Chapter 126 Grandmothers
Yue Qi was very happy to see Wang Baozhu arrive. She took a plate from the side, put two peeled fresh oranges on it, and handed them to Wang Baozhu and the boy next to her.
"Sister Wang, why don't you try this orange first, and this handsome guy should try some too."
Wang Baozhu glanced at the oranges in front of him, and saw people scrambling for them around him. Curious, he picked one up and decided to try it to see what it tasted like.
The boy next to her glanced at Wang Baozhu's expression, then picked up half an orange as well.
The two of them tasted the oranges around the same time. After eating the oranges, Wang Baozhu's face clearly showed satisfaction, while the boy's face revealed surprise.
Then, seeing Wang Baozhu's obviously happy expression, he peeled the orange, not even bothering to eat it himself, and fed it to her.
"Sister Wang, let me feed you."
Wang Baozhu glanced at the other person but did not refuse, and ate it from the other person's hand.
Then he said to Yue Qi, "President Yue, the good stuff you mentioned must be these oranges, right? They do taste really good."
Yue Qi smiled and said, "That's right. Sister Wang, I specifically negotiated with the supplier. Our supermarket was one of the first to sell these oranges."
After listening, Wang Baozhu nodded with great satisfaction. "President Yue, I know you always have a good eye for quality. These oranges come in premium packaging, right? Give me ten boxes. I'll send some to my parents and keep some for myself."
Then, upon seeing the boy next to her, she seemed to remember something and said, "Oh right, this is my boyfriend. Let's send him two more boxes too."
When the boy saw that Wang Baozhu was thinking about him, he immediately smiled.
Yue Qi didn't say much, but noted down these requirements.
"Okay, don't worry, we've prepared the premium packaging, and we can deliver it directly to your door."
"Okay, that's good." Wang Baozhu was very satisfied.
The conversation between Yue Qi and Wang Baozhu didn't affect anyone else. People have a herd mentality; seeing so many people crowding around the expensive pile of oranges and taking more, they knew the oranges must be delicious.
After tasting them, I found it to be true, so I went in and got some oranges too.
After seeing Wang Baozhu off, Yue Qi came to check on the supermarket and was pleased to find that oranges were selling very well.
Of course, she wouldn't just cater to Wang Baozhu, who was a wealthy person. She prepared gifts for everyone who frequently visited their supermarket, as well as for those the boss asked her to keep an eye out for. Those gift boxes were specifically for them.
Of course, she also prepared quite a lot for herself. These oranges taste really good, and the boss generously gave her several boxes as a year-end gift she asked for from him.
Yue Qi glanced at the oranges and left satisfied, while the other supermarket employees were busy running around.
Moreover, these people were incredibly aggressive. At first, they hesitated because of the price of 20 yuan, but after seeing everyone around them grabbing it and finding it delicious after tasting it themselves, they all started stuffing it into their bags without restraint.
Soon, after a scramble among the crowd, there weren't many oranges left, so the employees had to bring some more from the warehouse to replenish them.
"How come they're all gone again? I didn't even take many."
"I'm also because the people before me took too much; we don't have much left now."
"Don't worry, everyone, we'll restock right away."
They kept restocking, and customers kept taking things, making the whole supermarket very lively.
After buying the oranges, Grandma Song went home with her two old friends.
On the way, Grandma Wang felt a little sorry for herself. "Oh dear, I accidentally took too much. The child hasn't come back yet. It's not necessary for the two of us old folks to eat all this fruit at home."
Grandma Song shook her head, "What's the point of this? The children aren't back yet, so you two can just eat them. These oranges are so delicious, they'll be gone in a few days. There's no need to be so frugal like before."
"That's certainly true." Grandma Wang sighed and forced herself to stop thinking about these things.
The three walked all the way to the residential area. After saying goodbye to the other two, Grandma Song carried a large bag of oranges and went home.
As soon as she entered the house and changed her shoes, she said anxiously, "Old Niu, Old Niu, look what I bought!"
Grandpa Niu slowly walked out, saying, "How old are you? Why are you still so loud and boisterous?"
"Oh, an old man like me wouldn't understand."
"Look at the oranges I bought."
Grandma Song put the oranges on the table.
Grandpa Niu glanced at it, not understanding what it meant, and said, "It's fine, so what?"
"Oh dear, you really don't understand! Quickly take one out and try it. I feel it will taste just as good as the one Qiu Ying brought last time." Grandma Song grabbed an orange and put it in Grandpa Niu's hand.
Grandpa Niu said helplessly, "Why are you still thinking about this? Just buy some ordinary oranges and some other food."
Despite saying that, he still slowly broke open the orange in his hand, casually ate a couple of bites, and as he ate, the old man's eyes lit up.
"Old woman, you've really made something of yourself this time! These oranges are delicious."
Grandma Song smiled and said, "Now you know how delicious they are. When I first went in and saw these oranges, I knew they were special. After smelling and tasting them, I found they were indeed delicious."
"Look, I bought quite a lot. It'll be enough for us to eat for a while."
Grandpa Niu looked at the large bag of oranges on the table and was very satisfied. "These oranges are really delicious. They're just right for the two of us."
"Yes, yes, that's right. Later, I'll call Ahui and the others and tell them to buy oranges too. These oranges are delicious and they're a good source of vitamins."
Grandma Song peeled and ate an orange herself, saying something casually.
Grandpa Niu nodded, "You can arrange all of this. These oranges are a good deal. Everyone will be happy to eat them in the living room during the New Year."
Grandma Song immediately objected, "We can't put too much in, it costs 20 yuan a pound."
Their family is relatively well-off, but if the oranges weren't that delicious, everyone would have eaten them all if they were left on the table. He overheard the employees discussing that this batch of oranges was specially sourced, and that they would be gone once they were sold out.
"Well, it's nothing serious. It's fine to keep it for ourselves."
"Okay, that makes sense."
