Siheyuan: With the system in hand, the world is mine

Sitting on the spacious and gorgeous dining table, Wang Haoran looked at the sumptuous banquet in front of him with a look of despair. His heart felt as if countless ants were gnawing at it, causing a dull pain.

These precious meats were obtained by him after much hardship and effort! Each of the meat dishes was a rare treasure in the world and was worth a lot of money.

Originally, Wang Haoran planned to take it slow and make a little bit every day to taste it, which would be enough to satisfy his desire for delicious food.

After all, even he himself couldn't be sure what kind of reward he would get the next time he signed in. If there were no such rare ingredients again, then the ones he had now would be one less bite after another!

However, what Wang Haoran never expected was that He Daqing had eaten all the meat, leaving nothing behind.

At this moment, only He Daqing, Wang Xinya and He Yushui were sitting at the dinner table, holding chopsticks and waving them quickly on the table.

They ate with gusto, totally disregarding Wang Haoran's feelings. Seeing that the precious meat dishes with delicious appearance and aroma were almost half finished, Wang Haoran still sat there stupidly, motionless, and didn't even pick up the chopsticks.

He Daqing looked at Wang Haoran in surprise, and asked with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Haoran, are you really not hungry? You know, this table of Manchu and Han banquet is extremely difficult to cook in this era, even if someone has special skills and superb cooking skills! After all, not every family is as rich as you. If you miss this opportunity, you may never be able to taste such delicious food again in the future."

When Wang Haoran heard this, he was shocked, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in disbelief: "What? I can't eat it? Uncle Daqing, what do you mean by this? Do you mean... you have eaten all the meat?" Before he finished speaking, he questioned He Daqing angrily.

He Daqing was somewhat at a loss for words by Wang Haoran's sudden questioning. An awkward look instantly appeared on his face, and he stammered in response, "Well...Haoran, please don't wrongly accuse me. I still left a little for you."

"Is it true?" Wang Haoran stared at He Daqing suspiciously, obviously half believing and half doubting what he said.

"That's absolutely true!" He Daqing assured, patting his chest.

However, at this moment, his eyes flickered involuntarily, and he muttered something that only he could hear: "It is true that a little bit was left... Well, to be precise, it should be a little residue, but no matter what, it was still left."

Wang Haoran was so smart that he immediately noticed the difference in He Daqing's expression, and his doubts grew stronger. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked quickly towards the kitchen, saying harshly as he walked, "Humph, Uncle Daqing, you'd better tell the truth, or you'll just have to wait!"

Seeing Wang Haoran say this, He Daqing didn't dare to let him go to the kitchen. If he knew that all the meat was cooked by him, he would definitely get furious.

So He Daqing quickly stood up and grabbed Wang Haoran, saying firmly, "Haoran, don't you believe Uncle Daqing? Besides, I live in this yard, and I can't get away if I cheat you. Hurry up and sit down to eat. If the food gets cold, it won't taste good. It's not too late to go to the kitchen after you finish eating, don't you think?"

Wang Haoran thought it made sense. He Daqing would live in this yard from now on and couldn't run away, so there was no reason for him to lie to him. Although Wang Haoran still had some doubts in his heart, he didn't think about it anymore at this time. He sat on the chair and started eating.

But what Wang Haoran could never have imagined was that He Daqing actually dared to dance on the tightrope. After all, He Daqing had followed his master into the palace as a chef since he was a child. He prepared a full banquet every now and then, but he had never eaten it. In He Daqing's words, eating a full banquet would satisfy him even if he died immediately.

Wang Haoran sat down slowly and started eating quickly. He Daqing finally relaxed a little after seeing this, and he sat down as well.

While devouring the meal, he kept urging He Yushui beside him: "Yushui, you have to eat quickly, and go back to sleep after eating!"

Hearing his father's urging, He Yushui, with his mouth full, responded indistinctly: "Oh... I see..." Then he quickened the speed of chewing and swallowing, and devoured the dishes on the table like a whirlwind.

Not long after, He Daqing saw that He Yushui had almost finished eating, so he stood up anxiously, pulled He Yushui and walked out the door, as if he didn't want to stay any longer.

However, when his eyes swept across the table where there was still a lot of meat and vegetables left, he couldn't help feeling a little troubled, but he really didn't dare to delay too long.

At this time, Wang Haoran kindly called out, "Uncle Daqing, don't leave in such a hurry! There are so many meat dishes on the table. How can Xiaoya and I finish them all?"

He Daqing was extremely anxious when he heard this, and he muttered to himself, "I have to leave! If you find out that the meat is gone, I will be beaten to death."

However, He Daqing didn't dare to say this out loud, so he could only pretend to be calm and said, "Haoran, you guys take your time eating. Yushui and I are full, so we'll leave first."

After he finished speaking, He Daqing dragged He Yushui along at lightning speed and disappeared from Wang Haoran's house in the blink of an eye. The speed was so fast that it was astonishing, as if there was a flood or a beast chasing them from behind.

Seeing this, Wang Haoran suddenly felt suspicious. He was keenly aware that He Daqing's behavior was very strange. After thinking for a while, he quickly turned around and hurried towards the kitchen.

When Wang Haoran stepped into the kitchen, he was stunned by the sight. The originally neat and tidy kitchen was now in a mess, with pots and pans scattered all over the floor. What made Wang Haoran even more angry was that there was not a single ingredient left.

Seeing this tragic scene, Wang Haoran's eyes instantly ignited with rage, and an extremely fierce look shot out of his eyes. He gritted his teeth and shouted with all his strength: "He Daqing! I can't coexist with you!" This roar was like a bolt from the blue, breaking through the sky and reaching the ears of everyone in the courtyard.

Hearing this sudden shout, everyone in the courtyard was startled. They put down their work and hurried to the gate of Wang Haoran's courtyard, whispering and talking.

"Hey, how did He Daqing offend Wang Haoran? From the sound of his voice, it seems that Wang Haoran wants to eat He Daqing alive!"

"After counting on my fingers, I think He Daqing is going to be in big trouble this time!"

"Reconsideration, reconsideration! I think He Daqing is doomed this time!" Everyone was discussing it, and everyone's face was full of curiosity and surprise.

While everyone was discussing, He Daqing sent He Yushui home, gave him a few instructions, and then quietly ran out of the courtyard. He had to run, because who knew what Wang Haoran could do in his rage. He might as well hide for a while, because maybe Wang Haoran would calm down by tomorrow.

But what He Daqing never expected was that his running away made Wang Haoran even angrier, and the consequences could only be horrific.
