For Green Fresh Supermarket, sales would be relatively slow on the first day of opening. Business would only boom later. However, no matter how flat the sales were, things would be sold out before noon. Dry goods like rice and peanuts would be the exception.

Most of the customers on the first day were ordinary residents from nearby.

When a new store opened, everyone was curious, especially a supermarket that specialized in selling agricultural products. People would buy these things daily, so many would wander in to take a look. However, when they saw the prices of the stock, they would wander back out.

These vegetables weren’t plated with gold or silver, so why should they be sold at such a high price?

Of course, the supermarket wouldn’t force people to buy their stock. It was a free market.

Most local customers would make any purchase. Only a few of them would buy some vegetables to try. After all, they also wanted to know why the prices were so high. They wanted to see for themselves.

Even so, the things in the supermarket would be sold out.

Normal customers would be shocked to see well-dressed people coming to the supermarket to buy boxes and boxes of stuff. The items flew off the stuff.

‘Could these people be actors? Even if they were, why would they buy so many items? It makes no sense. Plus, can the supermarket hire actors every day to do something like this? Clearly, these people have to be real customers.

‘Moreover, judging from their clothes, they are probably from wealthy or noble families. Why would they be acting for this supermarket?’

Therefore, some of the normal customers were influenced and bought some of the items on sale.

Then, they went back home to cook.

“What smells so good?” Some of the customers gasped in surprise when they cooked with the vegetables.

This housewife bought half a catty of small rapeseed.

The small rapeseed in the supermarket cost 88 RMB per catty. She had spent 50 RMB on buying half a catty. It was very expensive. However, seeing that the people around her bought so much, she felt like she needed to grab some to try. She didn’t expect the rapeseed to smell so good.

“Mom, what are you making?” Her 10-year-old son, who was playing in the living room, ran into the kitchen and looked around curiously. Then, he lifted his feet and looked into the pot. Then, he asked with some doubt, “Mom, are you cooking vegetables?” There was nothing else cooking in the kitchen.

His mother came back to her senses and smiled, “That’s right. It smells good, right?” The mother was surprised as she looked at the glowing rapeseed in her pan.

Her son sniffed and said, “It smells so good! Mom, what vegetable is this? I want to try some now.” Usually, the son didn’t like to eat greens. He preferred meat. But smelling the fragrance coming from the pan, his stomach grumbled.

His mother’s eyes lit up. “Son, do you want to try the vegetable?”

Her son nodded and said, “Yes, Mom, hurry up. I want to eat now.”

The mother smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll cook a bit more, and we can eat!”

The mother stir-fried the rapeseed a little more and plated it. The vegetable was green and lovely. When she smelled it, she couldn’t control her appetite. She pinched a leaf with her fingers and dropped it into her mouth. Then, her eyes immediately widened. “This is too delicious! No wonder it’s so expensive!”

She finally understood why a large group of people bought a lot of these things in the supermarket and even fought for them. If she had known that the vegetables were so delicious, she would have bought more.

Although her family was not that rich, they could afford to spend on good quality vegetables.

While she was thinking, her son ran over again. When he saw her mother munching on the vegetable, he looked a little incredulous. Then he shouted, “Mom, how can you sneak a bite first?”

His mother normally valued etiquette the most. He couldn’t imagine his mother doing something like this.

The mother blushed after being exposed by her son. Then, she said, “I was just tasting. Son, this vegetable is very delicious. Let’s save some for sister and father, okay? They work so hard every day.”

The vegetable was delicious, but what was a good meal if it wasn’t enjoyed with the whole family.

The son nodded sensibly and said, “Okay!” He immediately took out an empty plate from the cupboard and said, “Then, mom, we should keep some for dad and sister!”

“Okay!” The mother was very pleased with her son’s sensibility and immediately divided the vegetables into two halves.

Half of the vegetables were given to her son, and the other half was placed in the insulated cabinet.

The son took half of the vegetables out, then returned to the kitchen and took the bowls and chopsticks out.

He originally wanted to wait for his father and sister to come back and eat together, but when he smelled the waves of fragrance coming from the plate, he really couldn’t control himself. He picked up the chopsticks and put the vegetables into his mouth.

Then, as he ate, he ran into the kitchen. As he chewed, he said loudly, “Mom, Mom, this is too good. It has a crisp and sweet taste. I like it very much!”

His mother smiled and said, “If you like it, then eat more. Also, remember to pair it with your rice. Don’t just eat the vegetables.”

His son smiled and nodded. “Okay, okay!”

When it was time to eat, her father and sister came back and saw their son or younger brother lying on the sofa rubbing his stomach.

When the sister saw this, she immediately asked worriedly, “Younger brother, what’s wrong with you?”

Her mother came out with a plate of braised fish and said with a laugh, “Don’t worry. Your younger brother just ate too much!”

“Huh?” The sister looked at the plates of fish and meat on the table. Only one plate was empty. “Mom, what did brother eat?” As she spoke, she rubbed her brother’s stomach.

Her brother said, “Sis, I only ate one dish of vegetables today. It was delicious. I ate three big bowls of rice to go with it. I am so full.”

“Vegetable?” The sister and father became even more suspicious.

The father asked, “Don’t you hate vegetables? What kind of vegetable did your mother cook today that you skipped the fish and the meat?”

The son said, “It’s just some rapeseed. Dad, it’s really delicious. I saved half for you. You’ll know how delicious that dish is when you eat it later. It would be great if mom could buy that kind of vegetable every day.”

The older sister asked her mother in puzzlement, “Mom, what kind of vegetable did you buy? Is it really that delicious?”

Her mother smiled and said, “I’ll serve it now. You’ll know after you try it.”

When the small plate of rapeseed was served, the older sister and father smelled the fragrance and exclaimed in surprise, “It smells so good!”

After everything was served, the mother immediately said, “Okay, let’s eat!”

After the elder sister and father sat down, they picked up their chopsticks and impatiently ate the vegetables.

“Ah, it’s really delicious,” the father and daughter exclaimed.

“Mom, is this rapeseed? Are you sure it’s not other vegetables sold as rapeseed?” The sister said with a smile.

His mother said, “This is indeed rapeseed. But, guess where I bought it?”

“Where did you buy it? Next time, you should buy more. There are so few here.” The father said as he ate.

His mother said with a laugh, “Buy more? Do you know how much this vegetable costs per catty?”

“How much, Mom?” The sister asked.

“88 RMB per catty, and that is already one of the cheaper ones. Most of the vegetables there are sold by the unit. The cheapest small rapeseed is 88 RMB per catty, Chinese cabbage is 188 RMB per piece, and green pepper is 18 RMB per piece!” The mother said.

“Mom, where did you go shopping today? Isn’t it a little too expensive?” The sister said incredulously.

“It’s just the new supermarket up ahead. I think it’s called Taoyuan Village Green Fresh supermarket. It’s a supermarket that specializes in selling agricultural products. However, the things in the supermarket are really too expensive. Today, I spent 50 yuan on buying this small half-catty of rapeseed. It’s really expensive, but seeing your brother eating so many vegetables, I think it’s worth it.”

Then, the sister said, “Taoyuan Village Green Fresh Supermarket?”

“Yes.” The mother looked puzzled.

The sister immediately grinned and said, “I’ve heard of this supermarket. If the vegetables are from this supermarket, then it’s normal for them to have such a high price!”

“Huh?!”
