My fruit shop became popular in the world

Zhou Li is a fashion designer. He owns an independent clothing brand called "Feng". He also opened an online store in a certain treasure, and the sales are not bad.

Recently, on a whim, he planned to design a batch of fruit-dyed clothing.This time I happened to meet Xuan Chu, and I heard that he is a fruit expert, so I wanted to ask him if there are any fruits that are suitable for dyeing.

Xuan Chu thought for a while, and said: "There are many fruits that can be used for dyeing. Common grapes, blueberries, kiwis, pomegranates...the skins or stalks of these fruits are suitable for dyeing cloth."

"For example, avocado, you know, is avocado. Although this fruit is black and green, it can be dyed in colors such as beige and pink. And because avocado is rich in tannins, the dyeing and color fixing effects are very good. Well, it can be dyed directly without adding mordant, and the dyed color is more saturated.”

Zhou Li nodded: "I know that. Many tannin-rich fruits are suitable for dyeing, such as persimmons, grapes, and prickly pears."

Xuan Chu said again: "In addition to fruit, some nuts are also suitable for dyeing. For example, mixing chestnut shells or skins with alum can dye a beautiful brown color, peanut shells can be dyed light yellow, walnuts and iron can be dyed rice grey."

"The dyed colors of different materials are different. Silk is brighter and brighter, while cotton is more stable..."

The more Zhou Li listened to it, the more excited he became. After being popularized by Xuan Chu, he felt more and more that the idea of ​​fruit dyeing was very feasible.

He couldn't help blurting out: "Mr. Hu, I wonder if you are interested in cooperating with me?"

Seeing Xuanchu's puzzled expression, he hurriedly explained that cross-border cooperation in the clothing industry is very popular at present, because such cooperation is good for increasing the popularity of both parties, can expand the audience, and play a mutually beneficial and win-win role.

Xuan Chu didn't refuse, but he didn't immediately agree either.

This cooperation is not the same as the Spring Kindergarten's charity sale, it involves a wider scope, so he has to think about it carefully.

He thought that most of the things needed to make fruit dyeing are fruit peels, fruit stalks, leaves, etc. These leftover materials cannot be sold. If they are provided to Zhou Lifang for dyeing cloth, it would be a good place to go.

The only thing is, he still doesn't know what the clothing brand in Zhou Li's hands is like, quality, word of mouth, consumer groups, etc., all have to be taken into consideration.Otherwise, if something goes wrong with the brand, it will damage the brand image of Wonderful Fruit Store.

Xuanchu proposed that he wanted to visit Zhou Li's studio on the spot.

"No problem!" Zhou Li agreed without hesitation, and warmly invited, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, or just today."

Zhou Li drove a car over, different from his fashionable dress, it was a low-key black Volvo.

The car drove all the way into a villa area called "Man Ting Fang".

Xuanchu once heard Sun Lang and Zhang Chao mention this "full garden" villa area when chatting with Zhang Chao. It is said that it is one of the most upscale residential areas in the local area. The area is full of single-family villas, and the cheapest house in it costs 1000 yuan. How much.

"My father bought this house, and he traveled around the world with my mother." Zhou Li generously admitted that although he didn't elaborate on his parents' occupations, it is clear that his family background is very good.

The villa has three floors, the first floor is the living room and kitchen, the second floor is where Zhou Li lives, and the third floor is his studio.

After unlocking the fingerprint lock, General Husky rushed in the door first, rolled wildly on the carpet in the living room, sniffed the furniture here and there, and after confirming that it was still his own smell, he wagged his tail in satisfaction.

"Don't look at the general who is usually very naughty, but he is actually very sensible." Zhou Li's eyes fell gently on the husky who was excited because of returning home. "The third floor is my studio, and he never goes up to make trouble."

This is really a rare quality for a husky who is good at destroying.

It seems that although this dog is ignorant and has no demon power, it already has vague thinking ability.

In the legends of the human race, "monsters" mostly show people with hideous images.They don't know that the monster race is actually the same as the human race, and it is only one of the thousands of races in the world. People are divided into good and bad, and demons naturally also have the difference between good and bad.

The general is obviously a good monster with no heart.

Although Heavenly Court strictly manages the demon race in the human world, it has also established a corresponding management department.But for good monsters who don't commit crimes, the relevant departments actually don't interfere much. Little monsters like generals can stay with the human race as long as they don't cause big troubles such as revealing their identities.

Zhou Li took Xuanchu up to the third floor to visit the studio. The general stopped in front of the stairs, wagging his tail, and watched eagerly as the master took his new friend into the place he could not enter.

Xuan Chu also asked Brown Tang to stay downstairs.After all, he was here to visit, and the owner made such a gesture, so it was not easy for him to bring the cat.

Although he knew in his heart that even if brown sugar entered the studio, he would definitely not make trouble.

Zhou Li was a little worried, his Erha would be fine and provoke Brown Tang, and he would be ashamed if he hurt his cat.

"Or I'd better tie the general up." He hesitated.

"No need." Xuan Chu was very calm, "No accident will happen."

Zhou Li hesitated to speak: He usually takes the general out for a walk, but this Erha likes to tease the pets of other residents in the community, and it is not an exaggeration to say "dogs dislike cats"...

"It's all right." Xuan Chu saw his concerns, and pointed meaningfully, "Here, take a look."

Zhou Li turned his head subconsciously, just in time to see his dog running towards the brown sugar with joy, and unexpectedly stretched out the dog's head to hit the brown sugar.

