Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

The competition soon reached the final crucial moment. The three chefs had already handed in their papers, and the next step was to see the voting results of the judges present.

Chef Wang stood in front of the stage, full of confidence.

Another 19th-generation successor seemed a little nervous, perhaps because the cooking steps were too complicated and there was not enough time, so he seemed a little hurried when cooking.

On the other hand, Chef Yue is Fan Jinyou's subordinate, and this friend is even more confident than Chef Wang.

He stood straight with his hands behind his back, and was not at all worried about the judges' comments.

Well, Xiao Weiguo gives him one point just for this courage.

I don’t know if it’s because of his strong ability, or because Fan Jinyou told him about the fabricated things, but he is so confident, it’s rare!

Several contestants were still standing on the stage, while both professional judges and audience judges were tasting the food attentively.

Because it was the final championship battle, in order to prove the fairness of the competition, the program team distributed each contestant's dishes to the audience so that everyone could taste the chef's craftsmanship.

Although everyone has different tastes, there are different opinions on each dish.

But at least everyone got to see the chef's skills.

"Mm, this dish is delicious, delicious!"

“I like this spicy chicken, it’s very authentic Sichuan style!”

"You won't eat this, right? The chef who was eliminated in the last round is the originator of Sichuan cuisine. He is the chef of Champagne House and is an expert at making Sichuan cuisine!"

"Then he was eliminated too. I like Chef Wang better."

“I love this classic white-cut chicken, it tastes great!”

At this time, everyone was eating and commenting at the same time. Everyone has different preferences, so naturally they like different things.

When it finally came to the voting stage, Xiao Weiguo sighed slightly nervously.

By the way, Sha Zhu has been eliminated. From now on, Champagne House is no longer his opponent. There is no need to consider him at all!

But the 19th generation successor was a dark horse, who had overcome many difficulties along the way and showed extraordinary strength.

As long as he wins the championship, it doesn't matter who the other two win. Chef Yue will naturally get his share of the money he earns. Although it's a little less, these bean buns are also dry food and can quench your thirst!

"My silly dad went to participate in a competition today, and I don't know what the result was. There should be news by now!"

He Jingjing sat in the yard with her chin hanging down, staring out the window, wondering about Sha Zhu's performance in the game today.

Xiaodang sat beside him, sighing with dull eyes.

"Hey, I don't know what's wrong with my parents now. They quarrel every day! This morning, my stupid dad was picked up by a car, and my mom is probably still sulking right now!"

The more Xiaodang thought about it, the sadder he became. What bad intentions could a child have? He just wanted his parents to be happy every day.

There was a lot of tension between the two as soon as they met, and they were tired of such days.

Life is like a stagnant pool of water, with no waves and no improvement.

"Humph, this is all stupid dad's fault. Mom told me last night when she was coaxing me to sleep that she would take a day off today to take the two of us to cheer for stupid dad, but stupid dad left alone early in the morning, leaving the three of us behind. Humph, it would be strange if Mom wasn't mad at him!"

It is said that a daughter is a little cotton-padded jacket for her parents, but for Sha Zhu, that little cotton-padded jacket is already leaking!

The two sisters were chatting about family matters at the doorstep. What the two children hope most now is that their parents can reconcile and the family can be together happily again.

But the reality is always contrary to our wishes.

"Sister, I don't know Dad... Dad! Dad!"

He Jingjing became more and more disappointed as she spoke, but the moment she looked up her eyes lit up, because she actually saw that her silly father had returned.

She rushed over excitedly. Her complaints against him just now were just grumbles and did not affect their meeting at all.

When Xiaodang saw Sha Zhu, he jumped up excitedly and subconsciously turned around to go back to the house to tell Qin Huairu the news as soon as possible.

You know, Qin Huairu took a day off to go watch the game to cheer him on, but ended up missing the whole day.

But Xiaodang noticed that Shazhu was not smiling and seemed to be in a bad mood.

In the past, no matter when he came back or what happened, Sha Zhu was always happy to see He Jingjing. He would pick up his favorite little daughter, hold her high above his head, and smile happily.

But today there is no smile on his face at all!

Xiaodang hesitated for a moment, then stood there and observed silently.

He Jingjing's efforts were met with a cold reception. As expected, there was no response to He Jingjing's outstretched hand, and Sha Zhu just walked towards the main house with his head down in silence.

And they were getting closer and closer to Xiaodang. Xiaodang swallowed nervously, realizing that today would be another unforgettable day.

It's not that you cry and I make a fuss, but you are as cold as a stranger. It's okay to treat them like this, but if you go into the house and treat your mother like this, the relationship between the two will inevitably get worse and worse.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

If it were usual, Xiaodang might choose to keep silent, after all, now is not a good time to speak.

But she really couldn't bear to see her silly father so sad, it was too heartbreaking.

But just as she expected, He Jingjing pouted angrily behind her, and her silly father didn't respond to her at all.

"Dad, please say something! Dad!"

No matter how Xiaodang called him, Shazhu acted like a deaf person and didn't say a word.

After he lifted the door curtain and entered the house, He Jingjing finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears. In order to avoid misunderstanding from the neighbors, Xiaodang quickly took her hand and led her out. Who knows what might happen in the house in a while, so it would be better for the two of them to hide away.

There is no other way. With parents who are not easy to care about, Xiaodang has to take on the responsibility of taking care of the family at a young age.

In the room, Qin Huairu sat upright. She could hear clearly what the two children were saying outside. She also anticipated that Sha Zhu was very likely to fail, otherwise the children would not respond to him. This was not right!

Sure enough, when Sha Zhu entered the room, at first glance he looked like an eggplant hit by frost. His face was sallow and full of wrinkles, and now all the organs on his face were urgently gathered together.

His face showed displeasure and unhappiness.

Qin Huairu took a breath and was about to speak when Sha Zhu suddenly pounced towards him.

With a thud, Sha Zhu knelt heavily on the ground and buried his head tightly in Qin Huairu's arms.

Just like a child who was wronged outside...

Qin Huairu's heart was in her throat. Well, this happened just after returning. Who knows how badly he must have been injured outside!

Qin Huairu stood there awkwardly, motionless, for fear of disturbing Shazhu, but the sound of her sniffling became louder and louder. Such a grown man was actually moved to tears?
