Siheyuan: The eldest brother of the He family, abuses Shazhu at the beginning

He Yuliang put down the tools in his hands, walked forward and asked, "What's wrong, Yu Li?"

Yu Li took a deep breath and said, "I just received news that someone wants to buy the street where our restaurant is located and plans to demolish it and rebuild it."

After hearing this, He Yuliang frowned and asked, "Who wants to buy that street?"

Yu Li shook her head and said, "I don't know who it is exactly, I just know that they offered a very high price, and several nearby stores have agreed."

Liu Xiaofang asked worriedly, "What about our restaurant?"

He Yuliang pondered for a moment and said firmly: "No matter who wants to buy that street, we can't let the restaurant be demolished. Let's go find other shop owners and see if we can unite and resist together."

"How about we close the store early today and take Mom to the nearby park for a walk?" Liu Xiaofang suggested.

He Yuliang nodded in agreement: "Okay, Mom has been working hard recently, so it's a good opportunity to take her out to relax."

After they finished tidying up the yard, they went to the restaurant together. On the way, they met Uncle Li next door. Uncle Li was an old resident in the courtyard and had always taken good care of He Yuliang and Liu Xiaofang.

"Yuliang, Xiaofang, good morning!" Uncle Li greeted them warmly.

"Good morning, Uncle Li." He Yuliang and Liu Xiaofang answered in unison.

Uncle Li looked at He Yuliang and said with a smile: "Yuliang, your business is good recently, right? I heard that you are planning to expand your business?"

He Yuliang smiled and said, "Yes, a company recently approached us to discuss cooperation, but we are still considering it."

"That's a good thing. You must seize the opportunity." Uncle Li encouraged.

"Thank you, Uncle Li, we will consider it carefully." He Yuliang said gratefully.

Arriving at the restaurant, the busy day begins again. The restaurant is bustling with customers. He Yuliang and Liu Xiaofang are busy in the kitchen, making sure every dish is cooked carefully.

At noon, Yu Li came in again with a stack of documents. Her expression was a little serious, which made He Yuliang and Liu Xiaofang feel nervous.

"Brother Yuliang, Sister Xiaofang, I have something to tell you." Yu Li sat down with a serious expression.

"What's the matter? Yu Li, what happened?" He Yuliang put down the work in his hands and asked with concern.

Yu Li sighed and explained, "It's like this. I just received news that the rent in the city is going to increase. Starting from next month, our monthly rent will increase by 1000 yuan."

Liu Xiaofang was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "The rent has increased again? It just increased once last year, why is it increasing again?"

Yu Li shook her head helplessly: "There's nothing we can do about it. The city's policies are always changing, and we can only try to adapt."

He Yuliang frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "So what should we do now?"

Yu Li thought about it and suggested: "We can consider raising the price of vegetables a little bit. Although it may affect some customer flow, it is the only way to deal with the increase in rent."

Liu Xiaofang said worriedly: "But if the price of vegetables goes up, will customers think our restaurant is too expensive and won't want to come?"

He Yuliang comforted her, "Xiaofang, don't worry. The quality of our food is guaranteed. As long as we provide good service, customers will still come."

Liu Xiaofang nodded and forced a smile: "You are right, Yuliang, we must have confidence."

Yu Li also echoed: "Yes, we must believe in ourselves. As long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to overcome these difficulties."

In the next few days, He Yuliang and Liu Xiaofang discussed how to adjust the menu and prices to cope with the pressure of rising rent. They decided to increase the prices of some popular dishes appropriately while ensuring quality, and at the same time launch some preferential activities to attract more customers.

As time went by, new prices and promotions were gradually implemented, but the restaurant's business was not greatly affected and customers continued to come in an endless stream.

One autumn afternoon, the restaurant was full of guests, and He Yuliang and Liu Xiaofang were very busy. Suddenly, a familiar figure walked in at the door. It was their old friend Uncle Chen.

"Uncle Chen, long time no see!" He Yuliang greeted him happily.

"Yuliang, Xiaofang, how is your business recently?" Uncle Chen asked with a smile.

Liu Xiaofang brought a dish and said with a smile, "Not bad, I've been a little busy lately."

Uncle Chen nodded and said in a serious tone, "I heard that the rent here has increased a lot. Are you all right?"

He Yuliang sighed and replied, "Yes, the rent has increased, and we can only cope with it by raising the price of vegetables. But fortunately, the guests are very supportive of us."

Uncle Chen patted He Yuliang on the shoulder and comforted him: "You are doing very well. As long as you stick to it, there will be good results."

He Yuliang nodded gratefully: "Thank you Uncle Chen, we will continue to work hard."

The restaurant's business is still booming, and He Yuliang and Liu Xiaofang are busy every day. As time goes by, the restaurant's reputation is getting better and better, and customers praise their delicious food and thoughtful service.

Year after year, life in the courtyard remains warm and beautiful. With the support of their families, He Yuliang and Liu Xiaofang have overcome difficulties one after another. The restaurant's business is getting better and better, and their lives are becoming more and more fulfilling.

However, life is always full of uncertainties. One year later, He Yuliang was busy in the kitchen when he suddenly received a call.

"Yuliang, I'm the landlord. I have news to tell you. Starting next month, the rent will increase again, by 1500 yuan per month." said the landlord on the other end of the phone.

He Yuliang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Landlord, why are you raising the rent so suddenly?"

The landlord said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do. The city's policy has changed again, and we can only follow the increase."

After hanging up the phone, He Yuliang walked to Liu Xiaofang with a heavy heart and told her the news.

"Yuliang, what should we do?" Liu Xiaofang asked worriedly.

He Yuliang pondered for a moment and said firmly: "Xiaofang, no matter how much the rent increases, we must persevere. The restaurant is our hard work, we can't give up."

Liu Xiaofang nodded, with a determined light in her eyes: "You are right, we can definitely overcome these difficulties."

He Yuliang and Liu Xiaofang held a small meeting again to discuss how to deal with the new rent increase. They decided to continue to adjust the price of dishes and launch more preferential activities to attract more customers.

A few days later, the new prices and promotions were implemented again, and the restaurant's business was still booming. Customers expressed their understanding and continued to patronize their restaurant.
