My fruit shop became popular in the world

"Old Zhang, what are you holding in your arms, it looks like a baby." A hand patted Zhang Chao's shoulder heavily.

"Be careful!" Zhang Chao jumped up on the spot, and his first reaction was to check the shopping bag he was carefully protecting in his arms.

Fortunately, the strawberries are safe and sound, still so delicious and lovely.

Fang Chengxing was frightened by his overreaction, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He carefully glanced over his head and smiled: "Hey, what kind of treasure am I? You bought strawberries too?"

The word "also" is very interesting.

Zhang Chao was stunned for a moment, and looked down, only to find that his roommate was carrying two boxes of things, and the shells were printed with patterns of strawberries.

Noticing his gaze, Fang Chengxing held up the strawberry and said with a smile: "Here, the strawberries of 'Guofu' have just been picked from the plantation, and they are very fresh."

"..." Zhang Chao looked at the strawberries in the simple food bag in his hand, then at the beautifully packaged gift box in his roommate's hand, and fell silent.

"Guofu" is a well-known fruit brand in China. It is mainly aimed at the middle and high-end market. The price is several times that of ordinary fruits. It can only be bought in some member supermarkets and fruit stores under the brand.

"If I knew it, I would have told you in advance." Fang Chengxing didn't notice Zhang Chao's embarrassment, hooked his shoulders, and said carelessly, "Come here, try my strawberry, I heard it is a newly cultivated variety, Very sweet, like eating honey water."

Zhang Chao knew that his roommate had good intentions, but his mood was still a little delicate.

For him, spending 100 yuan to buy a catty of strawberries is considered a "huge sum of money".But for Fang Chengxing, a rich second-generation roommate, drinking Fiji water and eating "Guofu" fruit is nothing more than a natural thing.

Zhang Chao's family background is not bad, but he has to admit that before he stepped into the society, he already felt the unevenness of the world in advance from his roommates.

"Hey, your strawberries don't look bad." Fang Chengxing rubbed his chin, "It's bigger than my strawberries."

Zhang Chao's heart moved: "Mr. Fang, do you want to try it? Maybe the taste is not worse than the new variety."

Because Fang Chengxing's family runs a company, his classmates joked and called him "Mr. Fang".

"No way? I heard from 'Guofu' Uncle Wang that they tested and found that the average sugar content of this strawberry is 13%, which is much higher than ordinary strawberries. That's why it's so delicious——"

With quick eyes and quick hands, Zhang Chao picked up the strawberry and stuffed it into Fang Chengxing's mouth.

Fang Chengxing was caught off guard: "?"

After a while, he exclaimed: "My God, it's so delicious!"

He couldn't resist picking up another one.

Strawberry entrance, full of fragrance.The sweet juice flows over the tip of the tongue, as if traveling along the meridians to the limbs, leaving a slight tremor wherever it goes.

"Old Zhang, where did you buy these strawberries? They are sweeter than Guofu strawberries!" He said in shock.

"Cough, isn't it delicious?" Zhang Chao tried his best to restrain the corners of his mouth, "If you like it, I can take you there."

"Let's go, let's go," Fang Chengxing said hastily, "I'm going to buy it for Xiaoying."

A few months ago, he was writing his graduation thesis in the library and met a girl named Xiaoying.He fell in love with Xiaoying at first sight, even now that the thesis has been finalized, he still spends his time in the library every day.

According to his observation, Xiaoying seems to have a special liking for strawberries, and the pencil case and mobile phone case she uses are all strawberry patterns.Only then did he think of bringing strawberries to school, giving one box to his roommates and one box to Xiao Ying.

Originally, he thought that the strawberries of "Guofu" were delicious enough, but after eating the strawberries brought by Zhang Chao, he finally knew what the best strawberries were.

So he changed his mind in an instant, and instead of giving away "Guofu", he gave away the kind of strawberries bought by Zhang Chao.

