Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

"Your takeaway has arrived, please sign for it." The delivery man said with a smile and handed the bag to Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang took the bag, and a surge of anticipation surged in his heart. He could almost smell the aroma coming from the bag, and the thought that he would soon be able to eat the bowl of pig intestine noodles that he had been craving for made him feel a little better.

"Thank you, you must have worked hard on the road." Wang Qiang thanked with a smile.

"It's okay. This is what I should do. Please go in quickly, otherwise your cold will get worse." The delivery man kindly reminded and turned away.

Wang Qiang closed the door and couldn't wait to take the bag into the kitchen. He thought that this bowl of hot pig intestine noodles would definitely warm his body and make him feel better. He opened the bag and took out the lunch boxes one by one. However, when he opened the last lunch box, he found that it was not pig intestine noodles, but a bowl of ordinary noodles.

Seeing this scene, Wang Qiang was stunned, and a feeling of disappointment and helplessness suddenly surged in his heart. Although this bowl of vegetarian noodles was also exquisite, it was far from the pig intestine noodles he had been looking forward to for a long time. Wang Qiang was a little overwhelmed for a moment, not knowing whether he should call the takeaway customer service to complain. After all, he was weak now and really didn't want to go through too much trouble for such a bowl of noodles.

"Is this another little bad luck today?" Wang Qiang smiled bitterly in his heart, feeling a little disappointed. He originally thought that this bowl of pig intestine noodles would make him feel better, but he didn't expect that he didn't get it. Thinking of this, he felt irritated and felt that everything was really going wrong today.

He tried to call the takeaway customer service, and said in a calm tone, "Hello, the pig intestine noodles I ordered were delivered to the wrong address. They became plain noodles."

The customer service representative said politely, "I'm very sorry, sir. We will verify and resolve the issue for you as soon as possible. Please wait a moment."

Although Wang Qiang was still a little unhappy, he knew that he was not in a good position to argue with others. He just wanted to solve the matter quickly so that he could have a bowl of hot noodles. After hanging up the phone, he put the noodles aside and waited for the customer service to handle the situation.

As time went by, Wang Qiang became anxious and began to blame himself for being so unlucky today. He caught a cold after being caught in the rain and wanted to comfort himself with a bowl of noodles, but he didn't even get any noodles. All these small setbacks piled up together, making him feel helpless.

Just when he was about to give up and was planning to make do with the bowl of vegetarian noodles, his cell phone rang. It was a call from the takeaway customer service.

"Hello, sir, I'm very sorry. Due to our negligence, the pig intestine noodles you ordered were delivered to the wrong place. We have arranged for a replacement to be delivered and it will be delivered soon. Please wait for a moment."

Hearing this news, Wang Qiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thanked the customer and hung up the phone, thinking that it would not matter if he waited a little longer, as the most difficult time had passed and he would be able to eat the noodles soon.

About twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang again. Wang Qiang didn't dare to neglect it this time. He immediately walked to the door, opened it, and saw the delivery man standing outside again, holding a bag in his hand.

"I'm very sorry, sir, the previous mistake caused you inconvenience. This time it's the pig intestine noodles you ordered. Please check it." The delivery man said apologetically. After taking the bag, he finally felt a little satisfied. Back in the kitchen, he carefully opened the bag, and inside was the pig intestine noodles he had been looking forward to for a long time. The rich aroma hit him in the face, and the familiar taste made him feel refreshed.

Sitting at the table, Wang Qiang couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of pig intestines and put it into his mouth. The familiar taste instantly spread in his mouth. Although today's experience was a bit bumpy, at this moment, all the unhappiness seemed to be diluted by this delicious bite.

As Wang Qiang ate the hot noodles, he felt a warm current flowing from his stomach to his whole body, and the coldness in his body seemed to gradually dissipate. Although many bad things happened today, he finally ate this bowl of noodles, and things finally had a good ending.

"In life, there will always be small setbacks of one kind or another, but what's important is how we face them." Wang Qiang thought silently. He knew that although today's incident was just a small episode, it made him understand the essence of life more clearly - no matter what kind of difficulties and setbacks you encounter, as long as you have a peaceful mind, everything will eventually pass.

Wang Qiang slowly finished the whole bowl of noodles, and his heart became calm. Although his body was still recovering, his mood was much better. This bowl of noodles was not just food, but also a comfort to his mood, which made him find some comfort in this troubled day.

After dinner, Wang Qiang felt more energetic. Although he was still a little weak, the irritability in his heart had subsided. He knew that he still had to face work, but at least he learned from today's experience how to better deal with these unpleasant things.

He decided to lie back on the bed and have a good rest, and then return to work in the courtyard after his body is fully recovered. And today's bowl of pig intestine noodles will become a special existence in his memory, reminding him that no matter what kind of small setbacks he encounters, he must learn to stay calm and optimistic.

One day, Wang Qiang's old friend, Uncle Zhang, came to chat with him and mentioned He Yuzhu in the courtyard. He Yuzhu was a well-known figure in the courtyard. He was not only a cooking expert, but also very popular in the courtyard. Wang Qiang had heard of He Yuzhu's reputation. He knew that He Yuzhu had worked as a chef in a government canteen and had first-class cooking skills. Uncle Zhang told Wang Qiang that He Yuzhu was also considering opening a small restaurant recently, but he was too busy to handle it alone and was in need of a partner.

Wang Qiang was moved when he heard this. This opportunity is not easy to come by. If he can cooperate with He Yuzhu, it will undoubtedly be a great help. But then, he was a little worried. After all, opening a restaurant together is not a trivial matter. Finance, division of labor, and whether their respective business philosophies can match are all problems. However, thinking of his long-cherished dream, Wang Qiang decided to give it a try.

The next day, Wang Qiang went to the Siheyuan to look for He Yuzhu. The Siheyuan is an old-fashioned alley, and the buildings in the courtyard are antique and have a sense of tranquility. He Yuzhu was trimming flowers and plants in the courtyard. When he saw Wang Qiang coming, he greeted him warmly. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two sat in the courtyard and chatted.

He Yuzhu asked straight to the point: "I heard that you are a good cook and have been working as a chef in a restaurant for so many years. Why did you suddenly want to cooperate with me?" He said: "Master He, I have always dreamed of opening my own restaurant, but working alone is too stressful. I heard that you also have this plan, so I thought of asking you.
