Chu Jiao was enjoying eating watermelon on the deserted planet. On the blue planet, Chu's father brought all the fruits and vegetables to the small supermarket. He brought two baskets of watermelon and melon, and placed them directly on the open space that the supermarket had prepared in advance. The radishes and cabbages were also placed directly on the baskets. There were two rows of fruits and vegetables in total, and a pot of strawberries was placed directly on the table next to the cashier.

For now, let's put it like this. Dad Chu has already ordered shelves specifically for fruits and vegetables, but it will probably take a few days to arrive. The interest classes upstairs in the supermarket have moved out, so the entire second floor is empty.

Dad Chu plans to take some time in the next two days to tidy up and clean up. Then he can let his daughter put the fruits that are easy to store upstairs.

Just as Dad Chu put his things in place and sat down to rest, the owner of the breakfast shop across from the supermarket came to visit.

"Old Chu, have you started selling fruits? I saw you brought in some watermelons, they look pretty fresh, and some strawberries, big ones like this."

"They are all grown by my relatives in the countryside. They are all organic fruits without any pesticides. They taste very good. I brought some here to sell." Seeing that it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, Dad Chu picked up a watermelon and cut it. As soon as the watermelon was cut, a fresh fragrance wafted out. Dad Chu cut half of the watermelon into small pieces and gave some to several nearby stores.

"Lao Chu, your watermelon is delicious, give me one." The owner of the breakfast shop ate a piece of watermelon and was still not satisfied. In the summer, people who make breakfast in front of the hot stove every day will get irritated. Eating this watermelon will make people feel cool.

Many working people like to go to the market to buy vegetables and cook dinner at this time. The supermarket is on the way to the market. Several people came in at the door smelling the watermelon. Dad Chu cut the remaining half of the watermelon he had just cut for them to try.

Grandma Zhang's granddaughter loves to eat strawberries. When she saw the big, red strawberries, she wanted to buy some, but she was worried that they had grown so big with drugs. She was very conflicted.

"All our fruits are organic and have never been treated with pesticides. Don't worry. My shop has been open for several years. It's not a roadside stall. If you have any questions, come to me."

"Okay, how much is one pound? I'll buy some. My granddaughter loves strawberries, and my daughter-in-law loves melons. This radish is also quite fresh, so I'll buy one to try."

"How much is a pound of watermelon?" "How about this melon?" "The cabbage and radish look fresh, how much is a pound?"

"Strawberries are ten yuan a pound, watermelons are three and a half yuan, cantaloupes are ten yuan, and cabbages and radishes are one yuan each. They're all organic and grown by my relatives. You can try them at home and come back if you like them."

In one hour, Dad Chu sold a basket of watermelons. Almost all the people who had eaten watermelons in the surrounding shops came to buy watermelons. Half a basket of melons was sold, half a basin of strawberries was left, and half a basket of cabbage and radish were also sold. That’s it for today. No more goods. Tomorrow morning, my family will bring some to replenish the stock.

When Dad Chu was tidying up the shelves, Mom Chu called to ask him when he would be home for dinner. Dad Chu thought that he had to close the store late today, and the watermelons wouldn't go bad if left until tomorrow. He also had half a basin of strawberries that he was afraid would go bad, so he decided to see if he could sell them today. So he asked Mom Chu to bring him some food to eat at the supermarket.

After eating at home, Chu's mother packed up the food and came over. "You go and eat, I'll watch for a while."

While Dad Chu was eating, Mom Chu went to see the fruits on display.

"How many watermelons did you bring today? Why are all the others half baskets, but only the watermelons are full baskets?"

"There are two baskets, and one has already been sold. I cut a piece for them to taste. Most of those who tried it bought it. Some thought the whole one was too big to finish, so they shared one among a few people. I still have half a basin of strawberries left. I'll see if I can sell it all tonight. If not, I'll eat it myself. If I keep it here, it will definitely go bad tomorrow. The rest can be kept for two days."

"There are two pots of strawberries in the living room. If it doesn't work at night, just turn down the air conditioner in the living room. It should be fine by tomorrow."

As they were talking, Chu's mother's phone rang. It was her poker friend calling, "Sister Wang, do you still have that watermelon? One watermelon is not enough for us."

"Yes, yes, but you have to come to our supermarket to get it yourself. We don't have time to send it to the chess and card room."

"Okay, I'll go over there later. I'll have to take it home after I deliver it to the chess and card room."

Then Chu Ma’s poker friends group became lively, and they all came to Chu Ma to ask about watermelons. Chu Ma sent the location of her own supermarket to the group, and asked everyone to come to the supermarket to pick up the watermelons.

"A lot of people asked me for watermelon, and I asked them to come to the supermarket." Chu's mother was very happy. Her daughter's watermelon was very popular. The strawberries were also delicious. She ate a plate of them at home and went out. The melon was also delicious. Her daughter is so amazing. Everything she grows is so delicious.

"There's only one basket of watermelon left. I'm going home now and bringing two more baskets."

"Can you move it by yourself? Do you want me to help you?"

"No, there's a cart in the supermarket. I'll take two empty baskets home with me and put the watermelons in the empty baskets and push them over. You don't have to move them. I just put them here like that."

"Okay, go ahead, I'll watch here."

Not long after Dad Chu left, Grandma Zhang came over with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

"The boss is not here," Grandma Zhang asked as she entered the room.

"I'm going home to get some watermelon. I'll be right back."

"I'm here to buy some more strawberries and melons. Your strawberries and melons are so delicious. And radishes. My granddaughter ate a bowl of rice with the radishes I cooked today."

