Part 3: Shopping for Vegetables

Sir, how much are tomatoes?
25 NT for half a catty.
How come they’re so expensive?
Ma’am, these just arrived today. I guarantee they’re fresh.
Then give me half a catty.
O.K., half a catty. Would you like to buy some lettuce or celery? These are both imported from the U.S., and they’re better than those from Li Shan. They both look nice and they’re crisp.
Not today. I’ll just buy the tomatoes.
Fine.
25 NT.
O.K., thanks. Come again!
