My fruit shop became popular in the world

"Boss, boss, did you know that we have opened another fruit shop on the street." Zhang Chao rushed into the shop early in the morning and shouted loudly, "I see that the signs are all hanging out, and it's actually a fresh fruit shop." fruit!"

There is a shop less than 100 meters away from Wonderful Fruit Store, which has been under renovation before.

But because the store door was blocked by plastic paper, I couldn't tell what kind of store it was. I only knew that there was a lot of movement, and it seemed to be a big project.

Xuan Chu raised his eyebrows: "A fruit shop is a fruit shop, why are you all so nervous?"

you?

Zhang Chao was taken aback for a moment, only to find that Yonago was there, and smiled shyly at him.

Xuan Chu pointed at Yonago Yi: "Xiaomi told me about this just now."

Zhang Chao came back to his senses, and said loudly: "That's Fresh Fruit! It's the hottest online celebrity fruit shop nowadays, and many Internet celebrities and even celebrities have checked in and recommended it!"

Xuan Chu didn't care too much: "Isn't our fruit shop also an internet celebrity?"

Some time ago, it was also a hot search because of brown sugar saving lives.

"How can this be the same?" Zhang Chao smiled wryly, "Our store's influence is limited to the local area, but Xianxiang Fruit is different. They have branches in many first- and second-tier cities, and they also specially invite celebrities to endorse and advertise. Know this store."

Yonago nodded, and whispered, "I've often seen their advertisements on the Internet."

Sun Lang came, heard their discussion, and joined the topic: "Fresh fruit? When I went to Yushi with my girlfriend, I went to check in. There were so many people, and I waited in line for more than an hour before entering the store. But my girlfriend likes it very much, so it’s worth it. By the way, I took a lot of photos at the time, so I’ll look for it.”

In the photo, it is a shop with exquisite decoration and art. If it is not stated in advance that it is a fruit shop, Xuan Chu even thought it was a coffee shop or something.

"Xianxiang Fruit is famous for its good looks. Every branch is very beautifully decorated. Many people in a certain red book have recommended it, saying that the environment is very good and it is very suitable for taking pictures." explained.

"Cut, these are all fake. It's not an art museum. What do you do with such a beautiful decoration? The most important thing is the quality of the products. Whether the fruit is good or not is the key." Zhang Chao made a straight man's comment.

"You can't say that." Xuan Chu said, "First impressions are indeed important. Think about it, if you have a bad first impression of something, are you still interested in learning about it?"

Zhang Chao opened his mouth, unable to refute.

It is said that beautiful skins are the same, and interesting souls are one in a million, but in this era where flowers are becoming more and more charming, if there is no beautiful skin to attract, there is no chance to show interesting souls.

Xuanchu changed the subject, and said again: "Of course, it won't work if you only blindly pursue appearance and ignore the inner nature. Many failed online celebrity shops are a lesson."

"The Xianxiang Fruit you mentioned can open branches all over the country in a short period of time. I think its strength should not be weak." Xuan Chu did not hesitate to praise potential opponents.

Seeing that the three of them looked apprehensive, he smiled: "However, everyone, don't belittle yourself, thinking that your skills must be inferior to others, and our strength is not weak."

"Boss, aren't you worried?" Sun Lang couldn't help asking, "Xianxiang Fruit is also open in Student Street, if we snatch all our guests away—"

"Then it's a fair competition." Xuan Chu smiled, with confidence in his calm tone, "I don't believe that Miracle can't compare to it."

Although Xuan Chu made a strong promise, but before the opening of Xianxiang Fruit, the shop assistants were still in a hurry.

No rush, no——

Three days before the opening, this rich and powerful fruit shop hired people to distribute flyers in Tianhai University and nearby blocks.

Even the elderly who don't surf the Internet very much know that there is a fruit shop in Student Street that will open soon, and there will be a strong promotional activity at that time.

"Xianxiang Fruit really paid for it this time." Sun Lang was also stuffed with a flyer, and couldn't help but click his tongue, "On the first day of opening, all products are half price! If you sign up for membership within one week of opening, you can enjoy how much you can get as much as you want The discount is equivalent to half price!"

Seeing that Xuan Chu was still on the look of not being worried, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, should we also hold a promotion or something?"

"It's not like we opened the business, so what are you promoting?" Xuan Chu coldly refused.

Sun Lang wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Chao.

