Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world

At noon, the sunlight shines through the half-open windows, dappling onto every corner of the Fengze Garden kitchen, adding a bit of warmth and vitality to this busy space.

The blazing stove fire illuminated He Yuzhu's focused and determined face. His hands seemed to possess magic, flying and jumping between the iron pot and the spatula. Every stir-fry was precise and powerful, emitting an enticing aroma that instantly filled the entire space.

Master Li Chuqiu stood by and originally planned to guide the young apprentice in detail, but unexpectedly discovered that He Yuzhu's love and talent for cooking far exceeded his imagination.

He doesn't need any extra words or gestures. Just relying on his respect and understanding for the ingredients, he can interpret every Sichuan dish to perfection.

Fuqi Feipian, bright red oil, spicy and fragrant;

Steamed Jiangtuan, the meat is tender and the soup is rich;

Dongpo pork elbow is bright red in color, fat but not greasy;

Twice-cooked pork, with a strong garlic flavor and slightly curled meat slices;

Daqian's dry-fried fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of sourness and sweetness. Every bite is an ultimate temptation to your taste buds.

When the eight dishes were placed on the long wooden table one by one, the colorful and fragrant dishes looked like a beautiful painting, making people salivate.

He Yuzhu finally stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat from his forehead with satisfaction, and looked at his masterpiece, with pride and joy flashing in his eyes.

He turned and looked at Li Chuqiu, and they smiled at each other. No words were needed. The tacit understanding and inheritance between master and disciple were best interpreted at this moment.

"Master, I..." He Yuzhu hesitated to speak, his heart full of gratitude and awe.

Li Chuqiu patted his shoulder gently and said with a smile: "Good boy, you are better than your teacher. Your teacher was right about you. Keep working hard. You will definitely have a place in the future Sichuan cuisine world."

He Yuzhu smiled and lowered his head.

……

In an elegant private room in Fengze Garden, a middle-aged man and seven street office staff members sat around an unpretentious round table.

The middle-aged man revealed an extraordinary temperament. He was the leader who was born in Sichuan and had a deep affection for the food of his hometown.

Today, he specially brought his team here just to take a look at the Sichuan cuisine of Fengzeyuan and taste the legendary delicious food.

As the waiters walked back and forth, the eight Sichuan dishes carefully prepared by He Yuzhu were presented to everyone one by one.

Each dish is as exquisite as a work of art, with attractive colors and fragrant aroma, making people salivate.

After some polite greetings, everyone finally couldn't resist the urge for delicious food and picked up their chopsticks to taste it.

After the first bite, you will feel surprise and satisfaction, and exclamations of praise will be heard in the box.

"It's delicious, so delicious! The taste is simply irresistible!" A staff member exclaimed while eating, his eyes shining with infinite love for food.

"Excuse me, what is the name of this dish?" Another guest pointed at the delicious dish on the plate and asked the waiter curiously.

"This is Fuqi Feipian, one of our specialties." The waiter replied with a smile, his words full of pride.

After tasting a few bites, the middle-aged man on the main seat couldn't help but nod and praise: "Not bad, not bad, the taste is spicy and fresh, with distinct layers, it is indeed a rare delicacy."

There was a sense of familiarity from home in his words, as if at this moment, through this dish, he had found the long-lost taste memory.

Then, he picked up a piece of Daqian dry-fried fish and gently put it into his mouth. The fish meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a moderate sweetness and sourness, and the perfect seasoning made people linger on the taste.

After tasting it carefully, he couldn't help but sigh: "This dry-fried fish is just the right amount of sweet and sour. I've never tasted such authentic Sichuan cuisine since I came to Beijing. The cooking skills of the chef from Fengzeyuan are really admirable."

Several people nearby also echoed the sentiment, their faces were filled with satisfied and happy smiles. The whole box was filled with a warm and harmonious atmosphere. Everyone ate and talked, enjoying this rare time of gathering.

After eating a certain amount, the leader suddenly asked the waiter in the private room, "Can I meet your Sichuan chef?"

"Sure, sure. I'll go tell the boss right away and ask our chef to come over!" the waiter agreed repeatedly.

The leader's request made the atmosphere in the box even more lively. The waiter quickly responded and walked briskly between the corridor and the kitchen.

When Boss Shen Teng heard the news, he was filled with joy and pride. He did not expect that He Yuzhu's cooking skills could reach such a level and be appreciated by this leader. This is undoubtedly a great affirmation of Fengzeyuan's cooking skills.

Shen Teng quickly straightened his clothes and strode towards the kitchen with a bit of solemnity and anticipation.

He personally led He Yuzhu away from the busy stove, through the bustling restaurant, to the door of the expectant private room.

"Everyone, please allow me to introduce you to you," Shen Teng said in a loud voice with a smile as he pushed open the door. "This is the chef who cooked for us at noon today, He Yuzhu."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the box looked at him with curiosity and surprise.

He Yuzhu stood beside Shen Teng, appearing a little shy but confident. He smiled and nodded to everyone.

"What? This is the chef of your Fengze Garden?" A staff member widened his eyes in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that the young man in front of him had such superb cooking skills. "Boss Shen, are you sure? How can the dishes on this table at noon today be made without ten or twenty years of cooking skills? But how can this chef be so young..."

Seeing this, Shen Teng smiled even more meaningfully, as he knew very well that such a reaction was expected.

"The dishes on this table at noon today were indeed made by He Yuzhu. Although he is young, he has extraordinary skills," Shen Teng explained. "He is a disciple of Sichuan cuisine master Li Chuqiu. He has learned the true teachings of his master. The Sichuan dishes he makes have a unique taste and are unforgettable."

At this point, Shen Teng turned to the waiter beside him and said, "Go quickly and call Master Li over so that everyone can meet this master of Sichuan cuisine, who is also He Yuzhu's mentor."

The waiter left in response, and the atmosphere in the box became more lively because of this series of surprises.

Everyone looked at He Yuzhu with admiration, and some even began to ask him about his learning experience and cooking experience.

In response to their questions, He Yuzhu always said, "It's because of my master's good teaching..."

This made Li Chuqiu, who had just passed by, very happy.

"Master Li, please come here quickly and explain to everyone how you taught this talented disciple of yours..." Li Teng called to Li Chuqiu with a big smile on his face.

Hearing Li Teng's call, Li Chuqiu quickly quickened his pace and strode over here.
