Chapter 512: Zeng Family's Vegetable Store

Zeng Family's vegetable store had really come back from the dead.

Three months ago, Zeng Family's vegetable store, which had always been price-friendly, suddenly raised the price of everything in the store. For example, they sold one tomato for six RMB, a cucumber for five RMB, an eggplant for five RMB, a catty of oat vegetables for 15 RMB, and so on.

The customers who came to buy the vegetables were shocked. In the market, tomatoes were three RMB per catty. But the boss was selling them for six RMB each. Based on the size of the tomato, three of them would make up one catty. In other words, his tomatoes were 18 RMB per catty. That was a plain robbery.

The cucumbers were sold at 2 RMB per catty in the market. But the store sold them for 5 RMB each. In other words, it would cost more than 10 RMB per catty.

The other vegetables were also so much more expensive than the ones at the market. All the crops at Zeng Family's vegetable store had soared to a sky-high price.

"Zeng Qinghua, have you gone insane over money?" Someone saw the prices and scolded angrily, "Are you crazy to put such a high price? Aren't you afraid of chasing away your customers?"

"That's right, Boss Zeng. Are you trying to go in for the last hurrah? I know your shop has been affected by the other stores. Is this your last measure?"

"Boss Zeng, even if you want to do that, you shouldn't take advantage of your regulars."

"But this is not right. Ol Zeng, if you're that desperate, why the shop expansion? Your shop used to be about 50 to 60 square meters but look at it now. It's at least 200 square meters."

"Ol Zeng, you used to complain to us about how your business is losing money. If that's true, where would you find the money to expand your shop?"

An old customer said with obvious displeasure, "Ol Zeng, were you lying to us to get our sympathy?"

Boss Zeng was prepared for these questions once he showed the new prices, but he didn't expect his regulars to question his character. Boss Zeng felt a little helpless and could only explain with a wry smile, "Everyone, listen to me. The price of these vegetables was not set by me but by the boss of the vegetable farm."

As he said this, he picked up the two tomatoes on the shelf and cut them open. They looked very beautiful.

Then, he brought them to the customers and said, "The boss said her vegetables are expensive for a reason. Come, try them and see if they are worth the price. I have been doing business in this area for so many years. When have I ever tried to scam people before?"

The customers smelled a fragrance when boss Zeng cut the tomatoes. This fragrance refreshed their spirits and cleared their minds.

Boss Zeng handed the plate to them and said, "Try some of the tomatoes. I also thought the vegetables were expensive, but my mind changed after tasting them."

The customers were interested. After all, they also wanted to know what kind of delicacy a six RMB tomato was.

A customer pinched a piece into his mouth, and the juice of the tomato immediately filled his mouth. In an instant, the fragrance filled his chest, and his mind immediately became clear.

The noises in the shop made him irritated, but at that moment, he suddenly calmed down.

"How can the tomatoes be so delicious?" The person said incredulously, "No wonder they are so expensive. Boss Zeng is right."

At this moment, Boss Zeng cut a few slices of cabbage and said with a smile, "Try these cabbage. They can also be eaten raw. They are sweet, fresh, and delicious."
