Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

Under the guidance of He Daqing, He Yuzhu gradually mastered the cooking methods of various dishes. The dishes he cooked were colorful, fragrant and delicious, and won unanimous praise from everyone in the courtyard. Sometimes, He Yuzhu would send his dishes to his neighbors to taste, and everyone praised them. Some neighbors even said jokingly: "Xiao Zhuzi, if you open a restaurant in the future, I will be the first to support you!"

As time went by, He Yuzhu's skills became more and more sophisticated. Once, he followed He Daqing to participate in a cooking competition in the city. This was his first time facing the test of the outside world, and it was also the first time he really showed his strength. On the day of the competition, He Yuzhu was so nervous that his palms were sweating, but He Daqing comforted him: "Xiao Zhuzi, relax, use all you have learned in your daily life, don't think about winning or losing, the most important thing is to participate."

During the competition, He Yuzhu remained calm and composed, and he completed every dish perfectly. His dishes were not only exquisite in appearance, but also tasted very good, which made the judges full of praise. In the end, He Yuzhu won the second prize, which was a great encouragement to him.

After the competition, He Yuzhu became more confident. He began to try innovative dishes in the canteen and was appreciated by the leaders. He Yuzhu's fame gradually spread, and more and more guests came to the canteen to try the cooking skills of this young chef. He Yuzhu felt very proud, but he knew in his heart that all this was inseparable from He Daqing's careful teaching.

One day, He Yuzhu found He Daqing in the courtyard and said excitedly: "Master, I have an idea and I want to discuss it with you."

He Daqing put down the work in his hands and asked with a smile: "What's your idea? Tell me about it."

He Yuzhu's eyes sparkled with eagerness: "I want to open my own restaurant and carry forward the traditional skills we have learned! I know it's a difficult road, but I want to give it a try."

After hearing this, He Daqing nodded slightly, secretly delighted. He had long seen that He Yuzhu had this ambition, and now that he heard him say it, he naturally supported it very much. He Daqing said solemnly: "Xiao Zhuzi, this is a good thing, I fully support you. But opening a restaurant is not a trivial matter. In addition to cooking skills, management and operation are also very important. You have to have a comprehensive plan."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Master, I have already started making plans, but I still need your guidance."

In the following days, He Yuzhu worked in the cafeteria and used his free time to learn business management knowledge and began to prepare for opening a store. He Daqing gave him guidance, helped him analyze market demand, select the location of the restaurant, and even personally accompanied He Yuzhu to discuss store leasing matters.

Finally, after several months of preparation, He Yuzhu's restaurant opened. It was a small shop, not located in a particularly prosperous place, but He Yuzhu firmly believed that as long as he had good skills, he could attract customers even in a remote place.

On the opening day, all the neighbors of the courtyard came, and everyone was full of expectations for He Yuzhu's restaurant. He Yuzhu personally cooked and prepared a table of sumptuous dishes, inviting everyone to taste them. He Daqing was also present, and was very pleased to see He Yuzhu busy.

With the opening of the restaurant, He Yuzhu's cooking skills gradually spread far and wide, more and more customers came to the restaurant, and the business was getting better and better. He Yuzhu was not satisfied with this, he continued to innovate dishes, striving to combine traditional and modern tastes, making the restaurant invincible in the fiercely competitive market.

A year later, He Yuzhu's restaurant became famous in the city, and he became a well-known chef in the local area. However, He Yuzhu did not get proud of this. He still worked hard every day to improve his cooking skills. He knew that only by continuous improvement can he gain a firm foothold in this industry.

He Daqing was very pleased to see He Yuzhu grow up. He knew that his wish for many years had finally come true, and He Yuzhu had found his own way. Whenever he saw He Yuzhu busy, He Daqing would feel a little relieved, because he knew that he not only inherited the craftsmanship, but also saw the continuation of the chef's spirit in He Yuzhu.

Although He Daqing is old, he still happily helps He Yuzhu in the restaurant, sometimes cutting vegetables, sometimes chatting with customers. His presence makes the restaurant more friendly and warm, and also allows customers to feel the fusion of tradition and emotion.

He Daqing sat in the corner of the restaurant kitchen, his eyes dim, holding a cup of freshly brewed tea in his hand. He took a sip, but he did not feel warm and satisfied as usual. Instead, a deep sense of depression came over him. He tried hard to cheer up, but this emotion enveloped him like a haze, making him unable to extricate himself.

Recently, He Yuzhu's restaurant business has been booming, with customers packed in almost every day. Young people have flocked to the restaurant, enthusiastically discussing the latest dishes and praising He Yuzhu's cooking skills. He Daqing knows that this should be a happy thing, but he feels more and more uncomfortable and alienated. The kitchen that was once familiar has now become noisy and unfamiliar. He finds that he is gradually unable to keep up with He Yuzhu's pace.

"Master, what's wrong with you? You look a little unhappy today." After finishing his work, He Yuzhu went into the kitchen and saw He Daqing with a worried look on his face. He asked with concern.

He Daqing raised his head and forced a smile: "It's nothing, Xiao Zhuzi, I'm just a little tired, maybe it's because I'm old."

He Yuzhu immediately put down his work, pulled a chair and sat next to He Daqing: "Master, you are really hitting me. You have always been our pillar, and I have learned much more from you than what is written in books. How about we finish work early today, and you go back and have a good rest?"

He Daqing shook his head and waved his hands, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. I just said it casually. Business is so good today, how can I call it a day? Don't worry about me, just do your thing."

Although He Yuzhu responded on the surface, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He grew up with He Daqing, and he knew his master's mood changes very well. This low mood was obviously not just physical fatigue, but some kind of complex deep in his heart. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing that He Daqing seemed unwilling to talk more, he had to give up.

As time went by, He Yuzhu began to notice some changes in He Daqing's behavior. He found that He Daqing no longer guided him as frequently as before, and no longer took the initiative to offer suggestions for improvement. Most of the time, He Daqing just sat quietly by the side, occasionally cutting some vegetables, and more often watching He Yuzhu busy. He felt that his master seemed a little disappointed, but he couldn't put his finger on it for a while.
