Chapter 294: Fruit sells like crazy
"Outside!
The young boy with the Shimen tabloid in his hand walked down the street, shaking the newspaper in his hand, "Chengjia Department Store has a new fruit, outside!
The boy's voice was heard all over the streets of the town, and everyone who was eating breakfast on the side of the road waved and took out two pennies to buy one.
They are curious about what new products Chengjia Department Store has produced, and they are looking forward to the serial story behind the newspaper, "Come on, come on, watch together, watch together!"
The people who were sitting at a table eating Yangchun noodles all came over, and several people shared a newspaper, and the Yangchun noodles in their hands dried up when they read the newspaper.
"Chengjia Department Store new fruit listing, pineapple: can not be one step to the sky, but can be a bite to try, peach: the sky is not as good as the world, the peach is not as fragrant as the fat peach......"
"Dude, what kind of poem is this?" The man who bought the newspaper read aloud what was written on the paper, and the people around him listened to it and came over curiously.
"This is not a poem, it is the fruit of Chengjia Department Store!"
"Ah, this is the fruit?" everyone was surprised, "the fruit is all used in poetry, what kind of fruit? is it delicious?"
"Want to know?" the man closed the newspaper, his eyes rolled to the bone, "Just take a look! Anyway, the things in Cheng's Department Store are not bad!"
"It sounds fresh, I don't know if the watermelon is delicious, I have to go and see it!" The person next to him quickly finished eating the Yangchun noodles in the bowl, put down the copper coin, and went towards the Cheng family department store.
"I'll go too!" The others saw that others had already started to rob, and they naturally didn't fall behind, and some didn't even eat the noodles, and went directly.
The passenger flow of Cheng's department store has already been full, and when it opens in the morning, there are many women and children waiting outside, all of whom have read the morning newspaper.
Liu Dong They also know that every time a new product is launched, the store is crowded, and they have long been used to it.
"Steward Liu, add peaches!"
It has only been less than half an hour since the door opened, and the fruit section has already shouted twice to add goods, and at this rate, I am afraid that it will be sold out at noon.
"It's coming!" Liu Gang walked with a basket on his shoulder, he squeezed through the crowd, a basket of fresh peaches rolled down the shelves, and before it was finished, the women next to him began to move.
The pineapple is covered with thorns, and it doesn't look as good as peaches and lychees, and most of the customers are just watching, and few people buy it.
Until Liu Dong arranged for someone to carry a small table to the pineapple shelf, and prepared a cutting board, a knife, and a basin of water.
"Come on, pineapple tasting begins!"
"Taste?" Hearing the tasting, housewives from both poor and rich families came one after another, "Girl, can you still try it?"
"Yes!" Wang Ning looked at the guests who came to watch with a smile, "The way to eat pineapple is quite special, let me show you." ”
She was told by Liu Dong last night that she was going to let her try it today, but last night she practiced all night, so that the other brothers and sisters in the store could eat her peeled pineapple.
Wang Ning skillfully used his hands, quickly shaved off the hard skin with a clean kitchen knife, and then changed the dagger, slowly sharpening along the lines, and a peeled pineapple appeared in front of him.
Put the pineapple on the cutting board, cut it in half first, and then put it in the water again, "This pot is water with salt, and the pineapple will be sweeter after passing the salt water like this." ”
Scooping out the two halves of the pineapple, she cut it into small pieces with her hands, and then put it on a plate for the guests to taste with bamboo skewers.
"Hmm...... It smells so good!" The first woman who dared to pick it up and try it smelled carefully, and she couldn't stand it as soon as she smelled it, "It's more fragrant than flowers!"
"Really?" The person next to her didn't believe it, and also forked a piece, she didn't smell it, and put it directly into her mouth, "Well!
With them taking the lead, the others next to them instantly became enthusiastic, grabbing the tasting items, and after a while, their voices of appreciation could be heard throughout the area.
Pineapples suddenly went from being a "dead stock" product to a bestseller.
......
Xu Weimin also ordered every issue of the newspaper, and today's newspaper was still delivered to the house before dawn, and he also specially sent a small servant to wait at the back door of Xu's house, and the newspaper was delivered to the front hall as soon as it arrived, so that they could see it when they got up in the morning.
Today's new product launch of Chengjia Department Store, they naturally received the news early in the morning, and everyone was very interested in it.
"Your Majesty, Chengjia Department Store has a new fruit on the market, and the lower officials have already sent someone to buy it back", Xu Weimin contributed the fruit he bought this morning to Nanfeng Qi as if he was asking for credit.
"Again?" Nan Fengqi noticed the word in his words, could it be that Chengjia Department Store had new fruits before?
"Yes! Cheng Family Department Store put on a fruit called watermelon last year, which is very sweet and thirst-quenching!" Xu Weimin sincerely sighed that the watermelon was delicious.
In the summer of last year, the watermelon in their Xu Mansion was never broken, and he also relied on the watermelon to drive away the summer heat.
"Oh, and such delicious fruits?" Nanfeng Qi really didn't care, when it came to fruits, there was nothing as sweet as the palace, and the wild fruits in the countryside could be as delicious!
He looked at the three plates of fruit in front of him, red, yellow, and pink, all different, "What is this?"
"Back to the emperor, this is not as good as the world in the sky, and the peach is not as good as the fresh peach with the fragrance of fat peaches, this ......" Xu Weimin was interrupted by Nanfeng Qi before he finished speaking.
"There are already peaches in this peach", but it's not as big as the peaches here!
Nanfeng Qi secretly slandered himself, but the peaches are big, and they are not necessarily sweet. He was dismissive of the peach and waited for Xu Weimin to continue.
Xu Weimin received the emperor's meaning and continued to introduce: "This dish cannot be climbed to the sky in one step, but the pineapple that can be tasted in one bite is very sweet, the emperor can try it." ”
Seeing that this pineapple was a little strange in terms of name and shape, Nanfeng Qi immediately aroused his curiosity, and he forked a piece with a bamboo skewer and put it in his mouth.
"Sweet!" is just one word, which is Nanfeng Qi's biggest praise for pineapples.
Seeing this, the princes and ministers next to them also tried one after another, "Well, it's so sweet!"
After Nanfeng Qi ate two pieces of pineapple, he put down the skewer and waited for Xu Weimin to introduce the red fruit.
But Xu Weimin didn't speak for a long time, he frowned impatiently and asked, "What is this!"
"Your Majesty, this, this ......" Xu Weimin didn't dare to say it, that poem involved the harem, he was afraid that if he said it, he would provoke the wrath of the saint!
"What this, that, say it quickly!"
"Yes!" Xu Weimin knelt on the ground in fright, "This red fruit is, it is a red dust concubine laughing, no one knows that it is a lychee from a lychee!"
Xu Weimin looked like he was out of the way, and after speaking, he lay on the ground with his head down, not daring to raise his head.
When the prince and the ministers next to him heard this, they didn't dare to speak, and the entire front hall suddenly fell silent.
