513 Like Newborn Infants
The group entered the Sweet Dew Fruit Store through the side door. Although there were many customers inside, it was not crowded at all.
When Mars, Ruth, and the others saw the fruits and vegetables on the shelves, they felt shocked and their eyes almost popped out.
Ruth shook Qin Xi’s arm in disbelief and said incoherently, “Qin, am I seeing things? Is that red and round thing an apple? I remember that apples aren’t that big. No, this one is even bigger than my head. How did this apple grow? Oh no, what did I see? Is that a lychee? I remember that lychees don’t grow in winter. Also, this lychee… is too big!”
Ruth was overwhelmed by what she was seeing. She felt that her eyes and brain couldn’t adapt to what she was seeing, especially when she saw the fist-sized grape being sold.
Qin Xi was not surprised. “Yes, it’s an apple. Calm down. It’s just a little bigger than usual. As for lychees, we have lychees all year round.”
“How is that possible?” Ruth covered her mouth in disbelief.
When the others saw this, they were all dumbfounded. One of the foreigners pointed at the potatoes on the shelf and asked, “Qin, which watermelon is it? Why haven’t I seen it before?”
Xia Tangxin burst out laughing, looking very cute. When Mars saw her smile, his heart beat even faster.
“That’s not a watermelon. That’s a potato.”
“What about that one? The thick, long, and orange one?” Someone wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and asked.
Xia Tangxin suppressed her laughter and said, “That’s a carrot. It’s very sweet and can be eaten as fruit.”
“I know that. That’s a tomato. Oh my god, this is the largest tomato I’ve ever seen. Qin, can you tell me how these huge… uh, fruits and vegetables grow? Are the trees that grow these fruits also very big and tall?”
“Not really. They’re just a little bigger than other trees.” Qin Xi did not say much and changed the topic. “How about this? I’ll go get some fruits for you to try.”
Before leaving, she said to Xia Tangxin, “Help me take care of these overseas friends. I’ll go get some fruits to quench their thirst.”
“Alright, we’ll go upstairs and wait for you first.”
Xia Tangxin brought the group of blond-haired and blue-eyed overseas people upstairs. When they passed by the shelves, they looked like they were newborn infants, in awe at the world.
When they arrived at the office upstairs, it was quite spacious. The interior was also designed by Qin Xi. It was simple and clean, making people feel relaxed just looking at it.
Just as they were chatting, Qin Xi asked a few assistants to bring the sliced fruits upstairs. The fragrance of the fruits filled the entire space, making people salivate.
Seeing that they were drooling over the fruits but no one dared to touch them, Qin Xi raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, eat them. These fruits are definitely not poisonous. They’re grown with chemicals. They’re healthy and green. It’s safe to eat.”
As she spoke, she picked up a cherry and took a small bite. Immediately, blood-red juice spewed out into her mouth. The refreshing fragrance made her close her eyes in satisfaction.
Seeing this, everyone’s appetite increased greatly. They couldn’t help but reach out to touch the fruits they liked.
When they took a bite, they were blown away, and the entire world was filled with gorgeous colors.
