Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

Liu Haizhong patted his shoulder, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Qiangzi, don't be so modest. Everyone can see that you have really changed a lot since you came back this time."

Wang Qiang felt warm in his heart, and he knew that Liu Haizhong's words were sincere. They exchanged a few pleasantries and talked about their recent situations. Wang Qiang found that Liu Haizhong was also a loyal person, and he respected him even more.

In the evening, Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu sat at the stone table in the yard again, enjoying the quiet time. He Yuzhu lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled the smoke: "Qiangzi, did Liu Haizhong come to see you today?"

Wang Qiang nodded: "Yes, Brother Haizhong came to see me specially, and we talked a lot. He also said that everyone saw my return this time."

He Yuzhu smiled, his eyes full of satisfaction: "Qiangzi, you did a good job. As long as you are sincere for the good of everyone, time will prove everything."

Wang Qiang nodded, feeling full of strength. He knew that the road ahead would still be full of challenges, but with the support of He Yuzhu and these friends, he would be able to overcome all difficulties.

Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu's days in the courtyard gradually returned to peace, but Wang Qiang knew that if he wanted to truly win everyone's trust, he needed more efforts. One morning, he stood in the yard, thinking about how to further integrate into this big family. Suddenly, he thought of a person - Xu Damao, an old friend who had been selling tofu on the street for many years.

Xu Damao is a kind person. Although his business is not big, he is always willing to help others and has a good relationship with the people in the yard. Wang Qiang thinks that maybe with the help of Xu Damao, he can better narrow the distance between himself and his neighbors. He decided to talk to Xu Damao.

The morning air was fresh and the sun was shining warmly on the street. Wang Qiang walked to Xu Damao's tofu stall. Xu Damao was busy greeting customers. When he saw Wang Qiang coming, he smiled warmly: "Hey, Qiangzi, long time no see! How come you have time to come here today?"

Wang Qiang smiled and nodded: "Brother Damao, I came to see you today, and by the way, I have something to discuss with you."

When Xu Damao heard this, he immediately put down his work and asked Wang Qiang to sit down: "Okay, Qiangzi, if you have anything to say, I will never refuse as long as I can help."

Wang Qiang felt Xu Damao's enthusiasm and felt warm in his heart: "Brother Damao, this is what I mean. I have been making some changes in the courtyard recently to make everyone's life better. I heard that your tofu business is doing well. I would like to invite you to sell tofu in the courtyard so that it will be more convenient for everyone to buy things."

Xu Damao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately agreed, "Okay, Qiangzi, this is a good idea! I'm worried that this stall has to be set up outside every day, exposed to the wind and sun, and sometimes it's really hard to run. If we can sell tofu in the yard, it will be convenient for everyone and I won't have to worry too much."

Wang Qiang was delighted to see Xu Damao agreed so readily: "That's great, Brother Damao. Let's make an appointment. I'll help you move the things and we'll move the stall to the yard."

Xu Damao nodded in agreement: "No problem, Qiangzi, let's go there tomorrow morning. Go there early and make arrangements while there are fewer people."

The next morning, Wang Qiang and Xu Damao got busy together. They moved Xu Damao's tofu stall to the corner of the courtyard and chose a sunny spot. Xu Damao's stall was full of fresh tofu, and the various flavors of soy products made people salivate. Wang Qiang and Xu Damao worked hard for a whole morning and finally arranged everything.

"Qiangzi, thank you. This location is really good. It will be much more convenient for everyone to buy tofu in the future." Xu Damao said gratefully with a satisfied smile on his face.

Wang Qiang smiled and patted Xu Damao on the shoulder: "Brother Damao, we are friends, don't be polite. As long as it is convenient for everyone, I will be happy."

Xu Damao nodded, and his heart was filled with warmth. He knew that Wang Qiang was truly doing this for everyone's benefit, and his gratitude towards him deepened.

At noon that day, the courtyard was bustling with activity, and many neighbors came to watch the fun and buy some fresh tofu. Wang Qiang was busy helping Xu Damao entertain the guests, and the courtyard was filled with laughter.

Qin Huairu felt a little complicated when she saw this scene. She walked to Xu Damao's stall, picked up a piece of tofu, and looked suspicious: "Brother Damao, why did you move here?"

Xu Damao replied with a smile: "Sister Huairu, it was Wang Qiang who suggested it. He said that this would make it more convenient for everyone to buy things and save me trouble."

Qin Huairu heard this, and a trace of thought flashed in her eyes. She turned her head and looked at Wang Qiang who was busy, and her opinion of him changed a little. Although she had some opinions about Wang Qiang before, now seeing that he had done so much for everyone, she couldn't help but feel a little admiration in her heart.

In the afternoon, Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu sat at the stone table in the yard, drinking tea and chatting. He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao's stall not far away and nodded with satisfaction: "Qiangzi, your idea is good. It is much more convenient for everyone."

Wang Qiang smiled and felt relieved: "Yuzhu, I just want to do something for everyone, hoping to make life in the yard better."

He Yuzhu nodded, his eyes full of satisfaction: "Qiangzi, you have performed very well during this period, and everyone has seen it. As long as you continue like this, everyone will trust you more and more."

Life in the courtyard gradually returned to normal, and Wang Qiang also slowly found his own rhythm during this period. However, he always had a hidden worry in his heart that he could not ignore - changes in the market. He knew that the current economic environment was not optimistic and many small businesses were affected. Whether Xu Damao's tofu stall could continue to operate smoothly in the courtyard still needed careful evaluation.

One morning, Wang Qiang stood in the yard, thinking about this problem. Although Xu Damao's stall had moved to the yard, the competition in the market was still fierce. If he couldn't find a suitable sales strategy, he would probably face difficulties. Wang Qiang decided to talk to Xu Damao to see if he could find some solutions.

He walked to Xu Damao's stall and saw Xu Damao busy greeting customers. Wang Qiang waited until there were fewer people, then walked up and said, "Brother Damao, I have something to discuss with you."

Xu Damao raised his head and saw Wang Qiang, a smile appeared on his face: "Qiangzi, just tell me what you want to say."

Wang Qiang nodded and said seriously, "Brother Damao, I know your business has been good recently, but the market situation has been changing. Shouldn't we consider some new sales strategies? For example, launching some new products or organizing some promotional activities to let more people know about our tofu."
