"Okay, let's be formal and sign a loan contract!" He Yuzhu did not pay the money directly, but insisted on following the formal procedures.

Nan Yi did not complain and thought this was right, so the two of them drafted a contract and specified the repayment date, but He Yuzhu did not ask for interest.

Chen Xueru prepared quickly. He Yuzhu did not participate. He simply instructed the process and let her go to ** negotiate on her own.

...

"Uncle He, look, this is my new treasure.

"Han Chunming often came to the He family and would bring some antiques, which He Yuzhu would accept. These were all very precious, and it was obvious that Han Chunming had a unique vision.

He knew that He Yuzhu usually only collected valuable items, while Han Chunming's income and collection were growing steadily.

However, Han Chunming has never seen He Yuzhu's collection: "Uncle He, I want to open a museum in the future. Do you think it's feasible?"

He Yuzhu examined the porcelain in his hand and said, "Why not?"

"Nowadays, private enterprises are flourishing everywhere, so what's wrong with private museums?" He Yuzhu continued, "I also plan to open one in the future. After all, I have too many collections to fit in my home, and in order to properly preserve and maintain them, it is necessary to build a museum.

“Hire professionals to carry out maintenance and protection. Of course, anti-theft is also a key consideration and security measures must be in place.

“But this requires a lot of capital investment, so now is not the right time.

"Hey, you have a point, more thorough than I thought.

"Han Chunming smiled and said, "Uncle He, I want to open four more restaurants in the future."

"Open it!" He Yuzhu's attention was still focused on the porcelain, "But why do you want to open four restaurants?"

"This is Master's wish!" Han Chunming did not say much. After all, this matter was about the story of four small bowls, and he was worried that He Yuzhu wanted to know the details.

"Okay, Beijing is so big, and there will be more and more people. A few more restaurants won't take away my business.

"He Yuzhu glanced at Han Chunming and said, "Okay, I'll take it. Name your price!"

"No problem..." Han Chunming was very happy and quoted the price directly. He Yuzhu did not bargain. After paying the cash, Han Chunming asked, "Uncle He, when can I visit your collection?"

"My collection?" He Yuzhu said with a smile, "You can see it now, but that's only part of it. If you want to see all of it, you have to wait until I open a museum. There are too many things to store at home.

"Oh, how much is that?" Han Chunming was stunned. He thought that his master and Hou Polan's collections were already quite a lot, but he didn't expect that He Yuzhu's collections were so large.

Although Han Chunming had no idea about the exact number, the fact that there was no room for it at home was enough to surprise him.

"Do you still want to watch it now?" He Yuzhu asked.

Han Chunming hesitated for a moment and replied, "Not for now, I'll just wait for the day you open the museum.

"Okay, I guess it won't take long.

“The He Yuzhu is temporarily closed, mainly due to issues with surveillance equipment. After all, museums cannot defend themselves, but anti-theft requires surveillance, and security is not a foolproof solution.

"Zhu Zi, our company recently opened three more branches in the south. I plan to expand the business there. What do you think?" Lou Xiao'e devoted herself to the development of the Sichuan hotpot chain store. For each store, land was purchased first and then built according to uniform standards.

All branches have the same specifications, which has enabled Sichuan hotpot to gain a foothold in Beijing and Tianjin and become widely popular, while also boosting the sales of base sauces and dipping sauces.

The most popular product of Master He's food brand is instant noodles. The sales of base sauces and dipping sauces are not high because most people prefer to mix them at home, which is economical and has a variety of flavors. After all, they are used to this method.

He Yuzhu does not expect large-scale sales of base sauces and dipping sauces. The instant noodle production line has been expanded, but there is still a shortage of supply.

After reviewing the recent financial reports and store manager training, he said, "If we go to the south, how will we solve the dialect problem for the store managers?"

“So we have to go there as soon as possible, because it’s developing rapidly and we have to seize the market.

Lou Xiaoe explained: “I can lead the team to serve as branch managers and be responsible for overall coordination, while store managers will be selected and trained locally.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you then!" He Yuzhu nodded and said, "There are people in charge in Beijing and Tianjin now, so feel free to come to me if you have any questions.

"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow.

"Lou Xiao'e is decisive and her experience in Hong Kong Island over the years has brought her a lot of benefits. He Yuzhu has great trust in the partner she chose.

"Wait, how about opening a branch store in Hong Kong Island when you go there this time?" He Yuzhu suddenly had a new idea, "The housing prices and land prices in Hong Kong Island are relatively cheap now, which is just right for purchasing land and building a store.

