Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

This courtyard has witnessed the joys and sorrows of several generations of the He family, and has also become their spiritual harbor. He Daqing used his wisdom and tenacity to guide He Yuzhu onto the right path, and He Yuzhu also found his own happiness and satisfaction in the process.

He Daqing and He Yuzhu's life gradually got back on track, but life is never smooth sailing. During this period, He Daqing also encountered some unexpected troubles. He Daqing was drinking tea alone in the yard, thinking about the management of the teahouse. He found that the business was a little quiet recently, and he felt uneasy. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. He Daqing got up to open the door and saw a middle-aged woman in plain clothes standing at the door.

"Are you He Daqing?" the woman asked, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation in her voice.

"It's me. May I ask who you are?" He Daqing was a little confused.

"I'm Aunt Li, your old neighbor. You may not remember me, but I always remember you." Aunt Li smiled, with memories gleaming in her eyes.

He Daqing suddenly realized that Aunt Li was his neighbor when he was young, and their two families had a very good relationship at that time. "Aunt Li, come in and sit down!" He Daqing warmly invited her in.

Aunt Li sat on a rattan chair in the courtyard, looked around, and sighed: "This courtyard is still the same as before, it feels like home." There was a hint of nostalgia in her voice, and then she turned to He Daqing and her tone became serious. "Daqing, I came here today to talk to you about the teahouse."

He Daqing was stunned, and he felt that Aunt Li had something important to say. "Aunt Li, please tell me what you want to say."

Aunt Li sighed and said, "There are some foreign teahouses in this area recently. They are engaging in price wars and attracting many customers. Your teahouse is a time-honored brand. Although it has a good reputation, its business has been hit. I think you should think of a solution, otherwise it may not be good in the long run."

He Daqing frowned, knowing that Aunt Li was right. Although the teahouse's business had always been stable, the pressure of competition made him feel uneasy. He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Aunt Li, thank you for your reminder. I will discuss it with Yu Zhu and think of a solution."

That night, He Daqing and He Yuzhu discussed countermeasures under the lamp. He Daqing looked at his son, "Yuzhu, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to take the initiative and find ways to attract more customers."

He Yuzhu also realized the seriousness of the problem, and he nodded firmly. "Dad, I also think we have to make some changes. Maybe we can add some special activities in the teahouse, such as tea art performances and handicrafts, so that guests can have more experiences."

He Daqing's eyes lit up when he heard this. "What a great idea! Tea art performances can showcase our traditional culture, while handmade products can increase interactivity. We can also launch some special tea products to attract the attention of young people."

In the following days, the father and son began to get busy. They invited a tea artist to perform tea art in the teahouse regularly every week. He Yuzhu also learned some simple handicrafts and taught guests how to make small accessories in the teahouse every weekend.

At the same time, He Daqing and He Yuzhu encountered some difficulties and challenges in the operation of the teahouse. Once, several picky guests came to the teahouse and made some harsh demands on the performance of the tea artist. He Daqing was anxious, but he suppressed his uneasiness and said to the guests with a smile: "Thank you for your valuable suggestions, we will work hard to improve and strive to do better."

That evening, He Daqing and He Yuzhu reviewed the details of the tea art performance together and communicated with the tea artist to improve the content and form of the performance. He Yuzhu also promoted the new activities of the teahouse through the Internet and social media, attracting the attention of many young people. The teahouse's business gradually improved, and guests responded enthusiastically to the new activities and special teas. The efforts of He Daqing and He Yuzhu paid off, and the teahouse regained its vitality.

However, just when they thought everything was going in the right direction, an unexpected person appeared in the courtyard. This person was the White Widow, who was He Daqing's neighbor when he was young and also an unfinished love in his heart.

The appearance of the White Widow made He Daqing feel mixed emotions. With a melancholy smile, she stood in the yard and looked at He Daqing. "Daqing, long time no see, how are you?"

He Daqing was shocked. He didn't expect to see the White Widow at this time. "White Widow, it's you... After so many years, are you okay?"

Widow Bai nodded, tears in her eyes. "I'm fine. I just heard that you opened a teahouse here, so I wanted to come and take a look. I also want to talk to you about the past."

A complex emotion surged in He Daqing's heart. He knew what the White Widow's arrival meant. He and the White Widow chatted for a long time in the yard, recalling the past when they were young. Those beautiful memories made them feel a little warm.

However, there was always a lingering thought in He Daqing's mind. He looked at the White Widow and said slowly, "White Widow, I know you are very good to me, but I can't leave here. This courtyard is my home, and it is where Yu Zhu and I work hard together. I can't just leave these behind."

After hearing this, the White Widow's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she still smiled and nodded. "Daqing, I understand your feelings. This courtyard has a special meaning to you, and I won't force you. As long as you are happy, I will be satisfied."

He Daqing looked at the White Widow with gratitude and made up his mind. He knew that he could not disappoint the White Widow's expectations, nor could he disappoint this courtyard. He would continue to run the teahouse well with He Yuzhu and make this home better.

Late that night, He Daqing sorted out the account book of the teahouse under the lamp, but his thoughts drifted back to the conversation with the White Widow during the day. Although he was determined not to leave the courtyard, the old feelings in his heart still emerged from time to time, making him feel a little complicated. He sighed, closed the account book, looked up at the old clock hanging on the wall, and it was past midnight.

He Daqing suddenly felt hungry and realized that he had been busy all day. He searched for a while and found that there were only some simple ingredients left. He decided to cook a bowl of noodles to fill his stomach.

He Yuzhu just came back from outside and saw his father busy in the kitchen. "Dad, it's so late, haven't you eaten yet? Let me help you."

He Daqing shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, I can do it myself. You are tired today, go and have a rest."
