My fruit shop became popular in the world

"Brother Xuanchu is back!"

In the distance, a group of snow-white hair balls cheered and rolled towards the youth who appeared out of thin air.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Xuan Chu picked up a nine-tailed fox cub that accidentally rolled over his head with a wave of his long arm, causing other fox cubs to protest again and again——

"It's not fair, I want brother Xuanchu to hug me too!"

"Cunning, Da Zhuang, you are so cunning!"

Xuan Chu had no choice but to hug the fur balls one by one, and then they were willing to calm down.

"Brother Xuanchu, today seems to be a little later than usual."

A boy who was about the same age as Xuan Chu came over with a smile, playing with a round orange-yellow fruit in his hand.

"Xiao Qi." Xuan Chu nodded and greeted him, "I was delayed by something today. Eh, this is..."

"Brother Xuanchu, did you forget? Didn't you bring back a few seeds last time, saying that they are a new fruit variety cultivated by the human race. After I took them and planted them, today they bear fruit, and this is the fruit that grows." Hu Xiaoqi He threw the fruit over.

"It's Wo Tangerine." Xuan Chu remembered, took the Wo Tangerine thrown by Hu Xiaoqi, and looked at it carefully.

Wo tangerine is not a naturally grown fruit, but a new variety bred by crossing different types of citrus.

The fruit is oblate as a whole, with smooth skin, like small orange lanterns, exuding a fresh aroma

Thin skin and thick flesh are one of the characteristics of citrus.With a simple tear, the skin separates from the pulp, revealing tightly embracing orange segments.

Xuan Chu broke off a piece and put it in his mouth. The tip of the teeth gently broke through the transparent endocarp, and the delicate flesh granules exploded, turning into a stream of sweet orange juice.

"Sweet." He nodded with satisfaction, "Not only sweet, but also juicy."

Wo tangerine is a sweet and juicy variety, but after being watered with Qingqiu spiritual energy nourishing spiritual water, it is even sweeter like honey water.

Xuan Chu asked while eating: "How much is the production this time?"

Hu Xiaoqi suppressed his smile, and sighed softly: "This citrus is a kind of fruit with a lot of fruit bearing and high yield. A tree can produce about two hundred catties of fruit. But brother, you also know that the land we can use in Qingqiu now There are too few, and even the corners of the land are used, and there are not many trees to be planted."

Xuan Chu frowned slightly, but still comforted him: "Don't worry about the human world, I will try my best to find a way to solve it. Here you bring your brothers to plant the fruit well, and there will always be a way."

Hu Xiaoqi trusted the Second Highness's words and nodded vigorously.

He suddenly thought of something, hesitated for a moment, looked at his face carefully, and asked: "Brother Xuanchu, I am planning to send Wogan to the king for a taste, how about you go too?"

Xuan Chu was silent, and after a while he forced a smile and said, "Next time, time is running out, and I have to go back to the human world sooner. If you delay for a while, you will earn less money."

Hearing what he said, Hu Xiaoqi had no choice but to give up.He looked at Xuan Chu's leaving back, hesitant to speak.

***

Back in the cubicle of the fruit shop, Xuan Chu was startled.

I saw that the originally neat cloud bed had turned into a mess, and Brown Tang, who had woken up at some point, was writhing and jumping on the bed, fighting against a piece of cloud.

Brown Sugar waved his not-so-sharp claws, trying to break through the clouds and rush out.

But the cloud automatically filled the gap as if it had self-consciousness, tightly wrapped around his limbs and torso, making him unable to move.

"Brown sugar?" As soon as he opened his mouth, the cloud dispersed.

Seeing him, the angry cat demon rushed over like a whirlwind, landed on his arms accurately, buried his face on his shoulders aggrievedly, and made a moaning sound, as if complaining why he abandoned himself go.

"Okay, okay, I'm just leaving for a while, and I don't intend to abandon you." Xuan Chu scratched his chin with two fingers.

However, Brown Tang still felt aggrieved, and still hooked his paws firmly on his front, "Aww".

Fortunately, his clothes were transformed by magic, otherwise they wouldn't be able to withstand such a toss.

Xuan Chu couldn't help it, so he could only hold the brown sugar in one hand, and rummaged through the universe in his sleeve with the other hand, trying to find something to distract this coquettish little milk cat.

Got it!

His eyes lit up, and he found a long-necked glass bottle with a thin mouth. Through the translucent bottle, he could still see what was inside.

"Aww?" Brown Tang's attention was indeed attracted by the bottle, he gripped the bottle mouth tightly with his two front paws, his entire plump cat face almost stuck to the bottle, squeezing the flesh of his cheeks puffed up.

What's inside the bottle is not a "thing" but a small person.

This person is short and thin, and his clothes are ragged. This is a poor ghost.

Before Xuan Chu took over the store, there were rumors that the store was cursed, but in fact it was not entirely false.

Cursed is fiction, but there is a poor ghost living in the store.

According to legend, the poor ghost is the son of Zhuanxu. Anyone who comes into contact with him will have bad luck, so all the merchants who set up shop here will go bankrupt one after another.

