Chapter 9: Expensive Seafood

As soon as you enter Wanrun Fresh Supermarket, you will see the fruit area.

Various colorful fruits are neatly arranged.

There are many fruits that are not usually seen.

Look at that price again.

Wow, there is nothing cheaper than 100 yuan per pound.

In fact, there are very few items below 300 yuan.

Basically, they are all above 300 yuan.

Seeing the prices of those fruits, many people in the live broadcast room were amazed.

"Oh my god, I've heard that things in Wanrun Fresh Supermarket are expensive, but I didn't expect them to be this expensive."

"Did you see that apple? It looks only a little better than the ones sold outside, but it costs more than 300 yuan per pound."

"An apple costing over 300 yuan is nothing, but a pear costing over 800 yuan is really amazing. It looks almost the same as the ones sold outside, so why is it so expensive?"

"Come on, apples and pears are just a piece of cake. Have you seen those colorful cherries? That's amazing. Over two thousand per pound. They're as good as gold."

“These fruits are so expensive, who can afford them?”

"There are so many rich people in this world. Even though City B is only a second-tier city, there are still many rich people there. These fruits worth hundreds of thousands are nothing, but people still buy steaks worth tens of thousands without blinking an eye."

"There are several buildings near Wanrun Fresh Supermarket. People who live there basically come to Wanrun Fresh Supermarket to buy things. They are the real rich people."

…

Although there are a lot of people in Wanrun Fresh Supermarket, there are not many people buying fruits.

Most of them just go to have a look.

Most of the fruits here are imported, and a small part is produced domestically.

If you look closely, you will find that some domestically produced fruits are more expensive than those sold at the wellhead.

The quality of products that can enter Wanrun Fresh Supermarket is guaranteed.

Mo Qingyan originally only planned to buy some meat and vegetables and go back to cook.

But think about it, you have a spending limit of 100,000.

This 100,000 yuan spending limit must all be spent at Wanrun Fresh Supermarket.

It’s not enough to just buy meat and vegetables.

Shouldn't we have some fruit with dinner?

It is June now, the season when lychees are on the market.

The most expensive lychee in China is Zengcheng Guilu.

This variety of lychee was once offered as tribute to the emperor.

It is rare and is known as the king of lychees.

When you see the word 'tribute', you know that the price of these lychees will definitely not be cheap.

However, the price of Guilu lychees in Wanrunxianchao Zengcheng is dozens of times more expensive than buying them outside.

The reason is that the Zengcheng Guilu that is oversold in Wanrunxian is picked from three generations of mother trees.

Even if it is a third-generation mother tree, it is still a lychee tree that is more than a hundred years old.

Lychee is a very delicate fruit.

If you don't soak them in ice water from the moment you pick them, they will quickly lose their freshness.

Even if you put it in the refrigerator, it won't last for more than a few days.

The most important thing is that the temperature for storing lychees should not be too high, otherwise they will easily lose their freshness.

If it is too low, the sweetness of the lychee will be lost.

Therefore, lychees must be eaten as soon as possible after being picked.

In order to ensure the freshness of the lychees, the place where the lychees are placed is covered with crushed ice.

There are even ice packs in the gift box.

Such a delicate preservation method, coupled with such a rare species.

Naturally, the price won’t be that low.

There are thirty lychees in a gift box.

The price is three thousand yuan.

That’s right, three thousand yuan.

It is equivalent to one hundred yuan per litchi.

Seeing this price, not to mention the audience in the live broadcast room, even Mo Qingyan, who has always lived a wealthy life, felt that the price was too expensive to afford.

After all, the so-called third-generation mother tree is actually just a nice name.

There is only one real mother tree, and the others are just grafted plants.

The taste is definitely not as good as the real first-generation mother tree.

However, Mo Qingyan is just consuming now, so the price doesn't matter.

"Do you two eat lychees?"

Mo Qingyan asked Song Beichen and Yin Yiyi who were following behind her.

"Food."

"Eat."

The two nodded in unison.

After getting the answer, Mo Qingyan directly picked up the three boxes and put them into the cart pushed by Song Beichen.

There are only five boxes of lychee gift boxes, but Mo Qingyan actually took three boxes at once.

Not only the people around who were watching were stunned, but the audience in the live broadcast room were also stunned.

"Oh my god, so arrogant. He actually took three boxes of lychees at once."

"These three boxes of lychees must cost 9,000 yuan. That's two months' salary for me."

"Too arrogant. I thought their lunch of more than 10,000 yuan was luxurious enough. I didn't expect that a piece of fruit would cost 9,000 yuan."

"More than 10,000 yuan for lunch? Shouldn't it be 30,000 yuan? Zhang Tianhao booked a private room at that time. The minimum consumption for that private room seems to be 30,000 yuan."

"Damn, 30,000? They ate more than 10,000, so they need to make up for it by more than 10,000, right?"

"That's right. Seeing how readily Mo Qingyan swiped the card, I guess she didn't take the 30,000 yuan seriously. After all, people would easily spend 9,000 yuan to buy a piece of fruit now."

"My goodness, it's only the second day and I've already deeply felt the gap between ordinary people like us and the rich."

