Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

The success of the restaurant did not make He Yuzhu proud and complacent. He knew that to maintain the long-term prosperity of the restaurant, he must continue to innovate and improve. He often used his free time to eat and learn from other restaurants, learn from others' strengths, and humbly accept customers' suggestions. He also passed on his insights and experience to employees, so that everyone could make progress together.

However, as the restaurant became more famous, He Yuzhu also encountered many difficulties and challenges. The first was the rise in raw material prices, followed by the intensification of market competition. Even more difficult was that some local officials began to take an interest in his small restaurant, hoping to benefit from it. He Yuzhu understood that to survive in this environment, he not only had to have excellent cooking skills and business acumen, but also had to know how to deal with various complex social relationships.

In order to cope with these challenges, He Yuzhu adopted a series of strategies. First, he ensured that the restaurant was operating legally, with all the necessary procedures and certificates to eliminate the risk of being investigated. Second, he made some influential friends through legitimate means to ensure that someone could help him at critical moments. In addition, he actively participated in community activities and won the support and trust of his neighbors.

One day, a young man from Beijing walked into He Yuzhu's restaurant. He claimed to be a cadre from a certain central government department, praised the restaurant's food, and expressed the hope to cooperate to promote the restaurant's business model to a larger scale. He Yuzhu saw this as a rare opportunity, and after a detailed discussion, they reached a cooperation intention.

After the cooperation, He Yuzhu's restaurant ushered in greater development. He not only opened several branches, but also began to get involved in food processing and distribution business. The restaurant's brand gradually went beyond the local area and became a well-known restaurant. He Yuzhu also made more friends and partners, and his business territory continued to expand.

Despite his thriving business, He Yuzhu never forgot his original intention. He still cooks by himself, researches new dishes, and maintains his love and persistence for food. He also always cares about the lives of his employees and strives to create better working conditions and development opportunities for them. The hotel is not only a model of commercial success, but also a big family full of warmth and care.

As time goes by, He Yuzhu's name becomes more and more famous in the catering industry. His story is also widely reported by the media, and he has become a legendary figure in the minds of many people. He not only created a brilliant career with his own efforts and wisdom, but also interpreted the values ​​of integrity, diligence and kindness with practical actions.

As the restaurant continued to expand, He Yuzhu began to realize that he could no longer handle the increasingly busy affairs alone. One night, after closing the restaurant, he sat alone in the corner of the kitchen, looking at the stove that had just been cleaned, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He knew that the success of the restaurant was inseparable from the support of every customer and his own hard work, but in order to continue to develop, he had to recruit some reliable helpers.

The next morning, He Yuzhu went to the market early to buy. Unlike usual, while selecting fresh ingredients, he also paid attention to the vegetable vendors and the idle laborers in the market. He thought to himself: "These people may be good helpers. As long as they are hardworking, they will have the opportunity to find a stable job in the restaurant."

After returning to the hotel, He Yuzhu began to post recruitment advertisements. He specifically wrote that the hotel did not need simple employees, but partners who could work together to create a better future. He hoped to find people who were passionate about cooking and responsible for their work. As soon as the advertisement was posted, it attracted a lot of attention. On the first day, several people came to apply for the job.

A young man named Xiao Liu first caught He Yuzhu's attention. Xiao Liu was not tall and looked a little thin, but his eyes revealed a determination and diligence. He Yuzhu asked him, "Why do you want to work here?" Xiao Liu smiled and replied, "I have loved cooking since I was a child. Although I have no formal experience, I am willing to learn from scratch and hope to become a good chef like you one day."

He Yuzhu nodded, took Xiao Liu into the kitchen, and personally taught him the basic techniques of cutting vegetables and cooking. Xiao Liu learned quickly and memorized every step carefully. He Yuzhu was very pleased to see his progress.

In the following days, several more people joined the restaurant team. Some were vendors in the market, some were nearby residents, and some were young people who came here because they heard about the restaurant's reputation. He Yuzhu interviewed them one by one, patiently listening to each person's story and understanding their background and motivations.

One night, the restaurant was closed, He Yuzhu and several newly recruited employees sat in the restaurant and talked about future plans. Xiao Liu said: "Brother Yuzhu, I have been thinking, can we make some special dishes in the restaurant to let more people know about our restaurant?" Another employee named Aqiang also agreed: "Yes, we can make some innovative dishes, so that the guests will feel fresh."

He Yuzhu felt warm in his heart after hearing this. He realized that these young people were not just looking for a job, they also had their own dreams and pursuits. He smiled and said, "Your ideas are very good. Innovation is the key to the continuous development of our hotel. As long as we work together, we will definitely make the hotel even better."

In the following days, He Yuzhu and the new employees worked together to study new dishes. Every night, when the restaurant closed, they gathered in the kitchen to try out various ingredients and recipes. Failure was common, but after each failure, everyone would sum up their experience and try again. After countless attempts, they finally launched a unique signature dish - He's Braised Pork. Once this dish was launched, it won unanimous praise from customers, and the restaurant's business became more prosperous.

During his busy days, He Yuzhu often reflects on his decisions and future direction late at night. He sits in the corner of the kitchen, looking at the starry sky outside the window, thinking: "The road ahead is still long, I must continue to learn and improve, so that I can lead everyone to go further." He often thinks of his parents and the scenes of helping in the kitchen when he was a child. These memories have become his motivation to persevere.

He Yuzhu was not satisfied with the current achievements. He began to think about how to further expand the scale of the hotel and how to attract more customers. Once, he saw the business model of a famous restaurant in a magazine, and his mind suddenly became clear. He decided to introduce modern management methods to improve the service quality while maintaining the traditional characteristics of the hotel.
