Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

After He Daqing and his colleagues took photos with their leader, in order not to delay his work, they returned to the kitchen under the leadership of their leader surnamed Sun.

As for the group photos, they will be mailed back to them when the time comes.

This banquet mission is now completely completed.

The leader surnamed Sun was also very happy. He asked someone to bring the things that had been prepared long ago to everyone.

Each person received two boxes of snacks from the state banquet and a subsidy of 30 yuan.

Each person also has a commemorative medal representing honor, with words such as "Big House Banquet" written on it, held in a certain year and month.

It can be said that all the gifts combined are not as valuable as this commemorative medal.

Like everyone else, He Daqing carefully put away the commemorative medal.

After saying goodbye to everyone one by one, He Daqing rode his bicycle home.

It was almost dinner time when I got home.

As soon as He Daqing entered the gate of the courtyard, he saw Yan Bugui watering the flowers at the door.

He saw He Daqing coming back with two boxes of snacks hanging on the handlebars.

He immediately asked happily, "Daqing is back, you are famous now. We all know that you went to the big house to host a banquet. It really brings honor to our courtyard."

"I'm just a cook. I cook wherever I go. What's there to be proud of?"

He Daqing shook his head and replied calmly.

Yan Bugui stared at the snack box hanging on the handlebars of his bicycle and asked, "Daqing, where did you bring this back from? Is this something good that only leaders can eat?"

Looking at Yan Bugui's fiery eyes, He Daqing pushed his bicycle inside.

I replied: "I haven't tasted it either. I'll tell you what it tastes like after I go back and try it."

After he finished speaking, he had already entered the corridor of the middle courtyard.

Yan Bugui looked at He Daqing's back and cursed angrily, "How stingy! Two bags of such big food, but he didn't even let me try one!"

I was so angry that I didn't even water the flowers. I just put down the kettle and went home.

Sha Zhu and his friends heard the sound of a bicycle at the door and ran out immediately.

Seeing that it was indeed his father who came back, he immediately said happily: "Dad, are you done with your work over there? How was it? Was it lively today? Did you see those big leaders?"

He Yushui was also on holiday at home today. She also ran over to look at He Daqing and asked excitedly, "Dad, you are so amazing! You can actually go to that place to host a banquet. I couldn't believe it when I found out yesterday."

He Daqing ignored Sha Zhu, the fool. He smiled and replied to He Yushui: "What's the big deal? With Dad's cooking skills, it's normal for him to go there."

"Come and see what goodies I brought back for you. Take them in and share them with your mother, your sister-in-law and the others."

After saying that, he took down the two boxes of snacks from the handlebars and handed them to He Yushui.

He Yushui took the snack and asked happily, "Dad, is this the snack you made? Is it delicious?"

"I haven't tasted it either, but they are all made by famous chefs, so they shouldn't be wrong. You'll know after you take it home and try it."

He Yushui returned home skipping and hopping with snacks in her hand.

Sha Zhu watched and hurried to follow. He had never eaten this kind of snack before and wanted to see the difference between those made by the masters and those he usually bought.

When He Daqing entered the room, he saw Chen Xueru had already opened a box of snacks, revealing eight exquisitely crafted snacks inside.

He Daqing only heard that the pastry chef this time was specially invited from the south, and he also made southern specialty dim sum.

Yu Li looked at the snacks in the box and said in amazement: "This is so beautiful. Just looking at the workmanship makes me drool."

He Yushui asked, "Dad, what are these snacks? Do you know their names?"

The box contains eight snacks in four different styles.

Although He Daqing had never eaten them, he recognized these snacks.

He pointed to one of them and said, "This is a special pastry from Wenzhou in the south. It's called Wenzhou Osmanthus Cake. It's very delicious."

"The remaining three are Dingsheng Cake from Zhejiang, Sesame Cake from Quzhou, and Peanut Cake. They are all very famous cakes. You will know after you try them."

He Yushui couldn't wait any longer. After He Daqing finished speaking, she picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and handed it to Chen Xueru, and then took a piece of Dingsheng cake and gave it to Yu Li.

He held the osmanthus cake in one hand and the Dingsheng cake in the other and prepared to eat.

When Sha Zhu saw this, he hurriedly said, "Yu Shui, don't eat it all by yourself, let me have a taste too."

He Yushui took a quick bite, then handed it to Sha Zhu and said, "Here, do you want to eat what I've eaten?"

When Sha Zhu saw this, he glared at the sister of this treacherous brother and picked up a piece of peanut biscuit.

Chen Xueru and Yu Li took a bite and both felt that the snack was many times more delicious than what they bought outside. A piece of snack disappeared in just a few bites.

Seeing everyone enjoying the meal, He Daqing also took a piece of sesame cake and tasted it. It was indeed delicious. He still couldn't make this taste for the time being.

A box of snacks was eaten up by everyone in a short time.

Sha Zhu looked at the remaining box with some reluctance.

Chen Xueru quickly put it away and said, "Eat this box today and eat the rest next time."

He Yushui pulled Chen Xueru's arm and said, "Mom, then you have to wait until I'm home to eat together. You can't eat secretly when I'm not home."

Chen Xueru smiled and nodded, "Okay, we'll eat together when you come back. If there's anything delicious at home, I'll let you have your share."

After the family had a great time, they asked He Daqing about the banquet he had prepared over the past two days.

He Daqing also told everyone what he could say and took out the commemorative medal for them to see.

While others were just watching the fun, Sha Zhu was holding it in his hands and looking at it over and over again with an envious look on his face.

Deep down in his heart, he also wanted to receive such a reward, which represented the highest honor for a chef.

He Daqing looked at his silly son, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You should practice well. When your cooking skills reach a certain level, you can also get such an opportunity with your own ability."

Sha Zhu nodded: "Dad, I will listen to you. I want to learn all your skills, and I will go there to show my skills in the future!"

He Daqing was so angry that he slapped him on the head.

"What's the point of just learning my craft? You should work hard to innovate and find your own way. I think you are just a blockhead!"

Sha Zhu was used to being beaten by He Daqing, so he didn't get angry. He just chuckled and went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

It was getting dark at this time and everyone started preparing dinner.

He Daqing hadn't seen his two little darlings for two days. When he entered the room and saw them sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but poke their tender little faces with his fingers. They were so cute!

If Chen Xueru hadn't come in to stop it, both children might have been woken up by He Daqing.

Yu Li is now three months pregnant and is slowly starting to show. During this period, Sha Zhu doesn't let her do any heavy work, even helping with cooking when he gets home, for fear that Yu Li will get tired.

After the family finished their meal, He Daqing could finally have a good rest.

From yesterday till now, he was indeed very tired and had not had much rest.

Only after returning home can I sleep peacefully.
