Fruit Tycoon [Farming]

The second batch of picked tomatoes weighed more than six to seven hundred catties. The last few days were the period when the tomatoes were ripe. The bamboo frame was slightly bent by the weight of the red fruits. The little tomato that has become a lantern will roll to the ground with a grunt.

A big, red, sweet, sweet and crunchy tomato makes the Xu family love it. Dad Xu always stuffs a few small tomatoes in his pocket when he is working, and eats one when he is tired. It is sweet and sour. The taste sweeps away the tiredness, and you can work harder.

For the second batch of tomatoes, Xu Yi supplied all of them to Shiyue Hotel according to the contract.

He originally planned to wait until the number of small tomatoes had accumulated to a certain level before transporting them. However, after Ding Li found out, he sent a car immediately without paying any attention to the fare of hundreds of dollars. on heart.

What Xu Yi didn't know was what kind of frenzy the several thousand catties of strawberries he provided had aroused in Shiyue Hotel.

Nowadays, the rich businessmen and celebrities in the upper class of Sujin City, including the old gourmets who are not short of money from other places, always order a strawberry salad or strawberry cake when they pass by Shiyue Hotel. On the beautifully framed menu of Shiyue Hotel, the unit price of strawberries is raised to 50 yuan One, limited to ten, but even so, there was an endless stream of customers who came to order, and the thousands of catties of strawberries were sold out in a short time.

When strawberries were first on the menu, they were priced at 30 yuan each. Although the dishes at Shiyue Hotel were expensive and customers were not short of money, 30 yuan a strawberry was undoubtedly a sky-high price. The waiters in the hotel were always called by guests to ask if it was It's not that the price is wrong, or it's imported strawberries that are airfreighted from overseas.

"You read that right, the price of strawberries is indeed 30 yuan each." The waiter explained with a smile, "The strawberries sold by Shiyue are produced in Xiyun County, Xu's brand, and Xu's melons come from the same family. I wonder if you have any heard about it?"

Every time the waiter explained this, the serious expressions of the customers would be swept away immediately: "Oh, Xu's melon shop, let's try ten of them first, the taste of their melons has been around for a few months. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.”

As soon as the strawberry salad came up, customers tentatively forked a piece with a fork, put it in their mouths and chewed slowly...

"Hmm..." Before I could say my surprise, I was completely discarded by the sweet fragrance in my mouth. It was fragrant and sweet. The moment I entered it, the soft and fragrant fruit pulp turned into a refreshing juice, which lingered on the tip of my tongue. beating.

There is no need to say anything, just bury your head and eat hard.

The always insensitive arithmetic nerves are running rapidly at this moment. If 10 strawberries are split in half, there should be 20 small pieces. I ate 5 pieces, but the friend on the opposite side ate one piece more than myself. Fei Wu didn't even care about the simplest and polite greetings, she just tried her best to destroy the delicacies on the plate.

After only a few minutes, the plate became smooth and recognizable. Strawberries were clearly ordered as dessert, but when the small plate was emptied, the already full stomach felt hungry again, and the tip of the tongue was sweet and fragrant. The taste lingered for a long time, and the customers had to ask the waiter to present the menu again: "This strawberry salad, please have another serving, oh no, two servings!"

By this time, the waiter was still smiling: "Sorry, sir, the supply of strawberries is limited, and one table can only order 10."

For foodies, these words are undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, but they claim to be civilized people and are quite famous in Sujin, so it is impossible to force the waiter to do such a thing.

After paying the bill, on the way through the corridor, the sweet aroma of strawberries still seems to linger on the tip of the nose, as if the heart and lungs are soaked in sweet fragrance, and the air is also lingering with an unforgettable fragrance.

The customers walked halfway, turned around again, and asked the waiter directly if they thought they had no connections: "Do you sell strawberries alone?"

If there is a way to get on the phone with Ding Li, they have to detour through eighteen bends on the mountain road, and it took a long time to say the purpose: "Old Ding, I didn't save a portion of the melon last time, this time I have to save some of the strawberries for my brother." ? The old lady in our family loves this one."

Although Ding Li remembered that the brother’s mother passed away 30 years earlier on the phone, and the old lady in the family came out of nowhere, he still laughed when he heard the words: “These strawberries are very in short supply, and I have only For a few hundred catties, only five catties can be distributed equally to my brother, do you think so?"

Although the five catties were a little less, they couldn't even eat five in the store, so the visitor was naturally satisfied.

In one day, Ding Li received more than a dozen similar calls.

Those who ordered on the first day became repeat customers, and with word of mouth, on the second day, the guests at Shiyue Hotel were so full that they couldn’t even get out of the parking lot. It must be strawberries. After a few days, the inventory of Shiyue Hotel will not be able to carry it.

Fortunately, Little Tomato was picked up at this time, and when he was going to transport the tomatoes, another batch of strawberries happened to be ripe. Xu Yi didn't plan to sell it to Ding Li at first, but the other party's attitude on the phone was extremely low, and The other party's previous transactions were quite straightforward, so Xu Yi had to ask the other party to bring back several hundred catties of strawberries.

