Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world

In the design and decoration of the hotel, he integrated the cultural characteristics of various places to create a hotel environment with regional style.

For example, hotels in southern cities adopt elements of Lingnan architectural style; hotels in western cities incorporate local ethnic cultural characteristics.

He Yuzhu's series of measures achieved great success in the business arena, and in his family life, his marriage with Lou Xiao'e was also very happy.

Ever since He Xiangyang and Sun Xiaolin got married and moved to Hong Kong, Lou Xiao'e's mother Tan Yali has lived with them.

Tan Yali was born and raised in Jingzhou. Many years ago, she was forced to leave Jingzhou and go to Hong Kong.

Now He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e both stay in Jingzhou. The old lady no longer wants to return to Hong Kong and wants to live her free life in Jingzhou.

Tan Yali's life in Jingzhou is full of tranquility and warmth, and is also intertwined with memories of the past and cherishment of the present life.

Every morning, the sunlight shines through the mottled leaves into the courtyard of the quadrangle. Tan Yali always gets up early and stretches her muscles in the yard.

She breathed in the familiar air of Jingzhou, felt the unique atmosphere of this city, and her heart was filled with peace.

The courtyard carries too many memories for her. Every stone slab, every door and window seem to be telling stories from the past.

She often sat in the rocking chair in the yard, quietly recalling her life in Jingzhou many years ago.

At that time, the streets and alleys of Jingzhou were full of human touch. She remembered that when she was a child, she went to the temple fair with her parents, and the lively scene is still vivid in her mind. The temple fair was bustling with people, and the aroma of various snacks filled the air.

Her favorite food was the strings of candied haws. The red haws were wrapped in crystal sugar. When she took a bite, the sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth. It was the most wonderful taste of her childhood.

There were also those traditional handicraft stalls, with exquisite paper-cuts and lifelike dough figurines, which made her linger.

She recalled the days when she played with her friends in the alley, playing hide-and-seek and skipping rubber ropes, with laughter echoing throughout the alley. Life at that time was simple but full of joy.

Later, due to some special reasons, she had to leave Jingzhou and go to Hong Kong.

During her time in Hong Kong, she always missed everything in Jingzhou. The prosperity and busyness there could not fill her longing for her hometown.

Although she lived happily with her husband and children in Hong Kong, Jingzhou was always the softest corner in her heart.

Now, she feels extremely happy to be able to return to Jingzhou and live with her daughter Lou Xiao'e and son-in-law He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e were very filial to her and always put her wishes first in everything.

They knew that Tan Yali had a deep affection for Jingzhou's traditional culture, so they often accompanied her to participate in some traditional cultural activities in their spare time.

Once, they went to a traditional opera performance in Jingzhou together. Tan Yali sat in the audience, staring at the actors on the stage, with an intoxicated look on her face.

The familiar singing and performance made her feel like she was back in her youth. She hummed along softly, tears glistening in her eyes.

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e looked at her and were also moved.

They knew that these traditional cultures were an important part of Tan Yali's life, and they were very happy to let her experience these beautiful things again.

In her daily life, Tan Yali is not idle either. She likes to cook some traditional Jingzhou delicacies by herself.

She would go to the market to pick out fresh ingredients, then come home and get busy in the kitchen.

The fried noodles she made were absolutely amazing. The rich aroma of the sauce and the chewy noodles won He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe'e's praise.

The Tan family dishes she cooked were even more convincing, and even the chef from Heji Hotel often came to ask her for advice.

Whenever the family sits around the dining table, eating the delicious food she cooks and talking about the little things in life, Tan Yali's heart is filled with satisfaction.

She felt that this was the family life she had always longed for, simple and happy.

Tan Yali also established deep friendships with the elderly people nearby.

They often chat and bask in the sun together.

She would share her experiences in Hong Kong with the elderly and listen to them talk about the changes that Jingzhou has experienced over the years.

Sometimes, they would organize some activities together, such as Tai Chi, chess, etc. In these activities, Tan Yali not only exercised her body, but also gained happiness and friendship.

She feels that her later life has become more colorful because of these friends.

As time went by, Tan Yali also witnessed He Yuzhu's great achievements in business.

She watched He Yuzhu continue to expand his business and open hotels all over the country, and her heart was filled with pride.

She knew that He Yuzhu had put in a lot of effort for this family, and his achievements were well deserved.

She often reminded He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e to take care of their health and not just focus on work.

In her opinion, the happiness and health of the family are the most important.

During her time in Jingzhou, Tan Yali also liked to visit some ancient buildings and scenic spots.

She would stroll among the red walls and yellow tiles of the Forbidden City, feeling the weight of history; she would also go to the Summer Palace to appreciate the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains and experience the charm of the royal gardens.

These places made her deeply feel the historical and cultural heritage of Jingzhou.

She would tell He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e the historical stories of these places so that they could better understand Jingzhou's past.

During festivals, the courtyard is filled with a joyful atmosphere. Tan Yali and her family will prepare festive delicacies, such as rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival and moon cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

She will teach Lou Xiao'e how to make the most authentic rice dumplings and how to make delicious mooncake fillings.

The family sat together, cooking delicious food and chatting, and their laughter echoed throughout the yard.

During these special days, Tan Yali felt more deeply the warmth and happiness of family.

Unfortunately, this kind of life only lasted for five years. As she grew older, Tan Yali's health gradually deteriorated.

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe took better care of her, sought medical advice and medicine for her, and arranged a comfortable living environment for her. Although Tan Yali was a little unwell, she remained optimistic.

She knew that life would always come to an end, but the wonderful time she spent in Jingzhou would always remain in her and her family's hearts.

On a warm afternoon, the sun shone in the courtyard of the quadrangle. Tan Yali sat in a rocking chair and slowly closed her eyes.

She had a smile on her face, as if she was recalling those beautiful moments. After He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe found out, they walked gently to her side, held her hand, and couldn't help but shed tears.

They knew that Tan Yali would have no regrets in her life.
