My fruit shop became popular in the world

When they arrived at the hotel, Yuanzi led Xuanchu to the conference hall to meet the director.

The director's surname is Qu, a fat middle-aged man who always smiles and looks quite friendly.

Introduced by Director Qu, Xuan Chu also met several other guests who were also in the conference hall.

Apart from Zhu Geng, all the amateur guests came.

"This is Professor Hao from the Institute of Botany, Huaxia Academy of Sciences, specializing in fruits." Director Qu introduced.

Professor Hao looks about 50 to [-] years old. He wears a dark blue dress, gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair is tied high behind his head. He looks like an intellectual.

"Mr. Hu, I heard Professor Wu Ming from Tianhai University mention you." Professor Hao nodded his greeting to Xuan Chu.

"Hello, hello." Xuan Chu was a little more enthusiastic when he heard that he was a friend of Professor Wu Ming.

It wasn't long before Miracle Fruit Store opened, and it didn't have much influence.If Professor Wu hadn't personally confirmed that the nutritional content of their fruits is much higher than that of ordinary fruits, which has attracted a lot of attention, the fruit shop would not have developed so fast.

Xuanchu is a fox who only knows how to repay favors. After that, as long as Professor Wu or the Botany Laboratory of Tianhai University come to buy fruits, he will give them a favorable discount.

Another amateur guest is about 30 years old, and his skin is a bit dark, which is caused by years of outdoor activities.

He introduced himself: "My name is Feng Dali, and I am a fruit hunter by profession."

"Fruit Hunter?" It was the first time Xuan Chu heard of such a profession.

"It's traveling around the world, looking for unknown fruits scattered in hidden corners." Feng Dali grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, and said in a proud tone, "So far, I have found nearly [-] kinds of fruits. Rare fruit."

Director Qu smiled and added: "Brother Dali is also the director, planner and cameraman of the documentary "Journey to Find Fruits", so we can be regarded as colleagues."

"No, no." Feng Dali was quite modest, "I was just playing around, and I can't compare with our variety shows."

In addition to Zhu Geng, I have to say that the "amateur" guests invited by this program are actually not ordinary, it can be said that they are all influential in their respective fields.

Xuan Chu, as a "born out of nowhere" Xiaomengxin, mixed in, but his attitude was very natural, neither timid nor fawning.

Director Qu secretly nodded.

At the beginning, the program group hesitated among several candidates.Xuan Chu's resume is actually not as good as other people's, but because he looks too good, and there is a black cat that has been in the trending search, it was Director Qu who made the final decision and chose him.

Now that I see the real person, I find that he is more handsome than the one in the photo, and he is quite clear, so Director Qu is naturally satisfied.

The four celebrity guests only come to the singer Du Qin who is currently in a semi-retired state.

She was nearly fifty years old, and her body was extremely thin, not the slender kind, but... how should I put it, it seemed to be closer to malnourished thinness.

She sat alone far away, did not exchange greetings with Xuan Chu, only cast a look at him after hearing that he ran a fruit shop.

Xuan Chu frowned slightly.

He didn't quite understand why Du Qin, who has been famous for many years as a diva, looked so malnourished. It couldn't be because he didn't have money to supplement his nutrition, right?

Feng Dali noticed his gaze and whispered, "I heard that Du Qin doesn't eat anything except fruit, and she has persisted in this way for more than ten years."

There was some disapproval in his tone.

Although he is a professional fruit hunter, he is trying various fruits all the time.But in addition to fruits, he also eats a lot of meat, eggs, milk, vegetables and other foods, because only with balanced nutrition can he have the energy to find fruits in the wild.

Xuan Chu was surprised: "She loves fruit so much?"

Feng Dali vaguely knew something inside: "I'm afraid it's not because she loves to eat, but because she wants to lose weight. When she first debuted, she was a little baby fat, and was ridiculed for a long time. Later, she simply chose fruit food, and she did lose weight."

Xuan Chu was shocked.

He knew that thinness is regarded as beautiful in the human race nowadays, especially in the entertainment circle, celebrities would do anything to lose weight, but it is not common for people as extreme as Du Qin.

"Did no one remind her that it's unhealthy?" Xuan Chu asked.

Feng Dali shrugged: "Hey, do you think she doesn't know?"

Xuan Chu then stopped talking.

Everyone has their own attitude towards life, and it's not easy for him to say anything.

Unexpectedly, Du Qin took the initiative to find him.