As a senior employee, he has seen Xuan Chu's "accords", and he is very clear about his boss's character——

It is impossible to promote sales. It is already a great thing to get a [-]% discount, and ordinary people can't enjoy it.

Even though I had made psychological preparations, the situation was worse than expected on the opening day.

When the alarm rang early in the morning, Zhang Chao turned off the alarm in a daze, only to find that his roommate Fang Chengxing had woken up and was applying hairspray in front of the mirror.

He was shocked: "Boss Fang, did you take the wrong medicine? Don't you usually sleep until noon?"

"Mr. Fang has an appointment, so of course I have to get up early to clean up." The other roommate also woke up, teasing with a smile.

"Wow——" Zhang Chao has been busy with part-time work these days, and he doesn't have much time in the dormitory, and he has less communication with his roommates. He said with a smirk, "It seems that you and Xiaoying are developing well."

"I'm trying to draw the horoscope." Fang Chengxing was a little shy.

Zhang Chao patted his brother on the shoulder and cheered him up: "Come on, I hope to hear good news from you before graduation!"

"By the way, where are you going to date?" He asked casually, "Park? Amusement park? Art gallery?"

"Uh, not at all." Fang Chengxing knew that Zhang Chao was working at Wonderful Fruit Store, scratched his feet in embarrassment, and took a long time to spit out a few words, "...It's fresh fruits."

Yesterday, Xiaoying offered to go shopping at Xianxiang Fruit, a great opportunity was in front of him, and he really didn't want to miss it.

Zhang Chao was stunned for a moment, not wanting to embarrass his roommate, and smiled: "I wish you a good time."

As soon as he arrived at Student Street, Zhang Chao heard the voices of people in front of him, and there were many people queuing up.

Take a closer look, isn't that the place where Xianxiang Fruit Shop is located?

The advertising paper of "Store decoration, please look forward to it" that was originally hung outside the store has been lifted, and through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, the scene in the store can be seen at a glance.

The whole store is orange-yellow, and the bright and bright colors make people's eyes shine.

A huge fruit basket is placed in the merchandise window, which is full of exquisite fruit props, which is particularly attractive under the decoration of warm lights.

The entire store occupies a large area, twice the size of Wonderful Fruit Store by visual inspection, but even so, the store is still full of people, more than Wonderful Fruit Store at its peak.

The merchant must have hired people to line up!Zhang Chao thought sourly.

A few tens of meters further ahead is the Miracle Fruit Shop.

Compared with the fresh fruits that come like a cloud, today's Miracle Fruit Store is very deserted, not to mention queuing, and there are not many customers in the store.

Today, Miracle Fruit Store has brought in a batch of mangosteens, which are flat and round, not too big, with a hard black-purple shell and four small fruit stems on top, which looks inconspicuous.

After two hours, less than ten catties of mangosteens were sold, which is incomparable to the usual results.

Zhang Chao and Sun Lang were worried, and even Yonago came out from time to time to probe their brains. Seeing their appearance, Xuan Chu simply invited everyone to eat mangosteen together.

"The weather is hot, mangosteen is a cool fruit, eat it to reduce the fire."

Xuanchu held the mangosteen with one hand, and gently pressed the fruit base with the other hand, and when the mangosteen shell cracked slightly, he was about to peel it off.

He was careful not to let the purple-red juice on the mangosteen shell stain the white flesh or clothes inside, because it would not only affect the taste, but also be difficult to clean.

The peeled mangosteen petals are tightly clustered together, white and fat, and the taste is sweet and sour, smooth and soft. When you squeeze it gently with your teeth, the rich and clear juice bursts on the tip of the tongue, bursting out an intoxicating aroma.

Perhaps the mangosteen really played the role of reducing fire and dryness. After eating mangosteen, the emotions of several people really calmed down a lot.

It's just that it's not an option to go on like this. You can't always rely on eating to relieve anxiety, right?

There are no customers in the store now. Zhang Chao was bored in Moments, and found that many people were showing photos of Xianxiang Fruit Store. Well, I don't see anything unusual."

He also swiped to the circle of friends posted by Fang Chengxing, Jiugongge, without text, and only posted three [happy] emojis in a row.

Fang Chengxing's photography skills are good, the composition is beautiful, there are fruits and the environment of the store, and there is a back view of a girl with long hair.

Zhang Chao saw comments from mutual friends under this circle of friends, some asked who the girl was, and some asked where it was, how lively it was.

He watched silently and sighed heavily.

At this moment, he has a deep understanding of Lu Xun's sentence "The joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected, I just think they are noisy".