“Hmm…that’s a good idea.

Lou Xiaoe hesitated for a moment, "But what about the tastes of Hong Kong Islanders?"

“It’s okay, there are so many people in Hong Kong Island, there are always people who like spicy food.

Besides, we also have light soup base, don’t we?” He Yuzhu is very confident in his product, “Don’t Hong Kong Islanders also like hot pot? They may like the soup base.

Anyway, I won’t lose money, and I can also take this opportunity to buy some land!"

"Okay, let's decide this.

"Lou Xiao'e returned to her room to pack her luggage. She had lived in He Yuzhu's home in Beijing for a while, but she had always wanted to buy a courtyard house.

I recently asked Xu Huizhen for help, and this alley was my target.

After all, she has two sons who will live in Beijing in the future, so it would be perfect for them to live here. So she decided to buy it directly.

After Lou Xiao'e left, He Yuzhu continued to pay attention to his food factory. He once again examined a hot sauce that had received many negative reviews and had a similar taste to Lao Gan Ma.

He believes that the key to food and condiments lies in price and taste, and the poor sales of hot pot base and dipping sauces are mainly due to the limitations of the times.

His goal is not to sell directly, but to seize market share. Now is the time to enrich the variety of goods.

He insisted on adding fried peanuts, which is the key to improving the taste. The aroma fills your mouth with fragrance as soon as you take a bite.

Using the space for research saves He Yuzhu a lot of costs, as he needs to do detailed research on what ingredients to add and what processing steps to follow.

However, his research state seemed somewhat leisurely. He lay on a lounge chair in the yard, sipping tea and tasting dried fruits, as if he had nothing to do.

"Oh, why are you sitting around doing nothing all day?" Wen Li couldn't stand it anymore and asked He Yuzhu when she got home from get off work.

He Yuzhu looked up and saw Wen Li wearing a professional suit, high heels, with long hair draped over her shoulders, looking very charming.

He couldn't help but whispered, "I'm thinking about the formula!"

Wenli thought it was funny. She thought her husband was so devoted only because he was greedy, but it was indeed too exhausting.

"Haha, do you really think this will solve the problem?" Wen Li asked, "Don't you need to try it yourself?"

"Have you ever seen me try anything casually?" He Yuzhu said proudly, "I know all the seasonings and ingredients very well. I just need to match them in my mind. When the time comes, I will definitely let you try them first. This time it's chili sauce.

“Well, I’ll wait and see.

" After saying that, Wen Li went straight into the house to change clothes. He Yuzhu wanted to follow, but was worried that it was too much. Twice a week is most appropriate. After all, she is not young and needs maintenance.

He looked at the tea, wondering if he should add some wolfberries, and it would be best to consult an old Chinese doctor.

Suddenly, he remembered the medicinal herbs planted in the space. Their growth rate was amazing. He could plant some older medicinal herbs and combine them with nourishing medicated food, which would definitely benefit the body.

This is a big deal. Although his wife Wenli is nearly 50 years old, some professional women age more slowly. Jobs like nursing and teaching may seem exhausting, but they don't seem to age easily.

Wen Li was already very beautiful, and now with her careful dressing and self-care, she is even more radiant.

He Yuzhu must pay close attention to his wife, especially her dietary needs.

The next day, He Yuzhu went straight to find an old Chinese doctor on the street. After all, he had lived there for many years and knew the situation there well.

He stated his problem without any shyness. The old Chinese doctor did not laugh at him, but said: "Boss He, your physical condition is not bad. You have taken good care of yourself before!"

“I am a chef, after all.

"He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I plan to learn some dietary recipes from you, such as making wolfberry tea. I also have some experience in medicinal food, and I would like to ask for your guidance."

"No problem!" The old Chinese doctor was very professional. After the two discussed it together, He Yuzhu left with satisfaction.

He discussed with the old Chinese doctor and prepared the herbs himself, while the old Chinese doctor helped him process and adjust the dosage.

At the same time, He Yuzhu started growing medicinal herbs while studying the recipe of chili sauce.

Medicinal herbs are different from ordinary food ingredients. They can continue to grow and will not wither due to long-term planting.

As he was not familiar with medicinal herbs, He Yuzhu decided to plant the same herb at different time periods, and then select samples for identification by an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner.

The old Chinese doctor praised He Yuzhu's approach. After all, the longest planting period is equivalent to fifty years.

