Chapter Twenty-Nine: Another Family

"Can I taste one?" Zhuo Gongmin picked up a life fruit and asked Li Xi.

"Taste it. Li Xi said: "However, you have to be careful, if you taste bitter fruit or stinky fruit, don't be surprised." Wait a while, and the bitterness will come. ”

"And bitter fruits and stinky fruits?" Zhuo Gongmin was stunned when he heard this, and the movements in his hands also stopped.

"Otherwise, how can it be called the fruit of life?" Li Xi took it for granted, "There are all kinds of flavors in life, sweet and sour, bitter, spicy and salty, and every taste can be tasted from it." ”

Zhuo Gongmin stared at Li Xi, his expression a little hesitant, "This ...... Boss Li, are you sure that the bitter fruit is not because it is not ripe, and the stinky fruit is not because it is bad?"

"I'm sure. Li Xi is very sure, "That is the original taste of life." ”

Zhuo Gongmin let out an 'oh', took the fruit in his hand and looked at it carefully, then looked at the fruit in Li Xi's hand, and said suspiciously: "These fruits all look the same, how to distinguish which is bitter fruit and which is stinky fruit?"

"You can't tell it, you only know it after you taste it. Li Xi shook his head and said.

"Oh!" Zhuo Gongmin's expression was obviously a little disappointed, "If you can't tell the difference, I'm afraid it's not easy to do." Letting customers taste bitter fruit or stinky fruit will be very troublesome for our hotel. ”

"How is it possible?" Li Xi said with a smile: "This fruit is very special, bitter fruit and stinky fruit, that is, bitter or stinky at the beginning, after bitterness or stinkiness, it will turn into sweet or fragrant." It's a feeling that everyone who tastes it will never forget. ”

"And this kind of thing?" said Zhuo Gongmin.

"You'll know when you taste it. Li Xi nodded.

"Then I'll try. Zhuo Gongmin was skeptical, and brought the fruit to his mouth, perhaps worried that the fruit was stinky or bitter, and took a small bite.

"How do you feel?" Li Xi asked as soon as he saw the other party bite off.

"It's so sour!" Zhuo Gongmin's face was deformed by sourness.

"It's sour at first, and after a while, when the sourness is over, it's better. ”

Li Xi heard that it was a sour fruit, so he hurriedly reminded him.

This kind of sour fruit is similar to bitter fruit and stinky fruit, but it is not good when you first taste it, and after waiting for a while, when the sour taste has passed, it will be different immediately.

It can be said that this kind of fruit, which does not taste good at first, is better than the kind of fruit that tastes good at first. At least that's what Li Xi feels.

"My teeth seem to be sore. Zhuo Gongmin was obviously impatient, and grinned sourly. I touched my teeth, felt my teeth numb, and said, "No, my teeth are numb, Boss Li, I'm sorry, I want to rinse my mouth." ”

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and poured a sip of water directly into the mineral water bottle.

"Hey!" Li Xi wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Zhuo Gongmin rinsed his mouth and cleaned the taste in his mouth before saying, "Boss Li, this fruit is too sour, right?"

"......" Li Xi suddenly didn't know what to say, this Zhuo Gongmin's temperament seemed to be a little too anxious.

Zhuo Gongmin glanced at Li Xi's expression, and saw that the other party didn't seem to be very happy, so he smiled reluctantly and said, "Boss Li just said that after the sourness is over, it will get better." I'm not a sour person, so I couldn't hold back, sorry!"

"Nothing. Li Xi was a little excited. It is difficult for people without a certain amount of experience to taste the true taste of life, and this Zhuo Gongmin is obviously like this.

"Let's let, let's let. "A balding man in his fifties squeezed in from the outside.

"Hey, don't cut the line. "Customers who buy things can't help but scream when they see someone squeezing in.

Someone's face was annoyed, "That person, you are not allowed to cut the line, buy fruit and line up at the end." ”

Many people shouted at the same time, all accusing the bald man, and some people yelled angrily: "Do you want a little quality, don't you see that we are all queuing?"

When the man saw that the momentum was wrong, he hurriedly said, "I don't buy fruit, I look for the owner who sells fruit." ”

When Li Yi heard this, he turned his head and glanced at the bald man, and found that it was a stranger and he didn't know him. This person's clothes look quite exquisite, and with Li Xi's eyesight, he can easily see that the material is good, not like the kind that can be bought everywhere in the market.

When Zhuo Gongmin saw this person, he frowned inadvertently.

"Boss, may I ask your surname?" The bald man walked to Li Xi's stall and looked at Li Xi with a smile on his face.

"Li, what's the matter with you?" asked Li Xi.

"Haha!" the bald man's face was bold, and he laughed, "It turned out to be Little Brother Li, fortunately." He stretched out his hand affectionately and wanted to pat Li Xi's shoulder.

"Who are you?" Li Xi was a little uncomfortable by this person's familiarity, and shrank back slightly.

The bald man's face was full of smiles, "The contemptible person is Liu Zuohai of Tianyu Hotel, this is my business card, little brother Li, take a look." ”

As he spoke, he took out a business card, held it in both hands, and handed it to Li Xi.

Li Xi of Tianyu Hotel has also heard that it is another five-star hotel in the city, and its grade is not inferior to the Shanhai Hotel where Zhuo Gongmin is located.

"Oh!" Li Xi took the business card, took a closer look, and found that it was printed with the words 'Tianyu Hotel', 'Chairman', and 'Liu Zuohai'.

Shanhai Hotel is the purchasing manager who comes to talk to him about things, and this Tianyu Hotel is the boss who comes over in person.

returned the business card to Liu Zuohai and asked, "What are you looking for me?"

"That's right. Liu Zuohai took back his business card, smiled, and said straight to the point: "Little brother, I have tasted your delicious fruit, it is really delicious." If you enter the hotel, it will definitely become a famous dish. Do you want to cooperate and supply us Tianyu?"

This statement was expected by Li Xi, but this person spoke much more directly than Zhuo Gongmin. Subconsciously glanced at Zhuo Gongmin.

Zhuo Gongmin obviously knew Liu Zuohai, and suddenly spoke, "Boss Liu, this approach is not authentic, right?"

"Are you ......" Liu Zuohai stared at Zhuo Gongmin for a few moments, feeling that the other party was familiar, but he didn't remember the name, he thought for a while, and remembered, "Aren't you the purchasing manager of Shanhai?"

"It's an honor for Boss Liu to remember me. Table Gongmin didn't smile, his tone changed, and he continued: "However, Boss Liu, it doesn't seem like it's right to insert a bar at this time?"

"That's what you say, are you Shanhai also planning to order goods from this little brother Li?" Liu Zuohai stretched out his hand and touched his bald head, and said nowhere else.

"I'm sorry, before Boss Liu rushed over, it was already negotiated. Zhuo Gongmin's tone was full of dissatisfaction.

"Haha! What's that?" Liu Zuohai didn't mean anything about Zhuo Gongmin's tone, touched his bald head, and said with a smile: "Everyone does business, everyone makes money, if you want to do it in the mountains and seas, we are not allowed to do it in Tianyu? ”
