My fruit shop became popular in the world

Xuanchu's suggestion to watch the surveillance was unanimously supported by everyone.

Such an event came early in the morning, with the media present, and the street management office was also very nervous, for fear of affecting this year's selection of excellent streets--that is a big event related to the year-end awards!

So when Xuan Chu first asked to watch the surveillance, the management office readily agreed, and quickly called up the surveillance video from the street that day.

The woman is stupid, she didn't come to Student Street at all that day, so naturally she wouldn't be seen in the surveillance.

Just when she was anxious like an ant on a hot pot and didn't know what to do, a phone call came in.

"Hey, cousin, what do you think we should do now?" Seeing the caller ID, she hurriedly picked it up, lowered her voice, and asked eagerly.

"Okay, okay, just do it!" Hearing the instructions from the mobile phone clearly, the woman's eyes lit up, and she agreed repeatedly.

Over there, street workers are helping to check the surveillance video.

The woman suddenly said, "The sun was high that day, so I put up a parasol, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see anything on the surveillance camera."

Everyone looked at each other.

In the surveillance video, there are indeed many people holding umbrellas and unable to see their faces clearly.

Could the clues be broken again?

Xuan Chu smiled and said: "It's okay, the surveillance on the street can't catch it, but the surveillance in my store can always catch it."

"Boss Hu, does your store also have surveillance cameras installed?" The street staff breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, you should have said it earlier."

Xuanchu glanced at the crowd intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "I'm sorry, the monitoring was only installed last week, I forgot."

In the crowd, Li Dong's expression changed drastically.

It's really not as good as man's calculation, he has planned everything, but he can't calculate that there is such a variable.

The woman panicked: My cousin didn't teach her what to do in this situation on the phone just now!

"Ma'am, may I ask what time of day you came to our store to buy croissants?" Xuan Chu asked politely with the same smile.

However, in the eyes of some people, this friendly smile turned into a deadly poison.

"I, I..." The woman panicked, and finally had to change her words, "I remember wrongly, I didn't come that day, it was my husband."

"Hey——" There was a burst of hissing from the crowd, even the dullest people couldn't fail to see the abnormality of the woman.

"So it's really a lie?"

"Tsk tsk, this man is shameless."

"Call the police, boss, she must be trying to extort money!"

Hearing that someone proposed to call the police, the woman panicked completely, shook her head again and again, pointed at a certain place in the crowd and shouted: "It's not me, it's not me, it's my cousin, he taught me how to do it!"

Damn!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Dong wanted to turn around and run away.

But he was still a step behind.

In the blink of an eye, a lightning-like black shadow flitted across the air, unbiased, and came towards him.

Then, screams resounded over the student street.

***

Brown Tang nestled quietly in Xuan Chu's arms, describing it as cute.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that this cute-looking kitten actually sent a man of nearly 1.7 meters tall to the hospital with his own hands...

It was Li Dong's own fault. If he didn't run away, there wouldn't be any major problems.

But he ran away, and he ran so fast that the people around him couldn't catch up in time, so they couldn't rescue him from the cat's sharp claws in time.

When everyone finally arrived, Li Dong was so painful that he couldn't speak, lying on the ground with his feet on his back, leaving a few deep bloodstains on his face.

"Hiss!" The crowd gasped in unison.This thing hurts to look at!

Seeing her cousin like this, the woman turned pale and almost fainted.She touched her face subconsciously, feeling scared for a while.

Almost, the one who lost his appearance was her!

She was afraid that the black cat would also slap her, so she hurriedly said, "It's him, he told me to say that, I don't know anything!"

"This gentleman looks familiar." Xuan Chu raised his eyebrows at Li Dong with a half-smile, and gently rubbed Brown Tang's head as a sign of encouragement.

Seeing him approaching, Li Dong was terrified, trying to crawl back with his arms and legs, and said in a crying voice: "Go away, don't come here!"

Xuan Chu stood still, spread his hands innocently and said, "I didn't do anything."

Everyone looked at each other.

Yes, he didn't do anything because his cat did it for him!

Because of the woman's confession, the farce ended soon.

The video of the scene was filmed and posted online, sparking a lot of discussion.

"Shooting more videos again? It deserves it! This media always eats people|blood steamed buns, this time it hit the iron plate, right?"

"Maomao is so handsome, I want to marry!"

"Nowadays media people don't even want [horses] for the sake of traffic!"

"Fortunately, the fruit shop has installed monitoring, otherwise the boss would not be able to clean up if he fell into the Yellow River."

"I was at the scene, and I heard from the owner of the fruit shop that this reporter had been here before, but it failed, so this time I planned such an event."

