Siheyuan: You Asked Me to Be a Saint, So Why Drive Everyone Mad?

I woke up to find that I’d gone from an IT whiz to Silly Zhu, a gullible fool in a siheyuan courtyard house in the 1960s?

Thankfully, I have a storage space that keeps everything perfectly fresh!

In an era of scarcity, this is my ticket to changing my fate!

Step one: Pickled chicken feet → hot commodity on the black market → rare industrial coupons

Step two: Freshness-preserving storage space → resell out-of-season vegetables and regional specialties → multiply my assets tenfold

Step three: Rare ingredients → get in with top officials → open the capital’s first private dining club

Step four: Beastly neighbors → make them suffer and go bankrupt → get them out of my life for good

My wealth roadmap:

Canteen cook → smuggler → ten-thousand-yuan household → behind-the-scenes tycoon of the capital!

Drafty shack → three-courtyard mansion → private summer retreat!

Help my enemies → support my younger sister → marry the love of my life!

While the beasts in the courtyard scheme over a box of leftovers, I’m already living in a mansion, with an ice-cold cola in one hand and a whole roast duck in the other!

I, He Zhu, swear that in this era, I’ll build a business empire of my own!
