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

"That's enough. Sending them to the police station is already the greatest leniency they can show."

If you dare to make any more noise, watch out for your family.

Lou Zhenhua coldly flicked his sleeve, turned around, hugged his daughter, and gently comforted her.

Upon hearing the word "family," Atao seemed to lose all his strength, collapsing to the ground with a blank stare.

No matter how noisy it is, it will stop making a sound.

Xu Fugui is a projectionist at the steel rolling mill. If he gets implicated in this matter, he will lose his job.

The couple lost their jobs at the same time and could no longer make a living in Beijing.

Outside the door, two strong maids entered the kitchen and dragged Ah Tao out.

……

On the way home, He Yuzhu, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Dad, why did Aunt Tao frame us?"

And why don't you make Lou Xiao'e apologize to us?

He Yuzhu still doesn't understand many details about tonight's events.

The fog of uncertainty made him uneasy.

"Why are there so many whys?"

All you need to remember is that there are no good people in the Xu family, and you should avoid having anything to do with them in the future.

As for Lou Xiao'e's matter, it doesn't make sense for me to tell you now.

You'll understand when you grow up in a few years.

With tonight's events finally over, He Daqing just wants to get home and be with his wife as soon as possible.

I'm too lazy to explain to that brat He Yuzhu.

Jade must be carved to become a useful object. He Yuzhu, that brat, still lacks composure and needs further refinement.

Otherwise, with his reckless and unruly nature, he'll not only do bad things but also have difficulty finding a wife.

Chapter 59 Feast

On Madam Lou's birthday, He Daqing and his son arrived at the Lou family home early in the morning to begin preparing the banquet.

The past two days were just preparations; today is the real highlight.

Tan Family Cuisine is not easy to prepare; it takes at least half a day to prepare a complete banquet.

To ensure the food is served on time, there's still a lot of work to be done.

Before entering the kitchen, I saw a haggard-looking woman being escorted out by two strong women.

It was none other than Atao, the wicked servant who stirred up trouble last night.

He Daqing and his son only glanced at it and left without lingering.

Upon witnessing this scene early in the morning, He Daqing wondered if Lou Zhenhua had intentionally arranged it to put his mind at ease.

However, He Daqing will not slack off in any way.

You take someone's money and do their bidding.

Now that He Daqing has accepted the deposit from the Lou family, he has to get things done.

Even if something unpleasant happened last night, they will not take it out on the diners.

This is his professional ethics as a chef.

"Zhu Zi, Dad is going to start cooking now."

Clear your mind of distractions and focus on reading and learning.

I'll only do it once.

He Daqing said to his son seriously.

The preparation process of Tan Family Cuisine is quite complicated and meticulous; even with focused attention, it's not always possible to remember it all.

Needless to say, being restless and irritable is another matter.

He Daqing was worried that his child's emotions would affect him and cause mental health problems.

"Dad, don't worry."

I will definitely study hard.

The moment He Yuzhu put on his apron, his gaze became calm and composed.

It must be said that he does have a talent for cooking.

Entering the kitchen is like a fish entering water; one can quickly adjust to the optimal state.

"Yes, look carefully."

He Daqing picked up the cleaver from the cutting board and deftly began cleaning the various high-end seafood that had been soaked and rehydrated.

From cutting ingredients to cooking.

He Daqing demonstrated masterful control over the different heat levels and ingredient ratios, from stir-frying over high heat to simmering over low heat and stewing over low heat. His explanations were also incredibly detailed.

Different kinds of top-quality ingredients are transformed repeatedly in He Daqing's hands, eventually coming together to create dishes that are perfect in color, aroma, taste, and presentation.

He Yuzhu was dazzled and his mind was stirred by his father's exquisite culinary skills, as if a new door had been opened for him.

At the same time, a huge sense of responsibility welled up in He Yuzhu's heart, prompting him to do his best to imprint everything in front of him into his mind.

It is only natural for a son to follow in his father's footsteps.

He Yuzhu is going to take over his father's responsibility and continue to pass on the Tan family cuisine.

Good times always pass too quickly. As dusk fell, the dinner was prepared on time.

He Daqing gave the order, and the servants of the Lou family filed in, bringing out dishes and serving them to the table.

After finishing everything, He Daqing and his son found two chairs and casually sat down in the kitchen to drink tea and rest.

After a busy day, it's really not easy to finally have a moment of peace.

"Zhu Zi, how are you feeling?"

He Daqing has taught everything that needed to be taught.

How much He Yuzhu can gain depends on himself.

"Dad, helping you out today was more tiring than cooking in a restaurant."

He Yuzhu chuckled.

It's no wonder you get tired after maintaining such high concentration for so long.

However, the effort will be rewarded.

He Yuzhu managed to memorize the entire process of making Tan Family Cuisine.

If I have the opportunity to try a few more times in the future, I might be able to replicate my father's masterpiece.

"You kid, you're definitely cut out for this."

"If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely let you personally cook a table of Tan family dishes."

He Daqing wasn't just making things up; he genuinely had the idea of ​​having He Yuzhu try it out.

After all, knowledge gained from books is ultimately superficial; true understanding requires personal experience.

You have to cook Tan Family Cuisine yourself to say you've mastered the craft.

Of course, it won't be now; we'll have to wait a while longer.

Putting aside other things, some high-end ingredients are hard to buy even if you have the money.

He Daqing needed to leverage his network of connections and prepare thoroughly over a period of time.

At the same time, we must wait until the war frenzy subsides in the next year or two.

"Dad, please don't hit me if I burn it."

He Yuzhu joked.

"Okay, I won't hit you, I'll slap you instead..."

He Daqing raised his hand, making a fierce expression, and said in feigned anger.

……

Mrs. Lou thoroughly enjoyed her birthday banquet.

Tan Family Cuisine truly lives up to its reputation as a renowned dish from the Beijing area; it's high-end, sophisticated, and worth the price.

After a hearty meal, Lou Zhenhua summoned He Daqing and his son and personally paid the remaining payment.

"Master He, thank you for your help this time."

It's just a small token of my appreciation.

Lou Zhenhua took a thick envelope out of his pocket and handed it to He Daqing.

He Daqing opened the seal, ran his fingertip lightly across the ticket, and shook his head with a smile.

"Chairman Lou, you've given too much."

The remaining balance should be 500,000, but this is 3 million.

He Daqing's hands were very sensitive, and he could easily detect the number of bills: a full sixty bills of fifty thousand each.

This is equivalent to a year's wages for an ordinary worker.

"That's right, you deserve it all."

The remaining amount of 500,000 is an affirmation of Chef He's culinary skills.

There are still two million left, which is what my daughter promised last night.
