Knowing the news that Xuanchu will be on the "Fruit King" program, Zhang Chao excitedly patted his thigh: "Let me just say, the boss is tall, handsome and has a cat, and the topic is so high, the program team is blind to not choose him! "

"By the way, boss, do the other three amateur guests know who they are?" Sun Lang asked curiously.

Xuan Chu shook his head: "I don't know yet, I said that I will not announce it for the sake of suspense."

Zhang Chao clenched his fists: "No matter who comes, the boss must be the most eye-catching one!"

Yonago asked, "When will the show be recorded?"

Xuan Chu's expression froze: "Next Monday, the recording is expected to take five days. Including the round-trip time, it will take at least a week."

Previously, I only cared about being happy, but ignored a very important issue——

He left these days, what about the fruit shop business?

There are three reliable employees in the store, and he is not worried about management problems.

What he worries about is the supply.

The biggest difference between Wonderful Fruit Store and other fruit stores is that the purchaser of this store is always a mystery.

Even Zhang Chao and the others don't know where the boss gets the goods from. They only know that the fruits are ready every time they come to work in the store, but they have never seen the delivery truck come.

They speculate privately that the boss may be afraid of being robbed of business by other fruit shops, and would rather do it himself than let outsiders intervene.

It will take a week to record the show, and Xuanchu is not here, so we can't buy new products every day, otherwise there is no way to explain it.

But to keep him out of business...how much revenue would that be lost?

No, absolutely not.Whenever you can't get along with money, you can't get along with him!

After Xuan Chu thought about it, he finally came up with an idea.

Fresh fruit cannot be sold, so why not sell fruit products that can be stored for a long time?

He heard that in the era when fresh-keeping methods were not so developed, the human race usually made perishable fruits into dried fruit, preserved fruit or jam, so that they could be stored for a long time.

Considering time, cost, profit, labor and other factors, he plans to make a batch of jam for emergency.

He mentioned the idea to the shop assistants.

Yonago thought for a while and suggested: "If you want to sell jam, I suggest you pay more attention to the packaging, so as to attract more people to buy it."

This is speaking from experience. She bought a lot of beautiful stationery when she was in school, and she didn't use it up until she graduated.

"Isn't the packaging nice..." Xuan Chu suddenly thought of something, found an excuse to leave, and after a while, hurried back with a pile of various bottles and cans.

Everyone: "...!!!"

Sun Lang's eyes were straightened, and he pointed to one of the seven-color glass bottles that looked expensive and exquisite and asked, "Boss, where did you get these?"

Xuan Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry about where it came from. Xiaomi, take a look, are these bottles suitable for jam?"

...Wait, is this a question of fit or not?

Although he had ten thousand words to complain in his heart, Yonagoichi checked the bottle carefully.

The mouth of the bottle is well sealed, even if it is filled with water, it will not leak.The bottle body is made of glass, but it looks better than glass, and it can reflect colorful light in the sun.

Yonago swallowed hard, and said dryly, "That's...very good."

Xuan Chu asked: "If it were you, would you be willing to buy jam when you saw such packaging?"

Yonago nodded without hesitation.

It's hard for her to tell others, but if it was her, seeing these small bottles that look like works of art, even if she bought them and didn't eat them, she would definitely buy the jam home as a collection.

"Then use these bottles to pack jam." Xuan Chu made the final decision.

"Is this too extravagant?" Yonago hesitated.

Looking at the workmanship and materials of these small bottles, they are completely different from the jam bottles sold wholesale on a certain treasure, and the price must be very high.

Xuan Chu didn't care too much: "What's the matter, I still have a lot of such gadgets, they're not worth much, you can take some back if you like."

Yonago took a breath: "Really, can you give it to me?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Yonago was so happy that he almost cried: "Don't worry, boss, I will work hard to repay you!"

In order to fulfill his promise, Yonago took the initiative to work overtime for several days, took photos and retouched pictures for Jam, edited the copy, and posted it on the Internet platform as a pre-publicity.

