Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Huo Yingdong nodded slightly and said in agreement:

"A few days ago, I first embarked on a journey to England, experienced the customs of a foreign country, and then went to Thailand without stopping. It was there that I carefully selected and finally bought a dredging ship named 'Manhattan'."

In fact, before this, Huo Yingdong had mentioned this matter to He Yuzhu. He hoped that He Yuzhu could personally go and help him to purchase the boat.

After all, he highly valued He Yuzhu's extraordinary skills and felt that if He Yuzhu were to accompany him, he would definitely be able to serve as an effective bodyguard.

Unfortunately, the schedule was not right and He Yuzhu was unable to spare the time, so he sent Du Guanghe to take his place.

This "Manhattan" dredger is really big!

It is 280 feet long and has a carrying capacity of 2890 tons.

What’s amazing is that in just 20 minutes, it can quickly dig and obtain up to 2000 tons of mud and sand from the vast ocean.

Although this ship is quite old, it is still worth a lot, about HKD 1200 million! It is no exaggeration to say that the price of such a ship is almost equivalent to that of an industrial building!

Later, the purchased "Manhattan" dredger was transformed into a new name - "Yourong 2", and was officially incorporated into Yourong Shipping Company.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but smile and said:

"Hey, that's a good idea! Now that you have your own shipyard, you can try building a ship yourself."

You know, in the prosperous and bustling Hong Kong area, people inevitably need to deal with ships frequently.

He Yuzhu himself not only had already mastered advanced shipbuilding technology, but also had a dream in his heart, which was to own a shipyard and supporting dock of his own.

At this moment, Huo Yingdong frowned slightly and said that he had no money on hand at the moment, so this matter had to be put on hold for the time being.

He nodded slightly and said:

"That's right. My original intention of buying this sand mining ship was to copy it. But for now, the most urgent task is to close the sand mining business first."

He Yuzhu, who was standing by, heard this and responded:

"How about this, I'll be free in a few days and I can go with you to discuss this matter."

Huo Yingdong was delighted when he heard this and quickly responded:

"That's great! Thank you so much!"

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said nonchalantly:

"Why are you being so polite to me? It's only natural for us to help each other. Besides, didn't you buy a lot of watches in the previous batch?"

Huo Yingdong smiled slightly when he heard this, and then turned the topic back to business.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, He Yuzhu asked Huo Yingdong how to build a ship, and frankly stated that he was interested in getting involved in the shipbuilding industry and was preparing to open a shipyard.

Huo Yingdong was not at all surprised by He Yuzhu's idea. Instead, he generously promised to provide some skilled workers to build the frame structure of the shipyard.

He Yuzhu hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude.

However, Huo Yingdong smiled and joked:

"It's not enough to just say thank you verbally. It seems insincere."

He Yuzhu couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Then in your opinion, what should I do to show my sincerity?"

Huo Yingdong's eyes lit up, and he laughed and replied:

"That's easy. You will be the one to cook for us tonight."

"sure no problem."

After enjoying a relaxing afternoon tea, everyone said goodbye to each other and went home.

He Yuzhu returned home with great joy and decided to cook a sumptuous meal himself to entertain several good friends.

Since He Yuzhu mastered the new skills, he immediately issued orders, requiring his subordinates to carry out continuous procurement operations.

At the same time, the Tuen Mun warehouse also underwent a large-scale renovation project.

Now, in addition to the original internal gate, a spacious yard has been enclosed on the side of the warehouse, and a new external gate has been opened.

This crucial door is firmly controlled by He Yuzhu, and there is also a van specially equipped for his use.

In this way, He Yuzhu can cleverly use this truck as a cover to transport various items into his mysterious space without anyone noticing, or take out the required items from the space and deliver them safely to the warehouse.

This time, He Yuzhu purchased a large amount of raw materials necessary for manufacturing vacuum tube radios in one go.

