After opening for business on the first day, Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket blew up.
After all, it was the era of information technology.
Many people liked to take photos and then post them on social forums.
Not many people expected Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket to become popular among young people.
In modern times, even young people would go grocery shopping. They saw the flyers of Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket and were quite interested.
Therefore, on the opening day of the supermarket, they went to look. As for whether they would buy it or not, that would depend on the situation. After all, from the promotional posters, they knew that the things here were quite pricey.
However, they didn’t expect the variety available at the supermarket. They also didn’t expect the items displayed on the posters were already the cheapest. There was even more expensive merchandise there!
Someone picked up his phone and took a few photos of the items and their prices. He then posted them on the forum and ridiculed, “Damn, how can these things be so expensive? It looks like we can’t even afford cabbage anymore.”
Someone commented. “No way. What kind of cabbage is this? Is it made of gold and silver? Five RMB per catty? And that is already half price!”
“A tomato costs 3 RMB per catty, and that’s half price. Is it grown in space?”
“Although I don’t go to the market often, I know most things are sold by the catty. I haven’t seen people selling vegetables by the unit before!”
“Oh my God, did you see the tofu? It’s sold by the piece too. How much is one piece? I didn’t see it wrongly. A piece of tofu costs… costs five RMB! Is it stuffed with gold?”
“This is madness!”
“And…”
“OP, where is this supermarket? I’ll go take a look tomorrow.”
“Right, I plan to go take a look too. I really want to see the expensive products in person. Maybe they’re grown on the moon.”
“I’m coming too!”
“+1”
…
Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket got famous, especially among the young people of City Z.
This was thanks to the vegetables’ prices and taste!
The poster that afternoon was a young woman. She strolled through the supermarket and eventually bought some vegetables that her husband and children liked.
However, she never expected that these vegetables would give her such a big surprise.
The taste of these vegetables was really excellent.
When she was cooking, she couldn’t help but take a picture and post it. She said, “I’m still cooking, but the smell is amazing. I’m already salivating.”
After she finished cooking, she picked up some chopsticks and tried some. Then, she immediately took a photo and posted it. She said, “I finally understand why the price is so high!”
Then, the comments came.
“Why?”
“Is the taste good?”
“It’s not just good. It’s amazing! I’ve never eaten such delicious vegetables before!”
“Really? I’ve been meaning to go on a weight loss journey, but vegetables taste so boring.”
“OP, how great is the taste?”
“Now, I’m even more determined to go to this supermarket tomorrow.”
“Me too!”
“+1!”
An Xinyi wasn’t the only person who went to the supermarket. She wasn’t the only person who made a purchase there.
Many aunties and uncles bought the vegetables and went home to cook. Of course, their purchases were mainly from the first floor, so the taste was weaker than the ones on the second floor. Even so, they were shocked by the taste.
“Grandma, what are you cooking that smells so great?”
“Baby grandson, Grandma is cooking spinach. Will you eat them later?” The grandma smiled.
Her grandson frowned. “Grandma, you’re cooking spinach?! When did spinach become so fragrant?”
Grandpa stirred the spinach in the pot. “Come and see. Isn’t this spinach?”
When the grandson saw his grandmother plate the spinach, his little face pinched. “But Grandma, I don’t like to eat vegetables.”
Grandma put down the spatula, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a spinach leaf, and said, “Precious grandson, this spinach is really fragrant. Didn’t you smell it just now? It must taste delicious too. Come try it!”
Her grandson didn’t like to eat vegetables. That had always been a problem for the family.
In order to let the children eat vegetables, they really tried all kinds of methods, such as squeezing the juice of vegetables, making dumplings with vegetable fillings, and so on. But the kid would spit out anything with a bit of veggie. He’d rather eat plain rice with soy sauce than vegetables.
“Grandma, vegetables are not delicious at all!” The grandson still said with some resistance.
“Just try it, just a little bit,” the grandmother coaxed. “If it’s not delicious, we won’t eat it, okay?”
The child smelled the fragrance coming from the plate. After hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth and tasted it. Then, the child’s big eyes lit up, and the expression on his little face suddenly became lively. Then, he sucked the spinach on the chopsticks into his mouth.
His grandmother’s eyes lit up, and then she asked excitedly, “My precious, is the spinach delicious?”
The child nodded and said, “Yes, grandmother!”
The grandmother immediately smiled and said, “Then, do you want them with some rice?”
“Sure!” To her surprise, her grandson actually agreed.
When the child’s parents came back from work, they saw that their son, who usually did not touch any vegetables, was actually sitting obediently at the dining table with his bowl of rice and eating vegetables.
The mother of the child was very excited when she saw this.
She immediately took a photo of her son and the half-finished bowl of spinach. She posted it online. “Thank you, Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket. My son is finally willing to eat vegetables!”
Then, someone asked, “Why thank the vegetable supermarket?”
The child’s mother replied, “Because the vegetables were bought from that vegetable supermarket. After my mother-in-law cooked the vegetables, my son actually came to ask for the spinach to eat!”
This was happening all over City Z. Many children who didn’t favor vegetables tried them for the first time. They even abandoned their favorite meat.
…
After a whole day of business, the supermarket closed at 9.30 pm. Mother Xiao and the Xiao Family returned around the afternoon.
Xiao Lingyu had a meeting with Zeng Yaozu in the evening.
“Lingyu, this is the sales report for the vegetables on the first and second floor!” Zeng Yaozu took out a report and showed it to Xiao Lingyu.
“On the first floor, 11,000 catties were sold. Except for some worn-out ones, almost all of them were sold out. The eggs and duck eggs were also sold out. The items on the first floor were almost all sold out.
“As for the things on the second floor, our major consumers are the hotel and restaurant owners. Normal customers didn’t purchase that much.
“Therefore, there are mostly dry goods left on the second floor.” Zeng Yaozu patted his chest and said with a smile, “I was nervous all day today. I was afraid that we wouldn’t be able to sell so many things.
“But my worry was unfounded.
“The vegetables on the second floor were sold out at noon. The vegetables on the first floor were almost sold out at around two o’clock in the afternoon.”
Xiao Lingyu looked at the report and said with a smile, “Why do you have so little confidence in yourself?”
Zeng Yaozu shook his head and said, “I have always been very confident in myself. However, I know the danger of blind confidence.
“After all, this is our first-day opening, and we’re not close to any rich people’s residences. How many people are willing to buy such expensive vegetables?
“Who would have thought these thrifty uncles and aunties would be willing to spend this money?”
Xiao Lingyu said, “Have you forgotten about our sale discount? We have a promotion on the first three days of opening. The prices of the vegetables on the first floor are similar to the prices in the market. In that case, why would people go to the market and not come here?”
“…” Zeng Yaozu smiled, “You’re absolutely right!”
