My fruit shop became popular in the world

"...Okay, I see, thank you."

Xuan Chu ended the call in a daze, raised his eyes, and found that Chang Xiao was standing opposite him leaning against the wall with his arms folded, and he had been there for some time.

"What about Jiufeng?" The man raised his eyebrows.

Xuan Chu lowered his eyes, staring at his own toes, and finally opened his mouth after a while: "It's been confirmed, my senior brother...should be possessed by Qiongqi. Preliminary speculation, it was during the time when he found us. He...was He was recruited to save us."

The lost figure turned into a touch of complexity in Chang Xiao's eyes. He hesitated, took a step forward, slowly raised his arms, and stopped in mid-air, not daring to fall down.

Unexpectedly, Xuan Chu suddenly raised his head at this moment, taking in all his movements.

Chang Xiao: "..."

Xuan Chu opened his eyes wide: "Mr. Dao, you—"

Chang Xiao realized that his arm was still stupidly lying in the air, and hurriedly withdrew it: "Don't think about it, I just want to stretch."

Xuan Chu stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly made a "puchi", took the initiative to take half a step forward, took his hand, and rubbed against his head.

Chang Xiao's pupils trembled: "!!!"

"Thank you Daojun for your comfort, I feel much better now." Xuan Chu smiled at him.

It took a long time for Chang Xiao to find his voice: "...You're welcome."

A trace of strangeness flashed in Xuan Chu's eyes: "Can the Taoist Lord let go?"

Chang Xiao was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he was holding Xuan Chu's arm with his backhand,

He suddenly let go as if he was electrocuted, took a deep breath, and his eyes wandered: "Sorry."

From his red-stained ears, Xuan Chu belatedly tasted a distinctive ambiguity at this time, he was stunned, and a blush slowly floated on his cheeks.

"I--"

"My lord—"

The two spoke at the same time, and said in unison: "You speak first."

A few seconds later, Chang Xiao took a deep breath and looked away: "What is Heaven's plan for Jiufeng?"

When Jiufeng was mentioned, the charming atmosphere that had just been brewing was instantly shattered.

Xuan Chu's expression was complicated: "The Heavenly Court intends to set up an ambush on Mount Putuo, in the name of master, to call senior brother... Qiongqi back to the master, and wait for him to throw himself into the trap."

On the one hand, he very much hopes to take down Qiongqi in one fell swoop as soon as possible.On the other hand, he was worried whether this matter would cause harm to Jiufeng's original body.

But this matter is far beyond his control, all he can do now is wait.

Heavenly Court didn't make him wait too long.

Soon, he learned from the group of masters that Qiongqi, who possessed Jiufeng, was ambushed.

The good news is that Jiufeng finally got rid of Qiongqi's control.

The bad news is that Qiongqi escaped again by chance.

From Jiufeng who regained consciousness, everyone learned an important news: Qiongqi has the ability to invade other people's consciousness when they are not prepared, that's how he was tricked in the first place.

If Xuanchu hadn't discovered his anomaly in time, Qiongqi would have devoured his consciousness and completely occupied his body later, even if the saint rescued him, it would be useless.

"Qongqi is not easy to deal with. This person is extremely vengeful, so be careful that he will wait for the opportunity to retaliate." Jiufeng, who was recuperating, told Xuanchu carefully.

Xuan Chu nodded obediently: "I understand. Then senior brother, you should also take a good rest."

Xuanchu originally planned to go back to the teacher's gate to visit Jiufeng, but was interrupted by an accident——

A few days ago, he received an invitation letter from the Chinese Fruit Carving Association, inviting him to attend the upcoming fruit carving conference in Tianhai City.

The reason why Xuan Chu was invited was related to his performance in a live broadcast.

In order to continue publicity and maintain popularity, Xuanchu will occasionally start a live broadcast to interact with netizens.

His live broadcast room is very popular, not only because of his good looks, but also because his live broadcast content is full of dry goods and surprises.

For example, teach the brewing method of fruit wine hand in hand, and how to choose fresh and delicious fruits in live broadcast.

In a live broadcast, he performed fruit carving ingeniously, using only an ordinary fruit knife to carve cantaloupe into a beautiful peony flower.

From then on, news spread that he knew how to do fruit carving, and someone from the Tianhai branch of the Huaxia Fruit Carving Association tried to contact him and wanted to absorb him into the association.

He readily agreed.

After all, I am in business, and I know the importance of connections. In this kind of association, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon may encounter business opportunities at any time.

But because of his busy business, he didn't have much time to participate in activities after joining the association.This event was held locally in Tianhai, and it would be unreasonable for him not to attend.

