Chapter 887: The Plum

In less than five minutes, half a watermelon, a few apples, and a few plums were eaten.

Then, when there was only one plum left, Peter and his subordinate looked at each other, their eyes shining. Then, the two of them quickly moved to snatch the plums.

Peter said loudly in anger, “Walter, I’m your boss. How dare you snatch the last plums? Do you still want your job?”

His subordinate, Walter said fearlessly, “Boss, you’ve eaten more than half of the basket? Can’t you give this last one to your subordinate? I haven’t eaten much yet.”

More than half of the watermelon, two apples, and three plums had been eaten by his boss Peter. As for him, he had only eaten a small piece of watermelon, one apple, and now there was only one plum left. He hadn’t tasted the taste of the plums yet, so he couldn’t give up on it.

After burping, Peter said, “No, I haven’t had enough. This belongs to me!”

Walter said excitedly, “Boss, you’ve eaten three plums, and there’s only one left. Can you let me have a taste?” With that, he reached into the basket.

Peter said, “No, you can go buy more if you want. This mine!” Then, he went to snatch the last plums in the basket.

This thing was too delicious.

His subordinate said with a bitter face, “But, Boss, can’t you give me the plum? Tomorrow, I’ll get people to buy more.” Then, he fought for the plum.

Peter’s face darkened. He looked at his subordinate and said through gritted teeth, “Walter, I’m your superior. You must listen to what I say!”

In the end, the plum was divided into two halves, one for each person.

After eating half of the plum, Peter touched his full belly with an unclear expression.

He glanced at the vegetables in the other basket and asked, “Is the price and taste of the fruits and vegetables at Green Fresh all like this?”

The subordinate shook his head and said, “No. The items in that supermarket are divided into three grades. The price of each grade is different. The better the quality, the higher the price, and sometimes it can be twice as high.”

“Then what grade were we eating?” Peter asked again.

The subordinate said, “It seems to be the third grade or the lowest grade. And the price is also the cheapest.”

When Peter heard this, the corner of his mouth could not help but twitch. Earlier, he thought that the goods were too cheap, but it was actually their cheapest items.

However, even if the price doubled for the better quality stuff, they would only cost 3000. That was still a distance away from the 5000 RMB if they bought the same thing at Royal Forest.

The quality was good, the taste was good, and the price was not high. No wonder so many people went to buy the goods from that supermarket.

However, he knew very well in his heart that those rich and powerful people were not interested in the taste or the price but in their face.

No matter how good the food was, as long as they felt that the price had dropped, they would not buy it. Because they couldn’t be caught eating cheap stuff. That would hurt their face.

A similar analogy could be found between a western restaurant and a street food stall. No matter how delicious the food in a street food stall was, rich people with status wouldn’t eat there because it would lower their value too much.

Royal Forest and Green Fresh were like a western restaurant and a street food stall.

But in this case, the street food stall had defeated the Western restaurant.

There must be a reason for this.

Peter thought for a moment and immediately ordered Walter to investigate.
