My fruit shop became popular in the world

The night is getting darker and the lights are on.

On Student Street, I don’t know which store is broadcasting local news:

"Recently, there have been many incidents of vicious dogs hurting people in our city, and many citizens have been injured. Citizens and friends are asked to pay attention to safety when traveling. If you find the whereabouts of hurting dogs, call the report hotline in time..."

Passers-by who heard the news couldn't help but stop, discussing the recent frequent incidents of stray dogs hurting people.

"Someone in our community was bitten, the wound was blood|drenched, and he was a big man about 1.8 meters high, it was terrible."

"My niece's elementary school issued a notice asking parents to pick up and drop off their children to and from school as much as possible, for fear of accidents on the way."

The uproar of vicious dog wounding incidents made people panic, and even the bustling student street was much more depressed than before.

Seeing that there were not many customers left in the store, Xuan Chu simply announced to close early.

"Everyone, pay attention to safety on the road, and try to walk together as much as possible." Xuan Chu said seriously, "In case something happens, call the police or call me immediately."

"Boss, there's no need to be so nervous, right?" Sun Lang disapproved, raised his arms to show off his muscles, "No matter how fierce a dog is, it's afraid of people. If I really encounter a stray dog, I'll beat it away."

"Don't take it lightly," Xuan Chu shook his head disapprovingly, reminding gently, "Those are not ordinary dogs."

He didn't say a word, those so-called stray dogs that hurt people are probably demons.

It is not an isolated case of a dog attacking a female high school student. Since then, incidents of "vicious dogs" hurting people have occurred frequently.

Something is very wrong.

Xuanchu has reported this situation to the Heavenly Court, but it is still under investigation.

"Got it." Sun Lang smiled and waved to him, "See you tomorrow, boss."

"Remember to go where there are as many people as possible." Xuan Chu emphasized behind him.

After leaving the fruit shop, a gust of wind blew in his face, and Sun Lang sneezed unexpectedly.

"The weather is really weird recently. The temperature is so high during the day, and the wind blows at night." He said to himself, and hurriedly wrapped his coat tightly.

His family lived in the old city, and there were many winding alleys. He was greedy for convenience, so he turned from the main road into a small alley.

The weather is not very good tonight, the moon is covered by dark clouds, the wind is howling, the remote path, and the street lamps give off a bleak light.

This path is what Sun Lang is used to walking on a daily basis. It is reasonable to say that he should be familiar with everything around him, but for some reason, as he walks, he always has a strange feeling, as if something is following him behind him.

wheeeeeeeeeeeee...

In the quiet night, a rhythmic light sound suddenly sounded.

He stopped abruptly and turned around abruptly.

There is nothing behind.

It should be just the wind, right?

He comforted himself, and was about to turn around and continue on his way, when a mournful howl reached his ears.

In the next second, his eyes blurred, he only knew that something was rushing towards him, and at the same time, he smelled a stench.

He was shocked, subconsciously backed away, but his feet were caught by the discarded cans, and he fell backwards uncontrollably. The back of his head touched the ground, making a muffled sound.

One second before he lost consciousness, he saw an animal that looked like a dog and a wolf rushing towards him. Under the dim streetlight, two rows of sharp fangs reflected a cold light...

***

"Help!" Sun Lang opened his eyes suddenly, the monster in his dream was replaced by bright and warm lights, and he touched his face with lingering fear.

Was it just a nightmare?

He was wondering, when he heard a familiar voice in his ear: "Great, you finally woke up."

"Boss, why are you at my house?" He stared blankly at the leader's face, confused.

Xuan Chu laughed and said, "Look clearly, is this your home?"

Sun Lang looked around in a daze.

Neat shelves, beautiful jam walls, and the pleasant fragrance of fruit floating in the air...everything is so familiar.

But he clearly remembered that when he came home from get off work, why did he appear in the fruit shop again?

Xuan Chu answered his questions: "On your way home from get off work, you ran into a stray dog ​​and fell over it. It happened that Wu Lan passed by, drove the dog away, and brought you back by the way."

Sun Lang had no doubts about his words.

Wu Lan had been to the fruit shop to do a physical examination for Changxiao before, and Sun Lang recognized him as a friend of the boss, and seemed to be a veterinarian.

It's reasonable for a veterinarian to subdue a stray dog, isn't it?

"Boss, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have disobeyed you and cut corners to save trouble." Sun Lang was both grateful and ashamed.

