Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Walking in the bustling market, He Yuzhu carefully selected each piece of kitchenware. He first went to a well-known brand store and asked about the performance and price of several high-end cookware. The owner enthusiastically introduced: "This stainless steel wok has fast heat conduction and good heat preservation, which is most suitable for cooking. And this cast iron frying pan, although a little heavier, has first-class heat preservation and durability, and is the best for frying meat."

He Yuzhu listened carefully and wrote down everything. He thought to himself: the new store needs not only efficient tools, but also durable and easy-to-clean equipment to ensure long-term use and hygiene.

Then, He Yuzhu came to a shop that specialized in selling knives. He picked out several sharp kitchen knives, bone-cutting knives, and peeling knives. The shop owner was an old knife maker. Seeing He Yuzhu carefully selecting, he couldn't help but admire him and said, "Young man, you have a good eye. I sharpened these knives by hand. They will definitely help you to use them in the kitchen."

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your compliment. I just want the chefs to use the best tools to make the most delicious dishes."

He Yuzhu was full of anticipation, thinking that these newly purchased kitchen utensils would definitely take the new store's dishes to a higher level.

After returning to the new store, He Yuzhu immediately organized a kitchenware training session. He personally demonstrated how to use these new tools correctly and patiently answered all the chefs' questions. He knew that only when everyone was familiar with and mastered these tools could they be used to their maximum effectiveness.

"Look everyone, this stainless steel wok has a quick heat conduction. When cooking, you must pay attention to the heat control and not overheat it to avoid burning it." He Yuzhu explained as he demonstrated, his eyes full of concentration and enthusiasm.

Li Xiaoguang observed carefully from the side and couldn't help but admire: "Brother Yuzhu, you are so careful. I didn't notice these details before."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Details determine success or failure. We are in the catering industry, and we cannot ignore any small details. Only by making every dish the best can we satisfy our customers."

After the training session, He Yuzhu led everyone to try out the newly purchased kitchen utensils. Everyone kept adjusting and improving them while busy, and gradually figured out the best way to use them.

One evening, He Yuzhu stood at the kitchen door, observing everyone's busy figures, and a sense of satisfaction surged in his heart. He knew that all the efforts were worth it, as long as the customers were satisfied, all the efforts were meaningful.

Late at night, He Yuzhu sat alone in his office, looking through today's sales and customer feedback. He was filled with a sense of accomplishment when he saw one satisfactory review after another. Although his business was getting busier and busier, he still insisted on personally checking customer feedback every day, making improvements and adjustments in a timely manner. He knew that only by continuous improvement could he remain invincible in the fierce market competition.

One night, Li Xiaoguang walked into the office and handed He Yuzhu a cup of hot tea: "Brother Yuzhu, you are tired all day, have a cup of tea and take a rest."

He Yuzhu took the tea and said with a smile: "Thank you, Xiaoguang. The store has been busy recently, and you have worked hard."

Li Xiaoguang sat down, with a little worry in his tone: "Brother Yuzhu, there are several new restaurants that have opened recently, and they seem to be very popular. Should we think of some new ways to attract customers?"

He Yuzhu nodded, a thoughtful gleam in his eyes: "You are right, Xiaoguang. The market competition is fierce, we can't take it lightly. I need to think carefully about whether there are any new dishes and services that can give customers a refreshing feeling."

In the following days, He Yuzhu began to study new dishes and service models. He consulted a lot of cooking books, visited several senior chefs, and even went to other restaurants to experience and draw inspiration and experience. Some new ideas gradually formed in his mind, ready to be realized one by one at the right time.

One day, He Yuzhu found a recipe for a traditional dish in an old cookbook. This dish had disappeared from the market for many years, but he felt that this dish had a unique flavor and historical heritage and was worth rediscovering. He decided to try making this dish himself and launch it in the new store as a special signature dish.

After countless trials and adjustments, He Yuzhu finally mastered the essence of this dish. He excitedly said to Li Xiaoguang: "Xiaoguang, I finally succeeded in making this dish! We can try it in the new store. I believe customers will like it."

Li Xiaoguang took a bite and his eyes lit up: "Brother Yuzhu, this dish is absolutely amazing! The taste is unique and rich, it will definitely be very popular."

Therefore, He Yuzhu introduced this special dish in the new store, and paired it with exquisite ceramic tableware to create a nostalgic atmosphere. Customers praised it highly, and this dish soon became the signature dish of the new store, attracting more diners to come and taste it.

He Yuzhu looks at the endless stream of customers in the store, and feels a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. He knows that there is still a long way to go, but as long as he continues to work hard and innovate, "Yuzhu Restaurant" will surely get better and better and go further.

As the business continued to expand, He Yuzhu realized that he was not capable enough to manage multiple branches by himself. He decided to find a capable assistant to share some of the daily affairs. After careful consideration, he thought of Liu Lan, his good friend from college.

Liu Lan is a smart and capable woman. After graduating from university, she worked in a large catering company for several years as a manager. She has rich experience and high professionalism. He Yuzhu felt that she was the most suitable candidate. So he called Liu Lan.

"Hello, is this Liu Lan? I'm Yuzhu. Long time no see. How have you been recently?" He Yuzhu said straight to the point.

"Yuzhu? It's been a long time since we last met. I've been doing fine recently. What about you? I heard that you opened several restaurants and your business is booming." There was a hint of surprise in Liu Lan's voice.

"Yes, business has been very busy recently. Actually, I came to you because I want to ask you for help with something. I wonder if you have time?" He Yuzhu said with a hint of anticipation in his heart.

Liu Lan smiled and said, "What is it? Just tell me. As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse."

He Yuzhu then told Liu Lan about the difficulties he was facing and the help he needed, and sincerely invited her to join his team and help manage the hotel.

Liu Lan pondered for a while, then slowly said: "Yu Zhu, you know I have always liked the catering industry, and I have accumulated a lot of experience in the past few years. If you really need my help, I am willing to give it a try."
