Chapter 319
Comelia was all set with her condiments and was about to but the fresh food section when the noticed Marcus‘ shopping cart was as empty as a ghost town President Hartley don’t you need to buy anything?” Marcus, who was more interested in chit–chatting with Comelia than shopping said, “I don’t really need anything in particular in generally here to learn from you so that I can make supermarket trips easier for my wole Can you teach me how to use these ingredients
“Sure thing” Cornelia was more than happy to help Mamus “Let’s hit the fresh food section first, then we can grab some inore goodies”
“Sounds good” Marcus pushed his shopping cart and followed Comelia closely
In the hesh food section, Cornelia picked up a nice looking piece of beef and said to Marcus, “We can use this beef to make a delicious steak when we get twic
Marcus was all praises “You’re a jack of all trades very impressive!”
Cornelia chuckled “We common folks have to learn these skills. Not veryone has the luxury of being catered for from childhood like you”
Marcus replied. “Being served from a young age isn’t always a good thing”
Comelia could relate Everyone had their own set of worries Some worried about making ends meet, others worned about mateñal things, and people like Marcus, probably worried about making more dough
When the staff handed the beef to Comelia she was shocked by the price. “Are you sure this is the price? Could there be a mistake?”
Even though the wasnt footing the bill, Comelia felt her heart ache
The staff checked the label and politely explained, “Ma’am, our prices are the usual prices”
She returned the beef to the freezer and told Marcus. “Everything in this supermarket is so pricey. Are there any other supermarkets around?”
Marcus replied, “The folks around here are pretty loaded. They care more about quality than price Bargain supermarkets can’t survive in this area”
Cornelia said “You rich people really don’t care about money”
Marcus chuckled, “Today’s on me Pick whatever you like, no need to cut corners for me”
She quietly put the beef back into the cart Without it, they wouldn’t be able to fry a steak
