My fruit shop became popular in the world

The location of the fruit bazaar is in the commercial street not far from Spring Kindergarten. The stalls have been set up. Baskets of golden bananas were sent from Wonderful Fruit Store not long ago, exuding an attractive fragrance.

The school bus stopped, and a group of lively and lovely little Douding got off the bus one by one under the leadership of the teacher.

Each child is wearing a banana headgear made of cardboard, which was made by the teacher in the handicraft class yesterday.

This group of maomaotou is undoubtedly the most unique scenery on this street, and all passers-by stop to watch.

Knowing that this is a charity sale jointly held by Spring Kindergarten and Wonderful Fruit Store, everyone donated money to buy, expressing their support for the children's public welfare behavior.

"Auntie, do you want to eat bananas? Our teacher said that bananas are a happy fruit, and eating them can make people happy every day." The children tried their best to sell bananas to the crowd.

The fighting power of human cubs is invincible. Even passers-by who had no intention of buying at first had to declare surrender amid the cute light waves sent by the children, and were willing to take out their wallets.

Seeing that the few baskets of bananas he brought were about to run out, Xuan Chu said that he could go back to the fruit shop and bring some more.

Zhang Chao: "Boss, I will go with you."

"No, I can do it by myself, besides, my car is not easy to carry people." Xuan Chu pointed to the blue rickshaw driveway parked on the side of the road, "You just stay at the scene and watch, I will go back when I go .”

The fruit shop has no means of transportation, Xuan Chu doesn't need it, and he doesn't have a driver's license either.

He borrowed this small tricycle from his neighbors for this charity sale. After all, he couldn't use his pockets in broad daylight and in public.

Zhang Chao had no choice but to agree, seeing the figure of his boss leaving at high speed on a small tricycle, he couldn't help feeling emotional.

He tried to ride this kind of small tricycle before, but the direction was not easy to grasp, and it was more difficult to ride than a bicycle with two wheels.As expected, the boss was born as a poor child, and he can ride so proficiently and effortlessly. I am afraid that he used to carry crops on horseback in his hometown.

It's sad to think about it.

As the deputy director said, several local media came, and people from the TV station carried cameras to record, and it is said that they will broadcast the local news tonight.

The protagonists are of course those cute children, but Wonderful Fruit Shop also accepted the interview.

Just at this time, Xuanchu went back to the fruit shop to pick up bananas, and Zhang Chao was interviewed as an employee of the wonderful fruit shop.

The reporter asked him how he felt about the charity sale.

Zhang Chao thought for a while and said: "This is a very meaningful activity. It not only allows children to participate in public welfare practice, but also helps other children in difficulties. Our boss is very supportive when he hears about such an opportunity. .I think it may have something to do with his parentage."

Reporter: "What do you say?"

Zhang Chao wanted to do more publicity for the fruit shop, and added a few more words: "Our boss is from a remote mountainous area, and there are many younger brothers and sisters in the family. In order to let his family live a good life, he left his hometown to go out and work hard with his relatives. Our boss also said that when he sees these children, he thinks of his younger brothers and sisters..."

The reporter nodded fiercely while listening: The small owner of the fruit shop from the mountainous area repays the society after making money. This material is good and can be used!

After the interview, the reporter left satisfied.

As soon as the reporter left, Xuan Chu arrived carrying a tricycle of bananas.

"Boss, boss, the reporter came to interview just now. If you are not here, just interview me." Zhang Chao stepped forward to report, with an expression of asking for credit, "I said a lot of good things to our fruit shop, and I think the reporter is quite satisfied. "

"Good work." Xuan Chu praised him, then turned around and took the bananas from the tricycle.

Zhang Chao wanted to step forward to help, but Xuan Chu waved his hand and refused: "Heavy, you can't move it."

"It's okay, I'm quite strong..." Zhang Chao's facial muscles twisted, and he couldn't say the word "big".

He put down the basket without saying a word, stared blankly at Xuan Chu with a large basket in his hand, and lifted the bananas on the car to the charity sale point without any effort.

Usually in the fruit shop, since the fruits were placed in advance, he had never seen Xuan Chu move heavy objects with his own eyes, and he didn't know that his boss's strength was so terrifying.