"This person is too vicious!"

"Did you see it? The official statement of making more videos said that the reporter was going to be fired!"

"Hahaha, it's so satisfying!"

***

When Zhang Chao rushed to the fruit shop, the troublemaker and Li Dongzao ran away in despair, not even daring to ask for the medical expenses for being scratched by the cat.

The crowd of onlookers did not disperse, and they were still discussing the incident not long ago with great interest.

The most talked about is Xuan Chu's skillful use of surveillance to force the villains to act.

Others don't know that Zhang Chao, as a clerk in a fruit shop, has never seen surveillance in the shop.

He couldn't help asking Xuanchu: "Boss, when did our store install surveillance? Where is it?"

But Xuan Chu blinked at him and lowered his voice: "Shh, don't spread the word, I lied to them, there is no monitoring at all."

"..." Is that okay?

Zhang Chao was dumbfounded, and after a while he managed to say: "Boss, you are really brave!"

Xuan Chu shook his head triumphantly.

He is not brave, but has a good memory.

Taking a step back, even if the other party really asks to watch the surveillance, he is not afraid, he has his own way to make a real video.

"But boss, I think it's better for us to install a surveillance system. Now that our store has such a large traffic flow every day, installing a surveillance system can avoid a lot of trouble." Zhang Chao suggested.

Seeing Xuan Chu's solemn expression and silence, Zhang Chao suddenly became nervous, thinking that he had said something wrong, and tried to make up for it: "Hey, what, I'll just talk casually."

"No, I think what you said makes sense." Xuan Chu said thoughtfully, "Not only do we need to install surveillance cameras, but we also need to redecorate them."

"……what?!"

***

Xuan Chu didn't come on a whim.

Recently, the environmental situation in Qingqiu has improved, and the fruit production has increased day by day.At the same time, the passenger flow of fruit shops is also increasing day by day.

But an important issue also emerged.

The area of ​​the fruit shop is not enough. The aisle that two people can pass through is full of shelves, but now it is too crowded for one person to pass through.

More than one customer complained to Xuanchu about the small size of the store, saying that it greatly affected the shopping experience.

As a fruit merchant with ideals and aspirations, Xuanchu attaches great importance to the opinions of customers. After careful consideration, he decides to expand the store and redecorate it.

It just so happened that the stationery store next door quit. After Xuanchu learned about this, he immediately approached the owner and expressed that he would rent the store.

Of course, there is no previous preferential price for this rental——

Wonderful Fruit Store has broken the legend of the cursed storefront with its actual performance, which is really gratifying.

Soon the fruit shop posted an announcement stating that it will be re-expanded and renovated in the near future, and the store will be temporarily closed for a few days. We ask for the understanding of new and old customers.

The guests expressed their understanding, but at the same time they felt a little regretful.Especially those college students, seeing that the summer vacation is about to come, will they not be able to eat the Miracle brand fruit before going home?

Even Zhang Chao had the same worries, and couldn't help but ask Xuan Chu: "Boss, how long will we be renovating?"

During the period of working in the fruit shop, he can enjoy free "employee benefits" every day, and his mouth has long been spoiled. It would be a bit uncomfortable if he was not allowed to eat fruit for a while.

Xuan Chu thought for a while: "About three or four days."

"So fast?!" Zhang Chao was taken aback.

This time, the common wall between the two storefronts was to be opened up. Compared with ordinary decoration, the project was more complicated.Zhang Chao pondered, how could it take ten days and half a month?

Xuan Chuxin said, if it weren't for the suspicion of your human race, it could actually be faster.

He said calmly: "The decoration team said that this is a small project and it will not take any trouble."

After all, Zhang Chao is not a professional, so he is no doubt there, so he stopped entangled in this matter, and said goodbye to Xuan Chu: "Then the boss, I will go first, and you will notify me when the decoration is completed."

"Go, let's go." Xuan Chu waved goodbye, with a somewhat mysterious smile.

Decoration team?

nonexistent.

***

Zhang Chao received a call from Xuanchu, saying that the fruit shop had been renovated and told him to come back to work.

Really only took three days?

While being surprised, Zhang Chao thought to himself, maybe it's just a wall torn down and repainted, there won't be any major changes.

But when he saw the newly renovated fruit shop with his own eyes, he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

The first thought in his mind was, he must not have entered the wrong door, right?

He subconsciously looked up at the signboard, but fortunately, the signboard was still the original one, and he was right.

But how is it possible?In just three days, the whole store has become completely different from before!

The original fruit shop is no different from ordinary fruit shops, without too much decoration, the shelves are full of fruits, and when there are many people, it still looks a bit crowded.