However, the weather was not good, and when the two were about to go out, it started to rain heavily, so they had to temporarily cancel the plan and agreed to go again the next day.

Early the next morning, Zhang Chao felt a dull pain in his abdomen while he was half asleep and half awake.

That is……

He woke up suddenly, turned over and got out of bed, and went straight to the bathroom, only to find that the pit was occupied: "Damn it!"

He knocked on the door in a hurry: "Which brother is inside? Hurry up, I can't hold it anymore!"

"I'll be right away." After the sound of flushing water, Fang Chengxing came out with a rippling face, touched his belly and said, "It's so refreshing!"

"..." The desire to defecate became stronger and Zhang Chao didn't have time to complain about him, so he went into the bathroom.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Chao walked out of the bathroom, pia on the bed, and groaned: "Ah, it's been a long time since I feel so comfortable, I feel my body is light~~"

The two looked at each other, everything was silent.

Fang Chengxing felt that the matter was not simple: "Could it be because of eating strawberries? Strawberries contain a lot of dietary fiber, cough, you understand."

Zhang Chao was stunned, and pulled his hair: "No way, it's just fruit."

He doesn't even take medicine to have this effect.

Fang Chengxing: "I heard from 'Guofu' Uncle Wang that the nutritional value of good fruit is not low."

Zhang Chao was stunned when he heard this: "Is this so?"

***

After a night of spring rain, the air is mixed with the freshness of grass and soil.

The two talked and laughed and walked towards the direction of Student Street.

The fruit shop is just around the corner, and the wooden signboard on the door can be seen from a distance.

Fang Chengxing paused, and couldn't help but praise: "Good words."

Under the arrangement of his family, he once worshiped a famous calligrapher as his teacher, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he also studied this way.

"You think it's good too, don't you? It seems that the boss wrote it himself." After all, this store was recommended by him. Hearing his roommate's praise, Zhang Chao suddenly felt a sense of pride, "Their strawberries——huh?"

Seeing the scene inside the store clearly, Zhang Chao was stunned: "Where are the grass and strawberries?"

The original strawberries in the fruit basket were gone, and replaced by golden-yellow, slightly green, plump, plump pineapples covered with fruit eyes.

"Welcome, do you want to buy pineapples?" Xuan Chu warmly came out to greet him when he heard the news.

Zhang Chao regained his composure and hurriedly asked, "Boss, why don't you sell strawberries?"

"It's sold out." Xuan Chu's tone was taken for granted.

"So fast?" Zhang Chao was shocked.He also thought that since the price of this store was so high, there must not be much business.

Xuan Chu shrugged: "There are not many goods in the first place, so naturally they sell quickly."

Zhang Chao recalled carefully, he did not see many strawberries yesterday.

but.

"Aren't they all in stock?" Zhang Chao was incredulous.

He doesn't know much about the operating model of fruit shops, but generally this kind of shops have a stable source of purchases, right?

A strange color flashed across Xuan Chu's eyes, and he quickly returned to normal: "No, only pineapples are sold today."

Fang Chengxing frowned. It was the first time he saw that a fruit shop only sold one kind of fruit a day, and it was sold in limited quantities. Could this be a marketing method of the store?

No matter what the reason is, his top priority is to buy yesterday's strawberries, so he said: "Boss, I want to buy strawberries, money is not a problem."

Xuanchu spread his hands: "But there are really no strawberries, why don't you try pineapples? My pineapples are also delicious."

In fact, Zhang Chao believed it. Before entering the store, he smelled a strong sweet fragrance, which is the unique fragrance of ripe pineapple.He didn't have much feeling for pineapple, but stimulated by the taste, his mouth couldn't help salivating.

Fang Chengxing was unmoved at all.

He has shades of pineapple.When he was a child, he was greedy and ate a slice of pineapple that had just been cut and hadn’t been soaked in salt water. As a result, his mouth became numb and his tongue swelled up for a day.

