359: Filming

“What’s going on?”

The elderly woman was dumbfounded.

Not only was the elderly woman dumbfounded, but everyone else with her was too.

This is Shen City!

Shen City!

A price of eighty cents for baby cabbage was practically free!

The elderly woman pulled out her phone and immediately called her daughter.

“Qing’er, come take a look, baby cabbage at Feihuang Supermarket is only eighty cents.”

“Besides baby cabbage, other vegetables are also very cheap, even green onions are only two yuan and five fen per jin!” the elderly woman said anxiously.

The twenty-something woman, who was sleeping, was woken up and thought something big had happened, but when she heard her mother say that the vegetables in the supermarket were super cheap, she was a bit annoyed.

“Mom! It might be a promotion at Feihuang Supermarket, it’s normal for things to be a bit cheaper.”

“Just take advantage of the good deal, why call me so early and wake me up?” the woman said impatiently.

The elderly woman glanced at the price of durian next to her and said, “Sorry, daughter, for disturbing your rest.”

“Feihuang Supermarket has durian, the price is fourteen yuan and eight fen per jin, the durian is very big, I can’t carry it back by myself.”

“What?!” The woman instantly sobered up, “Fourteen yuan and eight fen per jin? Are you sure?”

She had been to Feihuang Supermarket yesterday, and she could return fruit directly if she wasn’t satisfied.

The quality of fruit at Feihuang Supermarket was very high, fourteen yuan and eight fen per jin!

The price she usually bought was over thirty-nine yuan per jin!

This was directly slashed in half!

“Mom, wait, I’m coming right away!” The woman immediately got up and headed straight for Feihuang Supermarket.

Half an hour later, the un-made-up woman appeared at the supermarket.

Upon entering, she saw that the durians hadn’t sold out and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At such a low price, it was very likely that others would snatch them all up.

“Qing’er, come take a look, there are also apples you like here, only three yuan per jin,” the elderly woman said, holding her daughter’s hand.

The woman looked around the fruit section; the quality was very high, at least twice as cheap as other supermarkets, and even much cheaper than the fruit at the wet market.

She didn’t quite understand why the fruit at Feihuang Supermarket was so cheap.

Most importantly, the quality of the fruit here was even higher than that of those fruit stores.

Just then, Feihuang Supermarket staff brought in many televisions and installed them in the pre-reserved spots.

When the televisions were turned on, they played pre-recorded videos.

People didn’t find it strange; televisions in supermarkets usually played advertisements.

Things like how fresh and juicy the fruit was, or how fresh the vegetables were.

Just some very unoriginal, sickeningly familiar advertisements.

What surprised people, however, was that the televisions weren’t playing advertisements, but rather a field and many farmers.

One of the videos showed: “Hello everyone, I am Li Yan, an employee of Feihuang Restaurant, my employee ID is 42488.”

“It is currently 12:00 PM on August 13th.”

To prove that the time she stated was accurate, Li Yan took out the front page of a newspaper she had already prepared from her arms.

The newspaper could confirm that it was shot at least after August 13th; if it were August 12th, there would definitely not be a newspaper for the 13th.

Li Yan continued: “I am currently in Suzhou, this is a farmland in Suzhou.”

After speaking, Li Yan did not continue to introduce, but pulled the camera back.

A large expanse of vegetable fields could be seen, lush green, fresh, organic, and pollution-free.

Li Yan said: “Now I will continue to film until these vegetables reach their destination.”

“From harvesting to shelving, we will film the entire process for you.”

With that, Li Yan pulled the video back, and countless farmers began picking vegetables.

After picking, they were orderly loaded onto the trucks.

After doing all this, Li Yan placed the camera on a fixed position, keeping the lens pointed at the large truck in front.

“Alright, the vegetables are now on the large truck in front, and I will follow this truck throughout the entire journey, continuing to film for you.”

The video continued to play at fifty times speed, and soon the large truck started, heading onto the highway towards Shen City.

It wasn’t until midnight that the large truck finally arrived in Shen City.

Li Yan got out of the car with the camera, the camera lens still pointed at the large truck.

The large truck’s door opened, revealing countless fresh vegetables inside.

A group of people were already assembled and ready to go.

Li Yan recorded from the side, the camera never leaving the large truck from beginning to end.

From her video, it could be seen that besides her large truck, there were other large trucks nearby, of the same model, with Feihuang staff standing by them.

They were busy in an orderly fashion, moving boxes of fruit and boxes of vegetables.

A staff member wearing a Feihuang Supermarket uniform walked into the frame: “I am Peng Kaiyue, a transport worker for Feihuang Supermarket, my employee ID is 42976, and I am here to receive the baby cabbage!”

The video seamlessly transitioned; from this point on, it was no longer Li Yan recording, but Peng Kaiyue.

From beginning to end, the video never stopped.

Peng Kaiyue and other staff members used several large carts to transport the large quantity of vegetables and fruits from here all the way to Feihuang Supermarket.

The video continued until they arrived at Feihuang Supermarket, entered the supermarket, and placed the vegetables and fruits on the shelves; at this point, the video ended.

Everyone was surprised.

These were actually full recordings of these vegetables and fruits.

From the moment the vegetables and fruits were harvested until they were put on the shelves, they never left the video.

Every single piece of fruit could be traced.

In fact, if one were to copy the video, it might even be possible to find which fruit was picked from which tree.

The elderly woman said, “These vegetables actually came from Suzhou. Suzhou to our Shen City, that’s over a thousand kilometers, right?”

“Yesterday’s vegetables arrived this morning, no wonder they’re so fresh!”

The elderly woman also understood why the vegetables here were so cheap.

Because they were picked directly from the fields!

How could farmers sell vegetables from the fields for several yuan per jin at wholesale prices?

Forty cents per jin was very normal.

Feihuang’s purchase price was perfectly fine.

So it was also perfectly fine for them to sell it for eighty cents.

Of course, although the purchase price was forty cents, the cost was definitely more than forty cents, including transportation and labor costs.

The elderly woman didn’t care about any of that; she only knew that Feihuang Supermarket was making a profit!

Feihuang Supermarket was making a profit, and she was making an even bigger one!

In all of Shen City, besides Feihuang Supermarket, where else could one buy such good vegetables?

This was simply bringing the best vegetables from all over the country and selling them to them at the lowest prices.

The elderly woman was concerned about vegetables, while her daughter was concerned about fruit.

Seeing that the fruit was still on the trees just over a dozen hours ago, she finally understood why these fruits looked so fresh.

They looked almost as if they had been soaked in medicine.

Originally, she was a bit suspicious, afraid of buying fruit soaked in medicine or inferior fruit, but now after watching the video, she was completely relieved!

The price was also very reasonable… no, not just reasonable, it was practically absurd.

“I don’t quite understand, it’s just a supermarket, does it need to go to such great lengths, directly picking from the origin?”

The woman was a bit puzzled.

However, she recalled discussing Feihuang with her best friends yesterday.

Suddenly, she realized, muttering to herself, “Oh right, Mi Bing Milk Tea and Feihuang Restaurant are both part of Feihuang Group; they’re the same company.”