But now, the size of the store has more than doubled, and the walls have been repainted. It is not a gloomy and dazzling dead white, but a very clean and comfortable color.

The widened aisle can accommodate three people walking side by side without being too crowded.

The cash register is set at the door, which is convenient for customers to pay.

The shelves used to display fruits are very distinctive, they are actually made of wood, the overall color is chestnut brown, the wood grain is fine and textured.

Zhang Chao clasped his fingers and tapped lightly on the surface of the shelf, and there was a dull echo, which was obviously not hollow.

"This is old chicken wenge!" An old man appeared out of nowhere, his eyes glued to the shelf, and he was amazed. "Wenge of this quality is not common now."

"Such a good thing is used to display fruits? What a waste!" The old man was heartbroken and sighed.

Zhang Chao stared nervously at the old man, fearing that the old man, who was not too young, would suddenly pass out, which would be troublesome.

And the more he looked, the more he felt that the other party looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

But he was worried in vain, the old man still looked very strong, and he spoke with such air that it made his ears ringing:

"Young people just don't know the importance of doing things. How can they just display such good things casually? What if they are ruined by others!"

Zhang Chao quickly grabbed Xuan Chu, and asked in a low voice, "Boss, is this wooden cabinet expensive?"

Xuan Chu blinked: "This is made by the elders in the family. There is nothing else in the countryside, except that there are many trees."

This is the truth, let alone chicken wing wood, even huanghuali and rosewood can be seen everywhere in Qingqiu, and they are all hundreds of thousands of years old, so no one may pick them up for firewood.

Seeing Xuan Chu's calm attitude, Zhang Chao also dispelled his doubts, thinking that this old man must be too old and his eyes are blurred, and it is not impossible to regard ordinary wood as a treasure.

Zhang Chao also noticed that in addition to fruits, there were also many wooden carvings on the shelves.

Sensing Zhang Chao's curious gaze, Xuan Chu took the initiative to explain: "This is carved by the family, and they like to do this when they have nothing to do."

Qingqiu is isolated from the outside world, and the nine-tailed foxes have nothing serious to do all day long, but they have cultivated a bunch of artistic talents, all of them are artists.

Knowing that Xuanchu was going to redecorate this time, the foxes all gave gifts to each other.Most of them are wood carvings, Xuan Chu had no place to put them, so he simply placed some in the shop for decoration.

"Boss, your family is amazing." Zhang Chao sighed sincerely.

Although he has no artistic talent, at least he can distinguish between good and bad.These wood carvings are exquisite and lifelike, showing the skill of the carvers.

"Good carver!" The old man came up again just now, staring closely at the palm-sized wooden boat pointed by Zhang Chao, and asked Xuanchu emotionally, "Young man, can you show me this wooden boat? "

Xuan Chu smiled: "Is there anything wrong?"

The old man carefully picked up the wooden boat, put his face so close that his eyes almost stuck to it, and praised, "Good, that's great."

"Young man, which master carved it at this time?" The old man believed that this object must have been made by a famous artist.

Xuan Chu couldn't say that it was carved by a fox cub in Qingqiu, so he only vaguely said: "It's not some master, but my family carved it for fun."

Unexpectedly, the old man was even more awed when he heard it, and he couldn't help saying: "The master is among the people, really the master is among the people!"

"Young man, can you introduce this master for me?" the old man asked expectantly.

Seeing Xuan Chu showing hesitation, he quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. I work in the Academy of Fine Arts of Tianhai University, and I just want to invite this master to come to our school to guide students."

Hearing the words "Academy of Fine Arts", Zhang Chao finally remembered why he thought the old man looked familiar——

Not long ago, he visited the exhibition of the students of the Academy of Fine Arts, and saw this old man surrounded by a group of people who called him "Dean Yu".

"Boss, he is the dean of our school's Academy of Fine Arts. He has won many national awards and is a lifelong honorary professor!" Zhang Chao excitedly introduced to Xuanchu.

Xuan Chu was still as calm as ever, and said, "I'm sorry, my family is not here."

"We can reimburse all expenses!" Dean Yu hurriedly said, "Don't worry about the appearance fee..."

It was obvious that he really admired the woodcarving.

Xuan Chu was unmoved: "Sorry, I'm afraid it's inconvenient."

In ancient times, when the dragon and the phoenix first robbed, the nine-tailed fox family was involved in a fight, and the whole family was almost wiped out.Fortunately, his ancestors led the remaining clansmen to hide in Qingqiu in time, so they saved their lives.

After that, the Nine-Tailed Fox never came out of Qingqiu again.

Xuanchu once didn't understand this system, but after leaving Qingqiu, he gradually understood the intention behind this regulation.