"I've heard of Miracle Fruit Store, and it's said on the Internet that your fruits have very high nutritional value." The female singer said straight to the point.

She has a special voice, her voice is slightly hoarse, and there is a hint of ambiguity in her laziness.

Xuan Chu smiled politely, but did not answer.

He knew that Du Qin was definitely not looking for him for the sake of small talk.

Sure enough, Du Qin went straight to the point: "I want to buy fruits in your store, but you don't seem to support online shopping."

Xuanchu nodded: "Yes, at present we only support offline sales."

In fact, he also considered opening an online store, but the current output of Qingqiu fruit is not that large, and it is only enough to supply offline stores for the time being, so there is no need to open an online store.

Du Qin: "If I am willing to bear all the expenses, it doesn't matter if I pay a high price. Can you send me fruits regularly?"

Xuanchu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Du, do you usually live in—"

"I have lived in the capital for a long time."

Xuanchu thought for a while, then shook his head and declined politely: "From Nanzhou Province to the capital, even by air, it will take two days at the fastest. If you want to eat fruit, Mr. Du, you might as well buy fresh local fruits."

It's not that he deliberately wants to push the business out. In his opinion, besides the taste, the freshness of the fruit is also very important.No matter how good the quality of the fruit is, if it is stored for a long time, the taste will be greatly reduced.

If Du Qin lived near Tianhai City, with the current logistics speed, it might be delivered in time.

However, the capital city is nearly [-] kilometers away from Nanzhou Province, so no matter how fast the express delivery is, it will inevitably be delayed on the road for a while.By the time the fruit is delivered to Duqin, it will no longer be of the original quality, so there is really no need to go through such a hassle.

Du Qin raised his eyebrows and said firmly, "I don't care about these things."

Xuan Chu: "But I care."

He has the determination and perseverance to make Wonderful Fruit Store bigger and stronger. Apart from making money, he also pays great attention to word of mouth.

Fruits are very delicate, and accidents such as injury and spoilage are prone to occur during the express delivery process. If Du Qin is not satisfied with the fruit he received, he complains on the Internet, and Wonderful Fruit Store can only blame him.

He would not do this kind of behavior that might affect the reputation of the fruit shop, even if he gave money.

What Du Qin wanted to say was interrupted by Xuan Chu: "Mr. Du, if you only want to obtain higher nutritional value, then I suggest you eat foods other than fruits, such as meat, seafood, vegetables, dairy products... These will provide you with adequate nutrition."

He frowned slightly, and looked at the overly thin woman worriedly: "Teacher Du, with all due respect, given your current physical condition, you should supplement more protein and energy, otherwise you will not be able to bear it."

Du Qin was stunned, a trace of sullenness flashed across his eyes.

She has been famous for a long time, has a detached status in the music world, and has a strong personality. She was taught face-to-face by an unknown junior. How can she keep her face?

"If you don't want to, forget it." She squinted her eyes, said that, stepped on her high heels and turned to leave.

Xuan Chu smiled wryly and touched his nose.

He has only been here for a long time, and he seems to have offended people.

It seems that this recording will not be too easy.

***

In the early morning of the next day, Xuan Chu changed into the costume specially made for him by Zhou Li, carried brown sugar, and came to the hotel lobby to gather.

It was still early, and there were only a few staff members in the lobby doing decoration work.

He was idle and bored, so he just went for a walk in the garden outside, but unexpectedly, he bumped into Zhu Geng talking to Professor Hao face to face.

The two seemed to be talking about serious business, with serious expressions on their faces.

Xuan Chu didn't expect to run into them here, and was about to leave, but a few words still fell into his ears.

He couldn't help but pause.

"If a cooperation is reached, Xianxiang Fruit promises to sponsor the Botanical Research Institute every year..." This is Zhu Geng's voice.

How much money Xuan Chu didn't hear clearly, but judging from Professor Hao's expression, it should be a lot of money.

Xuan Chu raised his eyebrows: It seems that he accidentally heard something interesting.

However, before Professor Hao could answer, Zhu Geng found Xuan Chu.

His expression froze, but he immediately adjusted his expression and greeted with a smile on his face: "Mr. Hu, you are so early."

Xuan Chu walked out from behind the landscape tree as if nothing had happened, and said, "Wake up early, why not get up earlier."

Zhu Geng laughed: "It's really rare, I thought you young people like to sleep in."

Professor Hao glanced at the two of them and said, "I'll go have breakfast first."

No matter what he said, he didn't care about them and left on his own.

