Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Chapter 783 Young People's Ambition 8

At the same time, in the seemingly calm but actually turbulent environment, Liu Guangqi and the other two were still in the clouds, completely unaware of the sinister and malicious plots that Xu Damao was carefully planning and secretly fiddling with behind the scenes. In a dark corner, Xu Damao raised his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smirk, and was thinking about how to use various means to destroy the plans of Liu Guangqi and the other two in order to achieve his own ulterior motives. At this time, Liu Guangqi and the other two were completely immersed in the excitement brought by the highly constructive and forward-looking improvement suggestions put forward by He Yuzhu.

The suggestions put forward by He Yuzhu were like a ray of light in the darkness, pointing them in the direction of progress. They seemed to see the future kitchenware shining in the market, and they were full of longing for a bright future. They were thinking about improving the existing kitchenware as soon as possible, from the polishing of each part to the overall design optimization, from the improvement of functionality to the refinement of appearance, they did not miss any place that could be improved. They couldn't wait to bring these well-designed and carefully crafted good things to the market, so that more people can experience the unique charm of their kitchenware, and let more people use their well-designed and excellent quality good things.

Liu Guangqi looked at the other two people, his eyes full of determination and resolve. He patted the other two people's shoulders vigorously, and the strength of the pat seemed to convey his confidence and strength. His eyes flashed with a firm light like a star, and that light revealed his desire for success and his confidence in the future. He said in a loud and passionate voice: "Brother Zhuzi is right. He is like our guide and has pointed us in such a good direction. We must not let him down! Let's divide the work now, each person will be responsible for different parts, and start to act immediately. Time waits for no one, we must strive to solve these problems in the shortest time possible, so that our kitchenware can appear on the market in a perfect posture as soon as possible."

The other two nodded in agreement after hearing Liu Guangqi's words. Their faces were filled with high spirits, as if telling the world that they were ready to meet the challenge and that no difficulty could stop them from moving forward. They quickly sat together in a tight circle, like a united combat team. They began to discuss the improvement plan in detail, with everyone's eyes revealing concentration and seriousness. Starting with the adjustment of the length of the spatula handle, they carefully thought about what length would be most suitable for the usage habits of different groups of people, whether it would be more convenient to stir-fry a longer one or more convenient to operate a shorter one; then to the curvature and texture design of the kitchen knife handle, they repeatedly gestured, feeling the grip of different curvatures and textures in their hands, and striving to find the most comfortable and practical design. They repeatedly considered every detail, not missing any place that might affect the quality of the kitchenware, and striving to achieve perfection, so that every piece of kitchenware can become a fine product.

After several days and nights of hard work like a race against time, every minute and every second seemed to be infinitely stretched, and seemed to slip away inadvertently. Liu Guangqi and the other two seemed to be in a battlefield full of challenges and opportunities. They worked day and night without any complaints. During the day, they worked in the simple workshop under the scorching sun, their clothes were soaked with sweat, but no one complained of being tired; at night, when the whole world fell asleep, they were still under the dim light, concentrating on adjusting every part of the kitchen utensils, their eyes were full of bloodshot, but they still flashed a determined light.

During these long and tense days and nights, they encountered countless difficulties and setbacks. Sometimes, a seemingly simple design problem made them rack their brains and repeat experiments countless times before they found a solution; sometimes, a small part broke down and they had to run around looking for a suitable replacement. But they never gave up. With their tenacious perseverance and persistent belief in improving kitchenware, they overcame difficulties again and again and moved towards their goal step by step.

Finally, with their unremitting efforts, the improvement of the kitchenware was successfully completed. When they looked at the brand new kitchenware in front of them, it seemed as if they saw that their countless days and nights of hard work and sweat had turned into this exquisite work. Those originally rough surfaces became smooth as mirrors, exuding a charming luster; those designs that once had a single function have now become rich and diverse, full of creativity and practicality. The three of them showed gratified smiles on their faces, and that smile was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and warm. Their eyes were full of pride and satisfaction, as if they were announcing to the world: their efforts were not in vain, they succeeded!

