My fruit shop became popular in the world

The student street was bustling with applause and applause one after another, all cheering for Nuomi's dance.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted "Butterfly", everyone looked up in a daze, and saw a pair of colorful butterflies flying, circling several times in mid-air, and finally landed on Nuomi!

Nuomi danced so engrossedly that she was completely immersed in the world of singing and dancing, and didn't even pay attention to the reactions of the people around her.

In the live broadcast room, the barrage was maxed out.

[word mother!She has really become a concubine! 】

[Is this butterfly real or fake?How could they cooperate so well?Could it be a video effect? 】

[If it was a video effect, would the reaction of the onlookers be so great? 】

[I guess the anchor wears a sachet that can attract butterflies beforehand.When I was traveling in Java Island, I also ate Chambord fruit, but I didn’t smell any fragrance, and it felt like a gimmick.Or let the bullet fly for a while [eat melon]]

[There is no need for conspiracy theories, I can prove it at the scene!The scent is real, and so are the butterflies! 】

[My dear, you fly slowly~ Be careful of the roses with thorns in front~] (see note)

At the end of the song, Nuomi danced profusely and sweaty. When she stopped, she realized that there were two butterflies flying around her.

"?!!!"

【Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, you can cut out Nuomi Baoer's expression and make it into an emoticon package】

[Congratulations to Miss Sister for winning the title of "Fragrant Glutinous Rice"]

[What the hell is fragrant glutinous rice hahahahaha [laughing and crying] It makes me so hungry and I want to eat glutinous rice】

Nuomi had no time to take care of the live broadcast room for the time being, she focused all her attention on the two butterflies, she wanted to move but dared not move, for fear of scaring the butterflies away.

Xuan Chu smiled and said: "It's okay, butterflies like the scent on your body, and they won't fly away easily."

Nuomi raised her arm carefully, and the butterfly landed on her arm.

"Really!" She was extremely excited, but she didn't dare to speak out, her eyes were full of smiles.

She tries to interact with the butterflies and does a few dance moves.

The pair of butterflies are very obedient, following her movements up and down, really exactly the same as Xiangfei in the TV series.

Xuan Chu heard people around talking: "It's weird, there are butterflies in Student Street, I've never seen them before."

The corner of his lips twitched, and he thought that there were naturally no butterflies in Student Street, and these two butterflies were "actors" invited from the suburbs.

But they are really attracted by the violet fragrance emanating from the glutinous rice, so they cooperate like this.

When the fragrance of the glutinous rice faded away, the two butterflies reluctantly flew away.After confirming that they had disappeared, Xuan Chu secretly put them back to their original place.

The video of Nuomi dancing with butterflies has been recorded by netizens and uploaded on Weibo, where it has been trending several times.

#Wonderful Fruit Shop#

Some people say that the memory of the Internet is short-lived. No matter how sensational news is, it will gradually cease to be discussed after a week, and will be completely forgotten after a month.

But obviously, this principle does not hold true here at Wonderful Fruit Store.

Since its opening, Miracle Fruit Store has been frequently searched in various poses. What food demining blogger overturned his car, and what black cat fell from the sky to save the boy, making netizens call: Howoldareyou? (Why is it always you?)

Nuomi is very happy, this is the first time she has been on the trending search, and she didn't spend a penny!

She said to Xuanchu: "Boss Hu, come to me if there are any promotional activities in the future, and I will help you live broadcast for free!"

Some people questioned whether this was a hype by the merchants and Internet celebrities, but it was refuted by the big V "everything has a peanut":

"Hehe, Wonderful Fruit Store has to wait until now if they want to hype it? Their fruits are extraordinary, and they can become popular without hype!"

As if to confirm his remarks, the official Weibo of Wonderful Fruit Store suddenly posted a Weibo.

The text is very simple, just one sentence: "Fruits to be put on shelves tomorrow: finger oranges."

The accompanying picture is a hand-drawn picture of a long, strip-shaped fruit similar to a sweet potato. The seemingly rough peel is wrapped with crystal clear and colorful tiny particles, which looks very attractive.

