Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

Chapter 191 Experienced Carving Master

After lunch, the two sat in the backyard and talked.

He Yuzhu took a sip of tea and asked Xu Huizhen, "Huizhen, do you know what the name of this dim sum shop is going to be?"

"I don't know. You never mentioned it. What name would it be?" Xu Huizhen seemed quite curious and looked at He Yuzhu in confusion.

"It's called the 'Come Back for Delicious Food' dim sum shop." He Yuzhu replied with a smile.

Hearing this novel and simple name, Xu Huizhen couldn't help but laugh.

"Did you come up with this name?" She thought the name was quite intuitive and down-to-earth.

"Not entirely. I discussed this with Boss Liu and directly transformed the concept in my mind into the store logo. What do you think? I think it is very creative and customers can know it at a glance." He Yuzhu is quite proud of this innovative move.

"Indeed, this will help deepen customers' memory and facilitate promotion." Xu Huizhen nodded in agreement, believing that this method is simple and effective and will help increase brand awareness.

In the following days, everything went on as usual: Xu Huizhen went to the tavern to work, while He Yuzhu went to the winery to handle affairs first.

It was not until the afternoon that he arrived at the dim sum shop, which had not yet opened, and found several workers actively working.

"Were you guys sent by Boss Liu to assist in the renovation?" Since they didn't know each other yet, He Yuzhu took the initiative to greet them.

The workers smiled at each other, "That's right, we have to make some necessary improvements to this place according to the boss's instructions." He Yuzhu looked where the other person pointed his finger and noticed some aging and damaged problems connecting different rooms.

"This needs to be repaired promptly and must be completed today," he said in a firm tone.

"Don't worry. Is there anything you need to worry about?" Noticing He Yuzhu's slight anxiety, the worker reported to him the current progress of the project.

At this moment, Xu Huizhen pushed the door open and came in. This was the time she stepped into the store again.

"Yuzhu, is everything okay? Is there anything I can do for you?" She looked around the room, silently calculating in her mind what kind of help she could provide.

"It's okay. We are making good progress." Seeing Xu Huizhen appear, He Yuzhu quickly responded:

"The only thing we lack right now is a plaque. I plan to invite a designer to make one specifically for our store."

"Well, this is good!" Xu Hui really didn't mind too much. After all, the shop belonged to her and she could arrange it as she pleased.

"Then let's start working on it tomorrow."

"can."

After a brief conversation, Seo Hye-jin left the store, planning to go to the market to buy fresh ingredients so that she could prepare a replenishing meal for Yu-ju in the evening.

Not long after Xu Huizhen left, there was a noise outside the door and a man pushed open the door and walked into the store.

"Is this store ready to reopen?" He asked He Yuzhu who was standing beside him as he walked.

He Yuzhu shook his head slightly and answered simply: "It's not a reopening, but a newly opened dim sum shop."

The man seemed to be very interested in this and asked further questions.

At the same time, He Yuzhu's attention was still on the plaque design he had imagined in his mind, and he responded vaguely.

The man asked if he had the opportunity to go inside the store for an inspection, and when he received an affirmative answer he went on his own to look around.

After about ten minutes, he left quietly without commenting.

After the customer left, He Yuzhu was immersed in his own thoughts again and did not notice how late it was. He did not even notice when Xu Huizhen returned after shopping.

Xu Huizhen walked into the store carrying her bag and saw He Yuzhu sitting in a chair in a daze, so she greeted him, "Yuzhu, what are you thinking about? If nothing else, let's go home together."

He Yuzhu raised his eyes when he heard the voice, glanced at Xu Huizhen in front of him, then lowered his head to look at his watch.

"Oh my God, it's already half past six! Let's go first!" He stood up and waved to Xu Huizhen.

He Yuzhu took a rough look at the progress of the workers in the store and found that they were almost finished.

Seeing that it was getting late, he told several workers to finish work and lock the door.

After making the arrangements, the two walked out of the store together and returned to the courtyard where they lived.

In the evening, Xu Huizhen was busy preparing meals in the kitchen, while He Yuzhu sat alone at the dining table and thought about the design of the sign.

Suddenly, a burst of inspiration struck him, and he quickly picked up his pen and started sketching on paper.

In a moment, the pattern took shape.

Just at this moment, Xu Huizhen walked in with dishes, "Huizhen, look, do you think this design is okay?" He showed his creation with great anticipation, hoping to get her evaluation.

She placed the plates in place and began to study the pattern carefully.

"Hey, is this your work?" Xu Huizhen exclaimed, obviously impressed by He Yuzhu's talent.

The bird in the painting is flying in the sky with its bright red wings spread, which brings a visual shock to the audience.

