In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

Sweet and sour pork ribs, fried shrimp with pineapple, and candied eggplant.

All three dishes were made sweet according to their requirements.

Only the remaining kelp tofu soup was salty.

On this day, Gen Chiye originally wanted to come to Touma's house, politely decline Touma Yoko's request, and then go back.

After making lunch, Yuan Qianye used their oven to bake a few plates of cookies in the afternoon.

I finally experienced the feeling of being a househusband after a long time.

"How is it?" Yuan Qianye looked at Liuhua whose cheeks were bulging.

Liuhua nodded vigorously: "It's super delicious, and it has a strong milky flavor!"

How could it not be delicious? In Touma’s kitchen, all the food ingredients are of the highest quality.

At the end of September, the Yuan family resumed their long-awaited family meeting.

They didn't have this habit when Lao Yuan and Xiao Yuan depended on each other, but later when Runzi's mother brought the Kotori sisters here.

The female head of the family suggested that this be an effective way to enhance the relationship between family members and deepen the bond between them.

What she said was very nice, heartwarming and well-organized. I don't know if she came up with this idea herself or saw it on some emotional TV show.

Anyway, this tradition has been established since then and it is held at the end of every month.

The family of five got together after dinner, talked to each other and had a simple chat.

There is no specific direction for the specific content of the chat. Everyone can speak freely to each other, from small things like deciding the daily menu for the next week to big things like looking forward to specific ideals for future development.

In previous family meetings, Yuan Qianye was always the most prominent one.

It’s not that he talks the most, but he is always pulled out by Runzi’s mother and praised repeatedly and emphasized.

This is what top students are like. They always easily take the center position at home and enjoy honor and applause.

In contrast, Rika always has to attend every family meeting and is the one who is urged and encouraged.

Her mother would keep an eye on her studies, and although she wouldn't be scolded if her grades dropped, Rika would feel her face burning just by seeing her helpless and disappointed look. Of course, the burning only lasted for a short while, and after that, it would pass.

As for her elder sister, probably because she couldn't find a boyfriend, she was so bored that she would stare at her thighs and belly and tease them whenever she had free time. Rikka was very vindictive. To this day, she still remembers that her elder sister said in front of the whole family at the end of May that she had gained weight again, and even tried to reduce her pocket money, hoping that she would buy less snacks!

It's so vicious!

I wonder if my mom will lecture me about my grades again during this family meeting, or if my sister will tell me about how I stayed up all night practicing Taoism during the summer vacation...

But unexpectedly, the situation that Liuhua worried about did not happen at this family meeting.

On the contrary, Minamoto no Sanada changed his usual easy-going demeanor and announced a big news with a firm look in his eyes.

"Dad, are you going to quit your job and open a bar yourself?"

Not only Yuan Qianye was surprised, but Touka and Rika were also surprised.

Gen Sanada nodded heavily.

"Dad, why did you suddenly have this idea?" Shihua was not in a convenient position, so Yuan Qianye asked the question.

"I used to live too carefree, but I suddenly realized that this isn't enough. Rikka and Touka are already so old, but they still live in the same small room. Qianye, you're the same way. You even worked in a bar to support your family... I'm a really unfit father to let you suffer like this at such a young age."

Seeing the guilty look on Yuan's father's face, Shihua couldn't help but comfort him: "Dad, don't put so much pressure on yourself. Liuhua and I don't think it's a big deal. As for Qianye... He just took the initiative to work because he thought it was interesting."

Gen Sanada shook his head and insisted on his own idea.

"I still feel like I can't go on like this. Putting aside outrageous dreams, I want to work hard to at least move out of this small house in a short period of time. The kitchen and living room of my new home should be bigger, and I want each of you to have a spacious and bright room."

All in all, he has strengthened his belief.

I want to start my own business and make money to provide my daughter and son with a better living environment and become their pillar of support and confidence!

Rikka's expression changed quickly. She smiled in surprise and clapped her hands excitedly.

She didn't think too much about it, she just simply thought it would be great if she could have an independent room of her own as Yuan's father said.

She has been suppressed by Shihua in the same room for a long time! She urgently needs a private space that can be locked up and belongs to her alone!

Shihua didn't know what to say at this time, and subconsciously looked at Yuan Qianye. She herself didn't even notice when she developed this habit.

Yuan Qianye also found it interesting to see his father looking so energetic, which was unusual for him.

As they were both men, he could understand Minamoto's feelings to some extent after hearing what he had just said.

"Dad, since you said so, there's no reason for us not to support you."

After hearing what Qianye said, Shihua naturally nodded.

As for Rikka, the smile on her face long ago clearly expressed her thoughts.

Yuan Qianye asked, "Dad, you're planning to open your own shop. Is there anything we can do to help you?"

Gen Sanada rubbed the back of his head sheepishly: "That's true..."

Runzi's mother spoke softly at the side: "Since everyone agrees with Dad's idea and wants to support him, then our family must work together."

"Oh!" Rikka raised her hands high and made the atmosphere very lively all by herself.

"Starting a business requires capital. We might have to be a little more frugal with our household expenses from now on. I won't buy Mom any cosmetics for the time being, and Dad won't drink for the time being. Also..."

Eh?

Rika's ahoge trembled, and she instinctively felt something was wrong.