Relying on his superb skills and high work efficiency, he successfully produced a large number of high-quality parts in just one afternoon.

It was not until night fell and after the normal working hours that He Yuzhu finished his work with satisfaction and returned to his rented house, dragging his slightly tired body.

As soon as he entered the house, he didn't even take a break, but immediately started looking for some fresh ingredients.

Then, without hesitation, he threw the bag of salt he had bought earlier into the trash can.

After completing these preparations, He Yuzhu walked out of the room quietly, came to the door next door, raised his hand and knocked on the familiar door.

The door slowly opened, and Ruan Tao's charming face appeared before him. He Yuzhu smiled politely and asked:

"Hello! I'm so sorry to bother you. The salt I just bought was accidentally destroyed by cockroaches. I really have no choice. Could you lend me some salt?"

After hearing this, Ruan Tao was slightly stunned, and then answered readily:

"So that's how it is. No problem, please wait a moment, I'll get it for you." After saying that, she turned around and walked lightly into the kitchen.

After a while, Ruan Tao came out with a small package carefully wrapped in paper in her hand.

She handed the paper bag to He Yuzhu and said softly:

"Here is some salt, which should be enough for you."

Then, as if she suddenly thought of something, she asked curiously:

"Can you cook for yourself?"

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, responding confidently:

"Of course not. I'm a pretty good cook, so I like to make something delicious from time to time."

At this time, Ruan Mi, who had been in the room, vaguely heard the conversation outside. When she heard her sister Ruan Tao say that the food she cooked was unpalatable, she couldn't help but yelled:

"A Tao, you are such a heartless person, how dare you say behind my back that the food I cook is bad? If you can, don't eat the food I cook in the future!"

Ruan Tao didn't expect that the bad things she said behind her sister's back would be discovered so quickly. She felt a little embarrassed and had to lower her head. Like a child who had done something wrong, she muttered softly:

"It tastes terrible when it's cooked..."

Seeing this, He Yuzhu quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Hey, stop arguing. Everyone has their own strengths. By the way, when I finish making tonight's dinner, I'll send some to you two sisters to try, so you can see how good my cooking skills are."

When Ruan Tao heard this, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face, and she happily responded:

"Okay, okay, thank you so much! We will definitely treat you to a sumptuous midnight snack as a reward later!"

He Yuzhu waved his hand casually, then turned around and walked back to his own room at a leisurely pace.

He gently pushed open the door that was originally tightly closed, and then slowly opened it again, without closing it as usual.

After all, this is the top floor and few people come here on weekdays, so there seems to be no need to close the door.

At the same time, the kitchen was already filled with the crisp sounds of spatulas and iron pots colliding with each other. Then, a rich and tempting aroma quickly spread, and through the cracks in the door and windows, it continuously drifted out of the house.

The fragrance was like an invisible hand, gently guiding people's olfactory nerves and drifting all the way to the house where the Peach sisters were.

Ruan Tao, who was sitting on the sofa, was the first to catch the faint scent. She subconsciously twitched her small and delicate nose, took a few deep breaths, and a smile of surprise instantly blossomed on her face:

"Wow, it smells so good! I didn't expect that Mr. He wasn't just bragging. It seems that he really has some cooking skills."

Ruan Mi, who was standing by, couldn't help but nod in agreement after hearing what her sister said: "Well, this smell is quite good."

At this moment, Ruan Tao suddenly jumped down from the soft and comfortable sofa, put on the cute little shoes swiftly, and then hopped towards the door like a happy little rabbit.

Seeing this, Ruan Mi quickly asked, "Hey, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Ruan Tao replied without even turning her head: "I'm going to check out Mr. He's house next door."

Ruan Mi hurriedly shouted: "Don't go!"

Hearing her sister's disapproval, Ruan Tao couldn't help but stop, turned around and asked with a puzzled and slightly dissatisfied look on her face: "Why?"

