On the morning of New Year's Day, the eight from Jiangnan went to the New Hongqi Shopping Mall together.

Far away, Jiangnan and the others saw five large characters standing on one side of the top of the mall: Hongqi Trade City.

Above the main entrance of the mall are another five characters: New Hongqi Supermarket.

On both sides of the five characters "New Hongqi Supermarket" are five red flag-shaped logos, which is very visually impactful.

The old Hongqi Shopping Mall is finally bursting with new business opportunities. This is a feeling shared by the eight Jiangnan stores.

Everyone stared blankly for a long time.

Jin Beibei was the first to speak: "Damn, Uncle Jiang is so talented. This mall is so grand."

Hua Lianyue's heart was bleeding, and she said depressedly: "Beibei, don't mention it anymore, ugh!"

Jin Beibei thought Hua Lianyue was feeling sorry for Jiang Dongping, so she said no more.

The red flags fluttering at the entrance of the shopping mall, the arched inflatable door and the banners hanging all over the wall all show the characteristics of this era.

Almost all the shops facing the street are open for business, and there are various flower baskets or firecracker fragments at the door of each shop.

Only 9 of the 10 shops bought by Xu Changying were empty and seemed out of place with the surrounding environment.

The entrance of the supermarket is full of greeting ladies, wearing colorful ribbons and smiling faces to welcome the guests.

Jiangnan Eight followed the flow of people into supermarkets. Although it was the 1990s, supermarkets of this size were rare in ordinary counties even more than ten years later.

Everyone was shocked by the dazzling array of products coming out of the shop.

Hua Lianyue said depressedly: "Jiangnan, in comparison, I think our Jiangnan Huayue store is just a rural canteen."

Jiang Nan didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Sister Yue, don't be anxious, take your time and take your time. Big supermarkets have the same problems as big supermarkets, but small supermarkets have the advantages of small supermarkets."

In fact, Jiang Nan knows that in twenty years, large supermarkets will gradually decline and be gradually replaced by online shopping. What cannot be replaced is the 24-hour convenience stores that can be seen everywhere.

In the Internet age, it is not your peers who kill you, but often cross-border industries.

However, in this era, offline is still the mainstream, and supermarkets are definitely popular online.

Since there were too many people in the supermarket, most of them came to join in the fun when it was open, so there were almost people sitting next to each other in the supermarket.

There were so many people that Jiangnan Baguo lost interest in shopping and had to move forward slowly with the flow of people.

It won't work if you don't move. People behind you will push you forward.

Arriving on the second floor, Jiang Nan found that this place was like most supermarkets, mostly selling daily necessities, so there were not that many people.

Only then did everyone feel relieved.

Jin Beibei said: "There are a lot of daily necessities here, much more than in the supply and marketing mall."

Li Muyan has seen supermarkets in Shenzhen for a long time. She said: "The turnover of these daily necessities is very slow, and the profits created are far less fast than the goods on the first floor."

Only then did Hua Lianyue understand the shortcomings of large supermarkets. Although the turnover of these daily necessities is slow, as a large supermarket, you have to prepare them.

Hua Lianyue said: "Calculated in this way, the comprehensive profit margin of such a large supermarket is not as high as that of our small supermarkets, and more people see these products, so the losses are still very serious."

Although everyone didn't plan to buy anything before they came, now that they had wandered to the second floor, the girls couldn't help but buy something.

Jin Beibei bought herself a nice cartoon mug, Hua Lianyue bought a large pack of facial tissues, and the other girls also bought what they needed, except Jiang Nan and Du Canglan who didn't buy anything.

When they arrived at the checkout counter, several girls were dumbfounded. There were too many people there.

But since we have already bought something, we naturally have to pay the bill. By the time everyone came out of the supermarket, they were almost out of breath.

However, when he was just checking out, Jiang Nan also discovered a problem, that is, the new Hongqi Supermarket introduced electronic cash registers, but there were still too few cash registers, only four. It is estimated that even Han Chaosheng did not expect to be as popular as it is today.

.

Hua Lianyue suddenly said: "By the way, Jiangnan, when we were in Changbei, didn't Liu Yuebai say that she was going to open a bakery in the New Hongqi Shopping Mall? Shall we go and have a look?"

Wei Shanshan asked in surprise: "Who is Liu Yuebai?"

Jin Beibei explained: "Liu Yuebai is our classmate in Dadong Town and a friend of Jiangnan."

Then, Jiang Nan introduced to Wei Shanshan and the others how Liu Yuebai dropped out of school to learn baking, and how he met Liu Yuebai by chance in Changbei.

Du Canglan exclaimed: "Jiangnan, what a coincidence."

Lin Lan also said: "To use Priscilla Chan's song, this is "Where are we not meeting in life"."

Everyone didn't do any ink, and searched from shop to shop along the indoor commercial street.

Sure enough, I saw a small white bakery not far from the supermarket.

