Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

Wang Qiang forced a smile, shook his head and said, "It's okay, maybe it's because I'm a little tired from work recently, or I don't get enough sleep."

He Yuzhu didn't believe his explanation. They had worked together for a long time and could feel each other's changes. He stopped what he was doing, looked at Wang Qiang seriously and said, "Brother Wang, you have to take care of your health. If you feel uncomfortable, you should see a doctor in time, don't delay."

Wang Qiang nodded, feeling a little touched. He Yuzhu was not only his partner, but also his friend. He felt warm and grateful that he cared so much about his health.

However, despite their busy schedule, Wang Qiang's headaches did not ease. During a busy lunch hour, he suddenly felt dizzy and had to sit down to rest. This made him more worried and he realized that the problem might be more serious than he thought.

When Wang Qiang got home in the evening, thinking about He Yuzhu's advice, he decided to go to the hospital for a detailed physical examination tomorrow. Although he didn't want his health problems to affect his work and their restaurant business, he also understood that health is the foundation of his career and cannot be ignored.

The next day, Wang Qiang decisively went to the local hospital. After a series of examinations and tests, the doctor told him some unpleasant news: his headaches might be migraines caused by long-term work pressure and bad living habits. The doctor advised him to pay more attention to rest and diet at work and in life, and take some medicine to relieve the symptoms if necessary.

After listening to the doctor's advice, Wang Qiang felt a little lost and frustrated. He realized that he might have neglected the care and protection of his body in the process of pursuing his career. However, he also made up his mind to adjust his lifestyle, pay more attention to health and rest, and not let the headache problem continue to bother him.

Back at the restaurant, He Yuzhu saw that his expression was a little heavy, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Wang, what did the doctor say? How is your headache?"

Wang Qiang smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, just some minor problems. The doctor said I need to pay attention to rest and diet. I will adjust well."

Although Wang Qiang tried hard to adjust his lifestyle, his physical condition did not improve significantly. For several days, he felt an itchy nose, a sore throat, and an overall sense of fatigue, which made him start to suspect that he might have a cold.

On a cold winter morning, Wang Qiang woke up with a hot forehead and felt unwell. He realized that he might need to rest for a few days to recover. Although he was reluctant to admit this fact, he knew that ignoring the body's signals would only make the problem worse.

He insisted on going to the hospital, where the doctor confirmed that he was indeed infected with the flu virus and advised him to go home to rest, drink plenty of water, and keep warm and nutritious. Wang Qiang accepted the doctor's advice, took the medicine home, and called He Yuzhu to inform him of his condition.

He Yuzhu immediately expressed his concern and understanding after hearing this. He comforted Wang Qiang and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry too much. Have a good rest and take care of yourself. I will take care of our affairs here, don't worry."

Wang Qiang feels sincerely grateful that He Yuzhu has been not only his business partner over the years, but also his friend and pillar. He knows that it is an extremely lucky thing to have such a partner around him, both in business and in life.

During his illness, Wang Qiang reviewed his experiences over the past few years. From the initial construction of the kitchen by the two of them to the current thriving restaurant business, every challenge and gain along the way is deeply engraved in his memory. He realized that every persistence and effort was to realize a common dream, to allow more people to taste their food.

A few days of rest allowed Wang Qiang to gradually regain some strength. Although his nose was still a little uncomfortable, he felt much better overall. While recuperating at home, he kept in touch with He Yuzhu to learn about the restaurant's operations and discuss some future menu innovations.

When Wang Qiang returned to the restaurant, he felt the warmth of home and the busyness of business. Guests came here in an endless stream to taste their carefully prepared dishes and enjoy the unique taste and warm atmosphere.

After Wang Qiang gradually recovered, he began to return to the daily operation of the restaurant. However, although his physical strength was restored, his appetite was not very good. After a busy day, he suddenly remembered the chicken soup he had not had for many days, which always brought him comfort and warmth.

"Brother He, have you made chicken soup recently?" Wang Qiang asked during a break, his voice revealing his desire for that warmth.

He Yuzhu looked back at him, smiled and nodded: "No, I've been too busy these days to make soup. But I can make a pot tomorrow morning to replenish you."

Wang Qiang smiled and was secretly glad for his decision: "Okay, Brother He, I'll be waiting for your chicken soup."

That night, on the way home, Wang Qiang was in a good mood thinking about the chicken soup for tomorrow morning. Although this little expectation made him feel a long-lost comfort and peace of mind, it also made him realize how much he cherished simple and beautiful things.

After returning home, Wang Qiang felt the warmth of home. He prepared some ingredients in his spare time, hoping to share a warm breakfast with He Yuzhu tomorrow morning. He decided to make some snacks that he was good at, and prepared them carefully, looking forward to the arrival of a new day.

The next morning, Wang Qiang arrived at the restaurant early. He Yuzhu had already prepared fresh ingredients, and they started to make chicken soup together. He Yuzhu's skillful technique and his precise control of ingredients filled the entire restaurant with an alluring aroma.

"Brother Wang, look at this chicken. Doesn't it look fresh and juicy?" He Yuzhu smiled and took out a whole chicken to show Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang couldn't help but exclaimed: "Great, Brother He, you are so skilled every time you make soup. This pot of chicken soup looks so appetizing."

He Yuzhu smiled and said while stirring the ingredients in the pot: "In fact, the most important thing about this chicken soup is not the craftsmanship, but the heart. Every dish we make is made with sincerity to our guests and love for food."

Wang Qiang nodded, agreeing deeply. In his opinion, a restaurant is not only a place to make money, but also a platform for them to create delicious food and convey emotions. Every time they cook, they communicate and convey with their hearts.

After a while, a pot of chicken soup was ready.