He later found out that this seemingly attractive fruit contains bromelain and glycosides. If eaten directly without treatment, it is easy to irritate the oral mucosa, cause tongue tingling and other symptoms, and even cause dizziness and shock in severe cases. .

In fact, as long as it is handled properly, such as soaking in salt water or hot water to reduce the activity of bromelain, the irritation can be reduced.What's more, there are still varieties of pineapples on the market that don't make your mouth feel numb.

But for Fang Chengxing, the shadow of his childhood was too great, so that until today, he is still insensitive to all dishes such as pineapple and even pineapple sweet and sour meat.

"Forget it." Disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he turned to leave.

"Mr. Fang, wait." Zhang Chao hesitated.

The smell was so fragrant that he couldn't move his legs.

Or, just buy a piece and try it?Anyway, one piece is only ten yuan, and he has bought strawberries for five yuan a piece, at least pineapples are bigger in size.

Zhang Chao stared at the price tag, feeling a battle between heaven and man.

He thought, the strawberries in this store are so delicious, the pineapple should not be much worse, right?

After struggling for a long time, he finally made up his mind: "Boss, here is a piece of pineapple."

"Okay." Xuanchu picked a pineapple on the spot, and skillfully peeled off its outer skin with a curved knife, gouged out the pineapple eye, and cut off a thin slice.

"I said, boss, you are too stingy!" Zhang Chao couldn't help crying after witnessing the whole process, "This is only a small piece. I will eat it in one bite and it will be gone."

Xuan Chu unhurriedly used a bamboo stick to pass through a pineapple slice no bigger than a palm, handed it to him, and said with a smile, "Thanks for your patronage, ten yuan, thank you."

"..." Zhang Chao stared at the golden pineapple exuding an attractive fruity aroma, struggled for a long time, and finally resignedly took out his mobile phone to scan the code.

He took the pineapple slice and took a bite carefully. The sweet and sour juice burst out on the tip of his tongue, and his taste buds were instantly awakened.

The pineapple tastes crisp and has a very strong fragrance. After eating, even the breath seems to have the fragrance of pineapple.

Compared with regular pineapples, this pineapple is sweeter, crunchier, has less pomace, and most importantly, is completely non-irritating to the mouth.

At first, Zhang Chao ate very reservedly, thinking that he should taste it well and not waste the ten yuan.

After taking a bite, he put all distracting thoughts behind him.

This is gone...

He looked at the bamboo stick in his hand, full of regret.

"Old Zhang, are you okay?" Seeing tears in his eyes, Fang Chengxing thought there was something wrong with being stimulated, and couldn't help but panic, holding his mobile phone to call the emergency number.

Zhang Chao woke up suddenly, pressed Fang Chengxing's shoulders and shook vigorously, and said excitedly: "Mr. Fang, I advise you to try this pineapple, it's so delicious!"

"..." Fang Chengxing frowned slightly, "I'd better forget it."

"You will regret it if you don't eat it!" Zhang Chao tried to sell Amway, "When did you say I lied to you?"

Fang Chengxing hesitated for a while, and said hesitantly, "Then...try?"

"Boss, another piece of pineapple." Zhang Chao said cheerfully.

Fang Chengxing saw Xuanchu directly cut the pineapple slices from a fresh pineapple, with a frightened expression on his face, he asked, "No, don't you need to soak it in salt water?"

"No need." Xuan Chu said to himself, "My pineapple never numbs the mouth."

Fang Chengxing was dubious, and slowly approached the pineapple, touched it carefully with the tip of his tongue, and quickly retracted it.

After a second.

Well, the taste seems to be really good, and there is no abnormality on the tongue?

He brought the pineapple to his mouth again, lightly bit off one tip, and held it in his mouth, feeling a burst of sweet but not sour, slightly sour but not astringent juice in his mouth.

His eyes widened suddenly, sweat broke out on his forehead, and his breathing became short of breath.

"It's delicious, boss, another slice, no, two slices." Fang Chengxing quickly wiped out the remaining pineapple, pointed to Zhang Chao, "give him one slice too."