Sure enough, the children of the poor have long been in charge of the family!

The charity sale lasted for a whole day, and with the donations from well-wishers, the harvest was quite fruitful.

Under the witness of a notary, all these funds will be donated to a rural school in a western city supported by Tianhai City.

"Boss Hu, thank you very much for your support of our charity sale." The head of the kindergarten shook hands with Xuan Chu.

This charity sale was a great success. Apart from the hard work of the children, another important factor is the product itself.

The prices of fruits sold in Wonderful Fruit Store are not low. Even popular fruits like bananas are several times more expensive than those sold elsewhere.

But this time, Xuanchu took the initiative to lower the price of the bananas sold at the charity sale, and sold them cheaper than the bananas in the Wonderful Fruit Store. Many regular customers of the fruit store came here to buy them after hearing the news of the price reduction.

But in this way, the business of Wonderful Fruit Store is bound to be affected.

Xuan Chu smiled, and said: "This is a good deed, of course we have to fully support it, besides, we even got a free advertisement."

Speaking of interviews with reporters, the principal thought of something: "By the way, Boss Hu, when will you have time to come to our kindergarten and give a special speech to the children? Let them learn from you."

Xuan Chu: "???"

Why are you looking for him to give a speech?

The head of the garden deserves to be the head of the garden, and he has a very high position: "Boss Hu, you are really too low-key. If Xiao Zhang hadn't mentioned it, we wouldn't have known you were so inspirational. If there were more of you in the society, you can endure hardship and be willing to work hard." Young people who are enduring hardships, why worry about our country not progressing?"

Xuan Chu didn't understand what was going on until he read the news published in the newspaper.

After arguing for a long time, dare to feel that I was misunderstood as a poor boy who walked out of the mountains?

But how did this misunderstanding come about?

Zhang Chao also saw the news, held up the newspaper and said loudly: "Boss, boss, look, the newspaper praised you!"

He is quite flattered, which also has his own share of credit!

Seeing his cheerful appearance, what else does Xuan Chu not understand?

"Zhang Chao," he couldn't laugh or cry, "I think you probably misunderstood something..."

Xuanchu explained that his family was not poor, but because of some special reason he had to leave his hometown to open a shop in Tianhai City to earn money.

Zhang Chao's expression was in a daze: "Then, the boss, why did you say that there are many younger brothers and sisters in the family?"

"Is the number of relatives in the family necessarily related to the family's economic conditions?" Xuan Chu wondered.

"..." Zhang Chao rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

It's all caused by stereotypes. When it comes to rural areas, many children, and migrant workers, it is easy to think of words such as "poverty" and "ignorance".

In order to prevent similar misunderstandings from happening again, Xuan Chu simply made it clear to him: "In terms of poverty, my hometown is really not that good, it's just relatively closed. By the way, the fruits sold in our store are grown by my family. "

Zhang Chao: "!!!"

He had been curious about where the fruits in the store were purchased from before, but Xuan Chu only said that there were special channels, but he never expected that it was the owner's own orchard.

This time, he really believed that Xuan Chu was not poor.

Not only is it not poor, but it is also a big family with a large orchard!

Zhang Chao: ...the poor man is myself!

At this time, Xuanchu's spiritual consciousness rang, and he stepped aside to pick it up, letting Zhang Chao, who had been severely impacted by his three views, be quiet for a while.

It was Wu Lan who was looking for him: "Daoist Xuanchu, based on the hair we collected last time, we formulated some new medicine for Brown Sugar, which may allow him to release the seal in his body as soon as possible. The medicine has been sent to you, remember to check it. "

Not long after, a young man wearing a peaked cap appeared at the door of the fruit shop, claiming to be a courier to deliver the package.

"Boss, there is a Jade Bird Express looking for you." Sun Lang yelled, turned his head and asked the peaked cap brother, "Is your company a new one? Why haven't I heard of it?"

The little brother shook his head and said, "We have been established for a long time."

So far, it has a history of several thousand years, but the development business in the human world has only started in recent years, and it is dedicated to serving some practitioners in the human world.