In the afternoon, the business of the fruit shop is still deserted.

As for Xianxiang Fruit, there were more people queuing up than in the morning, and even reporters from local newspapers came.

Zhang Chao couldn't help it, and said, "Boss, should we think of something?"

If it goes on like this, it will have too much impact on the business of the store, and problems will arise.

Xuan Chu pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Why don't you go over there with me to have a look."

Before today, he had always had confidence in his own fruit.But he has to admit that the current situation is indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.

He also wanted to know what kind of magical power this fresh fruit had that made so many people flock to it.

Could it be that this store was also opened by a monster who came to the human world to experience life, and the fruits they sell are better than those from Qingqiu?

The two put on hats to camouflage a little, so as not to be recognized as opponents who came to inquire about the news.

But even so, Xuan Chu's appearance was still very eye-catching, so he had to secretly cast a blindfold so that everyone would automatically ignore his existence.

While queuing up, Xuanchu noticed that there were a lot of young people. They were lying on the window and looking into the store, discussing where to take pictures and what poses to take.

After listening to a whole list of photo-taking poses with "headache, eyes, neck, back, stomach, pain", Xuanchu and the others were finally ranked.

"Welcome!" the uniformed employees chorused as they entered.

Xuanchu looked around, and found that the fruit in this store was very distinctively placed——

In general fruit shops, in order to save space, fruits are mostly piled up.

In this store, each fruit is placed separately regardless of its size. In order to prevent bumps, it is specially padded with plastic and foam, leaving the impression that "this fruit must be very expensive".

And it is.

He glanced at the fruit price list and couldn't help being surprised.

This price is even more expensive than the fruits in his shop!

Zhang Chao also saw the price tag and uttered "Fuck".

"Boss, Boss," he leaned close to Xuan Chu's ear and whispered, "I saw mangosteens are also sold there, and the price is even higher than our shop!"

Xuan Chu raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to follow: "Go and have a look."

These mangosteens are also carefully protected with plastic paper, looking very precious.

The price tag next to it shows that this is a mangosteen from Malaysia. If it is really shipped in by air, the price is not that exaggerated after including the transportation fee and preservation fee.

Xuanchu thought for a while, and picked out five mangosteens to pay the bill.

Zhang Chao was puzzled: "Boss, don't we have mangosteens in our store? Why do you want to buy others?"

Xuan Chu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles."

Back in the store, he distributed a mangosteen to each employee, including the brown sugar.

Everyone couldn't wait to peel it off, wanting to taste what such an expensive mangosteen would taste like.

however……

"Why doesn't it feel delicious?" Sun Lang frowned slightly, expressing the feelings of everyone present.

Zhang Chaokuang nodded: "I also think the taste is average."

Brown sugar reacted the most, Xuanchu had just fed him a piece of mangosteen, the little guy's facial features wrinkled into a ball, he vomited it all up with two "peh peh".

Yonago is very sensitive to fruits, she thought about it seriously, and said: "Actually, it's not bad, but how should I put it, compared with the mangosteen in our store, it seems to be worse."

There is a wonderful brand of mangosteen pearls in front of me, and I always feel that something is wrong when I come to eat this so-called mangosteen from Malaysia.

Xuan Chu said in a deep voice: "Fresh, what's worse is fresh."

He compared his own mangosteens with those from Xianxiang Fruit Shop, and talked about the Fruit Sutra: "Mangosteens are not easy to store, and if they are not picked in time, they will quickly deteriorate. Fresh mangosteens have green pedicles. The shell is soft and elastic when pinched."

There is no harm if there is no comparison. Although the mangosteen bought from Xianxiang Fruit Store has no wounds on the surface, the fruit stem is not so green, and the hand feeling is not as good as the mangosteen from Wonderful Fruit Store.

"Of course, the mangosteens in Xianxiang Fruit Shop cannot be said to be not fresh, but because of the long-term transportation and storage in the freezer, the freshness is definitely not as good as the freshly picked mangosteens." Xuan Chu objectively commented, "This kind of The quality of the mangosteen is indeed good, but in this way, the taste will definitely be affected."

Fruits, like seafood, have high requirements for freshness.Although today's logistics and storage technology is developing rapidly, there are still many limitations.

It is obviously the same thing, but after leaving the place of origin, the taste may be greatly reduced.

Produced overseas, it sounds amazing, but for fruits, it does not necessarily mean high quality.

