Selling the restaurant? What's the situation?

Ji Meng was stunned.

"What?! Dad, are you going to sell the restaurant?"

Ji Xue was the first to jump up, and the papaya on her chest swayed with her movements. She widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.

Although Ji Yu's face was expressionless, her eyes were filled with shock. Her fingers holding the sofa tightened slightly, her lips were pursed, and her face turned slightly pale.

Even the little loli Ji Qing, who was only eleven years old in the middle of them, was shocked by Ji Niancheng's words:

"Dad... This is, this is the small shop left to us by mom..."

Her sniffy voice was filled with a hint of crying and a hint of reluctance. Even the little Dehunting sausage in her arms made a whimpering sound like a situation.

Ji Niancheng glanced at the daughters in a complicated manner and sighed:

"I know..."

"But, the recent operation has also made me see the reality clearly. I am really not the material for running a hotel."

As he said that, he stood up from his seat, looked at the window, looked at the still prosperous night view outside the window, and said in a deep voice:

"I don't have the superb cooking skills of my mother. I opened another Chinese family next door. We can't compete at all. The restaurant has been losing money recently. There is no more money left at home, so it won't work. We want to eat, you have to go to school, and you can't help but pay back the money you owe..."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at several people who were almost begging to look at his daughters, and said with a wry smile:

"Sorry, I'm not a qualified father, but... this is the only way."

"But... Ji Meng... Well... Isn't my sister very successful in improving Xiaolongbao? In the end, the two tables of guests were also quite satisfied with the food. After improving the practice, our business will definitely get better! Moreover, we will also help with the work!"

Ji Xue argued.

"no!"

Ji Niancheng shook his head:

"Your task is to study, so where can you help at the small shop at home? To be honest, half of the work in the shop these days is on your shoulders. Let's see how tired you are?"

The few people became quiet.

Ji Niancheng said it right. The girls are getting up early and going to bed late these days. Although the whole family is happy to work hard together, the price they pay is not low. Even now, the few people yawn from time to time, with dark circles all over their eyes.

“I can drop out of school.”

Suddenly, a cold voice broke the silence.

It's Ji Yu.

"Nothing!"

Ji Niancheng's face changed and he scolded:

"Knowledge changes destiny. Drop out of school? Have you forgotten how your mother told you before she passed away?"

When Ji Yu heard this, her face turned pale and she lowered her head slightly.

However, the hands she clutched at the sofa became tighter.

The atmosphere became heavier for a moment.

"I don't have to sell small shops. I can improve Xiaolongbao and improve other things. My cooking skills are very good. I am confident that I can turn the store into profits."

Ji Meng suddenly stood up, her voice was very soft, but she had firmness and confidence.

She had to stand up. Although she had not truly integrated into this family yet and her words were definitely not worth much, if she didn't do anything at this time, she would expect that the small shop that was making experience would be sold by this cheap dad!

"Ji Meng?"

Ji Niancheng glanced at the eldest daughter in a complicated manner and sighed:

"Maybe you really have superb cooking skills, but... we have Chinese people next door, and... do you want to drop out of school, too?"

In the last sentence, he almost scolded it harshly.

"You and Xiaoxue have excellent grades. You will definitely be able to get into a first-class university in the future. How can you lose your big picture and delay your future because of a small loss?!"

Ji Meng felt that even if she really dropped out of school, she actually had nothing. She was in a systematic way. With her superb cooking skills, she was able to make a fortune. For girls who were cheating, the college entrance examination was a cloud of clouds. It was a road that no one had to take for the dick and the hard-working girl.

But it is obvious that Ji Niancheng doesn't think so.

“What if I could make star-rated food?”

Ji Meng thinks it is necessary to show more trump cards.

If star-rated food is used as the signature of the shop, then the shop can take the boutique business route and open the shop at a limited time every day, while Ji Meng and the others can also take into account their studies.

“Star-rated food?”

Ji Niancheng was slightly stunned, even Ji Yu and Ji Xue were slightly stunned.

"Ji Meng, I can see that you have great cooking skills, but compared to the chef, what is more important to you now is your studies. Maybe one day you can really become a star chef, but it should not be now. Even the Imperial Capital Food University, which has many star chefs, must exceed the 50% meter of the peak-level line before you can get into the exam."

Ji Niancheng said sincerely.

It was obvious that he did not believe the girl's words, but just thought that she was to comfort him and to let him leave a small shop.

Ji Meng was very helpless.

Sometimes, no one believes you to be honest.

She was still about to speak, but was interrupted by Ji Niancheng:

"You don't have to say anything more, I've decided."

"Actually, the general manager of Huaxia Restaurant next door has asked me if I have the intention to transfer the store. They have a good business and plan to expand, but due to space, they can only acquire our store."

"Their offer is also very sincere, enough for our family to pay off the debt, and the remaining money can also be bought with a four-bedroom apartment within the Third Ring Road. In addition, they promised that I could stay at the Huaxia Restaurant to help, and the salary was also good. I would find other part-time jobs nearby, and the overall income is probably enough to support our family's expenses."

As he said that, Ji Niancheng sighed:

"It's just settled. I have made an appointment with them to sign the weekend agreement. The day after tomorrow we will start packing things. I will go out to find a temporary place to stay tomorrow morning, and the shop will be closed. Today everyone is tired, so let's take a break as early as possible."

After saying that, he stood up and left alone.

He is obviously 1.8 meters tall, but at this moment he looks particularly old and bleak.

Several girls sat blankly in the living room, speechless for a while.

Only Ji Qing's slight sob was echoing.

"How can this be done? How can this be done! This is the treasure left by my mother. This is your second betrayal of your mother!"

Ji Xue suddenly stood up and shouted to Ji Niancheng's back. Her nose was red and tears had soaked her eyes at some point.

Ji Niancheng paused slightly on his shoulders and did not look back.

He entered the room, closed the door, and there was no movement again.

"How can this be...Woooo...How can this be..."

Ji Xue sat on the sofa, hugging her young girl and cried bitterly.

Ji Yu was also in tears. She grabbed the sofa cushion tightly, and her lips were almost bleeding.

"Why……"

Seeing the reactions of several people so strongly, Ji Meng was deeply surprised and was also infected.

This small shop is much more precious in their hearts than they imagined...

She sighed, thought for a while, and said softly:

"Do you guys want to leave the shop?"

Several girls raised their heads at the same time.

"If you want, just listen to me."

Her voice was sonorous and powerful.
