Why didn’t Tang Monk eat the ginseng fruit in “Journey to the West”?

Everyone who has read "Journey to the West" knows that Tang Monk and his disciples passed by Zhenyuan Immortal's Wuzhuang Temple on their way to the West. The boy gave Tang Monk two ginseng fruits to taste.

But Tang Monk kept chanting "Amitabha" and looked at the two ginseng fruits that looked like dolls. He waved his hands and refused to eat them.

Later, when Zhu Bajie ate the ginseng fruit, he swallowed it in one gulp without tasting any of it.

I believe that many people born in the 1980s were curious about this ginseng fruit when they were young, and wanted to know whether eating it could really lead to immortality.

It was not until later that "ginseng fruit" actually appeared on the market (as shown in the picture above).

But this looks more like a gourd baby! Calabash baby, Calabash baby, seven flowers on a vine. Don't be afraid of wind or rain, blah blah blah.

After understanding, this ginseng fruit is actually a kind of melon, which was molded into a "human shape" when it was a small fruit.

With this mold, not to mention ginseng fruits, ginseng pears, and ginseng watermelons can grow.

The texture and taste of this kind of ginseng fruit are very average. If you try it once, you probably won’t buy it again.

In addition to this "model fruit", ginseng fruit does exist. Its original name is cantaloupe and eggplant.

Ginseng fruit does not look like a human, but looks a bit like a human heart.

The pulp is fragrant and juicy, has no seeds in the abdomen, has a unique flavor, and has the characteristics of high protein, low fat, and low sugar. It is also a dual-purpose fruit and vegetable food.

The ginseng fruit on the market costs about 4 to 8 yuan per pound. Anyone who has eaten it can tell you, do you think it is delicious?

Buddhist young people should not eat ginseng fruit, right?

The one that is delicious must be "Zhu Bajie".
