My fruit shop became popular in the world

Back at the hotel, Chang Xiao was finally able to speak, like a irascible little lion, he yelled angrily at Xuan Chu: "What the hell are you doing!"

"Don't be angry, please listen to my explanation." Xuanchu said in a calm tone, smoothing the little lion's hair, "There is a problem with the fruit base, I guess, it may be related to the demon clan."

Chang Xiao squinted at him, and hummed, "I thought you had a good time with that Mr. Zhu, and you didn't know anything."

He wanted to say a long time ago that what he saw in the orchard was not a bird at all, but a little demon of unknown species.

So he wanted to tell the truth at the time, but Xuan Chu covered his mouth to stop him. He was so angry!

Xuan Chu ignored his yin and yang aura, and continued: "There are also problems with the fruit trees in the base. Some of them should not have appeared in the human world."

Chang Xiao restrained his expression, bent down, put his elbows on his knees, put his hands in a tower shape, pressed his chin, and half-closed his eyes: "You continue."

Xuanchu said a few names and explained: "These plants are all unique to the cultivation world."

Chang Xiao raised his eyebrows, deliberately provoking: "That doesn't mean that this base is related to the Yaozu, maybe these plants were already there before the base was established."

"It's not impossible, but—" Xuan Chu raised the corners of his mouth, and said in a firm tone, "If the people at the base really didn't know that there was something wrong with these plants, why would they hide the origin of the double peach fruit?"

Chang Xiao was stunned: "How to say?"

This fruit is indeed like a cherry and a peach, so what's the problem?

Xuan Chu's eyes were heavy: "This fruit is indeed a hybrid of cherry and peach, but in addition to these two fruits, there is also a plant called 'Kui Dou' in the practice world that participated in the hybridization process."

"Kui Dou?" Chang Xiao heard of this plant for the first time.

Xuanchu's master, Ci Hangdao, is good at medicine, and often takes his apprentices to various places to collect herbs, so Xuanchu learns a lot of botany knowledge.

He explained: "Ki Dou is rare even in the practice world, because this kind of plant is very special and must rely on demon power to grow. Its fruit is tasteless when eaten dry, but if eaten with other foods, it can make the food become more delicious. It is even more delicious. But because Kuidou fruit is nourished by demon power, it is not suitable for other races except demon races to eat, especially for human races, eating too much is harmful to health, so heaven prohibits bringing this plant to the human world."

Chang Xiao blinked: "No wonder you concluded that this base is related to the Yaozu."

Xuan Chu frowned.

All cultivators must report to the relevant departments of the Heavenly Court before coming to the Human World. If the other party really brings plants that are forbidden by the Heavenly Court to the Human World, how can they be allowed to pass?

"The demon clan behind this is very likely to be an unauthorized smuggler, Zhu Geng has probably something wrong with him." Xuan Chu said in a deep voice.

"I think the reason why he wants to invite me to join them may be that he also realizes that I am not a human race and wants to take the opportunity to win me over." Xuan Chu analyzed.

Chang Xiao asked again: "Then why did you stop me then?"

Xuan Chu smiled wryly: "Because it is not yet sure how many of them there are."

Regardless of whether Zhu Geng has anything to do with Yaozu or not, since he was able to run the company so successfully in just a few years, it can be seen that he is very capable.The orchard was his territory, and if he acted rashly, the consequences could be serious.

Having said all this, Xuan Chu didn't intend to hide any more: "Perhaps I should agree to Zhu Geng's invitation, so that we can further investigate clearly what they are going to do."

***

However, the plan is not as good as changing. Before Xuanchu had time to learn more about the fruit base, he turned around and received a call from Zhou Li.

On the phone, the fashion designer yelled and happily told him that the "Harvest Season" series of costumes had been preliminarily produced and wanted to invite Xuan Chu to come to his studio to see the effect.

It is related to the future development of the fruit shop, Xuanchu attaches great importance to the cross-border cooperation between Wonderful Fruit and the clothing brand "Feng".

He originally planned to stay and investigate the truth, so he had to temporarily put the matter aside and return to Tianhai City first.

Right now is the dog days, the hottest season of the year, Xuan Chu carried a few huge round watermelons, and led Chang Xiao to Zhou Li's villa.

