Master Li wandered around the entire exhibition for several hours, walking and eating. When he passed the cherries exhibition area, he was asked to go over and taste two more.
Ah! What kind of paradise is this? How come he didn’t know anything before!
From the small tomatoes that came in to the jackfruit to the imported prunes... This morning, just eating fruit made my teeth sore! Not only that, but the world has also been greatly expanded!
Among other things, he went to the durian area, which is his child’s favorite food. It stinked so bad, and there were so many people buying it—what’s so delicious about it?
Especially the newly introduced Puya durian. What kind of fruit does it sell for more than 100 kilograms? !
Master Li was so frightened that he backed up on the spot without looking back.
This is not too expensive compared to the 19.9 per kilogram of durian that is usually sold at home.
He bared his teeth and left this smelly and terrible gold-selling cave, feeling a little regretful at this moment——
Because it’s been a whole morning and he hasn’t tasted the high-quality fruits and vegetables that his customers eat. The ones he tried all the way were pretty good, much better than the ones he bought at home, so much so that he couldn't help but spend some money.
But, it just doesn’t have the same taste as what the customer sent! So much so that he hesitated for a long time holding his cell phone, unable to help but feel the inner conflict between heaven and man—
Do you really need to try the expensive one? Do you need to buy the durian that costs more than 100 yuan and try it?
But when he turned around, the strong smell was overwhelming. He thought again and again, and quickly changed the exhibition area—
The fruit can easily weigh dozens or hundreds of pounds per pound, and he is not worthy of it. But the vegetable exhibition area here can always work, right?
Look at it—red lotus root in Bibo Lake, crisp white lotus root in Lotus Lake, red-skinned lotus seeds...
There are also basswood white fungus, wild black fungus...
Ouch! There are also Shawo radish here! Can I make that kind of radish pancake?
Master Li is eager to give it a try.
But after a moment, his expression collapsed again: "That's not the case..."
"What kind is it?" the salesperson in the exhibition area asked curiously: "Uncle, you have been here two or three times and you have tasted the radishes - our Shawo radishes this year have been sold like crazy in this province. It is true. Okay! Didn’t you taste it just now?”
Master Li was a little embarrassed and took out his mobile phone at this moment: "Then I will buy a few kilograms... It is indeed better than the ones on the market, but it is much different from what I thought..."
Salespeople don’t like hearing this.
“It’s much better than our radish. How is it better? If you want to eat it raw, did you try a fruit radish?”
Master Li shook his head: "It's just that kind of... shredded radish cake. Once you bite into it, it smells so fragrant... I've been thinking about it in my dreams."
I regret it when I think about it, why can’t I taste it? Because what Song Tan gave me was a sweet potato pancake stuffed with sesame fillings... But when I came here this morning, I tasted the sweet potatoes and sesame seeds, but it didn't taste like that!
Sales staff:…
He resisted the desire to roll his eyes, and at this moment he showed off his professionalism: "Then where did you eat it? You can buy it wherever you eat it. Anyway, our Carrot Province is proud of it."
Master Li suddenly woke up: "That's right!"
He said cheerfully: "I was confused, but luckily you reminded me. What selection they are participating in today is also in this exhibition area - where is it?"
Selection?
The salesperson was stunned for a moment, and then he realized: "Oh! Houji selection, right? You told me earlier that everyone participating in the selection must have two brushes... I remember it seems to be in the Southern District, you go to the Southern District to see Look."
Master Li said happily: "I want to buy some sweet potatoes, sesame seeds, radishes, cucumbers and the like. The quality here is not up to par. I will go to the South District later to have a look." This was a regular customer. Hearing this, he was stunned and said quickly: "Don't worry. Urgent, the selection in the South District is held every year. But not everyone can participate in the public review. You have to get your ticket to draw a number - you can sign up at the guidance desk in front of you! "
As he spoke, he also became interested: "What delicious food makes you want to remember it? I will join in the fun today!"
“Oops!” Master Li was worried that no one would say anything. Now when he thought about the sweet potato cake, he wanted to praise it. However, I couldn't hold back the words. In the end, my face turned red and I just hummed:
“It’s delicious anyway, better than all these.”
But the other party believed this. After all, who can enter the Houji primary election has no advantage!
“Let’s go!” He enthusiastically led the way: “Let’s report the number first, and then go to the exhibition area over there and wait to see if we can win. It’s already past 1 o’clock, and they will start at two o’clock.”
“I think it can work. It’s snowing so many people don’t want to come. This year’s fair will not have as many people as before.”
“The selection is relatively unpopular. Many people didn’t even know about it when they first came back. I think we have a high chance of being selected.”
“Okay, okay!” Master Li was also full of expectations.
…
The two new partners walked towards the South District with great expectations. The further they walked, the more deserted they felt. The booths are getting smaller and smaller. When passing through exhibition area 66 in the central intersection area, a friend I just met happily came over:
“Oh! These oranges are sold to all ages this morning! Do you have any tastings? Let’s try them too.”
The staff laughed: "Yes, the public review has not started yet, but we can have a taste first."
"Okay, okay!" the companion said happily: "My family all loves oranges. Your mountain oranges are delicious, so I will buy more of them!"
There were not many people around at noon, so the other party was particularly carefree: "Come on, brother, you can try it too! We are also participating in the selection! The taste will not be bad!"
Master Li was full of water and shook his head: "I won't eat anymore. I'll try that restaurant later."
He was so determined that his companion became more and more curious. At this moment, he tasted the oranges hastily, turned around and placed an order for five more boxes, and then looked at him expectantly:
“Brother, let’s go! I have to try the one you mentioned today! By the way, where is it from?”
Master Li was stuck. He thought about what the company said when he took the order—
So he hesitated and said: "It should be from Yuncheng, Ning Province."
“Yuncheng, where is that?” The other party thought for a moment in confusion, but couldn’t think of any local characteristics from these two words.
But it doesn’t matter! Before hairy crabs became popular, Yangcheng Lake was still in textbooks!
He looked at the time: "At two o'clock sharp, the public account will push the public review quota. I think the time is also up. The two of us - hey hey hey! I can participate! What about you? Can you participate?"
Master Li looked at his phone and clicked on the number unfamiliarly. He was also excited at this moment: "I can do it too!"
“Let’s go, let’s go!” The companion cheered up: “It’s noon, let’s eat and taste what we need while there’s still no one around!”
“Okay, okay—wait a moment!”
Master Li started dialing: "Let me ask which exhibition area that is. I have to buy it quickly, otherwise what will I do if it's sold out?"
He thought of the bustle in the durian area, and was deeply wary at this moment——
There are too many rich people in this imperial capital!
