What's more, the supermarket owner was holding a strange thing and announcing loudly that all purchases in the store today would enjoy a 20% discount, and there would be valuable gifts for purchases over ten taels of silver.

Among the onlookers were many managers and servants who had been arranged by their masters to come to the supermarket to buy things, as well as many ordinary people from ordinary families.

The stewards and servants of the wealthy families would definitely come into the store to shop, but the ordinary people and the masters and servants of the wealthy families who had not heard about it were curious about how good the things in this shop were that people would buy fruits, vegetables and meat worth ten taels of silver in one go.

As soon as the shopkeeper announced that people could enter the store, the crowd gathered at the door all rushed into the store. The originally spacious fruit and vegetable supermarket suddenly became extremely crowded and packed with people.

When curious people went in and took a look, they were really amazed.

Rows of shelves were filled with all kinds of fruits and vegetables that they had seen and had not seen before. The variety was so dazzling that it was simply dizzying.

"Is this the winter melon? Why is it so big? Oh, there are some cut into small pieces here. It says you can taste it, right? This shopkeeper is really generous!"

"Wow! This winter melon is so sweet! It has a thin skin, lots of juice and is sweet. It's a great fruit to cool off in the summer!"

"We have a sample too! Is this a melon? Hmm, it's fragrant and sweet, so delicious! One piece is not enough, can I have another piece?"

"Are these grapes from the Western Regions? Why are they dark red? The only grapes I've seen are green, small and sour."

"This is called dark purple, right? What you are eating are wild grapes. This kind of Western grapes are only available in the palace. I have seen my master bring back a small bunch from the palace for the young masters to eat. I didn't expect that such a precious thing could be seen in this shop."

"Aren't these cantaloupes and lychees that are only available in a few southern states? Oh, and papayas and bananas! What are these? Tomatoes and strawberries? I've never heard of them. Are they imported?"

"Is papaya a melon that grows on wood? Are winter melons and sweet melons tasty? They don't look very juicy. I'd better try something else!"

"Wow, ugh! What the hell is this? It smells like shit! It stinks! Why are you selling rotten fruit? Isn't that a rip-off?"

"What are you looking at? Isn't it fine? I think it smells good! Mm, so sweet and fragrant! Even better than melon! This is called durian? Why is it so expensive? Five taels of silver for one? Aren't you just robbing me?"

"And this little red cherry fruit is so expensive! It costs eight taels of silver! This, this, this... this is too expensive! Although it looks beautiful, such a small box costs eight taels of silver. My master will definitely not eat it."

"It's only eight taels. My master will definitely like this kind of novel fruit. I want to buy two boxes to take back! Can't you afford eight taels of fresh fruit in the residence of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"

"Who said that? I just think it's expensive. My master can definitely afford it! I want to buy it too. I want three boxes!"

"My master has already told me to buy all the fruits and vegetables in the Fairy Valley Supermarket and take them back. Oh, how much does it cost? I don't know if the money given by the housekeeper is enough."

"My master also said that he wanted to try all the fruits and vegetables in the supermarket, and also bring some back to try, especially the blue water fish. He has been thinking about it since he ate it twice. Finally, I can buy it!"

"Yes, yes, yes! My master also said that he wanted to eat blue water fish. Although I have never eaten it, I heard that it is very delicious, with tender meat and no small bones. The young masters will definitely like it! No matter how expensive it is, I will buy two of them and take them back!"

……

Qiao Ran stood by the counter, watching the stewards and servants of the wealthy families competing with each other and frantically filling the large baskets they brought with fruits, vegetables and meat as if they were free. She smiled with her eyes curved and sighed in her heart at the luxury of the nobles in the capital.

Even if she already possessed half the national treasury's wealth, she still couldn't bear to buy so many expensive foods at once!

It seems that Dai Viet was not very poor, but the wealth was in the hands of a very small number of people.

Ordinary people are exploited and oppressed. They work hard but live a life worse than the cats and dogs kept by rich people.
