Chapter 165 Fruit Potpourri
"My last name is Zhang, you can just call me Lao Zhang, this is my wife, her last name is Wang," Yang Fan was easy to talk to, and Uncle Zhang became even more enthusiastic, "We are here every market day, you can ask us if you have any questions."
His wife beside him smiled subtly, although not very enthusiastic, and she even secretly glared at Uncle Zhang, as if she was complaining about him talking too much, but judging from her face, she was a person with a good personality.
According to Uncle Zhang, the couple are not from this town. They live in the city. Their hometown was other counties in Shangrao. Later they settled in the city and set up stalls to sell paper towels on market days in several surrounding towns.
As he spoke, he also told Yang Fan about the market hours in each town. Yang Fan was very interested in this.
If she has free time later, she can also take the fruits to various towns to sell. This is also a kind of fun, chatting with different people, just like Uncle Zhang.
He is familiar with the surrounding towns, big and small, and he knows all the major events that happen in the towns.
He even knew exactly what size shoes the children of the noodle shop owner in the next town wore.
"My name is Yang Fan, and she is Xiao Lin. You can also try the fruits in my house."
Yang Fan took a few bunches of grapes and distributed some to Uncle Zhang and his wife, as well as the lady selling children's clothes nearby.
Although the sister in charge of children's clothing hadn't spoken much to her yet, when she parked the car just now, the sister also helped to direct the parking spot.
Uncle Zhang took the grapes from Yang Fan with a smile. There were four bunches of grapes, and he gave three to his wife and took one for himself.
"Your grapes look so fresh." The fragrance of the fruit wafted faintly in the air. Just by smelling and looking at the appearance, you could tell that they were good fruit.
Uncle Zhang couldn't wait to rinse it with water and ate a grape directly. Aunt Wang beside him saw him eating it directly without rinsing it with water and patted him, "Why don't you wash it first?"
We don’t even know if this fruit has been sprayed with pesticides, how can we eat it directly?
But Uncle Zhang ignored her reminder and hummed in amazement, "It's delicious!"
He was so delicious that he couldn't even bear to spit out the skin of the grapes, so he ate them whole with the skin and flesh.
He ate a few more, his eyes brightened up, these grapes were really delicious! They were better than any other grapes he had ever eaten in his life!
Seeing how happily he was eating, Aunt Wang and the sister who was selling children's clothes nearby quickly rinsed the grapes with the water they brought and then ate them. As soon as the grapes entered their mouths, they both showed the same surprised expression as Uncle Zhang on their faces.
Uncle Zhang couldn't stop eating and quickly finished the whole bunch of grapes.
After finishing the meal, he still felt a little unsatisfied. He turned to look at his wife, with a look on her face that clearly showed that she wanted to eat more.
Aunt Wang gave him another bunch of grapes. Uncle Zhang still didn't rinse them with water. He just opened the grapes and ate them quickly.
"Little girl, your grapes are really delicious. I'll buy a few pounds to eat later."
Buy some more to bring back for the kids.
The lady selling children's clothing also said, "Leave a few pounds for me too."
"Okay, we have a big fruit sale. Today, it's ten yuan per pound," Yang Fan changed the subject, "but today it's a mixed fruit menu. We won't be selling just one type of fruit, and each family is limited to buying two pounds."
The uncle walked to the side of the tricycle curiously and looked at the neatly arranged, extremely fresh, delicious-looking fruits inside. There were even loquats, which also looked very fresh.
"You have loquats at home."
Loquat is a fruit with low storage quality. When it was available not long ago, he didn't eat much before it was sold out. Now, except for some fruit stores, it is rare to see people selling loquats.
"Well, there are still some left. The fruit at home was a little late in the market."
Yang Fan took two loquats and gave them to Uncle Zhang, "You try them, my loquats are delicious too." "Then let me try them," Uncle Zhang took the loquats with a smile, gave one to his wife, and peeled the other one for himself.
The loquat tasted sweet and sour, and was juicy. Uncle Zhang gave Yang Fan a thumbs up while eating.
Really delicious!
Amazing! How does this little girl grow fruits? Why are all of them so delicious!
"I want to weigh two kilograms... Hey? Your fruit is from Uehara Village?!"
Inadvertently, Uncle Zhang glanced at the inconspicuous piece of paper and saw the words "Shangyuan Village" on it.
He was stunned for a moment, "Which Uehara Village are you from?"
Yang Fan said: "It's Shangyuan Village in this town."
Uncle Zhang said anxiously, "Is it the Uehara Village that was able to grow crops before but was able to grow crops again not long ago?!"
Yang Fan nodded, it was Shangyuan Village.
Oh my god! I was wondering why this fruit is so delicious, it turns out it’s from Uehara Village!
"Uncle, have you also heard of the fruits of my boss's family?" Xiao Lin asked with a smile when she saw his reaction.
Zhang Shu nodded vigorously. Of course he had heard of the fruits in Shangyuan Village, but he had never eaten them. I heard that they cost 61 kilograms!
They were too busy to buy it before, and 61 kilograms of fruit was a bit too expensive, so they were a bit reluctant to eat it.
So I have never eaten it.
No wonder they put up a purchase limit. Uncle Zhang suddenly understood. If there were no purchase limit for such delicious and cheap fruit, it would have been bought up quickly.
Aunt Wang also came over, her face full of surprise. She didn't expect that the fruit owner in Shangyuan Village was such a young girl.
The older sister who sold children's clothing and the stall owners around gathered together. Many of them, like Uncle Zhang and his wife, were not from the town, so some had heard of the fruits from Shangyuan Village while some had not.
The lady selling children's clothes had never heard of the fruits from Shangyuan Village. It was her first time to set up a stall selling clothes in Shaping Town.
Uncle Zhang vividly and emotionally explained to them the fruits of Shangyuan Village, and also told them that he had heard that the loquats from Yang Fan's family could cure colds.
Fruit can cure colds, is this true or false?
They didn't quite believe what Uncle Zhang said, and some even suspected that Uncle Zhang was hired by Yang Fan.
It doesn’t matter if they don’t believe it. The taste of fruit cannot be faked. Yang Fan enthusiastically gave them a plum or bayberry to taste.
Regardless of whether it can cure colds, the fruit's perfect and impeccable taste alone immediately conquered the surrounding stall owners.
"It's really delicious. Please weigh two kilograms for me," asked a young girl in her twenties who was the owner of the sausage stand opposite. "Can grapes, bayberries, and cherries be mixed together?"
She started eating before her stall even opened. The little girl almost wanted to laugh when she thought about it.
"Today's fruit stew is at ten yuan per pound. It has every kind of fruit," Yang Fan explained to them.
The little girl nodded repeatedly, saying that this was good because it would allow her to eat every kind of fruit.
Other stall owners also asked for two kilograms.
Yang Fan packed them in bags with a smile, and Xiao Lin weighed them and collected the money.
When Yan Qing and his friends came back from eating noodles, they saw them busying around and quickly joined in to help.
Yang Fan and Yan Qing packed the fruits, while Xiao Lin and Tang Yuanyuan were responsible for weighing them.
