New Normal Durian

新常态榴莲

从小到大吃榴莲就是好享受与实体榴莲的一个亲密接触，可以透过观感，触觉，嗅觉与听觉与个别榴莲来个“互动”。榴莲不会开口说话，从观感，一个开始裂开了嘴的榴莲，可以肯定它已经逐渐“走味”“漏风”了；嗅一嗅榴莲，扑鼻芬香的浓郁味，可以略知榴莲果肉的够熟度；在耳边左右摇晃一个榴莲，内里果肉所传来的回应声，告诉你它是否熟透可以就即是吃了。各型各款，各种的体型的特征，让我们分辨各种不同的榴莲。一家大小围在一起吃榴莲，期待那开启出来的每一个榴莲，是苦，是甜，是半生熟，是生番薯？大家都在追问那抓取吃第一颗榴莲的人，从他/她的脸部表情去推敲该个榴莲的口味。每每遇到一个难于开启的榴莲时（比如D2种），一家大小都会围着那个操刀的人，看着他使劲手力去掰，给予加油和打气，榴莲开启了，大家才来为之而松下一口气！围食榴莲好比围炉一样，是一种联谊家庭感情的活动，一种难于去形容的享受！

好啦！新冠肺炎的来袭，人人已有心理准备，人人步入了一个新常态的生活日子。榴莲也在这个时候冒起了新常态。买卖榴莲放弃了实体摆卖，转战互联网，盒装榴莲果肉大行其道。新常态榴莲给人一个失去暖度的感觉，果肉冰冷的并排“躺”在透明的“棺盒“内，再也散发不出原有浓郁扑鼻的香，再也不能言语！一切只能由贩商来代言，贩商打着广告说，这是“猫山王”，盒装的果肉也无法“说服”你，它到底是不是猫山王！食用盒装榴莲，固然方便，从此也失去了围在一起食用榴莲的情趣了！新常态榴莲的出现，看来实体榴莲的买卖，即将加快脚步的走向历史，一天也只能让我们在回忆中去补抓一二了！

贴一枚传统榴莲摆卖极限片，共赏。

New Normal Durian

I used to eat durian by buying the Durian fruit in whole. Just like to get a real feel of a durian fruit. See it with your own eyes, feel it with your own hands, smell it with your own nose, hear the rattling sound of the fruit by shaking it near to the ears. Although, Durian does not speak, every fruit gives me a personal feel of the close encounter with the fruit. I do enjoy very much to eat durian with family members sitting closely around, eating durian enhances a family fellowship.

Covid-19 gives rise to a New Normal life, and so do Durian buying and selling activities. As it is, durian trading begins to forgo the trading by the streets and retail shops, aggressively, more are advertising and selling the fruit in transparent plastic boxes on internet. As end users, we are no longer buying durian in whole with fruits in a thorny husk. A New Normal Durian is one with fruits extracted and placed in a plastic box. Whether you like it or NOT, the age of New Normal Durian is coming …..
