After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

Lin Fan looked at the bitten apple in his hand.

The cross-section of the fruit pulp is crystal clear, and you can even see the juicy flesh inside when you look at it in the light.

Speaking of apples on the market, he has eaten quite a few.

For example, the common Fuji apple has a thick skin. When you bite into it, the peel often gets stuck between your teeth.

After chewing, there's always a bag of coarse fruit residue left in your mouth that you can't swallow, and it even gets a bit sour towards the end.

If left for a little longer, the flesh becomes mealy, and chewing it feels like eating a dry clump of sawdust, with no texture whatsoever.

He also bought Aksu rock sugar hearts.

The apple was indeed sweet; the area around the core was completely soaked in sugar.

But the sweetness was too strong and cloying. After eating a whole one, my throat always felt like it was coated with a layer of syrup, which wasn't refreshing. I had to drink a couple of sips of water to get rid of that cloying sweetness.

Moreover, the flesh of Aksu fruit is relatively firm and hard, and eating too much of it can easily cause your cheeks to ache.

As for those imported fruits marketed as high-end, such as Aomori apples, or those with fancy packaging like "World No. 1".

He bought a lot of things for Su Qing when he was in school.

They cost over a hundred yuan each, came in an exquisite box, and had a bright, reddish-brown exterior without any flaws, looking like works of art.

But once you cut it open and eat it, apart from being a little crisper and juicier, the taste is just so-so.

The taste doesn't match the exorbitant price at all; it's purely a waste of money to buy a pretty outer layer coated with industrial fruit wax, just to satisfy vanity.

But the "Rock Sugar Snow Jade Apple" in his hand completely shattered his understanding of traditional apples.

Lin Fan raised the apple in his hand again and took a second bite.

"Click."

The peel is so thin you can barely feel it. The moment your teeth cut through the flesh, a burst of juice erupts on your tongue.

This isn't the cloying sweetness of industrial saccharin, nor is it the overly sweet, cloying sugar water.

It's more like a pool of glacial meltwater that has just flowed down from the high mountains, carrying the purest fruity fragrance of nature, with a hint of sweetness that is refreshing and delightful.

The most important thing is the taste.

The flesh has no rough fibrous texture when chewed. With a little chewing, the flesh turns into a sweet juice that flows down the throat and into the stomach.

There is absolutely no residue.

He spent half the day cooking in the kitchen at noon today. Although he didn't eat much oily food, the smell of lard and cooking fumes filled the house, making him feel a bit stuffy when he breathed.

But after a few bites of apple, my mouth felt clean and refreshed, and even my breath carried a pleasant, crisp fruity aroma. The slight feeling of fullness in my stomach was also soothed by the cool juice.

It cleanses the palate and cuts through the richness of food.

This is an excellent dessert fruit.

In my mind, the system's notification sounded at just the right moment.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on your first harvest of farm fruit.]

[Quality assessment of "Rock Sugar Snow Jade Apple" complete: Perfect!]

[Suggested retail price: 288 yuan per serving.]

Two hundred and eighty-eight yuan for an apple.

Lin Fan looked at the numbers on the screen with a calm expression.

Putting this at an outside fruit stand would be blatant robbery. But at Lin's shop, it's perfectly reasonable.

Although mutton is delicious and not gamey, after eating too much meat, you will inevitably need something to settle your stomach down.

At this point, serve a plate of refreshing and palatable Snow Jade Apples, with not a single fibrous residue.

For those gourmets, let alone 288 yuan, even if the price doubled, they would still scan the code and pay without hesitation.

Lin Fan picked three apples from the tree.

The fruits are very uniform in size, each weighing about one pound. The white skin has a very faint pink tinge.

He picked up a bamboo basket, placed it under his arm, and picked a dozen more, filling the small basket.

He then withdrew from the farm space.

Push open the door to the small storeroom.

The hall was quiet.

Su Xiaoxiao was still sitting behind the bar, staring at her laptop and checking the data.

On the sofa, Tuantuan was fast asleep, her little feet unconsciously kicking the blanket around her. The orange cat, Xiajiao, lay beside her, its tail swishing back and forth.

Lin Fan carried a small basket of apples toward the kitchen.

He washed the three apples clean by the sink. Actually, the things that grew in the system's farm were spotless and didn't need washing at all, but he still habitually rinsed them with water.

Place the apple on the cutting board.

No need to peel it. The peel is extremely thin and doesn't affect the taste at all.

The purple-gold cleaver fell, making a few crisp "crack" sounds.

The apples were cut into evenly sized crescent-shaped pieces, and the tiny core in the middle was precisely removed.

The cut flesh, exposed to the air, is as white as jade, showing no signs of the rapid oxidation and yellowing that ordinary apples exhibit when exposed to air; it retains its translucent, frosty texture.

Lin Fan took three clean white porcelain plates and neatly arranged the cut apple pieces on them.

He carried two plates, lifted the curtain, and walked into the hall.

"Xiaoxiao, stop for a moment and have some fruit." Lin Fan placed one of the plates on the bar.

Su Xiaoxiao looked up from the computer screen and glanced at the plate in front of her.

"An apple?" Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback. "Brother Lin, this apple looks so white. Did you peel it?"

"It wasn't peeled; it was just cut and served directly," Lin Fan said calmly.

Su Xiaoxiao picked up the small wooden fork that was provided next to her, stuck a piece in it, and put it in her mouth.

"Click."

The crisp cracking sound was particularly noticeable in the quiet hall.

Su Xiaoxiao chewed twice, then froze instantly.

Her eyes widened, and the wooden fork in her hand froze in mid-air.

She ate two large bowls of stir-fried cabbage noodles with lard for lunch, and then drank some noodle soup. Although it was delicious, her mouth inevitably had a bit of grease in it.

But when you bite into this piece of apple, the abundant juice bursts in your mouth, just like rinsing your mouth with spring water.

There wasn't a single grain of residue; the pulp dissolved into water and slid down the esophagus.

The greasy feeling in my mouth was completely swept away, leaving only a lingering sweetness and coolness.

"Brother Lin... is this really an apple?" Su Xiaoxiao looked at the remaining fruit pieces on the plate in disbelief. "How come I can't taste even a single bit of pulp? It's like drinking juice!"

"New product." Lin Fan walked to the sofa.

He bent down and gently patted Tuantuan's shoulder: "Tuantuan, wake up, time to eat an apple."

The little girl rubbed her sleepy eyes, hummed twice, and slowly got up.

Upon seeing the white porcelain plate in Lin Fan's hand and smelling its sweet aroma, Tuantuan immediately became much more alert.

She didn't even need the small wooden fork; she simply reached out her chubby little hand, grabbed a piece, and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Click-clack".

Tuantuan chewed quickly like a little squirrel, her eyes sparkling, with juice dripping from the corners of her mouth.

"Daddy! It's so sweet! It's so cool and refreshing, even better than ice cream!" Tuantuan exclaimed, grabbing a second piece with her little hand.
