Durian

Durian is a very exotic fruit in the tropics. ?

Its peculiarity lies not in its shape, its color, its taste. ?

To say that it is peculiar, it is because the average person has two extreme emotions about durian - not super love, but extremely hate. The locals are mostly loved by it; those who hate it and are afraid of it are all foreigners. ?

The durian is covered with a screaming scream. It is like a woman with a sultry character. Just look at it and don’t want to move it. It also gives off a strong fragrance to seduce you and call you. Then, you will involuntarily approach and approach it. With the scorpion trembled and smashed open it, lying in the solid husk, is the nuclear flesh. The flesh is usually divided into pure white and clear yellow. The pure white is very sweet, but the sweetness has a little bitter taste. It seems to be the embarrassing and constant love; the yellow is very fragrant, the fragrance is like a snake, and the whole person, They are all a bit embarrassed by this fragrance. The complex feeling like this is absolutely absent from our taste of other fruits! ?

However, even though the Chinese people are so fascinated by it, they come from other places, and when they hear the durian, they frown. When they smell it, they shun it; if they force him to eat, he would rather die! I have a friend of British nationality and said to me bluntly that the smell of durian reminds her of the rubbish that is covered with aphids; some people say that it smells like feces and smells like rotten rat; in short, No praise. Some foreigners will also try to take the attitude of “stay calmly and righteously”. After the taste, there are usually two kinds of reactions: one will fly quickly to the toilet and vomit; the other will say in a very tolerant tone: "Hey, it tastes weird!" The former will probably not try again in this life. The second time, however, the latter, there is still something to be done - if there is an opportunity, or will try again, the strange thing is: after a few more attempts, he will gradually like it. When he returns to China, he will not forget to say to his friends and relatives in a flamboyant tone: "Hey, I dare to eat durians!" In fact, foreigners who dare to eat and love to eat durians are indeed one. The pile is worth showing off because the popular phrase in Nanyang is:

"If you can eat durian, you can make roots here."

The durian is seasonal, and the middle of the year and the end of the year are when it is listed. In Singapore, there is a large market for the sale of durians, located in the Geylang District. On the big, big square, selling the durian, set up a temporary wooden frame on the square. On the wooden stand, the durian piled up like a mountain, the durian’s heart-like smell, here It was full of squares. Popularity, sweat; bargaining, counter-offering, also filled in every corner. ?

Buying durians is a "learning" that is difficult to master. According to this expert, if you want to buy a good durian, you have two things: one is to sniff, the other is to listen. Hold the durian in your hand, close your nose to the durian, close your eyes, concentrate on it, sniff! If a strong scent is like a string bow and arrow into the nasal cavity, then the pulp of this durian is necessarily satisfactory. Some durians have a good taste, but the core is very large, the flesh is extremely thin, and it is not resistant to chewing. It is not a top grade. So, after sniffing, listen. Raise the fragrant durian to the side of the ear and shake it with your hand. If there is a slight sound, it means that the meat is thick and thin, and the top grade is also good. If the sound is too loud, it will tell you plainly that this durian has a great nuclear and does not eat. If it smells without fragrance and shakes silently, then this durian is mostly half-baked, don't buy it. It’s easy to know how easy it is to do. It’s easy to hear these two sounds. However, to smell the smell of individual durians in the scented market, listen to the sound of individual durians in the screaming market. It’s really easy to talk about it! ?

I want Malaysia to see the durian garden for the first time. Once I stepped in, it was like walking into a frontier area full of mines. The only difference is that the danger in the front line is from the ground, and the danger of the durian garden comes from the top of the head. ?

The biggest feature of the durian tree is that it will fall automatically when it is ripe. If someone tries to climb the tree to pick it, the durian that is picked off, like a unilateral love, is tasteless. In view of this, when the durian is not mature, even if the garden is full and solid, no one will move their rumors. When the durian was fragrant, the owner of the durian garden began to be nervous. He would be like a vigilant worker, guarding the garden. The familiar durians, like the feathered birds, are very happy and good-natured, and the "Bu Bu" flies down from the sky. Every "Bu" represents The sound of money in the bag, I heard the gardener frowning. ?

I know a man selling durians. He buys 60 durians from the gardener every day, put them in the bamboo basket, and carries them to the side of the road to sell. Because of the many vehicles coming and going every day, his durian was sold out at once. He collected the money and went home to go to sleep. Once, I couldn't help but ask him:?

"Your business is good, why don't you take a little more to sell?"

He did not want to, he answered:

“Make a day, use one day, it’s enough.”?

This friend, reading a lot, actually knows the truth of "satisfaction". But then again, a society, if everyone is so content, will become a stumbling block to progress! ?

Now that the season of the durian fragrance has just passed, its lingering fragrance is still reluctantly in the air. ?

People used some of their savings for the consumption of durians, but they did not regret it. They are calculating in their hearts:?

"When the next durian is fragrant again, I hope to eat more than this time!"??

The strange smell of the soul!
