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

Chapter 164 The Most Popular Instant Noodles!
"Oh my!" Cheng Yaojin was shocked; there were more things inside than he had imagined.

The main problem is that I don't know any of them; I've basically never seen them before.

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun also looked around curiously. The supermarket had been prepared for several days, but Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun had not come to see it.

I only came to join the fun today because it's opening day.

"These potato chips!" Li Shimin recognized them.

"Wow~ So many!" the little princess exclaimed, pointing to the shelves.

"Hmm, not bad." Li Shimin picked up a bag of potatoes; he had seen many of these before.

Xiao Ran gave it to Li Shimin before, and he tasted it; it was very unique.

I think it's pretty good.

Li Jing and Fang Xuanling also asked about the cat ears, "What are these cat ears?"

Li Jing looked at it and said, "I've never heard of this before, and it doesn't look like meat!"

Cheng Yaojin walked very fast. Although the others were also curious, what they wanted right now was instant noodles.

Cheng Yaojin was looking for the instant noodles, worried that someone else might buy them and he wouldn't have any left.

Soon Cheng Yaojin saw the instant noodle shelf.

Seeing the braised beef noodles I had before, I realized there are many other varieties besides braised beef noodles.

Cheng Yaojin was dazzled by the choices and didn't know which one to pick.

"Never mind, let's try some of everything." Cheng Yaojin also particularly liked the taste of instant noodles.

Seeing that Cheng Yaojin had taken several, the palace maid watching the shelves quickly reminded him, "General, you can only buy three of the same item."

"Three?" Cheng Yaojin looked at them. "Mine are different. Look at this braised beef, and this one is chicken stew with mushrooms, right?"

"General, the young master said that these are all considered instant noodles, and are the same product," the palace maid said helplessly.

"Fatty, don't make things difficult for the young lady. If you want to buy it, go find the young master and the princess." The burly Yuchi Jingde also came over. "So this is where you are!"

Without hesitation, Yuchi Jingde quickly grabbed three buckets of instant noodles.

"Alright, alright, three buckets it is. Let's pick some other things too." Cheng Yaojin had seen the store rules beforehand, which stated that each person could only buy ten items at a time.

There are many people queuing outside waiting to get in.

Qin Qiong found the baijiu (Chinese liquor), which Xiao Ran had given him before; it was very strong and had a high intoxicating effect.

These are things you can't buy anywhere else, so you can't miss them.

Qin Qiong was a wine lover, and without much thought, he took three bottles of Old Village Chief wine.

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun didn't need to buy it; they could just go to the warehouse to get it.

Many other things are unfamiliar to most people, and the only thing they know about instant noodles is that they don't recognize them.

Therefore, instant noodles were the most sought-after item, and Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, and others basically each took three packs of instant noodles.

Secondly, there's baijiu (Chinese liquor). Although many people haven't tried it, they always want to give it a try when they see something different.

There are many other things, but I don't know what they are.

I have no idea what potato chips actually taste like.

The first group to arrive were not from aristocratic families; these military officers and nobles were not short of money.

Choosing ten items is certainly not a problem.

Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi watched from the cashier as people began to come and pay.

A huge pile of Kaiyuan Tongbao coins; even Xiao Ran felt they were heavy just looking at them.

The quantity is large, and counting it is troublesome.

Princess Yuzhang had considered this issue beforehand, so she wisely arranged for several cashiers to handle the transactions.

But judging from this, it's still not enough.

There will definitely be a queue to pay later.

"This is so troublesome!" Xiao Ran muttered to himself. "If only we could use cell phones and banknotes here!" Li Lizhi said sincerely.

"Silver notes are fine too!"

"Silver notes?" Li Lizhi asked in return.

Xiao Ran then realized, "I forgot, the Tang Dynasty doesn't have that yet."

Something that only existed in the Song Dynasty, Xiao Ran said thoughtfully, "Changle, why don't we set up a money exchange?"

"A money exchange?" Li Lizhi didn't quite understand; such things didn't exist in this era.

"So many Kaiyuan Tongbao coins are too troublesome. If we exchange them for a silver note, it would be easier to carry and trade!" Xiao Ran explained to Li Lizhi.

Paper money and banknotes are also quite different.

After hearing what Xiao Ran said, Li Lizhi slowly realized, "That does sound pretty good, but I guess other people won't believe it or accept this kind of thing."

"That's easy. We'll link it to the supermarket's products. From now on, the supermarket will only accept silver notes; other currencies like Kaiyuan Tongbao and gold won't be accepted. If you want to buy anything from the supermarket, you'll first need to exchange your silver notes at the money exchange."

Upon hearing this, Li Lizhi felt that Xiao Ran's suggestion seemed plausible.

On the one hand, supermarket items are expensive, so this is indeed convenient. On the other hand, these items are exclusive and cannot be bought elsewhere, and they are in high demand.

"By the way, is it illegal to not accept Kaiyuan Tongbao coins for transactions in the Tang Dynasty?" Xiao Ran asked.

"It doesn't seem to be illegal," Li Lizhi wasn't sure either, since she didn't run a business and rarely bought things for herself.

"Grandpa should be interested in the silver notes. I mentioned paper money before, and he said it was very special and he wanted to find out more about it from the young master, but then he forgot about it."

Xiao Ran nodded, "It wouldn't be bad to open a money exchange in the Tang Dynasty."

Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, and several other second-generation rich kids were also in the supermarket, but they weren't buying anything; they were helping to move things and restock.

The instant noodle business needs to be constantly replenished.

Everyone's staring at the instant noodles.

Looking at these, Xiao Ran was also a little excited. Five hundred coins for a bucket, two buckets would be one string, which is one tael of silver.

One tael of gold here can only buy twenty packs of instant noodles, but back in modern times it could buy a whole truckload of instant noodles.

"Hey, Old Man Hei, there are lychees and watermelons over here." Cheng Yaojin waved to Yuchi Jingde.

Unfortunately, the watermelons were all cut up, so I could only buy a few pieces.

“These are all good stuff,” Yuchi Jingde said, glancing at them. “They’re chilled too. Have some to try.”

Seeing that the two wanted watermelon, the palace maid next to them quickly packed it into a plastic box for them.

"Why is this so transparent?" Cheng Yaojin stared intently at the plastic box.

"Do you know what material this is made of?" Yuchi Jingde asked the palace maid.

"Reporting to the general, I heard before that this is plastic."

"Plastic?" Cheng Yaojin or Yuchi Jingde realized they'd never heard of it before!
On the other side, Empress Zhangsun, accompanied by Li Shimin and her two little princesses, strolled over to the freezer.

"Grandpa~ Niye buye~" the little princess suddenly asked.

"What's wrong with Sizi?" Li Shimin asked.

The little princess pointed to the freezer, "There's some icy, creamy ice cream there!"

"Is this the freezer that Sixth Sister mentioned before?" Shi Na walked over and saw that Tang Jian, Hou Junji, and the others were also there.

Upon seeing Empress Zhangsun, Li Shimin, the group quickly stepped aside and bowed.

Li Shimin waved his hand, "No need for that, you can just buy your things."

"Your Majesty, what does this ice cream taste like?" Hou Junji asked.

Before Li Shimin could speak, the little princess quickly said, "It's icy cold and sweet!"

"That's great~"

The little princess's serious expression amused everyone else.
