Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Chapter 549 Opening Ceremony Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li are both practical people. After they collected all the money, they started to take action immediately.

The old store soon posted a transfer information, and the new stores have already been rented.

In less than a month, the transition from the old to the new was completed.

In the evening, the couple looked at the newly renovated hot pot restaurant and felt very happy.

"Lili, we can't just open this hot pot restaurant quietly. We have to make some noise and hold an opening ceremony." Yan Jiecheng whispered, asking for his wife's opinion.

"I think it's okay. Let's set up a few more banquets and collect some membership fees. That way we can break even on the costs. We might even make a small profit!" Yu Li's eyes were full of shrewdness and she thought longer-term than Yan Jiecheng.

"My dear wife, you have good vision. Let's do this."

The couple sat down and started discussing which people to bring and how many tables to prepare.

However, when they came to discussing Xu Damao, the two began to get tangled up again.

"Lili, you can't bring Xu Damao with you, right? Your family knows everything about him and Yu Haitang. It would be so awkward if they really had dinner together!" Yan Jiecheng said hesitantly.

"What's so embarrassing about this? We only invited my parents, and I didn't invite anyone else. I didn't expect them to come over for dinner anyway." Yu Li responded immediately.

"Ah? Isn't this a bit bad?"

"Just listen to me. People in my family don't usually go to restaurants. If they do come to our store, you think we have to give them a discount or round off the price. We don't make any money at all.

But Xu Damao is different. In the past two years, he has treated the engineering team to several meals in the restaurant, and he didn’t pay less money every time.”

Xu Damao is a man who cares a lot about his reputation. He likes to make a scene when doing things. It is quite easy to make money from him.

"Okay! I'll listen to you." Yan Jiecheng nodded in agreement. In his heart, he admired his daughter-in-law even more.

In the courtyard, Yan Bugui's mood has improved in the past few days.

Yan Jiecheng was a man of his words. He really sent the children back home every weekend. However, the two of them had to go to the store to work, so they didn't stay in the courtyard for long.

Today, Jie Cheng specifically gave him the task of treating everyone, and he really took it seriously.

"Xiao Li is back. Jiecheng's new store will open this weekend. You must go then! I have already informed you!" Yan Bugui said with a smile.

"Hasn't this store been open for a long time? Why are you opening another store? Have you expanded it?"

"The original store was a bit small! Now we have a bigger one, so the previous one has to close." Yan Bugui said modestly.

"You two are really good at solving this problem! Where is the store? Is it around noon on the weekend?"

"It's noon, the store is at..."

After everyone left, the third uncle stood guard at the door waiting for the next person to come back from get off work.

Liu Qingshan and Feng Yu were also invited. The third uncle really didn't miss a single one.

On this weekend, everyone in the courtyard made an appointment to go to Jiecheng's new store. Liu Qingshan even specially let Qin Huairu take half a day off.

When we arrived, the three uncles and aunts, wearing new clothes, stood at the door to welcome the guests.

"Why are you standing here? Why don't you go sit inside?" Yi Zhonghai asked with a smile when he saw the third uncle.

"I'm afraid you won't know the way. I'll be waiting for you at the door."

"In case we don't know the way, shouldn't you come with us?"

"How can it be the same? I am half the host, I have to come and put things in order!"

Uncle Sanye was just flattering himself by saying this. In fact, this shop had nothing to do with him.

The group chatted and laughed as they walked into the store.

Liu Qingshan and Sha Zhu both run restaurants. Looking at the decoration inside, they nodded.

"The decoration of this store is pretty good! I guess it cost a lot of money?" Sha Zhu looked at Liu Qingshan and asked with a smile.

"It should be a lot. Look at the row of lights over there, and these tables and chairs. It won't be possible without enough money." Liu Qingshan looked around and said with a smile.

"That staircase is nicely done, it looks like it's been repainted!"

"The store is quite large, and the rent probably won't be cheap. If one of the couple doesn't manage it well, they might end up losing money." Xu Damao appeared out of nowhere and stood behind them and whispered.

"Hey! Why are you here! You've already moved out, why should we invite you?" Sha Zhu looked over in the direction of the voice, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart.

"Why can't I come over? We grew up together as childhood friends!" Xu Damao said indignantly.

"Yes, yes, yes! Nothing wrong."

"That's right. You two are in the same business, so you can both come. I am his client anyway, so it's only right for him to invite me."

What Xu Damao said really made sense, and Sha Zhu was speechless for a moment.

After they were seated, something even more speechless happened. He and Xu Damao were seated at the same table, and they turned their heads to the left and the right, not even looking at each other.

This time, the third uncle was not left behind. He and the third aunt sat at the same table with a group of elders in the courtyard.

A group of people were commenting on this new store.

"Lao He, you are an expert in running a restaurant. What do you think of opening this restaurant?" The third uncle brought up the topic and asked with a smile.

"Jie Cheng's store is really big. A lot of money was spent on its decoration. It's very classy!" He Daqing was only saying nice things.

"That's right. The couple has been visiting almost all the old restaurants in the city recently, and only then did they decide on the renovation plan."

"It's really good!" He Daqing complained in his heart, I was wondering why it looked familiar, several of these dishes are imitating those of Shaun Xiangju!

Soon everyone arrived, and Yan Jiecheng and his wife walked to the front of the stage and began to give their opening remarks with a smile.

"Qingshan, did you pay attention just now? I didn't seem to see the other people from the third uncle's family?" Xu Damao suddenly said in a low voice.

After hearing this, Liu Qingshan also looked up and indeed did not notice anything.

"When Yan Jiecheng did things, he didn't even bring his brothers and sisters with him? This is unacceptable, isn't it?" Sha Zhu didn't care about ignoring Xu Damao anymore and said quickly.

"What's so strange about this? Didn't you notice? From the Yu family, only the old couple came, no one else came!" Qin Huairu also spoke up at this time.

"After earning some money, you don't even know your last name? Do you want to cut off all ties with your brothers and sisters?" Xu Damao sighed.

"We didn't have much contact, so it's not surprising that you didn't invite me."

As they chatted, Yu Li finished her speech. The waiter started delivering copper pots to the tables.

"We're having hotpot right at the opening? You can't run a hotpot restaurant like this, right? How can this be served at a banquet?" Xu Damao frowned and said unhappily.

"That's enough! At least there are still a few plates of meat. What are you looking forward to at the Yan family's feast?" Qin Huairu's words made everyone at the table laugh.
