Siheyuan: Starting a big man's life from a bag of spicy sticks

He Yuqing went to the wet market to sell hot pot base ingredients for one yuan a bag. The business was booming and there was a steady stream of people coming to buy.

Next, let’s get to the point

He Yuqing sells hot pot base ingredients at the vegetable market for one yuan a bag. The business is booming and there is a constant stream of people coming to buy.

"Hello, what do you need?" she asked with a smile, her eyes turning into crescent moons.

The man looked about forty years old, with dark and rough skin. He was wearing a blue and white overalls and holding a cigarette in his hand. He looked at He Yuqing, took a few puffs of smoke and said: "Your store

How does the hot pot base taste?"

He Yuqing was slightly startled: "Are you talking about the hot pot base?"

He nodded and said, "It's the hot pot base!"

He Yuqing smiled and said: "It tastes very good."

After hearing this, he nodded with satisfaction and took two more mouthfuls of Yunwu before continuing: "I came from out of town, and my family is very poor. I can't get used to eating these high-end ingredients, so I want to try this low-end hot pot."

He Yuqing smiled and said: "The hot pot bases in our store are very comprehensive. There are Chinese, Western, Japanese and Korean food. The taste is also very delicious. Do you want to give it a try?"

"Really?" The man's eyes lit up, "Then make two copies for me quickly!"

"Okay!" He Yuqing nodded, turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Not long after, He Yuqing served two plates of steaming red peppers and a bowl of sour soup base.

The man looked at the three dishes on the plate, frowned and said, "Can you eat all of these?"

He Yuqing smiled and said: "I personally prepared these. I guarantee it will suit your taste."

Hearing this, he took a spoonful and put it into his mouth to taste it.

He closed his eyes and looked intoxicated, as if these three dishes were very delicious.

"Yes, the taste is indeed very delicious, even better than those made by the master chefs in the restaurant. This is the so-called talent, right?"

The man's compliment made He Yuqing particularly happy.

"That's right, I made all these myself, so there's absolutely no problem."

"Okay!" The man nodded and said, "Then give me one piece for each person!"

"Okay!" He Yuqing agreed with a smile.

After a while, two plates of food were brought to the table and placed in front of the man.

"Come, try the three new dishes I made!" He Yuqing said.

The man smiled and said: "I still follow the old rules, give me two bowls of noodles first!"

"Okay!" He Yuqing pushed one of the plates in front of the man.

The man looked at the noodles, then tasted the food, nodded and said, "Yeah, not bad!"

The man ate for a while, then suddenly frowned and said, "It tastes a bit weird, this taste..."

"Does it smell weird?" He Yuqing asked.

The man nodded and said, "It tastes weird! I have never seen these three dishes before."

He commented while eating: "Well, this tastes so strange, completely beyond my imagination. I wonder where you got it from?"

He Yuqing said with a smile: "I grew up in the countryside and don't know much about this aspect, but I think these dishes are not bad!"

The man smiled and said, "Really?"

He took another bite, nodded and said, "It tastes really good, I haven't had enough yet!"

He Yuqing smiled and said, "If you think it tastes good, you can come here often in the future."

"Okay!" the man agreed readily, "then if you have any other dishes, I'll try them all."

"Yes, of course!" He Yuqing said with a smile, "But this is the last time. If you come again, we will not entertain you here."

The man nodded and said, "This is natural."

"That's right!" The man took another sip of water and said, "I heard that there is a man named Wang Qiang in your store?"

He Yuqing nodded: "There is such a number one person."

"Oh! That's good, that's good!" the man said with a smile, "Now that he has left, you can just make your hot pot base with peace of mind! I will notify you in advance if any guests come to see you in the future.

you."

"OK."

"Then I won't disturb you and let's go first!"

After saying that, the man turned around and walked downstairs.

He Yuqing watched his back leave.

After his figure disappeared, He Yuqing turned around and walked into the kitchen, closed the door, sat back on the chair, and took a deep breath.

"Phew!" she breathed a sigh of relief.

The attitude of the customer just now was so bad that He Yuqing almost thought that his store would not be able to continue opening.

so far so good!

She was secretly glad.

But who is that man? Why does he know about Wang Qiang’s existence?

He Yuqing was full of doubts as she thought.

But soon, He Yuqing shook her head and threw these messy thoughts away.

The focus now is to make the hotpot restaurant bigger and earn more profits.

...

...

At night, Wang Qiang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly smoking a cigarette.

"Dong dong dong" A knock on the door suddenly sounded. He looked up and saw Zhang Lihua opening the door and walking in.

"Is something wrong?" Wang Qiang said calmly.

Zhang Lihua said: "I have something I want to ask you."

"What's going on?" Wang Qiang asked indifferently.

"What is your relationship with He Yuqing?" Zhang Lihua asked bluntly.

Wang Qiang said: "It doesn't matter, we are just classmates."

"Classmate?" Zhang Lihua didn't believe it. She said, "I think your relationship is unusual. There must be some connection between you and He Yuqing."

"I don't know you." Wang Qiang said coldly.

Zhang Lihua said: "Anyway, she invited you to come to my store for hot pot today. You can't refuse, right? You can be considered a fashion designer!"

"What does this have to do with you?"

Zhang Lihua smiled: "You are so funny. When my store opened, you didn't go to support it, but you drank and chatted with He Yuqing. If others knew about this, how would they arrange it for us?"

"This is my private matter. Who I drink with or chat with has nothing to do with you. Please stay out of your own business." Wang Qiang still had the same cold tone.

Zhang Lihua said: "You don't like me that much? In what way am I inferior to her?"

"There is nothing better than her, but you are not suitable for her, and you are not her type. Please get out of here right away." Wang Qiang said mercilessly, "Also, don't bother her again in the future, otherwise I won't be polite."

Already."

"Hahaha..." Zhang Lihua suddenly laughed wildly, "You really treat yourself like a green onion, just you?"

Wang Qiang's fists were clenched tightly.

"Don't be impulsive. I'm just joking with you. Don't take it seriously." Zhang Lihua said hurriedly, "I'm here specifically to thank you for your help. Without you, I might not be able to continue driving."

"Then please don't appear in front of her. She needs a peaceful life." Wang Qiang said, "Please don't appear in front of us again in the future. I don't want to see you either."

"Okay, I understand." Zhang Lihua nodded and said, "I'm leaving."

After saying that, she left, and the moment she closed the door, a trace of anger and jealousy flashed in her eyes.

She hates Wang Qiang!

She hates that woman.

She vowed to make Wang Qiang regret what she said to her today.

...

"boom--"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Li Juanjuan walked in aggressively.

Wang Qiang was stunned for a moment and asked: "Juanjuan, what's wrong with you?"

Li Juanjuan said angrily: "You have the nerve to ask me? Wang Qiang, let me ask you, why do you want to get involved with that woman He Yuqing? Have you forgotten the vow we made when we were together? We have made a three-part agreement and we respect each other.
