Chapter 602 Buying Fruit

"Boss, please give us three pounds." Wang Xinxin said.

"Okay!" the boss responded readily, picked up a plastic bag and started packing grapes.

I saw him picking up bunches of grapes from the stall and putting them into the bag with swift movements.

Wang Xinxin noticed that when the boss was packing grapes, he would always reach under the stall, take out bunches of grapes and put them into the bag.

She was a little confused, but didn't think much about it and just thought that the boss had hidden the good grapes underneath.

Soon, the boss packed three pounds of grapes and handed them to Wang Xinxin.

"Little girl, the total is fifty-seven dollars." The boss said with a smile.

Wang Xinxin took out sixty yuan from her wallet and handed it to the boss. The boss took the money and gave her three yuan in change.

Wang Xinxin took the money, picked up the grapes, and left the fruit stall with Li Na and Leng Tong.

"Xinxin, let's go over there and see what other fruits there are." Li Na said, pointing to a fruit stall not far away.

"Okay." Wang Xinxin nodded in agreement, and the three of them walked towards the fruit stall together.

Just as they turned to leave, the fruit stall owner's mouth curled up into an imperceptible sly smile.

He looked down at the bottom of the stall, where there were still some grapes. However, those grapes were obviously much smaller than the ones he had just sold to Wang Xinxin, and their color was dull.

He bought these grapes from other fruit vendors at low prices, so their quality was naturally not as good as those grapes that looked good.

He deliberately hid the grapes under the stall, and then secretly mixed them into bags and sold them together when customers were not paying attention, in order to make higher profits.

He meets countless customers like Wang Xinxin every day and has become familiar with the process.

"Hey, business is good today." The boss thought happily and began to organize the fruits on the stall.

Wang Xinxin, Li Na and Leng Tong carried two large bags full of fruit and returned to the pork stall where Lin Ke and Lu Wenbin were, chatting and laughing.

"Wow, you bought so many fruits!" Lu Wenbin said in surprise as he looked at the two bulging bags of fruits.

"Yes, the fruits here look very fresh, so we bought some more." Li Na smiled and raised the bag in her hand.

"Brother Ke, Brother Wenbin, what fruit do you want to eat? We'll wash some for you to try." Leng Tong asked enthusiastically.

"I'm fine with either. You guys can do whatever you want." Lin Ke said with a smile, but his eyes fell on the bag of grapes in Wang Xinxin's hand.

He remembered that Wang Xinxin seemed to have bought rose-scented grapes. He had eaten this kind of grapes before and they tasted really good.

"Xinxin, the grapes you bought look good. Let me try some." Lin Ke walked up to Wang Xinxin and said with a smile.

"Okay." Wang Xinxin said, and opened the bag, preparing to take out a bunch of grapes and hand it to Lin Ke.

However, when she reached into the bag, she was stunned.

She touched some grapes, but they felt different from the ones she had picked before.

These grapes feel a little soft and are smaller in size, not as plump as the previous ones.

Wang Xinxin was confused and took out a bunch of grapes from the bag.

She was stunned when she saw the bunch of grapes in her hand. The grapes were dull in color, of different sizes, and some of them had even started to wilt.

These were not the rose-scented grapes that she had carefully selected before; they were clearly some inferior grapes!
"This..." Wang Xinxin was stunned and didn't know what to say.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ke asked when he saw that Wang Xinxin looked unhappy.

"These grapes..." Wang Xinxin pointed at the grapes in her hand, her tone full of disbelief, "They don't seem to be the ones we bought before."

"What?" Lin Ke was stunned for a moment when he heard that, then he took the grapes from Wang Xinxin's hand and looked at them carefully.

Sure enough, the quality of these grapes was far different from the rose-scented grapes they had seen before.

"How could this happen?" Lin Ke frowned slightly, feeling somewhat confused.

"Xinxin, are you sure these are not the grapes you bought before?" Li Na also came over to take a look and asked.

"I'm sure!" Wang Xinxin said with certainty, "I remember very clearly that the grapes I bought were all big and plump, and the colors were very bright. It's not like this at all."

"Where did these grapes come from?" Leng Tong also felt incredible.

"Could it be..." Wang Xinxin suddenly thought of something, and her face suddenly turned ugly, "Could it be that the boss secretly replaced the grapes when we weren't paying attention?"

"What? Changed?" Upon hearing this, Lu Wenbin exclaimed, "This is too much!"

"I told you, that boss doesn't look like a good person." Li Na also said indignantly.

"This is too much. They actually deceived us!" Leng Tong said angrily.

"Don't worry, let's take a look first." Lin Ke said calmly, his eyes sweeping over the grapes in the bag.

He found that some of the grapes in the bag were the high-quality grapes they had selected before, but some were these low-quality grapes.

Moreover, the quantity of these low-quality grapes was quite large, accounting for almost half of the bag.

"It seems that the boss did secretly replace the grapes when we were not paying attention." Lin Ke said affirmatively.

"This profiteer!" Wang Xinxin stamped her feet in anger. "Let's go and argue with him!"

"Yes, go and argue with him!" Li Na and Leng Tong also said indignantly.

"Let's go find him!" Leng Tong was immediately furious when she heard this. She hated this kind of deceptive behavior the most.

She pulled Wang Xinxin up, and Li Na followed closely behind her. The three of them walked towards the fruit stall in a menacing manner.

Lin Ke and Lu Wenbin looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

"Boss, come out!" Leng Tong walked to the fruit stall and shouted loudly.

The owner of the fruit stand was a middle-aged man who was sitting behind the stand drinking tea leisurely. When he heard Leng Tong's shout, he slowly raised his head and asked impatiently, "Why are you shouting? Pick the fruit you want to buy yourself."

"Who wants to buy your fruit!" Leng Tong said angrily, "The grapes you sold us before were not the ones we picked. How dare you cheat consumers by replacing one with another!"

The boss's face suddenly changed when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure. He glanced at Leng Tong and said disapprovingly, "Little girl, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I have always been honest in my business. When did I cheat?"

"You still want to deny it!" Wang Xinxin pointed at the grapes in the bag and said angrily, "These grapes are the evidence. The grapes we picked before were all big and plump, and the colors were very bright. This is not the case at all!"