From a distance, the store decoration is extremely simple, and even the signboard is very crude.

Wu Anting was holding a tray and introducing something to a mother and daughter at the door of the store.

Everyone in Jiangnan stepped forward together.

Jiang Nan greeted: "Wu Anting, are you really back to open a store?"

Wu Anting looked back and saw that it was Jiangnan. He smiled and said, "Jiangnan, are you guys here to go shopping? Liu Yuebai is busy inside. I'll call her."

After saying that, Wu Anting left his mother and daughter who were looking at the cakes and walked into the store.

Jiangnan was speechless for a while, how could he do such business?

The middle-aged woman listened attentively, but when she saw the waitress suddenly put down her tray and left, she raised her head in surprise.

When Jiang Nan saw the woman, he was also shocked and hurriedly said hello: "Hello, Aunt Gu!"

Hua Lianyue also recognized Gu Xueqing and quickly greeted her and the girl next to her.

It was obvious that Hua Lianyue was very familiar with the girl next to Gu Xueqing.

Gu Xueqing saw Jiang Nan and a large group of classmates behind Jiang Nan, and said with a smile: "Jiang Nan, Hua Lianyue, yes, you are Li Muyan, are your Jiangnan clique going shopping together?"

Jiangnan didn't expect that Gu Xueqing also knew about Jiangnan's clique. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Aunt Gu, we are just here to hang out."

Except for Jiang Nan, Li Muyan, and Hua Lianyue, the other five couldn't get a word in, so they had to wait quietly aside.

At this time, Wu Anting came over with Liu Yuebai. When she saw that Jiang Nan actually knew the mother and daughter guests outside, she didn't interrupt for a moment.

At this time, the girl next to Gu Xueqing suddenly said: "Mom, who are they?"

Gu Xueqing turned around and said: "Oh, Yaoyao, this is Jiangnan, this is Li Muyan, Jiangnan and Li Muyan's father and I are classmates, Jiangnan, Li Muyan, this is my daughter Cheng Luoyao."

Jiang Nan heard the name Cheng Luoyao, and saw that her face was delicate and energetic, so he murmured to himself: "After the autumn war, Cheng is in Luozhongyao, a good name."

Gu Xueqing was shocked. Apparently she didn't expect Jiang Nan to casually reveal the origin of this name.

Cheng Luoyao's eyes lit up. She didn't know her name had such origin, and it seemed to sound pretty good.

Gu Xueqing smiled and said: "Jiangnan, Hua Lianyue, Li Muyan, you all take your time and take your time. Yaoyao and I will go somewhere else."

After saying that, Gu Xueqing pulled Cheng Luoyao away who kept looking back.

Wei Shanshan said at this time: "Jiangnan, you can read a lot. You know such uncommon poems."

Jiang Nan said modestly: "I just blurted out what I felt at the moment."

That's just the way it is, it's just a coincidence.

Liu Yuebai also said: "Jiangnan, do you know the origin of my name?"

Jiang Nan said with a smile: "The origin of your name is very simple. When the moon is on the top of a willow tree, people make an appointment after dusk. I guess your father invited your mother to the grove on the night of the Lantern Festival to confess his love, so you are called Liu Yuebai."

Liu Yuebai was so angry that he said, "I won't give you snacks for a while."

After saying that, Liu Yuebai invited everyone to visit the store, and then enthusiastically gave everyone the snacks she made.

Jiang Nan stood in the store, looking at the simple music atmosphere in the store, and knew that it was not easy for Liu Yuebai to start a business.

After Liu Yuebai finished introducing her snacks and breads, Hua Lianyue introduced Lin Meijia, Wei Shanshan, Du Canglan, and Lin Lan to Liu Yuebai and Wu Anting.

Liu Yuebai looked at Wei Shanshan for a long time and stammered: "Sister, why do I think you look like a foreigner?"

Wei Shanshan said embarrassedly: "My grandma is from the former Soviet Union."

After lingering in Liu Yuebai's shop for a while, everyone didn't want to delay her business. After buying a lot of snacks and bread, Jiangnan Ba ​​only left Xiaobai Bakery.

On the other side of the shopping mall, Gu Xueqing pulled Cheng Luoyao to continue shopping.

Cheng Luoyao asked curiously: "Mom, where did Jiang Nan say my name just now? Is that right?"

Although he had already come out of the bakery, the handsome boy just now was still lingering in Cheng Luoyao's mind.

Gu Xueqing nodded and said, "He is right."

Cheng Luoyao said thoughtfully: "Then he is quite knowledgeable. I have never heard of this poem?"

Gu Xueqing said with a smile: "Back then, your arty dad looked for a verse to name you from all Tang poems, and finally found this line. At that time, he still swore to say such an uncommon verse. No one knew the source. I didn't expect to let my classmate

My son said it casually."

Cheng Luoyao asked in surprise: "Mom, why haven't I heard that you have a classmate named Jiang?"