He actually didn't want to bring Chang Xiao here, but it happened that Jiu Yao was resting today and he was also in the fruit shop. He was afraid that the two would conflict if he was not around, so he had to force Chang Xiao to bring him along.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Before he got close to the villa, he heard a loud dog barking from a distance, and then a majestic husky appeared in his vision, rushing towards Xuanchu like a black and white whirlwind, followed by a panting Zhou Li .

"General, stop!" Zhou Li angrily chased after his energetic dog, barely holding on to the leash.

Xuan Chu couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zhou Li looked over in surprise, and said in surprise, "Ah, you're here. I said why the general is so excited all of a sudden. If you say you're coming, come, what else do you bring..."

As he spoke, he swallowed heavily, staring straight at the big green watermelon.

Xuan Chu winked at him.

"..."

Zhou Li scratched the ends of his hair in embarrassment, and stopped pretending. He smiled, showing two rows of white teeth, which could be used for toothpaste commercials: "Thank you, buddy."

Xuan Chu also smiled: "Let's go, let's look at the clothes."

"General, let's go." Zhou Li went to pull the dog's leash, but found that it wouldn't move.

Looking along the dog leash, he was shocked to find that his normally fearless bastard was curled up into a ball, shaking violently.

It was the first time he saw the general scared like this, even if he was abducted by a dog dealer before, he never saw him scared.

"What's wrong with the general?" Xuan Chu also noticed Husky's abnormality.

Zhou Li looked confused: "I don't know, it was fine just now."

Xuan Chu suddenly remembered something and looked behind him.

Sensing his gaze, the man in black who was playing mobile games with his head down also raised his head and raised his eyebrows at him.

"This is..." Zhou Li was drooling over the watermelon just now, and only then did he notice Chang Xiao who was a few meters away.

Xuan Chu looked at the trembling general, then at the expressionless Chang Xiao, and instantly understood everything.

"Let me introduce you, Lin Changxiao, my cousin." As he spoke, he nudged Changxiao with his elbow, and whispered, "Mr. Dao, restrain your breath."

Look at scaring the dog like this.

"Hiss!" Zhou Li took an exaggerated breath and said with emotion, "Brother Xuan Chu, your family's genes are really good."

Chang Xiao glanced at the general shrunk into a ball lightly, snorted lightly, and finally held back the breath that was deliberately released.

Without the fearful aura of deterrence, the general is finally not so cowardly, but he still dare not approach Chang Xiao, and he follows his master's legs step by step with his tail between his legs, which is a cuteness that has never been seen before.

……

In the hot summer, it is the best match with watermelon.

After entering the villa, Zhou Li couldn't wait to go to the kitchen to deal with the watermelon Xuanchu brought.

The fruit knife was gently drawn on the watermelon skin, and the whole melon split in half automatically, revealing the bright red sandy flesh, but it was still a seedless melon.

"This melon is so delicious! It tastes sandy and crunchy, and the juice is juicy and sweet. It's so refreshing!" Zhou Li held the watermelon, eating it so much that his face was splashed with juice and he didn't bother to wipe it off.

After he had a good meal, he reluctantly put down the watermelon, burped, rubbed his stomach contentedly, and was full of energy: "Come on, let's go upstairs to see the finished product of 'Harvest Season'."

Known as "Harvest", this series of clothing uses the golden yellow of the harvest season as the main color, bold and harmonious, colorful but not vulgar.

Xuan Chu was generally satisfied, but vaguely felt that something was missing.

He told Zhou Li what he thought, and the latter clapped his hands heavily and nodded madly: "Let's think about it together! To tell you the truth, I also feel the same way. I have thought carefully, the existing clothing should be Nothing wrong with it, just missing some fitting accessories."

Don't underestimate the role of accessories in dressing, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the finishing touch.

A small brooch can make a monotonous white T fashionable.

A thin necklace adds a sense of detail while modifying the neck.

"Actually, I have considered accessories made of many materials, including crystal, platinum, emerald, pearl, gemstone, and diamond, but they all don't feel very harmonious." Zhou Li scratched his hair in distress, "Don't add it, it's a bit empty, add it, I feel like Superfluous."

A thought flashed through Xuanchu's mind, and he asked, "Have you considered using fruit cores?"

"Huh?" Zhou Li was shocked, "The fruit core can also be used as an accessory?"

