Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

He Daqing carried his lunch box and went to Li Huaide's office first.

There is basically nothing going on in the office right now. Everyone is either reading newspapers or drinking tea.

When He Daqing came, Li Huaide was drinking tea and reading the newspaper.

Seeing He Daqing coming with a lunch box, Li Huaide knew that the food was even more delicious than what he had eaten at the beach last time.

So he quickly said, "Master He, are you here to bring me some delicious food?"

He Daqing smiled and replied, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, Director Li! This is today's lunch. I made it when I just taught them, and there is some left, so I sent it to you to try. I want you to give me some suggestions."

Li Huaide took the lunch box with a smile on his face and opened it on the spot.

After all, this was made by He Daqing, and after he came back, the seasonings were more abundant than those in the seaside villages.

A rich and delicious smell wafted towards him, which aroused Li Huaide's appetite.

"Okay, okay! Master He, your cooking skills are truly amazing! Just smelling it makes it so delicious. I won't be polite then."

After saying that, he found his chopsticks and took a bite.

The delicious taste made Li Huaide nod and praise continuously.

"Master He, if our canteen can make food like this, the enthusiasm of the workers will definitely be greatly improved."

"Director Li, don't worry. I have taught everything carefully. I will go to each cafeteria to check later. There won't be any big problems."

Li Huaide nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Master He. With you, my work has become much easier!"

After saying that, he took out a pack of unopened cigarettes from the drawer and handed it to He Daqing.

"I got this from my father-in-law. There are only two packs. I'll give you one pack so you can save some."

He Daqing quickly put it in his pocket and said, "Okay, Director Li, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go to the cafeteria to take a look."

After saying that, he left Li Huaide.

Looking at He Daqing who left in a hurry, Li Huaide smiled and shook his head. This Master He was really a treasure old boy. With him, many logistics tasks were carried out smoothly.

Thinking of this, Li Huaide took out a half-drunk bottle of wine from under the table, poured himself a glass, and drank it leisurely with the seafood stew brought by He Daqing.

As for He Daqing, he left Li Huaide's office and turned to Director Yang's office.

Director Yang is busier than Li Huaide.

He Daqing saw Director Yang leaning over the desk writing something, so he cut to the chase.

"Director Yang, this is the hodgepodge I made with the seafood we brought back. The workers will eat this at noon. Why don't you try it first and see how it tastes?"

After hearing this, Director Yang looked up at the lunch box handed to him by He Daqing.

Although it was not opened, he could still smell the fragrance clearly.

So Director Yang put down the pen in his hand, took the lunch box, and said with a smile: "I still have great faith in Master He's craftsmanship. Since you sent it to me, I will try it."

As he said that, he opened the lunch box, found the chopsticks and took a bite.

"Master He, I didn't expect these inconspicuous seafood to become so delicious after your hands. It seems that we have to increase our purchasing efforts in the future. I heard that the prices are very cheap this time, right?"

"It's cheap, but it's hard to preserve on the way back and forth. If I pull too much, I'm afraid it won't be fresh when I get back."

While eating, Director Yang said, "This is also a problem. Let's have a meeting later to discuss it and see if there is any way to solve it."

After sitting with Director Yang for a while, He Daqing returned to the kitchen.

He first went to the second cafeteria to see how Sha Zhu was doing.

After all, Sha Zhu has followed He Daqing for the longest time, and last night he witnessed an even more high-end seafood processing process than today.

For today's simple hodgepodge, it is quite handy.

He Daqing took a look and found no major mistakes, so he turned around and went to the cafeteria.

When Zhang Tieshao saw He Daqing coming, he hurried over to greet him.

"Master, you are here."

He Daqing nodded. After the change of identities, the relationship between the two immediately became different.

Although Zhang Tieshao was also very enthusiastic and respectful towards He Daqing, there was still a sense of casualness and equality between the two.

Now Zhang Tieshao is as obedient as a child in front of He Daqing, and shows respect from the inside out.

He Daqing was quite satisfied with Zhang Tieshao.

He is down-to-earth and dutiful. Most importantly, although he has retired from the army, he still retains his military style.

He Daqing respected the soldiers of Long State from the bottom of his heart, so he was satisfied with his apprentice Zhang Tieshao.

I followed Zhang Tieshao around the canteen and gave him some pointers on some areas where the work was not done properly. I also told him some areas that needed attention.

He Daqing left the canteen with Zhang Tieshao's respectful farewell.

Arriving at the third canteen, He Daqing felt more at ease as it was managed by his nephew Luo Xiaofeng.

Luo Xiaofeng's arrival did not disappoint He Daqing. He now managed the third canteen in an orderly manner, and the quality of the food also improved a lot.

Now the workers around the third canteen no longer have to run so much to queue up for meals in the first or second canteen. Therefore, the workers also gave great affirmation to He Daqing's work.

The more Luo Xiaofeng got to know He Daqing, the more he admired his cheap uncle.

Even his master Hu Sihai had never seen some of He Daqing's methods of processing food.

Last time, I told my master about how He Daqing made a dish out of stone. Unexpectedly, even my master praised him and said that he was not as good as He Daqing.

He also told himself that he must study hard under his uncle master, and maybe he could surpass his master in the future.

So when he saw He Daqing, even though he was not his master, Luo Xiaofeng still showed him special respect.

He Daqing did not disappoint Luo Xiaofeng. He explained to him very clearly some of the questions he did not understand. He also patiently provided guidance on some areas that he could not handle.

This approach of teaching his apprentice everything he knew without any prejudice made Luo Xiaofeng admire He Daqing from the bottom of his heart.

He Daqing is also very happy now, there are four canteens in total. The monitors of three canteens are either his apprentices or his nephews, and one is his son.

It’s really worry-free to manage in this way.

Basically, almost no one will raise any objections to what I have explained.

This is much more comfortable than having a team leader like Yi Zhonghai.

Then he went to the fourth canteen to take a look. There were few chefs here and the amount of ingredients provided was also small.

He Daqing also patiently guided the squad leader Zhao Tiezhu and several cooks here.

Although these people wanted to become his disciples, He Daqing still felt that he should observe them further before making any decision.

We can't be too hasty about this matter, otherwise it would not be a good thing if people thought it was too easy for me to recruit disciples.

As the old man said, the harder it is to get something, the more you cherish it.

He Daqing also felt that the saying was right.