After admiring it for a moment, a happy smile appeared on her face and she began to praise it without further ado.

"Great, very good!" Although the pattern is a bit abstract, the details are realistic and vivid, which is pleasing to the eye.

Hearing Xu Hui's affirmation, He Yuzhu also showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"So are we sure we should use this color tone to make the plaque?" He pointed lightly at the scroll and asked Xu Huizhen's opinion.

"Of course, it's all up to you."

After getting the approval, He Yuzhu said more firmly: "Great! Let's customize it with this color. It will definitely make the store look festive and attract more customers to patronize." Then he thought of another thing: "One more thing, I need to find someone to write some couplets and paste them on both sides as decoration on the opening day of the store.

Huizhen nodded in agreement, thinking it was an excellent suggestion.

She asked: "Do you have any other good ideas?" "Oh, I almost forgot," He Yuzhu patted his head, "Recently I've been practicing a new pastry - egg yolk pastry, and I want you to try it to see how it tastes?" Hearing this, Xu Huizhen was full of curiosity.

I took the egg yolk pastry handed to me by He Yuzhu and listened to his introduction of the ingredients: eggs, lard, butter, peanut butter, etc.

After tasting it, she immediately felt the aroma spreading in her mouth, "It's so delicious and fragrant!" Xu Huizhen praised it highly after taking a small bite.

"I made this myself. If you like it, the rest are all yours. Enjoy it slowly." He Yuzhu generously gave all the snacks to Xu Huizhen, allowing her to savor them carefully.

She closed her eyes slightly, immersed in the wonderful taste, "The snacks made by you must be top-notch!" Xu Huizhen said with emotion while enjoying the food.

"As long as you like it, I will make this delicious dish for you every day in the future." As he said this, He Yuzhu gently stroked Xu Huizhen's hair, his eyes full of tenderness.

"That's great. I've been looking forward to that day!" Hearing Xu Huizhen's response, her face turned red and she was smiling, which made He Yuzhu's heart beat fast.

The two finished their meal happily and ended the day's work by cleaning the table.

The next day, He Yuzhu took his carefully conceived signboard design to see his partner, Boss Liu.

Because they run the business together, they need to get each other's consent for everything.

Although he understood this principle, He Yuzhu still found it a bit cumbersome.

"Brother, look at this," he spread the blueprint in front of Boss Liu and waited for his response, "What on earth is this?"

Boss Liu took the drawing, his eyes stayed on the pattern, and surprise gradually spread across his face.

"This... Could this be..."

He Yuzhu felt something was wrong when he saw Boss Liu's expression.

"Is there any problem?" he couldn't help but ask.

But at this moment, Boss Liu seemed to be immersed in a certain memory. He was still staring at the design drawing in his hand, muttering to himself: "It's so similar... so similar..."

He Yuzhu felt a little embarrassed and gently nudged Boss Liu.

"Brother Liu, what did you see that surprised you?" he asked curiously.

Boss Liu came back to his senses and pointed at the pattern on the design drawing and said, "Look, does this pattern remind you of a certain plant?"

"Huh? That's quite interesting!" After hearing this, He Yuzhu re-examined the design drawing.

Sure enough, the shape in the pattern is quite similar to a green pine tree.

“What is this…?” His doubts came to his mind again and his eyes turned to Boss Liu.

Boss Liu took a deep breath and said slowly, "I still remember that when we went to Nanjiang for a field survey, we discovered a century-old pine tree there."

"At that time, we found a big tree at the foot of the mountain, with lush green vines wrapped around the trunk." "However, due to the long years, the green vines had withered and turned black and gradually fell off."

"We originally planned to transplant some pine branches as a memorial, but these pine branches were too hard and rough, and we were afraid of damaging the pine needles, so we didn't take the risk."

"Looking at your design now, it's almost exactly the same as that old pine." At this point, Boss Liu became even more excited, looking at He Yuzhu with anticipation in his eyes, "Tell me, did your design inspiration come from that old pine?" He Yuzhu shook his head in some surprise.

"No? Then how did you design this pattern?" Boss Liu was a little disappointed, and then asked: "Where did you see this pattern?" "Of course not! I just came up with this last night!"

"It's actually your original work, Yuzhu, you are really talented." Boss Liu praised sincerely.

He was pleasantly surprised that He Yuzhu was able to create works of such high quality.

"It turns out you have a talent for painting. It's really surprising."

He Yuzhu smiled and showed humility.

"Brother Liu, what do you think if we do this?"

"Good idea! I'll send someone to take you there to implement it." Having said that, Boss Liu immediately took action and led He Yuzhu to find an experienced carving master.
