"Selling orange juice?" Sun Xinmin and Cai Qianjin were stunned at the same time. This answer was completely beyond their expectations.

Li Weidong nodded: "We just sell orange juice, squeezed and sold now, absolutely fresh. However, the stall has just been set up today, and the sales have not started yet, and the oranges have not been shipped yet. If the leaders want to drink orange juice, they have to wait until tomorrow.

Come back when the exhibition officially begins.

Sun Xinmin looked confused, while Cai Qianjin snorted coldly: "Li Weidong, don't deceive the leader!"

"How dare I!" Li Weidong smiled, pointed to a stall not far away that had not yet officially opened, and said, "Look at that, it's my stall."

Everyone looked in the direction Li Weidong pointed, and sure enough they saw a signboard with English and German words on it. In English it said "freshly squeezed orange juice", but in German they didn't recognize it.

So Sun Xinmin asked the translator beside him: "What does that mean in German?"

"It's the same as English, it means freshly squeezed orange juice." The translator answered.

Sun Xinmin glanced at Li Weidong in confusion and thought, is this Li Weidong really here to sell orange juice?

Cai Qianjin didn't believe that Li Weidong was here to sell orange juice. He immediately said: "Li Weidong, what on earth are you playing?"

"Playing tricks? I'm selling orange juice, so how come I'm just playing tricks?" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"You came all the way to Cologne, Germany, just to sell orange juice? Who would believe it?" Cai Jinjin curled his lips.

"German orange juice is expensive and makes a lot of money. Why can't I come? Anyway, I have set up a stall. As for whether you believe it or not, that's your business." Li Weidong retorted.

Cai Qianjin snorted coldly: "You must have some conspiracy. I have to say something ugly in front of you. Don't do anything embarrassing and damaging to the national dignity. We won't help you wipe your ass then!"

Li Weidong also snorted coldly: "Wang Cai, you should take care of your own business and stop meddling in other people's business!"

"My surname is Cai, and my name is Cai Qianjin!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Sun Xinmin quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, stop saying a few words!"

Then Sun Xinmin turned to look at Li Weidong and asked: "Director Li, to be honest, I don't believe you are here to buy orange juice. If you have any other arrangements, I hope you can tell me in advance."

"Leader, for now, I'm just here to sell orange juice." Li Weidong chuckled and said, "Leader, please don't worry, if there is any emergency, I will report it to the leader in time!"

Sun Xinmin knew that Li Weidong was trying to hide his identity and deliberately did not reveal the truth to him.

However, for now, Li Weidong insists that he is here to sell orange juice, and Sun Xinmin really has no choice.

Sun Xinmin had no choice but to say, "Okay, Director Li, if anything happens, we will communicate in time. In addition, I would like to emphasize that since we are outside the country, we represent the image of the country. I hope you don't do it."

Something too outrageous happened.”

"I just sell orange juice. The price is clearly marked. It is squeezed and sold now. What extraordinary things can I do!" Li Weidong replied with a smile.

…

Sun Xinmin and others left the leisure area.

Cai Qianjin was still reluctant and said, "Leader, Li Weidong is definitely not here to sell orange juice. We can't just let it go!"

"I also know that he is not here to sell orange juice, but he insists that he is here to sell orange juice. What can we do to him? Can our Ministry of Foreign Trade control imports and exports? Can we also control people who come to Germany to set up stalls and sell drinks?

?" Sun Xinmin curled his lips.

"But Li Weidong is unorganized and undisciplined, and he does it without authorization..." Cai Qianjin wanted to speak again.

"What is it without permission? Setting up a stall without authorization?" Sun Xinmin frowned, and then said: "If he came to the exhibition and did not report to the ministry, that would be wrong. But now he is here to set up a stall, is it possible that you still

Are you going to knock down someone else’s stall?”

Sun Xinmin said, glared at Cai Qianjin, and then said: "I'm talking to Director Cai, how long have you known Li Weidong, why are you always holding on to his affairs?"

"I have known him for several years." Cai Qianjin replied subconsciously.

"How many years? But he doesn't seem to remember you, and he even recognized you as Wang Cai." Sun Xinmin said, shaking his head and thinking to himself: "Who is this Wang Cai?

