Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 190: Shop Opening-Questioned

Translator: Lonelytree

Chu Mingjiao was angry because she believed she was being cheated by an actor. "If you're not an actor, why would you buy such expensive vegetables? Do you have that much money?"

Most of the customers present were old customers who had received the news or new customers recommended by old customers or those attracted by the info on the forum. After the tomato taste test, they believed the vegetables were worth their prices.

Clearly, Chu Mingjiao didn't understand the situation. She was suspicious when she saw so many people inside the store.

Some of the old customers were insulted when they heard her call them actors.

"How can you talk like that?" The woman who was talking to Chu Mingjiao was angry too. "Who are you calling an actor? Are you crazy? Do you think the boss can hire so many actors? Just to buy vegetables?"

"Exactly. Do you think the boss can hire actors every day? Or do you think the boss opens the shop to lose money?"

People could be fooled by actors on the first day, but it was not a trick that could be relied on forever. Xiao Lingyu's shop was going to be here long-term.

"Auntie, it's your choice not to buy anything, but you shouldn't be questioning the rest of us." A young lady said, "Miss Xiao's vegetables are expensive, but they are worth the price. Auntie, you haven't tasted her food before, so you have no right to throw your suspicions around like that!"

"That's right. Boss Xiao's vegetables are reasonably priced if you asked me. Who are you to call us actors?"

Chu Mingjiao didn't expect to get such a large reaction from the crowd. She stood there, and her ears turned red. She said. "Fine, since you people say the vegetables are reasonable for their prices, then I'll buy some today. I want to find out why they can be so expensive. If they are not worth the price and I find the boss is deceiving the customers, I'll bring the Commerce Bureau to seize this shop tomorrow!"

Xiao Lingyu narrowed her eye and said in a good-natured manner, "Madam, my shop has clear pricing and no bargaining. The bureau can come to supervise anytime."

Chu Mingjiao looked at the shelves and grabbed a handful of leeks. She didn't even line up and ran to the weighing area angrily. She placed the leeks on the weighing station and said, "Weigh these for me!"

Xiao Lingyu said, "Madam, please line up. This is just normal courtesy." She could not give the woman special priority because she was unreasonable.

"That's right. Line up! We've been queuing orderly, and no one has cut in line!"

"Queue up!"

Chu Mingjiao was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed angrily at Xiao Lingyu and said loudly, "You... Fine, I'll queue up!"

Chu Mingjiao thought to herself, 'Just you wait. I'll bring the Commerce Bureau over tomorrow to close down your shop!' The price might be marked, but it was clearly a hiked-up price.

Xiao Lingyu didn't pay much attention to Chu Mingjiao. As long as she didn't ruin the store, she could do anything she wanted.

Finally, it was Chu Mingjiao's turn. But she was asked 9 RMB for a dozen of leeks.

Chu Mingjiao immediately screamed in disbelief, "Nine RMB? Are you trying to rob me? So expensive! There is not even a catty there. The market sells them for 3 RMB per catty, and you're asking for 9 RMB for less than a catty. This is ridiculous!"

Someone reminded her, "You've taken the high-grade leeks. They are priced at 10 RMB per catty. The normal leeks are 6 RMB per catty!"

"What?" Chu Mingjiao huffed back to the shelf where she took the leek. It was written clearly: High-grade Leeks 9 RMB per catty.
