My fruit shop became popular in the world

Wen Xiao is a sophomore in the Faculty of Science of Tianhai University University. He has no classes in the afternoon, so he makes an appointment with his roommate to go out to eat at the Internet celebrity restaurant where he has planted grass for a long time.

When she walked to Student Street, she saw people queuing up ahead, so she came forward to watch curiously.

When she got closer, she saw a tall and handsome man surrounded by a crowd, holding a large tray firmly in his hand, and was distributing paper cups to the people around him.

"Everyone come and try our passion fruit juice, 100% pure natural juice, without any additives except water." The handsome guy said.

The handsome guy has a good voice that complements his appearance, which makes Wen Xiao, who has heavy voice control, very excited. Regardless of his roommate's objection, he dragged her to queue.

The roommate was helpless: "Xiaoxiao, calm down, don't waste time. That restaurant can't get a number online, you can only queue up on the spot. If you go late, we may not be able to eat until midnight!"

At this moment, Wen Xiao's heart and mind were filled with the soul-stirring voice, staring at Xuan Chu with a silly smile: "It's okay, it won't be too long. You let me talk to my male god, or I will die without regret."

roommate:"."

It's not like to curse yourself like that...

The roommate sighed and had to line up with her.

Fortunately, although the team is long, the speed of advancement is very fast, and it will be their turn soon.

"This is the latest Passion Fruit Juice in our store. Please taste it, both of you." Seeing that the two of them came together, Xuan Chu simply picked up two paper cups between his fingers and handed them over.

Although the roommate is not a voice control, it is a hand control.She stared at the slender, white hands with well-proportioned joints, and her heart swayed a little.

As for Wen Xiao, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself, he squeezed his roommate's hand hard, trying hard to suppress the desire to scream.

The two walked to the side with the paper cups in their hands, Wen Xiao was still immersed in the emotion of "Wow, the male god talked to me, and the life of the Sa family is complete, woo woo", and was suddenly dragged by his roommate.

I saw my roommate pointing at the paper cup, stuttering with excitement: "Drink, drink it!"

Wen Xiao cast a strange look at her, and casually raised his glass.

To be honest, she didn't really expect how good the passion fruit juice would taste, she was willing to line up entirely because of Xuan Chu's face and that ecstatic voice.

She was stunned when the juice entered her mouth.

The juice is clear, with a faint sourness in the sweetness, the taste is distinct and the aftertaste is endless.

Wen Xiao wanted to drink again, but found that the cup was empty.

"..." She and her roommate looked at each other.

"I think it doesn't matter if you go to the restaurant later?"

"I'm thirsty, why don't we buy a glass of juice first, so we'll be more motivated to wait in line?"

Both were a little vacillating.

Xuanchu specially opened up a corner in the store to sell juices, Zhang Chao and Ye Zhi are busy, the two cooperate quite tacitly, one is responsible for breaking the fruit and extracting the flesh, and the other is responsible for preparing the juice.

"No. 68," Ye Zhi called out, "Is No. 68 here?"

"Here we come." A girl squatting in front of the store sucking cats echoed repeatedly.

The girl ran past Wen Xiao like a gust of wind, took the juice cup, and impatiently took a big sip, her expression rippling: "Ah, it's delicious~"

Wen Xiao exchanged a look with his roommate, and no longer hesitated: "Come on the duck!"

This is a day worth recording in the history of Wonderful Fruits.

On this day, the fruit shop ushered in the largest number of customers since its opening. The originally empty shop was full of people, and a group of people crowded at the door to watch brown sugar play with balls of yarn.

Wen Xiao and his roommate squeezed out of the crowd contentedly holding a large glass of passion fruit juice, and when they were about to leave, they stopped abruptly.

"Xiaoxiao, is that Professor Wu?" The roommate asked uncertainly.

"Yes, it's Professor Wu." Wen Xiao observed for a moment, and said firmly.

Professor Wu Mingwu is the leader of their School of Biological Sciences, with a lot of titles, the kind of academic master who enjoys special state allowances.

"Why is Professor Wu here?" The two looked at each other.

Rumor has it that Professor Wu is obsessed with academics, and even though he is over sixty years old, he still stays in the laboratory all day long.Apart from academics, he is not interested in eating, drinking and having fun, and he is rarely seen outside of school.

The two girls were hesitating whether to say hello to Professor Wu, when they saw the serious old man stop at the entrance of Wonderful Fruit Store, and scrutinized the passion fruits neatly placed on the shelves.

Passion fruit is brown-red in color, round in shape, and the smooth peel is shiny in the bright afternoon light.

Just from the outside, I can't find any faults.

But Professor Wu is very clear that in order to pursue profit, the current merchants will process the fruit. The most common method is waxing, which is not only to preserve freshness, but also to make the fruit more colorful and smooth.

Since the current domestic regulations on fruit waxing have not yet established a complete and strict system, some unscrupulous merchants replace edible wax with industrial wax that is harmful to human body in order to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Professor Wu picked up a passion fruit and looked at it carefully.

In order to protect themselves, the fruit itself will secrete natural fruit wax.

The passion fruit in his hand feels smooth and seems to be covered with fruit wax, but to know what kind of wax it is, further research is needed.

"Where's the boss?" he asked.

At this moment, there are more customers buying fruit juice, Xuan Chu is not busy distributing samples, and greets him with a smile: "I am the boss, may I ask what customers need?"

