Chapter 354
"That's right. The young woman was obviously a little disappointed, "So, that sweet fruit, isn't it not delicious at all?"
"How come?" said the woman in her thirties with a smile: "After all, it's the fruit of life, how can it not be delicious." ”
When Li Xi heard this, he completely concluded that what the other party said was the result of his own life. The number of life fruits is not large every day, and you need to make a reservation if you want to eat it, but even if you make a reservation, not everyone can eat it.
And the price of 300,000 yuan per tree is also very amazing.
Even if it is a rich man at this banquet, it costs 300,000 yuan for a meal, and it is good to eat it once in a while, but if you eat like this every day, I am afraid that everyone will feel distressed.
"You just said bitter. The young woman said.
"It's bitter. The woman in her thirties smiled again, "Bitter is bitter, it doesn't mean it's not delicious, I ate sweet fruit once, and now I think about it, I still taste the taste at that time." ”
Then the young woman came to her senses and thought for a moment, "I heard that the best fruit is bitter fruit, and I don't know how it tastes." ”
"I haven't tasted it either. The thirties shook their heads slightly, looking very regretful. A life fruit, a total of about thirty, if several people go to eat together, one person is not more than one or two. What's more, whether the fruit is bitter or sweet must be tasted to know it by yourself, and it is completely indistinguishable from the appearance.
This woman has eaten the fruit of life, but has not tasted the bitter fruit, but it is reasonable.
"It would be nice to have a taste. The young woman was looking forward to it, "The next time I go to eat, if I am lucky enough to be able to eat that bitter fruit of life, I will know what it is like." ”
"yes. The woman in her thirties took over, "Now that we eat the fruits of life, several people eat them together, and everyone thinks that whoever can eat the bitter fruits will be the luckiest." It's like eating dumplings. Eat as long as you get the coin in it. ”
"Hehe!" the young woman smiled, "It's not the same as a coin, you can put a few more coins, bitter fruit." Who knows which one is?"
Seeing the nod of the woman in her thirties, the young woman asked, "Who ate the bitter fruit of your time?"
The woman in her thirties said, "It's a guest from afar, which one is it?" I don't remember exactly. ”
The young woman nodded, and thought again, "I don't know what that bitter fruit of life tastes like." ”
Someone next to him suddenly picked up the words, it was a personable man of twenty-seven or eight, "Have you eaten it?"
The young woman replied, and their eyes fell on the man together, and asked, "Are you?"
The man introduced himself very gracefully, "My surname is Xue." Xue Ming, this is my business card. The two are ......"
He took out his business card, gave one to each of the two women, and asked the two women again.
The two women introduced themselves, the younger one was called Yang Yuzhen, and the thirties woman was called Feng Xiaolan, both of whom were celebrities in the city, and when they heard Xue Ming introduce themselves, they had a sense of surprise, and there was a sense that you were 'Xue Ming'.
Followed by. But I found Li Xi standing on the side. The young woman's Yang Yuzhen smiled at Li Xi, and Li Xi smiled in greeting.
Feng Xiaolan thought that Li Xi was suitable for Xue Ming to be with, so she asked casually, "Are you together?"
Xue Ming shook his head. "No, I don't know this one. ”
"I'm sorry. Feng Xiaolan hurriedly apologized to Li Xi, in this kind of banquet, politeness is still quite important, and recognizing the wrong identity of others is a rather rude thing after all.
"It doesn't matter. Li Xi smiled generously.
Then the three of them asked Li Xi together. Li Xi introduced himself. He had never attended such a banquet, and he did not have any fame in the upper class circles of Linshi, so much so that the three of them had heard his name for the first time.
Yang Yuzhen asked Li Xi curiously, "Mr. Li, what are you doing?"
Li Xi hesitated for a moment, "Occasionally do some research or something, and sometimes sell something to the outside." ”
Yang Yuzhen listened to what he said vaguely, but became more and more interested, and asked with a smile, "What are you reselling?" I don't know if I can use it." ”
"It doesn't have to be anything, sometimes it's fruit, sometimes it's something else. Li Xi still said vaguely.
However, when Feng Xiaolan heard that it was a fruit, she inadvertently despised it. As I said before, in such a social circle, the most respected are the aristocracy, of course, there are no aristocrats in the country, so this one can basically be ignored.
