Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

In this way, the two of them packed up briefly, and He Daqing took He Yuzhu to a famous hotel in Beijing. This hotel is located in the downtown area, with luxurious decoration, and luxury cars parked at the door. It is a high-end place at first glance. He Yuzhu stood at the door of the hotel, watching the scene of people coming and going, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous. He had never set foot in such an occasion, and didn't know if he would look out of place.

"Relax, Xiao Zhuzi, we are here to see the world today, don't feel pressured." He Daqing patted He Yuzhu's shoulder with encouragement in his eyes.

The two walked into the restaurant and were led to a table in a corner to sit down. The restaurant was decorated elegantly, the lighting was soft, and the waiters were well-trained. The whole environment made He Yuzhu feel an unprecedented pressure. He looked around involuntarily and found that most of the customers here were well-dressed and their words and deeds revealed a sense of elegance and calmness.

"Master, is it really appropriate for us to come here?" He Yuzhu asked in a low voice. He always felt that he was somewhat out of tune with the surrounding environment.

He Daqing seemed very calm. He ordered a signature dish and then said slowly: "We are here to learn. Don't worry about anything else. You should look at other people's dishes, how they are made, how they are presented, and even how the waiter introduces them. You can learn from all these."

Soon, the waiter brought the dishes. It was a high-end dish with excellent appearance, aroma and taste, and the dishes were exquisitely presented and the ingredients were very carefully matched. He Yuzhu looked at the dish in front of him and couldn't help but think of the dishes he made in He's Restaurant. The difference between the two was obvious at a glance. A complex emotion surged in his heart, with both admiration for these high-end cooking skills and doubts about his current abilities.

"Master, I'm afraid I can't cook such a dish." There was a hint of loss in He Yuzhu's tone.

He Daqing did not answer immediately. Instead, he took a bite of the dish and put it into his mouth, savoring it carefully before saying, "Xiao Zhuzi, what do you think of this dish?"

"The taste is very good, with rich layers, and the presentation is beautiful. I'm afraid dishes of this level are..." He Yuzhu said, his voice gradually lowering. He didn't know how to express the feeling of powerlessness in his heart.

He Daqing put down his chopsticks, took a deep breath, and said earnestly: "You have to know that these dishes are indeed very good, but they are based on countless times of practice and experience accumulation. Although your cooking skills are good now, you still need more practice. This is not to make you feel inferior, but to make you understand that there is still a long way to go."

He Yuzhu nodded silently. He understood what the chef meant, but the subtle sense of loss in his heart could not be dispelled for a long time. He began to think whether he was really capable of such a high level. In the past, he only needed to face ordinary customers, and as long as he made the dishes well and satisfied people, he felt very satisfied. However, now, he realized that being an excellent chef is far more than being satisfied with the current achievements, but to constantly surpass oneself and pursue a higher realm.

After the meal, He Daqing took He Yuzhu around the hotel kitchen. Although he couldn't go in to visit, He Yuzhu could feel the rigorous attitude and high professionalism of the chefs from the atmosphere of the busy kitchen. Every dish was made with great care and no carelessness was allowed.

"See? This is where you need to learn." He Daqing pointed in the direction of the kitchen and said, "Every chef here has gone through years of hard work to achieve what they have today. The same goes for you. As long as you work hard, nothing is impossible."

He Yuzhu nodded deeply. He knew that although he still had a long way to go, he already had a new goal. He wanted to surpass himself and become a truly top chef, not only for himself, but also to live up to the expectations of his master.

When the two left the restaurant, it was getting dark. Walking on the street, He Yuzhu looked at the bustling city lights, and suddenly a firm belief rose in his heart. He no longer doubted himself as before, but felt an unprecedented motivation. As the master said, learning is endless, as long as he keeps working hard, he will definitely realize his dream.

He Daqing seemed to see the change in He Yuzhu, and a gratified smile appeared on his face. He knew that this experience made He Yuzhu truly realize his shortcomings, and at the same time stimulated his greater potential. The road ahead may be more difficult, but he believed that this apprentice would be able to go further.

They slowly walked back to the courtyard and returned to the familiar He's Restaurant. At this moment, He Yuzhu had a new plan in mind. He decided to study and practice harder in the coming days to improve his cooking skills. He understood that only by continuous improvement can he truly stand at the top of this industry.

He Daqing felt satisfied when he saw the resolute expression on He Yuzhu's face. He knew that his apprentice was ready, and no matter what difficulties he encountered in the future, he would face them bravely and move forward.

As night fell, the courtyard gradually became quiet. He Yuzhu lay on the bed, and his mind kept replaying what he saw and heard in the big restaurant today. The exquisite dishes and the busy figures were deeply engraved in his mind. He closed his eyes, and his mind began to think about how to improve his dishes and how to take his cooking skills at He's Restaurant to a new level.

The next morning, He's Restaurant started a busy day as usual. The morning sun shone through the eaves of the courtyard, and the whole courtyard seemed particularly peaceful and warm. He Yuzhu got up early and began to prepare the ingredients, still thinking about his experience in the big restaurant yesterday. He knew that today he could no longer be satisfied with the status quo as usual, but had to constantly challenge himself and look for opportunities to improve.

He Daqing looked at He Yuzhu's back and thought to himself. He knew that He Yuzhu was making rapid progress, but in order for him to truly become a top chef, he still needed to train his grasp of details and sensitivity to taste. So he decided to test and train He Yuzhu in a more detailed way, that is, the ability to taste seasonings.

He Daqing walked into the kitchen and saw He Yuzhu preparing vegetable leaves, so he walked up to him and said, "Xiao Zhuzi, I want to teach you something new today."

He Yuzhu looked up and saw the master's expression. He knew there must be something special. So he stopped what he was doing and looked at He Daqing carefully, waiting for the master's instructions.
