Chapter 1161
Felicity’s eyelid twitched.
‘What nonsense did Grandma say to them?’
However, Vermont acted fast and responded, “Nice to meet you, everyone.”
“Hello, hello. This young man from the city is so polite.”
“He’s so handsome and tall. You’ve got to be at least six feet, right?”
Vermont smiled and corrected, “I’m six feet one inch tall.”
“Wow, you’re really tall. What’s your name?”
“Just call me Vermont.”
With his sweet words and how well he could communicate with older women, he immediately befriended all the ladies there.
Felicity was left speechless at the side as she thought to herself. ‘He’s truly a social butterfly. He can literally make friends everywhere he goes.’
After drinking too much water, she had to go to the washroom, leaving Vermont behind to help load the trucks.
The ladies saw his good-looking appearance and pulled him over to help sort the fruits. After all, it was a much easier task compared to the heavy lifting.
Vermont learned how to sort them while chatting with the ladies, “Ladies, don’t you have a sorting machine? Or do you rely solely on manual labor?”
“We do, but it can only sort them by size. The machines can’t detect the bruises on the apples. That’s why we must sort them out manually before loading them into the crates.”
“What will happen to the apples with bruises then?”
“Also, as producers ourselves, the premium-grade fruits we packed can be sold for about eight dollars per pound. With the help of livestock farms and processing factories to handle the subpar fruits, our income has more than doubled. You came during the holiday season; most people are on leave now. If you came at another time, you’d see many online celebrities coming here to sell our produce.”
The more Vermont listened to her, the more surreal it all sounded. In the end, he was in total disbelief. However, he was unaware that the chubby lady knew only a small part of the story. In fact, the industry chain extended beyond just the village.
The chubby lady continued, “The fruit wine that Felicity’s mother invented is very popular in the market, and it’s exclusively sold at their own supermarket.”
Vermont was stunned once again. “They owned a supermarket too?”
“Yeah. Have you heard of Deron Supermart? They have many branches in different cities.”
Vermont did not know what to say anymore. There was one near Clouditude International.
It was one of the top ten supermarket chains in the country, mainly operating in major cities. It was famous for its fruit wine, exclusively sold at its branches.
