From the plastic bag, what emerged was not the usual glossy deep purple cherries of previous years, but a few bottles of juice housed in very delicate glass containers.
The juice had a big "Cherry Juice" label, yet each bottle was rather small, about the size of a palm, holding roughly 100 milliliters.
"We ordered fresh cherries, not juice," said the irritated procurement manager of the Beijing Hotel, feeling deceived, realizing that these two women had come under the guise of Cherry Valley to promote their product. He immediately took out his phone and called the village chief of Cherry Valley. After the call, his displeasure was even more evident; Cherry Valley was now offering fresh cherry juice instead of fresh cherries.
The idea to turn cherries affected by frostbite into cherry juice was Xiao Xian's creative solution.