He originally thought that with his physique, even if he encountered a stray dog, he could easily deal with it. He was too arrogant. Fortunately, he met Jiufeng, otherwise he would definitely be injured.

The thought of the sharp fangs of the vicious dog made his scalp numb and he couldn't help shivering.

"Come, drink some jujube tea to calm yourself." Xuan Chu handed over the water glass.

Jujube has the effect of calming the nerves. Hold the hot tea in your hand, and transmit a trace of reassuring warmth through the palm.

"I'll give you a day off tomorrow, and have a good rest at home." As a leader, Xuan Chu had nothing to say to his subordinates, and with a wave of his hand, he approved Sun Lang's paid leave.

Sun Lang was really scared tonight, and he didn't dare to walk alone at night anymore, so he just took a taxi and went home.

After he left, the smile on Xuan Chu's face disappeared little by little.

"Fellow Daoist Wulan, have you come to the human world in person, is there any progress?" He asked hastily.

After catching the dog last time, he tried to interrogate the origin of the dog.But it was soon discovered that this monster lost all reason and could not ask anything useful at all.

In desperation, he had no choice but to send it to the Department of Animals in the Heavenly Court, thinking that if he specialized in surgery, maybe knowledgeable medical officers like Wu Lan could restore it to sanity.

Wu Lan shook her head, nodded again, and said seriously: "The dog's sanity still hasn't returned to normal, but we found some interesting things in it."

"We found some kind of strange food residue in its stomach, and it was this food that caused it to go into a mad state of attacking anyone at sight."

Xuan Chu was taken aback, and muttered to himself: "This description sounds so familiar..."

Wu Lan reminded: "Xianxiang company's fruit base, remember? This base is actually controlled by the demon clan, and the other party has been secretly cultivating fruits containing demon power in order to intensify the demonization of the demon clan or ordinary animals. "

"Could it be that the dog escaped from the fruit base?" Xuan Chu was taken aback.

"Eight|nine is inseparable from ten." Wu Lan nodded and added, "Not only that, I suspect that the 'stray dogs' that attacked the human race recently are also related to the fruit base. We found out earlier that the base forcibly transformed monsters through fruits. clan, but where the mutated monster clan went is still unknown, and it is very likely that they are still in the human world, and they happen to be hiding near Tianhai City."

Xuanchu suddenly remembered something: A few months ago, senior brother Jin Zha suddenly appeared in the fruit shop. It is said that it was because the Yuyao Institute suddenly detected the aura of a big demon flashing in the human world, and suspected that there were powerful demons trespassing on people without permission. That's why he was invited to personally investigate the matter.

Will there be a connection between the two?

***

Wu Lan's trip was ordered by the Heavenly Court to capture the evil monsters who made trouble. After completing the task, she left in a hurry, saying that she wanted to dig deeper into the connection between these monster clans and the fruit base to see if she could find relevant clues.

Tianhai City has returned to its former calm, at least on the surface.

The incident of stray dogs hurting people was quickly replaced by a new hotspot. People didn't know that they were only one step away from danger.

The temperature is getting cooler, and the business of Wonderful Fruit Shop is booming.

It's the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

Christmas is coming, and it is a big day for Huaxia's fruit shop——

I don't know when it started, it has become a tradition of this foreign festival to give each other "Safe Fruit" on Christmas Eve.

The so-called Ping An fruit is actually an apple. This kind of fruit, which can be seen everywhere throughout the year, is worth twice as much on this day under the ingenious marketing of the merchants.

Well, it can be seen that homophonic stems do not necessarily deduct points.

The secret to turning an apple into a Ping An fruit lies in the exquisite packaging.Currently, the common packages of Ping An fruit on the market include transparent cellophane, hand-held gift boxes, cloth bags, etc., accompanied by decorations such as ribbons, wind chimes and even small light bulbs, which are full of Christmas atmosphere.

"It's not an apple, it's clearly a gift box." Xuan Chu, who was educated by the employees about packaging knowledge, couldn't help feeling, "You guys really know how to play."

No matter how ordinary an apple is, after such a package, its net worth will be multiplied by at least five or six times.

That being said, of course he would not miss this opportunity to make money. Not to mention the gift boxes and accessories he prepared in advance, he also specially cultivated a batch of printed apples.

"Wow!" The moment they saw the real thing, the exclamation of all the shop staff could knock the roof off.

I saw the plump and round big red apples printed with lighter-colored words, such as "Merry Christmas" and "Safe Years", and other blessings. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it had been processed by PS.

"How did you do this?" Xiao Qin carefully picked up an apple and looked at it over and over again, "It's so natural, just like a natural one."

Xuan Chu explained with a smile: "It's actually very simple. The color of an apple is related to the sunlight. As long as the opaque font is pasted on the surface of the apple before it matures, and the font is removed after it matures and turns red, the part that has not been exposed to sunlight It will take on its original color."

"With these words, the price of apples will definitely be higher." Sun Lang praised, "Combined with the packaging, it is invincible!"

Sure enough, when these high-value "Safe Fruits" hit the market, they will soon sell like crazy.Although the three-digit price is not cheap, there are still many people scrambling to buy it, and it has been out of stock several times.

Looking at the balance in the bank card, Xuan Chu was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth. He wished he could celebrate the festival every day. Selling apples today and bananas tomorrow, you reap happiness, I reap money, everyone is happy.

"Don't dream." Xiao Changxiao let out a "heh", breaking his fantasy, "If it's a festival every day, then what's so rare about the festival."

Xuan Chu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "It makes sense, if it's really a festival, no one would be willing to spend money on buying gifts, but I've made a mess of it. Daojun, you think so clearly."

Xiao Changxiao was caught off guard by a compliment, and his cheeks felt hot unconsciously.

"That, of course, I have always been wise and powerful." He turned his face away unnaturally, and stammered.

"Then, the wise and powerful Daoist Lord, can you give me a little favor by using your abilities?" Xuan Chu asked.

Xiao Changxiao raised his chin and said proudly: "For the sake of begging me, it is not impossible to help you once."

Xuan Chu carried a bunch of packing boxes, and said with a smile, "I'll leave the packaging to you, Taoist Lord."

Xiao Changxiao: "...?"

***

After a busy and fulfilling Christmas, another more lively festival, New Year's Day, will be ushered in soon.

There is a tradition in Tianhai City. Every year around New Year's Day, a week-long New Year's Eve series of activities will be held. At that time, almost all the citizens of the city will participate, and even people from surrounding cities will come here. It has become a signboard of Tianhai City.

Due to the busy days before Christmas, the clerks are working overtime every day to pack, so Xuanchu promised to close early on New Year's Eve, and the time in the evening is arranged by everyone.

Together, the big guys planned to go to Liuhe Square to visit the New Year's Day Night Market that night, and watch the open-air party held there by the way, celebrating the New Year together.

Everyone invited Xuanchu to participate, and he was also willing to build up relationships with the shop assistants, so he readily agreed.

After thinking about it, he went to ask Xiao Changxiao for his opinion. After all, he was really worried about letting Daojun stay alone.

The latter was still brooding over his routine, folded his arms around his chest, and hummed, "I'm very busy."

"..." Xuan Chu glanced at the game interface on his phone screen, twitched the corners of his mouth, and forced a smile, "The party is very lively, I heard there will be a fireworks show at the end."

Xiao Changxiao squinted at him: "But the game official has issued an announcement that during the New Year's Day, there will be double gold coins for customs clearance——"

"I'll help you recharge your gold coins, double your recharge." Xuan Chu hurriedly said.

"Five times." Xiao Changxiao opened his palm.

Xuanchu: "...Three times, no more."

Xiao Changxiao raised his eyebrows, and curled up a finger: "Four times, if you don't agree, pull it down."

"……make a deal."

Seeing the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Xuan Chu suddenly came back to his senses: Wait a minute, could he have been tricked by this brat?

"Mr. Dao, you—"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Xiao Changxiao waving his hand: "Don't stand here, you will block my signal."

"..."

When Xuan Chu walked away awkwardly, Xiao Changxiao, who seemed to be concentrating on the phone screen, quietly raised his eyes, a sly light flashed in his dark eyes.

***

On the last day of the old year, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Miracle Fruit Store closed for business. The owner Xuan Chu led the staff, took two cars, and drove to Liuhe Square, where the New Year's Eve party was held.

Nearly 1 kilometer away from the square, the road was already blocked by traffic, so everyone simply got out of the car and walked.

"It's too many people." This was the first time for Yonago to participate in a New Year's Day event, and he was taken aback by the huge crowd in front of him.

"It's nothing, there will be more people later." Zhang Chao is very experienced, and reminded, "Everyone pay attention to each other, so as not to get separated."

Xuanchu subconsciously glanced at Xiao Changxiao.

"...What are you looking at me for?" The latter looked indifferent.

Xuan Chu couldn't say clearly that he was afraid that he would cause trouble by running around, so he stretched out his hand.

"Why?" Xiao Changxiao didn't know why.

Xuan Chu's tone was sincere: "It's done, what if there is something you want to buy and you get separated and no one pays for it?"

In fact, the real reason was that he was afraid that he would cause trouble by running around.

Xiao Changxiao made sense after thinking about it, so he took the initiative to hold his hand: "Let's drive."

The setting sun was falling towards the horizon little by little, and just as Zhang Chao said, there were more and more people in the square.The shop assistants were dispersed by the crowd at some point, but fortunately Xuan Chu held Xiao Changxiao's hand tightly, and the two of them were pushed and shoved forward by the crowd.

There are all kinds of small stalls on the side of the road, most of which sell all kinds of gadgets, and there are endless shouts, so it is very lively.

Xiao Changxiao has been sleeping for so many years, he has never seen such a formation before, although he pretends to be calm on the face, he can't help but glance at the stall from the corner of his eye.

however……

"Little friend, come and have a look." A mask vendor greeted him enthusiastically, "What kind of mask do you like? Ultraman? Pleasant Goat? Monkey King?"

Xiao Changxiao froze with an unbelievable expression.

What he thought to be a concealed behavior was actually seen through by a mere human race?

Xuan Chu felt funny when he saw it, and pretended not to know anything, took the initiative to step forward, pointed at one of the vicious masks, and changed the subject: "What kind of mask is this? A little monster?"

He was thinking, since there are Ultramans, is it not surprising that there are little monsters?

Seeing that he was interested, the peddler replied even more enthusiastically: "Have you heard of the four great beasts? This is the Qilin."

Xiao Changxiao: "?!!"

Xuan Chu was also taken aback, subconsciously glanced at the mask, his eyes were fierce, his fangs were sharp, it was really not very beautiful.

"Are you sure this is Qilin?" He asked hesitantly.

"Yes, it's a unicorn." The peddler nodded vigorously, pointed at the mask and said loudly, "Look at these sharp horns, these eyes, and these fangs, is it fierce? Is it fierce? Is it a beast?"

Xuan Chu said that it is hard to say whether it will be fierce or not, but he feels that someone is going to get mad.

He quickly pressed Xiao Changxiao's shoulder to smooth things over: "Ah, I understand what you mean. Qilin can ward off evil spirits, and those who ward off evil spirits are more ferocious, otherwise how can they restrain evil things?"

He shook his voice: "What is this called? This is called righteousness!"

When Xiao Changxiao heard the words, the anger between his brows gradually eased, he hummed, and muttered, "It's not too bad."

Xuan Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and in order to completely divert his attention, he pointed to a red and white half-face mask on the booth and asked, "What mask is that?"

Vendor: "Oh, this is a fox mask. It's selling very well."

Xiao Changxiao was shocked: "Why is the fox mask so beautiful?"

Compared with the ferocious unicorn mask, the fox mask is not 01:30 a little bit more delicate.The half-covered structure uses Danhong to outline complex and mysterious patterns on the plain white mask.The most attractive thing is the pair of eyes, the end of the eyes is slightly raised, showing the meaning of romance.

"Have you ever heard of a vixen? Do you know Daji, the fox with nine tails, the king of foxes! How beautiful she is when she becomes a human, otherwise, would the king of Shang and Zhou be so fascinated?" The peddler was confident road.

Xuan Chu: "..." Ganqing, is this mask still painted in a realistic style?

Xiao Changxiao said "Oh" meaningfully, and his eyes flew towards him with a smile that was not a smile, looking at him burningly, as if he wanted to study and study, what is more beautiful about him.

Xuan Chu only said that his face was hot, but fortunately it was night and the lights were dim, so he couldn't see his uncomfortable expression carefully.

He cleared his throat and changed the subject: "The party is about to start, let's go."

But Xiao Changxiao waved his hand: "No hurry, I want these two masks."

Then he squinted at Xuan Chu again, and hooked his fingers: "Pay, beauty."

Xuan Chu: "..."

The author has something to say:

Xuan Chu: childish ghost

Chang Xiao: Hee