The second is to do business.
In addition to doing business, it is the turn of other industries, as for these industries, it is difficult to say who is more respected, anyway, in short, the kind of one-shot business, is rarely able to get the respect of others.
If Li Xi has a large vineyard abroad, of course, it must be abroad, because there will be no limit on the number of years, and there may be a certain status in this circle.
But in the country, there is an orchard, and that is a farmer. It has nothing to do with status or anything, but among these people, it is difficult to be taken seriously.
As for reselling fruits, in their eyes, they are just a second-class dealer, so it is even more difficult to get their attention. Fruit trading, as a rule, has little future.
Of course, Feng Xiaolan couldn't imagine that the fruit Li Xi was talking about was actually referring to the fruit of life that they were talking about just now.
Xue Ming directly ignored Li Xi, and talked to the two women, looking very personable, with a smile on his face, "I'm sorry, I heard the two of you talking about the fruits of life just now." ”
"yes. The topic was pulled back, and Yang Yuzhen said: "We are talking about the bitter fruit of life, how does it taste." Mr. Xue, have you also eaten the fruits of life?"
Xue Ming felt a little proud, "I made an appointment with my friends, and it will be my turn next week." ”
"Oh!" Yang Yuzhen's expression was immediately full of envy, "I have also made an appointment, but unfortunately it will not be until next month." I just don't know how this bitter fruit tastes. ”
"Hehe!" Xue Ming smiled and sent out an invitation, "If you two are interested, you might as well go and try it with us next week." ”
"This ...... Not so good. Yang Yuzhen was quite moved, but hesitated.
Feng Xiaolan was not polite, "Mr. Xue is kind, if we are polite, it will be too hypocritical." I don't know the time of Mr. Xue's appointment. What day it was. ”
"Just next Friday. Xue Ming smiled: "It's better to leave a contact information, and on that day, I'll contact you again." ”
The two women asked Xue Ming's mobile phone over and entered their contact information.
Until this time. Yang Yuzhen realized that she seemed to have snubbed Li Xi, and smiled apologetically at Li Xi, "Mr. Li, I don't know if you are free next month?"
This is what Xue Ming meant when he saw that he did not invite Li Xi. Of course, she herself was even more embarrassed to take the lead, and mentioned Xue Ming's invitation, so she casually politely addressed Li Xi, and took advantage of the opportunity she had made an appointment to invite Li Xi.
Even in the circle of these rich people, being able to eat it once is a thing worth celebrating. So a lot of times, everyone gets together, and if someone makes an appointment. Usually show off to friends.
It's also a glorious thing to be able to invite friends to eat with you.
"No need. Li Xi smiled: "I have eaten this fruit a few times, but it's just like that." ”
The taste of the fruit of life, if you really want to say that it is delicious, it is definitely not as good as the delicious fruit, but this kind of fruit does not exist for the sake of deliciousness.
Li Xi is here, but he deliberately wants to belittle the results of life.
"Ah!" Yang Yuzhen was taken aback when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Mr. Li." You've actually eaten it, how does that bitter fruit of life taste like?"
"Is it the taste of the bitter fruit of life? Li Xi tasted it for a while and continued: "When I first ate it, it was very bitter. But in the end, when the bitterness is exhausted, it becomes sweet, and the inside of the mouth will always feel sweet. ”
Feng Xiaolan originally despised Li Xi, but at this time, she didn't expect that the other party would really be able to tell the taste of the fruit of life. couldn't help but put away his contempt and interjected: "I've also heard people say that it really seems to be the taste you said." ”
"Bitterness comes at a good time. Yang Yuzhen said: "That's what it means, no wonder it's called the bitter fruit of life." ”
Xue Ming seemed to be beating Yang Yuzhen's idea. In fact, women at this kind of banquet, especially single women, are really easy to get started, even more so than JI women.
Once you talk a little more, talk about speculation, it's easy for something to happen.
Basically, after this kind of banquet, they end up as a couple. It's not that it's a pair when you come, it's a pair when you leave, and something is almost bound to happen.
Certain personable and attractive men are more advantageous at such banquets. What's more, not to mention, there are also some young girls who have not received invitations and have sneaked into the banquet, originally planning to come in and look for opportunities.