An enthusiastic netizen quickly posted an encyclopedia introduction about Zhicheng:

Finger oranges are rich in citric acid and vitamin C, and have beauty and health benefits... Because finger oranges have strict requirements on the growth environment and are not easy to grow, they are currently only cultivated in a few countries, and they are also known as "caviar in the fruit world". (see note)

[Long knowledge, so there is such a fruit! 】

[It looks like caviar, and the price is also very caviar [kneeling]]

[QAQ is provoked by fruits I can't afford]

He Zhiqiang is the head chef of Sillage, the only Michelin two-star restaurant in Tianhai City.

As a French chef, he pursues extreme sophistication and beauty.

When he is not working, he likes to stay in the back kitchen, researching various ingredients and thinking about how to make dishes more beautiful-both delicious and beautiful.

He prefers to study the use of fruits in dishes, such as Sydney with red wine, smoked salmon and avocado rolls, Durham cheese with raspberry sauce... In recent years, he has fallen in love with finger oranges again.

Finger orange has a crisp taste, strong and unique aroma, and its colorful and crystal-clear appearance. It has been widely used in food products over the years.

Refers to the sour taste of oranges, which may not be suitable for dry stuttering, but it can be used to relieve fishy smell and greasy when paired with dishes or fine wines.

It just means that due to the scarcity of oranges, not only are they expensive, but they are also difficult to buy. He Zhiqiang regrets it all.

After getting off work this day, He Zhiqiang washed his hands, took out his phone and looked at it, he was shocked——

He didn't use his phone for two or three hours, and he had a lot of unread messages.

He clicked on the top one, which was sent by an old friend who is also a chef 3 minutes ago. As soon as the other party came up, he hurriedly asked: "Old He, do you want to go together tomorrow?"

Where to go?

He Zhiqiang was at a loss.

Another message popped up on WeChat, which was a local French chef exchange group he had joined.

The latest group message said: "Then it's settled, let's gather at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and go to that fruit shop to buy finger oranges together."

Finger orange? !

He Zhiqiang's pupils contracted, and he quickly flipped through the news records. After reading for ten minutes, he finally understood what the old friend's WeChat meant.

Someone sent a message in the group, saying that there is a fruit shop in Tianhai that sells fresh finger oranges.

This is terrible, the so-called one stone stirs up a thousand waves, this news has blown out many people who usually dive.

Knowing what happened, He Zhiqiang hurriedly left a message: "I will also sign up to buy finger oranges tomorrow."

He was faintly excited in his heart, if the news was accurate, it might push him a step further on the path of cooking.

"This is the finger orange? Why do I feel that it looks like a mini sausage..." Sun Lang stared at the finger orange and scratched the back of his head.

Xuan Chu thought it was funny: "Did you come to work without breakfast?"

There were two blushes on Sun Lang's dark skin: "The boss is wise, hehehe..."

He almost overslept in the morning, and rushed to work after a casual wash.

"I have bread, do you want to eat it?" Zhang Chao happened to enter the door with a bag of milk in his mouth. Hearing their conversation, he hurriedly raised the remaining half bag of sliced ​​bread in his hand.

Sun Lang showed hesitation: "Uh..."

Yonago glanced at him and whispered, "Sun Lang doesn't seem to eat bread much."

Sun Lang smiled bitterly and nodded: "Because I'm afraid of eating. For a while, my girlfriend was addicted to baking and made a lot of bread. In order not to waste it, we almost ate bread for three meals a day..."

As a result, for a long time after that, he felt sick when he saw the bread, and he was really afraid of eating it.

"That's it." Zhang Chao expressed his understanding.

"If you're simply tired of the taste of bread, why don't you try adding something?" Xuan Chu asked suddenly.

Sun Lang was puzzled: "Add what?"

Xuan Chu pointed to the fruits that were about the size of fingers.

Everyone was shocked: "Can it still be like this?"

"why not?"

Xuan Chu took a red finger orange, and lightly cut a hole on the surface, and the crystal clear red flesh inside rushed out first, each one was plump and moist, just looking at it made people happy.

He squeezed the pulp from the finger orange onto a slice of bread, folded it in half, and handed it to Sun Lang: "Try it, does it taste different?"

Out of trust in the boss, Sun Lang took the simple finger orange sandwich and took a bite.

There is a fresh breath in the mouth, like a lemon grove after a heavy rain, exuding the unique fragrance of citrus fruits.

