Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

The early morning sunlight shines into the kitchen through the window, bringing a touch of brightness and warmth to the entire space.

The leader sat at the table, leisurely sipping a cup of fragrant tea, but his eyes kept looking around.

At this moment, Sha Zhu stood aside, his eyes full of expectation and desire, as if he had thousands of words to say.

The leader noticed Sha Zhu's burning gaze, and his heart couldn't help but move slightly, with a barely perceptible smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

This seemingly simple cook actually has such an extraordinary dream hidden deep in his heart.

And he came here today to become the key person to help Sha Zhu realize his dream.

Just then, Fade Chen walked in.

The moment he stepped into the kitchen, he was stunned - he had never expected that such a distinguished guest would come on such an ordinary morning.

For a moment, Fade Chen was at a loss, but he quickly regained his composure.

He took a deep breath, walked towards the leader, and greeted respectfully: "Hello, leader! I didn't expect you to visit our small kitchen..."

Bow directly to the leader.

The leader smiled and nodded, and said to Fade Chen: "Besides Sha Zhu, I also heard that your cooking skills are extraordinary, so I came here specially to taste it today."

Chen Fei was delighted, knowing that his chance had come.

He turned around and looked at Sha Zhu, feeling extremely grateful.

It was Sha Zhu's persistence and hard work that gave him the opportunity he has today.

Start preparing a delicious meal for the leader.

As the car slowly drove away from the courtyard, Chen Fei was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.

He sat in the spacious car, and the scenery passing by quickly outside the window seemed to foreshadow the extraordinary opportunities that were about to come.

And Sha Zhu became an outsider.

The leader whispered beside him, revealing this unusual mission - cooking for an important person.

The car passed through the bustling streets and finally stopped in front of a quiet villa halfway up the mountain.

Following his leader into the villa, he was dumbfounded by what he saw.

The spacious living room, exquisite furniture, and valuable calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls all demonstrate the noble status of the owner here.

The leader led Chen Fei into the kitchen, which was fully equipped with a wide variety of ingredients.

Chen Fei felt unprecedented challenges and opportunities.

This mission is not only a test of his cooking skills, but also a major turning point in his life.

Chen Fei started to get busy, carefully selecting ingredients and handling the kitchen utensils skillfully.

Every movement he made seemed so focused and confident, as if he was showing his talent and determination to the world.

Just when he was most proud of himself, an unexpected person appeared.

A man in a designer suit walked into the kitchen proudly, his eyes swept over Chen Fei with a hint of disdain and provocation.

Chen Fei had never seen this man before, but he could read a kind of hostility in his eyes.

The man spoke arrogantly: "I heard that your cooking skills are extraordinary. I came here today to see it."

This cooking contest is inevitable.

Chen Fei smiled and responded: "Okay, then please wait and see."

Chen Fei began to prepare dishes more carefully, wanting to prove his worth with his cooking skills and impress this arrogant man.

The man stood aside, observing Chen Fei's every move coldly, waiting for him to make a mistake.

On the kitchen stage, Chen Fei waved the kitchen utensils in his hands like a conductor waving a band, as if he was devoting his whole body and soul to the carefully prepared dishes.

Every cut and every stir seems to speak of his love and persistence for cooking.

Chen Fei did not have a trace of fear in his heart. Facing the provocation of the arrogant man, he chose to speak with strength.

Only the most delicious dishes can conquer this picky eater.

He puts his heart and soul into every dish, hoping to touch the hearts of others with them.

Time passed quietly as he was busy, and Chen Fei finally completed the menu for twelve people.

He stood by the dining table, confidently waiting for the judgment of his leader and the man.

When the first dish was tasted, a gleam of surprise flashed in the leader's eyes, while the arrogant man showed an expression of disbelief.

Chen Fei looked at their reactions with a smile, his heart filled with satisfaction.

It means that you have proved your worth with your strength.

Although the man had a provocative attitude at first, he had to admit that Chen Fei's cooking skills were extraordinary.

After completing the main menu for twelve people, Fade Chen prepared two additional dishes.

He prepared this specially for the arrogant man, hoping to completely conquer his taste buds with these two dishes.

When the last dish was served, the whole kitchen fell into a brief silence.

The leader nodded with satisfaction, praising Chen Fei's cooking skills, and turned to the man and said, "Chen Fei's cooking skills are indeed extraordinary. I believe you have already seen it."

The man didn't say anything, but just nodded silently, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

The leader patted Chen Fei on the shoulder and said, "Your mission is completed, you can leave now."

Chen Fei smiled slightly and prepared to leave this kitchen full of challenges and opportunities.

However, when he turned around, the leader called him.

Chen Fei smiled slightly. He did not become complacent because of the leader's praise. Instead, he became more humble.

The road of cooking is endless, and every success is a new starting point.

The leader handed him an exquisite gift box and said, "This is a small reward from me to you. I hope you can continue to maintain this persistence and enthusiasm."

Chen Fei's heart moved, but he did not take the gift box immediately. Instead, he bowed deeply and said sincerely: "Thank you for your appreciation, but I hope to use my cooking skills to bring delicious food and happiness to more people."

The leader took back the gift box, patted Chen Fei on the shoulder again, and said, "You have a good attitude. I believe you will go further."

......

The car slowly drove away from the villa, passed through lush woods, and finally stopped next to a quiet park.

Chen Fei asked the driver to stop at the park, wanting to take a walk here for a while to calm down.

The driver stopped the car as instructed. After getting out of the car, Chen Fei took a deep breath of the fresh air, feeling the tranquility and harmony of nature.

He strolled along the path, continued walking, passed through a lush forest, and came to a tranquil lake.

The lake water is crystal clear, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and green trees on the shore.

Chen Fei stood quietly by the lake, staring at the ripples on the water, with an inexplicable emotion welling up in his heart.

At this moment, a clear voice broke the silence: "Mr. Chen Fei, what a coincidence, I can meet you here."

Turning around, Fade Chen saw a woman in casual clothes walking towards him.

He was slightly stunned, and then recognized that this woman was the mysterious woman he met outside the courtyard before.