He learned that this fruit carving conference was specially held to welcome Daniel, a national treasure fruit carving master from Siam.The master was invited by the Huaxia Fruit Sculpture Association to visit and inspect, and Tianhai City was his first stop.

He had never heard of Daniel, but looking at the discussions in the association group, it seemed that everyone was very excited about his arrival.

In order not to make himself appear too ignorant, he opened the browser and searched, and roughly understood the situation.

Although fruit carving originated in China and has been glorious in history, it has to be admitted that Siam, which is rich in fruit, has a more advanced and refined fruit carving technology.

The name Daniel sounds ordinary, and countless browsing pages pop up when you search for it casually.But after he added the word "Guodiao" in front of the name, all the search results pointed to one person.

According to the data, Master Daniel is the leader of the fruit carving industry in Siam.At the age of 20, he won the gold medal in the World Fruit Carving Competition and became famous in one fell swoop.

The fruit carving school he founded has attracted students from all over the world to study. They would be so excited.

Such a famous person naturally has many works on the Internet, the most famous of which is the World Famous Architecture Series, which is to use fruits to carve famous buildings from various countries.

Xuan Chu browsed through the photos of Daniel's fruit carving works, but didn't notice a shadow over his head, until the words "what are you looking at" suddenly came from behind him.

He was startled, and quickly raised his head, unexpectedly Chang Xiao lowered his head and approached, the tip of their noses brushed lightly, both of them were taken aback.

It seemed that someone set up a fire, and the temperature in the room suddenly rose, and an unnatural blush appeared on the faces of the two of them.

"Cough." Xuanchu was the first to react, cleared his throat, his gaze was erratic, "Oh, I just want to know who that Daniel is, otherwise it would be embarrassing to ask three questions."

Chang Xiao stared at his bright red lips, his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and his voice sounded a little strange: "So that's the case...then did you find anything?"

One of the two was sitting, and the other was leaning on the wall with his arms in a half-bent posture.

Xuan Chu could clearly feel the other party's warm breath spraying on his forehead, and unnaturally turned to the side, and said: "He seems to be a very powerful fruit carving master."

Chang Xiao glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, then moved his eyes away with little interest, curled his lips, and said contemptuously: "I don't think it's very good, not even your little finger."

"You can't say that," Xuan Chu's mouth curled up unconsciously, his eyes sparkling, "As a human race, it's rare to be able to reach this level."

"Why, are you going to attend this event?" Chang Xiao asked.

Xuan Chu nodded: "Anyway, I'm also a member of the Fruit Carving Association, so it's not good to miss too many activities."

Hearing what he said, Chang Xiao immediately said: "Then I will go too."

Xuan Chu was surprised: "Didn't you despise him?"

"..." Chang Xiao clenched his left hand to his lips, and pretended to clear his throat, "It's okay to be idle, just take a look."

Xuan Chu rolled his eyes: "Okay, then I'll talk to the organizers and ask if they can add more places."

***

In order to welcome Master Daniel and his apprentices, the Chinese Fruit Carving Association specially held a banquet at the most upscale Tianhai Hotel in Tianhai City.

Xuan Chu asked for more invitation letters, and took Chang Xiao with him.

Entering the banquet hall, even the well-informed Xuan Chu was also taken aback.

As far as the eye can see, it is filled with various fruit carvings.From the blooming "flowers" in the flower baskets, to the "candlesticks" on the dining table, to the decorative "paintings" hanging on the walls, they are all carved from fruits.

"In order to welcome Master Daniel, the association has also taken great pains."

Hearing this familiar voice, Xuan Chu turned his head to look, smiled, and said hello, "Mr. Wang."

Wang Zhengfu, the founder of the high-end fruit brand "Guofu".When Miracle Fruit Store faced the scandal of counterfeit wine, it was through his relationship that it got in touch with the vineyards in Europe and obtained the key evidence to knock down the counterfeit merchants.

Later, Xuan Chu personally came to express his thanks, and the two sides became acquainted with each other as they came and went.

Xuan Chu didn't know that Wang Zhengfu was also invited to this reception banquet, and after asking, he found out that his Guofu was the supplier of this event.

Xuan Chu joked, "Why doesn't the association come to me for supply? At least I'm still a member."

Wang Zhengfu smiled: "Looking for you? I'm afraid the association will go bankrupt."

Although Guofu is taking the mid-to-high-end route, the price is still not as good as Wonderful Fruit Store.

When Wang Zhengfu said this, he didn't have any sarcasm or dissatisfaction. He had also eaten the fruit from Wonderful Fruit Shop, and he was convinced by the quality of the fruit.

