Chapter 6 I have a refrigerator at home

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

On the north side is the Baifu Building, which houses several Fortune 500 companies, on the south side are top office buildings such as Chaowai SOHO, World Trade Center, and Fortune Shopping Center, and on the west side is the Blue Island Building (Yanjing), which just opened in June.

The largest shopping mall), on the east side is Tuanjie Lake Park, and several high-end residential areas.

"As expected of the capital city, there isn't even a building with more than 6 floors in Dazhangzi. The place is already full of high-end office buildings."

Cao Chunyuan had been active at the train station and farmer's market, and spent most of her time in Phoenix Space. Therefore, her impression of Yanjing in the 1990s was somewhat one-sided.

After arriving at the most developed central business district in Yanjing, Cao Chunyuan couldn't help but sigh that the capital is worthy of being 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 the homemade flatbed truck she borrowed from someone at the farmer's market. After neatly arranging the packaged strawberries, she pulled the flatbed truck and headed straight to the downstairs of Baifu Building.

"High-quality strawberries, 15 yuan per pound, 30 yuan per box~"

"Handsome guy, do you want to buy some strawberries? It's 30 yuan a box. I guarantee you'll want to eat them again."

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

"What the hell, if you don't want to buy it, don't buy it. I won't eat you, so why are you running away?"

The bad start did not break Cao Chunyuan's confidence. She found a shady place on the edge of the square below the building and continued shouting.

"High-quality strawberries, 30 yuan per box. Full of 2 pounds, no bully!"

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."

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

"She's really beautiful."

Although Cao Chunyuan had passed the CET-4 and CET-6 exams through the question bank, she could 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."

"Do you know English?" William, who had blond hair and blue eyes, looked at Cao Chunyuan who walked up to him in surprise and asked in Chinese with a strange tone.

"Is English difficult?"

Cao Chunyuan raised her head and looked at the man in front of her who was a head taller than her very proudly.

As a northern girl, Cao Chunyuan is not short. Although she has not been measured, she must be over 1.7 meters. But the two foreigners in front of her are both very tall, and they are conservatively estimated to be 1.9 meters.

"You, uh, um, you don't look like someone who is very good at English."

William stuttered for a long time and gave an explanation that was not very clear.

Cao Chunyuan knew in her heart that the other party saw that she was dressed cheaply, and since she was selling fruit here, she did not look like someone with a higher education.

"You don't have to worry about whether my English is good or not, but it's not the behavior of gentlemen to discuss girls behind their backs."

William's face turned red with embarrassment. This was his first time being taught by a Chinese girl younger than him. Fortunately, his companions reacted quickly and helped him ease the embarrassing situation in front of him.

"Ma'am, I'm very sorry. To express my apology, how about we buy two boxes of strawberries?"

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

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

"Okay, 30 yuan per box, which is much cheaper than the special strawberries you usually buy, but the taste is better."

As Cao Chunyuan spoke, she walked towards her flatbed truck. The two international friends followed Cao Chunyuan very consciously.

"Here, 60 yuan."

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

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

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

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

"David, that girl must be a liar. The special strawberries Sophia usually eats cost more than 30 yuan per pound, but her two pounds only cost 30 yuan. It's obvious that they are fake."

David rolled his eyes at William angrily, wondering if you were discussing them behind their backs, would they come to your door?

Just think of it as a lesson learned so that you won't be unable to control your mouth in the future.

"She seems to be very kind. She shouldn't lie to others."

"she"

William wanted to say that the girl had a good mouth and was very eloquent. But when he thought of her delicate little face and clear eyes, he couldn't say anything.

"Oh, forget it, just send it to Sophia. She loves this kind of food."

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

"High-quality strawberries, 15 yuan per catty, 30 yuan per box, free trial, no money if they are not sweet!"

Downstairs, Cao Chunyuan changed her marketing strategy. She opened two boxes of strawberries so that passersby could see the quality of the strawberries. She also cut two strawberries with a knife so that everyone could see the plump and juicy pulp.

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

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

Cao Chunyuan glanced at the man who was talking and saw that he was well-dressed and didn't look like the kind of person who doesn't want a certain organ of the human body. She 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 lie to you and you won't be able to eat the strawberries?"

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

In an instant, a unique sweetness of strawberries that he had never experienced before exploded in his mouth. It was also accompanied by a hint of sourness, which made his mouth wet and left him with endless aftertaste.

"It tastes really good. Bring me two boxes."

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

"OK."

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

"Really or not, it's not singing and acting, right?"

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

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

"Bring me 5 boxes."

"5 boxes?"

Cao Chunyuan looked at the other party in surprise. You must know that it is 1993, and the salary of ordinary workers in Yanjing is only 300 to 400 yuan. Only in high-end office buildings in Yanjing business district, the wages of these urban white-collar workers are measured in thousands.

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

The woman waved her hand casually, as if it was just 5 boxes of strawberries, what's the big deal? I have a refrigerator at home, so I can eat it whenever I want.

"Uh, a total of 150 yuan."

The corner of Cao Chunyuan's mouth twitched, and she silently complained in her heart, what's so great about having a refrigerator at home?

I have also used a double-door freezer + refrigeration + quick freezing + soft freezing cabinet refrigerator. Am I showing off?
