Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

He Daqing nodded to express his gratitude. "Thank you for your suggestion. We will definitely improve the speed of serving the dishes so that everyone can eat faster and more satisfied."

After returning to the restaurant, He Daqing and He Yuzhu began to study how to increase the speed of serving dishes. They decided to add more equipment to the kitchen and optimize the work process. After some adjustments, the speed of serving dishes was indeed improved, and customers were more satisfied.

One night, the restaurant was bustling again. He Daqing stood in the kitchen, watching the busy scene, feeling extremely satisfied. He Yuzhu came over and patted his father on the shoulder, "Dad, we did it. The customers are very satisfied, and our efforts have not been in vain. A tear flashed in his eyes, "Yes, Yuzhu. We have worked together for these years and finally saw the rewards. I am really grateful to have a good son like you. "Dad,"

That morning, He Daqing sat in the kitchen, looking at the morning light outside the window, feeling particularly at ease. He had been thinking about how to make the restaurant business more stable and long-term. He knew that teaching He Yuzhu more cooking skills and experience was the key.

He Yuzhu was busy sorting out the menu early in the morning. Seeing his father sitting there in a daze, he walked over and asked, "Dad, what are you thinking about?"

He Daqing came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Yuzhu, I was thinking that although our restaurant's business is good, if we want to maintain it for a long time, we need to constantly improve our cooking skills. I have a lot of old skills that I want to teach you."

He Yuzhu's eyes lit up, and he said expectantly: "Dad, I just want to learn from you. I have always admired your unique skills. When shall we start? His eyes were full of determination and joy, "Let's start today. I will teach you how to make braised pork first. This dish may seem simple, but it does require some skills to make it look good, smell good, and taste good. He Daqing took out a piece of fresh pork belly and began to explain patiently: "To make braised pork, the first step is to choose the right ingredients. The pork belly should be fat and lean, so that the stewed meat will be fragrant and not greasy."

He Yuzhu listened attentively at the side, his eyes focused, as if he wanted to remember every detail in his mind.

He Daqing cut the pork belly into pieces and started to blanch it to remove the blood foam. He continued as he did so: "Blanching is a critical step to remove the fishy smell. After the water boils, skim off the foam and then drain the meat. Only in this way can the processed meat be clean." He followed his father's steps step by step. He felt that every step was filled with his father's years of experience and wisdom, and his admiration for his father grew stronger.

Next, He Daqing put the processed meat into hot oil and fried it until golden brown, then added rock sugar to stir-fry the sugar color. He patiently explained: "Stir-frying the sugar color is the key to braised pork, this step determines the color and taste of the meat. If the sugar color is fried well, the braised pork will have a bright red color and a sweet taste."

He Yuzhu watched his father's movements carefully and tried to stir-fry the sugar color himself. He Daqing patiently guided his son until he mastered the technique.

When the sugar color of the braised pork is done, He Daqing adds cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and other seasonings, then pours in an appropriate amount of water, adds star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves and other spices, and finally covers the pot and simmers over low heat. He said: "Stewing is the last step of braised pork. You need to be patient and control the heat well to make the meat soft and tasty."

He Yuzhu watched the braised pork boiling in the pot and smelled the aroma, his heart full of anticipation. He felt his father's dedication and patience, and became more determined to run the restaurant better.

Two hours later, the braised pork was finally cooked. He Daqing opened the lid of the pot, and the aroma was fragrant. The bright red braised pork made people salivate. He picked up a piece of meat and handed it to He Yuzhu, "Here, try it."

He Yuzhu took the meat and took a careful bite. He was immediately overwhelmed by the rich flavor. He was full of surprise, "Dad, it's really delicious! It tastes absolutely amazing."

He Daqing looked at his son's satisfied expression and felt extremely relieved and proud. "Yuzhu, this is just the beginning. We still have many dishes to learn, but as long as you are willing, I will definitely teach you all my skills."

A gleam of determination flashed in He Yuzhu's eyes, "Dad, I will definitely study hard and make our restaurant better and better." He Daqing would take time out every day to teach He Yuzhu how to make various dishes. They developed new recipes together and tried new cooking techniques together. Every time He Yuzhu learned a new dish, He Daqing would feel a surge of satisfaction and joy in his heart.

One night, He Daqing and He Yuzhu were busy in the kitchen all day and finally sat down to rest. "Yuzhu, you know, I am really happy to see you working so hard. You are my greatest pride."

He Yuzhu smiled and held his father's hand. "Dad, don't worry. I will definitely pass on your craftsmanship and run our restaurant better and better."

He Daqing has recently become obsessed with making tea eggs. He recalled the aroma of tea eggs that wafted through the streets when he was a child, and decided to try to recreate the flavor. He believes that this simple yet delicious snack will be popular with customers. He Daqing got up early and decided to make a big pot of tea eggs for the restaurant. He came to the kitchen and saw He Yuzhu already preparing breakfast, so he smiled and said, "Yuzhu, I'm going to try making tea eggs today. Come and help me prepare it."

He Yuzhu asked curiously, "Dad, tea eggs? This was a delicacy when we were kids. How are you going to make it?"

He Daqing explained as he prepared the eggs: "Yes, tea eggs are fragrant and easy to carry. We boil the eggs first, and then slowly stew them with tea leaves, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves and other spices. He began to help prepare the spices. They put the eggs in the pot and added cold water to boil. He Daqing looked at the eggs in the pot patiently, recalling the scene of making tea eggs with his mother when he was a child, and his heart was filled with warmth.

After the eggs were cooked, He Daqing gently cracked the eggshells to allow the flavors of the tea and spices to penetrate more easily. He poured the prepared tea leaves, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and appropriate amounts of soy sauce and salt into the pot, and then added some dark soy sauce to adjust the color. Then, he put the cooked eggs back into the pot and simmered them over low heat.

He Yuzhu smelled the rich aroma wafting from the pot and couldn't help asking, "Dad, this tastes so good. How long does it take to cook it for the flavor to be absorbed?"

He Daqing smiled and replied, "It should be stewed for at least two hours to allow the flavor of the spices to fully penetrate the eggs. The longer the time, the better the taste. The aroma instantly filled the room. He Yuzhu couldn't wait to pick up a tea egg, gently peeled the eggshell, took a bite, and said with satisfaction, "Dad, this tastes amazing! The rich tea fragrance and tender egg whites are really the taste of childhood."