She is a painter with an online aesthetic, and her ability to compose and retouch pictures is not bad. The jams she shoots are like exquisite works of art hidden in the exhibition windows of art museums, so exquisite that people can't bear to be profane.

Now everyone knows that Wonderful Fruit Store is about to put a batch of very stylish jams on the shelves.

[Just for this bottle, I can buy a hundred bottles! 】

[Don't you just want money?for you!Give you all! 】

[Oops, it’s a feeling of heartbeat [drool]]

The liveliness on the Internet was temporarily cut off by Xuan Chu, who was busy making jam.

The method of jam is similar. Wash and peel the fruit, remove the core, cut into cubes, marinate with rock sugar, pour water into the pot after the juice comes out, cook on low heat, stir constantly, wait until the juice is exhausted and the pulp turns into a thick paste. Jelly, jam is done.

He prepared many exquisite small bottles, put them into the prepared jam after uniform sterilization, and sealed them for storage.

When you're done, Xuan Chu heaves a sigh of relief.

But there is another question, where to put so much jam?

Jam bottles are fragile and can be easily broken if stacked randomly.But if it is all placed on the shelf, it is not enough.

Xuanchu had an idea and built a "jam wall" in the fruit shop overnight.Similar to the wine wall for storing wine, from the ceiling to the floor, the entire wall is nailed with transparent partitions, leaving a small "grid room".

Jams of different flavors are placed in the "cell room" in order according to their colors. When the warm lights are turned on, the transparent glass bottles reflect beautiful light, making the jam even more attractive.

When the clerks came to work the next day, they were shocked.

"I thought I entered the wrong store." Zhang Chao tsk-tsk, "It's so beautiful, just like an art gallery."

Yonago was so excited that he took pictures and recorded videos with his mobile phone, and uploaded them to various platforms, which won unanimous praise from netizens.

Soon, this jam wall became the busiest check-in point in the fruit shop, and customers rushed to line up to take photos with the wall.

Originally selling jams was only for emergency use, but because the effect was beyond imagination, until Xuanchu came back after recording the program, the jam wall was still preserved and became one of the most eye-catching scenery of the fruit shop.

***

In a blink of an eye, it was the eve of recording "Fruit King".

The fruit shop was closed, and Xuan Chu was packing his luggage when he received a call from Zhou Li.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare for. He has a lot in his sleeves, what can't he let go of?But in order to deceive others, he still prepared a big bag in a decent manner.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Li said urgently, "Xuan Chu, have you set off yet?"

"Not yet, the plane tomorrow morning." Xuan Chu didn't know why, "What's wrong?"

"Great!" Zhou Li let out a long breath, explaining the purpose of his visit, "I made you clothes with fruit-dyed fabric, and I'll send them over right now."

The reason why Xuanchu signed up for the "Fruit King" program was first recommended by Zhou Li.After learning that he was selected as a guest on the show, Zhou Li had an idea to make a fruit-dyed costume for Xuanchu.

He thought that if Xuan Chu could wear this dress on the show, it would be a good publicity for their upcoming "Harvest Season" series of clothing.

But because of the rush of time, he couldn't guarantee that it would be finished before the recording of the program, so he didn't inform Xuanchu about it in advance.

He has been rushing to work day and night these days, and finally caught up.

"You have a heart." Xuan Chu admired Zhou Li's enthusiasm for work, and immediately changed into the sample clothes he brought.

"And this one is for brown sugar." Zhou Li handed over another small dress.

When Brown Tang heard his name, he walked over curiously, sniffed it closely, and let out a suspicious "owwow".

He seemed to smell a faint fruity smell on the fabric.

Zhou Li was shocked: "What a powerful sense of smell!"

He has rinsed the fabric, so it shouldn't smell.

Xuan Chu was also surprised.

The five senses of the Yaozu are indeed keen, but such a subtle smell can only be smelled by the Yaozu with profound demon power.

Although Brown Tang is a unicorn, most of its demon power is restrained by the mysterious seal in its body, and its demon power is not even as good as some ordinary little demons.Logically, he shouldn't be able to smell it.

