Chapter 192

Shen Jianan and Bai Yun began their inspection of the mall. The first floor, home to the food court and the children's play area, was the primary focus of their inspection. While food safety concerns were rare in this era, food options were far less diverse than in modern times. Given the limited per capita consumption levels, the public's pursuit of leisure was not as multifaceted or widespread as it would be in the 21st century. To keep money flowing steadily from the pockets of the masses, one had to achieve the "pinnacle of the contemporary" in every aspect; otherwise, no one would be willing to pay. Therefore, during the initial planning phase, Shen Jianan repeatedly emphasized to Bai Yun that while the offerings in the food court could be common and familiar, the presentation and taste had to be excellent, and the prices could not be too high.
