Siheyuan: Selling antiques? Only making 28,000 RMB from 30,000 RMB

Yan Bugui turned around and looked at Zhou Dong, then said with a smile: "Zhou Dong, you are such a great fisherman! You can always catch a lot of fish."

Zhou Dong smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Brother Yan, for the compliment. In fact, the most important thing about fishing is patience and skills. As long as you master the correct method, you can easily catch a lot of fish."

Yan Bugui's eyes flashed with admiration after hearing this. He knew Zhou Dong was right. Although he was also an experienced fisherman, he was still far behind Zhou Dong. He decided to learn from Zhou Dong and improve his fishing skills.

At this moment, a fish suddenly took the bait. Zhou Dong put away the fishing rod and said with a smile: "Here it comes, this fish is really a big one!"

Yan Bugui also laughed, and he ran over impatiently to help put the fish into the basket. He smiled and said, "This fish is a big one, I think it can be stewed into a pot of delicious fish soup!"

Zhou Dong listened and suddenly came up with an idea. He smiled and said to Yan Bugui, "Oh, Brother Yan, how about we take all the fish we caught back home, stew a pot of fish soup, and then make ramen?"

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately agreed: "This is a great idea! We can use these fresh fish to make fish soup ramen, which will definitely be fragrant and delicious!"

The two hit it off and decided to put this idea into action. They cleaned up the fish they caught, put them in a basket, and then returned to the ramen restaurant together.

Back at the ramen restaurant, Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui started cooking. Zhou Dong was in charge of processing the fish, while Yan Bugui was busy preparing other ingredients and seasonings. They worked in perfect harmony and carried out each step in an orderly manner.

The whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of fish soup, which made people salivate. Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui tasted the fish soup from time to time to make sure every detail was perfect.

Finally, a pot of delicious fish soup ramen was ready. Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui put the ramen in a bowl, poured hot fish soup on it, and sprinkled some green vegetables and coriander on it. The whole dish looked delicious and mouth-watering.

Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui walked to the front desk of the store with fish soup ramen. They placed the dishes on the counter and said to the guests with a smile: "Dear guests, we have specially prepared a new dish today - fish soup ramen. It is guaranteed to be delicious. Welcome to try it!"

Qin Huairu was the first to speak: "Zhou Dong, what's this new thing? Why does it automatically play the news?"

Zhou Dong looked up at her and smiled proudly: "This is a device I invented myself. It can receive broadcast signals from far away and broadcast the news. In this way, we can hear the latest news at home and no longer have to queue up to buy newspapers."

Yan Bugui frowned and glanced at the equipment, then looked at Zhou Dong: "Boy, when did you learn how to do these things? This is an incredible skill!"

Zhou Dong shrugged his shoulders and acted nonchalant: "I liked tinkering with these things when I was a kid, and I didn't expect that I could achieve something."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and stroked his beard: "Zhou Dong, this thing is really a good thing. It makes it convenient for us old guys to listen to the news. We don't have to run out to buy newspapers every day."

Liu Haizhong couldn't help but interrupt: "Yes, yes, this way, we can all know the situation outside."

Zhou Dong smiled and nodded: "Yes, this equipment is designed for your convenience. Otherwise, everyone come to my place every morning and evening to listen to the news, and I will show you the latest news."

Jia Dongxu squeezed out of the crowd and said with disdain: "This broken thing is not even as good as the radio at home."

Zhou Dong smiled coldly: "Can your radio select channels by itself? Can it pause and play at any time?"

Jia Dongxu was speechless for a moment and glared at Zhou Dong angrily: "Just wait, one day I will be able to make a better device than yours."

Zhou Dong ignored him and turned to other neighbors, smiling and saying, "If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to answer them."

The deaf old lady walked to the front with a cane, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes: "Zhou Dong, you are really promising, and you can do something practical for everyone. If you need any help in the future, just tell me."

Zhou Dong nodded and thanked her: "Thank you, deaf old lady. I will remember your words."

At this time, Qin Huairu approached Zhou Dong gently and smiled very sweetly: "Zhou Dong, your equipment is really a treasure. How about I come to your house every night and we listen to the news together?"

Zhou Dong was stunned for a moment, looking at the twinkling light in Qin Huairu's eyes, his heart moved, but he quickly regained his composure: "That's no problem, you can come anytime you want."

Qin Huairu smiled even more brightly: "Then it's settled. By the way, Zhou Dong, what other functions does your device have?"

Zhou Dong blinked his eyes and said mysteriously: "This is just the beginning. I plan to add some new functions in the future, such as timed power on and off, voice control, etc."