If he didn't have this tolerance, Guofu wouldn't be able to develop as he is today.

The focus of fruit carving is that the shape is not the taste. It is not so much for tasting food as it is for appreciation of art.

The quality of the fruit used for carving should not be too bad, otherwise no good work can be carved.

But there is no need to be so strict. After all, fruit carving is a technique that strives for perfection. A slight mistake in carving will destroy the whole work. Therefore, the consumption of fruits is large, and the cost should be controlled as much as possible in the selection of raw materials.

Wang Zhengfu couldn't help but turn his attention to Chang Xiao who followed Xuan Chu silently.

This young man in black is really eye-catching. He is tall and has more delicate facial features than a celebrity, but his temperament seems a little cold. He hasn't spoken since just now, and he maintains a cold-eyed attitude towards everything around him.

Sensing his gaze, Xuan Chu took the initiative to introduce: "He is my cousin Lin Changxiao."

Wang Zhengfu said cheerfully, "I see, your cousins ​​really look alike."

He originally meant that these cousins ​​were all good-looking talents, but when Chang Xiao heard this, he gave him a cold look.

Wang Zhengfu: "???"

"Cousin!" Xuan Chu frowned, pulled Chang Xiao's sleeves, and reminded in a low voice, "Wang is always my friend, you have a better attitude."

Chang Xiao took a deep look at Xuan Chu.

Wang Zhengfu himself did not offend him, it was the word "cousin" that irritated him.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and heard a group of high-spirited young people carrying something, talking and laughing.

Wang Zhengfu recognized their identities from the uniform attire of the other party, and introduced to Xuanchu: "They are students of Huaxia Fruit Carving School, and they prepared most of the fruit carvings at the welcome banquet."

Xuan Chu nodded. He heard that Dean Xia of Huaxia Fruit Carving Association is also the principal of Huaxia Fruit Carving School, so it is not surprising why these students appear here.

When they got closer, they realized that what they were holding in their hands were fruit carvings of various shapes.

In the hands of the leading young man is a cruise ship carved out of watermelon. The green rind outlines the red flesh, and the green clothes (the part connecting the white part of the melon rind) are used as sails. The craftsmanship is exquisite and lifelike.

"This is your work, isn't it, Chen Ya?" Wang Zhengfu praised after being affirmed by the young people, "I don't care if your teacher values ​​you so much, the future of the Chinese fruit carving industry depends on you young people."

Hearing his praise, Chen Ya was both happy and terrified, and hurriedly said, "No, no, I'm still far from my teacher."

Seeing Xuanchu's puzzled face, Wang Zhengfu introduced: "Chen Ya is the direct disciple of President Xia of your association. Chen Ya, this is also a member of the Fruit Carving Association. Have you heard of Wonderful Fruit? He is their boss. "

In fact, before Wang Zhengfu introduced him, Chen Ya had already recognized Xuan Chu's identity.

"I know!" He said excitedly, "Boss Hu, I watched your Guodiao live broadcast, it was really amazing!"

Xuan Chu smiled slightly: "Thank you."

While speaking, they heard a commotion coming from the entrance of the banquet hall. Everyone looked curiously, and saw a group of people including President Xia of the Fruit Sculpture Association, surrounded by a few people with slightly darker complexion.

Because he specifically checked Daniel's information, Xuan Chu immediately recognized that the short, fat middle-aged man surrounded by the middle was Daniel himself.

"It seems that our guests have arrived." Wang Zhengfu said with a smile.

Xuanchu noticed, however, that just when Daniel and the others appeared, Chen Ya changed from his previous high spirits, with a very strange expression.

A group of people passed by Xuan Chu and the others, and one of them, a young man with yellow hair and freckles, suddenly turned his head and bared his teeth in their direction.

Xuan Chu keenly felt that Chen Ya's muscles tensed suddenly, and his breathing became short of breath.

His eyes swiveled between the yellow-haired man and Chen Ya with great interest, and he pretended to ask Wang Zhengfu casually, "Does Chen Ya know the Siamese?"

Wang Zhengfu thought for a while: "I heard that Chen Ya was sent to Master Daniel's school for training before."

Xuan Chu was thoughtful.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill, it was a feeling of being stared at with wet, cold and gloomy eyes.

He was startled, and looked around vigilantly. The guests around him were talking and laughing, everything seemed to be normal.

Is it a hallucination?

His eyebrows were lightly knotted.

Now that the host and guest have arrived, the dinner officially begins.

Chairman Xia is the host. He was full of joy and introduced Daniel's identity to the guests present: "Let us warmly welcome Master Daniel from Siam and his apprentices!"

