Courtyard House: He Daqing Forces Qin Huairu into Marrying at the Beginning

That's why I'm thinking of finding a reliable man to help me out.

She has no relatives in Beijing, so she has to rely on Liu Wu to get things done. She can't push Bai Widow too hard.

Watching the white widow's graceful back, Liu Wu secretly spat.

"You filthy bitch, you rotten whore who brought death to your husband's family, what are you pretending for?"

If it weren't for the fact that the White Widow was still useful, Liu Wu wouldn't want to get involved with this scourge.

On the other side, He Daqing was showing off his steamed buns while studying the system.

The system structure is simple; it just offers some benefits and storage space for checking in, without assigning any tasks.

This made He Daqing very happy.

It's not that cheats are ineffective, it's that they're prone to causing problems.

If the system forced him to do something suicidal like treason or self-castration, he couldn't do it.

After finishing his meal, He Daqing had a sudden thought.

[Injection of primary gene therapy agents.]

The gene therapy agent is expected to be completely absorbed within three months.

The mechanical system's voice echoed in my mind.

Upon receiving the command, He Daqing felt a surge of heat coursing through his limbs and bones, an indescribable comfort throughout his body. He felt as if he had returned to his twenties, full of vitality.

Men's physical condition inevitably declines once they reach the age of thirty.

Now that He Daqing is full of energy, he no longer has any scruples about certain things.

The steel rolling mill offered good pay; He Daqing earned 450,000 old dollars a month, and with extra income from wedding banquets, he could easily make over 500,000 a month.

He Yuzhu apprenticed as a chef a few years ago and lived and ate at the restaurant.

In addition, He Daqing could bring some leftovers from the canteen every day to supplement his family's income, so his daily expenses were not high.

In just a few years, He Daqing had amassed over 15 million yuan.

If I want to get married, I don't need to worry about money for now, but housing is a bit tight.

If He Daqing has more children in the future, two rooms won't be enough for the whole family.

Houses are hard to find in Beijing, and with two children needing care, He Daqing doesn't want to give up his existing property. Therefore, it would be best to find a few more rooms in a courtyard house.

Before the public-private partnership began in 51, the courtyard house belonged to the residential area of ​​the steel rolling mill workers.

If you want a house, you have to pull strings at the steel rolling mill.

As He Daqing was thinking, he heard footsteps behind him.

Looking back, a burly, middle-aged man with a receding hairline rushed over.

"Great Qing, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you everywhere."

Wang Dahai, the manager of the second canteen, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said urgently.

"Day, what's wrong?"

He Daqing and Wang Dahai had worked together at the steel rolling mill for many years and knew each other very well.

Wang Dahai's personal trip must have been for something important.

"The host is entertaining guests tonight, so hurry up and get ready."

You don't need to worry about the cafeteria.

"I understand, I'll be there in a bit."

He Daqing's success in Beijing was largely due to his secret recipe for Tan Family Cuisine.

Whenever the steel rolling mill hosted distinguished guests, He Daqing would personally prepare the meals, which earned him the appreciation of the owner, Lou Zhenhua.

I'll have to ask Lou Zhenhua for help with this house matter again.

"I'm not free this afternoon; I need to take care of my daughter first."

The country had only recently been established, and there were still many enemy agents and remnants of criminal gangs in Beijing, making the city's security unstable.

He Daqing dared not leave his daughter alone at home.

The rain is still light, and He Daqing is busy with work, so it would be better to find a woman to manage the household.

"Okay, you go first."

I'll be waiting for you in the little kitchen.

Having just finished lunch and with time to spare before dinner, Wang Dahai didn't urge them too much.

He Daqing turned around and went to the fitter's workshop. He gave his name and quickly found Yi Zhonghai, who was resting.

"Old Yi, I have something to do tonight, could you please go and collect some rainwater, sister-in-law?"