Xuanchu opened the package, and there was a small bottle of medicine.

"Brown Tang, it's time to take your medicine." Xuan Chu greeted Brown Tang.

"Wow..." Brown Sugar didn't run towards him as usual, but took two steps back, his eyes widened, and he stared at the medicine bottle in his hand in resistance.

Xuan Chu was funny, everyone said that the unicorn is a mythical beast that stands up to the dragon and the phoenix. Looking at Brown Tang's cowardly appearance, how can he have the majestic aura in the legend?

Brown Tang refused to come over, Xuan Chu raised his eyebrows: "I'll count one, two, three, if you don't come again, you will be punished without fruit for three days. But if you are willing to take medicine obediently, I will reward you with something good."

Hesitation flashed in Brown Tang's eyes. He hated bitter medicines, but he didn't want to give up delicious fruits either.

"One." Xuanchu began to count.

Brown Sugar's forelimbs paddled unconsciously on the ground, hesitating.

"Two." Xuan Chu spoke again.

Brown Tang became obviously anxious, and there was a whimpering sound that no one could understand.

"Sa——" Just as the word "three" came out, Brown Tang drooped his head and resigned himself to taking a catwalk forward.

Xuan Chu smiled and picked up the listless little kitten, coaxing him to drink up the small bottle of strange medicine.

"Okay, our brown sugar is the best." Xuan Chu squeezed the cat's ears, and took out a triangular-shaped fruit with reddish-brown skin.

This fruit is called African arrowroot, and it is the sweetest fruit known in the world.Its pulp contains a substance called "Saumatin", which is more than 1000 times sweeter than ordinary sucrose.

Brown Tang had eaten African arrowroot a few times before, and he could never forget its taste, but Xuan Chu didn't let him eat more.Now that he finally had a chance to taste something delicious, he couldn't wait to open his mouth.

However, before he could eat the African arrowroot, a deep sense of sleepiness hit him.

He didn't even have time to close his mouth, closed his eyes, and fell asleep like this.

Xuan Chu was stunned for a moment, picked up the medicine bottle and looked at it carefully.

Only then did he notice that there was a line of small words on the bottle: After taking this product, you will be lethargic for 10 to 15 days. This is a normal phenomenon, please don't panic.

Xuan Chu glanced at the brown sugar who was snoring, feeling a little guilty.

After the little guy wakes up, he probably won't remember this... right?

***

Xuanchu received an unexpected call from He Zhiqiang.

On the phone, the French chef warmly invited Xuan Chu and his staff to come to his restaurant to try meals made with finger oranges.

Prior to this, He Zhiqiang signed a long-term supply contract with Wonderful Fruit Store on behalf of Sillage, and both parties are very satisfied with this cooperation.

After He Zhiqiang went back, he used these finger oranges to study new dishes with great concentration and gained a lot.

In order to thank Xuan Chu, he specially prepared this feast with Zhicheng as the main character.

On the day of the banquet, Xuanchu closed early, and brought a group of shopkeepers—oh no, no kid, brown sugar is still in the drowsiness period after taking the medicine, sleeping soundly, no one can wake up—to go to Sillage for dinner .

Before leaving, he took a special look at Brown Tang, seeing that he was sleeping soundly and that he couldn't wake up for a while, so he left in peace.

Sitting in the taxi, Zhang Chao rubbed his hands excitedly and nervously: "This is the first time I eat French food seriously! I heard that French food has a lot of etiquette, and it takes two or three hours to eat a meal?"

Sun Lang went to a French restaurant for a candlelight dinner with his girlfriend on Valentine's Day, but the deepest impression was——

"There are quite a lot of tricks, such as appetizers, side dishes, and main dishes. I made several dishes, but each dish was only a little bit. After we came out, we went to a barbecue stand to eat skewers. I don't understand. Since There are only a few dishes, what are you doing with such a big plate?"

Yonagoichi still likes the exquisite and romantic flavor of French cuisine, but she has never set foot in a French restaurant, and she has only been addicted to the photos on the Internet.

Sillage is located in the city center. It used to be a concession area and was later transformed into a high-end cultural block.

