Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

He Daqing and she have a deep friendship. The two families often visited each other when they were young. Although they visit each other less often now, they still retain the friendship of old neighbors.

"Perhaps, I can ask the deaf old lady for help." He Daqing thought to himself. Although she was old, she was experienced and had great prestige in this neighborhood. With her help, she might be able to help He Yuzhu solve some unnecessary troubles.

He Daqing walked towards the deaf old lady's house while thinking. He stood at the door and knocked gently. After a while, the deaf old lady slowly opened the door.

"Hey, Daqing, what's the matter with you looking for me so early?" Although the deaf old lady had poor hearing, she had sharp eyes. When she saw He Daqing, she immediately greeted him warmly.

He Daqing smiled, secretly admiring the old lady's good spirits. He stepped forward, raised his voice slightly and said, "Old lady, I have something to discuss with you."

When the deaf old lady heard He Daqing's tone, she immediately felt that something was wrong. She carefully looked at He Daqing's face, and when she saw that he frowned slightly, she stopped asking questions and turned to open the door: "Come in and talk. It's impossible to talk properly standing outside."

The two entered the house. After He Daqing sat down, he looked around. Although the house was old, it was very clean, just like the deaf old lady. He felt a little relieved and decided to get straight to the point: "Old lady, I haven't been feeling well recently. Xiao Zhuzi has been working alone in the restaurant. I heard yesterday that he seemed to have suffered some grievances. I thought that he was young and energetic, and sometimes he was not experienced enough to handle things. I was also worried that he couldn't handle it alone."

The deaf old lady narrowed her eyes and nodded slightly when she heard this. She had known about He Daqing's physical condition for a long time, and had met He Yuzhu several times, and knew that this young man was practical and capable. But she also understood that young people, who lack experience, would inevitably appear at a loss when encountering trouble.

"You mean, you want me to come out and help Xiao Zhuzi?" asked the deaf old lady, with a hint of doubt in her voice.

He Daqing nodded and sighed: "Old lady, you have lived here for so many years, and the neighbors all respect you. If you can help hold the scene at the critical moment, I will feel more at ease. Xiao Zhuzi is a good child, but he still needs some training."

The deaf old lady was silent for a while, with a gentle and loving look in her eyes. She knew He Daqing's worries, and also understood that if a young man like He Yuzhu had no one to help him, he might suffer. She had also been alone when she was young, so she was very familiar with this situation.

"Okay, Daqing, I accept your request." The deaf old lady finally nodded in agreement, with an unquestionable firmness in her tone, "But you have to let him learn to face it himself, and you can't let others solve everything for him."

He Daqing showed a relieved smile on his face: "Of course, old lady, I just hope that he can have someone to rely on when necessary."

The two chatted about some family matters. The deaf old lady had already made a plan in her mind, how to help He Yuzhu in the most appropriate way, so that he would not feel oppressed and could run the restaurant with peace of mind. He Daqing felt that he had finally unloaded some of the burdens and felt much more relaxed.

Just as they were chatting happily, He Yuzhu suddenly walked in. He had come to see his master, but he was surprised to see his master at the deaf old lady's house. He glanced at his master, then at the deaf old lady, and respectfully greeted her, "Master, why are you here?"

He Daqing smiled and waved his hand: "Nothing, just chatting with the old lady about family matters. Are you done with your work today?"

He Yuzhu nodded, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions. The deaf old lady looked at He Yuzhu with a smile, her eyes full of appreciation: "Xiao Zhuzi, thank you for your hard work. Young people should be motivated. We old guys rely on you."

He Yuzhu blushed, and quickly waved his hand and said modestly: "Old lady, please don't say that. I still have a lot to learn from you and the master."

Seeing He Yuzhu being so humble, the deaf old lady was even more satisfied with this young man. She decided that in the future, she would not only help him, but also give him some advice and reminders at the appropriate time so that he could grow up faster.

After bidding farewell to the deaf old lady, He Yuzhu followed the master back home. On the way, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, do you have something to ask me?"

He Daqing smiled and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder: "It's nothing serious, I just want to tell you that you should listen more to the deaf old lady in the future. She is an experienced old lady and can teach you a lot."

He Yuzhu was slightly stunned. Although he didn't understand why the master suddenly mentioned the deaf old lady, he nodded and said that he would pay attention. But he secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he would work harder and live up to the expectations of his master and neighbors.

In the next few days, He Yuzhu became busier in the restaurant, but he also clearly felt that Liu Dahai and others had become less aggressive. Although there were still some gossips occasionally, there were always neighbors who came to smooth things over, or a deaf old lady who quietly said a few words, forcing those who were looking for trouble to restrain themselves.

Although He Yuzhu knew that it was the master and the deaf old lady who silently supported him behind the scenes, he also knew that his own ability was the foundation. He could not always rely on others, but had to grow up as soon as possible and stand on his own.

With his efforts, the restaurant business gradually got on track. While He Yuzhu was busy developing and improving the dishes, he also began to think about how to better manage the entire restaurant. He knew that there would be many challenges in the future, but with the guidance of the master and the help of the deaf old lady, he felt more confident.

However, He Yuzhu also understood that this alone was not enough. He had to learn more and accumulate experience beyond cooking to truly gain a foothold in the catering industry. Although the things his master taught him were enough for him to be at ease in the kitchen, he still had a lot to learn in terms of interpersonal relationships and business.

He decided that while the restaurant's business was relatively stable, he would spend more time observing and thinking about how to make the restaurant not only rely on taste, but also improve service and management. Only in this way can the restaurant stand out in future competition and the chefs can be more assured.

In this process, He Yuzhu gradually realized that he was not only inheriting the skills of his master, but also building his own business. Every step could affect future development, and he could not slack off. This pressure and motivation allowed him to grow continuously in his day-to-day work, and gradually transformed him from a young chef to a restaurant operator who could truly control the overall situation.
