Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

After He Daqing greeted everyone, Master Fan explained to him: "Master He, although we all know that the dishes you cook are very good, according to regulations, we need to cook them again the day after tomorrow and let the leaders above do the screening."

"We have prepared more than 30 dishes for selection this time, and the leaders will pick out 10 dishes for the banquet. But I believe your dish is absolutely fine. I have never seen a more creative dish than yours in the years I have been here."

After listening to this, He Daqing finally understood why so many people came here today.

According to the rules, each person is responsible for his own specialty, so there will be more than 30 people.

I guess we came here today to check out the venue and get to know each other.

In the middle of the morning, Master Luo took everyone to visit several main kitchens.

This place is really huge. When He Daqing heard that it was only built the year before last and that it hosted a banquet for more than 500 tables and 5,000 people on its first use, he was also very surprised.

Master Fan was very excited when he talked about that largest banquet. Many well-known people from home and abroad attended the banquet.

It was also the first large-scale banquet held after the big house was built.

It is said that there were more than 300 chefs at that time, and the preparation work alone took two or three days.

The day before the banquet, everyone worked overtime until dawn and no one got a rest.

This ensured the complete success of the banquet.

From that time on, the teacher stipulated that such a large-scale event should no longer be held every year, but only on the fifth or tenth day of the lunar calendar.

Although the teacher has made the regulations, he cannot stop the enthusiasm of the people across the country!

It is said that this time they are just organizing a parade on that day.

So there were only more than a thousand people attending the banquet, and only more than a hundred tables were needed.

He Daqing was very excited after hearing this. Does this mean that he will meet the teacher on the day of the banquet?

He is He Daqing's super idol. If he could meet him in person once, it would be the greatest gain of his rebirth.

After visiting these places, Master Luo took everyone to apply for temporary entry and exit certificates to facilitate everyone's work during this period.

Otherwise, he would be too busy to handle the reception every time he was asked to.

He Daqing and everyone else took the temporary entry and exit permits they had just obtained, said goodbye to each other and went home to prepare.

It is said that several people from other places will not arrive until tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will be the time for them to show their talents together.

The distance was not far, and He Daqing returned to the courtyard at noon.

Yan Bugui didn’t have classes today, so the old guy came back early again.

Seeing He Daqing also returning home at this time, he thought He Daqing had skipped work like him.

So he smiled and asked, "Daqing, why did you come back at this time? Are you going to the factory this afternoon?"

He Daqing shook his head and said, "No, I have something to do these days, so I asked the factory for a few days off to rest."

"Old Yan, when I meet your principal someday, I will definitely ask you, are all of you teachers so free? Do you just stay at home and grow flowers and plants when you have nothing to do?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui hurried over to explain, "Daqing, don't talk nonsense. I only come back once or twice when I don't have classes. Well, just pretend you didn't see me. I'll give you two fish next time I catch them."

After saying that, he immediately went into the house and never came out.

He Daqing smiled and shook his head.

This old guy, if he wants to deal with you, it’s just a matter of words!

Seeing that He Daqing had returned so early, Chen Xueru hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is Daqing? Was he selected?"

He Daqing shook his head and said, "We haven't officially started the screening yet. Today we just went to meet everyone and explain some rules. Once everyone is here, we will officially start the screening the day after tomorrow."

Only then did Chen Xueru feel relieved.

She was very happy that He Daqing could attend the banquet.

This is also the biggest proof of He Daqing's cooking skills, which shows that the man he chose is quite outstanding.

In the evening, when Sha Zhu returned home, he saw his father sitting there leisurely teasing his two younger brothers and sisters. He asked anxiously, "Dad! How is it? Did you get selected?"

Sha Zhu's loud and anxious voice not only scared He Daqing, but also frightened the two children in his arms and made them cry loudly.

He Daqing cursed angrily: "Are you itching for trouble? Can't you see the child is here? If you scare them both, I will peel off your skin!"

Sha Zhu then realized that he was too anxious. He touched his head and said, "Am I not too excited? Dad, if you want to punish me, you have to tell me the answer before you punish me."

He Daqing coaxed He Yuchen and He Yuyao in his arms, and said, "Why rush? The screening will be done the day after tomorrow! Go and cook!"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he went to the kitchen with a disappointed look on his face.

He thought that the result could be determined today, and he could go out and brag to everyone tomorrow.

He felt very uncomfortable all day today, and several times he almost wanted to show off.

But thinking about his father's stern warning, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He has to endure one more day tomorrow, and Sha Zhu feels that he will suffocate to death.

The next day, He Daqing neither went to the big house nor to the steel mill. He stayed at home and played happily with his wife and children for the whole day.

After the full moon, the child changed every day. As it was the first time for He Daqing to have his own child in two lives, he loved the child so much that he wanted to hold him in his arms every day.

Chen Xueru looked at He Daqing holding the child with a doting look on his face, and her heart was also very sweet.

If a woman can find a man who loves her and loves the family even more in her life, she feels that she is already very content.

The next day, He Daqing prepared all his belongings again, and under Chen Xueru's careful instructions, he rode his bike to the big house.

This time, He Daqing had a pass for entry and exit, so he showed it to the guard at the door and was allowed to pass smoothly.

When he came to the kitchen, he clearly felt that there were more people and it was more lively today than when he came the day before.

If you know someone, you can say hello to each other.

He Daqing also greeted people he knew along the way before he walked to the front.

Master Luo and Master Fan were at the front registering everyone.

Seeing He Daqing, Master Luo said, "Master He, you are here so early. Come here and I will register you. I will also give you a number plate. Later, you will cook at the corresponding stove according to the number on the plate."

"There will be someone at each stove to help you. If you have any questions, just ask them."

He Daqing nodded: "Okay, thank you then."

He Daqing then registered his name and the name of the dish that needed to be made.

Master Fan gave him a number plate with the number twenty-one written on it.

It seemed that he needed to go to stove number 21 to cook. He Daqing came over with the sign and chatted with a few people he had met the day before.

They need to wait until all the chefs are present before they can go to the kitchen together.
