Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

He slowly stood up, walked into the kitchen, and began to prepare the ingredients for making dumpling soup. He Daqing took out flour, wheat flour, eggs, several vegetables, and some pickled bacon from the cabinet. He was a little excited and a little nervous, after all, he hadn't made this dish for many years.

"Dad, what are you busy with?" He Yuzhu came in from outside and asked with concern when he saw his father busying around.

He Daqing turned around and smiled, his eyes sparkling. "Yuzhu, I want to make a pot of dumpling soup for you and Xiao'e to taste today."

He Yuzhu was moved when he heard this and came over to help. "Dad, let me help you. Please teach me how to do it."

He Daqing nodded, his heart filled with warmth and satisfaction. He began to teach He Yuzhu how to knead the dough and how to stir it into lumps. The father and son chatted as they cooked, and the kitchen was filled with laughter.

"Yuzhui, do you know that this dumpling soup is your grandmother's specialty? Whenever I was sick as a child, my grandmother would make this soup for me. It was very heartwarming." He Daqing recalled, with a gleam of nostalgia in his eyes.

He Yuzhu listened carefully and felt this special feeling in his heart. "Dad, I must learn it well so that I can do it for you and Sister Xiao'e in the future."

He Daqing smiled and nodded, and continued to instruct his son. When the noodles were ready, they started to cook the soup. He Daqing put the bacon and vegetables into the pot, stir-fried them until fragrant, then added water to boil, and then slowly put in the noodles.

The kitchen was filled with fragrance. He Yuzhu looked at the dumpling soup in the pot with anticipation in his heart. "Dad, this soup looks really good. I can't wait to try it."

He Daqing smiled and said, "Wait a little longer, until the soup is thicker, it will taste better."

After a while, Lou Xiao'e also smelled the fragrance and walked into the kitchen. Seeing the busy figures of the father and son, she smiled and said, "What delicious food are you making? It smells so good!"

He Yuzhu said proudly: "Sister Xiao'e, we are making dumpling soup. Dad taught me how to make it. You must try it later."

Lou Xiao'e felt warm in her heart after hearing this. "Uncle He, you are so great. I have long wanted to try the dumpling soup you made."

Soon, the dumpling soup was finally ready. He Daqing filled a bowl and handed it to Lou Xiao'e. "Xiao'e, try it and see how it tastes."

Lou Xiao'e took the soup, blew it gently, and scooped a mouthful into her mouth. There was a light of surprise in her eyes. "Uncle He, this soup is so delicious, and the taste is so rich."

He Yuzhu couldn't wait to taste it, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. "Dad, this tastes amazing, better than I thought."

He Daqing looked at their expressions, and his heart was filled with satisfaction and relief. He knew that his intentions were recognized by his family, which made him feel extremely happy.

At dinner time, He Daqing, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe sat around the table and enjoyed the dumpling soup together. He Daqing looked at them and felt extremely warm and satisfied.

"Yuzhui, Xiao'e, my mother taught me how to make this dumpling soup, and now I'm passing it on to you. I hope you can pass it on to your children in the future, so that this tradition will continue." He Daqing said with emotion, a warm light in his eyes.

He Yuzhu held his father's hand and said seriously: "Dad, we will definitely do it. This is the taste of our family and also the tradition of our family."

Lou Xiao'e also nodded, tears in her eyes. "Uncle He, we will cherish this taste and pass it on."

After dinner, He Daqing sat in the yard, looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky, his heart filled with peace and satisfaction. He knew that no matter what challenges there would be in the future, his family would face them together and spend every spring, summer, autumn and winter together.

He Daqing has been thinking about how to add some small surprises to his family recently. He recalled the cakes from his childhood, and those sweet tastes always made him miss them. So he decided to buy some cakes to give He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe a small surprise.

One morning, He Daqing got up early, washed up, and prepared to go out. He Yuzhu saw his father was going out, and hurried over to ask: "Dad, where are you going?"

He Daqing smiled, patted his son on the shoulder and said, "I want to buy some cakes for you and Xiao'e to try."

He Yuzhu felt warm in his heart and quickly said, "Dad, I'll go with you. I'm worried about you going out alone."

He Daqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, I can go by myself. You still have work to do, don't delay. I will be back soon."

Seeing his father's insistence, He Yuzhu had no choice but to nod in agreement, but he was still a little worried: "Then Dad, be careful on the road, and call me if anything happens."

He Daqing nodded, picked up the shopping bag, and slowly walked out of the courtyard. Walking in the familiar alley, He Daqing felt particularly relaxed. He slowly walked to an old-fashioned pastry shop. Although the storefront was not big, it always exuded an enticing aroma.

As soon as I entered the store, the shop assistant came up to me warmly and said, "Hello, uncle. What cakes would you like to buy?"

He Daqing smiled and said, "Give me some classic pastries. Please pack a few more. I want to take them back for my family to try."

The waiter quickly packed several kinds of cakes, including soft green bean cakes, sweet red bean cakes, and several kinds of shortbreads with different flavors. He Daqing looked at these cakes with anticipation and joy in his heart.

After paying, He Daqing carried the heavy bag of cakes and walked back contentedly. On the way home, he imagined the expressions of He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe when they saw the cakes, and his heart was filled with warmth.

Back at the courtyard, as soon as He Daqing entered the door, He Yuzhu came up to him and said, "Dad, you're back. What delicious food did you buy?"

He Daqing handed over the bag with a smile and said, "Look, these are the cakes I bought especially for you. Come and try them."

He Yuzhu took the bag, opened it, and his eyes flashed with surprise: "Wow, Dad, these cakes look really good!"

Lou Xiao'e also came over and saw the exquisite cakes. She smiled and said, "Uncle He, you are so thoughtful. These cakes are so delicious."

He Daqing smiled and said, "Try it and see how it tastes."

They sat at the stone table in the yard. He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e each picked up a piece of cake, took a bite, and were immediately conquered by the sweet taste.

"Dad, this pastry is so delicious and fragrant!" He Yuzhu exclaimed, his eyes full of satisfaction.
