In the evening, there were still more than half of the mangosteens left in the fruit shop that could not be sold.

Mangosteen is not easy to store, and the longer it is dragged, the harder it is to sell.

When Qi Xue arrived, she saw the shop assistants sighing at the mangosteen with bitter faces.

"Wow, there are mangosteens today? That's great, I really like mangosteens!" Qi Xue was surprised.

"Okay, how much do you want as a guest?" Sun Lang had never seen Qi Xue before, and he immediately greeted Qi Xue as an ordinary guest.

Qi Xue rolled her eyes and asked, "Can I buy more? I have a lot of family members, so I want to bring them home for everyone to try."

"This..." Sun Lang was taken aback, and couldn't help but look at Xuan Chu.

There has long been a rule in the store that each customer is limited to purchase three kilograms.

However, the mangosteens are currently in sufficient stock, and they are worried that they will not be able to sell them. If someone can buy more at one go, that is what they wish for.

"I'm sorry, classmate Qi," Xuan Chu said with a smile, "You know, our store has a rule that each person can buy no more than three kilograms at a time."

During this period of time, advertisements for fresh fruits were overwhelming, and Qi Xue naturally noticed it.

Unlike the roommates who were excitedly discussing going to the online celebrity shop to check in together, she immediately thought of Wonderful Fruit Store because she was worried that Wonderful's business would be affected.

So today she rushed to the fruit shop immediately after class, and as expected, the business in the shop was bleak.

She wanted to increase sales for Wonderful Fruit Store. If she could, it wouldn't be a problem to pack all the fruits in the store, but she was rejected if she didn't want to.

Xuan Chu seemed to guess what she was thinking, and said again: "Student Qi, I appreciate your kindness. However, even if it can solve the urgent situation, it is still not a long-term solution. If you want to open up sales, you have to find another way. "

Qi Xue admired Xuan Chu's heart, thought for a while, and said: "I have an idea, maybe it will work."

***

When the afterglow of the setting sun fades from the sky, the excitement of Student Street has just begun.

Someone held a brush in his hand, dipped it in ink, and swayed it on the cardboard made of express boxes, all in one go.

The pen and ink are like a startled dragon entering the sea, thick and light, dry and wet, completely natural.

Onlookers Zhang Chao and others couldn't help clapping their hands and applauding: "Good word!"

Before the ink was dry, the piece of cardboard was hung in the most conspicuous place at the entrance of the store, and the light was directly on it to ensure that passers-by could see the four words:

Free trial.

This is Qi Xue's suggestion.She said that most people are now attracted to Xianxiang Fruit Store, and if they want to keep customers, they can no longer sell in the old way.

In fact, this is not a novel approach.Before that, Miracle Fruit Store also held a juice tasting event, which has opened up sales since then.

But since the fruit shop has frequently become popular on the Internet, it is no longer necessary to use such auxiliary means to earn money, and everyone did not expect this method for a while.

Wonderful Fruit Store can’t do the overwhelming marketing of Xianxiang Fruit, but it is not without chance of winning, because they still have a magic weapon-taste.

Xuanchu didn't buy those 5 mangosteens for nothing, which made them sure that their own fruits were better, and they had more confidence in shouting.

"Free tasting?" An old man who came out for a walk stopped and asked suspiciously, "It's really free? Will you let me buy it after eating?"

"Master, don't worry, we will never force consumption." Xuan Chu smiled sincerely and cutely, which was hard to refuse.

Seeing that he was about the same age as his grandson, the old man couldn't help but soften his heart. He took a toothpick with a piece of snow-white and fresh mangosteen pulp inserted in it, and put it in his mouth.

The old man is old and has a strong taste. He usually can't taste the light food.

This time was different, he deeply felt the sweet and sour juice from the soft and delicate mangosteen between his lips and teeth, he opened his eyes wide and gave a thumbs up: "Delicious!"

It's a pity that the mangosteen only has a small petal, and the sweet taste is gone.

The old man smashed his mouth and asked: "Young man, can you give me some more?"

"Okay." Xuan Chu handed over a piece of "trial pack" with a smile.

The old man asked for it three times in a row, and every time Xuanchu treated him with sincerity, he was a little embarrassed, and finally bought a catty of mangosteen to take away.

Before leaving, he said to Xuan Chu: "Young man, the things in your store are not cheap, but the taste is worth the price."