…

For Song Beichen and Yin Yiyi, these nine thousand boxes of lychees were nothing.

Yin Yiyi even said to Mo Qingyan, "Brother Mo likes to eat lychees? I see there are two boxes left, do you want to take those two boxes as well?"

"No, three boxes are enough."

Mo Qingyan bought these lychees not only because they were expensive, but also because he suddenly remembered a dish made with lychees.

I suddenly wanted to make that dish, so I chose lychees.

After buying lychees, Mo Qingyan bought two fresh lemons.

Finally we turned to the seafood area.

This seafood area has all kinds of high-end seafood.

Mo Qingyan bought three plump shrimps weighing more than a pound.

This big lobster is sold by the piece, and the price of one is 9,800 yuan.

Almost thirty thousand was lost in one go.

When Song Beichen saw the price, he couldn't help but say, "The price of this red dragon is not cheap."

Yin Yiyi echoed, “It’s definitely not cheap.”

Normally, they would go out to eat and spend ten or twenty thousand dollars without thinking it was a big deal.

After all, at such prices, most people would go to five-star restaurants.

But now, the three big lobsters each weigh only a little over one pound.

A lobster this big costs nearly ten thousand dollars.

The price is indeed a bit expensive.

What’s more, this is just the price of the ingredients, not including the processing costs!

Both of them thought the price was a bit high, and the audience in the live broadcast room thought it was outrageously expensive.

A lobster weighing just over one pound costs almost ten thousand yuan.

As for the lobster, after peeling the shell, there are probably only two bites of meat.

It's not worth ten thousand dollars.

Even Song Beichen and Yin Yiyi thought the lobsters were a bit expensive, but Mo Qingyan bought three at once.

The kind that doesn't even blink an eye.

After buying the red lobster, Mo Qingyan walked forward and saw the lively and huge deep-sea tiger shrimp in the center of the seafood area.

This is what we often call tiger shrimp.

This tiger shrimp is very big, as thick as an adult man's arm. The tiger stripes on the body are clearly visible.

Deep sea fish like this are usually frozen.

Tiger prawns as big as this are not cheap even if they are frozen.

If it is fresh, the price will be more than ten times higher.

The tiger prawns that Mo Qingyan bought weighed one kilogram each.

Tiger prawns of this size are extremely rare.

What's more, it's still fresh.

The price of a shrimp reached twelve thousand yuan.

That’s right, the price of one shrimp is twelve thousand yuan.

Mo Qingyan took three directly.

For three of them, the price is 36,000.

One □□ would cost tens of thousands.

A few tiger prawns cost more than 30,000 yuan.

What you are eating are not shrimps, but money!

However, Mo Qingyan bought it without blinking an eye.

Not to mention the audience, even Song Beichen and Yin Yiyi were a little surprised.

Why do they feel that Brother Mo is a bit of a spendthrift?

On the way here, they all rushed to tell Mo Qingyan that they should pay for the things they bought.

But looking at the way Mo Qingyan was buying the ingredients, wouldn’t the price of tonight’s meal be close to 100,000?

After all, the fruit costs more than 9,000 yuan.

The red dragon costs another 30,000, plus the more than 30,000 tiger prawns, the total is more than 70,000.

More than 70,000 yuan to cook a meal, even if they have a mine at home, they still think it is too extravagant.

The audience in the live broadcast room felt that Mo Qingyan was going too far.

"I wonder if Mo Qingyan is a bit too much. Although Song Beichen and Yin Yiyi both said they would pay for the things they buy, Mo Qingyan can't just cheat them whenever she catches them, right?"

"Actually, I wanted to say this when we were buying fruit just now. Lychees are so expensive, and Mo Qingyan took three boxes at once. It wasn't appropriate in the first place."

"Forget about the lychees. Song Beichen and the others think the price of red dragon is a bit expensive. I didn't expect that Mo Qingyan would buy the most expensive tiger shrimp. Tiger shrimps cost 12,000 yuan each. Mo Qingyan actually dared to buy them. Isn't this treating Song Beichen and Yin Yiyi like fish?"

"I thought Mo Qingyan was pretty good before, but now it seems like there's something wrong with her character!"

…

Because before coming, Song Beichen and Yin Yiyi both said that they would pay for the purchase this time.

Therefore, everyone in the live broadcast room thought that these things needed to be paid for by the two of them.

It was too much for Mo Qingyan to buy such expensive seafood.

Although Song Beichen and Yin Yiyi felt that these seafood were a bit expensive.

But it’s not like they can’t afford the bill.

Then he didn't say anything.

Unexpectedly, Mo Qingyan turned around and bought ten authentic Yanghu crabs.

You know, this authentic Yanghu crab is not cheap. Moreover, all the ones Mo Qingyan bought were female.

Moreover, the specifications are top-notch.

These ten crabs alone cost more than ten thousand, almost twenty thousand.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Qingyan bought top-quality black pork.

Finally, the key point is the eggs.

Although eggs are not cheap either.

But compared to those seafoods that cost tens of thousands, these black-haired eggs from farmers, which cost only a dozen yuan each, are really very cheap.

Then, I bought some vegetables, seasonings and so on.

After the final payment calculation, the price had exceeded one hundred thousand.
