After hesitating for a long time, Mother Qiu determined that the "fat baby" would not open her eyes, and then she held it in her palm and looked at it carefully. She only felt that the melon was not only lifelike, but also natural, without the slightest trace of carving, and it was born like this. .
This is really God, is it, as the children say, is a melon essence
Otherwise, if it grows like this naturally, how hard it would be.
After Qiu's mother was amazed, she remembered that the other party had sent a total of three boxes, saying that there were melons and apples. She quickly opened the other two, and saw that one of them also contained a melon in the shape of an almost identical doll, and the other was an apple. It's not an ordinary apple with the word "Fu" on it!
Mother Qiu took a closer look, and the word "blessing" was also natural, and the color was much lighter than the color next to it.
This one after another is no coincidence, it must be a rare breed.
Didn't it say that the child who gave the gift was a Miao from Guizhou? Those Miao people are very mysterious, maybe they are the rare things they found in the deep mountains.
Thinking of this, Mother Qiu felt that the box of cakes that the children returned as gifts was a little light, and she was uneasy, wondering if she should make up some more next time.
When Qiu Dafu saw that the apple had his own name on it, he was surprised and delighted, "Auntie, can I eat this?"
"Don't eat it for now, okay? Look, this melon and fruit looks so special. Let's take it back and show it to Aon."
Mother Qiu coaxed the children gently, and did not dare to ask them to eat for a while, so she went back and asked someone with knowledge.
When Qiu Dafu heard it, he was also inspired and decided to show it to his classmates when he went back. If he said empty-handedly that Shi Gaobi had given him a gift, no one would believe him, and he would have to show evidence.
Mother Qiu took it back and showed it to her family, but no one recognized it, and some neighbors also came to identify it. They were also shocked. Some timid people saw it and thought it was alive, so they were so scared that they backed away. gas to go.
Qiu Dafu still wanted to take it to Guozi School, but now the Qiu family will not let him take it out, so as not to scare people again.
Suddenly, rumors spread that the Qiu family really picked up a pair of melon essences.
There are many wonders in the world. Hehua fish can become refined, and melon can naturally become refined.
Someone in Beijing joked, I don’t know what this refined melon looks like, but I am more curious. Now that the melon is the number one melon, it has been beaten by the watermelon. Can the melon essence surpass the watermelon? If not, what is the use of becoming a fine!
…
At this time, Yun Yanhui's family was still on vacation in Puguanze. A few days later, Xiaobao, who was on vacation, and Zheng Ling, who had finished his work, also came. Zheng Ling also brought some colleagues from the painting academy, all of whom were acquaintances, to study murals and draw comics with him.
Zheng Ling originally thought that he could spend his days leisurely after he came, but he didn't want Yun Yan to come back and not let him be idle at all.
There are also many gourds in the manor, which are very valuable and can be sold for a lot of money in the market.
But Yun Yanhui didn't plan to compete for this market. He had already asked Zhuangtou to dry the gourd. This time, he wanted to ask Zheng Ling to make the gourd into a handicraft.
Craft gourds have flooded many tourist attractions in later generations, but no one has made gourds into decorations at this time. The homophonic gourd is Fulu, and it also symbolizes multiple characters, which has a very good meaning. After carving and depicting, it is a very good decoration.
The key point is that it is in line with the positioning of Taozhiyao Fruit and Vegetable Store, which sells fruits and vegetables that are not popular.
Zheng Ling could not sculpt, but Yun Yan called him back to design the pattern. When it comes to sculpting, he can naturally find another craftsman.
There are also small gourds, and they can be made into Wenwan gourds for people to play with, which is beneficial to health.
Because Yun Yanhui is not a professional, it also requires indigenous craftsmen to improve the production method according to his ideas.
While concentrating on the study of gourd carving and the production of Wenwan gourd, Yunyan recovered a letter, which turned out to be from Zhao Youwu.
"Senior brother, I heard that the melon essence appeared in Beijing recently. I was very curious. It was passed that the owner of the melon essence entered the palace and learned that a pair of melon essence and apples with the character were given by Brother Tiger. Brother, may I ask if the melon essence is you? Did you plant it?? I want it too!"
Yun Yan took a brief look and fainted, "What the hell!"
Zheng Ling was working with the craftsman to carve a hollow gourd according to the pattern. Hearing Yun Yanhui's voice, he leaned over and said, "Did your Highness say anything excessive?"
Yun Yan read the letter back to him, and said with a dark face: "Who gave the name of my ginseng fruit to the melon essence?"
Zheng Ling laughed out loud, "This name is rather playful, it's much more down-to-earth than ginseng fruit. Isn't the reason you choose a cheap name like ginseng fruit just to make it more expensive? This melon essence isn't bad. Speaking of which, it's the same as Wang Qingyu!"
"Fuck you!" Yun Yan scolded back to the black line, "How can it be the same?"
And the name of ginseng fruit has an allusion... Although there is no big IP blessing of "Journey to the West", maybe it will give inspiration to "Journey to the West" in the future
Now it's called Melon Essence, and it feels like it has dropped a lot in one fell swoop!
Yun Yanhui felt the crisis and said, "No, we have to hurry to market in advance, otherwise the melon essence will spread."
Fortunately, there were already a lot of ripe melons at this time, so Yun Yanhui hurriedly went to tell Shuangyi, and talked about the seriousness of the matter. In the end, everyone agreed to open the fruit and vegetable shop ahead of schedule.
