    At the edge of the silver beach, Jiang Yichen and three of his men harvested newly ripe coconuts.  Chapter Updated Fastest After the picking of the first coconut tree was completed, everyone came to another tree.  Lai Shun'er recommended himself and asked him to climb up this time so he could feel the tall, smooth tree trunk.  Shi Suoer naturally agreed and stepped forward to help him put on the ankle buckle and safety belt.  Lai Shun'er was also very agile and quickly adapted to this "high-tech" climbing tool. He bowed his waist and climbed up, and it took him about five minutes to reach the top of the tree.  "Not bad, not bad. We are almost catching up with chimpanzees. Well, if the ears were bigger and there were white spots on the back, it would look more like me." Xizi folded his arms and looked up, then made another comment.  Pay back the teasing you just suffered.  "Xizi, be careful with your head!" Lai Shun'er screamed and made a throwing gesture with his right hand.  Xizi was immediately startled and quickly stepped back, almost sitting on the ground.  "Haha, coward." Lai Shun'er curled his lips when he saw that he had been fooled, then pulled out the machete on his back belt and started working.  Everybody burst into laughter.  "Okay, okay, stop it. It's very dangerous to do this job, so don't joke around." Jiang Yichen immediately stopped him and reminded everyone to keep a safe distance.  After a while, the coconuts fell one by one, throwing up patches of dust.  Jiang Yichen made a rough calculation in his mind. The size and quantity of coconuts produced by this tree are similar to the one just now. It seems that the growth of this same batch is quite even.  In this way, the islanders harvested coconuts from five trees in a row.  It came to an end for the time being, and then began to move baskets into the bamboo building warehouse.  The warehouse on the first floor of the bamboo building is not very wide, and there are some other items in it.  As soon as more than three hundred big balls were stuffed inside, it was basically full.  But it doesn¡¯t matter. Uphill to the north is where the cave was located.  Since the bamboo building was built, it has been used as a warehouse. The area inside is not small, and it is more than enough to store the rest of the coconuts.  After lunch, everyone was eager to try this new coconut.  A wooden cutting board has been prepared on the dining table.  Laishun'er picked a big coconut.  Rest on top.  He was holding a kitchen knife in his right hand and pulling the coconut back and forth with his left hand to observe, frowning and wondering where to start.  Seeing that he had no idea, Shi Suoer was about to step forward to help.  However, Xizi secretly grabbed the belt around her waist.  At the same time, he winked at him.  A smirk appeared on his lips.  Shi Suoer immediately understood that this person clearly wanted to have fun watching the little leader get into trouble.  That being the case.  So just wait and see what happens.  Lai Shun'er recalled seeing people enjoying coconuts on TV before, and it seemed that they all drank through straws.  But the shell is thick and hard, so it seems not easy to drill a hole in it.  ¡°Well, it should be easier to chop it first to make the skin thinner, and then use a sharp knife to drill a hole.  Having made up his mind, he pressed the coconut with one hand, raised the kitchen knife with the other hand, and began to tentatively chop the hard skin on one end of the coconut.  ??Click, the green outer skin was peeled off piece by piece, revealing the white thick fibrous tissue inside.  Poof, Lai Shun'er used a little more force, and a stream of juice spurted out from the damaged opening, splashing everywhere, and a considerable part of it fell on the operator's face.  Hahahaha, Xizi and Shi Suoer immediately leaned forward and backward, overjoyed.  Seeing this, Lao Dou quickly handed over a wet towel, and Lai Shun'er wiped it on his face a few times, and then glared at Xizi and his wife.  "Why are you glaring at me? You may have done it yourself, and it was not my command." Xizi said carelessly.  Old Dou ignored the quarrels among the youngsters. He quickly stepped forward and straightened the broken coconut on the chopping board, then took two large bowls and poured coconut water into the bowls along the gap.  The juice is transparent and clear, and there is a lot of it, almost filling two large bowls.  "Shi Suo'er, come here and fix it." Lai Shun'er ordered.  He then remembered that there was a foodie standing next to him, who must know how to pack such a big round ball.  "Okay, okay, I'll do it." Shi Suo'er agreed and grabbed another coconut from the basket.  Put it on the chopping board and look at it for a few times, then use a kitchen knife to peel off one end of the skin.  "There is also something special about packing coconuts. They can't be messed up. Hey, did you see it? Peel off the skin on the top. There will be three eyes here. Just insert a straw and drink." Shi Suo'er was operating while doing so.  Explain the correct method.  When the audience heard this, they all put their heads together, and sure enough, the coconut was?The traces of three natural holes are exposed, arranged in a triangle, which is really a magical scene.  Jiang Yichen was also watching curiously.  Knowledge is everywhere in all things in the world, he sighed secretly in his heart.  Shi Suo'er changed to a sharp fruit knife, opened two holes, found a straw, and inserted one of them easily.  At this point, the coconut with a straw in front of everyone is the same as what is often seen in TV travel and food programs.  "It's not bad, it's really not bad, let me have a taste of it." Xizi reached out and grabbed the coconut, wanting to taste it first.  But then he immediately remembered something, turned around again, and handed the coconut in his hand to Jiang Yichen.  "Haha, I almost forgot. Brother Chenzi, you come first." Xizi said with a smile.  "It's not easy to follow the rules this time." Lai Shun'er curled his lips and commented.  Jiang Yichen saw that everyone was turning their attention to him, so he had no choice but to take over.  Putting the straw into his mouth, he sucked it with a little force, and felt a surge of sweet juice pouring in, spreading instantly on his tongue, blowing over all his taste buds like an autumn wind, which lifted his spirits.  Natural coconut juice has this taste. It is not very sweet, light, not as rich as honey water, but it can penetrate into the heart and spleen, and at the same time, it also has a few wisps of clean fragrance rising into the nasal cavity, which is very useful.  Well, the taste and texture are pretty good, but it seems like there¡¯s still something missing?  By the way, environment and atmosphere.  Coconut, a tropical fruit, is naturally a perfect match for a sunny beach. If you lie on a beach chair at this time, with blue sea, blue sky and white clouds, and a green coconut on your chest and slowly sip it, it will definitely be a kind of laziness and pleasure.  , comfortable enjoyment.  In addition, like other products from the island, coconut milk also has that unique pure and transparent feeling. This is a common feature of all crops that have been nourished by space ice water. You will know when you try it, it is guaranteed to be fake.  .  "Not bad, it's quite refreshing." Jiang Yichen let go of the straw and nodded in approval.  Seeing him say this, the others couldn't hold it any longer.  Lao Dou found two more porcelain bowls, mixed the two bowls that had been filled with broken coconut juice on the table, and distributed them to everyone.  "Well, it tastes good." "It's quite refreshing and refreshing." "It might be better if it's iced." The quality of coconut milk was quickly recognized by everyone, and the island once again had a delicious pure natural drink.  Naturally, it is a happy event worthy of celebration.  "It's much better than anything I've ever tasted before. Everything grown on our island is really good. It's just that the sweetness is not as sweet as the wild honey water. It's a bit bland. Just add a little more sugar." Shi Suo'er put down the porcelain bowl.  , commented.  His taste is relatively strong, and the coconut milk feels a bit light.  "Your kid usually likes to eat fried food the most, and it is easy to get angry. Drinking some of this is the most suitable. It can clear away heat and detoxify you, relieve the heat, and avoid the long bumps on your face and neck." Lai Shun'er suggested.  "Yes, the pimple has grown more and more in the future and cannot be gone away. It looks like a toad. Girls must be disgusted with it. It will be so uncomfortable to be single for the rest of my life." Xizi added kindly.  Everyone was happy, Shi Suo'er looked embarrassed. To be honest, he also yearned for a girlfriend, but deep down he always felt that as a wage earner from the countryside, girls in the city couldn't reach him.  But after staying outside for a long time and seeing the world, the girls in his hometown village looked very rustic and had no feelings at all. They were typical people who could neither achieve high nor do low. This emotion still makes him confused and confused.  Fortunately, as an amateur gourmet, as long as he has something delicious, he can put aside this troublesome thing and stop thinking about it, which will only increase his worries.  "Hey, you know, actually the most delicious thing in coconuts is not the water." Shi Suo'er was unwilling to go further on this topic and quickly said something else.  "Oh, what is that? Isn't coconut just for drinking?" Lai Shuner asked curiously.  "Then you are wrong. In fact, the real good stuff is still inside. Many people who don't understand just throw away the shell after drinking the juice. That would be called a fool." Shi Suo'er showed a mysterious look on his face, and at the same time reached out to pat  He patted the broken empty coconut shell and made a puffing sound.  "Speak quickly and stop selling out." Xizi became impatient and urged.  Shi Suoer stopped talking, took the kitchen knife, held the coconut shell with one hand, turned the kitchen knife over with the other hand, rushed down with the back of the knife, and knocked it against the coconut shell.  After several consecutive blows, the coconut shell was cracked in half, revealing something as white as frost and snow inside.  ¡°This is it, coconut meat, this is the essence.¡± He immediately revealed the answer.  "Really? Let me try it."   After hearing this, Xizi quickly picked up the fruit knife from the table, shaved off a piece of raw coconut meat from the inner wall of the coconut shell, put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times.  "Well, it's quite crispy and tender, but it doesn't have much flavor." "That's not how you eat coconut meat. You have to pick it off with a spoon, put it in a blender and beat it into a pulp, and then filter it. This is the real thing.  Coconut milk, mixed with some sugar or honey, is called a beauty. It is ten times stronger than coconut water. Also, the filtered residue is also precious, called coconut milk, which can be used to make coconut cakes and coconut cakes.  ¡± Shi Suoer introduced in detail.  This statement made everyone very interested, so they all asked Shi Suo'er and Lao Dou to go to the kitchen as soon as possible and follow this plan to promote the healthy development of the island's gourmet industry.  Even Jiang Yichen became curious and asked Lao Dou to try it when he had time.  Since it was what everyone expected, Lao Dou did not dare to neglect it, so that day Shi Suoer and Shi Suoer started a special research project on coconut meat-related foods.  (To be continued)
