I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

An An took a deep breath but still felt it was not enough, so she poked the fruit flesh with her slender fingers. A hole appeared on the flesh.

"Huh... it's soft." An An exclaimed, put her finger that was stained with some fruit pulp into her mouth and sucked it, then her big eyes suddenly lit up.

"So sweet! Mom, I want to eat it!"

Pingping saw his sister put the poop-like thing into her mouth and couldn't help but dry heave, "Sister, the fruit is so smelly, how can you eat it?"

Shen Rong had been smelling it for so long that she had gotten used to the taste. She also tasted a little and it was just as she had described to her daughter, sweet. The flesh was surprisingly soft, sticky and sweet. Shen Rong immediately fell in love with the taste.

Shen Rong took the two children's fruit bowls, put the fruit pulp into the bowls, and gave the wooden spoon to An An. "Eat!"

An An held the bowl in one hand and the spoon in the other, and began to eat slowly.

Shen Rong put a piece of it into another bowl and asked her son, "Do you want to eat it?"

Ping Ping covered his nose and shook his head, "I won't eat stinky fruit!"

Seeing this, Shen Rong had no choice but to accept it with a smile.

Changsheng, who had just come down from the tree, did not follow the mother and daughter's instructions. He simply used the durian shell to hold the durian flesh and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

If his daughter dares to eat the fruit, there is no reason why his father should not dare to eat it.

The three of them ate happily, and the taste became stronger as more shells were opened.

After smelling it for a while, they didn't think it smelled bad anymore.

Pingping, who was watching from the side, was no exception. Seeing the fruit flesh opening up more and more, and his parents and sister unable to stop eating, he couldn't help but wonder how delicious the stinky fruit was.

He came to Shen Rong hesitantly, "Mom, is this fruit really so delicious?"

Shen Rong glanced at her son, then looked at the tall durian tree. "It's delicious, but it's too hard to pick."

Changsheng swallowed the durian meat in his mouth and said to Shen Rong: "If you want to eat it in the future, tell me and I will pick it."

Shen Rong nodded and handed her son a piece of fruit pulp. "Try it too. Your sister dares to eat it. You are still a boy. Don't worry, it won't poison you. If you don't like it, just spit it out."

Shen Rong knew from medical books that this fruit was nourishing and good for the body, so she coaxed her son to eat it.

Pingping was stimulated by his mother and didn't care whether it smelled or not. He took the fruit, closed his eyes, took a bite, and then swallowed it whole like Bajie eating the ginseng fruit.

“It doesn’t seem to be that bad!”

It's not that it wasn't unpalatable, it's that he was afraid of feeling nauseous, so he swallowed the flesh as soon as it entered his mouth and didn't taste anything at all.

Seeing this, Shen Rong did not expose him, but just said: "Since it's not bad, then eat this piece."

From a durian weighing more than 30 kilograms, the flesh that comes out is at least 10 kilograms.

There was no way the three of them could finish eating so much fruit pulp.

When Pingping took another bite of the fruit, the light in her eyes was exactly the same as when her sister first tasted it.

"It's delicious!" He had time to praise it and then started eating it with big mouthfuls.

In the blink of an eye, he finished a large piece of durian flesh.

In a short while, the family of four had eaten only half of the more than ten pounds of durian flesh, and a pile of large and small fruit cores were piled on the ground.

Shen Rong felt full after eating two pieces. Seeing that the two children were still eating, she hurriedly stopped them.

"No matter what you eat, you should eat it in moderation. You have already eaten a few pieces of the pulp. You can eat the rest next time."

An An and Ping Ping wiped their mouths with a look of unsatisfied feeling.

There were endless fruits in the space, so the brother and sister never ate too much. When Shen Rong said they couldn't eat anymore, they both stopped.

But Changsheng has a big appetite and can finish one of these soft fruits by himself.

Finally, Changsheng put all the peeled fruit flesh into his stomach, and put the remaining two chambers of flesh that had not been opened in the space for next time.

"Such soft and sticky flesh is perfect for grandpa, grandma and the old lady." Shen Rong sighed as she looked at the half-opened durian.

Unfortunately, such fruits cannot be obtained without connections in the south.

People like them who have no foundation at all certainly cannot take it out, so they can only eat it secretly.

After eating the fruit, the family rinsed their mouths and changed into thin coats. After the smell on their bodies dissipated, the family of four came out of the space.

The next day, the renovation of the mansion was still going on. The old lady went out early in the morning. When she came back, she asked Nanny Hua to invite Shen Rong and his wife to Minghui Courtyard.

"We need to deal with the rumors in the capital as soon as possible. I have made some inquiries and found that in addition to the Spring Banquet held by the Princess's Mansion, there is also the Flowers Banquet on February 15th.

We, the Marquis of Pingyang, are not eligible to attend the Princess' Spring Banquet, but we can attend the Flowers Banquet, but there are some requirements for attending it. "At this point, the old lady showed a trace of embarrassment on her face.

Shen Rong thought of how Mr. Liu spent eight thousand taels of silver to buy a camellia for the Flower Festival, and she began to guess what the old lady was asking for.

The old lady did not let the two of them guess too much, and only said: "Anyone who attends the banquet must use precious flowers and plants as a gift before they can enter the banquet.

This banquet is different from other banquets. There is no food or wine, only flower competitions. The flower that wins the prize at the end will have its value increased a hundred times."

After listening to the old lady's explanation, Shen Rong decided in her heart that she and Changsheng would attend this banquet.

"Madam, let's join this banquet."

The old lady shook her head and said, "All those who can attend this banquet are rare and precious. You must know the situation in our mansion."

Shen Rong nodded, "Madam, as long as there is a slight possibility, I would like to give it a try."

The old lady thought about it and thought that young people were full of energy. As an old woman, she couldn't always discourage her children. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try, so she said, "Go if you want to!"

The Flower Festival in the capital was usually led by the government and organized by the people. The nobles in the capital then extended the festival to include the Banquet for Flowers, with the Jingzhao Yin arranging all matters.

There is no rule that only noble families can participate in the Banquet of Flowers. As long as there are rare flowers and plants, everyone from royal aristocrats to ordinary people and merchants can sign up to participate.

That being said, the families who can really afford to bring out rare flowers and plants are all wealthy families with rich assets and those noble families. Most ordinary people do not have rare flowers and plants to participate.

However, there are sometimes exceptions.

Every year there are always some people who go up the mountain to look for exotic flowers and plants. If they are lucky enough to come across rare flowers and plants, and bring them to a banquet for flowers, and if they are noticed by a noble, then they will never have to worry for the rest of their lives.

For this reason, after the beginning of spring every year, you can always see common people on the hills not far from the capital.

However, there were wild beasts in the mountains. In order to ensure the safety of the people, the government had driven them away many times and not allowed them to go up the mountains. But there were always a few brave ones who ran up the mountains.

The old lady thought that Shen Rong and Changsheng were going into the mountains to look for rare flowers and plants, so she told Shen Rong all of this.

"Don't even mention that there are wild animals in the mountains. Even if there aren't, it would be hard for you to find exotic flowers and plants in the mountains."

After all, the people living nearby have searched all the places where people can enter, so how could it be their turn?

Shen Rong just said: "Don't worry, old lady, we won't go into the mountain, we'll just give it a try, and if it doesn't work, we'll think of other ways."
