Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Chapter 781 Young People's Ambition 6

In that slightly small room that was filled with light due to joy, the three of them hugged each other tightly, as if time had stopped for them at this moment. Their bodies trembled slightly, and their hands unconsciously clenched tighter and tighter, as if they wanted to integrate each other's strength into this warm embrace. Excited tears kept rolling in their eyes, and the crystal tears sparkled like the bright stars in the night sky, carrying the hardships and difficulties they had gone through.

Looking back on those days and nights, they devoted almost all their efforts to the development of this set of kitchenware. Countless nights, when others were immersed in sweet dreams, they were still studying the drawings repeatedly under the dim light, arguing over the design of a small part; countless experiments, they were busy in the kitchen, sweating profusely, adjusting the heat and testing the performance again and again, and starting over again after failure, never discouraged. Every setback was like a mountain pressing on them, but they always gritted their teeth and persisted, relying on their tenacious perseverance and persistent belief in the development of kitchenware, and walked through it step by step.

Now, looking at this set of kitchenware that embodies their countless efforts and sweat, they are filled with satisfaction and pride. This hard-won success is like a beam of warm sunshine that penetrates the haze they have experienced and illuminates their way forward. It is not just a simple set of kitchenware, but also the best reward for their day and night efforts and an affirmation of their persistence and hard work.

After a brief celebration, their eyes gradually calmed down from the ecstasy, but a stronger sense of mission surged in their hearts. They knew that the value of this set of kitchenware should not be limited to their own use. It is like a pearl buried in the sand, with huge potential waiting to be discovered. If it can be promoted and more people can understand its advantages and convenience, it may bring changes to more people's lives. Maybe this can also become an opportunity for them to start a new career journey, a turning point that changes their destiny.

Liu Guangqi was the first to calm down from his joy. He took a deep breath, his eyes revealing determination and wisdom. He gently patted Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiecheng on the shoulders, and that powerful movement seemed to convey a kind of strength and determination. He said in a steady tone: "We now have such good kitchenware. This is the result of our hard work. We must let more people know about its goodness. However, before promoting it, we can't take it lightly. We have to check it carefully again to ensure that every set of kitchenware is as perfect as our current set. After all, only with excellent quality can we win the trust of consumers and gain a firm foothold in the market."

Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiecheng nodded in agreement after hearing what Liu Guangqi said. Their eyes were also full of seriousness and concentration, as if they were ready to face new challenges. So the three of them gathered around the kitchen utensils again and began to conduct a comprehensive and detailed inspection of the kitchen utensils.

Liu Guangfu first squatted down and carefully checked the stability of the pot rack. He gently shook the pot rack with both hands to feel its stability, and his eyes were fixed on every connection point, not missing any place that might be loose. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his expression was focused and serious, as if he was treating an extremely precious work of art.

Yan Jiecheng picked up the iron pot, placed it on the stove, and began to test its thermal conductivity. He turned on the stove, observed the burning of the flame, and felt the temperature change of the iron pot during the heating process. While testing, he muttered to himself and recorded various data. His eyes revealed the rigor and seriousness of a scientist, not missing any subtle changes.

Liu Guangqi was on the side, coordinating the overall situation and reminding them from time to time to pay attention to some details that are easy to overlook. He pointed at this part and looked at that data to ensure that no link was missed during the entire inspection process.

The three of them were like a group of skilled craftsmen who conducted a comprehensive "physical examination" of the kitchenware, not letting go of any possible small flaws, because they knew that only by achieving perfection could this set of kitchenware stand out in the market and realize their dream of starting a new business journey.

In a spacious and bright workshop filled with various tools, Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiecheng gathered around the carefully crafted kitchenware, their eyes focused and serious. They first came close to carefully examine every part of the kitchenware, from the sharp and smooth blade, to the sturdy and exquisitely designed pot handle, to the unique shape and excellent sealing pot lid, not missing any details. Then, they reached out and gently touched the surface of the kitchenware, feeling the delicate and uniform texture, as if touching a precious work of art. Afterwards, Liu Guangqi picked up a kitchen knife and waved it gently in the air a few times, listening carefully to the crisp and pleasant sound of the knife, with a satisfied smile on his face. Liu Guangfu put a pot on the stove and poured some water into it, observing the distribution of the water in the pot and the uniformity of heating, nodding and praising. Yan Jiecheng was not idle either. He picked up a small kitchenware accessory and fiddled with it repeatedly, testing its flexibility and durability. After a comprehensive and detailed inspection and testing, the three of them finally confirmed that this set of kitchenware was flawless and perfect, both in terms of its exquisite appearance and its internal quality and performance.