After Xuanchu decided to open a fruit shop, he searched everywhere for suitable shops, but he was not very satisfied after looking at a few of them. Either the rent was too expensive, or the location was not good.

Until he heard that there was a "cursed" shop in Student Street, he suspected that there were ghosts in it, so he came to have a look, and it was true.

He immediately found the owner of the store and said he wanted to rent the store for a long time.

As soon as the owner heard that someone wanted a long-term lease, he agreed immediately.

After all, the reputation of this shop is so bad that no one dares to rent it even if the rent is lowered again and again.Now that a warrior has finally come, of course he can't let him go.

Fearing that Xuanchu would regret it, the shop owner also offered to reduce the low rent by another [-]% if Xuanchu was willing to rent for a long time.

After signing the lease contract, Xuanchu secretly captured the poor ghost under the pretext of inspecting the store, put it in the jade bottle given to him by the Taoist Cihang, and stuffed it into his sleeve Qiankun.

If it wasn't for teasing Brown Tang this time, he would have almost forgotten the existence of this poor ghost.

Brown Sugar is very interested in the poor ghost, and forgets to be angry.He shook the body of the bottle curiously, and accidentally threw the bottle flying, and the bottle mouth was loosened. Seeing that there was a chance to escape, the poor ghost immediately crawled out with hands and feet.

Seeing this, Brown Tang slapped it down with his paw. The poor ghost couldn't dodge in time, and was stunned on the spot.

Xuanchu was about to put the poor ghost into the jade bottle again, when brown sugar hooked the poor ghost up with its claws and stuffed it into its mouth.

Swallowed, swallowed...

Xuan Chu froze in place immediately, and after a while came back to his senses, he strode forward and hugged the calm kitty: "Brown Tang, quickly open your mouth and show me!"

This poor ghost is not a good thing. Brown Tang is a little cat demon who was born not long ago. The demon power is weak, and I'm afraid it will have a bad effect on him.

Xuan Chu waited in fear for a while, but when Brown Tang didn't feel any discomfort, he gradually let go of his suspenseful heart.

He held the cat's face in both hands, rubbed and squeezed it vigorously, and said, "Brown Tang, you can't eat randomly in the future, do you understand?"

Brown Tang tilted his head: "Aww?"

***

In the past two years, Wokan has been in short supply in the fruit market.

Inver tangerines are usually on the market in spring, staggered with other citrus fruits. In addition, the juice is sweet, thin-skinned and thick-fleshed, and has a long fruit retention period. Even if it hangs on the tree for two or three months, it will not affect the flavor. Not very likely to step on thunder.

Recently, it is the season when a large number of tangerines are on the market, and it can be seen in almost every fruit shop.Due to the bumper harvest of Wokan this year, the price generally fluctuates around four yuan a catty.

Because of this, the sign of "Wo Tangerine 30 yuan/catties" hanging out of Wonderful Fruit Shop is particularly abrupt.

"30 yuan! I can buy several catties of oranges in other fruit shops!"

"The price is so outrageous, and the Price Bureau doesn't care?"

"Is the boss crazy about money? Let me see who will pay this IQ tax!"

A lot of people gathered at the entrance of the fruit shop to point and point, but no one entered the shop to buy fruit for half a day.

Xuan Chu was bored, so he moved a chair and sat in front of the shop to play with the cat.

The chubby brown sugar is holding an equally chubby tangerine, playing vigorously.He put his head on Wogan, let it roll, and happily chased after him, but he also had a lot of fun.

This scene attracted the attention of many people, and many people simply picked up their mobile phones to take pictures, including Zhang Chao.

Because of his previous experience, Zhang Chao had a good impression of Wonderful Fruit Store, and he even posted a post on the forum.

It's just that the wonderful fruit is delicious, but it's too expensive. It's okay to be extravagant once in a while, and he can't afford it even if he buys it every day.

Since when did the boss have a black cat?

Zhang Chao was sure that he hadn't seen this cat in the past few times.He thought that everyone in the world said that black cats were evil, but this cat looked so cute that he couldn't help but took out his phone to record a video.

After playing for a while, Brown Tang seemed to be a little tired. When the plump meat pad was pressed against the tangerine, the twirling round fruit suddenly stopped.

He also saw him standing upright with his forelimbs, half-embracing Wogan in his arms, stretching out his not-so-sharp claws to scratch a few times on the orange peel, and the peel fell down.

The passers-by were amazed: God, this cat actually knows how to peel fruit!

After the thin peel of Wokan is removed, the attractive orange-yellow flesh is revealed.

The brown sugar was gnawed directly into the mouth, and the "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

"Gulu Gulu." Zhang Chao rubbed his stomach, looked around embarrassedly, and found that many people were swallowing saliva quietly.

Finally, someone couldn't help shouting "I can't take it anymore", strode towards the fruit shop, and said to Xuanchu, "Boss, I want to buy half a catty of oranges!"

