Chapter 2270
A Happy Family
"KFC chicken leg".
Jia Zhangshi, who rarely spoke, suddenly opened her mouth.
Liu Haizhong said with disdain, "Sister-in-law, what kind of shop has such a name?"
Jia Zhangshi said, "Why not? I heard from Bang Geng that there's a foreign fried chicken restaurant called KFC."
Why can't our shop be called Ken's Chicken Leg?
If you think it's not right, you do it.
Liu Haizhong racked his brains for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a suitable name.
Their fried chicken shop is competing with Xiangpiao Bancheng.
When it comes to the store name, it definitely can't fall behind.
When Auntie Er saw that Liu Haizhong couldn't figure it out, she stepped forward to help.
"Shazhu's fried chicken shop is called 'Fragrance Spreads Halfway Through the City,' so our fried chicken shop will be called 'Fragrance Spreads Throughout the City.'"
That way, I can suppress him by half a head.
Liu Haizhong slapped his thigh: "This is great. Let's call it 'Fragrance Spreads Throughout the City'."
Liu Haizhong was the second uncle, and he had a bad temper, so the younger generation in the courtyard were all afraid of him.
In addition, Yi Zhonghai is now in charge, and he doesn't like younger generations contradicting their elders.
Several younger members of the family were unhappy with the shop's name, but they were afraid of offending Yi Zhonghai, so no one dared to object.
Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai remained rational and did not agree to the name.
"We can't use this name. If you use this name, people will think we copied Sha Zhu."
Liu Haizhong asked, "This won't work, then think of one."
Yi Zhonghai remained silent, racking his brains to come up with a shop name that suited his taste.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Haizhong assumed that he couldn't figure it out.
"Old Yan, you're a scholar, think of one."
Yan Bugui had been eager to try for a long time, and had come up with several names by quoting classical texts.
The name is quite nice.
However, people generally feel that using it for fried chicken shops is a bit inappropriate.
Just when everyone was unsure how to choose, Yi Zhonghai finally came up with a name that suited his taste.
"I think we should call it 'Happy Family'."
"A happy family?" The group was completely baffled.
“Who would name a shop that? No way!” Yan Bugui was the first to object.
He came up with so many nice names; it would be a waste not to use them.
Yi Zhonghai explained, "Why not? Don't forget what Sha Zhu Fried Chicken Shop's name is."
Liu Haizhong asked, puzzled, "What does this have to do with Sha Zhu's fried chicken shop name?"
Yi Zhonghai turned his head and looked around: "It's very important. Do you think Sha Zhu named his shop to curry favor with Lou Bancheng?"
Qin Huairu knew Yi Zhonghai all too well. She knew that Yi Zhonghai had made up his mind to use this name.
No one can stop Yi Zhonghai from doing what he wants; and no one can make Yi Zhonghai do what he doesn't want to do.
They didn't want the name, so they had to wait for Yi Zhonghai to explain his reasons for choosing it, and then find loopholes in his explanation to convince him.
"Stop keeping us in suspense. Just tell us why you chose this name."
Yi Zhonghai gave Qin Huairu face and directly stated his reasons.
"Are we family now?"
"Yes." No one objected; the answer was always crisp and clear.
The Bang couple, in particular, were even more explicit in their remarks.
"Dad, of course we're family."
Yan Jiecheng and the others, seeing the two men's blatant behavior, all showed disdain and silently uttered three words.
"Sycophant."
Yi Zhonghai was particularly pleased with the couple's attitude and smiled at them.
"We're a family, so isn't it perfect that our fried egg shop is called 'Happy Family'?"
Although they were still not entirely happy, no one dared to deny Yi Zhonghai's reasons.
They were all afraid of incurring Yi Zhonghai's wrath and missing out on this opportunity to make a fortune.
Yi Zhonghai didn't care what others thought and said directly, "I chose this name to openly and honestly insult Sha Zhu."
Everyone is puzzled.
"A happy family, is that an insult?" Liu Haizhong couldn't understand.
"Yes." Everyone echoed Liu Haizhong's words.
They racked their brains but couldn't understand how this was considered an insult to He Yuzhu.
Yi Zhonghai explained smugly, "Who is Sha Zhu?"
That's an ungrateful wretch, a selfish and petty person.
We'll open a fried chicken shop called "Happy Family" across from his fried chicken shop.
That is to tell him that we can live just as happily as a family without him.
Do you think this is an insult to Sha Zhu?
He opened the "Fragrance Spreads Halfway Through the City" car to curry favor with Lou Bancheng.
We created the "Happy Family" program to show him that happiness comes from relying on himself.
While this may not be as harsh as an old woman's cursing, I think it's the most vicious curse directed at Sha Zhu.
So, that's how the shop's name was decided.
The group exchanged glances, knowing that Yi Zhonghai had made up his mind and there was no room for objection.
Then everyone else started singing hymns of praise.
Yan Bugui said with a fawning expression, "Old Yi is really something. He didn't utter a single swear word before he scolded Sha Zhu."
"I haven't admired many people in my life, but Lao Yi, I admire you today."
Liu Haizhong couldn't say anything too explicit, so he could only shout "Good!"
The other younger members were also racking their brains to think of things to say to Yi Zhonghai.
Those who don't know the situation might think it's praising Zhuge Liang.
Yi Zhonghai felt a little elated listening to their flattery.
In his plan, a happy retirement life should look like this.
Yan Bugui thought for a moment and then said, "Shazhu even made up a story to please Lou Bancheng."
"Shall we make up a story too?"
Yi Zhonghai asked, "Then what kind of story do you think we should make up?"
Everyone else turned to look at Yan Bugui.
Of all those present, only Yan Bugui could be considered a cultured person, and only he knew how to make up stories.
Yan Bugui had already planned it out and began to show off.
"The story should naturally revolve around a happy family. I think our story is pretty good."
Look, Lao Yi's surname is Yi, Lao Liu's surname is Liu, my surname is Yan, and my sister-in-law's surname is Jia.
In terms of surnames, we are not related.
Liu Haizhong was almost confused by Yan Bugui's words: "Isn't that obvious? If I'm not surnamed Liu, what would I be surnamed?"
Yan Bugui glanced at him with displeasure: "What's your hurry?"
Although we are not family, we are closer than family.
"Don't you think our story is more captivating than Lou Bancheng's?"
Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Our story is indeed more captivating than Lou Bancheng's story as a capitalist."
Everyone knows that Yi Zhonghai's biggest dream in life is to retire.
Anyone who dares to disrupt Yi Zhonghai's retirement is Yi Zhonghai's enemy.
None of the younger generation present dared to object.
As for what they are really thinking, only they themselves know.
Yan Bugui became even more smug when he saw that no one objected.
"There's another reason behind this!"
Yi Zhonghai, showing great courtesy, asked, "What else is there to it?"
Yan Bugui said, "You see, internally, we don't share the same surname, but we've become one family."
To outsiders, the customers who come to our store to buy fried chicken don't even share the same surname as us. But once they enter our store, we treat them like family.
Sha Zhu's restaurant, isn't it supposed to be that the customer is God?
We treat our customers like family.
God is an outsider; family is family.
Do you think people will feel more connected to our shop after hearing my story?
Yan Jiecheng had to admit that his own father was quite good at making up lies.
"Uncle, I think my dad is right. We should treat our customers like family and be even more welcoming." (End of Chapter)