He Yuzhu did not over-plant. He only planted for ten minutes a day for five consecutive days. In the end, he selected the best one, which was fifty years old.

He Yuzhu was pleasantly surprised by this, because he was in good physical condition and did not need to take the medicine for a long time, he just wanted to enhance certain abilities.

After handing the herbs to the old Chinese doctor, he took them back a week later and used them according to the doctor's instructions.

However, the concealment of these medicinal materials is a problem. They are fine for daily tea making, but they are difficult to conceal in medicinal foods.

Every night at dinner, He Wenjia would stare at the soup bowl in front of He Yuzhu and ask, "Dad, how come you eat all by yourself?" He Yuzhu glared at her. Wenli would not ask, but she was a high school student after all, and did not understand it.

Wen Li chuckled aside.

He Yuzhu explained: "This is my medicinal food, specially prepared, you can't drink it.

"He Wenjia was surprised to hear this and asked: "Dad, are you sick? How come I didn't know?" He Yuzhu replied: "I'm not sick, I'm just taking care of my body. After all, I'm almost fifty years old. If I don't take care of myself, I'll feel uncomfortable when I get old.

This is a prescription prescribed by an old Chinese doctor. It is for men. You must not try it, otherwise you will grow a beard.

"It's a lie!" He Wenjia curled his lips in disbelief.

He Yuzhu had no choice but to say, "Okay, let's eat!" to end the topic.

The effect of the medicinal diet is remarkable, especially since He Yuzhu uses medicinal materials grown in space, the effect is excellent.

A few days later, he felt warmth inside. Wen Li passed by him on her way home from get off work. He smelled the familiar fragrance on Wen Li, which seemed particularly strong today.

He Yuzhu stood up and followed Wen Li into the house.

"Aren't you going to lie down?" Wen Li turned around and asked when she heard the voice.

He Yuzhu responded: "Come and lie down together!" As he said that, he picked up his wife and walked into the bedroom.

"No, what are you busy doing in broad daylight?" Wen Li was startled, "Wen Jia will be back soon.

"It's still very early!" He Yuzhu closed the door, picked up his wife and put her on the bed.

An hour later, he walked out of the room refreshed and went straight to the kitchen.

Wen Li lay weakly on the bed, but when she thought of her daughter coming home soon, she quickly got up and did the housework.

However, she was also surprised, is this medicine really so effective?

Then, she gritted her teeth, her heart filled with hatred, because her hands were already broken, and it was not easy to buy suitable replacements in a place like the capital.

Also, what to do with something like this?

She turned around, got a pair of scissors, cut the medicine into pieces, then found a bag to wrap it up before throwing it into the trash can.

Time flies. In the summer of 1986, Chen Xueru's hotel opened, and as a shareholder, He Yuzhu naturally needed to attend.

Chen Xueru's hotel is located opposite Xu Huizhen's hotel. She did not confront them head-on so as not to affect the customer base of both hotels.

As the number of people coming to the capital increased, the market economy gradually became active after the cancellation of bills.

Chen Xueru's hotel kitchen cooperates with Nan Yi, who has many apprentices, but he is currently short of funds, and has to rely on the shares purchased by He Yuzhu with previous loans to open branches.

On that day, Nan Yi and Ran Qiuye also arrived. The situations of their two families were similar. Nan Yi's two children had good academic performance and did not inherit his cooking skills.

When the two families were sitting together drinking, Nan Yi asked, "Wen Li, your dress is so beautiful, where did you buy it from?"

“I want to buy a few for Qiuye, too.

Ran Qiuye, who was sitting next to her, immediately smiled, but still said, "Wenli's clothes don't look like those from the mainland. Maybe they're not easy to buy?"

“I bought it in Hong Kong Island.

"Wen Li replied, "I went there before and bought a lot of things. You can go and have a look too.

"Hong Kong Island?" Ran Qiuye was stunned for a moment, "Forget it, it's too expensive to go there once.

Nan Yi immediately retorted: "What does it matter if it's expensive? We have paid off Zhuzi's debt now, and the family has some savings.

You've worked hard with me for so long, you must look very beautiful now when you dress up.

"Why are you still dressing up?" Ran Qiuye said shyly, "I'm almost fifty years old.

"How do you look like someone approaching 50?" Nan Yi insisted, "Do you want to go together?"

"Go ahead!" Wen Li didn't wait for He Yuzhu to respond and said directly, "I've been wearing these clothes for more than a year, it's time to buy some new ones.
