Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world

When Shen Jihuan saw He Yuzhu's reminder, he explained the situation.

Wow! I thought the beauty was interested in me, but I didn't expect that she was soliciting business for an acquaintance. It's just that I bought too much the day before yesterday, so I only bought some kitchen utensils today.

How will I feel comfortable when Shen Jihuan mobilizes so many troops?

That’s all! Since we’re here, let’s just follow her and take a look!

Later, buy what you need, and I won’t buy what you don’t need even if you tell me to.

I don't care if it's embarrassing or not, after all, I haven't exchanged my gold bars for money yet? I'm short of money now!

Thinking this, He Yuzhu followed Shen Jihuan and walked forward.

When crossing Wangfujing Street, He Yuzhu discovered that only a few shops on both sides of the street were open, and the rest were all closed. This shows how severe the economy of the old city was in the early 50s.

But who could have imagined that decades later, this place would become the most prosperous commercial street.

After walking about two hundred meters, Shen Jihuan said, "Brother Zhuzi, we're here!..."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu parked his bicycle aside and followed Shen Jihuan in.

"Zhang's Kitchen Supplies Store" When He Yuzhu entered the store, he looked up at the plaque above the store.

This is indeed a boutique kitchenware store. When the two entered, there were several customers dressed in fashionable clothes selecting knives...

There are not many items in the store, but they are neatly arranged. The counter is filled with various bowls, chopsticks, plates, pots, pans, various sauces, spices, candies, seasonings, and even peanuts. There are even several new types of cupboards.

Does He Yuzhu really need to buy a cupboard and put it in the kitchen?

"Jihuan, why are you here today? Didn't you go to school?" A middle-aged woman in a floral top stopped what she was doing and greeted Shen Jihuan when she saw him walk in.

"Auntie, there are no classes at school today. Didn't you say that if anyone wants to buy kitchen supplies, you should ask me to bring them to your store? Today I brought He Yuzhu, the chef of Fengzeyuan, to your house..." Shen Jihuan happily took over the conversation.

When the middle-aged woman saw Shen Jihuan introducing He Yuzhu, she stared at him for a while.

"Oh! This is the He Yuzhu you mentioned. The young man has a wealthy look on his face and it is obvious that he is not an ordinary person.

As for cooking skills, even your uncle Zhang is full of praise for his cooking skills.

Ji Huan, your father has good taste! ..."

The middle-aged woman's words left He Yuzhu confused.

Could it be that Boss Shen really considered himself his son-in-law? Damn it! How old is Shen Jihuan? In the future, he is at most a junior high school student.

He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu, you are seducing underage girls.

Damn, I'm actually a little tempted.

"Aunt Liu, please stop making fun of me. Brother Zhuzi might feel embarrassed." Shen Jihuan said with a blushing face.

What was going on? Shen Jihuan didn't even refute her.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu knew that if the boss lady continued to talk nonsense, he would not be able to buy the kitchen supplies today, so he said,

"Aunt Liu, Ji Huan said your kitchenware is good and affordable. Can someone introduce it to me..."

"Okay, okay, it seems that Zhuzi is also short of face, so I won't laugh at you. Ji Huan is a regular customer here, you two can go and have a look first, and then come to me for a quote. I will make sure to give you the lowest price..."

"Okay, Aunt Liu, let's go take a look first..."

Shen Jihuan responded, then turned to He Yuzhu and said, "Brother Zhuzi, what exactly do you want to buy? I'll help you introduce it..."

He Yuzhu nodded.

"Jihuan, I need a cupboard, a rice jar, a spatula, a vegetable bowl, a rice bowl, chopsticks, a cutting board, a kitchen knife, and a coal stove in my kitchen...

Anyway, I want to throw away all those old tableware and replace them with new ones..."

Shen Jihuan was a little surprised when he heard what He Yuzhu said. You know, in this era, most people are reluctant to replace things that are not broken, and He Yuzhu's way of replacing is more generous than those old capitalists like him.

So he quickly persuaded He Yuzhu, "Brother Zhuzi, use whatever you can! I know your father left you some money, but you can't spend it so casually. You still have Yushui to support you."

What a good daughter-in-law! He Yuzhu admired Shen Jihuan when he heard her words.

Girls from the 50s were really honest!

In later generations, when girls go on a blind date, they will either ask you how much you earn or whether you have a house or a car.

He Yuzhu felt annoyed when he heard this, and because of this reason, he remained single until he was in his 30s and had never started a family.

Now that she saw a rich lady like Shen Jihuan, she did not look down on him, an ugly and poor man whose mother had died, whose father had run away, and who had a little sister who was a burden. It showed that she was a really good person.

"Ji Huan, don't worry. I know my own situation well. The money my father left me is enough for me to spend for a while! But I have other ways to make money..."

He Yuzhu said to Shen Jihuan with a smile.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Shen Jihuan stopped talking.

He and He Yuzhu walked around the store.

He Yuzhu took a fancy to a wooden cupboard with a pair of dragons and phoenixes carved on the door. The dragons and phoenixes were so fine that they looked like the real thing.

As soon as He Yuzhu saw the cabinet, he knew that it was definitely not an ordinary cabinet and it would be worthwhile for him to buy it.

In addition to the cabinet, He Yuzhu also picked a good honeycomb coal stove, as well as iron pots, iron shovels, wooden spoons, colanders, iron scoops, wooden barrels, cast iron pots, gourd ladles, clay basins, clay jars, kitchen knives, chopping boards, and other utensils, but he could not find the white porcelain bowls used in later generations.

He Yuzhu then remembered that this kind of bowl did not seem to exist in the early 50s, but only in a later period.

There was no other choice, He Yuzhu had to add a few small ceramic bowls like the ones from Fengzeyuan to replace the porcelain rice bowls.

After I made my choice, I thought about it carefully and forgot that I didn’t choose chopsticks.

Shen Jihuan laughed when he saw He Yuzhu looking around after selecting the kitchen utensils, "Brother Zhuzi, are you looking for chopsticks?"

Yes! How did you know? Since we are selling kitchenware, we must also sell chopsticks! He Yuzhu was a little embarrassed, "Um... Jihuan, you are right, where are the chopsticks?"

When Shen Jihuan heard this, he smiled and said, "Brother Zhuzi, chopsticks are given away when you buy kitchenware. Where are the chopsticks at the counter where Aunt Liu collects the money?"

He Yuzhu was a little surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect that this kind of sales method existed in the 50s.

Shen Jihuan couldn't help laughing when looking at He Yuzhu's silly and dazed look.

"Let's go! Brother Zhuzi, let's go over and pay the bill..." Shen Jihuan tugged at He Yuzhu's collar and walked towards the cashier's counter.

When they arrived at the cashier counter, Shen Jihuan wrote a list of the items selected by He Yuzhu and handed it to Aunt Liu.