In such a land where every inch of land is expensive, this restaurant occupies an entire two-story small western-style building by itself, which shows its strength.

Before coming here, Yonago did some homework and said to everyone: "I heard that the earliest restaurant of Sillage was not here, but it was just a small shop. Later, the restaurant became more and more famous, so it was changed to this place."

Sillage deserves to be rated as a Michelin two-star restaurant. From the moment they enter the door, there are waiters who warmly greet them and guide them to the dining area prepared in advance.

"Wow, it's really similar to the one in the TV series." Zhang Chao quietly looked around and sighed with emotion.

Before coming to eat, they were reminded of the dress code. Although a three-piece suit is not mandatory, there is also a requirement that slippers cannot be worn inside.

Zhang Chao's men were wearing short sleeves and long trousers, while Yonago was wearing a knee-length dress.Looking at the people around them, they were all in the same attire, absolutely no nightclub attire or tank top and shorts.

There is gentle music flowing in the air, the lighting is in warm tones, and the staff coming and going are wearing uniform and formal uniforms, with decent smiles on their faces, giving them a sense of luxury.

The theme of the set meal is related to finger oranges, and each dish is a dish researched by He Zhiqiang using finger oranges.

The starter is orange foie gras jelly.

The delicate and smooth crystal foie gras jelly is sprinkled with various finger oranges, so beautiful that people want to open their mobile phones to take pictures immediately.

Foie gras has a lot of fat and has a fatty taste. The unique sour aroma of finger orange just blends with it, bringing a wonderful dining experience.

The side dish is cod baked in champagne with orange fingers.

The champagne tastes mellow and elegant, mixed with finger orange, which not only removes the fishy smell, but also highlights the thick and tender taste of the cod.

The main course was beef with white sauce and finger oranges.

The beef is cut into fingernail-sized cubes, fried to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, topped with white sauce, topped with finger orange granules of the same color, just right to eat in one bite.

The beef is delicious and plump, and the taste of the orange just neutralizes the thick and greasy sauce, and the taste is rich in layers.

Dessert is caramel white chocolate mousse with finger orange.

Colorful finger oranges are randomly sprinkled on the shell-shaped mousse, like a pearl left by a mermaid.

The sourness of finger oranges and the sweetness of caramel together create a song of spring. The soft and smooth taste of chocolate unexpectedly matches the bursting texture of finger oranges.

……

Everyone was very satisfied with this meal.

Finally, Chef He Zhiqiang came out in person and asked with a smile: "How do you guys feel about this dining experience?"

"very delicious!"

“Excellent!”

Xuan Chu thought for a while, and said seriously: "Overall, it's good, but I think some dishes still have room for improvement."

He Zhiqiang became serious: "Mr. Hu, please tell me."

Xuan Chu started talking eloquently, and He Zhiqiang took a notebook and wrote vigorously, nodding as he listened.

"That's about it." Xuan Chu said.

He Zhiqiang's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect Mr. Hu to have such a deep research on food."

Whether a person can eat or not can be seen from his words and deeds.People like Xuan Chu are definitely at the level of gourmets.

Xuan Chu said modestly: "What am I? I have a friend who is a master-level gourmet expert. He can eat and cook. I learned all my understanding of food from him, but it's just a drop in the bucket. "

He Zhiqiang became more and more excited. He loves to delve into delicacies, and he also likes to communicate with others about delicacies. He can't wait to see the friend Xuan Chu said immediately: "Mr. Hu, if your friend doesn't mind, can you introduce me?"

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Xuan Chu touched his nose, "My friend is not in the country (people) all the year round, and he rarely uses communication tools such as mobile phones."

"That's it..." He Zhiqiang was a little disappointed.

At this time, the waiter walked up to him and whispered something in his ear, and his face changed slightly.

He apologized and said: "I'm sorry, I have an urgent matter to deal with at the moment, so excuse me first."

Everyone hurriedly said: "It's okay, Chef He, go get busy."

He Zhiqiang left in a hurry, and it could be seen that this sudden incident must be urgent, which made this usually calm and calm chef lose his composure.

Staring at his back, Xuan Chu narrowed his eyes slightly.

It's a bit strange.