Wang Cai, this name sounds so weird!"

…

Looking at Sun Xinmin's retreating back, Li Weidong showed an expression of relief on his face.

"As I expected, this Cai Qianjin is here to cause trouble!" Li Weidong looked back at his stall, with a ray of confidence in his eyes.

"But it doesn't matter, the exhibition will start tomorrow, and I will be the most handsome kid in this leisure area by then!"

The reason why Li Weidong is so confident is that he knows how much Europeans like orange juice. For many people in European countries, it is impossible to live without orange juice.

Europeans like to drink a glass of milk at breakfast, but in addition to milk, Europeans are also used to drinking a glass of orange juice.

European and American countries have a special preference for oranges. The Dutch, in particular, even have a fanatical worship of oranges.

During World War II, Germany bombed the British mainland. Due to the shortage of supplies, Britain had to adopt a rationing system. Under the rationing system, fruit became a rare commodity, and the only fruit available at that time was oranges.

At that time, the British even stipulated that children could eat an orange every day. Imagine that the supply of oranges had to be guaranteed even during the bombing. It can be said that oranges have become a necessity of British life.

The British also brought the habit of eating oranges to the colonies. In past Hong Kong dramas and prison-themed movies, it was often seen that prisoners were given an orange each when eating. This is obviously a British food habit.

The reason why Europeans have the habit of eating oranges is mainly due to Europe's colonial history.

In the Age of Discovery, the most terrifying thing for sailors sailing at sea was not bad weather or elusive pirates, but scurvy, also known as septicemia.

The sailors at that time lived in cramped cabins and ate bacon and biscuits for many years. Due to lack of vitamins in their bodies, they were prone to scurvy.

It was not until later that oranges were introduced, which successfully solved the problem of easily contracting scurvy during navigation.

Later, Europe began to colonize the world, and it was normal for a round trip to the colonies to take several months.

As a result, oranges began to be popularized on a large scale. From a life-saving tool for sailors to fight sepsis, they gradually became a necessity in the daily lives of ordinary people.

Of course, there is another reason why oranges taste quite good after being squeezed. Even sour oranges will be easier to swallow after the juice is squeezed. The juice from sweeter oranges is even more delicious.

…

Germany is the most technologically advanced country in Europe, and Cologne is also a famous exhibition city. Therefore, the Home Appliances Show in Cologne attracted many merchants to visit. In addition to local merchants in Europe, there were also merchants from the United States and the Middle East.

.

Exhibitions held in Europe are not simply shows of goods, but more like large-scale entertainment carnivals.

In addition to product exhibitions, there are also various experiential activities, awards activities, celebrity panels, new product launches, and even entertainment performances.

Li Weidong waited quietly in the leisure area. He knew that the exhibition had just begun and there would be no guests coming to the leisure area. After a while, the merchants would come to the leisure area to eat and drink when they were tired of shopping.

Sure enough, after more than an hour, the number of guests in the leisure area gradually increased.

Coffee and Coke are popular drinks. In addition, some people also order a glass of beer. After all, German beer is very famous.

Li Weidong's freshly squeezed juice is relatively expensive. Several people passing by looked at the price and finally turned away and bought a can of Fanta.

Fanta was originally an orange-flavored soda launched by Coca-Cola in Europe, so the original Fanta was also developed based on the European taste, so Europeans are still very accustomed to the taste of Fanta.

After a while, Li Weidong finally welcomed his first customer, who was a German. Li Weidong did not understand German, so he could only stand aside and watch while the hired part-time college student received the customer.

The part-time college student cut an orange, took half of it and pressed it on the juicer. The motor of the juicer rotated and the pulp was quickly squeezed into juice.

Seeing this scene, the German guest suddenly looked surprised, and then stared at the part-time college student's operation intently.

Li Weidong said to the part-time college student in English: "Tell him that if he is interested, he can try it with his own hands and squeeze a glass of juice for himself."

Before the part-time college student could translate, the guest said, "I can understand English!"

Then the customer pointed to the juicer and asked, "Can I try it myself?"

