Chapter 2871 The Talent of Smell

Yan Mingshun asked Aunt Fang to go to the kitchen and pick out fruits of different degrees of freshness, and then bring them out after they were picked.

Aunt Fang came out soon, and on the plate were a few white jade cherries, chopped peaches, watermelons and lychees.

Yan Mingshun forked them and fed them to the piglet one by one.

"Smelly..."

"Average!"

"Not bad."

"Sweet."

The piglet hated lychees the most, saying they were smelly. Watermelons were average, peaches were okay, and cherries were the most popular. He ate several in a row, but he was still not satisfied. He even lost his sleepiness and scrambled around the plate to find cherries.

"Grandma, go wash them for you. These cherries are grown by our family. Xiao Lao just picked them this morning. They are big and sweet." Grandma Yang washed a large plate of cherries and let the three children eat them by themselves.

Yan Mingshun pointed to the fruits on the plate and asked, "Did you buy the lychees from the supermarket?"

"Yes, I picked the freshest ones." Aunt Fang really felt strange. These lychees tasted almost the same as fresh ones to her, so why would the piglet say they were smelly?

"The watermelon is an early-maturing variety. I bought it two days ago. The peaches were picked yesterday, and the cherries were picked this morning." Aunt Fang pointed at the fruits and introduced them one by one.

Yan Mingshun had a rough idea. The time Aunt Fang said matched the piglet's dislike.

"You picky little bastard..." Meimei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't want to eat it after just one day. It was too difficult to please him!

Yan Mingshun found the problem. No matter what food the piglet ate, he would smell it before eating, then take a bite, and then smell it again... If it tasted good, he would eat more, and if it didn't taste good, he would not eat it.

This shows that the piglet relied on smell to judge whether the food was delicious or not.

Maybe...

Yan Mingshun had a new guess. He lowered his head and asked the piglet who kept eating cherries, "Don't you want to walk because it's smelly outside?"

"Well... stinky." The piglet nodded, ate all the cherries on the plate, yawned with satisfaction, and couldn't hold on any longer. He fell asleep leaning on Yan Mingshun.

He was exhausted after talking so much.

Yan Mingshun put the piglet on the sofa.

The little guy frowned slightly, not too satisfied with the sleeping environment. Yan Mingshun had to carry him back to his own room. When he fell on the bed, the piglet relaxed his eyebrows with satisfaction and fell asleep.

"I don't know whether this talent of yours is a blessing or a trouble for you!"

Yan Mingshun smiled helplessly. He was basically sure that the piglet's talent was the ability to distinguish and be sensitive to smells. This little guy had a nose more sensitive than Xue'er's, and could distinguish smells that ordinary people couldn't smell. Moreover, the normal fragrance or odor would be amplified dozens or even hundreds of times by the piglet.

That's why the piglet didn't like to eat meat, and odorous foods such as onions, ginger, and garlic, and even refused all seasonings except salt and sugar.

He was not curious about the outside world at all, because he could smell it... It would be strange if the piglet was interested in a world full of odors.

Meimei also came up. Seeing Xiaozhu falling asleep again, she said worriedly, "I think we should take Xiaozhu to the hospital for a checkup. It's not right for him to sleep like this all the time."

Normally, for someone of Xiaozhu's age, sleeping twelve or thirteen hours a day is enough. For someone as energetic as Naonao, sleeping for at most eleven or twelve hours is enough. But Xiaozhu can sleep for more than twenty hours, or even more. It's definitely not normal.

Yan Mingshun couldn't figure it out. Thirst and sleepiness must have nothing to do with smell. Could Xiaozhu have other problems?

"Let's go now. I'll call the hospital." Yan Mingshun agreed.