Wonderful Fruit Store doesn’t have such troubles. Xuanchu can freely travel between Qingqiu and the human world to deliver fruits. Usually, the fruits sold in the store are picked within 24 hours, and the freshness is absolutely impeccable.

"Shh, here's a guest." Sun Lang reminded quickly with sharp eyes.

Everyone cheered up and got ready to welcome guests.

A young couple walked to the door of the store one after another. It seemed that they had quarreled and their emotions were not quite right.

The boy looked at his girlfriend's face, and coaxed carefully: "Don't be upset, don't you want to eat fruit, isn't it the same if we change the store? This store has a good reputation, don't wait in line, it's no better than that. Strong fruit?"

The girl squinted at him: "The point is not to line up? Tell the truth, do you not want to line up with me?"

The boy was exposed, touched his nose, and whispered: "There are so many people over there, they have to wait until the year of the monkey?"

The girl sneered: "I don't care, I'm going to enjoy fresh fruits, if you don't want to line up, then don't go, I don't necessarily want you to accompany me!"

After saying that, she turned around and left angrily.

"...Sorry, I made you laugh." The boy smiled awkwardly at Xuan Chu and the others.

Sun Lang, who was the only person present who had experience in love, understood: "Is there anyone who doesn't quarrel when you're in a relationship? But brother, you have a good eye. The fruits in our store are no worse than Xianxiang Fruit."

The boy sighed softly: "But who told my girlfriend to look for Xianxiang Fruit? I really don't understand her, isn't it just a fruit shop, it's worth queuing for so long just to post a picture on Moments? "

All the straight men present nodded.

That being said, the boys still go after their girlfriends.

Naturally, the deal didn't work out.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the fruit shop was still deserted, which was quite different from the usual scene.

Except for Brown Tang who is still playing with a ball of wool in a daze, and Xuan Chu who still has that smiling face, the faces of the others are not very good-looking.

After a while, Zhang Chao couldn't help running out to spy on the enemy, but every time the information he brought back was frustrating——

"There are still a lot of people queuing at the entrance of Xianxiang Fruit."

"I heard that many products in the store have been sold out, and there are scalpers hawking outside."

"The latest information, it seems that an anchor has also visited the store!"

Yonago couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he simply went back to his small office, took out the tablet, and started drawing manga.

She has been preparing for this story from the first day of her employment, and the inspiration comes from Wonderful Fruit Shop.

At the beginning of this manga titled "Fruit Kingdom", the ordinary human girl Xiaomai accidentally stepped on a banana peel and fell down, traveled to the fruit kingdom, and embarked on a long journey back home.

In the process, she encountered many fruits.Each fruit has a soul, different personalities, can think, can speak, no different from human beings.

For example, Big Brother Durian has a rough and informal appearance, but he is actually a warm man with a soft heart.

Another example is Miss Juicy Peach, who looks pure and pleasant, and has a gentle personality like water, so sweet that it makes people panic.

There is also Sister Cherry, petite and exquisite, who loves to wear red dresses, and many fruits have a crush on her.

……

Yonago Yixin applied for a Weibo account dedicated to serializing "Fruit Kingdom".After a period of accumulation, this account has four-digit fans.

The theme she plans to paint today is: Miss Mangosteen's Melancholy.

On the way to find the way home, Mai met the melancholy Miss Mangosteen.

She asked Miss Mangosteen why she was sad, and Miss Mangosteen said that because her skin color was dark and ugly, other fruits didn't like to play with her.

She cried so sadly that Mai Mai couldn't bear it, so she decided to stay with Miss Mangzhu.

With her friends, Ms. Mangosteen is in a better mood, and she generously shares her fruits with Mai.

Eating the delicious and juicy mangosteen pulp, Mai Mai was deeply puzzled: Why do most people only care about the beauty and ugliness of the outside, but are unwilling to deeply understand the inside?

With the help of Mai Mai, the fruits gradually got to know and recognize Ms. Mangosteen, approached her actively, and played with her.

At the end of the comic, Mai Mai and Ms. Mangzhu waved goodbye and embarked on the journey of finding their hometown again.

Just a few minutes after this post was posted, someone commented: "It's great, seeing that Miss Mangzhu is finally recognized by everyone, I burst into tears. I hope that the 'Miss Mangosteen' in real life can be so lucky and meet 'Wheat' ', find your own happiness."

Yonago took a deep breath and replied, "I will definitely!"

The author has something to say:

Well, I hope all "Miss Mangosteen" can meet their own wheat.
