Chapter 1180: The difference
This indeed confused a lot of customers. After all, they were all tomatoes and cucumbers why was it that one shelf could be bought with three hundred cents, the other at five hundred and the final one was marked at two taels a catty?
Li Wan and the rest who were aware of the prices also turned to look at the shelves which had vegetables sorted neatly. They knew what kind of prices Yu Dong usually set and were thus quite surprised when they saw that she had actually marked the prices of vegetables of the same kind from low to high. What was happening?
At this moment, Yu Dong knew that she needed to give an explanation which was why she summoned her spiritual energy to raise her voice and then explained, " Dear customers and my potential customers, we at the Bo and Bun Mall wish to make sure that every person in the town would be well fed and healthy.
The current situation as you have already seen is quite troublesome, even the commoners who earn their money through hard work have to take out silver taels to buy vegetables, I will not say that it is any less unfair to the officials, it is more unjust for the commoners who do not have enough income to make such huge expenses."
" This is the reason why I came up with the plan of planting three varieties of vegetables. The ones marked at three hundred cents are a little better than the normal vegetables but their taste is a bit different than the ones marked at the five hundred and two taels a catties. It's all about the taste and the flavour of the vegetables.
Those who have bought vegetables from me earlier might know how good the high-grade vegetables taste. However, I can assure you that I will deliver the vegetables at the right amount, even if the vegetables at the three hundred cents shelves might be a bit lacking when compared to the higher ones, they are still better than the ones that are sold outside."
" You need to take one from each shelf," Chen Mi said to the mer who looked a bit hesitant. They were going for the honest and fair business policy which was why they needed to be clean from the start.
" Sir, you need to have a taste of each vegetable only then you will understand the difference between them as well as the ones sold outside." He then turned to look at the rest of the crowd and added, " Any one of you can choose what kind of vegetable you want to taste, that way it will be much more clear."
The mers, men and women nodded.
The mer who had chosen the cheapest red tomato heaved a sigh and then turned to the worker who did not even wait for him to say anything. He politely said, " Please wait a moment, our esteemed customer."
The worker then picked up the tomatoes that were pointed by the mer before he started to slice them up into small pieces for the customers to take a bite. He then served each tomato on different plates before explaining, " The one on the left is normal grade, the one in the middle is medium and the one on the right is high grade, please have a taste."
This was the first time the commoners were being treated in the same manner as the officials and the rich, they were quite touched by the way Yu Dong had taught her staff. In the past when they went to the shops in the town they were chased away by the shop owners as they thought that they were not rich enough!