They couldn't wait to show these improved kitchen utensils to everyone, so that more people could understand their achievements and feel their efforts. So they began to carefully plan a display event. After some discussion, they chose a sunny day. The sky was as blue as a gem, without a trace of clouds. The warm sunshine sprinkled on the earth, giving people a vibrant feeling. They were busy in the open space of the quadrangle, building a simple but unique display stand. They built the frame of the display stand with wooden boards and brackets, and then decorated it with colorful fabrics, making the display stand look beautiful and practical. On the display stand were placed various kitchen utensils they had improved, including brand new spatulas, sharp kitchen knives, uniquely designed soup spoons, etc., each of which exuded a unique charm.

In order to let more people know about the exhibition, they posted colorful and eye-catching posters in the courtyard in advance. The posters had the theme and time of the event written in eye-catching fonts, and were accompanied by beautiful pictures of the improved kitchenware, which attracted people at first sight. They went door to door to invite residents in the courtyard to come and watch, and enthusiastically introduced the highlights and significance of the event to everyone.

The news spread quickly in the courtyard like a spring breeze. The residents in the courtyard expressed their curiosity one after another, and everyone talked about it, wanting to know how Liu Guangqi and his team's improved kitchenware was. Some residents said excitedly: "I heard that they have put a lot of effort into this improvement, maybe there will be many surprises!" Some residents said with anticipation: "I have long wanted to see their new kitchenware, and I must go and take a good look this time." However, some people, especially those who have heard Xu Damao's "rumors", still have doubts in their hearts. Xu Damao maliciously spread rumors behind the scenes, saying that their improvements are just for show and have no practical use at all. Influenced by him, these people came to the scene with a mentality of watching a joke. They thought: I want to see what you can do. If it's not funny, it will be too boring. The corners of their mouths slightly raised, with a hint of disdain and ridicule, they walked slowly towards the display stand.

The demonstration officially kicked off amid the eager anticipation of the crowd. The sun poured unreservedly on the open space of the quadrangle, giving the entire scene a warm and bright golden glow. Liu Guangqi stood tall in front of the display stand, his face filled with a confident smile, that smile was like a flower blooming in spring, brilliant and contagious, as if announcing to everyone present: Next, you will witness a feast of kitchenware innovation.

He first slowly picked up the spatula that had been carefully improved. Under the sunlight, the spatula shone with the unique luster of metal, looking particularly delicate. Liu Guangqi gently waved the spatula in the air a few times, the movement was light and smooth, as if the spatula had become a part of his body. Then, he raised his voice and introduced to everyone in a loud and clear voice: "Dear neighbors and fellow villagers, look! The handle of this spatula is not simple. We have specially lengthened it by five centimeters. Don't underestimate these small five centimeters. It plays a big role when cooking! In the past, when we cooked, our hands were too close to the pot, and we would be burned by the splashing hot oil if we were not careful. That tasted very unpleasant. But now it is different. Our hands can be farther away from the pot, just like adding an invisible protective shield to our hands, and we don't have to worry about being burned. What's more, this extended handle also makes the range of stir-frying larger. In the past, when stir-frying, we might only be able to take care of part of the pot, but now the ingredients in the whole pot can be easily flipped, which has greatly improved the efficiency. Think about it, when cooking in the future, you can save a lot of time and energy!"

As he spoke, Liu Guangqi turned around and walked towards the stove that had been prepared. He turned on the stove skillfully, and the blue flame rose instantly. He poured a proper amount of oil into the pot, and when the oil was hot, he quickly poured the cut ingredients into the pot. Then, he picked up the improved spatula and started cooking on the spot. His movements were skillful and smooth. With a slight turn of his wrist, the spatula flexibly turned the ingredients in the pot. The ingredients jumped happily in the pot, making crisp sounds when they collided with the spatula, as if playing a wonderful kitchen symphony. After a while, the pot wafted out an attractive fragrance, which was like an invisible hand, gently hooking the noses of everyone present. Everyone stretched their necks, staring closely at the dishes rolling in the pot, with expressions of surprise and appreciation on their faces. Some residents could not help but exclaimed: "Wow, the aroma is so strong, I know it must be delicious just by smelling it!" Some residents said with envy: "Look at the cooking skills of others, coupled with this improved spatula, it is simply a perfect match!"

