Chapter 230 Red Bananas for $10,000

Now, I have seen all the fifty kinds of fruits in the secret jade slips for making immortal fruit wine. Zhou Yu has seen all thirty-eight kinds of fruits. Some of them are the same in appearance, but some are just similar.

Now, there are still twelve species left, which he had never seen before, and he could only search for in the next time. The most important thing now is to get the Kuru Island red banana.

If this explorer cannot get what he has in his hands, he will need to go to the original land of Kuru Island by himself or by finding someone.

If he could control his sword, it would be a simple matter. He flew directly to the primitive island, took the banana to the sword and ran away. No one could catch up with him. But now, he is still far from controlling his sword.

After entering the fruit market, Zhou Yu walked quickly to the Qiguo store. At this time, the middle-aged boss was greeting the customer. Seeing that he was coming so soon, he showed a look of surprise on his face, "Young man, you are here so fast. There is a bench there. You can sit down first, I will come after I greet the customers."

"Uncle, you can do it first, I'll take a look at the fruit." Zhou Yu smiled and waved his hand, and started shopping in the Qiguo store.

He looked at all the fruits in this store last time and remembered them deeply in his mind. However, now he still needs to relive his memories and see if this uncle has entered new fruits.

Among the thirty-eight kinds of fruits he knows, more than twenty can be found in the Qiguo store, which shows how powerful this Qiguo store is.

If Kuru Island Red Banana is not the most critical thing, he would not be so anxious. The non-critical thing does not have a particularly big impact on the taste. Just find some similar substitutes, but the key fruit can have a great impact on the taste. If the same is missing, the taste produced will probably be a little different.

Just like fairy-flavored fruit, it can be said to be the most important thing in the entire fairy-flavored fruit wine recipe. If the fairy-flavored fruit is missing, the taste of these fruits will not be able to be harmonized. You can imagine the wine you brew, and the taste will definitely make people vomit blood.

Nowadays, many manufacturers can only produce fruit wine with a few kinds of fruits. This is the most important reason. Fifty fruits have different tastes and different temperaments. It is not that easy to put them together to make a good taste.

The proportion of fruits in the recipe is naturally the top priority, and at the same time, the fairy-flavored fruit is also the most important thing.

While walking around in the Qiguo Store, Zhou Yu found that there were some new fruits here. After careful observation, he found two kinds of fruits similar to the other twelve unknown fruits in the Xianxia World.

This made him feel a hint of joy. Now, fifty kinds of fruits, whether they are similar or substitutes, have found forty kinds, and only the last ten kinds are left.

Soon, the owner of the Qiguo store greeted several customers and walked over with a smile, "Young man, you are here so fast, why? I've seen my new fruit again." When he saw Zhou Yu staring at the new fruits he had entered, he immediately asked again.

"Yes, uncle, your new fruit looks good, very novel." Zhou Yu turned his head and said with a smile. After searching for the recipe for fairy fruit wine this time, he knew that there are many fruits in this world that he didn't know.

"Haha, there are many fruits in this world that I have never seen before. Come on, since you think it is good, then try the taste. Some of them can really surprise you." Hearing Zhou Yu's words, the boss laughed, took one of these fruits, washed them under the faucet, and handed them to Zhou Yu.

Looking at the fruit handed over by the boss, Zhou Yu was not polite, "Thank you uncle, I'll try it first."

After tasting these fruits, he was naturally surprised. Some of the fruits tasted differently.

Unfortunately, among these fruits, there are only two fruits that are similar to the Xianxia World, and the taste is not much different from his feelings. Some other fruits are not in the feeling of the Xianguo wine recipe.

"Uncle, what I admire most in this entire fruit market is you. Qiguo store is really Qiguo." Zhou Yu gave a thumbs up to the boss in front of him. If it weren't for this store, it would be really difficult for him to find some of the fruits.

"Haha, there's nothing to admire. I just want to let the people here try strange fruits from abroad. By the way, young man, I don't know what your name is." The boss waved his hand and smiled, then asked Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu told him his name and also knew his name, Shi Dapeng, a very simple name.

"Xiaoyu, you asked me to bring back all the thirty kilograms of fruits you brought back from the United States. You can keep them in the house. Just take them when you leave." Then, Shi Dapeng pointed to the room behind him and said.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded and thanked: "Uncle Peng, thank you so much, how much is the total cost."

