Siheyuan: Incredible understanding and superb cooking skills

He Yuzhu, who was looking at the young man, seemed quite confused. It was not that he thought the young man was wrong, but in fact there was indeed a slight difference.

Fang Jinxin's name is not uncommon, but when combined with his star-like face, everything seems extraordinary.

However, at present, He Yuzhu is still unable to judge whether he is really the person in his mind. He needs to understand the situation first. If he is indeed the person he guessed, it would be very interesting.

"Jinxin, this is He Yuzhu, a very important person to me."

After the introduction, Lou Guodong held Fang Jinxin's hand tightly and said, "Zhu Zi, this is the son of my old friend - Fang Jinxin."

Facing He Yuzhu's plain Zhongshan suit, Fang Jinxin did not show contempt, but a friendly smile on his face showed a sincere welcome, "Hello, Mr. He, I am Fang Jinxin, a friend of your uncle.

"

"Hello, Brother Fang.

He Yuzhu stretched out his hand and shook hands with him, “This time I am here to ensure Mr. Lou’s safety, and I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation.

"

"I see. Nice to meet you."

A hint of surprise flashed across Fang Jinxin's eyes.

It can be seen that the person in front of him is about the same age as him.

Being able to engage in security protection work at such a young age, and being brought from the mainland by Lou Guodong, his identity and background made Fang Jinxin unable to help but speculate.

"You're welcome, Mr. He.

"He Yuzhu smiled and nodded.

“Jinxin, let’s get started.

"Lou Guodong spoke.

“Okay, Uncle Lou.

"Fang Jinxin said and made an inviting gesture, "I have already made an appointment with the bank manager, we can go directly there.

"

"Ok.

"Lou Guodong nodded.

In the following time, He Yuzhu remained silent and maintained the role of a bodyguard, existing like an invisible man.

However, he was planning something in his mind - robbing a bank! But he was not targeting the bank called "Bank of China".

A financial institution, no matter who its owner is at the moment, is, after all, an enterprise run by one's own people.

On the way, he carefully observed and recorded some of the security settings and internal layout of the Bank of China.

Although he had no plans to plunder, he thought he could learn something from others' strategies.

Become familiar with the environment and accumulate practical experience so that if you need to take action in the future, you will not be ignorant of everything.

As for this arrangement, Lou Guodong did not know what method he used, but they succeeded in "Bank of China"

A large sum of Hong Kong dollars was exchanged, a full seven figures, which was a huge fortune in 1961.

At that time, a clerk's monthly salary was only two or three hundred Hong Kong dollars, the rent of a small public housing unit was about 80 to 200 Hong Kong dollars, and the price of purchasing a private house was between and Hong Kong dollars.

Although these houses are not large, only about 100 to 300 square feet or about 10 to 20 square meters, in Japan where every inch of land is valuable, a few hundred square feet is considered wealthy, and 300 to 400 square feet is also considered spacious.

He Yuzhu originally had no intention of exchanging it for cash. He had the ability to build all of this with his own strength, so why should he exchange it for cash?

After leaving Bank of China, Lou Guodong immediately took He Yuzhu shopping to buy new clothes because the outfit he was wearing was too eye-catching.

With Fang Jinxin accompanying him throughout the journey, and with the protection of a Mercedes-Benz and a civilian driver, he did not encounter any idle or pretentious people on the road.

When He Yuzhu put on his new clothes - a well-fitting suit and leather shoes, and walked out of the fitting room, not only the clerk's eyes lit up, but even Fang Jinxin was shocked by his change.

"How is it? Not bad?" He Yuzhu looked at the two of them with a smile.

"It's not just good! It's brand new.

"Lou Guodong was surprised but also a little sad that his daughter, with such outstanding talents, could not become his legal wife.

Then I thought, there must be no shortage of women around this man, and it would be better to settle down with one early while he is still not really famous than to end up with no status at all.

"Mr. He, this outfit has transformed your entire temperament, it's amazing.

"Fang Jin, the novice, exclaimed in admiration.

“Mr. Fang, you don’t have to praise me too much.

"He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "But this one is really suitable. I need two more sets just in case."

"

"Of course, if you like, you can pick any amount you like.

"Lou Guodong laughed.

Looking at Lou Guodong's attitude, Fang Jinxin's eyes flashed with surprise.

In fact, on the way there, Fang Jinxin had noticed that there seemed to be some subtle changes in the relationship between Lou Guodong and He Yuzhu.

Although it was easy to conceal in the Bank of China Building, once they left that environment, the relationship between He Yuzhu and Lou Guodong was far more than just protector and protected.

In front of others, they would call Lou Guodong Mr. Lou, and in private they would simply call him Old Lou. Moreover, Lou Guodong showed an obvious attentive attitude, which was obviously not without clues.

Nevertheless, considering that Lou Guodong came from China, Fang Jinxin couldn't help but brand him with a mysterious identity label in his mind.

He Yuzhu finally chose two sets of formal suits - a well-tailored suit, and one set of casual outfit, while Lou Guodong only bought two sets of formal suits. Then he took He Yuzhu into a watch store and bought each of them a gold Rolex watch.