He had noticed Professor Wu a long time ago. As soon as he entered the store, he looked around with serious and critical eyes, not like an ordinary customer.

Professor Wu glanced at Xuan Chu, his brows were tightly furrowed.

A young man with hands and feet, doing something wrong, insists on engaging in false marketing.

Looking around again, there was a lot of noise in front of the juice counter, a group of young people were vying to buy passion fruit juice, and they almost had an argument over the queue.

It's ridiculous.

Professor Wu shook his head resentfully.

He is not completely ignorant of the world, he knows that the current students like to drink those drinks mixed with various food additives, which is unhealthy, but the key point is that it is not necessarily safe.

——Who knows if businesses will use rotten fruits or even chemical additives to make juice in order to reduce costs?

However, as a professor in the field of natural sciences, he is very rigorous in both academics and life, and he will not jump to conclusions before being verified.

He said stiffly: "I want to buy this passion fruit."

Xuan Chu's smile remained the same, and he was not dissatisfied at all because the other party only bought one passion fruit: "Okay, I will pack it for you."

Professor Wu's impression of him has changed: "Don't pretend, I'll eat now."

After paying, Professor Wu didn't start eating immediately, but bent his fingers first, and gently scraped the surface of the peel with his nails.

If it is artificial waxing, the fruit wax is easily scraped off as white powder, but natural fruit wax is not.If using industrial wax, wipe the surface of the fruit with a paper towel, and the color may even come out.

Professor Wu's nails are clean.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, borrowed a fruit knife from Xuan Chu, and made a cut on the top of the passion fruit.

A strong fruity aroma emerges.

"Does the guest need a small spoon?"

Professor Wu was stunned for a moment before recovering, and nodded slightly.

One minute later, he silently put down the passion fruit that had been scraped until only the shell remained.

He didn't say a word, but he couldn't calm down in his heart.

For professional reasons, he has tasted a variety of fruits, many of which are famous all over the country and even the world.

But he had to admit that no matter how expensive or rare the fruit was, it didn't touch him as much as this unknown passion fruit.

As if the time went back to more than 40 years ago, he was still a young boy, and on a sunny afternoon, he met a girl who moved his heart all his life.

The girl later became his wife, but because of the trivialities of daily necessities, she gradually forgot the feeling of first love.

Now the original heartbeat was awakened again, because of a passion fruit.

Seeing that Professor Wu suddenly had tears in his eyes, Xuanchu was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Old man, do you need help?"

Professor Wu suddenly came back to his senses and gave him a complicated look.

Originally, he came here for the "crackdown on counterfeiting". Because of his preconceived ideas, he had a certain prejudice against the fruit shop, but he didn't want this shop to surprise him.

Of course, the quality of the fruit does not mean that there is no problem with the promotion of the merchants.

Xuanchu didn't quite understand the meaning of Professor Wu's hesitant eyes, and was thinking about it, when he heard the other party say, "Give me another five catties of passion fruit."

This is a big client!

Xuan Chu smiled like a spring breeze: "Okay, no problem, I will pack it for you right away."

Five catties of fruit is a bit heavy for an adult man, let alone an old man like Professor Wu who has been dealing with academics all his life.

Xuan Chu was a little confused.

If the fruit shop is not busy, he can help deliver the fruit to the old man's home, but right now the shop is booming, even with the help of Zhang Chao and Ye Zhi, he is too busy to leave.

At this time, he heard someone whisper: "Boss, let's help send Professor Wu back."

Xuan Chu followed the sound and saw two familiar faces, one of them was holding a glass of passion fruit juice.

"Professor Wu? Is he your teacher?" Xuan Chu asked.

Professor Wu also took a closer look at the two girls and found that they didn't know each other.

Wen Xiao blushed and said, "This is a professor from our school. Professor Wu, we are sophomores in biology."

It's rare to be able to talk to the boss, and she doesn't even care about the nymphomaniac Xuan Chu.

Professor Wu nodded, and rarely forced a smile: "Then trouble the two young students."

He was thinking at first, if it doesn't work, he will ask his graduate students to get the fruit, anyway, these passion fruits are also bought for experiments.

Wen Xiao and his roommate sent five catties of passion fruit to the laboratory building of the Academy of Biological Sciences. The students who were doing experiments inside said "wow" in surprise and asked, "Mr. Wu, this is for us to eat." ?"

Don't look at Professor Wu's hasty temper and always has a straight face. After getting along for a long time, you will find that he is a very cute old man. The graduate students under him are afraid of him and like him at the same time.

"If the experiment is done, you will know how to eat it!" Professor Wu stared.

The students stick out their tongues and dare not speak.jpg

Wen Xiao thought in awe, he really deserves to be a boss.

Professor Wu said again: "Come here, two people, take the passion fruit for testing. Leave me a few fruits, and you will share the rest."

"Long live Teacher Wu!" The students cheered up again.

"The two little classmates also stay and eat." Professor Wu turned to Wen Xiao and her roommate.

The two looked at each other, swallowed hard, and said in unison: "Thank you, Professor!"

What is the importance of passion fruit in Internet celebrity restaurants?

Prof. Wu does not need to do such a job as fruit detection, so he told the students to take the passion fruit home.

Find the little old lady at home and relive the taste of first love.