After the end of May, Shiyue Hotel once again ushered in the peak season. The guests came one after another. Coupled with the excellent effect of Xu's Melon, the designated hotel for foreign businessmen in Sujin City in the second half of the year was simply replaced by Shiyue. .

Ding Li was so busy that he didn't even touch the ground. Even so, he still sent a wechat message to care about Xu Yi from time to time in his busy schedule, insinuating whether the other party was short of money.

Although he is long-sleeved and good at dancing, one of the people who come to Shiyue eats is bigger than the other, and he has to give it when the other party asks for it, but the stock is indeed almost gone!

Shiyue's business has never been so hot since it opened. For Ding Li, this is both sweetness and a sweet burden.

……

Weibo.

One night, an Internet celebrity with an awl face and a snake waist posted a new Weibo.

There was a plate of strawberry salad on the clean and new plate. The knife and fork were placed on one side, shining with a cold luster. The strawberries were arranged in the shape of flowers, which was no different from the usual style of Internet celebrities.

This is a part of the daily life of Internet celebrities. Even though the location is located in the Shiyue Hotel in Sujin City, it did not attract much attention. It was not until two o'clock in the middle of the night that a netizen's forwarded comment gradually attracted attention.

Qianqianqianqianqianqian: "Shiyue's strawberry wife is delicious! It's a pity that it costs 50 yuan each. I only rubbed against the elders of the family once. Wenniu's taste is as good as ever!"

50 yuan each? ! ! !

Netizens who don’t sleep at this time are mostly night owls and idlers. Seeing this forwarding, they quickly posted a comment and asked: "50 yuan each, is it true or not?"

"Did I make a mistake, it turned out to be 50 yuan a catty?"

The reply from the netizen came very quickly: "It's 50 yuan each, and it's on the hotel's menu. Anyone who has eaten it should know it. It seemed to be 30 yuan at first, but then the price increased to 50 yuan."

It's actually 50 yuan each!

"Poverty limits my imagination. Farewell."

"50 yuan a piece is at least 1000 yuan a catty, right? Are their strawberries made of gold?"

There are Weibo netizens from all over the world. After searching the location of Shiyue and the guests who have served, a small number of netizens stopped talking, but more netizens expressed doubts about the hotel's pricing:

"We really don't understand the world of the rich. Ordinary people have to hesitate a little while eating a 50 yuan meal, but rich people can spend 50 yuan a strawberry at will, haha."

"Maybe it's a fool and a fool? Anyway, someone will buy it, such as some big-breasted Internet celebrities."

"As far as I know, the price of Shiyue's vegetables is about the same as the average price of five-star hotels in Sujin City. Why is the price of this fruit alone so high? What is the reason for the increase from 30 to 50 each? "

"Probably imported from foreign countries. Fresh fruits imported from foreign countries are generally more expensive."

The topic gradually shifted from strawberries to the gap between the rich and the poor. Strawberries costing 50 yuan each stung the hearts of many netizens. No matter what reasons the hotel gave, such a high price was unscientific. The "very delicious" that Qian has always emphasized was completely ignored by netizens.

Some even refuted it directly: "I have also eaten hundreds of catties of strawberries. How can your so-called deliciousness be delicious?"

"It's 1000 yuan a catty, even if I find it unpalatable, I'm too embarrassed to say it."

And at this time, even more interesting netizens posted the menu of Shiyue directly. Sure enough, in the column of after-meal fruits, the price of 50 yuan a strawberry is far higher than other fruits, but it is still marked by the hotel as highly recommended typeface.

In addition to strawberries, small tomatoes priced at 20 yuan a piece were also posted on Weibo by netizens. Suddenly, there was a lot of criticism against Shi Yue, and even Ding Li was a little overwhelmed.

He didn't know what these netizens wanted to do. Now there seems to be a trend on Weibo, as long as restaurants and hotels with high prices are rip-offs, netizens criticize the domestic food prices while admiring foreign Michelin restaurants, as if the other party's No matter how expensive the dishes are, it is reasonable, and domestic dishes that exceed the limit are a scam.

Although the comments on Weibo did not affect the hotel's business, considering the reputation, Shi Yue had to respond.

"The pricing of all dishes in this hotel has been carefully researched and compared with the prices of similar dishes in the market. The pricing is reasonable and there is no violation or violation of the law."

As soon as the four words "reasonable pricing" were released, the bomb was detonated immediately, which immediately attracted ridicule from netizens.

"I don't seem to understand the word reasonable."

"Strawberries are priced at 50 yuan each. You say the price is reasonable. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"

"Hehehehe, the conscience of capitalists does not exist."

The sarcasm of the netizens also attracted the attention of the paper media. A certain daily with over a million fans and always good at digging out new topics reposted the comments of the netizens, and accompanied it with the article "Is the sky-high price of strawberries really reasonable?" ", once again detonated the traffic.
