Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world

After He Yuzhu instructed He Yushui, Zhang Wanru and Qin Jingru to take good care of Zhang Wanting, he followed Gu Qing to his home.

He Yuzhu put a lot of thought into preparing this meal of Tan's cuisine.

He personally goes to the market to select the freshest ingredients, and carefully crafts each dish to perfection.

He knew that this was not just a meal, but also an expression of gratitude to Gu Qing and Shen Jihuan.

At Shen Jihuan and Gu Qing's house, He Yuzhu was busy in the kitchen.

He took out the precious ingredients such as sea cucumbers and shark fins that had been prepared long ago, his eyes focused and serious.

He Yuzhu soaks the sea cucumbers skillfully. This process requires great patience. He observes the changes in the sea cucumbers from time to time to ensure that they reach their best condition.

Next, he began to process the shark fins, carefully washing them and removing impurities.

In front of the stove, He Yuzhu lit the fire, and the dancing flames seemed to be cheering him on.

He first heated the pan and poured in a proper amount of oil. When the oil temperature reached the right level, he added onion, ginger, garlic and other seasonings into the pan and stir-fried them. The aroma filled the air instantly.

Then, he put the processed sea cucumbers into the pot and stir-fried them gently to allow the flavor of the seasoning to fully penetrate the sea cucumbers.

He Yuzhu is particularly attentive when it comes to cooking shark fin.

He uses the traditional Tan cuisine cooking method, stewing it over a slow fire to slowly release the delicious flavor of the shark fin.

The soup in the pot was bubbling, and the rich aroma filled the entire kitchen.

He Yuzhu adjusts the heat and adds seasonings from time to time to ensure that every dish has a perfect taste.

After several hours of careful cooking, the delicious Tan family dishes are finally ready.

The exquisite presentation and tempting aroma make people salivate at the sight.

When Gu Qing saw the table of exquisite Tan family dishes, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and take the first bite.

The wonderful taste spread on the tip of the tongue, and Gu Qing was conquered instantly.

He exclaimed: "Mr. He, the Tan family cuisine is indeed well-deserved. Your cooking skills are truly amazing.

I once tried Tan’s cuisine in Hong Kong in my early years, and the taste has been unforgettable to me. Today, I tasted it again and found it even more delicious.”

And Shen Jihuan also said, "Gu Qing, Brother Zhuzi's cooking skills are among the best in Jingzhou. We are lucky enough to eat the dishes he cooked himself..." Shen Jihuan also echoed.

He Yuzhu smiled modestly and said, "Doctor Gu, Sister Jihuan, you are too kind. You and Jihuan have done your best for Wanting's illness. I will always remember this kindness. As long as you like it..."

Gu Qing was tasting the dishes while communicating with He Yuzhu.

“Mr. He, I have always believed that a doctor’s duty is to save lives and heal the wounded, but your cooking skills can also bring warmth and comfort to people.

Food has a unique charm. It can give people strength when they are tired and bring comfort when they are sad.

Just like this Tan family cuisine, it has a long history and profound cultural heritage.

It is said that Tan's cuisine originated in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, and was created by Tan Zongjun and his son.

Tan’s cuisine is famous for its seafood and dried goods, which are characterized by their original flavor and mellow taste.

At that time, Tan’s cuisine was highly sought after by dignitaries and nobles.”

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Doctor Gu knows a lot about the history of Tan's cuisine. Tan's cuisine does have a unique charm. It is not only a delicious dish, but also a cultural heritage.

As the inheritor of Tan’s cuisine, I feel a great sense of responsibility. I hope that through my cooking skills, more people will understand and love Tan’s cuisine.”

Gu Qing nodded slightly and continued, “Mr. He, your cooking skills are not only a display of skills, but also a love and persistence for life.

From these dishes, I can feel your attention to every detail and your respect for the ingredients. ”

He Yuzhu said with emotion: "Doctor Gu, you are right. For me, cooking is not just a job, but also a life attitude.

I hope to bring delicious food and happiness to people through my hands.

Just like you as a doctor, you use your medical skills to save lives and bring hope to people. "

As the communication deepened, the mutual appreciation between the two became stronger. It was as if they had found a soulmate, and their hearts resonated with each other at this moment.

"Mr. He, if we have the chance in the future, we must communicate more. I believe we can learn a lot from each other." Gu Qing said.

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement: "Doctor Gu, I also look forward to communicating with you again. I am deeply inspired by your love for food and your understanding of life. I believe that our friendship will become deeper because of this exchange."

After this meal, the relationship between He Yuzhu and Gu Qing improved a lot.

Seeing this, Shen Jihuan smiled and said, "Brother Zhuzi, since your Tan family is doing so well, why don't you open your Heji Restaurant in Hong Kong?"

"Jihuan, I have the same idea, but your sister-in-law's illness requires money to maintain her life, and I may not have extra funds to invest..." He Yuzhu was a little worried. The most important thing in his mind now was Zhang Wanting's illness.

"You don't have to worry about the funding issue. Just cook the Tan family dishes..."

"How will the shares be distributed?"

"Brother Zhuzi, how about we each hold 50% of the shares?"

"Ji Huan, this is a good idea. Let me think about it carefully!"

Shen Jihuan smiled and said to He Yuzhu enthusiastically: "Brother Zhuzi, think about it carefully. If you come to Hong Kong to open He Ji Restaurant, you can take care of your sister-in-law closely and run your own business at the same time. This is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone."

"Mr. He, Ji Huan's idea is good. You should consider it carefully." Gu Qing also agreed.

He Yuzhu frowned slightly, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, and said slowly: "Ji Huan, can this really work? Although my Tan's cuisine is well-known in our place, I am unfamiliar with Hong Kong. Can it really work? I really have no idea. Moreover, you provide the full capital, and I provide Tan's cuisine, but we hold equal shares. Don't you think you are at a disadvantage..."

Shen Jihuan's eyes were firm and his tone was full of confidence as he responded, "Brother Zhuzi, you think too much. Who are we talking to? Why are you still fussing over this? Your Heji Restaurant is so famous, how can I suffer any loss?"

"Also, don't underestimate your Tan family cuisine. Tan family cuisine is a unique one. Whether it's the color, aroma, or cultural heritage of the dishes, it's top-notch.

In Hong Kong, an international metropolis, people’s pursuit of delicious food is endless. As long as we promote the reputation of Tan’s cuisine, it will surely be very popular.”
