Chapter 67 Vegetables sold out
Aunt Ye was so angry that she wanted to curse, but Dad Ye managed to keep a straight face. There was no evidence and no clue who it was. The more angry you are, the more likely it is that the troublemaker is hiding there and laughing!
"Let's install some surveillance cameras tomorrow, even over the mountain! We have computers at home anyway, so it's okay!"
Dad Ye tried to appease Aunt Ye instead, and was so angry that he felt it was not worth it.
Aunt Ye held it in for a long time, and was so angry that she couldn't help but say: "Who are these people?"
"It's okay. Let's go. What else do you want to eat? Pick it yourself."
Father Ye picked up the pumpkin vine and turned around to greet him.
"Let's go. It will be hard to walk after dark. Don't we have to go to work tomorrow?"
Aunt Ye suppressed her emotions, picked up the vegetables from the ground, and told Grandma Ye and the others as soon as she got home.
Ye Zhen frowned, she did not expect such a thing to happen. After all, she was careless. After being in the world of immortal cultivation for a long time, these vegetables were nothing in her eyes. They were not even as good as a weed containing spiritual energy on the roadside in the world of immortal cultivation.
So I didn't spend any time on protection, and I didn't expect that someone would do such a thankless task.
"Who is this evil-hearted person? Haven't we done well enough? He led us to plant strawberries without hiding anything." Mother Ye cursed angrily.
She wanted to stand in the village with a loud speaker and curse for an hour, making that evil-hearted person unable to eat or sleep.
"I guess it's because we make money from selling vegetables and attract people's attention." Grandpa Ye puffed on his cigarette, his brows heavy as the smoke lingered.
"It's okay, just put up a tent and I'll watch over there during the day!"
"Dad, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Just install a few surveillance cameras. Speaking of which, when the time comes, everyone will install them when they grow strawberries. Who knows who will come and sabotage them! Be more careful this time. No one expected that someone would do this." Dad Ye suggested.
In the past, everyone was poor and no one laughed at anyone else, but if someone suddenly becomes rich, he or she may become jealous.
"Then I'll go buy a few more online." Ye Zhen made the decision directly. Using spiritual energy for monitoring is too luxurious. High technology is more convenient.
Grandma Ye did not participate in the follow-up. She packed some rice dumplings, dried mushrooms, pickled bamboo shoots, salted duck eggs and other things for Aunt Ye.
I'm afraid we won't see each other again until the Mid-Autumn Festival this time. Grandma Ye gave us detailed instructions, and her words were mostly full of reluctance.
"Mom, buy yourself some delicious food. Don't be reluctant to give up what you and Dad want to eat. I bought some milk powder. Remember to drink it every day and do less heavy work!"
Aunt Ye put the money into Grandma Ye's pocket. Afraid that Grandma Ye would not accept it, she kept holding her hand to prevent her from moving. After she finished giving her instructions and took a few steps, she was afraid that Grandma Ye would put it back.
"I have money, I don't need you to give it to me! I eat and drink delicious food every day, and you spend a lot of money on it yourself, so take it back."
Sure enough, Grandma Ye immediately took out the money and stuffed it back, but Aunt Ye blocked her hand:
"Take it if you give it to me. I'm leaving now and will come to see you later."
Aunt Ye didn't say much, because the more she said, the harder it would be to refuse, so she just walked out.
"Hey, bring everything with you. If the food I gave you tastes good, call me next time and ask Ye Zi to send it to you."
Grandma Ye didn't refuse and walked out of the door in a hurry. It was getting late as the family saw off Aunt Ye.
Mother Ye packed up her things, prepared dinner for the old couple, and went back to her parents' home with Father Ye and Ye Zhen and his sister.

Feng'an City Wanmao Large Supermarket
Early in the morning, supermarket stockers put the goods on the shelves according to the product list. In the fresh food area, neatly packaged fruits and vegetables are placed in rows and price tags are affixed.