The audience burst into applause, and the stage was given over to Daniel to give a speech. He spoke Siamese, but the organizer prepared real-time translation, which did not affect understanding.

For Xuanchu, the language difference in the human world is not a problem. As long as he wants, he can understand and communicate in any language fluently.

But as he listened, his eyebrows jerked up and twisted into a knot.

Most of the people present could not understand Siamese, so they all relied on translators for simultaneous interpretation.Therefore, when the national treasure-level master clearly belittled Huaxia Guodiao in his words, except for a few people who could understand Siamese, the other guests did not immediately notice the abnormality.

Then it's time for translation.The translator was stunned for a moment before he stuttered and translated Daniel's words in embarrassment.

"He used a lot more euphemistic words." Chang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and commented.

For example, "Your Huaxia fruit carvings are far inferior to our Siamese fruit carvings" was translated into "There is still a certain gap between Huaxia fruit carvings and Siamese fruit carvings."

But even after being "beautified" by the translation, the passage caused an uproar.After all, words can be euphemistic, but the contempt conveyed between words is difficult to conceal.

"That's too arrogant." Wang Zhengfu couldn't speak Siamese, so he frowned after hearing the translation.

squeak……

The sound of teeth grinding was unremarkable amidst all kinds of noise, but it was still keenly captured by Xuan Chu.

He followed the sound and saw Chen Ya staring angrily at the stage, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his eyes were almost bursting into flames.

The other students were not much better, they all had expressions of displeasure on their faces, and they discussed in a hurry.

"Too deceiving!"

"Hey, who made our fruit carvings really inferior to others?"

"Senior brother Chen Ya, you have been trained in Siam, are Siamese people so annoying?"

Seeing that the juniors and brothers were all looking at him, Chen Ya reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, and instead of answering the question directly, he just reminded them: "Don't gossip, it's a joke."

"Brother, aren't you a ninja? Can you bear this?"

"Could it be possible for them to belittle us like this?"

"Otherwise? Let's scold back? But what can we use to refute?" Pain flashed in Chen Ya's eyes, and his hands hanging on both sides of his body were tightly clenched into fists. Xuan Chu could hear his knuckles creaking.

I have learned in junior high school textbooks that objective existence does not depend on human will.Even if they don't want to admit it anymore, they have to accept the fact——

Although fruit carvings have been recorded as early as the Northern Song Dynasty in China, today, fruit carvings in Siam are world-class.In their schools, there are even special fruit carving courses, allowing children to get in touch with fruit carving from an early age.

"Instead of wasting time getting angry, it's better to put all your energy on Guodiao. If you want others to respect you, you have to prove it with your strength." Chen Ya stared numbly at a certain point in the void, and her tone couldn't hear the ups and downs.

These words seem to be speaking to the juniors, but also to myself.

The students were speechless.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. The fact is so cruel.

In order to welcome Daniel's master and apprentice, the organizer also specially invited a performance troupe to warm up the venue.At this moment, the singing and dancing on the stage was very lively, which was in stark contrast to the dullness of the students off the stage.

The dinner party was actually a social occasion, Wang Zhengfu had already left to meet other acquaintances, but Xuan Chu did not.

Because he saw that yellow hair walking towards the students just now.

"Yo yo, look who this is, isn't this the fruit carving master of Huaxia?"

Huang Mao spoke Siamese, except for Chen Ya who had been trained in Siam, no one else could understand what he was saying, but from the malicious sarcasm at the corner of his mouth and Chen Ya's sudden change Judging by the look, it is obviously not a good word.

"Mike." Chen Ya's face was gloomy.

Even the dullest person can see the discord between the two.

Yellow-haired Mike is from Siam, and Chen Yayuan is in China. The relationship between the two can only be formed by Chen Ya during his training in Siam.

Mike glanced contemptuously at the fruit carvings on the table, and finally landed on the watermelon boat.

"Oh, garbage."

His contempt completely enraged Chen Ya, who was trembling with anger, his knuckles clenched until they turned white, but at the moment when he was about to explode, a hand pressed on his shoulder first, holding him firmly in place .

"Don't be impulsive, it's not worth it." A calm voice sounded in his ear, like a basin of cold water pouring down his head, making him instantly sober.

Yes, on such an occasion, if there is any mistake, it will not end well.

He can't make mistakes.

His blood became cold, and he turned his head slowly, meeting a pair of deep eyes.

His eyes were bent, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Let me do it." He heard the owner of the eyes say.

The author has something to say:

Get out of the way, Xuan Chu is about to amplify his moves!