This is his favorite top bull game, and he can win every time.

This time, however, it overturned.

It was too late and then quickly, I saw a black shadow flashing past quickly, and heard a "snap", the general was knocked to the ground by a paw, and when he got up, he still looked dazed, deeply explaining what is meant by "eyes" Stare blankly".

Zhou Li: "..."

This stupid dog was so stupid that he didn't even notice.

"Wang woo..." Mr. Husky ran to his master aggrievedly for comfort.

Zhou Li had no choice but to rub the dog's head to appease his stupid dog, and then sighed to Xuan Chu: "I have also seen the video of Brown Tang saving lives. To be honest, I thought it was a composite at the time, but now I realize how naive I was. "

Xuan Chu smiled tactfully: "Brown Tang's strength is indeed a little stronger than that of ordinary cats."

Zhou Li: "..."

A little bit?I'm afraid it's a billion points!

After being taught a lesson, the general has suffered a lot this time, with his tail between his legs, he dare not approach brown sugar again.

When the two came out of the studio, what they saw was this scene——

Brown Tang was lazily sleeping on the sofa in the living room, while the general shrank far away in the corner, looking up at Brown Tang secretly from time to time, and immediately buried his head and pretended to be dead when there was any trouble.

Zhou Li really deserved to be his own master, couldn't help laughing out loud, and even took out his mobile phone to record this scene as a souvenir.

Regarding the results of this visit and investigation, Xuanchu was quite satisfied after various evaluations.

First of all, it can be seen from this villa that Zhou Li's financial resources are not weak.

Secondly, he looked at the clothes that Zhou Li had designed in the past, and he had his own style, and the sales and word-of-mouth of the online store were good.

After weighing the pros and cons, he agreed to Zhou Li's cooperation invitation.

Zhou Li was overjoyed, and said that to celebrate the success of the cooperation, he invited Xuan Chu to the restaurant.

The kindness was hard to turn down, and he also wanted to get to know Zhou Li better, so he agreed.

Coincidentally, the restaurant Zhou Li found was the Sillage where He Zhiqiang worked before.

In fact, the owner of this restaurant has long wanted to kick out his partner. As soon as He Zhiqiang left, he immediately replaced him with a chef who was said to be hired from France with a lot of money, and he was also a Frenchman.

Today happens to be the first day of work for the French chef.

Only then did Xuanchu know that Zhou Li's father was still one of the shareholders of the restaurant.

The manager of the lobby, Wu Neng, nodded and bowed to welcome the two of them in. Xuan Chu frowned at that humble appearance.

The last time he was invited to dinner, he also saw this Wu Neng.

As a result, the other party ignored them when they saw them, and sent a waiter over to serve them. The attitudes of the two times before and after were completely different.

Wu Neng graciously handed over the menu.

Xuan Chu glanced quickly and found that the dishes were completely different from before.

He Zhiqiang is good at using various fruits in meals, so many of the previous dishes are related to fruits.

But on the menu in hand, except for desserts related to fruits, there is no fruit at all in other dishes.

Zhou Li liked the raspberry and lychee mousse that the restaurant sold before. Seeing that this dessert was not on the menu, he asked a special question.

Wu Neng explained that since the restaurant has a new head chef, the menu has been updated.

"You can try the Opera House Cake, which tastes as good as raspberry lychee mousse." He recommended it with a smile on his face.

Hearing what he said, Zhou Li didn't insist anymore, so he ordered this.

While waiting for the food to be served, Zhou Li chatted with Xuan Chu.

"The former Chef He was really good at cooking, I don't know why he left suddenly." He said regretfully.

Xuanchu knew some inside information, but he didn't say anything when it came to other people's privacy.

Zhou Li revealed another secret: "My dad decided to invest in Sillage because he liked Chef He's craftsmanship. Well, now that Chef He has left, my dad will be very disappointed when he comes back."

Xuan Chu raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.

Because it was the patron's father, the dishes on this table were served very quickly and the service was very thoughtful, but Zhou Li was not very interested.

"I feel that the taste is not as good as before." He put down the tableware before finishing the food on the plate, all disappointed.

In all fairness, the dishes aren't all that bad.It's just that the restaurant's slogan was too loud, saying something like "specially hired French chef" and "authentic French flavor", which made him expect too much, and in the end he was even more disappointed.

"I'm sorry, Xuan Chu, I wanted you to have a good meal, but it turned out like this." Zhou Li said discouraged.

Xuan Chu smiled slightly: "It's okay, this one is not good, let's change to another one next time, and I will treat you when the time comes."

Come to think of it, He Zhiqiang's private restaurant also opened at that time, right?

The general and brown sugar were temporarily sent to a restaurant for pets next to the French restaurant. The two went to retrieve the pets, and Zhou Li drove them back to the student street.

By the time one person and one cat returned to the fruit shop, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

When the clerks saw them, they crowded up excitedly and touched the brown sugar one by one—this little guy, except Xuan Chu, was not allowed to be hugged by anyone, at most he was only willing to be touched by others.

Customers in the store learned that the black cat was almost stolen by a pet dealer, and they were filled with righteous indignation and scolded the unscrupulous thief. They also lamented that Brown Tang was lucky that it was found so quickly.

"Thanks to the anonymous reporter, if it weren't for him, the police would not have caught the thieves so quickly." Someone said with emotion.

Xuan Chu had a smile on his face, and when the audience discussed who the righteous person was, he caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye and frowned slightly.
