Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

He picked a few green and firm cabbages and a few pieces of ginger and put them in the basket. He Yuzhu had already begun to think about how to turn these ingredients into delicious dishes. He thought that these fresh ingredients would surely inspire Qin Huairu to be more creative.

Back at the courtyard, He Yuzhu put the dishes in the kitchen and thought about today's recipe. He knew that Qin Huairu would come to learn soon. Thinking of her serious expression, He Yuzhu felt a little warm in his heart. Teaching Qin Huairu to cook is not only to impart skills, but also to pass on the wisdom and love of life.

Soon, Qin Huairu arrived as promised. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the Chinese cabbage and ginger on the table, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

"Brother Yuzhu, what should we cook today?" she asked, with anticipation in her voice.

"Today we are going to make a home-cooked dish of cabbage stewed with tofu, and also a dish of ginger chicken." He Yuzhu replied with a smile.

Qin Huairu nodded, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She likes learning new dishes and finds fun and a sense of accomplishment every time.

"Okay, Brother Yuzhu, what should I do?" Qin Huairu asked impatiently.

"Let's deal with the cabbage and ginger first," He Yuzhu said, picking up a cabbage and beginning to demonstrate carefully, "Look, the leaves of this cabbage need to be picked off one by one and then cleaned."

Qin Huairu watched attentively, then picked up a cabbage and followed He Yuzhu's example, picking off leaves one by one. Although her movements were a little unfamiliar, her eyes were full of seriousness and persistence.

"Next, let's deal with the ginger," He Yuzhu continued. "The ginger needs to be sliced ​​thinly so that the flavor will be even when cooked."

Qin Huairu carefully picked up the knife and cut the ginger into thin slices, imitating He Yuzhu. Her movements were a little slow, but she cut every time very carefully. He Yuzhu watched from the side, giving some guidance and encouragement from time to time.

"Cooking is not only a skill, but also a kind of heart. Every dish should have your care and passion." He Yuzhu said, with a gentle strength in his tone.

Qin Huairu nodded. She understood what He Yuzhu meant. Cooking is not just about filling your stomach, but also an attitude towards life and love for your family.

"Brother Yuzhu, I will try my best." Qin Huairu said firmly.

The two continued to work, and the kitchen was filled with a rich aroma. The aroma of Chinese cabbage stewed with tofu and ginger chicken drifted in the air, and the whole courtyard seemed to be surrounded by this warm atmosphere.

"Huai Ru, there is another key point to this dish, which is the heat." He Yuzhu pointed at the dish in the pot and said, "The heat must be controlled well to make the dish taste more delicious."

Qin Huairu listened carefully and took note of every detail. She knew that every word of He Yuzhu was valuable experience. She worked hard to absorb this knowledge, and her heart was filled with longing for the future.

"Brother Yuzhu, thank you for your teaching all the time." Qin Huairu said gratefully.

"Huai Ru, you are a good student and very talented. I believe you will become an excellent chef." He Yuzhu replied with a smile, his eyes full of encouragement and trust.

They finished today's dishes together. Qin Huairu took a bite and her eyes lit up. "Brother Yuzhu, it's really delicious! Thank you."

He Yuzhu smiled. He knew that this was not only a success in taste, but also an affirmation and love of Qin Huairu for life.

He Yuzhu once again went to the market early that day, planning to buy some fresh scallion pancakes to bring back to the courtyard. Walking in the bustling market, surrounded by the aroma of various snacks, He Yuzhu felt particularly relaxed. Every time he came here, he could always find some new inspiration and interesting ingredients, providing unlimited possibilities for his creations in the kitchen.

He Yuzhu strolled in the market, surrounded by enthusiastic vendors and bustling crowds. His eyes were quickly attracted by a small stall, which was a stall selling scallion pancakes. The stall owner was a kind-looking old man, with freshly baked scallion pancakes in front of him, which smelled fragrant.

"Uncle, give me some scallion pancakes." He Yuzhu walked over with a smile.

Seeing that he was an acquaintance, the old man greeted him warmly, "Yuzhu, I haven't seen you buy cakes in a long time. How many do you want today?"

"Let's start with five." He Yuzhu replied, thinking that these scallion pancakes can not only be used for breakfast, but also as ingredients for some new dishes.

"Okay, five scallion pancakes, I'll pack them for you." The old man packed the scallion pancakes skillfully and handed them to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took the pancakes and thought about how to turn these scallion pancakes into a new delicacy. He likes this process, and every little inspiration may bring unexpected surprises and deliciousness.

Back at the courtyard, Qin Huairu was already waiting for her master in the kitchen. When she saw He Yuzhu bringing back the scallion pancakes, her eyes lit up.

"Brother Yuzhu, what good things did you bring back today?" Qin Huairu asked excitedly.

"Huai Ru, this is scallion pancake. I thought we could make a new dish with it." He Yuzhu replied with a smile, placing the scallion pancake on the table.

Qin Huairu's eyes flashed with curiosity and excitement, "Using scallion pancakes to cook? This is a new idea, I want to try it!"

He Yuzhu nodded and began to study new recipes with Qin Huairu. After discussing for a while, they decided to make a crispy scallion pancake with vegetables.

"Huai Ru, let's prepare some fresh vegetables and sauces first. Then cut these scallion pancakes into small pieces, wrap the vegetables, and finally fry them over low heat." He Yuzhu said as he demonstrated.

Qin Huairu watched carefully and prepared the ingredients skillfully. She picked some fresh carrots, cucumbers and green peppers, cut them into thin strips, and then prepared some sauces. He Yuzhu focused on processing the scallion pancakes and cutting them into suitable sizes.

"Brother Yuzhu, is this okay?" Qin Huairu picked up a piece of scallion pancake and tried to wrap the vegetables.

He Yuzhu took a look and nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, remember to be careful with the heat when frying, don't use too high a heat, otherwise it will burn."

Qin Huairu nodded, carefully put the scallion pancake roll into the pot, and fried it slowly over low heat. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of scallion pancakes and vegetables, which was mouth-watering.

"Brother Yuzhu, this fragrance is so tempting!" Qin Huairu exclaimed.

"Yes, this dish will definitely be very popular." He Yuzhu responded with a smile, his heart full of anticipation.

They worked together and soon made a plate of fragrant scallion pancakes with vegetables. He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu each tasted a bite and smiled with satisfaction.

"Brother Yuzhu, this tastes really great!" Qin Huairu said happily.
