Definition
小卖 is a shortened form of 小卖部, referring to a small shop or kiosk, often found in schools, workplaces, or residential areas, that sells snacks, drinks, and daily necessities. It's a common term in everyday Chinese for a convenience store-like establishment, but it's typically smaller and less formal than a supermarket.
