Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

"Mom, you taught me a lot of cooking skills and concepts. Now I am trying my best to carry on your spirit so that more people can feel the warmth and beauty through food." Wang Qiang said silently to his mother in his heart. He knew that his mother in heaven would be proud of him.

In the following days, Wang Qiang devoted himself to the research and development of apple desserts. He tried various methods and ingredients, carefully adjusted the details of each step, and strived to make each dessert perfect.

"Master Wang, what new dishes are you working on recently? I smell the fragrance of apples!" He Yuzhu walked into the kitchen curiously and saw Wang Qiang busy preparing ingredients. He was full of admiration for Wang Qiang's innovation and careful handling of ingredients.

Wang Qiang turned around and smiled as he showed He Yuzhu the apples and ingredients on the table. He said excitedly, "Brother Yuzhu, I'm trying to make some new apple desserts. These apples are very fresh, and I hope to use them to make surprising desserts. What do you think?"

He Yuzhu carefully observed the ingredients on the table. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Master Wang, every time you come up with something creative, it brings surprises and enjoyment. The apple dessert sounds very creative. I look forward to tasting your new creation! If you need any help, remember to tell me. I can help you at any time."

Wang Qiang felt a little warm in his heart after listening to He Yuzhu's words. He knew that He Yuzhu was not only an excellent assistant, but also a friend who understood and supported him. With He Yuzhu's support, he was full of confidence in this attempt of apple dessert, and believed that he could create one amazing gourmet masterpiece after another.

In the following days, Wang Qiang continued to carefully develop and adjust his apple dessert recipe. He kept trying different proportions and cooking methods, striving to perfectly present the freshness and sweetness of apples in every dish. Every attempt was a challenge and growth, and he enjoyed every detail and discovery in the cooking process.

Wang Qiang stood in the kitchen, with apples on the table. He carefully selected the right apples, peeled them, removed the cores, and then cut them into even slices. Every cut was accurate, and his technique was skillful and confident, as if every move was expressing his love and concentration on cooking.

He prepared the dough, rolled it into a thin round, spread it carefully on the baking sheet, and evenly spread the sliced ​​apples on the dough, carefully arranging them for both aesthetics and to make the flavor more even.

"Master Wang, the aroma of apple pie is so tempting!" He Yuzhu walked into the kitchen and saw Wang Qiang busy preparing the next step. His face was filled with an expectant smile, full of excitement and anticipation for the delicious food that was about to be completed.

Wang Qiang turned around and said to He Yuzhu with a smile: "Brother Yuzhu, you came at the right time. These apple pies will be put into the oven soon. Do you want to try a bite?"

He Yuzhu nodded, walked over to Wang Qiang excitedly, and leaned close to the baking tray to smell the aroma of apples and spices. "Master Wang, your cooking is amazing. I look forward to every dish you make, and every time it brings me surprises."

Wang Qiang was filled with satisfaction and relief after hearing He Yuzhu's praise. He knew how precious and important it was to be understood and recognized. He Yuzhu was not only his colleague, but also a friend who could truly appreciate and share his cooking achievements.

“Brother Yuzhu, you are too polite. I love cooking, and I am very happy to see that everyone likes my food.” Wang Qiang said frankly, his eyes revealing his sincere love for cooking and his expectation of satisfying his customers.

He Yuzhu nodded. He knew that Wang Qiang's passion for cooking was unshakable. This focus and persistence made him respect Wang Qiang even more. In the He family compound, Wang Qiang was not only a chef, but also an artist who expressed emotions and created beauty through cooking.

The apple pies slowly turned golden and crispy in the oven, emitting a mouth-watering aroma. Wang Qiang carefully took them out and set them aside to cool, waiting for the final decoration and plating. He took a deep breath of the aroma in the hot air, and his heart was filled with satisfaction and pride in his work.

At the beginning of the dinner, apple pies were placed on the table, becoming a highlight on the table. Every guest tasted it with great interest, and all of them praised Wang Qiang's skill and creativity. Wang Qiang watched everyone enjoying his cooking, and his satisfaction was beyond words.

Wang Qiang stood at the gate of the He family compound. He looked around, his heart full of memories and emotions about the time he spent here. He Yuzhu and other kitchen helpers had left, leaving only his lonely figure. In these days, he not only learned cooking skills here, but also met many kind and enthusiastic people. All of this will become a precious part of his cooking career.

Wang Qiang opened the door and walked out of the courtyard. The sun shone on him, warm and comfortable. His mind could not help but emerge with the next plan and goal. Although he had achieved considerable success in the He Family Courtyard, he knew that he still had a long way to go on the road of cooking.

Back home, Wang Qiang began to organize his kitchen. This small space witnessed his countless creativity and efforts. He checked the ingredients in the refrigerator and prepared to use the remaining ingredients ingeniously. In the world of cooking, every ingredient has its unique value and possibilities, and Wang Qiang is a person who is good at discovering and utilizing these possibilities.

He turned on his computer and started browsing some of the latest cooking techniques and recipes. He believed that only by constantly learning and trying could he maintain his creativity and competitiveness. He vowed in his heart that every dish he made would be a new breakthrough and progress, both in taste and in presentation.

"Hmm, it looks like I can try this new way of making French roast chicken tomorrow, combining some of the techniques I learned before." Wang Qiang muttered to himself as he studied the recipe on the screen, thinking about how to incorporate his own style into it.

However, despite his passion and vision for cooking, he could not completely erase the warm and friendly memories he had encountered in the He Family Courtyard. In particular, He Yuzhu, whose loyalty and support had an immeasurable impact on Wang Qiang's growth. The days they worked together in the kitchen were not only a technical exchange, but also a spiritual exchange and understanding.
