In just one night, Taoyuan Village Green Fresh became famous in the area.
Yesterday, those people thought that the things sold there were ridiculously expensive. But today, they came early in the morning to line up. Their biggest advantage was that they lived nearby and were very close to the supermarket.
However, when they arrived at the entrance of the supermarket, they realized that they were still too late because there was already a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the supermarket, and they were all familiar faces.
“Auntie Wang, you came so early today!”
“Yes, yesterday I bought an eggplant here. My grandson likes to eat it very much. He kept saying he wanted more, so I came early in the morning. I didn’t expect you to come so early too.”
“Haha. Your grandson likes it, but for me, it’s my old partner who likes it. Yesterday, I bought a few pieces of tofu. After eating it, he kept telling me to come and buy them again.”
“Uncle Zhang, you’re here too?”
Uncle Zhang held a recyclable bag in his hand and said with a smile, “I had to come. After my granddaughter ate an apple I bought here, she kept bugging me to buy more for her.” Yesterday, he bought two apples because they looked big and beautiful. He and his wife shared one, and he gave the other to his granddaughter. His granddaughter immediately got addicted. The apples were too delicious. It was crisp and sweet.
Throughout yesterday afternoon, his granddaughter had been making a scene to get him to buy more apples. Therefore, he returned to the supermarket after lunch. However, when he arrived, he found out that almost all the stuff was only. Only a few dry goods were left. He went to the second floor and noticed that all the shelves were empty.
He asked a staff member and pointed at the shelves. “Where are these fruits? Are there any apples left?”
The staff member replied politely, “Sir, the fruits are all sold out. The apples are also sold out.”
Uncle Zhang was very surprised. “So fast?!”
The staff member didn’t tell him that the fruits were bought by the same few people. He just smiled and said, “Yes, they are all sold out. Sir, do you still need anything?”
Uncle Zhang said, “My granddaughter kept asking for the apples, so I thought of coming back to buy some more.” The apples here were 108 RMB each. It was expensive, but it was worth it. Plus, Uncle Zhang’s family didn’t lack money. Since his granddaughter loved them, he would buy more apples. However, he didn’t expect that the stock would be sold out in one morning. This was too unbelievable for him.
The staff member said with a smile, “Sir, everything in our supermarket today has been sold out. If you need it, you might have to come early tomorrow. Our supermarket does not accept reservations. First come, first serves.”
Uncle Zhang understood the meaning. He sighed lightly and said, “Okay, I’ll be early tomorrow.”
At this moment, he was very clear that from that day onwards, the supermarket had gotten really famous. He knew that those who had bought things from this supermarket would come back again. In addition, he realized there was a group of well-dressed people who were cleaning out the shelves that morning. They would probably return too.
“Are the fruits here also that delicious?” Some people were so busy looking at the prices of the vegetables that they forgot to look at the fruits upstairs.
Of course, there were some who went upstairs and immediately retreated when they saw the fruits were even more expensive than the vegetables.
This morning, some returned for the vegetables, and others returned for the fruits.
Uncle Zhang nodded, “I bought two apples here yesterday. They are the best apples I’ve ever eaten. My granddaughter loves them. When I came back to buy them yesterday, the store was already empty. The staff asked me to come here early in the morning. So, I did.”
“The things here are too good, right?” Some questioned it. “I cooked with the vegetables yesterday. The fragrance was so strong. That’s abnormal. Will there be any problems?”
“Don’t worry. The supermarket doesn’t only open in Beijing. There are chains all over the country. Don’t you see the sign? This is their 45th chain.
“Yesterday, I heard from my daughter that Taoyuan Village Green Fresh Supermarket’s first store opened three years ago. If there were anything wrong, it would have been reported already.
“But look. The reviews online about this supermarket are very positive. My daughter also said that someone tried to frame the supermarket in the past, but they failed.”
“Oh? Is there really such a thing?” Someone asked curiously.
“Yes, but the supermarket held on with the support of the rich and noble families.”
“Speaking of, I think I saw many rich people in the supermarket yesterday.”
“Are you sure?” Someone exclaimed, “Those rich and powerful people didn’t send a nanny to buy vegetables but personally came?”
Someone said mysteriously, “I heard that this supermarket has a very strong backer. Those rich people came yesterday because they wanted to make some connections with the owner.”
“Oh. I’ve heard of that too! This supermarket is owned by the young madam of a powerful family in Beijing,” Someone whispered, “But I suppose those rich people wouldn’t come in person anymore today.”
“You’re right!”
Someone looked at the time and asked with some doubt, “What time does this supermarket open? It’s already 7:30, and there’s still no movement.”
Then, someone noticed a notice posted at the door and said, “It says here that the supermarket opens at 8:00!”
Someone said in confusion, “Other supermarkets open at 7:00, but this place opens at 8:00. Do they plan for people to have breakfast first before coming here?”
“Haha. If I have to guess, it’s for the staff to have their breakfast first.”
“Since it’s open at eight o’clock, I’ll go back and make breakfast for my family first. I’ll come back later.” She thought the supermarket would open early. She planned to grab a few things and then go home to make breakfast.
However, since the opening time was so late, she decided to go home to make breakfast for her family first. Many of them had the same thoughts as her. They were all residents who lived nearby, so they could hurry back.
However, they didn’t expect that when they came back, stuff at the supermarket was almost sold out again.
It had only been around an hour since they went back. Almost everything at such a big supermarket was sold out? Yesterday, this time, there were still many things left on the shelf.
“Grandma Song, have they not stocked the shelves?” An auntie who went home to make breakfast asked.
“Auntie Chen, that’s not true. They’ve stocked the shelves, and the stock is all sold out.” Grandma Song said with a smile.
“Ah, it can’t be.” Auntie Chen was puzzled.
“But it’s true. You didn’t see it because you weren’t here. Just as the door was about to open, a group of people suddenly rushed out and squeezed at the door. Then, as soon as the door opened, they nimbly put the vegetables on the shelves into their carts. Then, the rest was afraid of missing out, so they also rushed in,” Said Grandma song.
Auntie Chen, “…” She was confused, “But the things here aren’t cheap, right?” She could understand people fighting for cheap stuff.
Grandma Song explained, “Auntie Chen, do you think the customers couldn’t afford the food here? The things here are expensive, but there’s a reason why. Rich people won’t care about the prices.”
Auntie Chen, “…”
Grandma Song was one of the rich people.
