Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

The aroma of chicken wings gradually filled his kitchen, making people salivate. He took out his mobile phone and played some light music, making the atmosphere in the kitchen more relaxed and pleasant. Every time he flipped the chicken wings, his mood became more pleasant as the aroma rose.

While waiting for the chicken wings to be fried, Wang Qiang watched and adjusted the seasoning ratio to ensure the best taste. Although this process is simple, it requires him to stay focused and patient. Every time he flips and adds seasoning, he is full of his passion for food and love for life.

As the chicken wings were fried, Wang Qiang placed them on a plate, poured honey sauce on them, and finally sprinkled some chopped green onions and sesame seeds to add some color and aroma. He picked up the plate, sat at the dining table, and looked at the tempting honey chicken wings with a satisfied smile on his face.

"What a perfect dinner." Wang Qiang whispered to himself, feeling satisfied. He knew that these simple delicacies were not only a reward for his taste buds, but also a reward for his hard work and love for life.

He carefully cut off a piece of chicken wing and took a bite. The sweet and salty honey and the crispy chicken wing blended perfectly, making him feel extremely delicious. Every bite of chicken wing made him feel inner peace and joy, as if in this moment of relaxation, all the troubles and pressures were left behind.

As Wang Qiang ate, his thoughts began to flow. He thought of the efforts he had made in the renovation and negotiation of the courtyard house, and felt proud. He knew that although these tasks brought many challenges, they were also a test of his ability and determination. He had a firm belief in his heart that no matter what difficulties he encountered in the future, he would be able to persevere and continue to pursue what he loved.

After dinner, Wang Qiang cleaned up the kitchen and washed the dishes. He was in a happy and relaxed mood, full of expectations and hope for the future. On such a quiet night, he decided to continue to maintain this mentality so that he could better cope with various challenges in life in the days to come.

After enjoying honey chicken wings, Wang Qiang sat on the comfortable sofa at home, slowly flipping through an old book, occasionally looking out the window at the night. His thoughts involuntarily returned to He Yuzhu, the man with whom he had many disputes. He Yuzhu's comments on him always made Wang Qiang feel uneasy, especially for his attempts in the kitchen, He Yuzhu never gave him a positive evaluation.

A few months ago, Wang Qiang invited He Yuzhu to his home and planned to cook a few dishes for him. However, He Yuzhu's attitude made him feel very frustrated. During the dinner conversation, He Yuzhu's comments on Wang Qiang's dishes were always a little disdainful, and that expression made Wang Qiang feel complicated. He knew that He Yuzhu had extremely high standards in cooking, and although he was passionate about cooking, he could not meet He Yuzhu's requirements anyway.

"Maybe I'm really not good enough." Wang Qiang secretly mocked himself. He put down his book, walked to the kitchen, and gently opened the refrigerator door. The ingredients inside made him feel a warm reality. Although he was frustrated by He Yuzhu's evaluation, he still loved the process of cooking. Whenever he stood in the kitchen and focused on each dish, he always found a sense of peace and satisfaction.

Wang Qiang decided to give himself a small challenge - try to make a dish that suits He Yuzhu's taste. He knew that although he could not completely cater to He Yuzhu's taste, it was also a way to improve himself and challenge himself. He took out his mobile phone, searched for some recipes that He Yuzhu often made, checked them one by one, and decided to try to make a dish that he thought was more difficult.

Just as he was busy preparing ingredients, the phone suddenly rang. It was his friend Li Ming calling.

"Hello, Wang Qiang, good evening." Li Ming's voice came from the other end of the phone with a somewhat relaxed tone.

"Hello, Li Ming. What's wrong?" Wang Qiang asked while washing vegetables.

"I just saw you bought a lot of ingredients in the market. Are you planning to make any special dishes?" Li Ming asked.

"Well, yes. I plan to try to make a new dish." Wang Qiang's voice was full of excitement and determination. "In fact, I have been thinking about how to make a dish that will satisfy He Yuzhu. Although he has never given me a good review, I always feel that I should give it a try."

Li Ming smiled and said encouragingly, "In fact, the most important thing about cooking is that you like it and enjoy it. If you are satisfied with the food you cook, then you are successful. As for what others think, you don't have to care too much."

Wang Qiang felt a little comforted by Li Ming's words. He knew that although He Yuzhu's comments made him feel uneasy, he could not give up his love and pursuit of food. Li Ming's encouragement made him regain his confidence and decided to continue working hard to make dishes that he thought were good.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Qiang devoted himself more fully to the cooking process. He carefully prepared each ingredient and seasoned each seasoning. He hoped that through his efforts, he could make a truly delicious dish. Even if it could not fully meet He Yuzhu's standards, at least he could be proud of it.

During the cooking process, Wang Qiang's heart is full of expectations for the future and challenges to himself. He knows that his cooking skills are still far from perfect, but this does not hinder his pursuit and love of food. Every attempt and effort is an improvement of his ability and a cherishment of life.

Time passed little by little, and Wang Qiang finally finished his dish. He carefully placed the dish on the table and looked at it carefully. He knew that although this dish might not suit He Yuzhu's taste, it carried his passion for food and his challenge to himself.

He took the dish, sat down at the table, and took a bite. The deliciousness and satisfaction filled his heart with joy. Although he could not fully meet He Yuzhu's standards, he found his own progress and growth in this attempt. A deep sense of pride emerged in his heart, and this feeling made him feel very happy.

Wang Qiang recorded this cooking experience in his notebook, writing down every step and feeling in detail. He knows that these records are not only a testimony to his efforts, but also a preparation for future challenges. Although the road ahead is still long, he is ready to meet every challenge with a positive attitude.

Wang Qiang was busy in the kitchen all night, and although he completed the challenge he set, he felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.
