“I didn’t see this stall when I came here in the morning. It’s quite pitiful that she met the evil spirit Xu Laotao on her first day.”
“I’m not a regular customer here. I haven’t seen her before. She probably just moved here, otherwise she would have shrunk when she saw the old man, and she wouldn’t have challenged him.”
“I heard that he went to the Imperial City, why did he come back?”
“Then who knows, he can’t survive anymore…”
“You can say that, but it’s no wonder that the old glutton came out. Look at what she sells, thorn tomatoes, tsk tsk, our specialty here, who knows what it tastes like.”
“Maybe her parents are purifiers, and they practiced with thorn tomatoes. It’s such a waste to throw away so many ingredients. It meets the food standards anyway, so why don’t you just sell them?”
“Huh?”
“Won’t buy it, Won’t buy it, I don’t have the spare money. I’m just taking a look.”
…
The people around her didn’t deliberately lower their voices. Lin Nuo heard it, but didn’t take it seriously. On Earth, she would think that people who sell tomatoes for 500 Star Coins a piece are crazy, but isn’t this an interstellar world where fruits and vegetables are extremely scarce? Things are rare and valuable, and she feels that she is quite kind.
The glutton took the glass of tomato juice and didn’t drink it in a hurry. He first looked at the color in the sunlight, then shook it, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it with a look of surprise on his face.
He turned to look at Lin Nuo, and then at the neatly arranged thorn tomatoes on the counter. There was amusement in his eyes, and he bit the straw in his mouth, and sipped lightly under the expectant eyes of everyone.
The cool red liquid entered his mouth along the straw. The moment the tomato juice came into contact with his tongue, the pure natural flavor bloomed instantly and exploded into a flower called happiness.
He fondly remembered that ten years ago, he had the honor to attend a private banquet hosted by the royal family. Not only did this usher in a turning point in his career, and he retired handsomely, he also tasted many pure natural foods that he would never forget.
That was the royal family. All the ingredients at the banquet were purified by purifiers themselves, and the original taste of the food was preserved as much as possible. Coupled with the cooking of top chefs, the dinner made him unable to stop eating. Even to this day, the taste is still fresh in his memory.
After that, he packed up his property and returned to his hometown of Desolate Star to settle down, but he never gave up traveling around…or rather sightseeing.
Unfortunately, the combination of a top purifier and a top chef is hard to find. He could only treat that dinner as the best memory in his life and bury it in his heart – until he just took a sip of tomato juice and then he suddenly realized that maybe he still had the opportunity to relive the good things again, and even reach a higher level.
After all, thorn tomatoes were not served as ingredients on the dinner table that year. On the other hand, there are many ornamental plants planted in the courtyard next to it.
There were so many memories in his mind, but in fact, not much time had passed. Under the astonished eyes of everyone, the old glutton drank all the tomato juice in the bottle in one gulp, then he took out his computer and opened the payment interface, and with a big hand, he spoke with great pride: “Little girl, I’ll take all the goods you have here, let’s count the money!”
Before Lin Nuo could answer, the crowd immediately burst into laughter. The old glutton was a famous gourmet in their area, but he was stingy and mean. There are so many vendors in the commercial area who were expelled by him in the name of “not good food or drink”. Those who can get a “not bad, not bad” comment have now saved enough money to open a store.
“I’ll go, I’m crazy. Why are you buying so many thorn tomatoes? You can pick them from the roadside if you want. You can have as much as you want.”
“Isn’t there something wrong with your tongue, right?”
“Scam, it must be a Scam! Is this little girl a relative of his? Otherwise, how could it be possible?” Some of the onlookers were talking about this, and some were not afraid of him and directly fired at Lao Tao and Lin Nuo with words that didn’t sound so nice.
“Hey, Taotie, how much did you charge? Can you tell us?”
“Old Tao, did something happen at home? If you need money, let us know. Let’s help you get it. Why bother? Is it not a waste to tear down your own brand of more than ten years?”
“That’s right, Taotie, your acting is too fake.”
“Hey, don’t say it, I think Lao Tao will not get any money. Just accept it. Look at that little girl’s skin and tender flesh. It looks like she didn’t grow up here. She might taste so good – What the hell!”
“What a shame, my thorn tomatoes!” Lin Nuo had a baby-like delicate face, throwing another tomato up and down with his right hand, staring at the guy with tomato juice dripping from his face, and said coldly, “Don’t open your mouth, it stinks. Yes, be careful I will report you for polluting the air.”
She has a very Buddhist mentality and is not willing to fight for anything, but this does not mean that she will not fight back if someone bullies her. Lin Nuo rarely holds grudges, and she usually avenges them on the spot. Memories are reserved for good things, and it is better to deal with bad things right then and forget them.
The man who had been humiliated by a tomato was furious at first. He raised his hand and wiped his face. The juice and pulp were inevitably brought to his lips. Maybe he noticed something. He stuck out his tongue and licked it like a ghost, and then suddenly his eyes widened. His eyes were blinded, and his whole body seemed to be petrified, unable to move.
The old glutton was originally wary of him, thinking that if the other party came to trouble Lin Nuo, he would have to take action. The little girl didn’t look like she could fight. Seeing that the big man was standing still and not looking like he was going to cause trouble, he didn’t bother to care about him. He just turned his head and looked at Lin Nuo, waiting for her to pack all the thorn tomatoes on the counter for him.
