60s: I have a store

Chapter 192 Eating Mango

Director Li smiled and said nothing.

She doesn't expect the construction team and the foundry to make any profit, as long as she can feed those unemployed young people, she will have done a great deed. By then, I believe other streets will also learn from her.

After chatting for a while, she was ready to leave. She couldn't sit for too long as there were a lot of things to do on the street recently.

Zhou Yimin immediately brought out a box of mangoes, which exuded the unique fruity aroma of mangoes.

"Auntie, these mangoes are given to me by my friend. I can't eat so many. Please take them back to the street office and share them with others."

We need to deepen our relationship with the streets. When the trend picks up in the future, the street offices will play a very important role.

Director Li was shocked. She had seen this mango before. It was a fruit only found in the south. It was extremely precious in the north and ordinary people could not get their hands on it at all. It was almost the same as lychee.

However, Zhou Yimin brought out a large box and wanted to give it to their street office to eat.

"Yimin, these mangoes are precious, you should keep them for yourself and give them to others." It would be very face-saving to give them as a gift to others.

Zhou Yimin smiled and said, "I'm just giving it away now! Aunt, just take it! I have more."

He pointed his finger.

Director Li looked and saw that there were indeed three or four boxes!
She was amazed. This guy had such a strong network of connections! Others had to work hard to get a few mangoes, and she had no ability to get them, but Zhou Yimin just took out a few boxes, which were given by his friends.

His friend has extraordinary magical powers.

Director Li thought that these mangoes were probably supplied from the south. Only people with connections and channels could get some.

"Okay then! Thanks to you." Director Li no longer refused.

She also understood Zhou Yimin's intention.

Although she is in the street office, there is no need to curry favor with others. But sometimes the little devil is difficult to deal with, which can make people in the street office feel soft-hearted and grateful, which is good for Zhou Yimin.

Since we owe each other a favor, if anything happens in the future, the street office will find a way to help Zhou Yimin smooth things over.

Afterwards, Director Li carried the box of mangoes back to the street office.

"Director, what's that? It smells so good!" As soon as I entered the room, a clerk came over and asked curiously.

Director Li said, "Please let everyone in. Yimin's friend gave him some mangoes, and he specially gave a box to our street office."

When the clerk heard this, he was overjoyed and almost jumped out to call for help.

Mango!

He has only seen it in books since he was a child, let alone eating it.

Soon, everyone in the subdistrict office got the news that the director wanted to distribute mangoes, which were sent by Zhou Yimin. Everyone praised Zhou Yimin for being so polite.

The relationship between Zhou Yimin and their Director Li is no longer a secret in the street office, and everyone knows it.

Even if Zhou Yimin didn't send anything, they wouldn't dare to offend him!

But Comrade Zhou Yimin not only did not take advantage of his relationship with their director, but instead helped their street office solve problems time and time again.

Like those wild game, some is always delivered from time to time.

In addition, if Zhou Yimin had not reminded them a few days ago, a tragedy would have occurred in their street where dangerous buildings collapsed and people were crushed to death. I'm afraid everyone in their street office would have been punished.

In short, everyone in the street office has a good impression of Zhou Yimin.

This time, the favorable impression was even stronger.

If anyone comes to the street office to report Zhou Yimin, they will detain the reporter first.

You have bad intentions!

You actually slandered Zhou Yimin, such a good comrade. It is totally unfair.

At this time, Director Li finished counting the mangoes in the box. Each person in their street office got one, and there were 3 left.

"Pick one for yourself, each person." Director Li said.

Each mango weighs about one pound.

Everyone was smiling as they picked the mangoes. If Director Li hadn’t been there, there would have been a fight. After all, these were mangoes, and taking them home would have given them face.

Those who received the mangoes thanked the director and Comrade Zhou Yimin. Director Li achieved his goal.

Liu Yan is a new street office clerk who has been on the job for less than a month. People who can work in the street office usually have some background and connections. But Liu Yan is different. She was assigned here by luck.

Holding the fragrant mango, she couldn't help but put it to her nose and smell it.

If you take this home, won’t everyone in the hospital be envious?

What a pity! I heard that the director's nephew, Comrade Zhou Yimin, already has a partner, otherwise, she would have to work hard.

“As soon as you smell this, you know that mangoes are delicious.”

"How about you open it and let everyone have a taste."

"Go to hell! You already have one, why don't you open yours?"

……

In Courtyard No. 56, Zhou Yimin took out another box and called the children in the courtyard, giving each of them a mango. This stunned everyone in the courtyard.

Not to mention children, even uncles have never eaten this tropical fruit.

They knew very well that this kind of fruit was rare, but they didn't expect that Yimin would give one to each child in the courtyard, which was very generous and heroic.

"Is there anything else?" Luo Dapeng came over stealthily and asked.

Zhou Yimin rolled his eyes at him and said, "Come back later to get it."

Luo Dapeng immediately smiled happily: "Hey! Got it."

The children got the mangoes but didn't know how to eat them.

"Yimin, how do you eat this? Can you eat the skin?" someone asked.

Zhou Yimin picked up a mango and demonstrated it to everyone.

"Just watch!"

After saying that, he cut a knife on both sides close to the core, cut the mango into three parts, took out the flesh, cut a few times horizontally and vertically, and then used the tip of the knife to cut oblique cross cuts on the flesh. Then, pinch the head and tail with both hands and gently bend downward, and the beautiful and delicious flesh will come out.

"Come, try it. It's best to eat it this way without getting your hands dirty."

Some people peel the skin and then bite the whole thing, which can easily get stuck in the teeth and is why many people dislike mangoes.

Zhou Yimin asked all the adults present to eat a small piece and just taste it.

He opened five mangoes in a row.

This time, everyone knows how to deal with it. Apart from anything else, just looking at the fruit cut in this way, it feels high-end and classy.

"Don't you want the peel?" someone asked. He saw that there was still some flesh on the peel.

Zhou Yimin nodded: "No."

Then they won’t be polite!

Some people immediately grabbed the skin and scraped it with their teeth, not wasting any of it. Some even took a bite of the skin to see what it tasted like.

"Pah, pah, pah! It doesn't taste good."

Zhou Yimin shrugged and said, "You didn't listen."

We took one box of the remaining mangoes back to the village, gave one box to Uncle Zhang's family, and gave some to Youde, Dapeng, Dazhong and others.

It was almost evening when Zhou Yimin went to Uncle Zhang's house and had a meal. After returning to the city, he rarely cooked for himself. He either ate ready-made food at the store or went out for a meal.

"Brother Yimin, what is delicious?" The girl Zhang Lu had already smelled the fragrance.

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a slap in the face from his mother.

Just know how to eat.

Recently, this girl has received a lot of snacks from Yimin.