After the shopping spree, Fang Jinxin hosted Lou Guodong and He Yuzhu at Manhanlou at noon to celebrate.

"Manhan Building?"

If He Yuzhu had just seen this name, he might not have thought much about it.

However, when the hotel owner arrived in person, he also saw the face of a young Hong Kong drama superstar and couldn't help but admire him in his heart.

If what Yuzhu guessed was true, then the person in front of him represented a classic ** drama.

Ou Zhaofeng of Man Han Lou was apparently related to a series of Hong Kong movies. He Yuzhu clearly remembered that this was a famous food comedy movie.

"that……"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment, looked at Fang Jinxin and asked, "Mr. Fang, is there any restaurant called 'You Guqi' here?"

"Have the guts?"

Fang Jinxin recalled and shook his head, "Sorry, I haven't heard of it."

At this time, Au Siu Fung of Man Han Lou was serving dishes himself. Upon hearing this, he responded enthusiastically: "Our Man Han Lou is a time-honored Hong Kong-style restaurant and is also well-known in the catering industry."

He added, "As for the 'Youguqi Restaurant' you mentioned, I have never heard of it."

He Yuzhu heard the words with a Hong Kong accent and replied with a smile: "Thank you, maybe I remembered the name wrong."

Ou Zhaofeng waved his hand and said, "It's only natural for the guest to be polite."

Although there were only three of us for this meal, the quality was outstanding.

It is said that Manhanlou originated from the palace and inherited the skills of Manchu and Han banquet, but it is hard to say how true this is.

After tasting it, He Yuzhu gave it an overall good evaluation.

There were only two dishes that made him sure were carefully prepared by the chef himself.

If it were some online novels, there would definitely be some conflicts here. Mr. He would show his superb cooking skills, shock everyone and win praise. In the end, the restaurant might waive the bill and use many means to retain the customer.

However, these plots do not happen in this reality.

Opening a shop to make a profit is a way of making a living in a harmonious way, not looking for trouble.

During the meal, Fang Jinxin was surprised by He Yuzhu's amazing appetite.

He can eat the same amount of food as five or six adults, which is truly astonishing.

Seeing this, Fang Jinxin reminded him: "Mr. He, overeating is not good for your health."

"Thank you for your kindness,"

He Yuzhu smiled and waved, answering, “I have some special circumstances.

I can eat several days' worth of food at a time, and I can also go days without food or water.

Just think of it as a job requirement for me."

"Work requirements?"

Fang Jinxin was stunned, remembering that He Yuzhu was a security guard. He immediately realized that behind such a big appetite, the other party might have some special physique.

Just as he was thinking about it, a group of people suddenly rushed out of Hanman Building. After getting the news, Ou Zhaofeng quickly came up to them and greeted them respectfully.

"Who are these people? They don't look like good people.

"He Yuzhu looked at those guys who were obviously gangsters with interest.

"They are all gang thugs."

Fang Jinxin lowered his voice and added, "These people are all assholes. There's no need to take the initiative to provoke them."

"That makes sense."

He Yuzhu nodded and turned to Lou Guodong: "Old Lou, let's leave. It's not safe to stay here for too long."

"As you say."

Lou Guodong agreed.

Here, Fang Jinxin asked the waiter to settle the bill. After a small discount, the whole table only cost 180 Hong Kong dollars.

In later times, this price was considered extremely cheap, but in 1961, the monthly salary of an ordinary clerk was only to Hong Kong dollars, and teachers' income was slightly higher, around to yuan.

The lowest-level workers only earn more than 50 Hong Kong dollars a month.

Before arriving, He Yuzhu learned about the price level in Hong Kong at that time from Fang Jinxin.

For a common breakfast on the market, you can buy soy milk and fried dough sticks for five cents (one Hong Kong dollar), and you can enjoy slightly higher-end foods such as bread and sandwiches for one cent (one Hong Kong dollar).

With this level of consumption, a meal cost of HK$180 is equivalent to an average family's income for one and a half to three months, which is extremely expensive.

When paying the bill, Fang Jinxin gave a tip as usual - just two dollars, which accounted for about 10% of the total meal cost.

Looking at the chaos in Manhan Building, He Yuzhu wanted to use his fists to beat them up, but the thugs clearly saw them paying the bill, and the amount was not small, but no one caused trouble.

This clearly shows that the gangsters are not stupid and they know who should not be easily provoked.

There is a profound division in Hong Kong society: the lower-class people are often exploited by various social groups, but the rich and powerful are rarely messed with.

Of course, there are also people who are confused or angry and ignore the rules, but they are a minority after all. Most of the time, gangsters and the rich and powerful maintain peace with each other.

Even some people who truly hold power will choose to cooperate with community groups and use the power of the community to manage affairs.

This shows that capital expansion is often accompanied by blood and darkness. There are many things that rich people will not do themselves. As long as they are provided with benefits that are insignificant to them, they can achieve their goals smoothly, which is of course what they want.

When the three men left the Manhan Building, another group of thugs were coming here. It was obvious that the two gangs were going to have the so-called "drinking tea" - a real conversation.