After a while, Xuan Chu broke the silence and took the initiative to attack: "Mr. Zhu seems to know Professor Hao?"

Zhu Geng paused, and said, "We saw it at a press conference for a new artificially cultivated fruit before, and that fruit was cultivated by Professor Hao and his team."

Xuanchu knew that the scientists of the human race had been researching the cultivation of new varieties of fruits, such as seedless lychees and square watermelons.

Yesterday he listened to Director Qu's introduction that Professor Hao led a powerful team to improve and cultivate many new varieties of fruit in the past few years, which has made great contributions to the development of the domestic fruit industry.

Xuanchu kept his expression on the surface, but he was thinking in his heart, could it be that Xianxiang Fruit wanted to launch a new variety of fruit, so he said that he wanted to cooperate with the Institute of Botany?

But it’s not surprising that Xianxiang Guoguo has a big business and has chain stores all over the country. It has the ambition and the ability to do so.

But, if it's just about cooperation, why should he, the leader of the company, do it himself?

Xuan Chu was suspicious, but it was hard to inquire too much.

When it was time to record, Xuan Chu saw the other three celebrity guests.

You Ruoqing, Xiaohua, a popular online drama, has a sweet and pleasant appearance, with a ball head, very youthful and beautiful.

Chenney, the dancer of the popular boy group, tall and thin, wearing a peaked cap, looks a bit unapproachable on the outside, but is actually very polite. When he sees everyone, he will say "senior" to the left and say "teacher" to the right. He was impressed.

Wei Wei, a variety show guy who is resident in various variety shows, this time there is no host for the variety show, he mainly assumes the role of host.

There was also the singer Du Qin who had appeared yesterday, but this time, when Du Qin saw Xuan Chu, he didn't even give him a look, thinking he was still angry about the previous incident.

When the recording started, Director Qu deliberately observed Xuan Chu's performance.

The other guests have more or less experience in front of the camera, only he is said to be recording for the first time, so people can't help but worry about his behavior.

Fortunately, Xuan Chu performed very steadily, even when surrounded by cameras in all directions, he didn't have any stage fright at all, and he rarely made small moves.

He stood quietly in a moon white gown, with a gentle smile on his lips, and it was easy to think of a sentence——

There are gangsters, like cuts are like consultations, like cuts like grinding.

"Quick, quick, give Xiao Hu a few more close-ups." Director Qu excitedly grabbed the camera and urged.

For the convenience of shooting, the eight guests stood side by side, and Xuan Chu was next to You Ruoqing. In the camera, his facial features were exquisite and picturesque, and his skin was actually whiter than Xiao Hua.

In stark contrast to this was the black cat lying on Xuan Chu's shoulder.

The black cat's hair was dyed like ink, its chin was raised slightly, and it was full of aura.

What's surprising is that it looks like a garden cat that is common on the street, and it doesn't feel inferior when it's with its good-looking owner.

You Ruoqing quietly glanced at the man beside her out of the corner of her eye, her mind fluttering.

Even in the entertainment industry, she has never seen anyone more beautiful than Xuan Chu.

In fact, Xuan Chu didn't talk much, and he didn't stand in the C position, but he became the most focused focus of the audience.

Even Wei Wei, the guest host, couldn't help but call him: "The theme of our show is 'fruit', and the program team told every guest to bring something related to fruit. Xuanchu, what you brought is again what?"

Xuan Chu was about to speak, when Du Qin said coldly: "Could it be that you forgot?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expressions were a little stiff.

Du Qin's tone was really not friendly, but they had only known each other for less than 24 hours, so there shouldn't be any conflicts.

Director Qu frowned: Among the guests present, Duqin was the biggest, and he is now in a semi-retired state.If it wasn't for the fact that the program producer had a good personal relationship with her, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to invite her, a big mountain, to come out.

If there is a real conflict between Xuan Chu and Du Qin, it will be troublesome.

"Of course I won't forget." Xuan Chu still kept smiling, as if he didn't hear the hostility in Du Qin's words.

He paused for a while, and purposely put it off, "Test everyone's eyesight, guess what I brought?"

"It should be a relatively small fruit," Feng Dali guessed, "Grapes? Cherries? Cherry tomatoes?"

Xuan Chu shook his head.

Chenney teased: "Mr. Hu will not come here wearing a pair of coconut shoes like me?"

This time he wore a pair of "coconut" shoes, and said that they are also derivatives of fruit, which made everyone dumbfounded.

