Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

On the Jia family's side, Qin Huairu quickly forgot about the fact that the fragrance had spread throughout half the city.

After composing herself, she prepared to move on to the next step of her plan.

“Zhonghai, I’ve made up my mind. We’re going to turn our braised meat shop into a fried chicken shop.”

Yi Zhonghai immediately felt a great headache.

In less than a year, their shop has changed several times since last year.

Each time it's modified, it costs a lot of money. And he pays for all of it.

He didn't spend his pension money on himself; he squandered it all on this.

"Huai Ru, why don't you reconsider? We don't know how Sha Zhu makes his fried chicken."

Qin Huairu could tell at a glance that Yi Zhonghai was reluctant to spend money. Yan Bugui was a stingy person on the surface, but Yi Zhonghai was a stingy person in secret.

This is not up to Yi Zhonghai.

Fried chicken shops are much more profitable than braised meat shops.

"No, we can try to ask. I don't believe no one knows how to do it."

"Zhonghai, our braised meat business isn't doing well right now. If we don't change things, we'll only lose money."

Yi Zhonghai advised, "If you switch to a fried chicken shop, can you guarantee you'll make money?"

Having learned from his previous experiences, Yi Zhonghai had become more self-aware. They simply didn't have the talent for business.

Qin Huairu is now obsessed with money; she's willing to do anything to make money.

She had a sudden inspiration and came up with a reason to persuade Yi Zhonghai.

"This time we can really make money. Do you know why Sha Zhu's fried chicken shop is so profitable?"

"Why?" Yi Zhonghai asked curiously.

Madam Jia also looked over curiously.

Qin Huairu said smugly, "Because fried chicken smells good."

The braised meat needs to be prepared in advance. It has a fragrant aroma when it's fresh out of the pot, but the aroma dissipates quickly.

Fried chicken is different.

When it's fresh out of the pot, the aroma can travel for miles.

Look at the people in Sha Zhu's shop, many of them are children.

They couldn't resist the aroma and wanted more after eating it.

If we can produce it at a price no lower than Sha Zhu's, there will definitely be people who will buy it.

And don't forget, our shop is right at the intersection.

People from several nearby alleys passed by there. Many children also ran that way.

If just half the people buy our fried chicken, we can make a lot of money.

Upon hearing this, Madam Jia was immediately tempted: "Huai Ru, you're right. Let's do it that way."

Our family needs to earn money as soon as possible to find Banggeng a better wife.

The score is now two to one, and the two who agree still have the final say. Yi Zhonghai feels that he is alone and unable to shoulder the burden.

He then thought of bringing in outside help: "Huai Ru, it's not enough if you're willing. Old Yan might not agree."

Qin Huai said confidently, "I'll call Old Yan over right now and ask him myself."

"No. No need, I'll ask him in a bit."

Yi Zhonghai knew Yan Bugui's personality very well.

As long as he can make money, Yan Bugui is more enthusiastic than Qin Huairu.

If Qin Huairu were to ask, Yan Bugui would definitely agree.

Yi Zhonghai hoped to personally persuade Yan Bugui to stop causing trouble.

The back-and-forth trips were exhausting, costing money and leaving me completely worn out.

What's the point of earning more money if you work yourself to death?

The mouse is saving food for the cat.

Qin Huairu is a shrewd person; how could she not know what Yi Zhonghai was thinking?

She's determined to run this fried chicken shop, and nobody can stop her.

"No need for that trouble, I'll invite Old Yan over."

Before Yi Zhonghai could refute, Qin Huairu stood up and went to find Yan Bugui.

Yi Zhonghai watched this scene and sighed helplessly.

Yan Bugui arrived quickly and asked excitedly, "Old Yi, I heard from Huai Ru that she's going to turn the braised meat shop into a fried chicken shop."

That's a great idea! Look at Sha Zhu's fried chicken shop, so many people eat there every day.

Yi Zhonghai interrupted him: "Old Yan, you make it sound so nice, but do you know how Sha Zhu's fried chicken is made?"
His fried chicken isn't something you can just throw into the oil.

Yan Bugui stared, unable to refute Yi Zhonghai's words.

What Yi Zhonghai said makes sense. Putting aside everything else, they don't even know how to handle the outer layer of the skin.

Fried chicken shops must have secret recipes, and since they are secret recipes, they naturally wouldn't easily tell others.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "That's easy to handle. We can ask someone."

So many people in their shop know this; if we put in a little effort, we can definitely find out.

They said they were asking, but in reality they were bribing someone to steal the secret recipe.

That's how they got their recipe for braised meat.

Yan Bugui added, "Yes, Lao Yi. There's a saying that goes, 'Nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it.'"

Since Sha Zhu can share the secret recipe with others, we can get our hands on it.

Think about it, we'll take his secret recipe and steal his business.

If he found out, he'd be so angry he'd vomit blood.

Yi Zhonghai knew what Yan Bugui was thinking. Yan Bugui, of course, also knew what Yi Zhonghai was thinking.

As Yi Zhonghai's old buddy, Yan Bugui knew very well the hatred Yi Zhonghai harbored for He Yuzhu.

Since there is hatred, there will inevitably be a desire for revenge.

By focusing on this point, it would be easy to persuade Yi Zhonghai.

Qin Huairu chimed in, "If Sha Zhu doesn't want us to live a good life, then we must live a good life to show him."

Not only do we want to live a good life, but we also want to live a good life using his things.

Yi Zhonghai was tempted.

The person he hated most in his life was He Yuzhu. It was because He Yuzhu was disobedient that his retirement was in trouble.

The idea of ​​having He Yuzhu support him in his old age became a source of inner turmoil for him.

After so many years of feuding with He Yuzhu, their relationship has become extremely hostile.

Even if He Yuzhu was willing to support him in his old age, he wouldn't dare entrust his care to He Yuzhu.

These days, making He Yuzhu uncomfortable is Yi Zhonghai's biggest dream.

Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to give up the opportunity that was right in front of him.

"Are you sure?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "It's all up to human effort. How will we know we can't succeed if we don't try?"

Seeing that there was a chance, Yan Bugui said, "Old Yi, Huai Ru is right, let's give it a try."

Didn't Xu Damao say that Chen Xiaofang and Bi Xiufeng were in charge of the fried chicken shop?

Let's ask them first. Maybe they'll tell us.

Yi Zhonghai didn't approve of this approach, but there was nothing he could do to stop it.

Qin Huairu and Yan Bugui both agreed; he was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot by himself.

Having found a solution, the group waited in the yard.

It was around 8 o'clock when Bi Xiufeng returned to the courtyard house.

Yan Bugui and Qin Huairu went up to them, and their conversation revolved around news about the fried chicken shop.

Bi Xiufeng learned from Chen Xiaofang that they had gone to the fried chicken shop.

Seeing that they kept asking about the fried chicken shop, I guessed that some of them must have something in mind.

Bi Xiufeng was also curious about this, so she asked directly, "I've been working all day and I'm exhausted."

Just say what you want to say directly, don't beat around the bush.

Qin Huairu and Yan Bugui exchanged a glance, and Qin Huairu simply spoke up.

"Xiufeng, you know about my family's situation..."

Bi Xiufeng thought Qin Huai wanted to borrow money, or perhaps wanted to work at Xiangpiao Bancheng.

She refused to agree to either request.

Qin Huairu is notorious for borrowing money and not repaying it. Lending money to Qin Huairu is like throwing good money after bad.

As for working in Xiangpiao Bancheng, that's even more impossible.

"Stop. Your family's situation is none of my business. I have no way of helping you."

If you're going to say that, then don't open your mouth. (End of Chapter)