After confirming that everything was correct, Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiecheng slowly straightened up and looked at each other. At that moment, their eyes were full of confidence and expectation, as if they had seen the kitchenware shine in the market. They all knew very well that although this kitchenware had shown a very high level under their careful construction, it was far from enough to rely on their own judgment to truly verify its practicality and market potential. After all, they were just the manufacturers of kitchenware, and there might be certain limitations for various situations and needs in actual use. Therefore, they needed to find an experienced, skilled cook who was quite prestigious among the neighbors to try out this kitchenware. Only through his personal use and real evaluation could they more accurately understand the advantages and disadvantages of this kitchenware, thus providing a strong basis for subsequent promotion and improvement. And in this area, He Yuzhu was undoubtedly the best candidate.

He Yuzhu is a well-known figure in the Siheyuan and even in the surrounding area. He is called "Silly Zhu", but behind this "silly" word, he hides his shrewdness and superb cooking skills. Although he is usually careless and informal, he seems to be a different person when he is in the kitchen, with focused and sharp eyes and skillful and flexible techniques. Whether it is stir-frying, frying, stewing, boiling, steaming, frying, roasting, or braising, he can do it with ease, and the dishes he makes are delicious and mouth-watering. His cooking skills have not only been unanimously praised by the neighbors in the Siheyuan, but even the owners and chefs of some surrounding restaurants often ask him about cooking. Moreover, He Yuzhu is enthusiastic and righteous, treats friends sincerely and frankly, and always lends a hand without hesitation when there are any difficulties between neighbors. At the same time, he has always been open and curious about new things, likes to try new cooking methods and kitchen utensils, and constantly explores and innovates. Liu Guangqi and his colleagues felt that if someone like He Yuzhu, who not only had superb cooking skills but also had a good reputation and an open mind, could recognize and praise this set of kitchenware, then the road to promoting this set of kitchenware among neighbors would undoubtedly be much smoother, and it might even attract attention and repercussions in a wider market.

Thinking of this, Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiecheng no longer hesitated, and they acted quickly. They carefully arranged the finished kitchen utensils one by one, wiped them carefully with soft cloth, and then gently put them into a special packaging box. During the packing process, every movement they made was very gentle, for fear of accidentally damaging this set of carefully crafted kitchen utensils. After packing, they carefully checked whether the packaging was firm to ensure that the kitchen utensils would not be damaged during transportation. After everything was ready, the three of them walked out of the door of the workshop with trepidation and excitement, and walked towards He Yuzhu's house.

Along the way, the sun shone on them, warming them, but their minds were not on the warm sun at all. The scene of He Yuzhu trying out the kitchen utensils kept appearing in their minds, and they were enthusiastically discussing what He Yuzhu might say. Liu Guangqi said excitedly: "I think Brother He will definitely like this set of kitchen utensils. Look at this knife, it's so sharp, it will definitely cut vegetables quickly and neatly."

Liu Guangfu also continued, "Yes, and this pot heats evenly, so the dishes cooked here will definitely taste more delicious. After using it, Brother He will definitely be full of praise."

Yan Jiecheng was a little more cautious. He said, "Having said that, Brother He is a master chef after all, and he has high requirements for kitchen utensils. Maybe he will find some small problems that we haven't noticed during use."

Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu thought it made sense, and the excitement on their faces faded a little, replaced by a trace of worry. They hoped that He Yuzhu would praise the kitchenware, so that their efforts would be recognized and the road to promotion would be smoother; but they were also worried that they would hear some shortcomings, after all, it meant that they still needed to make further improvements and perfection to the kitchenware. In this way, they walked towards He Yuzhu's house step by step in the interweaving of expectation and worry.

Arriving at the door of He Yuzhu's house with its quaint charm, Liu Guangqi took a deep breath, trying to calm his nervous and expectant mood, then slowly raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times. The knock was neither too loud nor too soft, and it was particularly clear in this quiet courtyard.

