My fruit shop became popular in the world

As the weather gets hotter, more people buy juice.

In order to make a better profit, Xianxiang Fruit Store has specially opened up a window similar to McDonald's dessert station, which specializes in selling freshly squeezed juice.

Although the juice is not cheap, there are still many people willing to buy it.

——Because the fruit juice is backed by a fruit store, the banner of "freshly squeezed juice" and "natural without additives" is displayed. The packaging is also very beautiful, giving people a feeling of fresher, better, cleaner and healthier.

But only insiders know that this is actually an illusion.

In the beginning, Xianxiang Fruit Shop still used fresh fruit to squeeze juice, but because of the high cost, and sometimes some fruits in the store were not good enough to sell, so they simply used it to squeeze juice, add some water, adjust with sugar, and pour No one can drink it.

In this way, the cost has been greatly reduced, and Manager Gou has tasted the sweetness and intensified.

Not only are the fruits that are not in good condition and not fresh enough to be used for juicing, he even told not to throw away the fruits that have begun to rot, and use them directly for juicing.

But as the saying goes, there is no way to not get your shoes wet when you often walk by the river.

No, Xianxiang Fruit Shop was reported.

When receiving the notice, Manager Gou was training people.

Because a new employee was "ignorant" and saw some fruit accidentally rolled on the ground with some injuries on the surface. He wanted to throw it away, but Manager Gou saw it.

Manager Gou asked him angrily, "Why throw it away?"

The new employee was stunned, and stammered: "Yes, but it is stated in the entry manual that if any damaged fruit is found, it must be dealt with in time."

Doesn't disposal mean throwing away?

Manager Gou educated him: "It's just a little bit of injury, it's not pretty, but the taste is the same. When the fruit can't be sold, you can use it to squeeze the juice. Isn't this a way to deal with it? Young people, you must learn Be flexible, you know?"

The new employee blinked, seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand.

Manager Gou was about to say something when the phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, and the anger on his face turned into a smile, even the creases of his face were laughing.

He quickly picked up the phone with a flattering tone: "Boss Huang, hello, how come you call me yourself?"

As he spoke, he waved and let the employees go to work first.

Bureau Huang is the head of the District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, and he is in charge of private food stores like Xianxiang Fruit. It was not easy for him to get in touch.

Bureau Huang didn't have time to greet him, so he came up with a sentence: "Your fruit shop has been reported for selling spoiled fruits. Now a special team has been set up in the bureau, and it will come to investigate soon."

Manager Gou's expression changed drastically: "Ju Huang, you—"

Bureau Huang: "Don't worry, I've told the team leader, he knows it well. I just want to let you know in advance, and get ready."

Manager Gou breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly thanked him.

He invited him to eat and play, and gave away a lot of things, just to prevent such a day.

Not long after, the special team really came.

Manager Gou pretended not to know anything, and warmly stepped forward to greet him: "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

The leader is probably the team leader mentioned by Bureau Huang. He and Manager Gou exchanged glances and said, "Someone has reported that your store is selling spoiled food. Please cooperate with our investigation."

"Definitely, this is what we should do." Manager Gou had already disposed of the rotten fruit in the store in advance, not afraid of their investigation.

He glanced at the crowd that was gradually gathering around him, and deliberately raised his voice: "You can check boldly, don't worry, we are all serious business owners, we sell fruits of conscience, and we will never do anything to deceive consumers. "

Hearing what he said, the crowd nodded frequently:

Yes, this Xianxiang fruit shop is so beautifully decorated, the advertisements are so loud, and the fruits look expensive and fresh, so they will definitely not do illegal things.

The members of the special team immediately evacuated irrelevant personnel and started investigation.

However, those customers were not in a hurry to leave, so they gathered around the door of the store to watch the excitement.

"No spoiled fruit was found here."

"I don't have it here either."

Manager Gou raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes couldn't hide his complacency.

He thought, if he could find a rotten fruit, he would lose!

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the fruit window: "Leader, there is half a box of mangoes here, and they are all rotten!"

what? !

Manager Gou was taken aback.

He had obviously moved those rotten mangoes away and put them in the trunk of his car, where did these rotten mangoes come from?

"Misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding." He retorted subconsciously until he saw the half box of rotten mangoes.

a bolt from the blue!

This is the original box of mangoes, even the box has not changed!

How could this be so?Could it be that these mangoes have grown legs?

His mind was in a mess, and he blurted out: "This is impossible! I have already disposed of all these mangoes!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he knew it was over.

How could he speak out what was in his heart?

"No, no, I was wrong. I want to say that some of the mangoes in our store were found to be not very fresh, and they were thrown away in time. That's what I mean by handling them, not what you think... ..." Manager Gou explained in a panic.

He had an idea, and said again: "By the way, our employee handbook also said that broken fruits should be disposed of in time, and we also act according to the regulations."

The leader of the investigation team was told that he wanted to cover him up, so he followed his words and said, "I see, Manager Gou, next time you speak clearly, so as not to cause ambiguity."

Manager Gou breathed a sigh of relief, but before he had time to rejoice, the accident happened again.

The new employee who had just been trained by Manager Gou pulled his hair and struggled: "Manager, you obviously didn't say that before. You said that squeezing bad fruits into juice is also a way to deal with it."

What the hell is going on with the manager?Say this for a while and say that for a while!

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd gathered at the entrance of the fruit shop to watch the excitement booed meaningfully.

It turned out that the manager did one thing in person, but another behind his back.

Now even the leader of the investigation team couldn't save Manager Gou. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he had no choice but to ask Manager Gou to go back to the bureau to cooperate with them in the investigation.

Until he left, Manager Gou still couldn't understand how the half box of rotten mangoes was transferred from the trunk of his car to the fruit shop?

Could it be... a ghost? !

Manager Gou's face instantly turned pale with fright, and in the eyes of others, it became evidence of his guilty conscience.

"Boss, you haven't seen how embarrassing that Gou is. His legs are so weak. When someone asked him to get in the car, he couldn't climb up for a long time. In the end, he was forced in by someone hahaha..."

Sun Lang described the scene with Xuan Chu vividly. He happened to be there when the incident happened and witnessed a good show.

Zhang Chao and Yonago were also very happy.

They knew that Miracle's attack by the navy might be the fault of Manager Gou, but because there was no evidence, they could only expose it like this.

Who knows that the peaks and turns will turn bright,

"So which envoy of justice reported Xianxiangguo?" Zhang Chao asked curiously, "I also know that Xianxiangguo secretly squeezes juice from rotten fruits, maybe it's not an insider?"

Yonago: "I heard that today a new employee exposed Manager Gou on the spot."

"This brother can do it!"

Xuan Chu didn't say a word, just sat aside with a smile, listening to the discussions of the shop assistants.

Brown Sugar nestled on his knees, flicked its long tail back and forth, yawned listlessly with its cat face on its shoulders.

The master didn't take him to play when he went out last night, and if he quietly left during the day today or didn't take him with him, he would be bored to death!

But soon, Brown Tang was no longer boring, because someone from the Heavenly Court's Animal Department came to give him a physical examination again.

As a unicorn, and probably the only unicorn in the world, Tianting attaches great importance to Brown Tang's health and sends people to give him regular physical examinations.

In fact, if possible, Tianting would like to invite brown sugar to live in the protection area specially established by Tianting for rare and exotic animals, but Xuanchu objected.

He thinks Brown Tang is still young, doesn't remember anything, and his demon power is still sealed, what if he is bullied by other strange beasts?

In fact, brown sugar doesn't want to either.

Probably because Xuan Chu adopted him first, the little guy was very clingy to Xuan Chu, and he refused to leave him for half a step.

Until now, Brown Sugar knew nothing about his identity.He seems to really regard himself as a cat. He usually plays when he is full, sleeps when he is tired from playing, and eats after waking up. His life is not to mention how comfortable it is.

It was Wu Lan who came from the Heavenly Court Alien Beast Department.

From the very beginning, Brown Tang didn't take a good look at Wu Lan, and it was the same this time.

Wu Lan needed to take the hair from Brown Sugar's body for research, but the little guy kept moving around, refusing to let him touch it, and even showed its sharp claws, bared its teeth, and let out a threatening hum from its throat .

