Taoyuan Village Green Fresh supermarket was the biggest vegetable supermarket in Beijing. The decoration was luxurious and extravagant. It was already very surprising that a store that sold vegetables would use such decorations.

However, what shocked the customers the most was the prices of the stuff.

Even though they were not short of money, when the young masters who didn't know the prices of daily necessities saw the prices, their expressions were indescribable.

"Is this cabbage?" A well-dressed young man pointed at a cabbage with a puzzled expression.

A young man next to him looked at it, then pointed at a sign and said, "It says here it's cabbage. That should be cabbage!"

"188 RMB for a cabbage? Am I seeing things?" Li Jiamin saw the price tag on it. "I heard that cabbage should be very cheap. And what is this purple and long thing?"

"This is an eggplant, right?" A young man next to him said with uncertainty, "I've seen it on TV. How much does this eggplant cost? 88 RMB for one."

"88 RMB a piece? That's really much cheaper than cabbage," said Li Jiamin. But he was not really correct. One cabbage weighed around three catties, while an eggplant weighed less than half a catty. Therefore, the eggplant was definitely much more expensive.

Normal people would have this common sense. However, these young masters had been well-fed since they were young. The food they ate was prepared by professionals. As for these raw materials, they had never seen them before.

"Ah, this is a tomato, right?" Li Jiamin saw the red tomatoes on the shelf and immediately said with certainty, "This is indeed a tomato. I've seen and eaten it before!"

"This tomato smells really fragrant! I remember tomatoes can be eaten raw like fruits." The young master next to him said.

Then, a shop assistant came over and asked very politely, "Gentlemen, is there a problem?"

Li Jiamin pointed at the tomato and said, "Can these things be eaten directly?"

The shop assistant smiled and said, "Of course! Tomatoes can be eaten directly as fruit. Moreover, our tomatoes taste better when eaten raw. Why don't we cut one open and let you have a taste?"

"Can we?" Li Jiamin's eyes lit up.

"Of course!" The shop assistant smiled and said, "Please wait a moment!" After saying that, the shop assistant went to find a fruit knife and a plate. He took a random tomato from the shelf, washed it, and then cut it open. The fragrance was already very strong, but when it was cut open, the fragrance was even more intense.

"It smells so good. Is this a tomato?" A young lady next to them was carrying a basket and holding a four-or five-year-old child with one hand.

The child's small nose twitched. Then, he said to the young lady in a very cultured manner, "Mom, I want to eat tomatoes. Is that okay?"

At this moment, the shop assistant squatted down with a plate in hand and asked with a smile, "Little child, do you usually like to eat tomatoes?"

The child nodded his head crisply and said, "Yes, I do!"

"Come. I'll give you a piece to try!" The shop assistant used a toothpick to pick up the tomato slice and handed it to the child.

The child didn't take it immediately. Instead, he looked at the young lady with a look of inquiry and desire in his eyes.

The young lady smiled and said, "Okay, let's try it!"

The child immediately took it happily and said, "Thank you, Big Sister!"
