Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

"Good morning, Wang Qiang. You look good today." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Good morning, Yuzhu. I had a good rest last night and I feel much more energetic today." Wang Qiang also responded with a smile.

While eating breakfast, the two continued to discuss the plan of opening a stall. Wang Qiang made several specific suggestions, such as selling some simple snacks first, such as pancakes, sesame cakes, boiled corn, etc., which are both convenient and popular.

"These snacks are low-cost and everyone likes to eat them. They are indeed a good choice," He Yuzhu agreed.

Wang Qiang nodded: "Yes, let's try it first and accumulate some experience. When the time is right, we can expand the scale."

He Yuzhu patted Wang Qiang on the shoulder and said, "It's settled. If we work together, we will definitely succeed!"

In the next few days, Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu began to get busy. They went to the market to buy ingredients, studied the production methods of snacks, and chose a suitable place in the courtyard as a stall. After some preparation, their small stall finally opened.

On the first day of opening, neighbors from the courtyard came to support the restaurant, and they praised their snacks. Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu were very busy, but they felt extremely satisfied when they saw everyone's satisfied smiles.

"Wang Qiang, business is good today, right?" He Yuzhu asked while flipping pancakes.

"Yes, it's better than I expected. It seems that everyone recognizes our craftsmanship." Wang Qiang replied with a smile, his heart full of a sense of accomplishment.

In the evening, after closing the stall, Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu sat together in the yard, counting today's income, their hearts filled with joy and hope.

"Wang Qiang, I really think our stall has a future. As long as we stick to it, it will definitely get better and better." He Yuzhu said excitedly.

Wang Qiang nodded: "Yes, today is a good start, we will definitely get better and better in the future."

The two smiled at each other, their hearts full of hope and confidence for the future. They knew that although there might be many difficulties and challenges ahead, as long as they worked together, the future would be better.

In the following days, Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu continued to work hard to run their small stall, and their business was getting better and better. The life in the courtyard became more lively and richer because of their small stall, and everyone was happy together and enjoyed a good time.

One evening, Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu sat by the stall, looking at the bustling crowd, feeling extremely satisfied.

"Wang Qiang, look, our small stall has attracted so many customers. I didn't expect it." He Yuzhu said with emotion.

"Yes, I didn't expect that everyone likes our craftsmanship so much. It seems that our choice is right." Wang Qiang replied with a smile, his heart full of a sense of accomplishment.

The two chatted for a while, and He Yuzhu suddenly said, "Wang Qiang, have you ever thought that our booth can be bigger and more professional in the future?"

Wang Qiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course I have thought about it, but now we still need to accumulate more experience and funds. When the time is right, we can consider opening a real restaurant."

He Yuzhu nodded: "You are right, let's take it step by step, run the small stall well first, and then consider bigger plans."

Wang Qiang looked at He Yuzhu, his heart full of gratitude. He knew that his achievements today were inseparable from He Yuzhu's help and support. The two smiled at each other, their hearts full of longing and hope for the future.

As the night deepened, the courtyard gradually became quiet. Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu packed up their stall, said good night to each other, and returned to their rooms.

Wang Qiang was lying on the bed, thinking back to the day, feeling extremely satisfied and happy. He knew that the road ahead was still long, but as long as he had friends and partners like He Yuzhu, he would be able to overcome all difficulties and realize his dream.

As the days passed, Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu's small stall business was booming. Although the money they made was not much, it was enough to cover their daily expenses. However, as the business got better and better, Wang Qiang's pressure was also increasing. He had been feeling an inexplicable tiredness and irritability recently, especially when he was busy, he always felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

One morning, Wang Qiang got up early and walked out of the house. Seeing the quiet yard, he suddenly felt the urge to escape. He sat on a stone bench, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and thought about his recent troubles.

"Wang Qiang, why did you get up so early?" He Yuzhu's voice came from behind.

Wang Qiang looked back and saw He Yuzhu approaching with a concerned look on his face. He felt warm in his heart, but then he felt powerless again: "Yuzhu, I feel very tired and upset recently."

He Yuzhu walked over to him, sat down and said, "You are too tired. Business has been good recently and you are under a lot of pressure. How about we take a day off today and go out to relax?"

Wang Qiang nodded, thinking this was a good suggestion: "Okay, let's take a day off today and go out for some fresh air."

The two decided to go to a park outside the city. The environment there was beautiful and the air was fresh. It was a good place to relax. Along the way, although Wang Qiang tried to relax himself, he still felt restless. He knew that his stress came not only from the busy business, but also from the uncertainty about the future and the helplessness of reality.

Arriving at the park, Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu found a secluded place to sit down, surrounded by birdsong and flowers, making people feel relaxed and happy. He Yuzhu looked at Wang Qiang and said with a smile: "Qiangzi, let's relax today and don't think about those troubles."

Wang Qiang gave a bitter smile: "That said, I just can't get rid of the restlessness in my heart. I always feel like I'm on an invisible rope, with the pressure of business on one end and the unknown future on the other. Every step is tiring."

He Yuzhu nodded to show his understanding: "I understand how you feel. In fact, I feel the same way. Everyone has their own pressures and worries, but we can't be defeated by them. Look, the weather is so good today, let's put aside those worries for the time being and enjoy life."

Wang Qiang felt relieved after hearing this. He took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air, and it seemed as if the heaviness in his heart was also lightened a little. He decided to put aside those troubles for the time being and enjoy this rare leisure time with He Yuzhu.

The two walked in the park and chatted. He Yuzhu told some interesting stories, which made Wang Qiang laugh. Wang Qiang felt that his mood gradually improved and he felt much more relaxed.
