On the third to last day of the trade fair, the popularity of their booth had subsided a little compared to before.
Although there are still many people coming to visit and choose every day, at least there doesn’t have to be eight people guarding the booth.
"Xiao Ming and I will stay here at noon today. After lunch, you all go back to the hotel and rest for two hours."
"Director Xiao Song, how about Xiao Ming and I stay here and you go and have a rest."
Although Chen Guihe was also tired, he was a man after all. He saw how hard Song Fuyu worked every day, and she was the most tired one among the eight people.
Every day I am like a screw, moving wherever I am needed.
"No need. It will be the same if I go to rest after you guys come back from rest."
There were not many people around at noon, so Chen Guoxing asked Wang Ping'an to bring her several bags of fruit.
There are all kinds of fruits. I guess she has collected all the fruits that can be bought in Guangzhou during this season.
"Thank you, Brother Ping An. Have you eaten?"
"No need to take it out, we have it too. Thanks to you, the factory manager bought some for us, too."
"I won't say any more to you. If I don't go back, they will definitely eat all the fruits."
As soon as Wang Ping'an left, Song Fuyu looked at his watch. It was already 1:40. In another 20 minutes, Mrs. Liu and the others should be back after resting.
So she ruthlessly woke up Xiao Ming who was sleeping soundly in the corner.
Xiao Ming, who was woken up, was still a little dazed.
"Is it time? Are there any customers coming?"
"Get up, it's almost two o'clock."
"My father bought me a lot of fruit. If I wanted to eat it, I would get up and wash it. If I didn't want to eat it, I would just go back to sleep."
When he heard that there was food, Xiao Ming immediately jumped up from the ground.
"I'll wash it! I'll wash it right away!"
He is not active in eating and has some problems as a human being, but he is a very smart person.
Chen Guoxing bought her seven kinds of fruits in total, including watermelon, peach, mango... Each one of them is not often eaten by people of this generation.
"Wash the peaches and bayberries. We don't have a knife for the rest, so we can eat them when we get back to the guesthouse."
"I can borrow a knife!"
"Then go borrow a knife after you finish washing."
"No problem! I guarantee to complete the task!"
Xiao Ming carried two bags of fruit and went to the washing area in a heroic and confident manner. Those who didn't know would think he was carrying two bags of spoils.
"Xiao Yu, where is Xiao Ming? Why are you the only one here?"
"I asked him to wash the fruit. My dad bought it."
Zhao Da looked at the fruit in front of him and smacked his lips.
"How much does this cost? Keep it for yourself and don't share it."
Zhao Da whispered in her ear.
"It's okay. We buy them to eat. Many of these fruits can't be kept. It's so hot in Guangzhou. They will go bad in two days. Rather than letting them go bad, we might as well eat them together and have some fun."
When Dad bought the food, he didn't intend for her to keep it for herself, otherwise he wouldn't have bought so much.
After a while, Xiao Ming came back with two bags of washed fruits.
"You guys got back just in time. I thought I could eat first."
"Just tell me if you ate anything while washing."
"No! I swear, I definitely didn't cheat this time!"
"real?"
"It is true! I am a very honest man."
Put the washed items on the table and put the other two fruits that don't need to be cut together.
"Come and eat quickly. Be careful when eating bayberries. Don't get them on your clothes. They're hard to wash."
"To be honest, I don't recognize any of these fruits except for watermelon, bayberry, and this peach with a pointed face."
After Xiao Ming finished speaking, the others nodded.
Transportation is not convenient now, and many fruits are produced and sold by local farmers. For example, some fragile fruits may be transported for hundreds of kilometers and bumped along the road, and you may not know what they look like when you arrive.
In Qin City where they live, the most abundant fruits are apples and plums, and in summer they are watermelons and melons.
Without exception, they are all extremely expensive and very few people will spend money to buy them.
"This pointed peach is called the Hawkbill Peach. It has a slightly crisp texture and a sweet taste."
"This is longan, also known as longan."
“Is this how you dry longans?”
“Yes, both fresh and dried are delicious.”
"This is a pineapple. You need to peel off the outer skin with a knife. There are many eyes inside, which need to be dug out and cannot be eaten. I'll show you when we get back to the guesthouse tonight."
"This yellow thing is called mango, and it also needs to be peeled before eating. There is a core in the middle that is almost as long as the fruit. In fact, you can eat it directly after peeling the skin, but it is easy to get it all over your hands and face, which is a bit unsightly."
"It smells really good. You can pick it up and smell it."
After hearing what she said, the seven people picked up a mango each and put it under their noses to smell it hard, just like curious babies.
"Wow, it smells really good. I really like this smell."
Liu Aihua was instantly attracted by the smell of mango, which smelled very sweet.
"This is actually a very magical fruit, and it is very easy to cause allergies. Some people are born unable to eat it, while others are allergic to it later in life. If you want to eat it, you can share one with a few people at night."
After introducing the mango, she picked up the yellow peel next to it.
She rarely ate this fruit before. It mainly grows in the south and is almost never seen in the north.
"This small one is called Huangpi. The flesh is a bit sour. If you chew it with the peel and the core together, it's a bit bitter, but it can help reduce internal heat and treat indigestion."
"Okay, now that I've introduced everything, pick the ones you're interested in."
"Director Xiao Song, you really know a lot."
Xiao Ming looked at her with admiration. In his impression, there was almost nothing that Director Xiao Song didn't know.
She usually has answers to any questions they raise.
"Books are a treasure trove of treasures. Read more when you have nothing to do. They can help you understand many things you didn't know before."
"I used to love studying, but later..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Eat!"
Zhao Da stopped them from discussing this topic here in time. They said privately that forget it. There are too many people here and they all have many opinions. If someone hears something they shouldn’t hear, everyone will be in trouble.
