Chapter 60 (2/2)
At this time, Yuan Zhou happened to come over and ask, “What would you like to eat?”
“A cup of Watermelon Juice and a serving of Egg Fried Rice, please.” Wang Meng quickly ordered her dishes. Subsequently, she put her telephone on a rack and started interacting with her audiences.
“All right. One moment, please.”
Just like last time, Yuan Zhou finished the Egg Fried Rice first before preparing the watermelon juice.
At this moment, Wang Meng suddenly shouted. “Boss Yuan, wait. Can I broadcast the process alive?”
When Wang Meng saw Yuan Zhou take out a watermelon and prepare to express the juice, she asked abruptly.
After considering it for a second, Yuan Zhou agreed. Since this girl had helped him complete a mission once, though without her knowing, Yuan Zhou would take this chance to pay her back.
“Everybody, look. The boss is going to make the watermelon juice now.” Meng Meng briefed her audience first before moving the camera lens to face Yuan Zhou and started the broadcast.
While watching, some audiences started to show off their scientific knowledge.
[Watermelon juice usually uses seedless watermelon as the raw material. This way, there won’t be any bitter taste from the watermelon seeds in the juice. Furthermore, lemons will usually be added into the watermelon juice at some other places to give it a better taste.] Fragrant Tile-Fried Chicken
Just from his name, the audience already knew he was a specialized foodie. He knew so much even about the watermelon juice; however, it was a wrong guess.
[Fragrant Tile-Fried Chicken is wrong this time. The boss is using watermelon with seeds. Whether he will pick them out or not is yet to be seen.] GG He He Da
[My goodness, the boss is specially treating Meng Meng with the core of the watermelon to make the juice. How awesome is Meng Meng. The boss is definitely obsessed with Meng Meng.] Bloody Lotus.
[Didn’t anyone find anything special about that watermelon?] He&Ro
The wealthy He&Ro spoke out his doubts out. Wealthy people were welcomed everywhere they went. Following his question, many audiences asked him for the answer on the screen.
[As far as I know, this breed of watermelon is sold at 227RMB each on the market. It is probably from the XinJiang Province, where there’s plenty of sunshine, or from Japan’s Hokkaido. This breed is rare, but its sweetness and taste is the best.] He&Ro
[By the way, the annual yield of this watermelon in Hokkaido is only 100, thus the auction price can reach up to 4000 US dollars for one. I tasted one last year and er… it still tasted like watermelon. I wonder where the watermelon used by Boss Yuan is from?] He&Ro
The onlookers might know little about watermelons but they did understand the price. A mere watermelon cost up to 227RMB? This was absolutely unbelievable. Normally, a watermelon weighing around 5kg was sold for 20RMB or so. This one, which weighed about 2.5kg, was nevertheless worth more than 200RMB. Going down that line of thought, the watermelon juice worth 88RMB was considered a low price.
However, many cups of juice could be made from a watermelon, thus the total revenue would be more or less decent. While the audiences were all thinking this way, Meng Meng opened her mouth, saying, “Boss Yuan, you only take the core of the watermelon to make the juice but how are you going to deal with the remains with seeds when you make more juice?”
“All the remaining parts of the watermelon will be recycled to create fertilizer.” Yuan Zhou first handed the cup of watermelon juice to Wang Meng. Then he took off his mask and replied her.
Immediately, the onlookers felt deeply astonished. All the messages formerly flashing on the screen suddenly disappeared. After a long while, the audience He&Ro yet sent a message.
[How awesome is this boss! Please share the address with me. I’m going there tomorrow to eat.] He&Ro
[I would have been quite happy with normal watermelon juice without any water diluting it but this one is made from the core pulp of the watermelon?]
[If the watermelon is exactly what that wealthy guy just described and the boss uses only the core part, I really think the price of 88RMB is much too cheap.]
[My mum is asking me why I am kneeling down while watching the broadcast.]
[You only kneeled down? I am lying on my stomach right now. The boss is so generous.]
Then messages on the screen returned to normal. Various remarks talking about the generous boss continually flashed through and more audiences were prepared to spend 88RMB to taste the watermelon juice made from the watermelon worth of 227RMB.
“Boss Yuan is really callous and indifferent.” At this moment, Wu Zhou said sadly while having his meal beside the girl.
Just now, Yuan Zhou demonstrated with his deeds that Wu Zhou being touched just now was merely his over thinking.
Wu Zhou was reluctant to admit that and felt fairly upset. He had always felt Boss Yuan treated him indifferently. Just when he felt it was getting better, he was nevertheless told it was just a misunderstanding.
“Maybe.” Yuan Zhou uttered with a perfunctory manner in response to Wu Zhou’s remarks.