Then, Liu Guangqi put down the spatula, wiped his hands with a clean towel, and walked to the other side of the display stand to pick up the redesigned kitchen knife. The kitchen knife gleamed coldly under the light, the blade was extremely sharp, and the handle was designed with ingenuity. Liu Guangqi held the kitchen knife high so that everyone present could clearly see its full appearance, and then said: "Next, I will show you this kitchen knife. Don't underestimate this handle, we have put a lot of effort into it. We redesigned it according to the principles of ergonomics. You can feel it, and now please ask a friend to come up and experience it." As he said, he invited a resident standing in the front row to the stage.

The resident walked up to the stage with curiosity, carefully took the kitchen knife and held it in his hand. A trace of doubt appeared on his face at first, and then, as his hand gently adjusted its position on the handle, his expression gradually became pleasantly surprised. He said excitedly: "Wow, it's really different! This handle fits the palm of my hand very well, and it feels like it was tailor-made for my hand. It's very comfortable. Moreover, when I hold it to cut vegetables, I feel very stable and effortless." Liu Guangqi smiled and nodded, saying: "Yes, this is the original intention of our redesign. The principle of ergonomics is to make tools more in line with human usage habits, so that everyone can use them more easily and efficiently. In the future, when you use this kitchen knife to cut vegetables, you can not only cut faster and better, but also reduce hand fatigue." There was warm applause from the audience, and everyone was full of expectations for this improved kitchen knife.

Several residents couldn't help but walk over, picked up the kitchen knife and tried it out, all with satisfied smiles on their faces. One of them said, "Oh, it's true, the handle is really well designed, it doesn't hurt to hold it in your hand, it must be very easy to cut vegetables."

As the demonstration progressed, more and more people were attracted by Liu Guangqi and his team's kitchenware. They gathered around and carefully observed each piece of kitchenware, and asked Liu Guangqi and his team questions from time to time. Liu Guangqi and his team patiently answered everyone's questions with enthusiastic smiles on their faces.

However, when the event was in full swing, Xu Damao suddenly appeared in the crowd. He was panicked when he saw everyone's enthusiasm for kitchenware. He originally thought that his "rumors" would make everyone lose interest in kitchenware, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect.

Xu Damao rolled his eyes and came up with another plan. He deliberately raised his voice and said loudly: "Humph, don't be fooled by them. Even if this kitchenware is improved, what will happen? Maybe there will be other problems soon. They are just trying to make money, so they are fooling everyone here."

Xu Damao's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples. The originally lively scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned their eyes to Xu Damao with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Liu Guangqi was very angry when he saw Xu Damao making trouble again, but he still suppressed his anger, walked forward and said calmly: "Xu Damao, don't talk nonsense here. Our kitchen utensils are carefully designed and improved. Each one has been strictly tested and the quality is absolutely guaranteed. If you have any questions, you can ask them in person and we will give you a reasonable explanation."

Xu Damao was choked by Liu Guangqi's words, but he still said stubbornly: "Explain? What's there to explain? I saw with my own eyes that your original kitchenware had so many problems. Even if it is improved now, I don't believe it can be much better."

At this time, an old man walked out of the crowd. He was the one who had heard Xu Damao's "rumors" and then saw the improved kitchenware. He glared at Xu Damao and said, "Xu Damao, stop making trouble here. I just tried this kitchenware myself, and it is indeed much better than before. What you said before was completely groundless and was deliberately trying to discredit others."