In desperation, Wu Lan had no choice but to ask Xuan Chu for help.

Xuan Chu bent his fingers and gently scratched the brown sugar.The little cat, who was still aggressive just now, was completely limp in his arms, with a rippling cat face.

Xuan Chu took the opportunity to cut off a strand of his hair.Black Sugar ignored him, and took the initiative to rub his head against his palm.

Wu Lan choked: It's obvious that this little guy is treated differently!

When Wu Lan was leaving, she happened to bump into Zhang Chao, nodded to him, and left in a hurry.

Zhang Chao couldn't help but take a second look.

He recognized Wu Lan. It is said that he is Brown Tang's veterinarian. Every time he appears, he is dressed in a black suit and black sunglasses, which is very strange.

However, he didn't spend too much time worrying about the fact that the other party was still wearing sunglasses indoors. There was a more important matter that he had to report to Xuan Chu immediately.

Xianxiang Fruit Shop really failed this time!

Manager Nagou didn't know which nerves were wrong in his head, so he took the initiative to confess to the investigation team that he used domestic narcissus awns to sell as Thai narcissus awns.

It is said that the Yellow Bureau had the intention to hide it for him at first, and even called the investigation team leader and several cronies to hold a small meeting to discuss how to cover up the matter.

As a result, the Municipal Supervision Bureau did not make a sound, and suddenly sent a patrol team down to make a surprise inspection, just in time for them to have a small meeting.

It was so lively now, the Yellow Bureau immediately changed its tune and denounced Xianxiang Fruit Store for cheating consumers, and it should be severely punished as a typical case to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

But it was still a step too late, the leader of the inspection team had already stood outside the door and listened to the whole process.

With the end of the small meeting, Bureau Huang's official career also came to an end.

"It's so satisfying! Collusion between the government and businessmen didn't end well!" Zhang Chao scolded a few more words, and then said with emotion, "It's too coincidental to say that the inspection team just appeared at that time. If it is a little later, maybe things will happen Just let Director Huang cover it up."

Xuan Chu just smiled and said nothing.

coincidence?

This is no coincidence.

This time the matter was resolved so quickly, thanks to the fact that Taoist Master Chunwei of Zhengyang Temple "accidentally" mentioned to the city leaders that some residents reported that the city supervision department of a certain district may have violated laws and disciplines.

The importance of Zhengyang Temple in Tianhai City and even the entire Nanzhou Province is very important. The Municipal Bureau attaches great importance to this information, so it temporarily decided to send an inspection team to investigate.

The investigation of Xianxiang Fruit Store has become the center of the topic in recent days, and Zhang Chao will report the latest progress to Xuanchu from time to time.

"Xianxiang Fruit has caused such a big scandal this time, and it is now being discussed on the Internet."

The popularity of Xianxiang Fruit Store is greater than that of Wonderful Fruit Store, and the heat it arouses is also higher.

Several people felt quite relieved: Wonderful was hacked so badly before, now their retribution has come, right?

"Boss, Xianxiang Fruit has made an official announcement!"

The public relations of Xianxiang Fruit Corporation are not slow, and they quickly issued an announcement, claiming that all the actions of this Xianxiang Fruit Store in Tianhai City are the private actions of a person in charge surnamed Gou, and have nothing to do with other chain stores under the company, and the company does not. know about it.The company has fired and sued the person in charge, and has taken the initiative to close the Tianhai branch.

The announcement also said that next, Xianxiang Fruit Store will launch a self-inspection and self-correction action to inspect all its fruit stores, and take this as a warning. Customers are welcome to criticize and comment.

Previously, the clerks were very upset that Xianxiang Fruit Store was robbing the wonderful business by lowering prices. After the announcement came out, they began to admire the decisiveness of this company.

Zhang Chao smacked his tongue and said, "The Tianhai branch has only been open for less than a month. It has been renovated for a long time, so they just closed it? How much money will they lose?"

"The decision makers of this company are not simple." Xuan Chu also became interested, and used the vocabulary newly learned in the human world, "It's not just a loss of money, the sunk cost of their investment will never be low."