Could it be that something happened?

Xuanchu thought to himself, after the recording of the show, he should contact the Heavenly Court's Department of Beasts as soon as possible, and then give Brown Sugar a comprehensive physical examination.

He changes into his clothes.

This is the fruit shop uniform he designed last time. It is designed like a Taoist robe, and it looks extraordinarily elegant and handsome when worn on the body.

Rao Zhou Li had seen many handsome men and beautiful women, so he couldn't help being stunned at this moment.

It's really the wife is so immortal, the upper body effect is even better than he expected!

Xuanchu was very satisfied with Zhou Li's design.

The background color of the robe is close to moon white, and the cut is neat.Compared with his original design draft, Zhou Li made improvements in the details, making the clothing more suitable for the living habits of modern people and making it easier to move.

Because it was summer when the program was recorded, Zhou Li chose silk as the material in consideration of the hot weather and photogenic effect, which is cooler and more elegant after wearing.

Xuan Chu moved his hands and feet freely, and the hem of his clothes floated up.Standing in the fruit shop, he looked like the most dazzling star on the runway, and no one could take away a single ounce of his brilliance.

The so-called Yushu Qiongzhi, Xiazi Yueyun, nothing more than that.

***

According to the arrangement, "Fruit King" will be recorded in a province in southwest China, and the round-trip tickets will be purchased by the program group.

Because Brown Sugar also wants to participate, Xuanchu went through special procedures for him, so that he can go to the cabin with him instead of checking in the pet.

This was the first time Xuanchu took a flying tool invented by the human race. After getting on the plane, he looked around quite freshly, and couldn't help but be disappointed.

The program team bought him an economy class, which was cramped and people were next to each other. Since the pet box had to be placed under the seat, the space was further compressed, leaving almost no place for his long legs.

Fortunately, the journey was only one hour, and he planned to bear it and pass. Unexpectedly, a stewardess came up to him and said with a smile that someone had upgraded his cabin.

"Who is it?" Xuan Chu wondered, wondering if it was some acquaintance of his?

When the stewardess led him into the business class, he saw a man in his 30s or almost 40s in the cabin.

This person's appearance is quite dignified, but for some reason, when he saw him, Xuan Chu felt uncomfortable in his heart.

The man actually took the initiative to say hello to Xuan Chu: "Mr. Hu, I have admired you for a long time."

Xuan Chu looked at his outstretched hand inexplicably, and said cautiously: "You are..."

He was sure that he had never seen this person before.

"My surname is Zhu, Zhu Geng." Zhu Geng's long and narrow eyes flashed, and he handed over a beautiful business card.

Xuan Chu glanced casually, his gaze slightly stagnant.

There are only a few lines on the business card.

Zhu Geng

General Manager of Xianxiang Fruit Co., Ltd.

What did Xuan Chu think of: "Mr. Zhu, you are the one who helped me upgrade?"

Zhu Geng laughed: "The "Fruit King" program team is too stingy. They even let Mr. Hu fly in the economy class. I really wronged you."

This is an admission in disguise.

Xuan Chu was even more surprised: "How do you know—"

"As the saying goes, there are no encounters in life." Zhu Geng's eyes were burning, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "I am also one of the guests on the show."

Xuan Chu was quite surprised.

Zhu Geng continued as if nothing happened, and continued: "Mr. Hu, we may have had some misunderstandings before. It was all because of villains. I hope you don't take it to heart. I actually appreciate you very much. It is really admirable that the fruit shop has reached its current scale."

Xuan Chu looked at him suspiciously.

This Zhu Geng's attitude is quite sincere, and he doesn't seem to have any yin and yang vibes.

Could it be that he is really sincere?

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Zhu." Xuan Chu also raised the corner of his mouth, and reached out to shake his hand.

Anyway, be polite.

Moreover, as Zhu Geng said, the conflict between Miracle Fruit and Xianxiang Fruit was mainly caused by the manager Gou, who has already been fired. Xianxiang Fruit has also apologized to the public and even closed the store in Tianhai City. It would be too narrow-minded to stick to the little friction between the two sides in the past.

