I became an internet celebrity by running a grocery store

When Grandma Li came in, she saw this scene.

Xiao Bei sat on the sofa with a flushed face and a stiff expression, while Xiao Xia sat on the ground beside him.The eyes looked at them and seemed to be a little sad, what does this mean.

Grandma Li felt that she couldn't understand whether she came in at the wrong time.

She rubbed her presbyopic eyes, trying to look more carefully.At this time, Xiao Xia had already stood up, her expression returned to her previous gentle and stable expression, and she looked at them with a smile.

"Grandma Li, why are you here? What's the matter?" Xia Songfeng looked at their mighty group of people with different expressions, and guessed that they came to complain about strawberry's bad reviews, feeling a little uncertain.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one said anything, but Grandma Li stood up first.

"Xiao Xia, about the strawberry..."

Xia Songfeng sighed, knowing that he couldn't hide, he said slowly.

"Strawberries did have a lot of bad fruit due to express delivery problems, and received bad reviews from customers."

"Then...then how do we deal with this?" Grandma Li said anxiously, her wrinkled face was full of worry.

Zhang Xiaobei came up and stood beside Xia Songfeng.The bodies of the two were close together, blocking the intertwined hands behind them.They crossed their fingers, as if they wanted to convey their encouragement and courage to each other's body through this tightly pressed hands.

Xia Songfeng took a deep breath, glanced at him, "Refund the money."

As soon as the words fell, the village branch exploded in an instant.Everyone looked left and right and talked a lot.

In order to grow strawberries, everyone worked hard for three full months.Leaving aside the time and energy spent, the fertilizer and the money to buy strawberry seedlings have been spent a lot.Refunding money is easy to say, but it is not easy to get it out.

"Everyone, stop arguing, and listen to me." Xia Songfeng raised a hand and waved it in the air, "This matter is my responsibility, and I didn't think it through. I was the one who encouraged everyone to grow strawberries. The original intention was to let everyone make a fortune from this and live a better life. But I didn’t expect it to end up like this, so I will fully cover the refund this time.”

As soon as the words fell, the entire village branch fell silent, and Zhang Xiaobei also stared at him blankly.

Full compensation, that's not a small amount of money, he gently pinched Xia Songfeng's palm, with a worried expression on his face.

Xia Songfeng smiled and shook his head at him, showing a reassuring look in his eyes.

"Everyone can rest assured now."

The villagers looked up at him, no one spoke, and there was an unknown light in their eyes.

At this time, Aunt Wang came in from behind suddenly, "Xiao Xia, you can't let you pay for this money alone. Don't worry about the compensation for strawberries in my family. I'm not poor and I can't even get this little money. Let's talk about it." , you were also doing it for the good of everyone. During the month of selling strawberries live, you didn’t take a day off, and they don’t know your hard work, but I know it.”

"Aunt Wang..."

Aunt Wang waved her hand and said impatiently, "Okay, don't be stubborn with me."

"That's right, don't worry about my family. The year of farming is good, and the year is bad. It's not without loss." Liu Bing also stood up, stepped forward and patted Xia Songfeng's arm, "Just I can still afford to pay for those boxes." After speaking, he laughed.

"I think Liu Bing is right." Grandma Li arched her back and smiled, "It's not that we didn't lose money, you don't have to worry about my little strawberries. Fortunately, I didn't grow many, so I didn't lose much. "

These few people changed their minds, and the rest of the villagers looked at each other in blank dismay, somewhat embarrassed in their hearts.

After all, no matter what you say about this matter, it can't be blamed on Xiao Xia.When people propose that they take the initiative to take responsibility for compensation, it is because they are righteous, and people can't put their noses on their faces, so they really let them bear the blame.

What's more, he is a young man who came to the village right after graduation. Everyone can see how many practical things he has done for the village. Whoever has the nerve to really ask for compensation.

"Xiao Xia, you don't have to worry about my family. I have something to do, so I'll go back first."

"Don't worry about mine, I have something to do too, let's go first."

Everyone said something to each other, and after a while, everyone left, only Xia Songfeng and Zhang Xiaobei stood and stared blankly.

Each family took the initiative to bear the compensation, which moved Xia Songfeng so much that he worked harder on the subsequent sale of strawberries.

According to Zhang Xiaobei's suggestion, he first picked a few strawberry-growing houses in the village, and tried to see if the method of picking strawberries was feasible.

Zhang Xiaobei also helped him make a special promotional poster, which was pasted at the most conspicuous position at the entrance of the canteen, and on the only way to the back mountain.

As long as visitors to the village can see it, it really attracted some people to experience it.

He also bribed Wang Xin and Lele with snacks to help him promote himself in school.Two more posters were made for Lame Li and Uncle Liu.

Li Liezi sells goods in the streets and alleys all day long, letting many people in the town know that there is a strawberry garden in Nanlin Village.The factory where Uncle Liu works is full of young people who like to join in the fun. On weekdays and weekends, they either watch movies or eat out at restaurants, and play billiards to relax.Now there is another recreational activity of strawberry picking, and there are still many little girls and couples here.

The remedial policy of picking strawberries was very successful, which made Xia Songfeng feel less guilty.

The next step is how to sell these strawberries to maximize the benefits. The strawberry jam, dried strawberries, and freeze-dried strawberries proposed by Zhang Xiaobei are indeed feasible to a certain extent.

But freeze-drying requires a freeze-drying machine. To be able to handle so many strawberries in the village, it costs less than [-] yuan to buy a machine.Xia Songfeng didn't dare to buy them lightly and add burden to the villagers before he was sure how much profit they would bring.