Doing business is not that simple. Before opening a store, you must first investigate the local market, determine the address of the store, and investigate the consumption habits of potential customers... These are all sunk costs.

However, this well-reputed chain fruit store is currently experiencing a crisis of trust. If it is just to replace Manager Gou, I am afraid that netizens and consumers will not buy it.

It's better to simply close the store, make a sincere gesture of correction, and take this opportunity to launch a wave of reverse marketing, which will restore word of mouth and reverse public opinion.

Presumably the head office also took this into consideration to be so decisive.

Facts have proved that after this announcement came out, the voices of ridicule and abuse on the Internet have indeed weakened a lot, and some even praised Xianxiang Fruit for its responsible spirit.

After the scandal of Xianxiang Fruit broke out, Wonderful Fruit Store has returned to its usual bustle, and even the business is better than before.

Not only that, Manager Gou originally planned to do a big job in Tianhai City and discuss cooperation with some companies, but now Fresh Fruit is closed, and the cooperation has to be cancelled.

Some companies canceled their original plans, but some organizations turned to Wonder Fruit Store and offered a few big orders.

No, there are people who have been sent pigeons by Xianxiang Fruit to the Wonderful Fruit Store.

This time it was a kindergarten.

Xuan Chu originally thought that the kindergarten wanted to negotiate with the fruit shop about purchasing, but in the end he got an unexpected answer.

"Fruit sale?" He raised his eyebrows, thinking it was interesting.

Seeing that he was interested, the deputy director explained: "This is a practical activity for our spring kindergarten. Through this activity, children can learn more about fruit and learn some financial knowledge. The proceeds from the charity sale will be donated to Children in impoverished areas."

Knowing that there will be official media to conduct interviews and filming at that time, Xuanchu suddenly realized: No wonder the manager Gou, who has no profit and can’t afford it early, will agree to cooperate. As long as he sponsors some fruits, he can get free advertising.

It's a pity that Manager Gou tried his best to make wedding clothes for others in the end.

He smiled and agreed: "This is a good thing, we are happy to support children's charity activities."

***

Spring Kindergarten.

"Kids, let me give you a riddle: a crooked moon and a small boat with pointed ends. What is this?" (see note)

The teacher with the ponytail had a kind smile on his face, and lowered his head to talk to a group of little bean dings around his legs.

"I know! It's a banana!" Douding No. [-] quickly raised his small hand to answer.

"Yuanyuan is really smart. That's right, it's bananas. Do children like to eat bananas?"

All Douding said in unison: "I like it!"

"Does anyone know where the bananas come from?"

Douding No. [-] put his little hand like a butterfly, not to be outdone, and said, "I bought it from the fruit shop!"

The teacher couldn't help laughing: "Junjun is right. The teacher invited a big brother from the fruit shop today and asked him to tell everyone the story of bananas. Can you agree?"

"Okay!" Xiao Douding boiled, not because he could listen to the story, but because he saw Xuan Chu who walked into the classroom immediately.

This big brother looks so good, like a prince!

Xuanchu greeted Douding with a smile, and then told the story of bananas vividly.

"200 years ago, everyone liked to eat a banana called 'Big Michelle'. This banana was big, sweet and fragrant, and children all over the world loved it."

Douding No. [-] sucked his saliva and asked, "Big brother, can I eat this banana?"

Xuanchu sighed softly, shook his head and said: "One day, the big Michelle banana got sick and was infected by a virus called Yellow Leaf Disease No. It is extinct in many places and can no longer be eaten.”

"Ah, what a pity!" Bean Ding was brought into the mood, and also sighed.

"But, I eat bananas every day." Douding No. [-] tilted his head and asked.

"Yes, yes, I also eat bananas every day. My mother said that eating bananas is good for your health!" The Doudins argued with one another, and the scene was a bit chaotic for a while.

The kindergarten teacher became nervous and wanted to step forward to maintain order.

Xuan Chu shook his head at her, expressing that he could handle it.

He clapped his hands first, and the sound was loud enough to attract the attention of all the children. He smiled and said, "Everyone, don't make noise. Everyone will have bananas to eat later, okay?"