The man got the tangerine and couldn't wait to eat it, as if he didn't think the hatred could be too much, he commented while eating:

"Sweet, really sweet, sweeter than ordinary tangerines. But it's not the kind of drugged sweetness, but that kind of natural, like first love feeling, you understand?"

Onlookers: "..."

I really want to hit him.

After this person, people came forward to buy one after another. Everyone who tasted the taste all said that the price is a bit expensive, but the quality of the fruit is definitely worth the price.

As for the brown sugar, after eating the tangerine, he dexterously jumped onto Xuan Chu's shoulder.

Xuan Chu grabbed him, kissed him against the furry cat ears, and whispered, "Thank you."

Brown Tang rubbed his head against his palm, and let out an airy "owwow".

Zhang Chao walked over with his mobile phone in hand, and said with a smile, "Boss, boss, congratulations, your business is so good."

Xuanchu had a good impression of Zhang Chao, knowing that he also helped to promote the fruit shop on the forum, which really attracted a group of customers.

He greeted with a smile: "Do you want to buy Wokan?"

After a pause, he seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said with pain: "If it's you, you can get a [-]% discount."

"..." Zhang Chao heard from Fang Chengxing that everything in this fruit shop is good, but the little boss is a bit picky, and now he has seen it.

"Uh, let's give it a catty." Zhang Chao still couldn't resist the temptation, so he paid for it obediently.

"By the way, boss, is this your cat? It's very smart. Have you considered using it for publicity?" Zhang Chao pointed to the brown sugar lying on Xuanchu's shoulder pretending to be a fur collar, and his heart moved.

"Propaganda? You mean advertising?" Xuan Chu frowned, "But I have no money."

After coming to the human world, he also learned a lot of common sense of the human race. He knew that in order to make the business bigger and stronger, in addition to having the quality of "the wine is not afraid of deep alleys", marketing is also very important, even more important.

But the advertising fee was too expensive, and he was reluctant to part with that money.

"This is the age of self-media. Who said that advertising must cost money?" Zhang Chao peeled open a citrus, broke off a petal, and put it in his mouth. Feeling the joy of the juice bursting in his mouth, he showed an intoxicated expression .

He swallowed the sweet juice and said vaguely: "Everyone is playing short videos now, boss, you can also open a short video account, and usually shoot some cat videos on it. Your kitten is so cute and smart, I think it should be It can attract a lot of traffic.”

Zhang Chao also sincerely hoped that this fruit shop would not close down, so he actively offered suggestions.

Speaking of which, Zhang Chao turned on Douyin, and showed Xuanchu several cute pet accounts he followed: "Look, this 'Invincible Shit Shovel Officer' has two golden retrievers, one English short and one Siamese. The daily life of making cute pets is very popular, and the promotion has been relentless."

"There is also this 'cat hair allergy'. She is quite amazing, because she is allergic to cat fur and likes cats. She has a litter of hairless cats. Not to mention, there are many people who like them."

Xuan Chu's eyes were wide open. For the first time, he knew that it was possible to advertise in this way.

He downloaded and installed Douyin on his mobile phone, and under Zhang Chao's guidance, he applied for an account called "Black Cat and His Wonderful Fruit Shop".

Zhang Chao noticed that Xuanchu used "he" instead of "it", and corrected him: "Wrong, wrong, animals should use the 'it' of Baotou."

Xuan Chu didn't correct it, but just winked at him: "That's right."

Zhang Chao thought to himself, it is not uncommon for many people to treat pets as human beings nowadays, and they quickly put this matter behind them.

He will not know that in the near future, "it" will really become "he".

"Boss, why don't I send you the video I took earlier." Zhang Chao said.

"No, I'll take another shot."

Xuan Chu patted Brown Tang, and the cat seemed to know his intentions, and jumped off his shoulder.

Zhang Chao watched in shock as Xuan Chu threw a Wo Tang over, and Brown Tang jumped up, caught the Wo Tang in the air, rolled on the ground, and successfully held the fruit in his arms.

Seeing the black cat deftly scratching open the peel with the tip of its paws, and then using the pads to clean the peel, Zhang Chao couldn't help saying, "Boss, how did you train your cat?"

Xuan Chu: "Well...it probably depends on talent, right?"

Zhang Chao: "..." Okay.

After the video was uploaded, it quickly collected more than ten likes, which is very rare for a new account.

Zhang Chao enthusiastically taught Xuan Chu how to maintain an account, how to interact with fans, and how to manage the comment area.

Out of gratitude, Xuan Chu thought for a long time, finally made up his mind, and said solemnly: "Well, I'll give you another [-]% off."

Zhang Chao: "...Thank you boss."

The author has something to say:

Zhang Chao: Thank you, I was touched to the point of _(:з)∠)_

The origin of the poor ghost: "At the time of Zhuanxu's Gaoxin, a son was born in the palace, and he was not dressed. He was called a poor son in the palace. Afterwards, he died in the dark of the first month and was buried in the palace. The relative said, 'Send the poor son today'" (Chen Yuanliang. "Sui Shi Guang Ji" quotes "Wen Zong Bei Wen")
