Chapter 126: Talking at cross purposes



Upon hearing this, Chen Chen shook his head and said, "I don't plan to open a restaurant unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Why?" Li Mo asked puzzledly.

Chen Chen said as if it was a matter of course: "Running a restaurant is so tiring, there are so many chores to do. If there is no chef, I have to go to the kitchen to cook. It's okay in the winter, but it's so hot in the summer that it's unbearable.

If I train a chef, I'll have to worry about the recipe leaking, so it's better to open a small restaurant and just sell a few things. It's profitable and not too tiring."

After that, he said to Li Mo: "You can never make enough money. While making money, we must also learn to enjoy life."

Li Mo thought this made perfect sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's open a small restaurant and sell these things. But can I get a share of the profits?"

Chen Zhen had said before that he would give him some share, but he refused it. After all, these were all Chen Zhen's things. Although he helped out normally, Chen Zhen and his family did not treat him badly when it came to food and drink at home, so he felt unworthy of the share.

He wanted to participate in the share of the profits of this store because, firstly, he was the one who raised all the chickens and ducks, which meant he had worked hard. Secondly, he was also of marriageable age, so it was time for him to save some money for his marriage in the future.

"Of course," Chen Chen agreed immediately. "You were responsible for raising these chickens and ducks. It's only right that you get a share. Even if you don't take any shares, I'll still pay you. You can't always work for nothing."

After saying that, Chen Chen continued, "Don't look at the fact that this restaurant is relatively small and the variety of things it sells is not that wide, but when the time comes, the profit will definitely not be worse than that of a restaurant. Just wait and collect the money at home."

After hearing this, Li Mo smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait to count the money."

A few days after the matter was discussed, Li Mo bought the shop and hired someone to renovate it. Because there were not many things to sell and most of the items were takeout, Li Mo did not buy a too big shop, but the decoration of the shop was quite exquisite.

In Chen Zhen's words, even though we don't sell much, we still have to maintain our dignity and not lose face.

That day, when the family was having lunch at home, Li Mo said to Chen Chen, "The shop is almost finished being renovated. Who are you going to let work there?"

"Let's take Wen Ye and Wen Zhong. They have some talent in cooking. I will teach them the cooking methods in the next two days, and then let them go to the store to manage the shop directly." Chen Chen said.

Li Mo nodded upon hearing this, and then said, "Then I will transfer Lin Wu and Lin Liu to the workshop and let them help with the work."

After that, he asked again: "What should we name the store?"

After a brief moment of thought, Chen Chen excitedly said to Li Mo, "I've got it. I've come up with a very unique name, 'Chicken and Duck Talking'. Then we can hang two signs on either side of the door. One side will say 'The Most Delicious Duck in the World', and the other side will say 'Unique Beggar's Chicken'. What do you think?"

After the family heard his words, there was a moment of silence at the dinner table. This name is really easy to understand and particularly to the point.

After Grandpa He coughed lightly, he discussed with Chen Chen, "Brother Chen, why don't you ask Xiaoshu to give you a more special name?"

He felt that his family was a family of scholars after all, so shouldn't the name have something to do with scholars?

"Yes, I think grandpa is right. How about we let Xiaoshu give it a more special name?" Li Mo also interjected.

Chen Zhen was puzzled when he heard this and said, "Isn't this name special? I think it's quite special. There must be only one such name in our Dongli Country."