Qin Huairu opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Really? Zhou Dong, you are such a genius!"

Zhou Dong laughed and waved his hand: "These are all trivial matters. The main thing is to see if everyone needs it."

While everyone was discussing enthusiastically, brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also came over. Liu Guangtian patted Zhou Dong on the shoulder and said, "Zhou Dong, your equipment is really amazing. We two brothers also want to make one. I wonder if you can teach us?"

Zhou Dong nodded: "Of course, as long as you are willing to learn, I can teach you anytime."

Liu Guangfu rubbed his hands excitedly: "Great, Zhou Dong, when will you start teaching us?"

Zhou Dong thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it tomorrow morning in this yard. I'll explain the principle and production method to you."

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu nodded repeatedly, their faces full of anticipation.

At this time, Jia Zhang suddenly appeared and said in a sharp voice: "Zhou Dong, this thing of yours won't be dangerous, right? What if it explodes?"

Zhou Dong sneered: "Jia Zhang, you think too much. This equipment has been strictly tested and is absolutely safe. There will be no danger."

Jia Zhang snorted in dissatisfaction: "That's hard to say. I don't want anything to happen in our yard."

Zhou Dong ignored her and turned to other neighbors, saying, "Don't worry, this device is absolutely safe. You can come to my place anytime to listen to the news, and we will be more informed."

Neighbors nodded in praise, and Zhou Dong felt satisfied. He knew that his invention not only brought him a sense of accomplishment, but also brought convenience and happiness to his neighbors.

As night fell, the noise in the yard gradually subsided. Zhou Dong packed up his equipment and prepared to go back to the house to rest. However, Qin Huairu did not leave, but stood at the door, looking at Zhou Dong with a hint of hesitation on her face.

Zhou Dong stopped and asked with a smile: "Sister Qin, is there anything else?"

Qin Huairu stepped forward and said softly, "Zhou Dong, I actually have something else I want to talk to you about."

Zhou Dong nodded: "Okay, come in and sit down."

Qin Huairu followed Zhou Dong into the house, sat on a chair, and looked around: "Zhou Dong, your house is really well decorated, very tidy."

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Nothing special, I just like to tidy up."

Qin Huairu looked at Zhou Dong with a strange light in her eyes: "Zhou Dong, you know what? Your equipment really shocked me. I think you are a talented person and you will definitely achieve greater success in the future."

Zhou Dong shook his head modestly: "Sister Qin, you flatter me. I just made some small inventions, and I can't say I have achieved anything."

Qin Huairu smiled slightly: "Zhou Dong, you are too modest. However, I really hope to communicate with you more in the future and learn from your experience."

Zhou Dong nodded: "Of course, Sister Qin, if you have any questions, you can come to me and I will do my best to help."

Qin Huairu suddenly approached Zhou Dong, her eyes softened: "Zhou Dong, I actually have another request, I wonder if you can agree to it."

Zhou Dong was slightly stunned: "What request?"

Qin Huairu whispered, "My family's conditions are not very good. Can...can I stay at your place for a few days occasionally? I promise I won't disturb you, but...sometimes I just want to change the environment and relax."

Zhou Dong frowned, feeling a little hesitant, but looking at Qin Huairu's earnest eyes, he finally nodded: "Okay, Sister Qin, you can come over whenever you want."

Qin Huairu showed a grateful smile on her face: "Thank you, Zhou Dong, you are such a good person."

Zhou Dong smiled slightly: "You're welcome, we're all neighbors, it's only natural."

In the following days, Zhou Dong's yard was bustling with activity. Neighbors came every day to watch his equipment and listen to the latest news. Qin Huairu also came from time to time to help Zhou Dong with some housework and chat with him to relieve his boredom. Zhou Dong's life became more fulfilling and busier.

However, the good times did not last long, and Zhou Dong's invention soon aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of some people. Jia Dongxu was always worried about Zhou Dong's equipment, and secretly began to inquire about Zhou Dong's production method, wanting to imitate it.

One night, Zhou Dong was debugging equipment in the house when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the yard. He put down his tools and went out to see Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu arguing fiercely.

"Jia Dongxu, what are you doing? Disturbing others late at night!" Zhou Dong asked with a frown.

Jia Dongxu pointed at Qin Huairu and said angrily: "She stole my radio and said she would give it to you!"

Qin Huairu's face was pale, with grievance in her eyes: "Zhou Dong, you have to believe me, I didn't take his things at all."

Zhou Dong looked at Jia Dongxu, then at Qin Huairu, and said coldly: "Jia Dongxu, do you have any evidence for what you said? Don't accuse people casually."