In business, peace is the most important thing.

There is no eternal enemy in Vanity Fair, only by uniting all forces that can be united can we become bigger and stronger.

Zhu Geng looked curiously at the pet box in his hand.

The airline has regulations that pets must stay in the box on the cabin and are not allowed to be released to avoid accidents.

He asked with interest: "Is this the cat that saved people?"

"It's him." Xuan Chu's eyes became gentle when he mentioned brown sugar.

He tapped the box lightly, and the black cat responded by patting the inner wall with its paw.

"What a clever kitten." Zhu Geng's eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

An hour passed quickly, and the plane landed safely.

Before getting off the plane, Xuan Chu once again thanked Zhu Geng for the upgrade.

Zhu Geng waved his hand: "We will be recording a program together soon, so we can be regarded as colleagues, and we should help each other."

He paused, and said meaningfully: "I will ask Mr. Hu to take care of me in the future."

Xuan Chu was at a loss when he heard it, and before he could figure out what he meant, he heard the stewardess' sweet voice in the cabin, reminding all passengers to get off the plane.

The food and lodging for this recording event will be arranged by the program team, and someone will pick up Xuanchu at the airport and take a break at the designated hotel.

Zhu Geng, who was also a guest, did not go with him. It is said that he will go to inspect the two local stores of Xianxiang Fruit first.

Xuan Chu's mood was somewhat complicated.

Although Mr. Zhu was very polite to him on the plane and praised Miracle Fruit, it is undeniable that there is still a big gap between Miracle Fruit and Fresh Fruit.

No matter how confident he is in his fruit shop, he must face up to this fact.

So much more work, he thought.

The program team sent a young girl named Yuan to pick her up at the airport. She called herself "Xiaoyuanzi", and her figure was somewhat round and round.

The girl has a generous and cheerful personality. When she saw Xuan Chu, she said without hesitation: "Mr. Hu, you are the best-looking person I have ever seen!"

Xuan Chu intentionally teased her: "How many people have you said this to?"

Xiaoyuanzi immediately raised his hand and swore to the sky: "You are definitely the only one! Seriously, Mr. Hu, you are so good-looking, have you considered entering the entertainment industry?"

Xuan Chu smiled: "Aren't I participating in your variety show?"

"That's right," Xiaoyuanzi thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, "After our program airs, there will definitely be many agencies rushing to sign you."

She said that, not entirely because of Xuan Chu's appearance.

Although we only got together for 10 minutes, I can feel that Xuan Chu has a good personality and gives people a feeling of spring breeze.Moreover, his speech is quite snarky, as long as the editing is done well, the broadcast effect should be very good.

Xuan Chu smiled, but didn't answer.

It's not that he rejects the entertainment industry, but he really doesn't have much interest in it. He came to the show more to advertise the fruit shop.

On the way to the hotel, Yuanzi gave him a general introduction to the program.

A total of eight guests participated in this program, including four star guests and four amateur guests.The program is expected to be recorded for five days, and will be divided into three episodes afterwards.

Right now, most of the participating guests have arrived at the hotel, preparing for the next day's itinerary.

Knowing that Xuan Chu and Zhu Geng met by chance on the plane, Xiao Yuanzi was also surprised.

She secretly revealed: "In fact, our program team sent an invitation to Mr. Zhu very early, but he didn't agree at that time."

Xuan Chu blinked: "Then why did he agree later?"

"I don't know the specific reason." Yuanzi shrugged, "I heard that Zhu always changes his words after learning the list of other guests."

Xuan Chu was stunned.

Xiaoyuanzi continued to gossip: "Everyone speculates privately that he may be here for some guest, maybe it's You Ruoqing."

You Ruoqing is the little flower who starred in the hit web drama.

Xuan Chu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Although he only had contact with Zhu Geng on the plane for a short hour, he feels that it is unlikely that a person like him will join a variety show just because he pursues a female star.

Could it be that there is something hidden in it?