Seeing his expression, Xuan Chu knew what he was thinking, and explained with a smile: "It's not an apple core, but Wenwan's fruit core."

"Oh oh oh!" Zhou Li reacted immediately.

Although he doesn't play Wenwan, there are veterans around him who like to make bracelets. He has vaguely heard that many bracelets are actually made of fruit cores.

"A buddy of mine bought a bracelet at a high price a while ago. It's called a drop|blood lotus." Zhou Li said, "I've seen the real thing before, not to mention it's pretty impressive."

Xuan Chu: "Drip | blood lotus is actually the core of the pandanus fruit. It does look somewhat similar to lotus, and because the whole body turns blood red after hand toy, it is called 'Drip|Blood'. But you That friend was probably cheated, this kind of fruit is quite common, and the price is not expensive."

"There are some things in the literary and entertainment world that sound mysterious and mysterious, such as Guijianshou, Blood Dragon Wood, and Golden Buddha Grass. The names are more domineering than the other, but they are not so mysterious. For example, Grimace Bodhi is actually just the seed of the tree of human face." Xuanchu continued to popularize science.

Zhou Li listened to Xuan Chu's talk about several common fruit stone bracelets in the literary and entertainment world, his eyes shone brightly, and he clapped his hands and said:

"Not bad, really good. If you use fruit cores to make accessories, it will not overwhelm the guests, but also fit the theme of this series of clothing, and complement the clothing itself, which is the effect I want. I am looking for someone to find out if there is a suitable one." Put the fruit stones on a string."

Xuan Chu folded his arms around his chest, half smiling but not smiling: "Cough, just to remind you, you don't need to look far away at all."

Zhou Li opened his mouth and said in surprise, "You mean you have connections?"

"Yeah." Xuan Chu nodded, and raised the corner of his mouth, "I can find any plant's fruit pit for you."

"That's great!" Zhou Li was overjoyed, "With your help, we will definitely be able to catch up with Fashion Week."

"Fashion Week?" Xuan Chu was taken aback.

"Oh, Yuku readers, I don't seem to have told you about this yet." Zhou Li patted his head and explained, "In half a month, it will be Tianhai's annual Fashion Week event. I want to bring ' Harvest season' for this fashion week."

Xuanchu didn't know much about the fashion industry, but after listening to Zhou Li's explanation, he realized that Tianhai Fashion Week was quite famous in the industry. The event was led by the Tianhai Municipal Government. One million is a major annual event in Tianhai City.

"I heard that this Tianhai Fashion Week will be the event with the largest scale and the most cooperative brands in history. This is a good promotional opportunity for the 'harvest season', so I want to make it as perfect as possible. "

During this time, Zhou Li was upside down day and night, sleeping an average of five hours a day, and working overtime for the rest of the time, just to catch up with Fashion Week.

Xuan Chu patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task as soon as possible."

***

Xuan Chu is a man of faith, he made a special trip back to Qingqiu and brought back a sack of strangely shaped fruits.

In the living room of Zhou Li's house, he dumped the cloth bag on the ground and piled up a hill of fruit.

"So many!" Zhou Li was dumbfounded.

Good guy, there are probably hundreds of fruits here, right?

Xuanchu explained: "Because I don't know what kind of fruit you need, so I just find all the fruits I can find."

Zhou Li muttered to himself: "I have a feeling of being wrapped|raised..."

What Xuan Chu brought was fresh fruit, and to get the core inside, the flesh had to be removed, processed and polished to present the most perfect shape.

He volunteered for this task.

"Can you?" Zhou Li looked at his white, tender and boneless palms, and hesitated, "Why don't you hire someone to do it?"

He was worried that Xuan Chu would accidentally cut his hand.

Xuan Chu smiled slightly, and twirled a utility knife nimbly and quickly with his fingers: "No need."

As if to prove his ability, he casually picked up a blue-purple fruit that was somewhat similar in shape to a blueberry, and removed the flesh, exposing the spherical core with a rough surface.

Xuanchu introduced: "Its scientific name is Yuanguo Duying. In the literature and entertainment circles, there is another more famous name called Vajra Bodhi."

"So this is Vajra Bodhi!" Zhou Li let out an "ah" and said excitedly, "My father has a bunch of them, which they say can ward off evil spirits, and the price is quite expensive... Uh, maybe you were also cheated?"