Xuan Chu smiled: "Looking forward to your next visit."

Xuanchu's sales here went smoothly, and the others were not bad either.

According to rough statistics, at least one-third of those who are willing to try mangosteen are attracted to the fruit shop and buy half a catty, and the business in the store gradually returns to normal.

However, the good times didn't last long, and Xianxiang Fruit Shop even launched a free tasting event. The clerks took the processed fruit plates to the street to distribute, and also gave out small gifts to the people who were queuing.

As a result, the crowd who were still wandering around the Miracle Fruit Shop immediately ran to North Korea to enjoy the fruit, for fear that they would not be able to get the gifts if they were a step too late.

The entrance of the Wonderful Fruit Store became deserted again.

"They must be targeting us on purpose!" Zhang Chao was so angry that his eyes were burning, but there was nothing he could do.

He just saw a person in the uniform of Xianxiang fruit store sneaking over, and soon after, their store did this operation. If there is nothing tricky about it, he doesn't believe it.

But I can't think of a better way to deal with this matter for a while. I can't stop others from doing publicity, right?

"Boss, what should we do now?" The employees asked Xuan Chu for help.

Xuan Chu narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's getting late, anyway, the mangosteens are almost sold out, so let's share the rest."

"Don't forget it?" Sun Lang frowned, "What if they come to make trouble again tomorrow?"

Several other people were also disappointed.

Xuan Chu remained calm: "Don't worry, everyone, I will find a way to solve it."

Everyone wanted to say something, but Xuan Chu persuaded them to go back: "Everyone has worked hard all day, so go back and rest early. By the way, Xiaomi, you stay here, I have something to tell you."

Yonago followed Xuan Chu anxiously: "Boss, what can you do with me?"

Xuan Chu asked: "Did you post the fruit that will be put on the shelves tomorrow?"

Wonderful Fruit Store will post the next day's fruit forecast on the Internet every day, which is convenient for customers to buy.

"I've edited it, but haven't sent it yet." Yonago became nervous, thinking that Xuan Chu disliked her work efficiency, "I'll post it right away!"

Xuan Chu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I came to you just to ask you to stop posting for now."

Yonago widened his eyes and looked flustered: "Why? Boss, are we not going to do business tomorrow?"

"Don't worry, it's not what you think." Xuan Chu explained dumbfoundingly, "I suddenly have a new idea, to put another fruit on the shelves tomorrow."

"What fruit?"

The corner of Xuanchu's mouth curled up: "A strange fruit."

***

Zhang Chao lazily carried a bag of mangosteen back to the dormitory.

This is the leftover fruit sold in the store, and Xuan Chu let them share it equally.

It should be a happy thing to be able to eat fruit for free, but Zhang Chao is not happy at all.

Back in the dormitory, he found that the door of his dormitory was open, and there were laughter and laughter from inside.Taking a closer look, apart from roommates, there are several students from other dormitories.

"Old Zhang is back, come and eat the sky-high price of fruit." The classmate in the next bedroom greeted him loudly, "Boss Fang brought back the fruit plate, one cost 299!"

Zhang Chao looked over subconsciously, and there were two fruit plates on the table. They were not very big, but they were exquisite in shape.

There are seven or eight kinds of fruits on the fruit plate, each of which is only a little bit, and the arrangement is very nice.

Zhang Chao felt that the logo printed on the fruit plate was very eye-catching.

"No, you guys can eat." He forced a smile, "I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest first."

After saying that, he took off his shoes and went to bed, closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.

The boys were careless, and didn't notice that Zhang Chao was in a bad mood. They only said that he was really tired, so they lowered their voices and continued the previous topic.

"Good guy, today's circle of friends is swiped down, it's all related to the fresh fruit shop there. I heard that there are so many people lining up outside the student street, is it true?" Someone asked Fang Chengxing.

Fang Chengxing said with a smile: "It's not that much praise, but there are indeed a lot of people. I still bought a spot with the scalper, so I went in early."

Everyone was shocked: "This has just opened, and there are even scalpers!"

Zhang Chao, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, moved.

He didn't actually fall asleep. The reason why he said that was because he didn't want to join other people's conversations.

Fang Chengxing: "Scalpers are nothing. Later, the reporters came, and I saw glutinous rice."

