Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

In Liu Ping'an's spacious and vibrant yard, laughter and joy are heard one after another, like a well-arranged wonderful symphony, with melodious tunes and jumping notes, together outlining a warm and touching picture of joy. The bright sunshine generously falls on the ground, and through the gaps in the leaves, it casts mottled and unpredictable light and shadow, decorating the entire yard like a dream, as if stepping into a dreamland far away from the hustle and bustle.

At this moment, Liu Ping'an is squatting gracefully, with a loving and joyful smile on his face, accompanying his one-year-old son Liu Yuelai wholeheartedly, enjoying the innocent play time between parents and children. Little Yuelai is wearing a loose and comfortable open-crotch pants, with two chubby and soft legs supporting his round body. He is learning to walk, and every step seems so hard and shaky, as if he is on a journey of exploration about balance and courage. His eyes, as bright as the brightest stars in the night sky, are shining with endless curiosity and desire for the world. Every time he strives forward and tries to grab the colorful, light and elegant colorful balloon in his father's hand, which seems to have life and dances, he will burst into bursts of crisp and pleasant laughter, like the sound of silver bells. This laughter is pure and flawless, full of innocence and joy, as if it has a magical power that can instantly penetrate people's hearts, dispel all sorrows and troubles, and make the air around him filled with happiness and warmth.

Liu Ping'an's eyes were always gentle as water, and he looked at the lively and energetic little life in front of him with deep affection. His eyes showed endless pampering and care, as if the whole world became soft and warm because of this little guy. His hands moved gently and delicately, full of patience and wisdom, carefully controlling the height and movement trajectory of the balloon, neither letting the child touch it easily to avoid losing the fun of the game, nor letting the child feel frustrated and disappointed, always maintaining a delicate balance.

For Liu Pingan, the little baby he is holding in his hands and taking good care of is undoubtedly the most precious and priceless treasure in the world. His heart is filled with gratitude and happiness, and he is willing to devote all his love and care to support his son, protect his healthy growth, and accompany him through every important moment in his life.

Not far away, Liu Yuelai's grandparents and great-grandparents were sitting leisurely on the rocking chair that was full of age and extremely comfortable. Their faces were filled with satisfied and peaceful smiles, and occasionally they looked up at the grandparents and grandchildren playing in the distance, with love and comfort in their eyes. This family affection that spans the years, like warm sunshine, silently illuminates this family full of love and hope, making every moment so precious and unforgettable.

Their eyes, like two gentle beacons, never left the lively, tender and lovely little figure of their great-grandson Liu Yuelai. The smiles on their faces were happy and satisfied, which was the most sincere expression of emotions accumulated over the years. The years have carved deep and shallow wrinkles on their faces, which have become more obvious at this moment because of the joy in their hearts. They are like the marks of history, recording the wind, rain and sunshine in the past, but the loving light in their eyes is like a bright star, dazzling, as if it can penetrate all the darkness, illuminate the entire courtyard, and fill every corner with warmth and hope.

Especially the grandmother, who was staring at her precious great-grandson intently at the moment, with an indescribable complex emotion in her eyes, a complex emotion of nervousness and happiness. She leaned forward slightly, as if this would allow her to be closer to her great-grandson, her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, and her fingertips were trembling slightly with nervousness. She kept muttering in her mouth: "Ping An, you have to be careful! Don't let our Xiao Yue fall!" The voice was full of endless concern and love, as if she wished she could turn into a solid barrier and personally protect her grandson and prevent him from getting hurt.

However, grandma knew very well in her heart how important and precious it was for Yuelai to have such fun and play as she wanted. She knew that only in such freedom and happiness could Yuelai release his nature and thrive. Therefore, even though she still couldn't hide her nervousness and worry, at the same time, her sense of relief and joy became stronger and stronger, like a flower blooming in spring, gorgeous and beautiful.

At this time, the warm sunlight is like golden silk threads, pouring down from the sky, through the narrow gaps between the lush leaves, and falling into the courtyard. These rays of light, blocked by the leaves, form pieces of light and shadows of various shapes and colors, which are bright or dark, reflecting each other, like wonderful patterns in a dreamland, decorating the entire courtyard like a dream. These lights and shadows sway gently in the breeze, as if whispering, telling stories about love, growth and hope, making the entire courtyard full of poetry and romance.

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew quietly, bringing with it the fresh and pleasant aroma of flowers and plants. This fragrance instantly spread throughout the courtyard, making the already vibrant courtyard even more lively and energetic. And what about our lovely little Liu Yuelai? He was obviously deeply intoxicated by this beautiful atmosphere, and his silver bell-like clear and pleasant laughter became louder and louder, like the sound of nature echoing in the air; his two chubby little hands were waving up and down excitedly, as if he wanted to hold all the joy tightly in his palms.

At the same time, He Yuzhu was busy in the kitchen, concentrating on making the final preparations for the banquet at He Yuzhu's house. The whole kitchen was like a battlefield at the moment, and He Yuzhu turned into a battle-hardened general, commanding this food battle.

When you walk into the kitchen, the first thing that catches your eye is the neatly arranged array of fresh ingredients. They are colorful and dazzling, like a beautiful and exquisite painting. There are red peppers, green vegetables, yellow pumpkins, purple eggplants, etc., which make people salivate.

