#868 - Tang Monk: If you want to eat, you should eat big children.
At that moment, Qing Feng and Ming Yue held the ginseng fruit in their arms, as if holding a supreme treasure, and hurried towards the main hall.
Ming Yue handed out two ginseng fruits and said loudly:
"Elder Tang, our Wuzhuang Temple is poor and has nothing to offer, only two local fruits for refreshment."
While saying they were poor, Ming Yue was very proud when handing out the ginseng fruits!
Upon seeing this, the elder trembled and stayed three feet away, saying:
"No, no, how can such small children quench my thirst?"
Ming Yue laughed inwardly, Tang Sanzang's reaction was completely within Ming Yue's expectations.
After all, ginseng fruit is an incomparably precious immortal fruit, and it looks very much like a child, so it is normal for Tang Sanzang to feel scared at first sight!
Bumpkin, ignorant, coward!
Ming Yue had already laughed out loud, but he still explained seriously:
"This is a wonderful immortal fruit, it is ginseng fruit, also known as Caohuan Dan. It blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and takes another three thousand years to ripen, making it edible only after ten thousand years. But eating it is harmless!"
"Our Wuzhuang Temple is poor and can't offer anything else, so we can only offer the ginseng fruit, one of the four great innate spiritual roots, to entertain everyone!"
"Hahahaha, don't dislike it, don't dislike it, it's just a mere ginseng fruit!"
"Smelling it will prolong your life by three hundred and sixty years; eating one will prolong your life by forty-seven thousand years! Hahahaha!"
Ming Yue was still a child after all, and he was beaming with joy when showing off, holding the ginseng fruit, which was only the size of a child's fist, with great pride.
However, what Ming Yue did not expect was that,
the faces of the four members of the Journey to the West showed no trace of admiration, let alone shock. On the contrary, they were really perfunctory.
Tang Sanzang waved his hand,
"Forget it, such small children, I won't eat them."
Ming Yue was displeased,
"Eat it! Why don't you give me face! My master painstakingly picked out two for you to eat, don't waste them!"
Tang Sanzang's expression was complicated.
The next second, Tang Sanzang took out a giant ginseng fruit the size of an adult's head from behind him, and sighed,
"This poor monk has already said, how can such small children quench my thirst?"
"If you want to eat, you have to eat a big child!"
Qing Feng and Ming Yue were dumbfounded when they saw the huge ginseng fruit in Tang Sanzang's hand!
They were completely stunned!
They had been helping to plant ginseng fruits for several years, how could they not be familiar with the aura of ginseng fruits?!
The huge ginseng fruit in Tang Sanzang's hand was a genuine ginseng fruit!
Moreover, the richness of that aura was a hundred times greater than the baby fist-sized ginseng fruit in their hands!
Compared with the ginseng fruit in Tang Sanzang's hand, theirs was just a gleam of rice, how dare they compete with the bright moon?
They couldn't believe their eyes!
Ming Yue swallowed, but was shocked and said:
"I have never seen such a large ginseng fruit in my life, it must be extremely rare, I am afraid there is only one in the world, where did you get it?!"
Tang Sanzang and his three disciples looked at each other, their faces filled with serious contemplation.
The next second, Sun Wukong frowned and took out the second giant ginseng fruit from behind him,
Sun Wukong: "Extremely rare?"
Qing Feng and Ming Yue were startled and took two steps back!
Zhu Bajie also took out the third giant ginseng fruit from behind him and hesitated:
"There is only one in the world?"
Qing Feng and Ming Yue were startled again, took a few steps back, and fell to the ground!
Sha Wujing scratched his head and took out the fourth giant ginseng fruit from behind him, and said very seriously:
"This matter has to be asked of the Emperor."
Everyone looked at Chu Hao,
but they saw Chu Hao throwing ginseng fruits into his personal space one by one.
[Congratulations on successfully clocking out of work. Thirty ginseng fruits, twenty sets of acquired spiritual treasures]
Just as the hour of You had arrived, Chu Hao clocked out of work and received these things. He took out four to share, and also used them as dinner.
Chu Hao counted the ginseng fruits, and muttered in his mouth: "Twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five... Well, enough to eat for three days."
Qing Feng and Ming Yue looked at Chu Hao as if they were dumbfounded.
They clearly saw that Chu Hao actually had twenty-odd, nearly thirty ginseng fruits!
Moreover, each one was about the same size as the one Tang Sanzang ate!
Qing Feng swallowed,
"What did he just say?"
Ming Yue almost cried,
"He actually said that nearly thirty ginseng fruits can only be used for three days of meals! Wuwuwu! What's going on?!"
Chu Hao turned his head and looked at Qing Feng and Ming Yue suspiciously,
"Don't you guys eat afternoon tea?"
"I'm afraid you'll laugh at us if I say it, but we've been eating some flat peaches, Huangzhongli, imperial wine and fairy brew, and at the very least, dragon liver and phoenix marrow, because we're afraid of not getting enough nutrition."
"Alas, life is already so hard, and these remaining twenty-odd small ginseng fruits won't last for a few days."
Qing Feng and Ming Yue's worldviews were shattered, and their minds were buzzing!
Ming Yue's head was buzzing,
"Is the gap between people so big?"
"The entire ginseng fruit tree, not eating for I don't know how many years, only barely has twenty-eight fruits on the tree! We are reluctant to eat one even after ten thousand years! And we only pick the smallest ones to eat!"
"What is going on with this Gouchen Emperor? Why does he have so many ginseng fruits, and his ginseng fruits... are so big!"
"How can he say that he eats ginseng fruits for afternoon tea?! Shouldn't such precious resources be treasured?!"
Ming Yue had been impacted by Chu Hao's brutal and restrained afternoon tea behavior, and his worldview had been completely shattered, and he was close to being demented!
Qing Feng and Ming Yue were extremely shocked, especially the naive and boastful Ming Yue, whose young heart was endlessly hit, and had a little psychological shadow.
Chu Hao didn't know the situation at all.
He remembered that Zhen Yuanzi held the ginseng fruit tree, which was not just for tens of thousands of years. Chu Hao didn't know that taking out these ginseng fruits would hurt their young hearts.
Seeing Qing Feng and Ming Yue shocked and speechless, Chu Hao frowned slightly, pondered, and asked suspiciously:
"Flat peaches, ginseng fruits, imperial wine and fairy brew, dragon liver and phoenix marrow, immortal pills and wonderful medicines... are all afternoon tea sets!"
"Isn't it normal to eat some afternoon tea? Shouldn't your master Zhen Yuanzi, who is so awesome, eat some?"
Chu Hao really didn't lie, the pilgrimage team usually eats like this.
It's just that Tang Sanzang can't eat many of them. Tang Sanzang's mortal body would normally die directly after eating these high-energy things, only the ginseng fruit that nourishes the spirit can be eaten.
And usually Sun Wukong and his three junior brothers have been fed so much afternoon tea by Chu Hao that their horizons have also been raised.
On the other hand, Qing Feng and Ming Yue were completely dumbfounded after hearing Chu Hao's words.
Zhu Bajie shook his head and said: "Boss, don't say any more, Wuzhuang Temple is indeed poor and has nothing to offer."
Ming Yue: I can't be ordinary anymore...