Now only strawberry jam is feasible, but no one in the village can make it, so Xia Songfeng went to Zhang Xiaobei.

Today is the weekend, Zhang Xiaobei delivered the goods to the county early in the morning, and now he is tinkering with strawberries in the kitchen.

A few days ago, Liu Bing gave him five catties of strawberries, and regardless of whether he could eat them all, he stuffed them into his arms and left.

Taking advantage of the time today, Zhang Xiaobei wanted to use these strawberries to make some strawberry jam.He cleaned the strawberries first and pulled out the stalks. Taking the opportunity, he tasted two of them, which were very sweet.Not only is it a bit larger than ordinary strawberries, but it also has a higher degree of sweetness. The sweet and sour lingering on the tip of the tongue makes people unable to stop eating one after another.

Then he cut the strawberries into four pieces and put them in the iron pot, and added a little marshmallow.Because he wanted to keep the sweet and sour taste of strawberries, Zhang Xiaobei didn't add much.Stir these two evenly, then open a small fire and boil slowly.

After cooking for about 30 minutes, all the sugar melted, and all the pectin in the strawberry flowed out. The pulp became soft and rotten, and the color became sweeter and redder.

At this time, he took out a small spoon and skimmed all the foam floating on it.Then squeeze some lemon juice and stir constantly.The strawberry jam is obviously getting thicker and thicker, with bright red pulp underneath, and the jam on top is crystal clear like jelly.

Zhang Xiaobei tasted the taste and found it very good, so he turned off the fire, and then poured all the cooked sauce into a clean glass jar.

As soon as Xia Songfeng was done, he walked in. Zhang Xiaobei wondered if his nose belonged to a dog, and he could stick it perfectly every time.

"What are you doing? It smells so good." Xia Songfeng embraced him from behind, and rubbed his forehead affectionately on his cheek.

"Strawberry jam." Zhang Xiaobei scooped up a little and fed it into his mouth with a spoon, "How is it?"

"good to eat!"

Zhang Xiaobei laughed lightly, "You said it was delicious as soon as it was stuffed in, have you tasted it yet?"

"Of course I tasted it. Everything you make is delicious. I came to you to ask about strawberry jam. No one in our village can make it. I didn't expect you to do it well. You are really my good wife."

Zhang Xiaobei's face became hot, and he didn't dare to let Xia Songfeng continue, for fear that his words would become muddled, "Okay, you can't stop your mouth even if you eat."

"How to do this, is it difficult?"

"It's not difficult." Zhang Xiaobei told him the process, "Hey, tell me, should we make another sugar substitute? Now people pay attention to healthy eating, weight loss and fitness. If it's ordinary white sugar, they buy it. There will be concerns.”

Xia Songfeng nodded in agreement, "I'll listen to you, let's make a little of each one first. I've already told everyone about the dried strawberries, and a batch has already been dried. It's this strawberry jam. I'll trouble you to teach everyone how to make it."

"fine."

Within a few days, Xia Songfeng regained his composure and started the live broadcast again with several new products from Nanlin Village.

Because the strawberry matter was handled well, not only did the customers get a refund, but each customer even received an extra small bottle of sweet and sour strawberry jam. Although the quantity was not much, it was a sincere gesture.No matter how difficult the customers were, they lost their temper and revised the bad reviews one after another, and the store's rating returned to the previous nine o'clock.

Strawberry jam is made of fresh strawberries without any additives, so the shelf life is relatively short.Xia Songfeng made small bottles for sale, and the dried strawberries were all sealed and sold, and the live broadcast was also very good.

Zhang Xiaobei also put some on the software.

Recently, a new customer came in, and each time he bought a large amount, the exchanged items were different from his previous customers.

There is a big wild boar weighing more than 100 jins, a bag of various wild fruits and animal skins that he has never seen before, and even several strings of necklaces made of ivory, gold, silver, gems, jade, and shells.Although the necklace is very rough to wear, the aesthetics are not very advanced.Gemstones and jade blocks have not been carved in the slightest, retaining their most primitive wild beauty.

But the size and completeness of the gems, jade pieces, and ivory left Zhang Xiaobei dumbfounded, his eyes straightened just by looking at the pictures.

He wondered in his heart whether this thing was real, and where did that person find so many treasures.But looking at the Maomao coins exchanged, there were actually less than [-] yuan, Zhang Xiaobei covered his heart, and almost passed over on the spot.

As far as software never suffers from urine, this thing is definitely true.

Zhang Xiaobei regretted exchanging it himself, he should keep it for himself, how much would he have to exchange it for?

During this period of time, he ran a canteen, and although he made a lot of Maomao coins, his wallet also lost weight rapidly.Now he lives on the silver exchanged by Chang Rubi, the diamonds from He Xing, and the gold bars that Ji Niu occasionally finds.

Because the origin was unknown, he didn't dare to sell them openly, and they all took them to small shops on the street to exchange for money.Although the money given there is not much, it is enough to fill the shortfall in the canteen without asking extra questions.

But there is no surplus, which makes people panic.Zhang Xiaobei would keep some of the gold, silver and precious stones he saw on weekdays, just in case.

As soon as the strawberry jam was put on the shelves this time, I didn't expect that the first customer who came to take pictures was the one who exchanged it with wild boar.

This time I took 10 bottles of strawberry jam, and I exchanged them for 5 yuan in gold.

Zhang Xiaobei quickly refused, and soon the gold stone was in his hands.
