Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

He Yuzhu decided to use his cooking skills to open a small family restaurant. He believed that with his and his brother's cooking skills, they would be able to attract many customers. So he began to actively prepare, purchase necessary tableware and ingredients, and set up several simple dining tables in the yard.

The next morning, He Yuzhu hung a handwritten sign at the entrance of the courtyard: "He's Bistro". The sign was simple, but full of hope. He waited expectantly for the first customers to arrive.

Soon, neighbors in the courtyard came to patronize the restaurant. They had heard about He Yuzhu's cooking skills and were willing to come to support him. An old neighbor tasted the braised pork and said with satisfaction: "Yuzhu, your cooking skills are really not worse than your brother's! This restaurant is well run, I will come here every day in the future!"

He Yuzhu listened to the compliments from customers, and his heart was filled with confidence and gratitude. He knew that this was not only a recognition of his cooking skills, but also a support for his efforts.

As the business of the restaurant got better and better, He Yuzhu gradually saved some money. He was busy every day, not only preparing ingredients, but also cooking to provide delicious meals for customers. Whenever it was late at night, he would always sit in the yard, thinking about how to make the business of the restaurant better, and at the same time missing his brother and father who were far away in his hometown.

One weekend, Qin Huairu brought the children to He's Restaurant for dinner. The children ate with gusto, and Qin Huairu smiled and said to He Yuzhu: "Yuzhu, your cooking skills are getting better and better! The children are very happy to eat."

He Yuzhu smiled and replied: "Thank you for the compliment, Sister Huairu. As long as you like it, I will continue to work hard."

Then, Qin Huairu asked in a low voice: "Yuzhu, I heard that Daqing is taking care of his father in his hometown. How is the situation? Do you need help?"

He Yuzhu nodded, feeling warm in his heart: "Brother Daqing is having a hard time back home, but I will try my best to raise funds to help them through this difficult time. Thank you for your concern, Sister Huairu."

Qin Huairu patted He Yuzhu's shoulder and said gently: "We are all neighbors. If you need anything, just tell us and we will do our best to help."

He Yuzhu was touched. He knew that he was not fighting alone, and with so many neighbors who cared about and supported him, he would be able to persevere.

One evening, He Yuzhu was busy preparing dinner when he suddenly received a call from a stranger. The caller claimed to be the owner of a catering company. He had heard about He Yuzhu's cooking skills and wanted to invite him to be the chef of their restaurant. He Yuzhu was filled with hesitation and excitement.

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu sat in the yard, wondering whether to accept the invitation. If he accepted, he would have the opportunity to earn more money to help his brother and father through the difficult times; but if he left the courtyard, he was worried about the relationship between his small restaurant and the neighbors.

Just as he was struggling, the deaf old lady came over and asked with concern: "Yuzhu, you look so sad, what happened?"

He Yuzhu sighed and told the deaf old lady what happened. After listening, the old lady smiled and said, "Yuzhu, no matter what decision you make, remember to follow your heart. You are a good child and you will definitely find the path that suits you best."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu suddenly became enlightened. He decided to try the restaurant first, which would not only allow him to gain experience but also earn more money. So he called the boss and accepted the invitation.

In the following days, He Yuzhu worked in the restaurant during the day and returned to the courtyard to continue running the restaurant at night. Although he was busy, he had never felt so fulfilled and purposeful. He knew that all this was for his family, for that responsibility and commitment.

Day after day, He Yuzhu's cooking skills have been continuously improved in practice. He has not only learned more cooking techniques, but also accumulated rich business experience. Whenever he stands in the kitchen and looks at the delicious dishes he made, his heart is filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride.

One night, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard and saw that the courtyard was brightly lit and the neighbors were sitting together, waiting for his return. The deaf old lady smiled and said, "Yuzhu, everyone is waiting for you to come back. Come and tell us about your experience in the restaurant."

He Yuzhu walked over with a smile, sat in the middle of the group, and began to tell the interesting things and gains he made while working in the restaurant. The neighbors listened with great interest and laughed from time to time.

Late at night, He Yuzhu sat in the yard, looking at the starry sky, and silently said in his heart: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely pass on our craft and make it flourish."

On an autumn afternoon, He Daqing finally returned to the courtyard. Although he looked tired, he could not hide his joy of reunion. He Yuzhu saw his brother coming back and excitedly greeted him: "Brother, you are back! How is the situation in your hometown?"

He Daqing nodded and smiled with relief: "Father's condition is much better, and the family affairs have been dealt with. I have been thinking about our future plans, Yuzhu, I have an idea."

He Yuzhu asked curiously: "What do you think, brother?"

He Daqing looked at his brother, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Let's open a restaurant together and carry forward our family's craftsmanship. This will not only help us support ourselves better, but also raise more funds for our family. What do you think?"

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, with mixed emotions in his heart. Opening a restaurant has always been his dream, but he was excited and a little nervous when it came to putting it into practice. He took a deep breath and said, "Brother, of course I am willing to do it, but opening a restaurant requires a lot of money and energy. Can we do it?"

He Daqing patted his brother on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If we work together, we will definitely succeed. You have already proved your ability in the small restaurant in the courtyard. Now we just need to make it bigger. The most important thing is that we must have confidence."

He Yuzhu nodded, and his doubts were gradually replaced by determination. He looked at his brother, and a surge of blood surged in his heart: "Okay, brother, I'll listen to you! Let's open a restaurant together!"

In the following days, the two brothers began to prepare for opening a restaurant. They looked for a suitable store and purchased the necessary equipment and ingredients. He Yuzhu continued to run the small restaurant in the courtyard, and his days were busy but fulfilling, while He Daqing was responsible for negotiating with suppliers to ensure that the ingredients in the store were fresh and reasonably priced.

One day, the two brothers came to a new store with a good location and a large flow of people. He Daqing excitedly said to He Yuzhu: "Yuzhu, what do you think of this place? I think it is very suitable for our restaurant."