The sweetness of the bread is neutralized by the sour and sweet taste of the orange. The fine-grained pulp tastes firm and crisp, and it explodes in the mouth like a popping egg, splashing out the rich-flavored juice.

Before he knew it, Sun Lang ate up a piece of bread, and there was still some meaning left.

Zhang Chao rubbed his stomach, thinking that he had just eaten breakfast, why did he feel hungry again...

In the end, pointing to the orange, the half bag of the most common plain sliced ​​bread was divided up by the three of them.

When your stomach is full, it's time to work hard.

But soon, everyone noticed something was wrong: there were indeed a lot of customers in the store, but there were many people who saw new things, but fewer people bought in the end than expected. Some people only bought one or two, and the average was only five or six taels .

After more than half an hour, less than ten catties of finger oranges were sold.This speed is much slower than they had imagined.

The reason is that the price of finger oranges is too high.

Because the finger orange has strict requirements on temperature and moisture, and it will stunt if it is lower than 10 degrees Celsius, this fruit has only been successfully cultivated in a few countries. In addition, it has become widely popular in the catering industry in recent years, and its price has repeatedly risen.

At present, most of the finger oranges sold in China are imported, and the market price goes up from four to five hundred kilograms. As for the price of finger oranges at Wonderful Fruit Store, it is even higher.

Xuan Chu frowned slightly.

The so-called unparalleled blessings, misfortunes do not come singly.

Even worse news came, that the Xianxiang fruit shop not far away was doing a big promotion of Narcissus mangoes in Thailand. On the basis of half price of all mangoes in the store, they also implemented the activity of buying three catties and getting one catty free.

"Are they crazy?!" Zhang Chao couldn't believe it, "Won't they lose money?"

Sun Lang, who went out to inquire about the news, didn't look too good: "I think they did it on purpose, trying to suppress us with the price."

"Boss, what should we do?" The shop assistants looked at Xuan Chu eagerly.

The old smile was no longer on Xuan Chu's face, but his expression was serious.

Brown Sugar quietly walked to his feet, hooked his tail around his ankles, and rubbed gently, as if to comfort him not to lose heart.

Xuan Chu met those agile eyes, the black eyes were like unfathomable cold pools, hiding countless secrets.

His heart moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered an ancient saying.

It is said that the unicorn will bring auspiciousness.In ancient times, if you were lucky enough to meet a unicorn, it meant that you would have good luck for a long time to come.

"Brown Tang, if the legend is true, I hope you can pass on good luck to me." Xuan Chu bent down and muttered to the unicorn who looked like a cat.

To his surprise, Brown Tang seemed to understand what he said, stretched out a fleshy and soft cat's paw, and gently touched his forehead.

"Crack."

One person and one cat turned their heads at the same time.

Yonago held up the phone, blushing in embarrassment.

She couldn't bear to take pictures of this warm scene just now, the boss wouldn't scold her...

Just as he was worried, Xuan Chu rolled his eyes: "Send me a copy of the photo."

Yonago also smiled: "Okay!"

***

Not long after Yonago took the photo, a large group of people suddenly appeared in the fruit shop, including men and women, who appeared to be in their 40s or [-]s or older.

There was a middle-aged man with a short stature and inconspicuous appearance, but he seemed to be the core figure in this group of people, surrounded by everyone.

It was He Zhiqiang who came.

Out of professional habits, he looked around as soon as he entered the store and made an evaluation in his heart.

No obvious hygienic dead ends were seen, and no peculiar smell was smelled.

The interior decoration of the store is simple but not simple, the shelves are well arranged, the goods are placed reasonably, and there is no stacking of goods.

He nodded indistinctly: these two points alone can prove that this is a good shop.

Of course, the external environment is second, and the most important thing is the quality of the product.

He saw finger oranges at a glance, which were as thick as fingers, with rough skin and dull color, making them look ugly.

But he knows what a bright and colorful flesh is wrapped under the plain skin.

The color of the finger orange pulp is extremely rich, pink crystal, tender green, light purple... According to statistics, there are currently 19 colors of this fruit, which are fascinating like colorful gems.

He first looked with his eyes, then smelled with his nose, then lightly touched the skin of the finger orange, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

Regardless of the quality, this means that the oranges are fresh enough, not like they have been transported long distances, which is exactly what he wants—in French cuisine, the freshness of ingredients is an important factor in determining the quality of dishes.

