Chapter 6 My House Has a Refrigerator

The East Bridge is located outside the North Second Ring Road of Yanjing, connecting Chaowai Avenue, which leads directly to the Palace Museum.

On the north side is the Baifu Building, which has settled in several Fortune 500 companies; on the south side are top office buildings such as Chaowai SOHO, World Trade Center, and Fortune Shopping Center; The largest shopping mall), on the east side is Tuanjiehu Park, and several high-end residential areas.

"As expected of the capital, Dazhangzi doesn't even have a building with more than 6 floors. It's already full of high-end office buildings."

Cao Chunyuan had been active at the train station and the farmer's market before, and stayed in the Phoenix Space most of the rest of the time.Therefore, her impression of Yanjing in the 90s was somewhat one-sided.

After arriving in Yanjing's most developed central business district, Cao Chunyuan couldn't help feeling that the capital deserves to be called the capital. Even in 1993, the level of development was not weak at all.

"Forget it, don't think about those useless things, selling strawberries is the most important thing."

Cao Chunyuan found a remote corner and took out a homemade flatbed cart borrowed from someone at the farmer's market.After neatly arranging the packaged strawberries, he pulled the flatbed cart and went straight to the downstairs of Baifu Building.

"Boutique strawberries, 15 yuan a catty, 30 yuan a box~"

"Handsome guy, do you want to buy strawberries? It costs 30 yuan a box. I guarantee you will want to eat them again."

Cao Chunyuan was very enthusiastic to sell to a man dressed as a business elite, but after hearing her words, the man ran away in a panic, making Cao Chunyuan confused.

"What's the situation, don't buy it if you don't buy it, and I won't eat you, so why run?"

The unfavorable start did not break Cao Chunyuan's confidence. She found a shady place on the edge of the square downstairs and continued to shout.

"Exquisite strawberries, 30 yuan a box. It's full of 2 catties, and it's safe for children and old people!"

Although Cao Chunyuan was very enthusiastic, she shouted for more than 10 minutes, but there was still no customer.

"Someone is selling something over there." (Someone is selling something over there)

"William, I think you like that girl." (William, I think you like that girl)

"She's really beautiful." (She's really beautiful)

Although Cao Chunyuan has passed the English test of CET-4 and CET-6, she can still understand some simple conversations.What's more, the two men standing not far away were pointing at her.

"It's impolite for you to discuss a girl behind your back." (It's impolite for you to discuss a girl behind your back)
"You can speak English?" William, with blond hair and blue pupils, looked at Cao Chunyuan who was walking up to him in surprise, and asked in Chinese with a slightly weird tone.

"Is English difficult?"

Cao Chunyuan held her head up, looking arrogantly at the man who was a head taller than her.

As a northern girl, Cao Chunyuan is not considered short. Although she has not measured it, she must be more than 1.7 meters.But the two foreigners in front of me are very tall, conservatively estimated to be 1.9 meters.

"You, uh, um, it looks like you don't speak English very well."

William stammered for a long time, and gave an explanation that was not smooth.

Cao Chunyuan knew in her heart that the other party was looking at her cheap attire, and that she was selling fruits here, so she didn't look like a highly educated person.

"I don't need to worry about my English, but it's not a gentleman's job to talk about girls behind your back."

William's face flushed with embarrassment. This was the first time he was taught by a Chinese girl who was younger than him.Fortunately, his companion responded quickly and helped him ease the embarrassing situation in front of him.

"Ma'am, I'm terribly sorry, how about we buy two boxes of strawberries as an apology?"

Cao Chunyuan originally didn't want to pursue such trivial matters with them, so she came here to argue with them, partly because she was too boring.

Seeing that the other party wanted to buy strawberries, she immediately changed her smiling face.

"Yes, 30 yuan a box, much cheaper than the special strawberries you usually buy, but the taste is better."

As Cao Chunyuan spoke, she walked in the direction of her flatbed.The two international friends followed Cao Chunyuan very consciously.

"Here, 60 yuan."

Cao Chunyuan casually picked up two boxes of strawberries from the flatbed cart and handed them to William.

William looked at his friends around him, took the strawberry very reluctantly, and paid 60 yuan.

After the two left, Cao Chunyuan excitedly kissed the 60 yuan she had just earned.

"Yeah, when I make money, I know I can do it."

"David, that girl must be a liar. The extra-grade strawberries that Sophia usually eats cost more than 30 pounds a catty, but these two catties of hers only cost 30 yuan. It's clear that they are shoddy."

David gave William an angry look, wondering if he would come to you if you hadn't talked about him behind his back?
Take it as a long lesson, so that you will not be able to control your mouth in the future.

"She looks very kind, she shouldn't lie."

"she"

William wanted to say that the girl had a sharp mouth and was very eloquent.But thinking of the other party's delicate face and clear eyes, he was a little speechless.

"Oh, forget it, you can send it to Sophia, she loves this kind of food the most."

William stuffed the two boxes of strawberries into David's arms, and walked straight to his office.

"Premium strawberries, 15 yuan a catty, 30 yuan a box, free tasting, not sweet, no money!"

Downstairs, Cao Chunyuan changed her marketing strategy. She opened two boxes of strawberries so that passers-by could see the quality of the strawberries.And use a knife to cut open two strawberries, so that everyone can see the plump and juicy pulp of the strawberries.

Sure enough, her strategy was very effective, and after a while, several people surrounded her.

"Little girl, can I try it for free?"

Cao Chunyuan glanced at the man who was speaking, and saw that he was well dressed, not like the kind of person who doesn't want a certain organ of the human body.He smiled and said, "Try first before buying, but each person is limited to one strawberry."

"Hey, you little girl, are you afraid that I will trick you into eating strawberries?"

The man smiled and picked up a strawberry, and took a bite of the red and attractive strawberry.

In an instant, a unique sweetness of strawberries, which he had never experienced before, exploded in his mouth.Moreover, it was accompanied by a trace of sour taste, which made his tongue salivate and he could not stop thinking about it.

"It tastes really good, bring me two boxes."

The man directly pulled out the Yetuo from the strawberry butt, threw the remaining half of the strawberry into his mouth, and said while taking out money.

"Ok."

Cao Chunyuan took the money with a smile and handed the man two boxes of strawberries.

"Really, isn't it singing and acting?"

A woman wearing a beige shirt on her upper body and tight black trousers on her lower body picked out the 'biggest' strawberry from the opened strawberry box, wiped it with her hand, and then took a bite of the tip of the strawberry.

In an instant, the woman's pupils shrank, and the questioning expression on her face turned into an aftertaste.

"Bring me 5 boxes."

"5 boxes?"

Cao Chunyuan looked at the other party in surprise. You must know that it is 1993, and the wages of ordinary workers in Yanjing are only 3 to 4 yuan.Only in the high-end office buildings in the Yanjing business district, the wages of these urban white-collar workers are in thousands.

"It's okay, I have a refrigerator at home."

The woman waved her hand casually, as if she was only talking about 5 boxes of strawberries, what's the big deal?My mother has a refrigerator at home, so I can eat whenever I want.

"Uh, a total of 150 yuan."

The corner of Cao Chunyuan's mouth twitched, and she complained silently in her heart, what's so great about having a refrigerator at home?
I have also used double-door freezer + refrigeration + quick-freezing + soft-freezing cabinet refrigerators, did I show off?
