Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

He Yuzhu looked at Jia Dongxu's departing back, his heart filled with helplessness and anger. He knew that he just wanted to change his life through hard work, but he had incurred such hostility because of competition. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Qin Huairu patted his shoulder gently and said softly: "Yuzhu, don't be angry, Jia Dongxu is that kind of person. We just need to do our own things and ignore him."

He Yuzhu nodded and smiled bitterly. "Huai Ru, you are right. But this kind of thing is always upsetting. I don't want our business to be affected by these meaningless disputes."

Qin Huairu smiled and comforted him: "Yuzhu, don't worry, we will face it together and we will definitely overcome these difficulties."

In the next few days, He Yuzhu tried his best to focus on the business in the store, but Jia Dongxu's threat always lingered in his mind. He knew that Jia Dongxu was not the kind of person who gave up easily and might take some improper means to retaliate.

One night, He Yuzhu was busy in the kitchen preparing ingredients for the next day when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the store. He hurried out of the store and saw Jia Dongxu standing at the door with a few gangster-like people, with provocative smiles on their faces.

"He Yuzhu, today I will let you know the consequences of offending me!" Jia Dongxu said coldly, waving his hand to signal those people to come forward.

He Yuzhu felt a surge of anger, but he knew that he couldn't act rashly in this situation. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Dongxu, what are you doing? We are all neighbors. If you have any problems, you can sit down and talk. Don't make a move."

Jia Dongxu sneered and ignored He Yuzhu's words. The people he brought started to push He Yuzhu and try to make trouble. Qin Huairu ran over and stood beside He Yuzhu, saying anxiously: "Dongxu, don't be like this, talk it over nicely."

Jia Dongxu obviously didn't intend to listen to the advice, he waved his hand to signal those people to continue. Seeing this, He Yuzhu knew that he couldn't tolerate it anymore, he protected Qin Huairu, pushed her aside, and then shouted loudly: "Jia Dongxu, if you dare to take action today, don't blame me for being rude!"

Jia Dongxu was frightened by He Yuzhu's momentum, but he quickly regained his composure and sneered, "He Yuzhu, do you think you can scare me? Today I want to let you know what happens if you offend me!"

Just as the two sides were on the verge of a fight, the neighbors in the courtyard came over one after another. Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone stepped forward to dissuade them. Yi Zhonghai stood in the front and said seriously: "Dongxu, we are all neighbors. If there is any problem, can't we solve it properly? Do we have to fight?"

Liu Haizhong also stepped forward and said, "Dongxu, Yuzhu is doing legitimate business. What good is it for you to cause trouble and affect everyone's harmony?"

Jia Dongxu saw that the situation was not good and knew that he would not get any benefit if he continued to make trouble. He snorted coldly, waved his hand to stop those people, and then stared at He Yuzhu and said: "He Yuzhu, you are lucky today! But remember, this matter is not over yet!"

After Jia Dongxu and his men left, He Yuzhu looked at the neighbors who gathered around him, and his heart was filled with gratitude. He knew that it was with everyone's support that he was able to get through this difficult time.

"Thank you all for your help. Today is really thanks to you." He Yuzhu said gratefully with a rare smile on his face.

Yi Zhonghai patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "Yuzhu, we are all family, we will face anything together. Don't worry too much, Jia Dongxu is just a bastard, we are not afraid of him."

Liu Haizhong also smiled and said, "Yes, Yuzhu, just focus on your business, we will all support you."

Qin Huairu stood beside He Yuzhu, tears of emotion flashing in her eyes. "Yuzhu, everyone supports you so much, we will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties."

He Yuzhu felt the warmth and support from the people around him, and his worries gradually dissipated. He knew that no matter what challenges he would encounter in the future, as long as he had these friends and neighbors by his side, he would have enough strength to face them.

It was late at night, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu sat in the store, thinking about what had just happened, their hearts filled with emotion.

"Yuzhu, what happened today was really thrilling. Fortunately, I had everyone's support, otherwise I don't know what would have happened." Qin Huairu said softly, with a hint of fear in her tone.

He Yuzhu nodded, held her hand, and said gently: "Huai Ru, we will get through this. No matter what happens, I will protect you and this store."

Qin Huairu felt He Yuzhu's determination, and she also felt courage in her heart. "Yuzhu, I believe in you. If we work together, we will definitely overcome all difficulties."

He Yuzhu bought some enoki mushrooms and returned to the store, feeling a little satisfied. Enoki mushrooms are the main ingredient of his latest snack, and he believes that this new product will be loved by customers. He selected the best enoki mushrooms in the market. Although the price is high, he knows that quality is the key to winning customers' trust.

Back at the store, Qin Huairu was counting the inventory. She saw the enoki mushrooms in He Yuzhu's hand and smiled and said, "Yuzhu, did you buy them? These enoki mushrooms look very fresh and will definitely be popular."

He Yuzhu nodded and smiled, "Yes, I picked the best ones on purpose. This time we are launching the Enoki mushroom snack, and I have a feeling it will be very popular."

Qin Huairu nodded, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "I think so too. Customers who have come to the store recently have been full of praise for our snacks, especially the children."

He Yuzhu felt warm in his heart, knowing that his and Qin Huairu's efforts were not in vain. "Yes, the children like our things, which means we are doing the right thing. We must keep it up."

In the following time, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu were busy preparing the ingredients and seasonings for the golden needle mushroom snack. Together they studied the best cooking method, trying to find the best way to show the deliciousness of golden needle mushrooms. After several experiments, they finally determined a recipe with the best taste.

"Huai Ru, I think the enoki mushroom snack this time is very good. It tastes fresh and has a great texture." He Yuzhu took a bite and said with satisfaction.

Qin Huairu nodded and took a bite, a satisfied smile on her face: "Yuzhu, you are so talented, this recipe is absolutely amazing. I believe customers will like it."

He Yuzhu was full of expectations, knowing that the new product would bring new vitality to the store. On the opening day, a long line formed outside the store, and customers were attracted by the aroma of the enoki mushroom snacks.