"Is that the well-known local female anchor?" Many people present became excited.

"How is it? Is there a big difference between her real person and the camera?"

"Damn, I really like glutinous rice! Why didn't I go to Student Street today!"

"Even glutinous rice is here, this store is really awesome."

Zhang Chao couldn't listen anymore, so he put on his headphones and turned up the volume to the maximum.

In order to divert his attention, he picked up his mobile phone and logged into the "Tianhai Frontline" forum.

As a result, many netizens on the forum were discussing the opening of Xianxiang Fruit Store. Some discussed the environment of the store, some praised the delicious fruit, and even queued up for live broadcast.

With a slight slide of his finger, a post jumped into his field of vision——

"Li Tao, who is the leader of the student street between Xianxiang Fruit Shop and Wonderful Fruit Shop? "

Zhang Chao was taken aback, and clicked involuntarily.

The host posted two comparison photos, one is the scene of the queue at the entrance of the Miracle Fruit Store selling walnuts on the day, and the other is the grand occasion of the Xianxiang Fruit Store today.

There are many replies below.

【That must be a wonderful fruit shop!Jinkou, a professor of botany, asserted, supported by experimental data, that the quality of the fruit in this store is excellent! 】

Have a vision!

Zhang Chao was overjoyed, he only regretted that the forum didn't have a like function, and he couldn't give likes to this buddy who told the truth.

However, seeing the following comment, his smile froze instantly.

[Come on, one or two small experiments are ashamed to brag? [吃瓜][吃瓜][吃瓜] There are also those delicious fruits mentioned above. There are many certificates and awards in their store, all issued by authoritative organizations. Isn’t this better than the wonderful fruit? 】

Zhang Chao carefully recalled the scene of visiting Xianxiang Fruit Store today: there was indeed a row of certificate-like things hanging on the wall, but he thought it was a business license or something, so he didn't look carefully.

[No other comments, the decoration of Xianxiang Fruit Store is better than Wonderful Fruit Store, is there any objection? 】

[You don’t need to hold it, step on it [pick your nose] The decoration level of Miracle Fruit is much higher than that of many fruit shops, and the words on the signboard at the door are very well written. I heard that it is still handwritten and not computer fonts.I also heard that the shelves in their store are all made of high-quality chicken wing wood! 】

[Laughing, it’s chicken wing wood, why don’t you say it’s rosewood Hainan Huanghuali? [Smile]】

[Whether the decoration is good or not, the furniture is expensive or not, these are all imaginary. I think the most important thing about fruit shops is food safety.Wonderful Fruit Store is indeed not bad, but his family has a cat.The cat ran around every day, feeling unhygienic. 】

[I agree!I think the cat's cat is quite long, maybe shed a lot of hair, right?And if there are bacterial parasites on the cat... Tsk tsk, it's scary to think about it! 】

【What do you know?Our brown sugar is clean!He's still a hero cat! 】

[Don't wash it hard, no matter how heroic the cat is, it's still a cat!Most cats don't like to take a bath, anyway, I don't believe that black cat is cleaner than people! 】

[Oh, believe it or not! 】

……

After the flying cat rescue incident, Brown Sugar became famous in one fell swoop and accumulated many fans.As soon as he was scolded, many "powdered sugar" came out, speaking out to defend the cat in his heart.

Soon, this post was completely distorted.

The fruit plate brought back by Fang Chengxing was divided up, and the students in the next dormitory also dispersed. The dormitory building turned off the lights at eleven o'clock on time, but Zhang Chao's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't sleep no matter what.

upset.

Fang Chengxing got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and seeing that his phone screen was still on, he said in surprise, "Old Zhang, are you still awake or have you woken up?"

Zhang Chao said vaguely, "Sleep right away."

Fang Chengxing yawned: "Then go to bed early, and don't be late for work tomorrow morning."

Zhang Chao smiled wryly and said nothing, thinking to himself, he was just worried about work.

However, he needs to take a good rest to recharge his batteries, maybe there will be a hard battle to fight tomorrow!

***

At seven o'clock in the morning, Xuan Chu opened the store door on time, and was startled by three shop assistants standing in a row outside the door, and blurted out: "Why are you here so early?"

Although the fruit shop usually opens at [-]:[-] in the morning, because there are few people in the morning, Xuan Chu asked the shop assistants to come to work at [-]:[-], so they can sleep a little longer.

