Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

Chapter 178: Inescapable Dead End

In this state of mind, Wang Qiang decided to take practical actions to bring real business to everyone. He began to examine the business model of Siheyuan, find out the problems, and work hard to improve it. He decided to improve the quality and taste of the dishes, strengthen the training and management of employees, to ensure that customers can enjoy the best service and food.

At the same time, Wang Qiang also realized the need to strengthen fire prevention and safety management. He began to contact the fire department and arranged for employees to participate in fire emergency drills and training to improve everyone's fire prevention awareness and response capabilities. He was determined to solve the safety problem fundamentally to ensure the safety of employees and customers.

During this process, Wang Qiang also did not forget to care and take care of He Yuzhu. He went to the hospital to visit He Yuzhu every day, cared about his recovery, and promised to do everything he could to help him get back on his feet. He knew that He Yuzhu was an important member of the Siheyuan and also his friend, and he would not let him be alone in his predicament.

In the kitchen of the courtyard, Wang Qiang stood by the stove, looking intently at the steaming braised spareribs, stirring the pot with a spoon, and a strong aroma filled the air. He prepared this braised spareribs with great care, and after many adjustments, he finally achieved the ideal taste and flavor in his mind.

"Master Wang, these ribs look great!" a young apprentice in the kitchen came over and exclaimed.

Wang Qiang smiled and nodded, feeling satisfied with his efforts. These days, he has been constantly trying and improving dishes and constantly improving his cooking skills. He knows that only through unremitting efforts and continuous practice can he make progress and cook delicious food that satisfies customers.

At the same time, Wang Qiang was also thinking about how to better run Siheyuan. He realized that in addition to the taste and flavor of the dishes, the quality of service and the environment are also important factors in attracting customers. He decided to strengthen the training of employees, improve their service awareness and skills, so that customers can experience a better dining experience.

"Master Wang, the dish is ready!" Another kitchen apprentice came over and placed a plate of fragrant braised pork ribs in front of Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang took the plate, carefully looked at the presentation and color of the dish, and nodded with satisfaction. He knew that this dish would become one of the signature dishes of Siheyuan and attract more customers to patronize here.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's work together and we will make Siheyuan better and better!" Wang Qiang encouraged the apprentices in the kitchen.

In the kitchen of the courtyard, Wang Qiang stood beside the steaming stove, his expression was a bit complicated. Although the spoon in his hand gently stirred the pot, his thoughts were erratic, as if he was troubled by something.

"Master Wang, what's wrong with you? You look a little weird." A young apprentice asked curiously.

Wang Qiang smiled slightly, trying to hide his inner anxiety, but he couldn't completely hide it. He was silent for a while, then said softly: "Nothing, maybe something is bothering me a little."

"Is the kitchen work a bit busy? I can help you share some of the work." The apprentice said with concern.

Wang Qiang shook his head and looked at the young man with gratitude, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that although he faced many difficulties and challenges, there was also such a group of young people willing to fight side by side with him, which made him feel comforted.

"Thank you for your concern, but these are all my responsibilities and I will do my best to handle them." Wang Qiang replied gently.

The apprentice nodded, but still felt that something was wrong with Wang Qiang's expression. He knew that Master Wang had always been an optimistic and strong person, but today he seemed a little different, as if he was worried. This made him worried.

"Master Wang, if you have any troubles, you can tell us, maybe we can help." The apprentice tried to break the silence and share his troubles with Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang felt a pressure in his chest, and his breathing seemed to become rapid. This familiar feeling of anxiety came over him again, making him feel as if he was trapped in a maze from which he could not escape. He tried hard to control his emotions, but the confusion in his heart became more and more intense.

"Master Wang, you look really uncomfortable." Another chef came over with concern, his brows furrowed.

Wang Qiang forced a smile, trying to make himself look calmer, but he knew that his expression could no longer hide the pain in his heart. "It's okay, maybe I've been too busy with work recently and I'm a little tired."

"Are you sure?" The chef didn't seem to believe what Wang Qiang said. He stared at Wang Qiang firmly, as if he wanted to see the truth from his eyes.

Wang Qiang was silent for a moment. He knew he couldn't hide it any longer. He took a deep breath and finally said, "Actually, something happened recently..."

In the kitchen, Wang Qiang told the chef about the difficulties he encountered. He described the process from easy to difficult, and expressed his inner troubles and helplessness without reservation. The chef listened quietly, his eyes full of understanding and sympathy.

"Master Wang, I understand how you feel." The chef patted Wang Qiang's shoulder gently, "But you have to remember that we are not alone, we are a team. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together and solve them together."

In the kitchen, Wang Qiang felt like he was trapped in an invisible cage, unable to move freely. He looked at the ingredients and kitchen utensils in front of him, feeling helpless and frustrated.

"Master Wang, is there anything I can help you with?" the head chef asked with concern. He noticed the anxious expression on Wang Qiang's face.

Wang Qiang shook his head. Although he was very grateful for the chef's concern, he knew that this dilemma could not be solved by simple fatigue. "No, thank you. I just have some things to take care of."

"Okay, let me know if you need any help." The chef patted Wang Qiang on the shoulder, turned and left.

Watching his back disappear at the end of the kitchen, Wang Qiang was filled with emotion. He knew that the support of the team was important, but in the face of certain problems, he had to face them alone, and no one could replace his responsibilities and decisions.

Wang Qiang began to think about his situation. He needed to find a way out of the predicament, but he was helpless at the moment. Under this constraint, he felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness, as if he was trapped in a dead end from which he could not escape.
