Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

On a sunny morning, He Yuzhu stood at the door of He's Restaurant, welcoming the new day. He knew that

The business of He's Restaurant is booming day by day. Every day, new and old customers come to visit. He Yuzhu and He Daqing are very busy. At this time, a mysterious customer appears in He's Restaurant. She is the White Widow, a well-known figure in the Siheyuan area. She is named because of her white hair, but her eyes are as sharp as an eagle, as if she can see through everything.

When Widow Bai walked into the He Family Restaurant, He Yuzhu immediately came to greet her and asked politely, "Hello, what can I do for you?"

The White Widow glanced at the menu and said calmly, "I heard that your pig stomach chicken is very famous. I want to try it."

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement and immediately returned to the kitchen to prepare the pig stomach and chicken ordered by Bai Guafu. He Daqing was busy at the side. He noticed the arrival of Bai Guafu and couldn't help but wonder: This Bai Guafu rarely goes out, let alone patronizes such a restaurant. I wonder why she came here today? He Yuzhu brought out a bowl of hot pig stomach and chicken soup and respectfully placed it in front of Bai Guafu: "Please enjoy it slowly. I hope you like it."

Widow Bai picked up the spoon, gently scooped a spoonful of the pork tripe and chicken soup, and tasted it carefully. Her expression gradually changed from indifference to tenderness, and a trace of praise flashed in her eyes: "It tastes good, and it really lives up to its reputation."

He Yuzhu felt relieved when he heard this comment and smiled: "

Widow Bai put down the spoon and looked at He Yuzhu with a questioning look in her eyes: "Young man, how did your restaurant do it? Why can you make such delicious dishes?" "It's because we put our heart into making every dish, selecting the best ingredients, and cooking them carefully, hoping that every customer will be satisfied."

The White Widow nodded, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Who is your master?"

He Yuzhu knew that the White Widow was referring to He Daqing, so he answered respectfully: "This is my master He Daqing, he is the soul of our restaurant."

At this time, He Daqing came over and said to the White Widow with a smile: "White Widow, long time no see. It is our honor to have you come to our restaurant today."

Widow Bai looked at He Daqing, with a hint of complex emotions in her eyes: "Daqing, I didn't expect you to run a small restaurant here and live a good life." Widow Bai, life must go on. I have retired for many years, and now I just hope to use my cooking skills to bring some warmth and beauty to everyone. A hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes: "Daqing, you have always been such a person, persistent in your dreams and beliefs. I have also heard about your apprentice He Yuzhu, he is very talented and a good seedling."

He Daqing looked at He Yuzhu, his eyes full of satisfaction: "Xiao He is indeed excellent. He has great passion and persistence in cooking. I believe he will go further."

The White Widow was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking about something. Then, she slowly said, "Daqing, I have a request, I hope you can help me."

He Daqing was a little surprised: "White Widow, if you need any help, just tell me."

The White Widow's eyes became firm. "I want to ask you to help me cook a dish that is my old friend's favorite. Every year at this time, I would cook this dish for him to express my grief, but now I am old and can no longer do it."

He Daqing nodded and said gently: "Don't worry, we will definitely do our best. Tell me what the dish is."

The White Widow said slowly, "It's a dessert called 'Lily and Lotus Seed Soup'. It's sweet but not greasy, and it symbolizes a happy marriage and long-lasting happiness."

He Yuzhu felt warm at this. He knew that this was not just a dish, but also a deep emotion. He said firmly to Bai Guafu: "Don't worry, Bai Guafu, I will do my best to make it to your satisfaction. He Yuzhu began to concentrate on studying the recipe of 'Lily and Lotus Seed Soup'. He selected the best lilies and lotus seeds, and repeatedly tried different ratios and heat. Every time he tried, He Daqing would carefully guide him and give him suggestions for improvement.

Finally, after repeated attempts and adjustments, He Yuzhu made a satisfactory "lily and lotus seed soup". He put the dessert in a beautiful bowl and personally served it to White Widow to taste.

The White Widow picked up the spoon, scooped a mouthful, and tasted it carefully. A trace of tears flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "It tastes very good, very similar to the one he liked most back then. Thank you."

He Yuzhu felt a warm current in his heart. He knew that this dish was not only a remembrance of the old friend, but also a token of his love for the White Widow. He said respectfully, "White Widow, as long as you like it, our efforts will not be in vain." He looked at He Yuzhu deeply, his eyes full of gratitude and relief, "Young man, you are very thoughtful and talented. It is a blessing for Daqing to have a disciple like you."

He Daqing smiled and said, "Widow White, you are too kind. Xiao He is indeed a good boy. I am very pleased with his love and persistence in cooking."

The White Widow nodded and stood up to leave: "Daqing, young man, thank you. I will come to your place often in the future."

He Yuzhu and He Daqing sent her to the door and watched her leave. He Yuzhu was filled with emotion. He knew that it was a spiritual touch and sublimation. He silently vowed to cook every dish with care so that more people could feel the care and warmth. The reputation of He's Restaurant was getting higher and higher. When He Yuzhu was busy in the kitchen, he was more like a friend and a relative. He knew, he knew,

As time went by, the reputation of He's Restaurant grew, becoming a gourmet name card for the courtyard and even the entire neighborhood. He Yuzhu and He Daqing were busy in the kitchen every day, full of longing for the future. However, the booming business also attracted all kinds of people, some of whom had ill intentions and tried to seek personal gain from it.

One day at noon, a well-dressed middle-aged man walked into He's Restaurant. He claimed to be the manager of a big hotel and came here to discuss cooperation. He Daqing looked at the man who claimed to be Manager Liu and felt a little suspicious: this man's intention was unclear, and it seemed that it was not a simple cooperation.

After Manager Liu sat down, he got straight to the point and said, "Boss He, Chef He, I heard that your restaurant is doing a booming business and the dishes are excellent. On behalf of our hotel, I hope to cooperate with your restaurant to jointly develop high-end dishes and increase the popularity and profits of both parties."

He Daqing frowned slightly, alert in his heart: such cooperation sounds good, but there must be some unknown motives behind it. He asked calmly: "Manager Liu, can you tell me the specific content of this cooperation in detail?"