However, Lin Nuo showed a business-like smile to the old glutton and said: “I’m sorry, sir, we have a purchase limit here. Each person with the same citizen ID is limited to 1 gift box, or 1 tomato, or 1 cup of tomato juice.”
The old glutton was stiff. After waking up from the dream of feasting, he said with an unhappy face: “Are you afraid that I can’t afford it?”
Lin Nuo’s smile remained unchanged and said: “I have no intention of questioning your financial resources, but today, during the trial opening, there were not many goods brought, so the purchase is limited. It will not be so small in the future.”
That’s right, the previous customer took away 4 boxes of souvenirs, which was 12 tomatoes, plus the one he bought individually before, there were only 17 left in stock out of 30. Then Lin Nuo juiced a tomato, and the rest couldn’t be sold to just a few people.
Lao Tao is very famous, and Lin Nuo can see it, but she doesn’t understand him well and won’t choose to put all her eggs in his basket.
Rather than letting one person make a fool of herself and others not knowing what it feels like, it is better to “spread the rain and dew” and create a few more living advertisements to help her promote free of charge.
Hearing that today is a trial opening, so the purchase is limited, the old glutton’s face became much better, and he asked: “When will you open tomorrow? How much goods are there? I’ll pack them all directly, and you can deliver them directly… Forget it, you tell me. I’ll pick it up myself. You don’t need to give me any discount, just keep it at your original price today.”
Lin Nuo shook his head and said, “You don’t understand what I mean. When I said there won’t be that much in the future, I mean the purchase quantity, rather than open supply. For the specific amount, I will refer to the turnover in the past few days and post an announcement on the official opening day. During the three days of trial operation before that, the rules are still the same as now.” He sank again: “Are you kidding me?”
Lin Nuo smiled and said: “I don’t mean that, but it’s best to set the rules from the beginning.”
The old glutton stared at Lin Nuo deeply: “You really can’t be accommodating? ”
Lin Nuo shook his head: “Integrity is important in business. Once the rules are stated, it’s hard to change them casually.”
“You’ve said it, don’t regret it!” The old man said these words, “hum”-ed, held the hand of his fat grandson, turned around and left.
Lin Nuo shrugged. Before she could say anything, the crowd of onlookers who couldn’t hold back their excitement suddenly rushed over. They all showed the payment interface of the optical computer, and they all wanted to try it first.
That’s something a gourmand would like to take. It definitely taste good. Anyway, it has passed quality inspection, so there is no need to worry about safety and hygiene. This little girl didn’t put many things on the counter. If they didn’t hurry up and couldn’t grab it, they would have to watch others eat and drink, which would be very frustrating.
“Give me one!”
“I want it too!”
“Me, me, me!”
“Don’t squeeze, I came first!”
“You stepped on me!!”
…
Lin Nuo saw that this was not going to work, so she quickly leaned out from the counter to preside over the order. She quickly clapped his hands a few times, and shouted loudly: “Get in line! Please get in line! I don’t have many goods today. In order to let more people buy it, I only sell tomato juice! Please obey the order.” , don’t squeeze in the window, I won’t sell to people who jump in line.”
After shouting, Lin Nuo repeated the content twice, and then retreated into the stall, preparing tomato juice while waiting for them to queue up. good.
They were smart enough to choose a spot early and stood there. Although they were not the first, the queue formed quickly, and it looked like the few people who were crowded at the window and reluctant to leave seemed to have jumped in line.
After Lin Nuo prepared the first batch of 12 bottles of tomato juice, he ignored the few stragglers and started selling directly from the formed team. Only then did those few people realize that they had been excluded from the main force. outside.
Although he was depressed, after seeing that no matter how hard he tried, Lin Nuo refused to sell to them, so he could only go to the end of the queue. At the same time, he prayed that the supply of goods must be sufficient, at least not to sell out before he could buy it. .
“Oh my god!! It tastes so good!!”
When they were queuing up, the first person to buy it had already drank it. Like the previous glutton, the first sip of tomato juice completely conquered the other person’s taste buds. He Now I hate why there is a limited amount. I want to drink the rest but am reluctant to drink it. I wish I could just lick a drop at a time and be satisfied.
“What kind of divine flavor is this! Boss, please, sell me another one!!”
“Oh my god, I have never tasted anything so delicious in my life!”
“Which purifier is this masterpiece? Ah, does he need an assistant? I can just buy a few more bottles of tomato juice every day for free. ”
”
Boss, can you bring more to sell?” One limited bottle is really not enough, I also want to take it home for my parents to try.”
…
As bottles of tomato juice are sold for takeout, more and more people who have tried it join in and sincerely blow rainbow farts. In the army of people, Lin Nuo smiled and listened to them praising their products in various ways. He felt happy in his heart, and the action of juicing became more brisk, thinking that he must bring more tomorrow.
At this time, even those who had been following the herd mentality and just joining in the fun realized that they had really caught up with something good, and they felt a little more nervous and expectant. “Don’t sell out” suddenly became the voice of everyone in line.
The author has something to say: Gu Gu Gu, good luck and good luck~