The group of Mao Maotou was really quiet.

The kindergarten teacher was a little surprised. She saw that Xuan Chu was only in his early twenties, but she didn't expect that he was quite good at raising children.

She whispered to Zhang Chao who came with Xuanchu: "Your boss is very good at coaxing children, do you have younger brothers and sisters at home?"

Although Zhang Chao is the employee who has followed Xuanchu for the longest time, he knows nothing about Xuanchu's family background.

He was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his feet: "I don't know too well..."

Over there, Xuan Chu really distributed a golden and lovely banana to each child, and continued to tell the story.

"The banana we eat now is called the Cavendish banana, which is a relative of the Grand Michelle banana. However, this banana, like the Grand Michelle banana, reproduces asexually, so if it is infected with the virus, it may Will go extinct like the Grand Michelle banana."

When he said this, the children who didn't like to eat bananas nervously picked up bananas and ate them, for fear that if they were a step too late, they would never eat bananas again.

Seeing all the little bean dings cross their faces, Xuan Chu smiled and said: "But don't be afraid, now scientists are already researching ways to change the genes of bananas and enhance their ability to resist viruses. Maybe wait a few years, and everyone will come back again." You can eat bananas that taste better than Big Michelle bananas."

After the story was told, there was thunderous applause, and Xuan Chu was surrounded by children, pestering him to tell another story.

The kindergarten teacher was afraid that Xuanchu would not be able to deal with these mischievous little devils alone, so he was about to step forward to make a rescue when Xuanchu said:

"Let's not tell the story first, big brother will take you to play games together, okay?"

According to the plan, they should go to the charity sale next.

Before the event, Xuanchu explained the "rules of the game" to the group of little bean dings, making sure that every child understood it before leaving, and asked the kindergarten teacher to lead the children to the bazaar.

Zhang Chao came over, handed over a bottle of water, and couldn't help but said, "Boss, you are really good at taking care of children!"

Look at the group of maomaotou, each of them has been tamed to the point of being a "big brother". If it were him, they might all collapse.

Xuan Chu drooled, and said casually, "Oh, it's not a big deal, just get used to it."

"Habit?" Zhang Chao was puzzled.

Xuan Chu smiled: "In Qing——in my hometown, there are many children of this age, they can be regarded as my younger brothers and sisters. They are more skinny than these kindergarten children, and they play wildly in the fields all day long. I The first time I go back, they like to come to play with me. Speaking of which, these children are quite similar to those little guys."

Zhang Chao opened his mouth, imagining the scene where Xuan Chu was drowned by a nest of children.

That picture, just thinking about it makes my head feel dizzy.

But it sounds like the boss's family is still a big family, which is not common in cities where nuclear family structures dominate.

"Boss, where are you from?" Zhang Chao was full of curiosity about Xuan Chu's family background, and continued to ask.

Xuanchu paused for a moment before saying: "Wucheng..." Qingqiu next door.

Zhang Chao knew that Wucheng was not too far from Tianhai City, but it was a well-known poverty-stricken county in the whole country.

This place has many and steep mountains. Although the environment is good, it is difficult for the economy to develop due to inconvenient transportation.

Zhang Chao asked cautiously: "So boss, are you opening the fruit shop for your family?"

He automatically imagined that the boss from a small mountain town left his hometown to work at a young age in order to earn money, and finally opened such a fruit shop to make a living. No wonder the boss usually behaves so picky...frugal.

Xuan Chu nodded: "Yes."

Zhang Chao was in awe: The boss is so inspiring and not easy!

"What's the matter?" Xuan Chu noticed Zhang Chao's ambiguous gaze and raised his eyebrows.

"No, it's nothing!" Zhang Chao hurriedly looked away, and shouted extra loudly in order to hide his guilty conscience.

Xuan Chu: "..."

weird.

The author has something to say:

Zhang Chao [clenching fists]: The boss is so hard, I have to work hard to share the boss' worries!

Note: 1. "The crooked moon is a small boat, and the two ends of the small boat are pointed" comes from the Internet.

2. The information about the big Michelle banana comes from the documentary "Fruit Biography".