Could it be domestically produced?

The thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly denied it.

He knows most of the domestic finger orange growers. If there are large quantities of goods, he and his colleagues will book them in advance, and only a few of them will enter the market for retail.

He picked one finger orange of each color, and paid with his card without even frowning when he heard the quotation at the checkout.

Zhang Chao couldn't help being speechless, secretly guessing who this person is.

He Zhiqiang asked: "Can I borrow your venue to cut some fruit?"

Zhang Chao hurriedly said: "Of course, do you need me to help you?"

"No, thank you." He Zhiqiang said lightly.

He motioned to a young man beside him, and the latter immediately handed over the bag he was carrying. After opening it, he found that there was a chopping board and several knives of different specifications inside.

Zhang Chao: "...!"

He Zhiqiang took out a special knife for cutting fruit and cut the finger oranges he bought one by one.

Different varieties of finger oranges have different particle sizes and colors.

He twirled the pulp one by one and put it in his mouth to taste, sometimes meditating, sometimes nodding, and turning his head from time to time to talk to his assistant, who was writing quickly on a piece of paper.

There were other guests at the scene, all infected by his experimental attitude, even speaking in a low voice, for fear of disturbing him.

Seeing that he had finally tasted it, someone couldn't help but ask, "He Shen, how do you feel?"

He Zhiqiang didn't directly say yes or no, but turned his head and asked Zhang Chao: "Where is your boss? I want to discuss cooperation with him."

That's good!

Everyone exchanged a knowing look.

Everyone knows that He Zhiqiang's tongue is notoriously tricky, and the ingredients that can make him immediately decide on the first try, can't be said to be impeccable, but there must be something special about it.

He Zhiqiang greeted his companions: "You all try too."

The sugar content of the finger orange is not low, but the acidity is higher, and he cannot eat a lot at one time, so he just tasted it.

When the chefs lined up to taste the finger oranges, He Zhiqiang approached Xuanchu and said that he would buy all the finger oranges in the store, and that he would also like to cooperate with Wonderful Fruit Store and order finger oranges for a long time.

As early as when He Zhiqiang appeared, Xuanchu had a feeling that this middle-aged man might bring good news.

Now that his premonition has come true, he is overjoyed in his heart, but his expression remains calm: "May I ask if you are..."

"My surname is He, He Zhiqiang, and I cook French cuisine." He Zhiqiang introduced himself and handed over a business card.

Xuan Chu glanced at the series of titles on the business card, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The chef is quite humble.

"It's our honor that Mr. He is willing to cooperate with our store." Xuan Chu showed a smile during the business meeting, and said tactfully, "However, excuse me, this batch of finger oranges is quite a lot, Mr. He, would you like to join us?" Do you want to discuss it with the boss?"

The amount involved was not small, so he had to ask clearly, so as not to have time and space to rejoice.

He Zhiqiang said in a calm tone with a bit of confidence: "No need, I can make the decision."

The status of the chef in a Michelin restaurant is very high, because the level of the chef basically represents the level of the restaurant, especially for an excellent chef like He Zhiqiang, even the boss dare not offend him easily.

Moreover, the restaurant Sillage was originally founded by him and the boss.The boss contributed, and he was in charge of cooking. After nearly ten years of hard work, the two managed this small French restaurant into what it is today.

On behalf of Sillage, He Zhiqiang signed a one-year contract with Wonderful Fruit Store. During this period, Wonderful provided finger oranges to the restaurant on a regular basis.

The news was posted on Weibo, which sparked another discussion.

One hot comment said with emotion: "You never know what kind of surprise Wonderful Fruit Store will bring in the next second."

After sending He Zhiqiang and his party away, Xuan Chu heard a "wow", looked down, and saw Brown Tang standing in front of him, with his forelegs lifted off the ground, meaning he wanted him to hug him.

Xuan Chu laughed.

It is said that there must be auspiciousness wherever the unicorn haunts, and it is true!

"Brown Tang, you are really a lucky star!" He happily lifted the unicorn cub, put it against the furry face, and rubbed it from beginning to end.

Brown Tang, who was very comfortable being rua: "Oh!"

The author has something to say:
