My fruit shop became popular in the world

Chapter 70 Ginkgo and Luo Han Guo

Qi Yong kept his word, sorted out the information of the shops at hand, and sent them to Xuanchu, letting him choose at will.

After a comprehensive comparison, Xuanchu took a fancy to a shop located in Taining City.

Taining City is a new first-tier Internet celebrity city with a strong development momentum in recent years. The net inflow of population is gradually increasing. According to the latest census, the city currently has a permanent population of more than 1000 million, making it a truly populous city.

More people mean business opportunities.

After a series of preparatory work such as decoration and publicity, Wonderful Fruit Store Taining Branch is finally about to open!

As the boss, Xuan Chu naturally had to go to Taining City to preside over the opening ceremony in person.Apart from Changxiao, Qi Yong who was going on a business trip to Taining was also traveling with him.

When Qi Yong heard that they were going to Taining, he warmly invited them to go there in his own car, saying that it would be more comfortable.

Xuanchu's kindness was hard to turn down, and it was hard to evade it, so he had no choice but to agree.

——Actually, if it didn’t happen, he planned to fly over quietly.

But it has to be admitted that Qi Yong's personal driver is very skilled, and he drives fast and steadily along the way, which does not affect other things in the slightest.

Xuan Chu was bored, so he took out the account book to settle the accounts.

Just as he was getting involved, his shoulders suddenly sank, and a head leaned forward unceremoniously.

"... There are outsiders around, so you should pay attention to your image anyway." Xuan Chu pushed it with his hand, but it was so heavy that he couldn't push it.

Chang Xiao, who was fighting against the mobile phone, felt that this position was particularly comfortable. He didn't have the slightest sense of being the only unicorn beast in the world, so he rubbed against it again, and said, "Don't be stingy, let me rely on you."

Xuan Chu was silent for a moment, and was about to speak again when suddenly his body leaned forward uncontrollably.

With the driver cursing, the car came to an emergency stop, and the wheels left several clear marks on the asphalt road.

Amidst the screeching brakes, Chang Xiao put most of his weight on Xuan Chu's body, so he didn't prevent such a move. His hand slipped, and the phone flew down. When he picked it up again, the big gameover on the screen mocked him mercilessly. .

"..."

Qi Yong, who was soundly asleep, suddenly woke up with a dazed face, not very clear about what was going on.

The driver rolled down the window, poked his head out, and cursed: "You're looking for death#@%¥#%"

I saw a middle-aged man in disheveled clothes standing not far in front of the car, waving his arms vigorously, rushed to the front of the car, and said out of breath, "I beg you, please save my son!"

"What's going on?" Qi Yong was still in a state of blank mind just after waking up, "Did we bump into someone?"

Xuan Chu judged the situation quickly, and calmly analyzed: "It's not that we bumped into someone, but someone wanted to bump into us."

Qi Yong frowned: "Touching porcelain?"

Xuan Chu glanced over the face of the tearful man outside the car: "I'm afraid not. Go down and have a look."

With that said, he opened the car door and got out of the car first.

Seeing him appear, the man looked like a drowning man catching a piece of driftwood. He rushed up, grabbed his arm, and begged, "My son has been poisoned, and he is dying! My phone is out of battery, and my car is running out of power." Can’t start, please take him to the hospital!”

Xuan Chu looked in the direction of his finger, and there was indeed a white car parked not far ahead.

Hearing that human life is a matter of fate, everyone dared not slack off and hurriedly followed the poor father.

A seven or eight-year-old boy was lying in the back seat of the car. His face was as pale as a piece of paper, his eyes were closed, his body curled up into a ball, he twitched from time to time, and there were traces of white foam at the corner of his mouth.

"Did he get bitten by a snake?" Qi Yong asked in shock.

"It's not a snake." Xuanchu quickly judged that the boy must have suffered from food poisoning, "It should have been something he shouldn't have eaten."

He glanced around and locked his target on a tall ginkgo tree by the side of the road.

Right now is the time for ginkgo to bear fruit, sticking to the branches, surrounded by clusters of golden-yellow smooth and round fruits.

This is ginkgo fruit, also known as ginkgo.The fruit is rich in various trace elements and vitamins, and is rich in nutrition.

But the premise is that the fruit must be cooked or made into dried fruit preserves.

Raw ginkgo contains toxins, eating it will cause symptoms such as dizziness and vomiting, and cause damage to the nerve center.

Combined with the boy's situation, Xuanchu had the answer in his mind: the child was probably poisoned by eating ginkgo fruit by mistake.

Knowing that the poisoning symptoms were caused by eating ginkgo, my father regretted it.

In the past, he had eaten dishes made of ginkgo, thinking that ginkgo, like tomatoes and water chestnuts, could be eaten raw or cooked.

This time I took my son out to play, and I was quite happy to see ginkgo fruit all over the ground. I didn't stop my son from stuffing raw ginkgo fruit into his mouth. Who would have expected such a result.

"You are too ambitious to be a father." Qi Yong was speechless.

That being said, of course they couldn't just ignore death.

Fortunately, Qi Yong's car is a seven-seater cross-country car, and there is still room for the father and son, so the group hurried to the car and rushed to the hospital.

In the car, the father held his son and wiped his tears silently.

The boy's condition was getting worse and he started to have difficulty breathing, which was distressing to watch.

Seeing this, Xuan Chu stretched out a hand, gently touched the top of the boy's head, and said to his father, "Don't worry, your son will be fine."

The father only said that he was comforting himself, moved his lips, trying to pull a smile away, but it was unsuccessful.

There are several solutions to ginkgo poisoning. The most effective way is to send gastric lavage to the hospital. If conditions do not permit, it can also be relieved by drinking a lot of water or inducing vomiting.

It happened that there was a box of mineral water in the car, and the boy’s father fed him to drink, but the boy was so uncomfortable that he couldn’t even drink the water, and retched when he drank it.

"Let me do it." Xuan Chu picked up a bottle of water, and knocked on the bottle three times with his fingers intentionally or unintentionally.

Immediately, he unscrewed the bottle cap, supported the boy's shoulders, handed the water bottle to his lips, and said softly, "Come here, brother, drinking water will not be uncomfortable."

The boy closed his eyes, his facial features were wrinkled into a ball, he opened his mouth reluctantly and asked Xuan Chu to pour water into his mouth.

Surprisingly, this time, he didn't vomit anymore and drank the whole bottle of water smoothly.

After a while, the boy's breathing calmed down, and his complexion recovered a little from before.

"Father, I still want to drink water." He held his father's hand and said weakly.

"Water, is there still water?" The father was surprised and delighted.

Xuan Chu had expected it a long time ago, and handed over the two bottles of water he had prepared.

He raised his head by chance, and his gaze met Chang Xiao unexpectedly.

The man raised his eyebrows lightly and pointed to the mineral water.

Xuan Chu blinked, and hooked the corners of his mouth.

it is more than words.

When he arrived at the hospital, the boy was sent for gastric lavage.Qi Yong still has business matters to deal with, so he leaves first.Xuan Chu and Chang Xiao stayed with the father.

From the conversation, I learned that the father took advantage of the good weather on the weekend to take his son on a field trip to the countryside.

Unexpectedly, it was so unlucky, his son was poisoned by eating raw ginkgo fruit by mistake, his mobile phone was out of battery, and even his car failed to start.In the wilderness and wilderness, it is called every day and the ground is not working. Out of helplessness, I risk my life to stop the car.

"It's a good thing I met you, otherwise I really don't know what to do? If something happens to my son, I will hate myself for the rest of my life!" The father would invite them to dinner to show his gratitude.

Xuan Chu waved his hand: "We didn't save your son because of the meal, and the meal will be avoided."

Seeing that his father insisted on expressing that he wanted to treat guests, Xuan Chu said: "Well, I opened a fruit shop in Taining City, and it will open in two days. If you really want to express your gratitude, you should help your family and friends more. Publicity and publicity. The store address is at..."

When the father heard the name, he slapped his thigh: "I know this store!"

Xuan Chu was a little surprised.

Wonderful Fruit Shop is indeed well-known, but the audience is mainly young people who like to surf the Internet. The father seems to be 40 years old, and he didn't expect to know about their shop.

"I have a friend from Tianhai, who sent me something from your store before, and the taste is very good." The man stretched out his thumb, "Don't worry, I will definitely help promote it!"

For this little episode, Xuan Chu didn't take it too seriously, until the eve of the opening, he received a call from a stranger.

"TV station? Interview?"

Knowing that the other party is actually a TV station person, and he wants to go to the fruit shop for an interview, his first reaction is, is this thing free?

When I was in Tianhai City before, Miracle Fruit Shop was interviewed by the local TV station, that is, the kindergarten charity sale, but the focus at that time was still on public welfare.

Xuan Chu had inquired about it a long time ago. Usually, if you want to be on TV, it's either a legal program, or important news, or you need to pay money.

He was even more at a loss when he learned that the interview was actually free.

Although Wonderful Fruit Store has a small reputation, it is far from being on TV.

But no matter what, of course he wouldn't push away the pie in the sky.

The next day was the opening ribbon-cutting event.

Sure enough, the TV station sent an interview team, a cameraman, a female reporter, and someone unexpected by Xuanchu.

It was the father who asked them for help halfway.

Only then did Xuan Chu realize that this father was a high-level executive of the TV station, and that's what he meant by "propagating well".

The father also brought his son. The boy seemed to be in good spirits, and he was completely different from his previous weak appearance.

My father explained: "I have learned that it takes a few days to recover after gastric lavage. Fortunately, he was alive and well within a day. Even the doctor was surprised, saying that his recovery ability is stronger than that of athletes."

Xuan Chu glanced at the little boy who was touching here and there curiously, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up: "The child has a fast metabolism."

***

Shi Qi tore up the calendar and counted down the days, and finally waited for the day when the Wonderful Fruit Store Taining branch opened.

She knew Wonderful Fruit Shop from the variety show "Fruit King". At first, she was just obsessed with the good looks of the shop owner's younger brother. Later, when the online store opened, she tried to place an order.

The fly in the ointment is that although the express delivery of the online store is fast, the cost is really expensive.Every time she placed an order, it made her feel distressed for a long time.

She was overjoyed to learn that Miracle Fruit Store will open a store in Taining.She is a native of Taining, and she can finally go to the store to buy fruit in person instead of online shopping.

On the day of the opening, she set the alarm clock very early, and she set off at dawn, just in time to bump into her father who got up early for morning exercises.

The old father was amazed by his daughter's sudden early waking behavior, and blurted out: "I didn't hear that you have the habit of sleepwalking?"

"...Dad, do you arrange your daughter like this?" Shi Qi pursed her lips and stomped her feet vigorously.

"Isn't it rare for you to wake up so early on weekends?" Father Shi chuckled.

As long as my daughter doesn't go to work, won't she sleep until noon?

Shi Qi flicked her ponytail vigorously: "I have business to do, let's go dad."

Shi Qi has done a guide on the Internet, and knows that Wonderful Fruit Store is very popular, and there are often queues, so it is best to arrive early.

When she arrived at her destination, it was still early, but there were already many customers in the shop.

Surprisingly, people from the TV station came to interview. Facing the camera, Shi Qi was excited and shy, racking her brains to use all the rainbow farts she learned while chasing stars, which amused the reporter lady on the opposite side.

Shi Qi scratched the back of her head, with a serious face: "I'm not exaggerating, as long as you taste the fruit from Wonderful Fruit Store, other fruits will become good for you! Let's put it this way, their fruit is not as delicious as it should be in the world !"

She didn't know that she had inadvertently come into contact with the truth.

After the interview, Shi Qi started a pleasant shopping trip.

The size of the fruit shop is not small, and correspondingly, the variety of fruits is also amazing. In addition to common fruits such as apples, oranges and bananas, there are many fruits that I have never seen or heard of.

Fortunately, in addition to indicating the name and price of each fruit, the store also posted a small card in front of the shelf, which introduced the efficacy of the fruit and how to eat it in detail.

On the shelf in front of Shi Qi was a fruit she had never seen before.

The shape of the fruit is round, the skin is yellow-brown uniform, and the surface is covered with fine fluff. At first glance, it looks ordinary, but it has a domineering name - Luo Han Guo, and another name, called fairy fruit.

She bent down and carefully read the information card of Luo Han Guo.

It turns out that Luo Han Guo is not only a fruit, but also a traditional Chinese medicine. It has the effects of relieving cough and reducing phlegm, clearing heat and relieving heat, moistening the intestines and laxative, and has a good therapeutic effect on pharyngitis, lung heat cough and other diseases.

The most amazing thing about Luo Han Guo is that its fruit contains a substance called mogroside, which is two to three hundred times sweeter than sucrose. It is non-toxic and zero-calorie. It is a natural sweetener and the best substitute for sucrose.Mogroside can be used instead of sucrose when making drinks and cakes, and it can also be eaten by patients with high blood sugar and diabetes.

Shi Qi couldn't help being moved.

She herself has mild chronic pharyngitis, and often feels a foreign body sensation in her throat, which is more obvious in autumn and winter, especially when she sleeps at night, she always feels that phlegm is stuck in her throat and cannot be coughed out.

This Mangosteen looks pretty good, buy it!

……

When Shi Qi came out with the purchased products, she realized that the line at the door had already reached more than ten meters away, and there were people joining the line continuously.

She couldn't help but be thankful that she got up early, otherwise she would be in the queue right now, wasting time and energy.

Under the envious eyes of everyone, she carried the shopping store like a trophy, raised her chin, and left triumphantly.

When she got home, she began to study how to eat Luo Han Guo.

According to the information found on the Internet, the most common way to eat Luo Han Guo is to drink it in water. In addition, it can also be used to make tea, soup, and porridge.

She washed and smashed the Luo Han Guo, added them to boiling water and boiled on a low heat. If there are red dates, chrysanthemums, and wolfberries, they can also be boiled together.

After ten minutes, turn off the heat and start the pot.

Luo Han Guo tea is beer-colored, and it tastes sweet enough without adding sugar. It has a faint medicinal fragrance, but it tastes much better than traditional Chinese medicine.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but after drinking a cup of Luo Han Guo tea, Shi Qi felt a lot more comfortable in her throat, and the foreign body sensation was obviously relieved.

"Qiqi, what are you cooking?" Father Shi smelled the aroma and came to the kitchen. Seeing his daughter cooking something, he leaned forward curiously, smelled the smell, and swallowed hard.

Father Shi is a diabetic and needs to control blood sugar. He can't eat many high-sugar foods, but he is also a sweet tooth. Since his illness, he has been greedy.

Shi Qi stared at him very closely in the past, but this time she took the initiative to pour him a cup of Luo Han Guo tea.

Father Shi looked at his daughter in disbelief, but he didn't dare to pick it up: "Qiqi, you're not fishing and law enforcement, are you?"

Shi Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Dad, if you are worried, forget it."

As she spoke, she pretended to take the cup away.

"Hey, don't." Father Shi hurriedly picked up the cup and took a big sip, then showed a happy expression, and said pleasantly, "Sweet!"

The diet of diabetics needs to be strictly controlled. Those foods that easily cause blood sugar to rise are on the fasting list. Father Shi seldom eats sweet ones.

But after enjoying a cup of Luo Han Guo tea, he started to worry about blood sugar again, and asked his daughter cautiously: "Qiqi, I drank such a sweet thing, is it okay? If your mother finds out, she will scold me." .”

Shi Qi has checked that the sweetness of Luo Han Guo has no obvious effect on blood sugar, as long as it is not consumed in excess.

Only then did Father Shi feel relieved, and inquired about the price again, he was startled: "So expensive?"

Shi Qi explained: "The quality of the fruit in this store is particularly good, so the price of the fruit is relatively high."

"That's too expensive." Father Shi shook his head, and suddenly felt that the Luo Han Guo tea in his hand was not that sweet anymore.

Shi Qi didn't take this matter to heart, but a few days later, when she came home from get off work, she heard her father calling her in a loud voice, "Qiqi, come here and see what I bought!"

I saw Father Shi squatting on the ground with a cardboard box in front of him.Shi Qi leaned forward to take a look, and said in astonishment, "Why are there so many Luo Han Guo?"

The box is full of Luo Han Guo, and there are dozens of them by visual inspection.

Father Shi was complacent: "I bought it with Bingxixi. The price for such a large box is about the same as the total price of the few you bought last time. Let me tell you, you must have been cheated before. It’s not that expensive. You young people don’t know how to bargain when you buy things, and those profiteers see that you are easy to bully, so they make random quotations..."

"Dad, I'll make Luo Han Guo tea for you." Shi Qi hurriedly picked up the Luo Han Guo and ran to the kitchen.

Shi Fu Erkang said, "Wait a minute, Dad hasn't finished yet."

Shi Qi raised her eyebrows: "Dad, do you still want to drink?"

Father-in-law was kind and generous: "Okay, you can go."

After 10 minutes, Shi Qi brought out two cups of dark brown liquid.

Father Shi couldn't wait to pick up a glass, raised his head and took a big gulp, then showed a strange expression.

Seeing that something was wrong, Shi Qi picked up another cup and took a sip, her facial features wrinkled.

"It smells so strange." She rushed to the bathroom to rinse her mouth. "Why is it sour and bitter? Could it be broken?"

"No way!" Father Shi boasted just now, but when he turned his head and was slapped in the face, he couldn't help but take another sip, "I think it's okay."

As soon as the words fell, he retched and almost didn't spit it out.

Shi Qi squinted: "Dad, if you can't force it, then don't force it."

Father Shi: "..."

Shi Qi searched the Internet and quickly found the reason: "Dad, the quality of Luo Han Guo on Bingxixi is not good. Look, it is said on the Internet that the skin of high-quality Luo Han Guo is shiny and fluffy, the weight is heavy, and the taste is sweet and not sour. Poor quality Luo Han Guo is just the opposite, more or less bitter, and the effect of moistening the throat is not obvious."

"Dad, you get what you pay for." Shi Qila added a long ending.

Father Shi: "..."