"Of course, but for food safety, you have to drink the juice you squeeze out." Li Weidong said with a smile.

"No problem!" The guest looked eager to try.

Li Weidong handed the guest half a piece of orange juice, then pointed at the orange juice machine and said: "Use this orange, aim at this bump, and press it down. Yes, don't use too much force."

Under Li Weidong's guidance, the customer quickly squeezed out a glass of juice.

"Haha, it's so interesting. I didn't expect it to be so simple. I can get a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and I made it myself!"

The guest took the orange juice and left with satisfaction.

This guest's act of squeezing orange juice by himself caught the attention of other people around him, and several people suddenly showed expressions of eagerness to try.

After a while, a young man came over and said, "I want a glass of orange juice. Can I squeeze it myself?"

"Of course!" Li Weidong nodded.

The young man soon tasted the orange juice he squeezed.

"How does it taste?" someone next to me asked.

"It tastes great!" the young man replied without hesitation.

It's hard to say whether this orange juice tastes sweet or not, but the orange juice you squeeze out by yourself is certainly not unpleasant to drink. Even if it is bitter, it must be said to be extremely delicious.

Immediately afterwards, three people gathered around Li Weidong's stall.

"I want a glass of orange juice, I want to squeeze it myself!"

"I want a cup too, and I want to squeeze it myself."

"Me too!"

Li Weidong nodded: "No problem."

Li Weidong took out two other orange juice machines and placed them in front of the three of them.

At the same time, other curious people also gathered around.

People are like this. When they see others playing new things, they always want to try it themselves.

For example, if you see others playing games, you can't help but play with them, and you may even feel in your heart that I am definitely better than him!

What’s more, this is an exhibition!

A major feature of the exhibition is that in addition to viewing the exhibits on the stand, you can also go up and experience them in person.

Except for car models of course.

Li Weidong's orange juice machine takes advantage of this, allowing customers to personally experience the process of squeezing juice, which will definitely attract many customers to participate.

And the method of squeezing orange juice is very simple, just hold a piece of orange and press it lightly on the juicer.

The key is that the juice you squeeze out by yourself must be good no matter how bad it tastes. No one will belittle the fruits of their labor.

This also created a good reputation. Everyone said it was good, and naturally more and more people gathered here.

Li Weidong simply arranged the orange juice machines in a row, and only provided cut oranges, allowing customers to squeeze their own juice. The customers were also very motivated to squeeze a glass of orange juice for themselves.

In the blink of an eye, "freshly squeezed orange juice" turned into a buffet!

…

Cai Qianjin always kept Li Weidong in mind. He knew that Li Weidong was definitely not here to sell orange juice, but Cai Qianjin could not imagine what Li Weidong might have planned.

So Cai Qianjin simply put down the work at hand and ran to the leisure area to see what tricks Li Weidong was playing.

As soon as he entered the leisure area, Cai Qianjin was startled. He saw a long queue in front of Li Weidong's orange juice stall, all of whom seemed to be waiting to buy orange juice.

"So many people come to buy orange juice? Is orange juice so easy to sell? At this rate, we can sell thousands of glasses of orange juice a day, right? How much money do we need to make?"

Cai Jinjin was a little confused. He simply walked to the end of the queue and asked a middle-aged man who was waiting in line: "Hello, do you speak English?"

"I will." The other party nodded.

"Excuse me, what are you waiting in line to buy?" Cai Qianjin asked again.

"Orange juice!" The man pointed to the sign and continued, "Freshly squeezed orange juice."

"How does it taste?" Cai Qianjin said subconsciously.

"Of course it tastes great, otherwise why would so many people buy it?" the man replied.

"Thank you." Cai Qianjin thanked the man, then stood aside and watched from a distance.

Cai Qianjin wanted to go to the stall to find out what was going on, but seeing so many people queuing up, he was too embarrassed to go forward.

"This Li Weidong, set up a stall, and the business is so good!" Cai Qianjin felt sour in his heart.

He waited and watched for a long time, but found that the number of people in line did not get smaller, but more and more.

"Is this Li Weidong really here to sell orange juice?" Cai Qianjin couldn't help but complain.
