Xu Yilan asked the nanny to open the gift bags. Inside the two gift bags were two large gift boxes with the logo of the luxury brand store printed on them.
Opening the two gift boxes, you will see neatly arranged fresh vegetables and fruits.
The fruit gift box is made of layers of cream strawberries and sunshine roses in red and green to form a big heart shape. In the middle of the heart are large, shiny red and black, plump cherries, and yellow mangoes, red apples and green star fruits fill the gaps around the edges.
The vegetable gift box contained some fresh seasonal vegetables. The green broccoli was trimmed into a small umbrella shape, with a circle of white mushrooms underneath. Colorful peppers, tomatoes, green beans, purple cabbage, etc. were neatly arranged, and they looked very fresh.
"Pfft, how can a luxury store give out these things?" Lu Siyuan, who was playing games nearby, saw the contents of the box and said mockingly, "Why are there two green onions in this vegetable box? Giving green onions to VIP customers? Is this luxury store doing some kind of performance art?"
Lu Siyuan is a young master who has nothing to lose and he doesn't care about buying groceries or cooking. He doesn't know that green onions are now hard to come by in the market.
Since the tornado, the temperature has been high. There is no green at all in the vegetable section of the supermarket. The fruit section is even worse, with only some dried fruits such as red dates left.
In order to retain their customers, luxury stores purchase expensive fruits and vegetables from special channels, package them into gift boxes, and give them to their high-end VIP customers.
Although vegetables and fruits are basically unavailable on the market now, there are companies that engage in large-scale indoor cultivation and breeding in closed factories with the most advanced temperature control technology and the best planting experts.
The cost of growing these indoor vegetables is already very high, and because there are no other vegetables on the market, things are scarce and expensive, so the prices of these high-cost vegetables have been rising.
Ordinary people cannot afford these vegetables, but wealthy families like the Lu family can afford them, so there is never a shortage of vegetables and fruits in the Lu family.
The two boxes of vegetables and fruits sent by the luxury store are like timely help to ordinary people, but to the Lu family they are just icing on the cake.
The society’s resources have always been gathered at the top in various ways.
Xu Yilan looked at these fruits and vegetables. She thought of Xia Shige and said worriedly:
"Xiao Yuan, don't you know that vegetables and fruits are out of stock in the market? I don't know if your sister Shi Ge can eat them now."
"Mom, why do you care about her!" Now when Lu Siyuan thought of Xia Shige, he felt his arms numb. He didn't know what that damn woman used to shock him!
Lu Siyuan tapped on the screen of his phone anxiously, playing games and saying, "She got more than 600,000 yuan. Isn't 600,000 yuan enough for her to eat and drink? You might as well pay more attention to me. When will dad increase my pocket money? Now it's only 20,000 yuan a month, which is not enough for me to spend! The weather is so hot, my classmates all went to the North Pole to play, and I didn't have any money in my pocket, so I didn't dare to join in the fun."
Hearing this, Xu Yilan comforted Lu Siyuan and said, "After a while, when the company's business improves, I'll increase your pocket money. Besides, your sister is about to get engaged, wouldn't it be good for you to stay at home and accompany your sister more during this period?"
After hearing this, Lu Siyuan nodded helplessly.
At this time, Lu Sixue was in the room enjoying the cool breeze while choosing her engagement dress. She asked a well-known designer to design it. The thin wedding dress was decorated with dazzling crystals, which was exactly what she liked.
Lu Sixue also knew about Lu Xu's plan to recognize her as her own, but in this way, even if Xia Shige returned to the Lu family, she would still be a illegitimate daughter. Illegitimate children would be criticized no matter where they were, and Xia Shige was destined to not be able to hold her head up in front of her.
Thinking of this, Lu Sixue felt even happier.