Among the many vegetables, Ye Zhen’s vegetables are the most expensive and the most carefully packaged, which is several times higher than the purchase price!
But people have long been accustomed to it. Housewives carefully select their favorite fruits and vegetables and compare them one by one.
"Hey, look at this sweet potato vine. It's so fresh and tender, just like it was just picked."
"If you think it's fresh, buy more. The things in Wanmao Supermarket are pretty good."
A couple was pushing a shopping basket. The wife picked up a box of sweet potatoes and looked at the price.
"Hiss!" Isn't this too expensive?
Sweet potato vines usually cost four or five yuan in ordinary supermarkets, but this one costs thirty-two yuan a box!
The man didn't seem to understand the price either, "Is this expensive?"
"This must be expensive!" the woman vowed.
"Don't we buy these often? This can't be that expensive, right?" the man hesitated.
However, "the things in Wanmao Supermarket are expensive, but they are healthier than those in other places."
The couple doesn’t know much about the prices of vegetables. Usually, they either have the nanny buy them for them or have them delivered to their home.
Today is a holiday and the nanny is on holiday. Plus the whole family is reunited, so the couple specifically told the deliveryman not to deliver the goods and planned to go out to the supermarket themselves.
"Is that so?" The woman was also stunned.
Well, it’s understandable that healthy things are more expensive.
The products looked good, so the woman picked out quite a few more dishes without even looking at the prices, and her shopping cart was almost full.
"Almost done, let's take a look at the fruits! We also need to buy some meat later."
They bought a lot of imported high-end fruits one after another. The man inadvertently saw the huge yellow crystal plum in the middle and picked up two boxes. There were not many, only six in one box, which cost two hundred and ninety-nine yuan.
Maybe it was because the fruit looked good, many people thought it was good and bought one or two boxes.
The staff replenished the vegetables in a timely manner. The vegetables were selling quickly and had to be put back on the shelves immediately.
In addition, in order to increase sales during the Dragon Boat Festival, the supermarket also uses various fruits and flowers to make fruit baskets. Not to mention they are quite beautiful, with fruits of various colors dotted among the flowers, making them very special as gifts.
But the price is quite good, only 699 per basket.
If Ye Zhen saw this, she would be depressed. She thought the fruit was too expensive, but she didn't expect that she was overthinking. The capitalists were more and more skilled in extortion. They used some tricks to double the price.

"Hmm!" Wang Jia picked up a piece of garlic-stirred water spinach with chopsticks. As soon as she took a bite, she was amazed by the taste. It was green and tender, without any vegetable residue or old stems. It was very refreshing.
After swallowing the vegetables in her mouth, she turned around and asked her husband:
"When did the family change the chef?"
The husband was puzzled by her actions, "I didn't change it."
"Then why is this dish so delicious?!"
"Sorry, let's try it." Seeing that her loud voice startled others, Wang Jia smiled embarrassedly and busied herself entertaining her parents-in-law.
"Where did you buy this dish?" Grandma Wang Jia ate a little, put down her chopsticks, and turned her head to ask her daughter-in-law.
"It's Wanmao Supermarket." Wang Jia replied
"That's right, I'll order the food from that restaurant next time I go home."
It’s no wonder that Wang Jia’s mother-in-law made such a decision. It’s because she and her husband are old and they eat light meals every day. Although the quality of the dishes at home is usually good, they are far inferior to what they have in front of them.
The same scene happened in many families. People who had bought Ye Zhen's vegetables from Wanmao Supermarket immediately sent people to buy them. The vegetables in the fresh food shelves were immediately sold out. The supermarket manager mobilized the fresh food warehouse to replenish them urgently. Many people were reluctant to leave. Before the sorter put the vegetables on the shelves, they were surrounded by waiting customers.
Boxes were placed in the shopping carts one by one. Many people who were rushing to grab them immediately retreated, and those who couldn't squeeze in at the back squeezed in, causing the supermarket supervisor to rush to maintain order:
"Everyone, slow down. There are still some left in the warehouse. Please get in line."