Runzi's mother and Yuan's father clasped their hands together, looking apologetic. "...The pocket money for the three of you will be slightly reduced during this period."

a bolt from the blue!

Liuhua's smile froze on her face: "Reduce...reduce by how much?"

Runzi's mother stuck out her tongue and said, "Half."

Liuhua couldn't laugh anymore.

066: Stupid Daughter and Helpless Mother

On the day that Minamoto Sanada resigned, the owner of Yuan Bar's eyes flashed with reluctance and sadness for the parting.

With the departure of the shop's signature bartender, who was both handsome and talented, his business, which mainly catered to female customers, would undoubtedly suffer a heavy blow.

The wonderful plan of father and son joining forces was aborted before it was even officially spoken out.

Alas, it’s fate, and we can’t force it.

However, this concerns the survival of Yuan Bar, so in the end, no matter what, I have to give it a try.

"Lao Yuan, if you open a shop...it shouldn't be around here, right?"

"Don't worry, store manager. Besides, I can't afford the rent for a storefront around here."

This sentence made the store manager breathe a sigh of relief.

He was not wrong about Minamoto no Sanada; he was indeed a loyal and honest man.

After officially resigning,

Minamoto Sanada sold all the stocks he had been holding, added the remaining money in the family, and the thank-you money that Minamoto Chiye received from Touma Yoko.

Excluding fixed assets such as houses, the total amount is only a little over 30 million.

These deposits are not small, but think about it from an adult perspective.

When opening a store, you can't think too idealistically at the beginning. You have to have confidence, but you also have to consider the consequences of failure and leave a way out for your family.

So I have to set aside 10 million yuan and not touch it. This is for the normal expenses and life of the family.

In this way, the total budget for opening a store must be ensured to be within 20 million.

To be honest, it's a bit too little, but that was originally planned by Sanada.

He plans to open a bar that is more literary and artistic, with light music as the main feature and a quiet environment, suitable for a few friends to chat and gather together.

Normally, it is enough for him to stay in the store alone to greet customers, not to mention that his wife can come and help occasionally when she gets off work early.

Therefore, the expenses on hiring staff salaries are omitted, and the only expenses left are rent and the purchase of various beverage equipment in the store.

Everything is ready, except for a suitable storefront.

In this regard, Gen Sanada does not consider real estate agencies. The reason is simple: the agency fees charged are too expensive.

His initial capital was not enough, so he could not spend the money on such extravagant things.

It's nothing more than a storefront. He just needs to work harder and look for more.

So he used both online and offline methods to find storefronts.

There is an effect, but the results after a few days are not ideal.

He did have his eyes on a few storefronts, but either the rental contracts for these stores were too long, often requiring two or three years, or the monthly rent was too high for him to afford.

A week had passed, and Gen Sanada still hadn't found the store he wanted. Although he couldn't show anything on the surface, he was indeed getting anxious inside.

At this moment, Rika's unreasonable good luck, which seemed to be a gift from God, came into play again, proving that the rice she ate at home was not in vain.

When she and Eriri went out to the mall to buy beautiful clothes for girls, they passed by a street and happened to catch a glimpse of a transfer notice posted at the door of a bar.

The bar was closed, so she could only lie down in front of the door through the transparent glass and take a closer look inside.

She found that the space inside the small bar was not very large, and although the street was a bit remote, after careful observation, she found that the flow of people was quite good, which was in line with Yuan's father's psychological expectations.

She immediately took a photo of the transfer notice at the store entrance and sent it to Gen Sanada via mobile phone.

Yuan Qianye was currently strolling the streets with his father, looking for a suitable storefront.

After receiving Rikka's message, the two of them came here together to check.

Forty minutes after the call, the bar owner came to open the door and led them into the store for a closer look.

The boss is a young American who doesn't talk much.

But while Yuan's father and son were watching the store, he was chatting with his family on his mobile phone.

Yuan Qianye had his back to him, but he had the Eyes of God.

He can even see nose hairs clearly, let alone the chat content on the phone.

He learned some information about his boss through the chat records.

The boss was used as a credit card bait by a bad woman in Neon. After the bootlicker woke up and saw through the reality, he was heartbroken. He really had no intention of continuing to run the bar and had no plans to develop here. He was preparing to return to China soon.

However, the bar still had more than a year's lease left on its lease, and he didn't want to waste it, so he thought about transferring all the equipment inside the bar.

This store has a good location, and several people have come here to inquire about the details before.

But after hearing the boss's request, they all shook their heads and said forget it, they didn't plan to open a bar, so there was no use for these equipment.

But this is different for Gen Sanada. These equipment, including the bar's interior decoration style with good taste, are ready-made for him and couldn't be better.

If he takes over this bar, he only needs to make slight changes according to his own preferences and tastes, and after obtaining official certificates such as business license, liquor sales permit, and fire safety permit, he can open the store immediately.

After looking for so many days, he found that this storefront for sale was the one that suited his taste the most.

However, neither the father nor the son of the Yuan family are naive and innocent.

The son saw satisfaction in his father's eyes.

The two nodded slightly to each other.

Some tacit understandings need no further words.

Led by Yuan Qianye, the two people's seemingly casual conversation revealed their idea of taking over this restaurant and running a catering business, and they seemed not to be very interested in the bar equipment.

They asked the other party about the price, and after some bargaining, the two shook their heads and left unsatisfied.
