Siheyuan, Rainwater is the master, Shazhu wins

Afterwards, He Daqing put the fried dishes on a plate, handed it to Ma Hua, and asked him to taste it.

Ma Hua took the plate with great anticipation, picked up a few pieces of chicken and put them into his mouth to chew. After just a few chews, the expression on his face instantly became complicated - because he clearly realized that what he had just done was completely different from the finished product made by He Daqing at this moment.

The gap is really huge!

"You should know the problem now, right?" He Daqing asked with a smile as he looked at Ma Hua's reaction.

Ma Hua nodded solemnly. At this moment, he admired his master very much.

Ma Hua said, "Master, your cooking skills are simply amazing! I really benefited a lot from watching your demonstration just now. I have learned a lot now. Next, I want to fry this Kung Pao Chicken again according to the method you taught me. Please help me see how I did."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Hua took action immediately. He concentrated on cooking and strictly followed the steps and techniques that He Daqing had demonstrated before.

In a short while, a plate of delicious Kung Pao Chicken was freshly prepared.

Ma Hua wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and looked at He Daqing expectantly, hoping to get his recognition and evaluation.

He Daqing smiled, reached out, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

After a moment, he nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Well, not bad, not bad, you have already tasted 70% of it! Keep up this state and practice more. I believe that it won't be long before you can reach a higher level."

Hearing the praise from his master, Ma Hua couldn't help but feel happy, but at the same time he also knew that he still had room for improvement.

Then, He Daqing took out a yellowed notebook from his arms and handed it to Ma Hua, and gave him earnest instructions.

“This notebook contains the essence of my cooking experience accumulated over the years!

I'm handing it over to you today, you must study it carefully.

I'll give you a few months to learn every dish listed here and make it at least 80% like me.

As long as you are willing to work hard, it will not be a problem for you to become a famous chef in this huge capital city in the future. Our restaurant will surely prosper and attract many customers because of your cooking skills!"

Ma Hua excitedly took the notebook with both hands, feeling the heavy trust and expectations. He nodded heavily, saying that he would do his best to live up to his master's trust.

He Daqing also instructed: "When you have mastered the relevant knowledge, remember to make a detailed study note yourself, hand it to me after you finish it, and then return my notes to me. Don't lose them. After I carefully read your experience and records, I will be able to give you corresponding guidance and corrections for any errors or deficiencies in them."

"In this case, as long as time passes, in a few years at most, I believe your abilities will be able to rise to a level comparable to mine!"

"Speaking of which, the reason why I am willing to pass on all the valuable experience and skills I used to teach my son to you is entirely because of my boy's face. After all, the deep master-disciple relationship between the two of you has lasted for many years, and he values ​​you so much. If it weren't for this relationship, how could I give you such a good thing!

After hearing this, Ma Hua was extremely excited!

This was a truly earth-shattering and joyous event for him, and it was much better than the on-the-spot guidance method.

So he immediately responded with impatience and excitement: "Master, please be at ease, I will definitely carefully keep the precious notes you gave me.

At the same time, I will definitely go all out and study hard. I will let my children inherit your superb cooking skills in the future."

Hearing Ma Hua's solemn words, He Daqing nodded with satisfaction.

Then he smiled and said, "Yeah, not bad, not bad, very good! In that case, you guys should get busy first. Today, try to operate it as I just said and see what kind of unique effect it will produce in the end."

After saying this, He Daqing turned around and walked away.

Soon, he arrived at the door of Chen Xueru's office.

He pushed the door open and took a closer look, only to see Chen Xueru concentrating on looking through the accounts, and sitting not far away from her were Lou Xiao'e and her grandson He Xiao.

He couldn't help but wonder inwardly, why didn't both of them go home last night, could it be that they discussed something important here?

At this moment, He Daqing walked in, and the two of them naturally looked at him. Chen Xueru smiled and asked softly, "Dad, are you finally done?"

He Daqing nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, that's right. I have just explained it to Ma Hua and told him to cook according to my method today to see how satisfied the guests are with today's dishes. Remember to arrange for the waiters to ask the guests for their opinions and conduct a satisfaction survey. If we do this, I guarantee that the dishes here will become one of the best in the whole capital!"

Hearing these words, Chen Xueru was immediately overjoyed and her excitement was beyond words.

She thought to herself that now she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

So he smiled and said, "Dad, if you have nothing else to do, just take a good rest. Everything is fine here, you can go out for a stroll or play for a while, as long as you don't encounter those powerful leaders who suddenly visit you."

However, after hearing this, He Daqing couldn't help but blush.

It turned out that he went to Zhengyang Gate yesterday and after meeting his younger brother Cai Quanwu and his sister-in-law, he began to compare them secretly in his heart.

I just thought that the wives that other people married were so smart, capable, and virtuous. Looking back at myself, I was simply so stupid!

No, I suddenly felt unbalanced!

Although he is not young anymore, his mind is as full of energy and vigor as that of a young person!

So, after hearing what his daughter-in-law said, his restless heart could no longer be suppressed, and he began to want to go out for a walk to see if he could meet his destined person.

"Well... well, I'll just rest here for a while. Who knows what's going to happen next. You guys go do your own things. I'll go find a place to rest somewhere else."

In the end, He Daqing couldn't muster up the courage and ran out to play on his first day at work.

After all, it's really unreliable to do so, and he can't afford to lose face in front of his daughter-in-law!
