiao Yubai asked.
She would taste other fruits before picking them, but today, when she picked durian, she didn't want to taste them.
"The durian smells so good, I know it's delicious without even tasting it. Don't worry, feel free to pick it if you like."
Although I don't know what kind of durian it is, just by looking at the color and smelling it, I feel it looks very good and will taste very delicious. It definitely won't be bad.
"Let's pick one and try it. If it's not good, it's tiring to pick them all. There are so many, and we don't have anywhere to throw them away. Yu Mo, pick one that's already burst open and try it first," Xia Hua said.
Shushu loves durian. Whenever she sees so many, even if they don't taste good, she wants to pick them and take them home. But if they don't taste good, there's nowhere to throw them away, and she can't just keep them forever.
Cheng Yumo nodded, flew up to the tree, picked a durian that had already burst open, and then the group landed on the ground, peeled off the shell, and found that the durian flesh was as big as two palms, which was simply unbelievable.
"Try it quickly, and if it's delicious, we'll pick it."
An Shuyi held the durian flesh in her hand, nodding happily. Then she took a bite, and it melted in her mouth with a soft and smooth texture. "It's delicious. Pick it quickly."
Seeing her like this, the other three knew it was delicious. Xiao Yubai said, "Wife, you keep eating. We'll take care of picking the rest. Huahua, tell your brother that we'll go back tomorrow."
The durians on the two trees are already in the afternoon, and we can't finish picking them all today. We'll have to wait until tomorrow. At most, we can only pick a portion today.
Xia Hua nodded, took out the walkie-talkie, and told her older brother that she wouldn't go back today and would have him pick her up tomorrow.
The older brother was originally on the island, but he was too tired a couple of days ago and hadn't had a good rest for a long time, so he went back to the cruise ship. Otherwise, they would have had to ask the three people on the cruise ship to pick him up.
Without even needing to fill the basket herself, An Shuyi took it out and stood to the side eating durian. By the time it got dark, she had finished the whole basket of durian flesh.
As for the others, they have been put in the warehouse. After a hundred more, Hua Hua and the other two also ate durian, but they could only accept it and did not like it.
Hua Hua ate with her before simply because she didn't want to eat alone and wanted to share some with her.
After dark, they could no longer pick the fruit, so they flew up into the tree, washed up, and ate.
"Wife, eat something, or you'll be hungry tonight," Xiao Yubai said.
Perhaps because she ate too much durian, she doesn't want to eat now.
"I really can't eat anymore, you guys eat, I'll eat when I'm hungry." My stomach is too full to eat anything more.
Xia Hua said while eating, "If she doesn't want to eat, then don't worry about it. But Shu Shu, if you're hungry tonight, you can't eat durian. If you eat too much, it'll just end up in my warehouse."
This woman can eat her favorite food for days on end without ever thinking that it's bad for her health, but she won't listen when you tell her otherwise.
An Shuyi nodded, "Don't worry, I definitely won't eat it. Besides, you're right next to me. If I did eat it, you would have smelled it."
She ate so much durian today that she doesn't want to eat it for the next few days, because getting a sore throat from it is really uncomfortable.
"It's good that you know."
After finishing their meal and resting for a while, the group went to sleep. The next morning, they got up early, washed up, ate breakfast, and started picking durians. By noon, they had finally finished picking all the durians from the two trees.
"There are so many durians that Shushu can eat them for a lifetime without having to buy any more," Cheng Yumo said.
They don't like to eat them, they only eat a little occasionally, and the rest are for reading. These durians are not only big, but also have a lot of flesh. One jar of flesh can last a day, and after eating it, they don't need to eat it again for several days.
Moreover, there are other fruits to eat together, enough to last for decades, or even a hundred years.
Xia Hua said, "Enough to eat, so she won't worry about it every day. But she can't eat too much, or she'll get a sore throat. It's noon now, let's find a small river and wash some wild mushrooms so we can dry them tomorrow."
They found those wild mushrooms, but I haven't even had time to clean them yet. On this cruise ship, besides resting, I'll be drying wild mushrooms. I still have an afternoon to clean some.
"No problem, let's go find Xiaohe." After saying that, Xiao Yubai picked up his wife and flew away to the side.
Before long, I saw the small river below. The water was exceptionally clear, there were no fish in it, and no animal droppings on the ground. It was quite clean.
After landing on the ground, Xia Hua took out a pot, a bucket, and a few stools from the warehouse, while An Shuyi took out a storage box containing wild mushrooms.
Take out another empty storage box, clean it thoroughly, and put it in the box. To keep them separate, only take out the black porcini mushrooms. After washing this type, switch to the other type.
You can use a bucket to scoop up water and pour it into a basin to wash your hands. Actually, it's easier to wash your hands in a river, but if you're too close to the ground, it will be wet and you won't be able to place a stool on it.
Moreover, basins are easy to clean; you just need to fill them with water. Once the basin is full, sit down and start washing. Two people can wash one basin, and it will be clean after a few washes.
Perhaps because wild mushrooms are large, they don't spoil easily and come out intact after cleaning. The group worked quickly and finished cleaning the black porcini mushrooms in no time, and then they cleaned the morel mushrooms.
Morel mushrooms are especially good for stewing in soup. They are not only highly nutritious, but the soup is also very flavorful. Although you can pick a lot of each kind, morel mushrooms are the most abundant.