Zhang Chao didn't sleep well all night, and woke up at five in the morning, and couldn't fall asleep after that, so he just got up, thinking that he could go to the store earlier to help.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the door of the fruit shop, he found that Yonago and Sun Lang had also come.The three of them looked at each other, saw the big dark circles under each other's eyes, and laughed at the same time.

It seems that everyone is missing the fruit shop.

Seeing Xuan Chu appearing, everyone couldn't wait to rush forward, Sun Lang hurriedly said: "Boss, what kind of fruit is our shop selling today?"

He had already heard from Yonago that Xuanchu had left her here yesterday, saying that he wanted to replace the originally ordered fruit with another fruit.

But the boss was mysterious and refused to reveal what fruit he was going to sell, which made them scratch their heads and be curious to death.

Xuanchu didn't answer right away, but asked Yonago: "How did the fruit preview work yesterday?"

Yonago glanced at him, and said cautiously: "Many netizens have asked what our store sells."

Because she didn't know the type of fruit, she had to honestly explain in the tweet that a very mysterious fruit will be sold tomorrow, and even the accompanying picture is replaced by a big question mark.

Then a group of people left messages and complained that Mr. Pixia deliberately sold out.

As soon as Yonago was frightened, she was afraid that she would lose her followers by accident, so she had to explain that she didn't know.

Unexpectedly, the netizens didn't believe her at all, and even threatened to cancel it if the fruit was not mysterious enough.

Yonago One: QAQ

Xuan Chu was very satisfied, this was exactly the effect he wanted to achieve.

He knew that Yonago was soft-hearted, and he didn't say anything because he was afraid that she would be moved by netizens and accidentally reveal some clues.

He smiled and clapped his hands: "Come on, it's time to reveal the answer."

"This, what is this?" Yonago stared blankly at the fruit whose shape and color resembled a jujube in front of him, but he couldn't connect it with the word "mysterious".

What is so mysterious about this?Could it be that the species is relatively rare?

Zhang Chao thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "Is it... a mysterious fruit?"

Xuan Chu gave him an appreciative look: "That's right."

"Really!" Zhang Chao immediately became excited, "I read the description about the miracle fruit on the Internet before, saying that this fruit tastes good when eaten alone, but after eating it, eat other things within two hours, no matter how sour. , it tastes sweet."

"This is too amazing! No wonder it's called a miracle fruit." Sun Lang was amazed, and asked again, "Doesn't it feel sour even after drinking vinegar?"

Xuan Chu handed over a lemon and raised his eyebrows: "Would you like to try it?"

Sun Lang hesitated, he wanted to try, but he was afraid of acid.

"I'm coming!" Zhang Chao was eager to try.

The lemon was sliced, and a refreshing and rich aroma permeated the air. The people present couldn't help swallowing.

This smell is very sour.

Zhang Chao picked up a mysterious fruit and chewed it a few times.The taste of the fruit is very bland, and the flesh has only a thin layer. It is not unpalatable, but it is not delicious.

He took a deep breath, picked up another slice of lemon, closed his eyes, prepared himself, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's really not sour at all!" After a second, he opened his eyes and shouted in surprise.

Sun Lang observed his expression carefully, without even frowning, it didn't look like he was acting.

Now he was relieved, and learned to eat a miracle fruit first, and then a slice of lemon, without changing his expression the whole time, and said: "It's so sweet."

Xuanchu signaled Yonago to record this scene and upload it to the Internet.

Yonago said happily: "I see who is not convinced now!"

Sure enough, when this video titled "Boldly challenge to eat lemon with a blank face, frown, I lose" soon attracted attention.

【Shock my whole family!The sense of taste of these two people should not be broken, right? 】

[I can smell a strong sour smell through the screen...]

[Are you really eating lemons?Could it be something made of lemon dessert? 】

[Is there a boss who can explain, is this video synthesized? 】

Half an hour later, Wonderful Fruit Store reposted the video and told the truth:

"The miracle fruit is native to West Africa... because the fruit of the miracle fruit contains a taste-changing protease, it can change the taste in a short time after eating..."

[So this is the mysterious fruit Mr. Pixia mentioned yesterday? 】

[It's mysterious enough, even the name has a mysterious taste [laughing and crying]]

[The world is so big, there are so many wonders...]
