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

He Yuzhu can make dishes that taste almost the same as his using the cafeteria's standards.

It is clear that He Yuzhu's skills are far superior to his.

"Master Gu, you flatter me."

Despite his victory, He Yuzhu remained calm and composed.

Chef Gu's cooking skills are quite good; He Yuzhu can tell that he has put in many years of hard work.

Unfortunately, sometimes talent really does matter.

Master Gu's more than ten years of experience still cannot compare to He Yuzhu's five years of culinary training.

He Yuzhu won the competition and officially established himself in the Third Canteen.

From now on, he'll have to rely on himself.

He Daqing was relieved and returned to the second canteen to get back to work.

……

With the opening of the third canteen, the pressure on the second canteen has been greatly reduced.

He Daqing was finally able to return to a leisurely state, occasionally hiding in his office to drink tea and slack off.

After reading half a book in the afternoon, He Daqing estimated that it was about time and slowly returned to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

In front of the cutting board, Huang Kai and his two companions were deftly chopping a basket of Chinese cabbages.

After three months of study, they have basically mastered knife skills.

It's far from professional level, but the ingredients used for cutting large pots of vegetables are fine.

He Daqing quietly walked behind the three of them and observed them for a while before speaking.

"Well done, it seems you all put in a lot of effort."

"Master He, you've arrived."

Hearing the noise, the three quickly turned around to greet them.

The assessment period is not over yet, and they dare not slack off before officially becoming disciples.

For the past three months, they have practiced their knife skills whenever they have time.

I would never miss an opportunity to chop vegetables in the cafeteria.

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!

Only through diligent study and practice, day and night, can one achieve success.

"You have been learning knife skills for some time now."

To have reached this level of skill, it seems one must have some talent.

After you finish chopping the vegetables, come with me to the stove.

It's time to teach you something new.

After this period of observation, He Daqing acknowledged Huang Kai and his team's efforts.

The decision was made to further impart culinary skills.

"Thank you, Master He."

Huang Kai and the others were very excited when they heard they were going to the stove.

After practicing knife skills for so long, I can finally learn something new.

"Also, after get off work, you can all come to my office together."

After saying that, He Daqing left on his own.

In the evening, Huang Kai and his team rushed to He Daqing's office as soon as they finished serving meals.

In the office, He Daqing sat upright in his chair.

On the desk next to him, three neatly arranged enamel teacups emitted wisps of steam.

"Master He".

Huang Kai and the other two stood upright against the wall, their hands behind their backs, looking respectful.

They knew what the current situation represented, but they couldn't relax until the matter was resolved.

“You are here.

After such a long period of observation, I have decided to formally accept you as my apprentices.

From now on, you'll all learn to cook from me.

He Daqing had already thought about taking on apprentices long ago.

He either agrees or disagrees; he doesn't like to keep people hanging on.

Huang Kai and the others turned to look at each other, finally confirming the good news.

They clenched their fists in excitement, almost unable to hold back their cheers.

"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings!"

Huang Kai was about to kneel down and perform a grand ceremony for He Daqing.

He Daqing immediately stopped him.

These things are not fashionable in the new era.

"Just each of you offer me a cup of tea."

Chapter 70 The birth of a child

Qin Huairu's belly is getting bigger and bigger.

When the month was over seven months, He Daqing went to Qinjiacun as planned, invited his mother-in-law to the courtyard, and took care of his wife's daily life.

Few villagers have the opportunity to go to the city. Qin's mother sat on the back of the bicycle, looking around at the scenery with longing in her eyes.

The city of Beijing is bustling; it's definitely better to live in the city.

"Mom, our home is just ahead."

Near the entrance of the courtyard house, He Daqing turned and introduced it.

"This courtyard is really impressive."

It's much taller and more spacious than the houses in the village.

Qin's mother looked up and saw the courtyard wall with its green bricks and red tiles.

Blue bricks, which last for centuries, symbolize continuous blessings and were a common building material for wealthy families in ancient times.

The poorest people could only live in simple thatched huts or mud houses.

"Mom, you have such good taste."

This house used to be a prince's residence.

Feng shui is quite important.

He Daqing chuckled and began to recount the history of the courtyard house.

"Oh, thanks to you, I'm going to stay at the Prince's mansion for a while."

The two chatted for a few minutes and arrived at the courtyard house without incident.

Passing through the front yard and the middle yard, we arrived at the east wing.

"This courtyard belongs to our family. Huai Ru is still waiting inside. Let's go in quickly."

He Daqing parked the bicycle by the wall and led Qin's mother into the main house.

Qin Huairu, who was making clothes for her child, quickly put down her needlework and went to greet her mother when she saw her mother arrive.

"Mom, you've finally arrived."

"Huai Ru, you're not feeling well, please sit down first."

Qin's mother held Huai Ru's hand, gazing at her daughter with gentle eyes.

She has three children, two sons and a daughter.

The youngest daughter is doing the best now.

Living in a large house in Beijing, with no worries about food or drink, and no fear of heat or cold, life is wonderful.

In less than a year, her already voluptuous figure became even more mature and rounded, exuding a charming and alluring presence.

It's clear how well they're living.

"You guys chat, I'm going to cook."

He Daqing called out and turned to leave, leaving the mother and daughter alone.

Qin Huairu slowly sat down, still holding her mother's hand tightly.

"Mom, how are Dad, my eldest brother, and my second brother doing?"

It has been five months since my last visit to my family.

Qin Huairu was unable to attend her two brothers' weddings due to health issues, which was quite a pity.

"All is well, all is well."

Your dad is still the same as always, and your eldest and second eldest brothers are both married.

Both of his wives were very capable.

With their help, I can have some free time.

How are you doing?

With her daughter nearing her due date, a crucial time, Qin's mother naturally only reported good news and not bad.

Of course, with such a capable son-in-law as He Daqing, the Qin family's life is indeed much better than before.