If it weren't for this, the Nine-Tails clan might have been wiped out in the calamities of heaven and earth again and again, just like many races that have disappeared since ancient times.

"Okay..." Dean Yu was obviously disappointed, but he pulled himself together and asked again, "Can this wooden boat be sold? I can offer a high price."

"Okay." This time Xuan Chu agreed very readily.

It's just a gadget, and there are so many of them, I'm afraid even the creator didn't expect this thing to be sold for money.

But it gave him new ideas.

Dean Yu happily left with the wooden boat in his hands, and Xuan Chu also happily asked Zhang Chao to put a price tag on the wooden carvings.

Why didn't he think of it before?These gadgets can also be sold for money!

Zhang Chao said stupidly: "But boss, aren't we a fruit shop?"

"Who said it has nothing to do with fruit?" Xuan Chu pointed at the wood carvings on the shelf with a smile, and introduced them one by one, "Here, this is made of longan wood, this is peach wood... aren't these all fruit trees?"

Zhang Chao scratched the back of his head: It seems that it probably... makes sense?

***

Miracle Fruit Store reopened, and once again customers came like a cloud.

The refurbished and upgraded fruit shop not only received unanimous praise from old customers, but also attracted a group of new customers.

This is thanks to Dean Yu.

Under the propaganda of the dean, many students and even teachers from the Academy of Fine Arts came to the fruit shop to observe the "masterpiece".

Without spending a penny on advertising, many people soon knew that the famous Wonderful Fruit Shop not only sold fruits, but also sold handicrafts.

The wood carvings are exquisite in shape, and the price is not particularly expensive. Coupled with the praise of the dean of the Academy of Fine Arts, Yu, wood carvings soon became a major source of income for the fruit shop.

Before the woodcarving handicrafts became popular, a strange guest came to the fruit shop.

The moment the other party stepped into the store door, Xuan Chu seemed to sense something, and a hint of alertness flashed in his eyes.

He secretly watched the girl.

The girl seemed to be in a bad mood, she was in a daze, her eyes were out of focus, she had been shopping in the fruit shop for about ten minutes, but she didn't see or buy anything, she didn't look normal.

That's all, what alerted Xuan Chu was the vague yin qi lingering around her.

That's not the aura that ordinary humans should have!

He narrowed his eyes slightly, walked up to the girl, and said slowly, "Guest, guest?"

Qi Xue suddenly recovered from the trance, almost jumped up, and when she saw the surrounding scene clearly, she was stunned again: "Where is this?"

Xuan Chu said calmly: "This is the Miracle Fruit Store, what do you need?"

Qi Xue knew this fruit shop was very popular on campus recently, but she couldn't remember why she appeared here.

She blushed and stammered, "Uh, I... I'll take a look."

Xuan Chu smiled: "Need I introduce you?"

Qi Xue was worrying about how to relieve the embarrassment, and nodded hurriedly after hearing the words: "Okay."

It just so happened that they were in the wood carving area, Xuan Chu seemingly casually picked up a small peach wood pendant, and said:

"This kind of wood carving pendant is selling well. It is very suitable for hanging on the keychain of the mobile phone bag. It seems to be very suitable for you. Would you like to try it?"

Qi Xue carefully looked at the pendant carved into a gourd. It was only the size of a thumb, and the whole body was dark brown. .

She usually likes to buy some accessories and other small things, so she couldn't help being moved, and subconsciously took the mahogany gourd from Xuan Chu's hand.

The moment her fingertips touched the pendant, there seemed to be a tragic cry in her ear, and when she listened attentively, the sound disappeared without a trace.

Probably an illusion, she thought.

Xuan Chu watched without changing his expression as a wisp of black air screamed and escaped from Qi Xue's body, but was soon hit by an invisible light shot from the gourd, and was instantly torn to pieces.

Sure enough, as he expected, the girl was entangled in something unclean, which is why she was in a trance.

This gourd is carved from peach wood, which can ward off evil spirits, not to mention that this wood comes from the fairy peach garden of the Queen of Heaven.

But Qi Xue couldn't see the black air, only felt that the gourd was warm and smooth to the touch, which made her happy and couldn't put it down.

Maybe this is the so-called "eye edge"?

She made a decision almost without thinking: "I want this gourd pendant."

Xuan Chu smiled all over his face: "Okay."

After paying the bill, Qi Xue couldn't wait to take off the crystal pendant on her phone and replace it with a mahogany gourd, and left satisfied.

"Welcome to patronize me next time." Xuan Chu sent her out.

It wasn't until Qi Xue's figure disappeared at the end of the street that the smile on his face disappeared little by little.
