The two of them traveled through the Tang Dynasty to open a supermarket, and the little Sizi was sup

Chapter 122 Supermarket location selection!

Li Lizhi, a woman of noble birth, was not someone who remained in the palace, completely unaware of the outside world.

It was clear from her voice that she knew a lot about Chang'an.

It wasn't just that she frequently visited the East-West Market; other people must have told her about this as well.

The little princess fell asleep in Xiao Ran's arms, hugging the electric fan. Xiao Ran smiled.

Kids have such good sleep quality.

When they arrived at a shop, Yu Shu's carriage slowly came to a stop.

Princess Yuzhang looked at the little princess, "Young master, let me hold Sizi!"

"It's okay, I can hold her," Xiao Ran quickly said, as the little princess wasn't heavy.

Princess Chengyang, standing beside her, was also drowsy, but she kept trying to stay awake.

"Second sister, do you want to sleep?" Li Lizhi asked the little princess of Chengyang.

The little princess of Chengyang perked up a bit, "No."

"Let's get off the bus!" Li Lizhi picked up the little princess of Chengyang.

Yu Shu had prepared a step stool in advance, waiting for Li Lizhi and the others to get off the car.

The shop that Li Lizhi chose was located at the southwest corner of the East Market Cross Street, adjacent to the residences of high-ranking officials in Pingkangfang and Chongrenfang, which is a newly emerging high-end commercial area in Chang'an.

This is a good place, at least that's what Xiao Ran thinks.

The shop was originally a two-story building with a double-eaved hip roof, a remnant of the Sui Dynasty. The gray-blue barrel tiles and vermilion brackets complement each other in the sunlight. Above the door hangs a large plaque with the two characters "酒肆" (wine shop), the strokes of which are strong yet elegant.

"Young master, what do you think of this place?" Li Lizhi also learned about Xiao Ran's identity; he was a shop owner.

However, more than a thousand years later, Xiao Ran should be called a supermarket owner.

"The location is great, but I don't know what it's like inside." Xiao Ran had never seen it either.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Li Lizhi gestured to Yu Shu to take out the key and open the door.

Princess Chengyang was fast asleep in Li Lizhi's arms.

Yu Shu, who opened the door, was very perceptive and quickly took the little princess of Chengyang from Li Lizhi's arms.

The group entered the shop.

The ground floor features a straight door design, with all twelve walnut wood lattice doors removable to create an open-plan sales space.

It used to be a tavern, but now it's basically all emptied out, leaving only a counter.

"Young master, how do you feel?"

"Not bad. What's the difference between the other two and this one?" Xiao Ran asked.

"The only difference is the location; the size is about the same."

"Then let's choose this place!" Xiao Ran looked down at the little princess in his arms, not wanting to go on the bumpy ride anymore, and wanted to go back as soon as possible so that the little princess could rest.

"it is good!"

Li Lizhi understood Xiao Ran's thoughts; Xiao Ran had always cared a lot about the little princess.

"You all know the layout of supermarkets, Chang Le; it's just shelves and checkout counters."

"The shelf is fine as long as it can hold things. Datang should be able to make this without any problems."

Li Lizhi nodded, "That's no problem. Sixth Sister drew up the design after she came back and has already started arranging for people to prepare. It will be ready soon."

Xiao Ran was a little surprised; Princess Yuzhang had been looking at these things when she strolled around earlier.

"At the cashier, Datang doesn't have mobile payment; just follow Datang's procedures."

Li Lizhi quickly asked, "Young master, can we use the freezer and refrigerator?"

“These things are not expensive, and it’s not difficult to move them over. The problem is the electricity. If you want to use these, you have to prepare solar panels and put them on the roof to generate electricity by the sun.”

"We also need to prepare a spare engine."

Xiao Ran had also thought of these things.

"These things will have to be troubled by you, young master."

"It's no trouble at all, it's what I should do." After all, this is Xiao Ran's business.

The group went up to the second floor, but there was nothing there either. It was empty, just a few pillars.

The supermarket layout is very simple, just shelves and such.

Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang also shared their ideas, which was to copy the template of Xiao Ran Supermarket.

Others can go in and make their selections, while a few people outside handle the cashiering.

"Young master, what's the name of the supermarket? What do you think would be suitable?" Li Lizhi said with a smile, "Once it's decided, we can arrange for people to prepare it."

"Let's ask His Majesty and His Highness about this!"

"Grandpa and Grandma said that we can discuss these things ourselves, without needing to ask them."

Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, "How about we just call it 'Great Tang Chang'an Supermarket'?"

"If we can expand and strengthen our business in the future, and open stores in other places, we can call them 'Datang Luoyang Supermarket' or something similar, which will make them easier to distinguish."

"That's good." Li Lizhi thought Xiao Ran was going to call it 'Jinyang Little Princess Supermarket'!

"Then it's decided. Add a small note below: 'Jinyang Little Princess Branch'"

Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang also smiled.

"Young master, you should spoil Sizi!" Princess Yuzhang said with a smile.

"If we open more branches in the future, we'll name them after Second Sister and you all." Xiao Ran wanted to open a chain of supermarkets in Datang.

"Okay!" Li Lizhi had no objections.

A few people are getting ready to come back; it's too hot.

The little princess was hugging the electric fan, but she was still sweating from the heat.

"Let's go back!" Xiao Ran said proactively.

Xiao Ran really wanted to stroll around Chang'an, at least he wanted to walk the entire Zhuque Avenue, but seeing the little princess like this, he temporarily gave up the idea.

There will be plenty of opportunities in the future; it's just too hot right now.

Li Lizhi and the others didn't need to prepare much, but Xiao Ran needed to prepare a lot.

The supply of goods is easy to arrange, but the solar panels are the more troublesome part.

These things aren't hard to buy, but installing them is a bit of a headache; Xiao Ran had never used these things before.

You have to learn it first.

The group boarded the carriage, and Yu Shu began her journey back.

"Young master, what about the price? How should the price of these things be set in the Tang Dynasty?" Princess Yuzhang asked Xiao Ran.

"I'll provide the purchase price over there as a reference. As for the specific selling price, Chang Le, you can decide!" Xiao Ran said, "I don't understand the prices in the Tang Dynasty, so I don't know how much to set."

“Others should like these things too. There are too many people in Chang’an, and we can only bring a limited amount over, so the price can’t be low,” Xiao Ran added.

Li Lizhi nodded in agreement, "These are all high-priced items. My grandparents also said that supermarket items are mainly sold to rich people."

Just sell it as a luxury item. This kind of thing is monopolized, so it's okay if the price is high.

Chang'an City has no shortage of wealthy people.

They all agreed on the point of selling at a high price.

Ordinary people can't afford supermarket items.

Unless it can be mass-produced in the Tang Dynasty in the future, it is probably not realistic in the short term.

Without factory assembly lines and mass production by machines, it's still a long way off.

The group of people in the carriage kept talking about the supermarket, keeping their voices down because the two little princesses were asleep.

The carriage stopped in front of the Lizheng Hall, and the people got off one after another.

Empress Zhangsun and Li Shimin also came out.

"Grandpa, Mother"

"Your Majesty."

"Second Madam Sizi is still asleep." Empress Zhangsun knew this would happen.