It is said that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. When He Daqing works overtime, he asks the Yi Zhonghai couple in the same courtyard to help take care of his daughter.

The main reason is that Yi Zhonghai and his wife have no children, so they have the time and energy to take care of them.

He Daqing would often bring food to Yi Zhonghai's family.

Before He Daqing ran away, Yi Zhonghai had no ulterior motives towards Sha Zhu.

The two companies have a pretty good relationship.

"Okay, leave it to me."

Yi Zhonghai did not refuse and readily agreed.

He and his wife have no children, and their home is usually very quiet. However, he is willing to take care of children to bring some life to the house.

He Daqing thanked him and turned to leave.

Upon arriving at the small kitchen, Wang Dahai, still catching his breath, pointed to the ingredients on the table and said, "Daqing, the master is entertaining distinguished guests this time."

If you need anything, just let me know.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Tonight, it all depends on you.

He Daqing picked up the ingredients on the table and began to examine them carefully.

The ingredients are plentiful, including various dried mushrooms, chicken, pork, beef, bird's nest, and scallops, and they are all of excellent quality. It must have cost a lot of money to get all of these.

After confirming that there were no problems, He Daqing looked up and smiled.

Don't you know how good my cooking is?

Just rest assured. "

After being enhanced by gene-enhancing drugs, He Daqing's physical fitness improved significantly. Coupled with his strong muscle memory, his cooking skills were no worse than before.

He was confident he could prepare a meal for guests.

"Okay, as long as it's on the table on time tonight."

I'm going back first."

After giving his instructions, Wang Dahai breathed a sigh of relief and left the kitchen.

There were many dishes for the evening banquet, and it would be too rushed for He Daqing to cook by himself, so he needed two or three assistants.

Cooking for others is a cushy job; if there are leftovers, the cooks and assistants can all get some to take home.

Therefore, everyone was eager to do it.

Before they even started working, several kitchen helpers were already gathered outside the door, eagerly waiting for He Da to take stock of the troops.

"Zhao Song and Wang Qing, you two stay here. The rest of you can go back first."

These kitchen helpers were all pretty much the same, so He Daqing didn't need to think too much and just randomly picked two names.

Those who were chosen were overjoyed, while those who were not chosen were dejected.

As the crowd dispersed and He Daqing prepared to start work, Liu Wu quietly crept back for a while.

"Master He, I was wrong about what happened today. I'd like to treat you to dinner after get off work tonight as an apology..."

"No need, get out of here."

He Daqing coldly refused.

This Liu Wu is really clueless; he's like a fly, always haunting me.

Chapter 4 Beating Jia Zhangshi

Inside the private room at the steel rolling mill, Lou Zhenhua and several distinguished guests were enjoying their meal.

An elderly man with graying temples, a straight back, and a vigorous spirit raised his wine glass and leisurely praised the wine.

"Zhenhua, this table of Tan family dishes is truly authentic."

The chef who cooks here must have worked at the Tan family's residence.

Tan Family Cuisine was created by the family of Tan Zongjun, an official in the late Qing Dynasty. It is a cuisine that combines Cantonese and Beijing cuisines to form its own unique style.

Adhering to the principles of selecting the finest ingredients, using generous amounts of ingredients, meticulous preparation, proper cooking time, and pure flavor, it became very popular in Beijing in the 1930s and was quite famous.

The fact that the chef received praise from Kyoto's gourmets shows that his skills are exceptional.

"Look at Old Yan's tongue, it's truly amazing."

Master He from the factory actually worked at the Tan family's residence before.

Lou Zhenhua, with a humble expression, toasted Elder Yan.

"Although I have been away from Beijing for more than ten years, I still remember some of the flavors."

Zhenhua, please ask Master He to come over here.

Old Yan drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and the aroma of the wine made him slightly tipsy.

Soon, He Daqing, still smelling of cigarette smoke, entered the private room, greeted everyone present, and then stood there without saying a word.
