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

Chapter 165 Supermarket Clearance Sale!
"Then let me take a look, Grandpa!" Li Shimin looked at the freezer but didn't know how to open it.

The palace maid who was in charge of watching the freezer quickly opened it, and a blast of cold air rushed out.

The little princess saw the freezer in Xiao Ran's supermarket and now wants to see it too.

Unfortunately, it's too small; it's not even as tall as a freezer.

This really worried the little girl.

Li Shimin quickly picked up the little princess, "Come, let Sizi see you too."

The little princess was delighted to see all the different kinds of ice cream in the freezer. "Wow~ so many!"

"Choose one, Sizi." Li Shimin held the little princess a few steps closer.

The little princess picked up the Chocola, exclaiming, "Hehe, this is so good!"

"Second Madam, you choose one too." Li Shimin put down the little princess and picked up the little princess of Chengyang.

After the two little princesses had made their choices, the others gathered around.

I hadn't noticed this before, but now that I see Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun, and several princesses here, I definitely have to take a look.

"Oh my, eating this in the middle of summer is pure bliss!" Hou Junji tore it open and took a bite.

Xiao Ran, who was on the other side, also saw this scene and quickly took out his phone to take a picture.

A picture of Li Shimin eating ice cream.

The little princess didn't eat by herself; she looked around and asked Xiao Ran for directions.

Seeing Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi standing together talking near the door.

The little princess ran over excitedly and squeezed between Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi, forcibly separating the two.

"Little Nang-kun~ Ni Ye Qi Ya~"

"Okay." Xiao Ran squatted down and ate a little.

The little princess has not forgotten her elder sister, Li Lizhi.

Xiangcao brought over a sheet of Xuan paper. "Your Highness, young master, this is the gift list."

"Gift? What kind of gift?" Xiao Ran didn't know.

“These are gifts from other uncles who gave us when the supermarket opened.” Li Lizhi took a look at them and then handed them to Xiao Ran.

The rice paper was covered with familiar names, and the gifts given were all sorts of different things.

There are many jade artifacts, antiques, and calligraphy and paintings.

Most of the famous figures from the Zhenguan era, such as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, and Qin Qiong, were present.

They gave quite a lot of gifts.

These people were all after Li Shimin's royal status, and Xiao Ran had no interest in those things.

Part of the supermarket belongs to the company, but it has nothing to do with these gifts.

After reading it, Xiao Ran handed it to Li Lizhi, saying, "Chang Le!"

"Young master, how should we return the gift?" Li Lizhi asked as well.

"Other gifts are difficult to reciprocate and troublesome. My suggestion is to just bring something from the supermarket as a return gift." After all, instant noodles in supermarkets are a luxury these days.

Since it's a luxury item, it can be given as a gift.

"Okay! Little Gift Gentleman, take a look, you can choose half."

"Huh? Me? This has nothing to do with me." Xiao Ran waved his hand. "I don't need it."

“Young master, you are mistaken. The return gifts are all from the supermarket, how can they have nothing to do with you?” Li Lizhi said, “This is also what your parents wanted, young master, you must accept them.”

“If it’s inconvenient for you, young master, I can keep it for you temporarily,” Li Lizhi said.

Since Li Lizhi said that, Xiao Ran did not refuse again.

Refusing again would make me seem pretentious.

Even after buying a lot of things, many people don't rush to leave but instead stroll around the supermarket.

There are so many things I've never seen before.

The instant noodle section is always the most popular, followed by the fruit section.

Chilled watermelon and lychees are also very popular.

Secondly, there's ice cream, a rare item.

Many military officers had their eyes on the liquor that Xiao Ran had prepared.

I think this is a pretty good product. As for the others, we're still in the trial stage.

Next to the cashier was a box containing Kaiyuan Tongbao coins. In addition to the cashier, Li Lizhi, another person was arranged to help count the money.

Even watching Xiao Ran count money made him tired; his hands were cramping from counting so much money.

People who bought the items went out and spread the word, causing the lines in front of the supermarket to grow longer and longer.

More wealthy families and businessmen wanted to come and see these things.

Basically, everyone buys at least ten items; Chang'an City certainly has no shortage of wealthy people.

The palace maids arranged earlier were not enough; they simply couldn't keep up with the workload.

We've been constantly replenishing our stock and arranging shelves.

Even without instant noodles, everyone else was scrambling to grab all sorts of pastries and snacks.

Xiao Ran hadn't expected things to be this crazy.

I didn't see anyone waiting in line to come in, and there was a queue at the cashier to pay. I even suspected that this was a free purchase.

It was truly a "flash sale".

"Not bad, not bad!" Li Shimin stood to the side, looking at the crowd and the money in the box with great satisfaction.

Yu Shu ran over and said, "Your Highness, young master, at this rate, there won't be much left in the warehouse by the afternoon. We definitely won't have enough to sell today."

Li Shimin and the others looked at Xiao Ran, knowing that they would have to rely on him to replenish their supplies.

"We can sell them all today, right?" Xiao Ran said.

"Alright, that's enough for today." Li Shimin nodded.

We were completely sold out on the first day of business, which was really unexpected.

Li Lizhi instructed Xiangcao to prepare the return gifts.

Xiao Ran noticed that many of the people in the queue were palace maids, who were probably buying things for the imperial concubines or princes.

Although Empress Zhangsun had received some before, the amount was limited, mainly because there were too many people in the palace.

One person can't get much, and those who can buy it now and definitely want to buy it are not people who are short of money.

Those who have come into contact with these things know better how special they are.

At first, I thought I could hold out until the afternoon, but then I found that the shelves were emptied by noon.

Those who came in later had no choice but to take whatever they saw.

Let's take ten first.

With Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun present, no one dared to cause trouble.

The shelves were emptied, the door was closed, and the accounting began.

Several boxes contained piles of Kaiyuan Tongbao coins.

Xiao Ran felt that this thing was even faster than robbery.

"Wow~ so much money~" The little princess pounced on the pile of money.

“Sizi knows too.” Xiao Ran smiled.

The little princess opened her bag and started stuffing things inside.

"Sizi, what are you doing?" Li Lizhi quickly stopped her.

"Little money's tied to my nest~"

“It’s all my fault~” the little princess said confidently.

"Sizi, this is heavy and doesn't taste good, don't want it." Xiao Ran walked over and pulled the little princess over.

"Mmm-hmm~" The little princess was quite willing to listen to what Xiao Ran said.

“Grandpa, the young master said it was too troublesome. The supermarket isn’t spacious to begin with, and the checkout counters take up too much space. It would be much more convenient if we could use banknotes for transactions.”

Li Lizhi recounted what Xiao Ran had said about the silver notes.

"I've thought about this before. Many people probably wouldn't accept this kind of thing at first, but if it's related to supermarkets, they'll have no choice but to accept it," Li Shimin said thoughtfully.

In this era, Kaiyuan Tongbao coins and gold and silver coins had intrinsic value, but banknotes and paper money were merely symbols of value and had no intrinsic worth.

People today would be unwilling to accept this.