Looking at He Yuzhu himself, he was wearing a set of chef uniforms as white as snow, which were spotless and neat. He was wearing a tall chef hat on his head, which made him look energetic and high-spirited. At this moment, he looked extremely focused and serious, and he looked serious, as if he was going to participate in an extremely solemn and sacred ceremony.

In a flash, He Yuzhu quickly picked up a kitchen knife that was gleaming with cold light and extremely sharp, and then began to wield it like flowing water. His skillful and exquisite knife skills were amazing, and every cut was so accurate and just right. In the blink of an eye, the ingredients of various shapes and sizes were turned into thin slices of uniform thickness and crystal clear, which were as exquisite and perfect as works of art.

Afterwards, He Yuzhu methodically and carefully placed the cut ingredients into the prepared bowls and dishes, and began to mix various seasonings. While he was operating skillfully, he would occasionally sniff to see if the taste was right. His every move was so natural and smooth, and full of rhythm and melody, as if he was performing a silent but heart-stirring dance feast on the stage. Through his flexible and varied body language and focused expression, one can clearly feel his deep and passionate love for the cooking career and his unwavering and persistent pursuit.

As the date of the banquet approached, He Yuzhu's heart was like a vast ocean, difficult to calm down, and his excitement became more and more turbulent. He knew that this banquet was of great significance and extraordinary to him. It was not only a crucial display of his superb cooking skills, but also a precious opportunity for him to win more recognition and gain more respect. Therefore, he would never allow even the slightest negligence to occur, and he would do his best to pursue perfection in every detail.

Time flies, and the long-awaited banquet day finally arrived as scheduled. In the spacious courtyard of the Liu family, there were lights and decorations everywhere, and the atmosphere was full of joy and happiness. The guests who came to the banquet were all dressed in their best clothes, and each of them was dressed appropriately and generously, with a kind and friendly smile on their faces. They all bowed to the host and expressed their sincere and warm congratulations.

The lovely and clever little Yuelai was carefully dressed up today to be as bright and charming as a delicate and beautiful flower. She snuggled obediently in the warm and generous embrace of her grandfather Liu, blinking her watery and bright big eyes, full of curiosity and longing, looking around excitedly, taking in everything around her. The depths of her clear eyes were filled with endless curiosity about this colorful world and a strong desire to explore.

At this moment, He Yuzhu stood quietly at the kitchen door, first took a deep breath, tried to calm his nervous mood, and then concentrated on adjusting his mental state. Then, he held his head high, took steady and powerful steps, and stepped into the banquet hall with great dignity. At this moment, his eyes were firm and determined, full of confidence, as if he had witnessed the shocking scene brought about by the delicious food that he had created with his own hands.

Along with a burst of tempting aroma, the dishes with good color, aroma and taste and beautiful presentation were carefully served on the table like precious works of art. These delicacies exuded a mouth-watering charm and instantly attracted the attention of all the guests present.

"Wow, this dish looks amazing!" "It must taste delicious!"... Voices of praise came one after another, like a wonderful symphony, filling the entire banquet. While appreciating the food on the table, the guests couldn't help but raise their glasses to express their heartfelt congratulations to Liu Ping'an and his wife.

At the same time, everyone was full of praise for the superb cooking skills of Chef He Yuzhu. Each dish is not only a taste enjoyment, but also a visual and spiritual feast. The delicate knife skills, unique seasoning and carefully matched ingredients all show He Yuzhu's profound cooking skills and infinite creative inspiration.

Liu Ping'an and his wife stood aside, watching the lively scene with a smile on their faces, their hearts overflowing with endless gratitude and happiness. They knew very well that without He Yuzhu's tireless efforts and superb cooking skills, this banquet would never have been so successful. Therefore, the couple deliberately walked through the crowd and went straight to He Yuzhu who was busy.

Liu Pingan held He Yuzhu's hand tightly and said affectionately: "Zhu Zi, we really don't know how to thank you! Today's banquet can be so perfect, all thanks to you!" His wife also quickly echoed: "Yes, Zhu Zi, thanks to you, our wedding has added more beautiful memories!" Facing the sincere thanks of Liu Pingan and his wife, He Yuzhu smiled modestly and responded: "Don't be so polite, I am also happy to be able to contribute to your big day!"

He Yuzhu smiled, shook his head gently, and said humbly: "Chief Liu, you are too polite! It is my honor to have the opportunity to contribute to your banquet!" His bright eyes were full of sincerity and satisfaction, as if at this moment, all the hard work he had put in before had received the most perfect feedback.

With this lively banquet coming to a successful conclusion, the spacious courtyard of the Liu family once again returned to peace and tranquility. The cute little girl, Xiao Yuelai, was already exhausted at this time. She curled up in her grandmother's warm embrace like a well-behaved kitten and quietly fell into a sweet dream. There was even a satisfied smile on her pink little face. Liu Ping'an and his wife sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, leaning on each other, quietly recalling and savoring every warm moment and every touching detail that happened today. Their hearts were already filled with beautiful yearnings for a happy life in the future.

He Yuzhu returned home with a full sense of accomplishment and happiness. He knew that this banquet not only won him more recognition and respect, but also made him deeply appreciate the joy and satisfaction brought by cooking. In the days to come, he will continue to create more delicious miracles with his own hands, so that more people can feel the charm of cooking and the beauty of life.