After a while, there was a creaking sound from the door hinge, as if the years were gently telling the story of the past. Then, the door creaked open slowly, and He Yuzhu's tall and familiar figure instantly appeared at the door. He was wearing a blue cloth shirt that was washed a little white but clean and tidy. His sleeves were casually rolled up, revealing his strong and calloused arms, which were the marks left by long-term busy work in the kitchen. His hair was a little messy, but it revealed an unruly casualness. He had that signature honest smile on his face, but at this moment, there was a bit more surprise and enthusiasm in this smile.

He Yuzhu opened his eyes wide, looked at Liu Guangqi and the other two standing at the door, grinned and said, "Hey, why are you three here? You came all the way here without even telling me in advance. Come in, come in! Don't stand at the door." As he spoke, he stepped aside to make way and waved enthusiastically towards the house, as if he was welcoming old friends he hadn't seen for many years.

Liu Guangqi and the other two quickly responded with a smile and stepped into the house. The layout of the house was very simple and plain, but it was well organized. An old eight-immortal table was placed in the middle of the room, surrounded by several wooden benches, and a set of tea sets with some paint peeling but wiped clean was placed on the table. There were several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. Although they were not works of famous artists, they also added a bit of cultural atmosphere to this small house.

Liu Guangqi walked forward with a smile, and carefully handed the tightly packed kitchen utensils in his hands to He Yuzhu, his face full of sincerity and expectation: "Brother Zhuzi, the three of us have been tinkering in the studio whenever we have free time recently, and we finally made a new set of kitchen utensils. So, the first thing I thought of was to give it to you to try. You are an expert in this area. In our area, everyone knows that you are a great cook and you know a lot about kitchen utensils. Your opinion is very important to us. With your guidance, we feel at ease."

He Yuzhu took the kitchenware and felt it was heavy in his hand. The weight made him curious about the kitchenware. He gently placed the kitchenware on the table next to him and slowly unpacked it, muttering, "Hey, you guys really made something. I want to see what it is." When the package was completely opened and a brand new set of kitchenware appeared in front of him, his eyes lit up instantly, with a hint of curiosity that was hard to conceal. He first picked up a kitchen knife, weighed it in his palm, felt its weight and balance, then gently touched the blade with his fingers, and said with a slight smile: "Wow, this knife looks sharp, I wonder how it is to use." Then, he picked up a pot, carefully observed the material and workmanship of the pot, and touched the inner wall of the pot with his hand to feel its smoothness, and said to himself: "The material of this pot seems to be a bit special, I wonder how its thermal conductivity is." After putting down the pot, he picked up other small kitchen utensils one by one and looked at them. Finally, he looked up at Liu Guangqi and the other two, and said with a hearty smile: "Okay, then I'll try it and see what's so special about this new kitchen utensils. If it's really good, I'll have to promote it to you."

As he spoke, He Yuzhu moved the kitchen utensils into the kitchen and started to get busy. Liu Guangqi and the other two followed behind, staring closely at He Yuzhu's every move, not daring to breathe. He Yuzhu skillfully prepared the ingredients and then started to cook with the new kitchen utensils.

He first placed the iron pot on the stove, turned on the stove, and the flames instantly rose. He Yuzhu carefully observed the contact between the flames and the iron pot, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on his face: "Hey, this pot conducts heat very quickly, and the heat is evenly distributed."

Hearing He Yuzhu's praise, Liu Guangqi and the other two were delighted and smiled unconsciously. Then, He Yuzhu began to stir-fry the ingredients. His movements were skillful and smooth. The spatula flew in the iron pan and the ingredients jumped happily in the pan.

"This pot stand is very stable. It doesn't shake at all when I'm frying. It's very easy to use." He Yuzhu continued as he stir-fried the food.

As delicious dishes came out of the pot, the kitchen was filled with tempting aromas. Liu Guangqi and the other two smelled the aroma and their stomachs growled, but they were more concerned about He Yuzhu's final evaluation of the kitchen utensils.

He Yuzhu brought the prepared dishes to the table and invited Liu Guangqi and the other two to sit down and taste them. He picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully, with a satisfied look on his face: "Well, not bad, not bad, the dishes made with this new kitchenware seem to taste more delicious. And this kitchenware is easy to use, which can save a lot of time and energy."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Liu Guangqi and the other two finally felt relieved. They talked excitedly, their eyes sparkling with longing for the future.
