In the evening, Xia Huiyin returned home and said with some fear, "Today, two customers got into a fight in the supermarket. The shelves were knocked over and the goods on the shelves were scattered all over the floor. It took us a long time to clean up."
The family quickly asked what was going on.
Xia Huiyin took a sip of the iced orange juice on the coffee table and replied, "It's been too hot these past few days, and cold drinks are sold out. As soon as a batch of cold drinks arrived this morning, several customers were waiting at the door. In the end, only ten boxes of ice cream arrived this time. One customer was ready to take all ten boxes, and the other customer refused to accept it, so the two of them started fighting. Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, and everyone was angry, and they couldn't stop fighting."
Xia Shige asked anxiously, "Mom, are you okay? Did they hurt you?"
Xia Huiyin shook her head: "I'm fine. Luckily the Lin family's daughters were all in a hurry, and they kicked the troublemakers out. Those two customers continued to fight outside, and they almost called the police."
Xia Shige breathed a sigh of relief.
A similar thing happened a few days ago. Xia Shige brought some vegetables from the Taoyuan Space farmland to Jingjing Supermarket for sale. They were quickly sold out, and no one complained that the vegetables were too expensive. They all rushed to buy and pay for them silently.
But unexpectedly, two aunts started fighting over the last cabbage.
"Are you sick? You want to snatch from me a cabbage that costs 200 yuan? How much does your family earn in a month?" said a woman who was dressed more decently.
"What do you care about me? My grandson specifically asked for cabbage dumplings. I will get them for him no matter how expensive they are!" said another older sister. She was dressed a little ordinary, wearing cheap, pilling old clothes, but she was determined to get the cabbage.
You can’t buy vegetables in the market. A cabbage like this costs at least 600 yuan in a high-end supermarket, but you can buy it for 200 yuan in the market. She doesn’t think it’s expensive. What’s more, as long as her precious grandson wants to eat it, she is willing to buy it for the child!
"My son hasn't eaten vegetables for several days. Why don't you wait until the vegetables from the vegetable garden are harvested in a few days before buying them? The price will definitely be cheaper then!" said the well-dressed woman as she snatched the vegetables.
"You are kidding me! Look at the weather, does it look like vegetables can grow in a vegetable garden? You think I've never farmed before, right? Let me tell you, my whole family just moved here from the countryside! I've been able to farm since I was in my mother's womb, how could I be fooled by a city person like you?!"
She had planted dozens of acres of land in the countryside. A tornado some time ago destroyed her house in the countryside, so she had to move to her son's home in Xindu Community. She knew very well that the current weather was very abnormal and she was afraid that there would be a severe drought this week. She continued, "Since you said so, you should wait until the vegetables in the field are harvested before buying them!"
"I have money, why should I wait?! Let go! Do you know what my family does?"
"Even if you are the king of your family, you can't stop me from buying cabbage! Let me go!"
The two people were arguing fiercely.
There were only Xia Shige and Lin Jingjing in the supermarket at that time. They tried their best to persuade the two customers to stay.
Lin Jingjing split the cabbage in half with a knife and sold half to each of them.
Not long after the two men left, a few more customers came.
As soon as they entered the supermarket, they rushed to the fresh food section and saw that it was empty. They asked, "Are there no more vegetables?"
"No more." Lin Jingjing replied.
"We live in the garden community next door. We came here because our friends told us you have cheap vegetables here." One of the middle-aged men asked, "Where do you get these vegetables from? Can you tell us?"
Faced with the man's suspicious eyes, Xia Shige could only perfunctorily say that it was the current inventory.