- Of course, before that, you still have to send a batch to the palace to honor the official family.
…
When Taozhiyao's branch selling fruits and vegetables opened, it received a lot of attention because it was based on the popularity of the previous store.
- In fact, it is not. With these two fruits, it will be a matter of time to become famous.
A few days ago, there was still a rumor about the Qiu family's melon essence, and everyone said it vividly, as if they really saw it. This time, "melon essence" really appeared in Taozhiyao, which immediately attracted the crowd of citizens one after another.
It is really melon essence, and there are not only a pair, but a row! All of them are naive, with chubby faces, chubby bodies, and even the corners of the lips with a smile.
There are also those apples with long characters, with all kinds of auspicious words, and the natural color is slightly lighter, which is really amazing!
Whenever anyone comes to see, whether they buy it or not, the shopkeeper will eloquently promote their "ginseng fruit" here, boasting of various magical origins. There is also a pictorial posted in the store, if you can read it, you can read it yourself.
Don't say, many people believe it, because I have never seen a melon and fruit grow like this. Whether it is a local native or a foreign national, no one can tell the story, so naturally they can only believe the shopkeeper's words.
However, after the citizens of Bianjing accepted this, another trouble followed...
Seeing someone looking at the ginseng fruits on the shelf, the shopkeeper walked over and introduced them kindly: "Look, our ginseng fruits..."
Interrupted by the guest, "Isn't this melon essence?"
The shopkeeper: "It's ginseng fruit! This ginseng fruit is full of the essence of the sun and the moon, so it looks like this!"
"Well, does it still taste like melon? Not too old?"
Shopkeeper: "Absolutely not!"
"Then bring me a melon essence!"
Shopkeeper: "... ginseng fruit."
The shopkeeper was very depressed. He found that no matter how he explained and recommended it to customers, the brand that said ginseng fruit was written very large, and people still called it melon essence.
Even when many merchants came here, they all named me to buy "melon essence". When everyone was talking about business, it was inevitable that they would be affected. In the end, the shopkeeper himself couldn't help calling melon essence.
The name melon essence is too brainwashed, it is much easier to spread than ginseng fruit.
- Rao is so, no one really thinks that this is a spirit monster. After all, there are so many quantities, and it is not particularly expensive to sell (emphasis).
More people believe that this is a unique variety, and some people think that it really absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. No matter what kind, it is not wrong to scream melon essence for this appearance, right
Seeing that the whole city was calling melon essence, the shopkeeper had to go to the owner with a bitter face to plead guilty, failing to promote the official name of ginseng fruit.
Shuang Yi was quite open, comforting Yun Yan Hui who was a little frustrated: "Brother Yan, everyone is screaming melon essence and melon essence. In fact, many people have the urge to eat it instead of offering it there."
There is no basis for saying this. After all, the name "ginseng fruit" has never been popular, but Yun Yanhui can only accept this comfort, "Okay... Sigh! I don't know who came up with this name!"
…
Compared with "Wangqingyu", Hehuayu first has opera before it is nicknamed, but this melon essence is reversed.
When the melon essence appeared on the market and quickly became famous, some people compiled the melon essence into the story soon after, which was very advanced with the times. The story that Yun Yanhui was too embarrassed to make up was made up.
These book clubs imitated the structure of "The Fish of Hope", and compiled a book: Someone received a melon as a gift, but he didn't eat it because his family was poor. Unexpectedly, there is a little monster in the melon, who often accompanies the little master to play, and also makes the fruits and vegetables grown in their home delicious.
The host gradually found out that something was wrong, so he secretly hid outside the door, only to find that the melon jumped out of the fruit bowl, playing with the little host, and he would clean up after playing. Seeing this, the owner thought that Melon was a good fairy, so they didn't find anyone to catch the monster.
When the family was in danger, it was the melon spirit who helped. Someone wanted to take possession of the melon spirit, and the host family desperately protected each other. Later, the melon essence settled in the yard, and the host family gradually made money selling fruit, and the two families were friendly for generations.
This is not a love story, but an interesting age-oriented story, which should be more about friendship, loyalty and other elements.
It can't be said that it is the charm of the story itself, or the popularity of the melon essence. This story has also become popular in the market.
As another major brand of Taozhiyao at present, those apples with the word "Fu" are collectively referred to as "Fu Apple" because the apples with the word "Fu" are sold the most. So amazing.
This is only relative. In fact, it is also loved by the majority of the people, but it is relatively late.
It is very unconventional to choose the last apple with blessings and send it as one of the gifts when visiting or visiting relatives.
Because there are many choices of words, no matter what kind of gift object, you can find the corresponding one. After the listing, a customized service was launched.
At this time, people are not afraid to wait, and many products need to wait. They customized the words, and then Taozhiyao made special models and cultivated apples until they were mature. This service was very popular, and gradually formed a knowledge.
Compared with the first fire of melon essence, it was sold out every time it was listed at the beginning, and the supply was in short supply. The business of Fuzi apples has a long flow and long stamina. In addition, the output of apples is large, so the sales volume and customer base are very stable. .
Yun Yanhui struggled at the beginning, but as time went on, he found that he was basically the only one who still called it ginseng fruit, so he could only say to Shuang Yi in a sullen voice: "Forget it, you can change the brand too. Become melon essence... ╥﹏╥”
