Siheyuan: From Canteen Chef to Mayor of Beijing

When He Yuzhu woke up, the room was full of gas, and the previous owner had nearly died in a courtyard house full of schemers.

Taking stock of his belongings, he discovered that after years of work, he had saved only a few dozen yuan. The Qin Huairu family had taken most of his food and savings.

In this life, he first cut off the Jia family's long-standing habit of leeching off him. Then he got his life in order, honed his cooking skills, took on apprentices, and taught them. He also drew on the knowledge he had gained in his previous life to study antiques, agriculture, and business.

Ran Qiuyue once captured his heart, but it was He Xiaoqi who ultimately became his wife.

The couple weathered turmoil, separation, and reunion together, while He Yuzhu rose from head chef of the canteen to a position in government.

While everyone in the courtyard was still quarreling over petty matters, he was already helping develop the city. He eventually became Beijing's executive vice mayor.
