Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

Night had completely fallen, and the courtyard of the quadrangle was lit up with soft lights, shining on the quaint blue brick floor, reflecting a warm glow. He Daqing had just shared a sumptuous dinner with his family, and walked out of the house in a happy mood, wanting to take a walk around to relax his mood. Walking on the street, his steps seemed particularly brisk, and his heart was still recalling the satisfied smiles and cheerful conversations of his family at dinner just now.

Walking slowly along the street, He Daqing's eyes accidentally fell on a small butcher's shop. There were several pieces of bright red meat hanging in front of the shop, giving off an alluring aroma. Although he didn't want to buy anything in particular, the aroma and warm lights made him feel at home. He slowed down his pace and approached the butcher's shop.

The scene in the store surprised He Daqing. The store was clean and warm. The butcher was cutting meat attentively. There were fresh meats and some home-cooked dishes around. Under the light, the color of the meat looked particularly tempting, exuding an irresistible charm. When He Daqing walked in, the store owner saw him come in and immediately showed a warm smile.

"Good evening, sir. Would you like to order anything?" the boss asked enthusiastically while wiping the meat residue off his hands.

He Daqing looked up at the boss and replied with a smile, "Good evening. I was just passing by and saw that your meat looked very fresh, so I came in to take a look. Actually, I already bought some ingredients today, but I saw that the meat here was particularly attractive."

The boss smiled even more cordially after hearing this, "This is the specialty of our store. We recently bought some special meat that tastes very good. Would you like to try it?"

He Daqing was touched by the boss's enthusiasm. He thought that maybe he could prepare some special ingredients for his family to bring them more surprises. So he walked to the display stand and carefully examined the meat. The boss also enthusiastically introduced the characteristics of various meats to him.

"This piece is our signature meat. It's tender and has evenly distributed fat, making it perfect for stewing." The boss said as he took out a piece of meat. "And this piece is our newest beef. It's tender and juicy, and is especially good for hot pot."

He Daqing listened to the boss's introduction and began to make plans in his mind. He knew that there were many ways to surprise his family, and this special meat might add a sense of freshness to their daily life.

"I'll just buy this signature meat," He Daqing decided, pointing to a piece of meat that looked very tempting, "and add some fresh beef as a backup."

The boss quickly cut the meat, packed it, and handed it to He Daqing. He Daqing took the packed meat and felt satisfied. He knew that the meat was not only a kind of care for his family, but also a manifestation of his love and expectation for his family.

When checking out, the boss chatted with him enthusiastically, "Sir, although business is a little slow during this period, guests like you always make us feel warm."

He Daqing smiled and replied: "In fact, everyone needs this warmth. Not only you, but all of us. Some small surprises in life may bring us more joy."

After paying the bill, He Daqing carried the bag and continued walking in the night. He felt the breeze on his face, and a sense of relief and joy rose in his heart. He knew that although there were many challenges and difficulties in life, through these subtle care and efforts, he could make his family feel more warmth and love.

On the way home, He Daqing's thoughts kept swirling. He thought that although there were sometimes some small disputes and unhappiness at home, these were not enough to cover up the deep affection between family members. He hoped that through these thoughtful actions, he could make his family feel more happy and satisfied.

Back at his home in the courtyard, He Daqing put the meat he bought into the refrigerator, his heart full of anticipation. He imagined the joyful expressions on his family's faces when they ate the special meat in the next few days, and his heart was filled with satisfaction.

He walked gently into the yard, looked at the starry sky, and took a deep breath. The night sky was dotted with stars, the breeze was blowing, and everything in the courtyard seemed peaceful and beautiful. He Daqing silently thanked every beautiful moment in his life, and was also full of expectations for the future.

Back at the courtyard, the night gradually deepened, and the courtyard was so quiet that it seemed as if the whole world had fallen asleep. He Daqing had just returned from the butcher shop, carrying a bag of carefully selected meat, and his heart was still full of excitement and anticipation. He thought about making some special meat dishes for his family tonight, especially a delicious dinner for his sister He Yushui, so that she could relax a little in her busy study life and feel her brother's care and support.

He walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out the meat, and prepared to start working. The light in the kitchen was soft, reflecting on the neat countertop. He Daqing washed his hands and began to prepare the ingredients. He took out pieces of tender meat, cut and seasoned them carefully, and every move was particularly focused and meticulous.

He thought about the menu for tonight and decided to prepare a signature stew and a unique beef stir-fry for He Yushui. He knew that his sister was under a lot of pressure from studying, and occasionally having a delicious meat dish could bring her a little satisfaction and pleasure.

While cutting the meat, He Daqing's thoughts kept swirling. He recalled what his sister looked like when she was a child, the little girl who always had a smile on her face, who has now grown into an independent young person. Although the years have left traces on her, her smile is still the warmest light in the family. He Daqing knows that as a brother, he has the responsibility and obligation to care for her, especially in her study and life.

"I must do it well this time!" He Daqing encouraged himself silently in his heart. He has never had much confidence in cooking, but for his sister, he is willing to make more efforts. He believes that through his efforts, he can make her feel more warmth and care.

As time passed, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of stewed meat and the tempting taste of fried beef. He Daqing carefully seasoned each dish to ensure that every bite would bring people full satisfaction. He skillfully flipped the spatula in his hand, with a smile on his lips. At this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of happiness and accomplishment.

At this moment, the kitchen door was gently pushed open, and He Yushui walked in. She looked a little tired, but when she saw her brother busying around, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Brother, haven't you rested yet? I smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but come over to take a look." He Yushui walked into the kitchen and said in surprise when she saw a table full of sumptuous dishes.