In addition, there are also some young talents who are specifically looking for objects at this kind of banquet. For example, before Fang Yunzhu, someone specially helped her introduce objects at this kind of banquet.
Even, the purpose of some people's banquet is to come specifically for a certain person. This kind of banquet is, at some times, also called a blind date.
As for this Yang Yuzhen, she is obviously married, but whether she is married or not, in the world of these people, it really doesn't matter very much. The atmosphere of the upper class is much more extravagant than that of ordinary people.
In the midst of extravagance, of course, there is a certain bad atmosphere.
Seeing that Yang Yuzhen was very interested in Li Xi, Xue Ming couldn't help but take the words, "How it tastes, Miss Xue will know by tasting it herself." ”
"It's so easy to taste it with your own mouth, and you can't tell which is bitter and which is sweet, and it is said that they all look the same. Yang Yuzhen looked regretful.
Xue Ming seemed to have figured out something from Yang Yuzhen's words, and said with a smile: "This Mr. Li, just said that he had eaten bitter fruits, if there was no special method, he would definitely be very lucky." ”
"yes. Feng Xiaolan reacted and took the words, "According to me, Mr. Li must be very lucky. Among the more than 30 fruits, you can just eat bitter fruits. ”
Xue Ming smiled: "That's not necessarily, maybe this Mr. Li happens to have a special method." You might be able to identify which is bitter and which is sweet. ”
As soon as Li Xi heard this, he knew that this person was deliberately embarrassing himself. Bitter fruit and sweet fruit, from the outside, who can tell the difference. But when he said this, he deliberately wanted to give himself a problem in front of Yang Yuzhen and Feng Xiaolan.
Sure enough, Yang Yuzhen had never eaten it, so she fell for Xue Ming and asked Li Xi, "Mr. Li, is it true?" Can you really tell from the appearance which is the bitter fruit and which is the sweet fruit?"
Li Xi shook his head, "How is it possible?" This Mr. Xue is joking, the appearance of the bitter fruit and the sweet fruit are exactly the same, don't say it's me, no one can tell the difference." ”
"Oh!" Yang Yuzhen's face showed obvious disappointment.
Feng Xiaolan has eaten the fruits of life, but she has a natural expression. Of course, she knew that she couldn't tell which one was which one from the outside.
"In this way, Mr. Li must have been lucky. Xue Ming took the words again.
"yes. Yang Yuzhen nodded and said, "Mr. Li's luck is really good." ”
"Not really. Li Xi shook his head lightly and denied the words of the two.
When the three of them heard this, they were all stunned.
Xue Ming smiled: "This is strange to me. Mr. Li is not lucky, nor can he tell which is the bitter fruit and which is the sweet fruit from the appearance, how did he eat the bitter fruit of life?"
Feng Xiaolan lowered her head to think, but only after thinking for a while, she shook her head.
Yang Yuzhen was also stunned, couldn't figure out what the reason was, and said to Li Xi: "Yes, Mr. Li, if you are not lucky, and you are not able to distinguish the fruits of life from the appearance, how did you eat them?"
Li Xi looked indifferent, "Hehe! I've just eaten every one." ”
When the three of them were stunned, they came back to their senses.
Xue Ming was stupid, "It turns out that Mr. Li has eaten every single one, so it's no wonder." ”
"A tree gives birth to fruit, and one person eats?" Yang Yuzhen's eyes widened and looked at Li Xi in surprise.
What surprised her was not that the fruit of life was so expensive, Li Xi was willing to spend 300,000 yuan to eat the fruit of life alone. It's that this person actually went to make an appointment alone in order to taste the fruits of life, and after the appointment arrived, he didn't even call his friends, so he went to eat alone.
This attitude of enjoying life is what really surprised her.
"Hehe!" Li Xi smiled again, "I have fewer friends. ”
"No wonder. Xue Ming underestimated softly, but his tone was a little stupid.
Li Xi ate the fruits of a tree of life alone, which made him feel that his limelight was robbed by the other party all of a sudden, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
However, Feng Xiaolan pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked Li Xi, "Mr. Li, I remember that you just said that you seemed to be reselling fruits?" )