He had heard from Xuan Chu before that the price of Drop|Xue Bodhi was actually inflated by unscrupulous merchants. In fact, it is very common and it is not worth the price at all.

Xuanchu: "The price of the Vajra Bodhi differs greatly depending on the quality. Generally speaking, the larger the diameter of the core, the more petals, and the clearer the lines, the higher the price. Do you have a photo of the bunch of Vajra Bodhi? Let me see."

"There are some." Zhou Li dug out the photo album.

"This string of Vajra Bodhi is very good in appearance. The particles are large and plump, with double dragon honeycomb pattern. If you read it correctly, there should be 14 petals. This price is considered a conscience price." Xuan Chu concluded after only one glance.

Zhou Li nodded his head half-understood. He had just learned a lot about literature and games. It was at the time when he was most interested that he curiously identified the Duying fruit core that Xuanchu had just opened.

"1, 2, 3... 18, 19, 20!" His voice became higher and higher, and even broke his voice at the end of the count.

Xuanchu said that the more petals of Vajra Bodhi, the better. Bodhi seeds with 5 to 8 petals are relatively common on the market, and the higher the number, the rarer it is. Those with more than 18 petals can be said to be priceless in the market, and they are hard to come by. treasure.

"This..." Zhou Li tremblingly held the bodhi seed, he didn't know what to say.

Xuan Chu calmly picked up another round fruit, Duying fruit, and skilfully peeled off the flesh, revealing the plump core with clearly visible lines.

Zhou Li's breath stagnates—it's another 20-petal Vajra Bodhi seed!

Xuanchu brought a total of 18 Duying round fruits, each with 20 petals.

Zhou Li had developed from initial shock to numbness, he felt that he might be having an absurd dream.

He stretched out his hand and twisted his thigh hard, and the sharp pain woke him up instantly.

Then, even more overwhelmed.

Xuanchu gathered 18 vajra bodhi seeds, handed them to Zhou Li, and said with a smile, "Put them away, maybe they can be used in the fashion week."

Zhou Li's pupils contracted heavily, and he almost didn't jump up: "You mean to use these bodhi seeds as accessories for clothing?"

"Otherwise?" Xuan Chu didn't understand why his reaction was so strong, and said inexplicably, "Didn't we agree that the 'harvest season' will use fruit pits as accessories."

"No, no, no, it's too expensive to use this as an accessory." Zhou Li shook his head like a rattle.

Xuan Chuyun smiled lightly, and said calmly: "Don't be nervous, it's nothing, you can use it boldly, it's not enough for me."

Zhou Li looked at Xuan Chu with strange eyes, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

As if hearing his inner voice, Xuan Chu said, "Don't worry, I'm not crazy, and I'm not joking."

Zhou Li could hear the seriousness in his tone, but because of this, he found it even more unbelievable.

"Do you know how much these Vajra Bodhi seeds can be sold for?" he asked cautiously.

Xuan Chu nodded, and quoted a number: "At least this price."

Zhou Li stared: "Since you know, are you still willing to give it to me?"

"Who said I gave it to you for nothing?" Xuan Chu raised his eyebrows.

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

Xuan Chu: "'Harvest Season' also has my investment, and I do this to reap greater profits."

Zhou Li: "Greater profit?"

The corner of Xuanchu's mouth curled up slightly, and asked him: "What kind of clothing do you think can match such accessories?"

"Or let me put it this way, when you see someone wearing expensive jewelry, what do you think the clothes should cost?"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

"I see." Zhou Li suddenly realized, "You mean, on the surface, accessories are used to set off the clothing. But at the same time, these accessories can also increase the price of clothing in turn."

"That's right." Xuan Chu snapped his fingers, "Although it is said that value determines the price, the price is not determined solely by the value. There is a saying that a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle. The same product, placed in a high-end store and Can a small street store sell it at the same price? Of course not."

Zhou Li opened his mouth and held back a sentence after a while: "Xuan Chu, you are born to do business."

Xuan Chu waved his hand and said humbly, "No, I'm still learning."

"..."

Zhou Li thought to himself, if he learns this well, he won't be able to go to heaven?

The author has something to say:

Xuan Chu: Talking nonsense, going to heaven is obviously easier than doing business!