"One more slice."

"Well, boss, I still want to..."

In the end, the two boys shared a 4-jin pineapple on the spot.

"There is the last piece left, who wants it?" Xuan Chu raised the last piece of pineapple and asked with a smile.

The two looked at each other.

The air instantly solidified.

"Mr. Fang, didn't you say that eating pineapple would make you uncomfortable? Let me help you out." Zhang Chao preemptively stretched out his evil claws towards the pineapple.

"No, no, no, I don't feel bad at all. But you, your lips seem a little swollen, right? Why don't you stop eating and rest first?" Fang Chengxing came from behind and snatched the pineapple first.

Zhang Chao was in a hurry: "Mr. Fang, are we still brothers?"

Fang Chengxing was unmoved at all: "When I finish eating this piece of pineapple, let's be good brothers."

Xuan Chu held a handful of sunflower seeds that he didn't know where he came from, and ate them slowly, while watching the play, he commented: "Don't argue, won't the problem be solved by buying a few more?"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

"That's right!" Fang Chengxing swung his fist heavily into the air, "Boss, I want five pineapples, please peel them."

As he spoke, he was about to take out his mobile phone to pay.

At this moment, Zhang Chao felt a little embarrassed: "Hey, Mr. Fang, let me pay for it."

Fang Chengxing waved his hand and said carelessly, "No, just treat it as my compensation. Besides, I'm giving away one of them."

Only then did Zhang Chao remember that their original purpose of coming here was to buy strawberries, but they couldn't buy strawberries, but they did eat them.

He asked, "Is it Xiaoying? But does she like pineapple?"

"...What you said makes sense." Fang Chengxing was taken aback.

What if a girl like him not long ago can't accept pineapples?Wouldn't it be counterproductive for him to give it away like this?

"Forget it, how about I still give strawberries." Fang Chengxing didn't dare to step on this thunder, and turned to Xuanchu and asked, "Boss, when will there be strawberries?"

"It's hard for me to say." Xuan Chu was peeling the pineapple with his head down, and suggested, "If you are worried that the other party doesn't like pineapple, maybe you can try pineapple cake first? Many girls like this kind of pastry."

"Boss, do you still sell pineapple cakes?" Zhang Chao was curious, looking around, "Where are you?"

Xuan Chu was confident: "I haven't done it yet."

Zhang Chao: "...?"

"Tomorrow, you can eat it when you come over tomorrow." Xuan Chu raised his head, and there was a little light flowing in his dark eyes, as if falling into the sky full of stars, "Why don't you try?"

His gaze seemed to contain some kind of power that could bewitch people's hearts, making people involuntarily convinced.

"Okay." Fang Chengxing nodded in a daze, and immediately agreed.

When they left the fruit shop, the two were still immersed in the wonderful emotion just now, and they haven't recovered for a long time.

After a long while, Zhang Chao suddenly said something, in a worried tone: "This store has such a personality, what if it closes after less than a month?"

After all, this is the legendary cursed storefront!

"This is impossible!" Fang Chengxing was shocked. He had just fallen in love with the strawberries and pineapples in this store, and he planned to invite his relatives and friends to buy them.

"Old Zhang, how about I ask my dad to buy this store so that he won't go bankrupt, what do you think?" Fang Chengxing said surprisingly.

Zhang Chao: "...?"

The author has something to say:

Zhang Chao: I don't understand the world of local tyrants: (

Speaking of childhood shades, mine is not pineapple but kiwi.When I was young, I didn't know that this thing should be eaten after it is mature, and I always thought it was numb and sour.It was not until many years later that a friend gave me a ripe kiwi fruit that I realized how delicious this fruit is!

Regarding pineapple and pineapple, there seems to be a lot of controversy on the Internet. I personally think that the two are actually the same, but they are called differently.For the convenience of reading, common names are used in the text, such as "pineapple" and "pineapple cake".
