Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

He Yuzhu sat on the bed, rubbing his temples, trying to get rid of the strange dream. In the dream, he found that the private money he had hidden behind the closet was gone. He was so anxious that he searched all over the yard and even asked every neighbor in the courtyard, but no one knew the whereabouts of the money. The anxiety and uneasiness in the dream were still clear, as if a stone was pressing on his heart, making him unable to calm down for a long time.

He took a deep breath and decided not to think about the dream anymore. After all, it was just a dream. He got up, washed up, and prepared to start a new day. When he walked out of the room, the courtyard was still as usual, full of the breath of life. The neighbors were busy, some were drying clothes, some were feeding chickens, and some were chatting together.

He Yuzhu walked to the center of the yard and ran into Qin Huairu. Seeing He Yuzhu, she greeted him warmly: "Yuzhu, good morning! What are you going to do today?"

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "Good morning, Huairu. I'm taking a rest today. I don't have any special plans."

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "Yuzhu, you know what? Yesterday I saw Xu Damao seemed very anxious. I wonder if he ran into trouble again."

He Yuzhu couldn't help but get nervous when he heard this. He remembered that Xu Damao's business had just started to pick up recently, and he thought there might be some problems. He decided to go to Xu Damao to ask for clarification.

He Yuzhu came to Xu Damao's door and knocked. The door opened quickly. Xu Damao saw that it was He Yuzhu and smiled bitterly: "Yuzhu, come in and sit down."

He Yuzhu walked into the room and looked at Xu Damao, who looked a little tired. "Da Mao, what's wrong? You haven't been quite right these past few days." He said, "Yuzhu, I was just looking for you. I've had some troubles with my business recently, but this time it's not a funding issue. Someone is behind this and wants to squeeze out my business."

He Yuzhu frowned. "Someone is behind this? Do you know who it is?" "I don't know who it is yet, but I feel something is wrong. During this period, there are always customers returning goods without reason, or suddenly saying that there is a problem with our goods. I suspect someone is deliberately making trouble behind the scenes."

He Yuzhu nodded: "How about this, let's work together to see if we can find any clues. Have you made any special discoveries in the past few days?"

Xu Damao thought for a while and said, "Several customers mentioned a new supplier, saying that their price is lower than ours and the quality is also good. I suspect there is something fishy behind this."

After listening to this, He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and suggested, "Well, let's go and find out about the new supplier and see if we can find any clues."

After discussing it, the two decided to act separately. He Yuzhu was responsible for inquiring about the market, while Xu Damao continued to pay attention to customer feedback and trends in business.

He Yuzhu came to the market and visited several familiar vendors to inquire about the new supplier. He pretended to be relaxed and chatted with the vendors, and gradually learned some information. It is said that this new supplier suddenly appeared, the price was very low, and the service attitude was very good, and many small vendors turned to them as their source of goods.

He Yuzhu had some clues in his mind. He felt that this new supplier came too suddenly and there must be something wrong behind it. He decided to investigate further and found an old friend in the market who was well-informed.

This old friend was a veteran stall owner in the market, well-informed and well-connected. He Yuzhu bought some cigarettes, handed them to him, and then casually asked, "Old Li, do you know the new supplier in the market recently?"

Old Li took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and said mysteriously: "Yuzhu, you asked the right person. The new supplier is not an ordinary person. I heard that there is a big shot backing him up."

He Yuzhu frowned: "A big shot's support?"

Old Li shook his head: "I don't know who it is, but I heard that he is a rich and powerful person with many tricks. Recently, many small vendors have turned to them, and we old suppliers can hardly hold on. I am more convinced that this matter is not simple. He decided to take this news back to discuss with Xu Damao to see what to do next. He Yuzhu and Xu Damao sat down at home and discussed the situation in the market in detail. After listening, Xu Damao's face was solemn: "It seems that this new supplier is really not a good person. We have to think of a way, otherwise the business will really not be able to hold on."

He Yuzhu patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said firmly: "Da Mao, don't worry, let's take it step by step. I think we can talk to some old customers to see what they think of the new supplier, and then make countermeasures according to the situation. "Yuzhu, I feel more at ease with you here. Let's work together and we will definitely get through this difficult time. "

In the next few days, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao began to visit old customers to understand their views on the new supplier. Although many old customers were attracted by the low prices of the new supplier, they still had concerns about their quality and after-sales service. Based on these feedbacks, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao adjusted their sales strategies, not only ensuring quality, but also strengthening after-sales service, and gradually regained the trust of some old customers. Recalling the recent experience. He felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. Although it was very busy during this period, his and Xu Damao's efforts finally paid off. He knew that the road ahead was still full of challenges, but as long as they persisted, they would surely usher in a better tomorrow.

Recently, he heard that there was a new batch of special spices on the market. These spices were said to be brought from remote areas, with unique flavors that could make dishes even better. As a chef in a restaurant, he was always curious and interested in these new things. He decided to go to the market and buy some to try, maybe he could bring new specialties to the restaurant.

In the morning, after having breakfast and packing up briefly, He Yuzhu set out for the market. Walking on the familiar path, he was thinking about what to buy today and how to use these special seasonings to create new dishes. He was a little excited, and the feeling of exploring new things made him full of energy. He Yuzhu walked past the stalls one by one, and finally found the stall selling special seasonings in a corner. The stall owner was a young man, who greeted him enthusiastically: "Brother, what do you want to buy? The seasonings here are unique!"

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded: "I heard that you have some special seasonings brought from remote areas. Can you introduce them to me?"

The young man's eyes lit up, and he was obviously confident in his products. He took out several bottles of seasonings and introduced them one by one: "I personally purchased these from remote areas. This bottle is a special chili powder, spicy and fragrant; this bottle is a unique pepper powder, full of numbing flavor; and this bottle is a spice made from dozens of herbs, which can make the dishes more delicious."