Xuan Chu blinked: "It's a little close."

"The fruit-flavored shower gel you used?" You Ruoqing didn't know what to think of, her ears turned slightly red.

Everyone was chattering, but they couldn't guess what the thing related to the fruit was.

But being driven by him like this, the awkward and reserved atmosphere became lively again.

Outside the camera, Director Qu heaved a sigh of relief.

Of course, many variety shows now deliberately create conflicts for the sake of program effects.But he wanted to make a popular science program that was light, lively and warm, and he didn't want to attract attention by being aggressive.

"Your clothes are dyed with fruit, right?" It was Professor Hao who spoke, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and although she used interrogative sentences, her tone was very certain.

Xuan Chu gave a thumbs up: "Professor has good eyesight."

"My God, fruits can be used as dyes?" Wei Wei exaggerated, his eyes widened and his mouth widened.

He did this for variety show effect, but it was exactly what Xuan Chu wanted.

Professor Hao said: "Of course fruits can be used as dyes. In ancient times, dyeing technology was not so developed, so some people used fruits to dye cloth."

Xuan Chu smiled slightly, and said eloquently: "I don't know if you have heard of the term 'sun dyeing'. You can dye cloth by mashing the persimmons, that is, unripe persimmons, and fermenting the juice."

"The magic is that the color of this kind of fabric dyed with persimmon juice will change with the intensity of sunlight. When the sun is strong, the color of the fabric will be darker, and the sun will be mild, and the color will be lighter, so it is called" Stain of the sun'."

Many people were amazed when they heard this statement for the first time.

Director Qu stared at the monitor and nodded frequently: This effect is exactly what he wanted, Xiao Hu is not bad, very good!

Now that this topic was mentioned, Xuanchu naturally advertised to "Feng":

"In addition to persimmons, many fruits can also be used for dyeing. The dress I am wearing was made in collaboration with my friend who is a designer. We hope to redisplay the traditional fruit dyeing process and let more people know about fruits. dyed charm."

He didn't say the name of "Feng" directly.The advertisements on this kind of variety show are all sponsorship fees. If you advertise rashly, you may be cut off.

On the side, Du Qin's face darkened slightly.

Unexpectedly, this Hu Xuanchu was quite powerful, not only easily resolved the embarrassment, but also became the center of the topic.

After greetings and introductions, the rules of the game will be announced.

The program "Fruit King" is essentially an entertainment and competitive variety show. The contestants accumulate points through several competitions, and the person with the highest total score will win the title of "Fruit King".

According to the rules formulated by the program group, star guests and amateur guests are paired up to form four groups to participate in the first round of competition - the fruit-seeking competition.

In this project, four team members will be taken to different locations of an ecological base to search for wild fruits within a specified time.

After the competition, scores will be made according to the types of fruits found by different groups, and the scores obtained in this round of competition will be recorded in the total score.

"Director Qu said that the grouping is up to us. I don't know what everyone thinks." Wei Wei looked at everyone with a smile.

"Or draw lots to decide?"

"Let the lady choose first." Chenney's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.

You Ruoqing reacted quickly, and hurriedly said, "Teacher Du Qin will come first."

Du Qin smiled slightly, and was not humble enough to refuse. She glanced at the people present with a half-smile, her eyes lingering on Xuan Chu for a while.

Xuan Chu felt a "thump" in his heart, wondering if this cloudy queen would take this opportunity to make trouble?

You Ruoqing looked calm on the surface, but her heart was beating drums.

The candidate in her mind was Xuan Chu, but she didn't want him to be chosen.

"I'll choose Mr. Zhu." Finally, Du Qin said lazily with her lips out.

Zhu Geng looked at the appearance of a successful person on the surface, but unexpectedly he was quite relaxed. He made a "yeah" gesture to the camera, and then covered his chest and said excitedly: "The goddess actually chose me, my heart is beating now. So fast!"

This exaggerated move caused everyone to chuckle.

Xuan Chu raised his brows slightly.

He clearly saw that Zhu Geng had been looking at Professor Hao quietly, but he hadn't given any glances to the so-called "goddess" in his mouth before.

He couldn't help but think of the gossip Xiaoyuanzi told him before: Zhu Geng changed his mind to join the show after reading the guest list.Everyone privately speculated about who this business tycoon was here for.

The answer is about to come out.

Xuanchu couldn't help but think, what on earth is Xianxiang Fruit doing to make Zhu Geng put down like this and flatter Professor Hao?