In the evening, Grandma Zhang bought some strawberries and melons, and also bought a radish to braise in the evening. When she got home, she washed a few strawberries for her granddaughter. When she finished cooking, her granddaughter had finished eating and still asked her for more. Grandma Zhang was afraid that her granddaughter would eat too much and not be able to finish dinner, so she didn't dare to give her any.

When Grandma Zhang's daughter-in-law came home from get off work and saw such big strawberries, she complained that her mother-in-law bought fruits for her daughter indiscriminately. She thought that such big strawberries must have been grown with growth enhancers. When she ate roasted radish for dinner, she felt that the meat on the table was not fragrant. She always disliked the smell of radish. This radish had no taste at all and had a sweet taste. My daughter never liked to eat vegetables, but today she only focused on eating radish and didn't even want the meat.

After the meal, Grandma Zhang washed the strawberries and melons. Her daughter-in-law ate a strawberry and knew that it was naturally ripe. The taste was completely different from the ones ripened in the greenhouse. It was fragrant, sweet and juicy. It burst with juice when she bit it. Then she took a bite of her favorite melon. The flesh was sweet, crisp and tender. She couldn't stop eating it. The whole family finished all the fruits bought by Grandma Zhang. After eating, they asked Grandma Zhang to take her out to buy some more and prepare to take them to the company to eat.

Chu's mother was so proud when she heard someone praise the fruits and vegetables grown by her daughter.

"Hahaha, these are grown by our relatives. We never use chemical fertilizers or pesticides. They are all organic. We sell them here because we think they are delicious. Chinese cabbage is also delicious. I stir-fry it plain and it tastes great. You can buy some and see if your granddaughter likes it."

"Then I'll come over and try buying some tomorrow. I'll just buy some fruit today. If I buy too much, it'll be too heavy to carry."

While Grandma Zhang was chatting with Mother Chu, her daughter-in-law had already gone to pick some fruit. She took five melons weighing about two kilograms, which she loved, and another five kilograms of strawberries, which her daughter loved. She was a little hesitant looking at the big, fresh watermelon, as it was too big to carry. She turned around and asked her mother-in-law if she could pick one up.

"Mom, should we buy another watermelon? It's too heavy and I'm afraid I can't carry it."

"Let's buy it tomorrow. Today's purchase is enough for us to eat. Let your husband come with us tomorrow to carry the food." Grandma Zhang's daughter-in-law decisively accepted her mother-in-law's suggestion.

Not long after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law paid the bill and left, a large group of people came in. They were all repeat customers of Grandma Zhang's house. After a while, Chu's mother found that the strawberries were gone and there were only a few watermelons left. Thinking that her card friends had not come yet, she quickly called Chu's father to bring another basin of strawberries when he came.

When Dad Chu returned to the supermarket with two baskets of watermelons and a basin of strawberries, several people were standing inside the supermarket chatting with Mom Chu. Mom Chu looked up and saw Dad Chu.

"Old Chu, come here quickly. They all want to take watermelons in groups of three or five. There aren't enough here. I think your basin of strawberries is only enough for them to share."

After Chu's father finished processing the orders of these people, he found that there were not many fruits in the supermarket. There were only three watermelons left, and the melons were at the bottom of the basket. There were not many cabbages and radishes left. When the two saw the situation, they closed the supermarket and went home. When they got home, Chu's father was still confused.

"I haven't been home for long, how come they are almost sold out?"

"As soon as you left, a wave of people came. They were all repeat customers who sold you goods at dinner. Passersby also came in to buy some when they saw that the store was crowded. By the time the people who had made appointments with me in the chess and card room came over, there were not many left. You said that the goods were selling so well at the beginning. I don't know how long the ones Jiaojiao left at home can be sold." People are worried that the goods will not be sold. Now there are not enough to sell.

"Jiaojiao doesn't know how long it will take for her to be back this time. I'm not going to sell any more now that I've sold most of it. I'm going to save some for our own consumption. My eldest sister just called to ask where we bought the fruits and vegetables to send to Dad in the countryside. She wants to buy more, especially the radish. She said she had a sore throat from a cold and it made her throat feel better after eating it. Mom also called to say the radish is good. Dad coughs a lot because he smokes, and he said his throat felt better after eating the radish."

"Yes, my sister-in-law also called to buy some radishes. She said her asthma was much better after eating them. I wonder if the radishes Jiaojiao planted over there can cure her illness?"

"What disease can a radish cure? I guess the things grown in the fertile soil over there have high nutritional value. Don't say that outside. Just do as you agreed with Jiaojiao and say that it's organic fruit grown by a relative. Don't say anything else. It will be troublesome if someone gets sick and eats it and it doesn't work." Dad Chu stopped Mom Chu's speculation.

"I'm just saying this at home. How can people spread rumors outside? They'll accuse us of false advertising."

After talking, the two washed up and rested.

The next morning, Dad Chu went to Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu Jiao's house and delivered another truck of Chu Jiao brand watermelons, cantaloupes, cabbages and radishes. He let them divide the items among themselves, and then rushed home to stock up his supermarket.

It was already eight o'clock in the morning when I arrived at the supermarket with a cart full of watermelons and melons. There were actually several people waiting at the door.

"Boss, you opened the store late today, so you should go get the goods. I'll just take a watermelon so you don't have to carry it inside."

"Boss, give me a bag. I want to pick a few melons."

The supermarket door was not open yet, and several people came over to pick fruits. Dad Chu had no choice but to let them choose by themselves while he went to open the door and get the bags.

Soon, there were only a few melons left that Dad Chu had pushed in. Dad Chu had no choice but to call home and ask Mom Chu to come and look after the store. He then went home and drove over to get two baskets of watermelons, two baskets of cantaloupes, a basket each of cabbage and radish, and finally a basin of strawberries.