Ruan Mi explained seriously, "They haven't even come to invite you yet, how can you be so rash as to take the initiative to go to their house?"

However, Ruan Tao curled her lips and said disapprovingly: "Mr. He just said that he would invite us to taste the food he cooked."

Ruan Mi shook her head helplessly and said, "Maybe they just said that out of politeness. Don't be so stupid as to take it seriously and go to their door to beg for food."

Ruan Tao was very stubborn. She put her hands on her hips, stamped her feet, and loudly retorted:

"I'm going! I've already made an appointment with Mr. He to treat him to a midnight snack later!"

After saying that, she no longer paid attention to her sister's dissuasion, opened the door, and ran happily towards He Yuzhu's room next door.

After Ruan Tao finished speaking softly, she reached out and gently turned the doorknob, slowly opening the slightly old but still sturdy entrance door.

In an instant, a fragrance so rich that it seemed to overwhelm people surged in like a tide, instantly filling every inch of the room.

It was the wonderful smell of various foods mixed together, mellow and tempting, making people salivate just by smelling it.

Ruan Tao couldn't help but take a deep breath, her face full of intoxication, and she couldn't help but murmur:

"Wow, it smells so good!" Before she finished speaking, she had already walked towards the unit next door.

As soon as I entered the door, what caught my eye were two huge bags placed in the middle of the living room. They were bulging and seemed to be filled with some treasures.

On the coffee table next to it, there lies a simple-style radio. Although the knobs and buttons on it are slightly worn, they still reveal a unique sense of age.

At this time, the small door of the kitchen was wide open, and through the doorway one could clearly see He Yuzhu busying around.

He was wearing an apron as white as snow and skillfully fiddling with the spatula and spoon in his hands. From time to time, crackling sounds and bursts of mouth-watering aroma could be heard from the pot.

Seeing this, Ruan Tao immediately broke into a bright smile and said:

"Mr. He, your cooking skills are truly amazing. I can't sit still even at home because of the aroma!"

It turns out that He Yuzhu deliberately left the door open because he hoped that the tempting aroma produced by his own cooking would drift away with the wind, thus attracting the attention of the surrounding neighbors.

Unexpectedly, this little trick was so effective. The first person to take the bait was the beautiful Miss Ruan Tao.

Hearing the praise, He Yuzhu couldn't help but smile. While continuing to stir-fry the dishes in the pot, he responded:

"Haha, you came at the right time. I'm almost done here!"

Hearing this, Ruan Tao walked briskly to the kitchen door and asked enthusiastically:

"Do you need me to lend a hand?"

However, He Yuzhu waved his hand without even turning his head, and answered confidently:

"No, no, there's only one dish left. It will all be ready in a few minutes!"

Seeing this, Ruan Tao no longer insisted, but stopped obediently, stood quietly at the kitchen door, watching He Yuzhu's smooth cooking movements with interest.

Then he was surprised. Just by smelling the aroma of the food, he felt that He Yuzhu was already very powerful.

After all, in Hong Kong, cooking is done by women. Apart from professional chefs, few men would cook.

Now watching He Yuzhu cutting vegetables with his own hands, his smooth and flowing movements are really pleasing to the eye.

Pots, pans, and other tools in He Yuzhu's hands are like extensions of his limbs, and all his movements are so coordinated and natural.

"Mr. He, didn't you say you were a sailor? How come you look better than a chef?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I'm a cook on the ship!"

Ruan Tao suddenly realized: "So Mr. He is a cook, no wonder the food he cooks is so delicious."

As the two chatted, He Yuzhu quickly prepared the meal, and then the two of them brought four dishes and a soup to the table.

He Yuzhu said, "Could you please call your sister over so the three of us can eat together?"

"Okay, I'll go call her."

Ruan Tao returned home and pulled her sister and said, "Let's go?"

"How could you not refuse? Invite us to dinner for no reason?"

"Mr. He saved you last time, we are all friends!"
