Chapter 5 Snatch it all(1/2)

The grocery stall owner took a look at the price on the Lin Xing card, and was dumbfounded, shaking his head.

"Little brother, the thing you sell is too expensive, no one wants it.

Next door is a large supermarket, and downhill there is a chain of high-end fruit stores called Orchards.

If people want cheaper food, they go to the supermarket, and if they want delicious food, they go to Huiguoyuan.

Your three-no product costs fifty yuan each?

It's so many times more expensive than Baiguoyuan, so how could anyone buy it?

If you buy one guava, you can buy a big bag somewhere else.”

Seeing the enthusiasm of the boss, Lin Xing was not angry. He said happily: "Brother, this is not necessarily true. People here are willing to spend money to buy really delicious fruit."

Seeing that Lin Xing was not understanding, the grocery stall owner continued to persuade him in a low voice.

"You can just call me Da Niu. I am somewhat famous for setting up stalls in this area.

I didn’t mean to hit you. Look, the stalls on this slope are all cheap things. There are no expensive things for sale. Do you know why?

Don't think that this is a wealthy community. People here spend money very generously.

Most rich people save their money and are very stingy.

It's easy to use, and they will buy brand-name products.

They are very picky about food.

To put it bluntly, they are afraid of death. Even if your guava looks beautiful, it is useless. They are afraid that your pesticides will exceed the standard and they will eat them to death.

So, I have been setting up stalls here for so many years, but when I see fruit sellers, very few of them can make money.

You may lower the price, and some people will be willing to buy a few to try.

You can’t help but keep the fruit, it will rot in a few days, so don’t sell it slowly if you can, you are right to listen to me.”

Lin Xing smiled.

"Brother Daniu, thank you for your advice."

Seeing that Lin Xing did not do what he wanted, Daniel sighed secretly.

"Well, if it weren't for the fact that he bought so many things from me, I wouldn't bother to say so much.

It's a pity that people just don't listen to advice, and young people are stubborn."

Lin Xing quietly guarded his stall.

Many people passing by on the road scoffed when they saw the sign written by Lin Xing.

"You are crazy about money. A guava costs fifty yuan, and you think it is some kind of expensive fruit."

"Guava, this southern fruit, tastes like grass. I won't even eat it if it's given to me."

"I bought a few in the supermarket a few days ago and threw away half of them. Guavas this season are hard to eat."

"The ones I bought at Huiguoyuan are not delicious, let alone those from supermarkets."

"The plant is so big and looks so beautiful. A lot of pesticides must have been used. Who would dare to eat it?"

"At this price, I might as well grab it. It's really ridiculous."

Daniel shook his head as he listened, but stopped trying to persuade Lin Xing.

"Look, half an hour has passed and there's not even a single person to taste it. If you don't listen to the old man's words, you'll suffer a lot.

It's hard to be a good person these days, so I'd better mind my own business."

At this time, an old lady holding a poodle passed by.

The old lady's back is very straight, elegant and well-maintained, and her specific age cannot be seen.

But one thing that is certain is that she was a beauty when she was young.

When they passed Lin Xing's stall, the poodle's nose twitched, its two black eyes stared at the guavas in Lin Xing's stall, and it stopped walking.

"Lulu, why don't you leave?"

The old lady pulled the rope, but the poodle refused to move. It wanted to get closer to the guava but was fettered by the rope. It barked "woof, woof, woof" and was very irritated.

The old lady persuaded her gently: "Lulu, that's fruit. You can't eat it. Be obedient."

However, the poodle didn't listen to her and growled lowly, becoming more and more irritable.

Lin Xing took the opportunity to say: "Grandma, my guava is very delicious. Even your dog knows it is a good thing. Do you want to give it a try? It is free of charge."

The old lady smiled and shook her head.

"Young man, please don't fool me.

Although I like to eat guava, I know that the guava in this season is not delicious and is particularly painful for my teeth.

I spent a lot of money on these teeth, and it won’t be worth it if they get damaged.”

Lin Xing confidently assured her: "Grandma, don't worry, my pomegranate will never damage your teeth. I'll give you a more ripe piece for you to try. If I damage your teeth, I will make up for it."

Maybe it was Lin Xing's handsome face and sincere attitude that impressed the old lady, or maybe the poodle couldn't pull her, so the old lady's attitude softened.

"Since you said so, young man, let me try a piece."

She twisted her orchid fingers and took the small piece of guava handed over by Lin Xing and put it in her mouth.

Lin Xing noticed that her expression suddenly brightened, she kept nodding and chewed faster.

"It's delicious! Young man, your white-heart guava is so delicious!

The skin is thin, the seeds are few and small, and they are sweet and glutinous!

It has a very guava flavor, which reminds me of the similar guava I had eaten in the countryside when I was an educated youth. This is the flavor.

I will never find anything like this again.

No, your guava is countless times more delicious than the one back then!

Oh, I really miss that time."

The old lady thought about the past, tears flashed in her eyes.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, sniffed, and asked, "Young man, how much does your guava cost per pound?"

The old man's eyesight is not very good and he didn't see Lin Xingbiao's price.

Lin Xing smiled faintly.

"Grandma, fifty yuan each."

The old lady was surprised by the price.

But when she thought of the alluring taste, she still couldn't get enough of it.

“Fifty yuan a piece is a bit expensive, but it’s worth it.

My throat was sore just now, but now I feel much better. I will buy two."

Lin Xing grinned and finally opened the door.

"Okay!"

When people passing by saw the old lady buying guava, they couldn't help but persuade her: "Oh, Mr. Li, have you been deceived? These guavas cost fifty yuan a piece. They are too expensive!"

It looks so good, is it treated with pesticides?"

The old lady smiled and said: "This guava is indeed delicious, much better than the one from Hui Orchard.

As soon as you eat it, you can tell that no pesticides have been used.

Give it a try and make sure you feel the same as me."

Passers-by were moved.

"Oh, is it so?

It’s free anyway, so I’ll give it a try.

Boy, give me a piece."

Lin Xing was very happy when he saw someone trying it again.

He knew that once he tasted his guava, he basically couldn't escape.

After the man ate a small piece, he froze on the spot for three seconds and gave a thumbs up.

"The taste is amazing!

Teacher Li, you are right, it is worth every penny!"

He turned to Lin Xing and said, "Young man, give me three!"

Seeing their reactions, others also stopped.

"Hey, isn't this Teacher Li, the great figure in the bodybuilding industry? She has trained so many supermodels and beauty pageant champions, and even some celebrities have learned bodybuilding and health care from her.

She has maintained a good figure all year round and is notoriously talkative. She insists on eating healthy food and will not eat anything that is not good.
