Chapter 279 This can't really be called a supermarket, can it?
The tenant's issue wasn't fully resolved, but they unexpectedly learned about An Jianning's thoughts.
The whole family seemed to have more energy to work.
However, the furniture was handled according to Yuan Qionghua's original plan.
According to her...
“If Jianning didn’t have this idea, we would have to worry about what the tenants would think if we moved these furniture over.”
"But as long as you think that the tenant is planning to do business and will pay a higher rent, there is no need to compare with other houses in the neighborhood."
"Now that Jianning has her ideas, isn't that even better?"
"Whether it's a two-story house or a three-story house."
"Fill the rest of the rooms with this furniture."
"Whether it's used to accommodate supermarket employees or for their own families, it shouldn't be a waste."
Of course, with at least one less layer, the question arises whether these pieces of furniture will be usable.
Yuan Qionghua didn't care at all.
After all, in Rongdi, the houses that their families have built now are not just one building.
I had originally considered these houses, but since they weren't intended for rent, the renovations weren't finished yet.
Now I think it's not impossible to temporarily put the furniture on the first floor.
Anyway, we'll move the furniture in after the renovation is finished.
Whether it's renting out the entire building or selling it directly.
You can move in right away with your bags.
After arranging the furniture, An Songyu watched the electrician finish cutting off the power to the last building before leaving.
As she left, she couldn't help but look at her house from afar.
In that building, only one room still had its light on.
The entire building, not to mention the other rooms, and even the surrounding houses, were pitch black.
I wonder if that person will continue to persist under these circumstances.
As An Songyu withdrew his gaze and drove away...
In the only window where the light was on, there was also a figure standing.
He looked at the quiet urban village with a sullen face.
After a long while, he finally looked away.
The next morning, An Songyu was summoned by Yuan Qionghua with a phone call.
At the breakfast table, all of Yuan Qionghua's sisters-in-law were present except for Bi Lizhu.
It even included the An Jianning sisters.
An Jianjia's feelings were complicated.
She had just heard about her younger sister's plans from her sister-in-law.
Compared to Yuan Qionghua and the others who accepted it easily, she couldn't react for a long time.
When An Songyu came over, she didn't respond when she greeted her.
Following Yuan Qionghua to the kitchen to get breakfast, An Songyu couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong with my second aunt? Why is she here so early today?"
"It's not that early!" Yuan Qionghua replied as she deftly took out the tea eggs.
“Your second aunt and uncle came together, and the timing is perfect.”
“That’s true!” An Songyu nodded.
Although Uncle An worked for his wife's family, he was indeed hardworking and diligent.
Since I started working here, I have almost never been late or left early.
However, Aunt An from before came back to help out because she was visiting her parents' home.
And since they are mainly responsible for their own houses, they don't need to come over so early.
But now that the couple has come to Happiness Garden, it's normal for her to come along.
“But what happened to her?” An Songyu asked again.
Yuan Qionghua picked out the glutinous rice chicken she made and put it on a plate.
After thinking for a moment, she answered softly, "Maybe it was your aunt who provoked me."
“Why would I be upset? Doesn’t their family sell vegetables? My aunt owns a supermarket, so she can put vegetables in there just like my aunt’s fruit!” An Songyu answered matter-of-factly.
Yuan Qionghua also subconsciously stopped what she was doing.
It's only the year 2000 now.
Large supermarkets have already opened in small cities like theirs.
But I've seen fruit vendors and cooked food vendors in supermarkets.
But selling vegetables... seems a bit out of place!
However, after careful consideration, Yuan Qionghua realized that there was nothing wrong with this approach.
After all, my sister-in-law's small supermarket is meant to serve the local residents.
If you can sell rice, flour, oil, and salt, why can't you sell fruits and vegetables?
"But... this can't really be called a supermarket, can it?" Yuan Qionghua muttered to herself.
"Why not call it a supermarket?" An Songyu asked, puzzled.
It will be normal for supermarkets to sell fruit in the future.
It's perfectly normal for fruit shops to sell ice cream, snacks, and even eggs and rice.
Although An Songyu did not know when this trend began.
But that didn't stop her from bringing it up early.
"The original meaning of a supermarket is a supermarket market, and the focus is on self-service selection. The larger the supermarket, the more complete the selection of goods."
"The smaller the supermarket, the fewer the variety of products."
"And they are mostly for daily necessities..."
"Rice, flour, and cooking oil are necessities of life; snacks and drinks are necessities of life; various seasonings are necessities of life; and convenience foods are also necessities of life."
"But why aren't fruits and vegetables necessities of life?"
"What you said... does make some sense," Yuan Qionghua replied after thinking for a moment.
"But in your tiny space of about 100 square meters, you still want this and that?"
“There are ways to handle large areas and ways to handle small areas.” An Songyu laughed again:
"It's not a dedicated fruit shop, so even if it sells some fruit, it naturally won't have the same variety as my uncle's fruit shop."
"In other words..."
"Based on the needs of the surrounding residents, we'll focus on seasonal and affordable options," Jiang Shanshan thoughtfully replied from among the group of people who had appeared outside the kitchen at some point.
There's no fruit shop there, which is certainly not because their business is failing.
Rather, An Jianmin and his wife felt that there was no need to open a special room for that location.
But the residents in that area have no need to buy fruit?
Of course not!
However, the fruits they buy are likely to be mostly fresh, seasonal fruits.
This kind of fruit not only tastes good, but is also affordable.
Even in their family-owned chain of fruit stores, this segment consistently ranks among the top sellers.
"Then the same goes for vegetables?" An Jianjia was already beaming with excitement.
Just thinking about how their vegetables can be sold in supermarkets is quite surprising.
She felt inexplicably proud.
But Jiang Shanshan had nothing to say about this.
After all, when it comes to fruits, she can talk about them with great expertise.
But when it comes to vegetables, it's really beyond her knowledge.
"Basically, it's the same as fruit, mainly consisting of seasonal vegetables and those that residents eat regularly, but there will be slightly more varieties than fruit," An Songyu briefly mentioned based on the situation in later generations.
As for the specifics, she believes that once her aunt's supermarket actually opens, things can be adjusted gradually.
Next, everyone at the breakfast table started discussing things in a lively atmosphere.
An Jianning was originally a salesman at a department store, so he was very knowledgeable about the types of products and prices that the small supermarket would need to expand in the future.
If they hadn't been short on time today, they would have almost finished drafting the purchase order.