Shi Dapeng was also polite and told the price. This kind of fruit is relatively expensive, one pound is 200 yuan, thirty pounds, which is 6,000 yuan.

Zhou Yu took out his bank card and swiped the card. He felt a little lucky. Fortunately, the fruit doesn’t require much, and if it is the main material, the cost will be much greater.

After paying the money, Shi Dapeng smiled and continued, "By the way, I contacted the Kuru Island Red Banana business two days ago and said on the phone that you especially need the Kuru Island Red Banana and are willing to pay some price. He decided to consider it at that time."

"Last night, he called me and said he had considered it and gave a price. As long as you agree, he would immediately send the banana to me through international express delivery. Then, after you see the banana, you will transfer the money into his account."

"Uncle Peng, thank you for your hard work, what is the price?" Zhou Yu asked immediately. If the price is too high, he would not buy it casually. Although this red banana is what he needs most now, it is not a lamb that can be slaughtered.

Shi Dapeng shook his head gently, "This price is indeed a bit expensive for a red banana. My friend offered $10,000."

When Zhou Yu heard this price, he immediately smiled. Ten thousand US dollars, nearly 70,000 yuan, just a Kulu red banana, which was really a lion's mouth, but this is the reward of the adventure, and the gains obtained by risking his life.

"Can't this price be low?" Zhou Yu did not agree directly, but looked at Shi Dapeng and asked.

Seeing that Zhou Yu did not look particularly surprised, Shi Dapeng felt full of emotion. He was indeed a rich second generation. He didn't take this little money seriously at all. He just bought a banana for 60,000 or 70,000 yuan. In his opinion, it was simply a very bad behavior.

"My friend said that this is the only price, and he also said that he will continue to explore in two days, and it is not certain when he will come back."

Then, Shi Dapeng shook his head and then kindly persuaded: "I said, Xiaoyu, spending tens of thousands of yuan to buy a banana is a bit unpaid. There is no need to waste so much money just to try it out. There are still many delicious fruits in the world."

"Uncle Peng, thank you. I bought this banana not just to try it out. Tell him that I bought it at this price, but I must ensure the integrity of the banana and the seeds inside, otherwise I will not pay." After thanking Zhou Yu, he smiled and agreed to the price.

Sixty or seventy thousand yuan is nothing to him. More importantly, what he got is not just a Kuru Island red banana, but also the seeds in the banana. This is the key. Otherwise, he would not have bought a banana with no seeds in it.

"You kid really plan to grow red bananas in China. You can't grow them alive. But since you have decided, I'll contact him later and ask him to send the bananas here immediately. If you speed up the express delivery, it will probably be there in two or three days."

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Shi Dapeng smiled helplessly and finally agreed. After all, he and Zhou Yu had just met twice, so it would be enough to persuade him.

"Haha, then thank Uncle Peng. I'll pay some deposit so that your friend won't worry." Zhou Yu laughed loudly, then swiped his card to pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan.

Shi Dapeng did not refuse. Although he was a little familiar with Zhou Yu, he still had to be cautious. If the Red Banana arrived at him and Zhou Yu regretted it, it would affect his relationship with his friends.

After receiving the deposit, Shi Dapeng asked Zhou Yu to wait for a while, then took out the phone, contacted the friend, and talked for a few words. Then he hung up the phone and told Zhou Yu that due to the jet lag, his friend would deliver the bananas through a hurry tomorrow morning.

After thanking Shi Dapeng again, Zhou Yu took out his cell phone from his pocket, "Uncle Peng, I like some strange fruits. I searched online a few days ago and saw some that I had never seen before. Please help me recognize it."

"Haha, you kid are really the same as me. You are curious about strange fruits. Take them over and let me see them."

Shi Dapeng pointed at Zhou Yu with his finger, and then thought of something, and immediately said, "By the way, I just remembered that the fruit you brought over last time that I couldn't recognize. I asked a friend and told me what you saw online. Finally, I found a fruit with a similar taste. I guess I will be sent here tomorrow."

"Ah, I found a similar taste, thank you Uncle Peng." Zhou Yu said with some surprise on his face. (To be continued.)
