Qian Chunhua stood in front of the stove with a calm and focused expression on his face, his hands busy all the time.

The braised meat on the stove was bubbling in the iron pot, and the aroma filled the entire kitchen.

Qian Xingshan stood aside, eyes wide open, watching Qian Chunhua's every move intently.

He held a large spoon in his hand, ready to stir the braised meat in the pot according to Qian Chunhua's instructions.

"Xingshan, look at the heat, it has to be moderate." Qian Chunhua pointed at the flame under the pot and said seriously, "If the fire is too high, the braised meat will be overcooked, and if the fire is too low, it will not be cooked. You have to learn to control the heat to make delicious braised meat."

Qian Xingshan nodded, looking focused.

He carefully glanced at the burning wood in the stove, afraid of making a mistake.

"And this seasoning is also key." Qian Chunhua said, scooping a scoop of soy sauce from the seasoning jar beside him and pouring it into the pot.

"The soy sauce should not be too much or too little, but just the right amount. This will make the braised meat taste more mellow."

Qian Xingshan listened and took notes carefully.

He understood that making braised meat was not as simple as controlling the heat and seasoning, but more importantly, it required dedication.

As time goes by, the braised meat in the pot gradually becomes bright red in color and smells fragrant.

Qian Chunhua picked up a piece of braised meat with chopsticks, tasted it, and nodded: "Well, not bad, it has some flavor."

Upon hearing this, Qian Xingshan showed a happy smile on his face, and the image was not very complicated.

The two continued to watch until the braised meat in the pot was fully cooked and filled with fragrance.

Qian Chunhua looked at the full pot of braised meat and smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, Xingshan, the braised meat is delicious this time. You have mastered the basic skills. You will be responsible for making it next time."

Under the guidance of Qian Chunhua, Qian Chunhua finally let go. Qian Xingshan spent two days and after ruining three pots of braised meat, he finally finished the first dish.

As for the rest, Qian Xingshan needs to figure it out on his own and become proficient at it.

…

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the Dong family entered the mansion carrying a load of gifts.

This time, the Dong family came out in full force, even Mrs. Dong, who usually lives in seclusion, came out in person, showing that she attached great importance to this visit.

Since returning to Beijing, the Dong family has been so busy that they have hardly any time to rest. Today, he finally got some free time, so he couldn't wait to pay them a visit.

The door of the mansion slowly opened, and the Dong family members came in one after another and were warmly welcomed into the mansion.

As the host of the mansion, Qian Chunhua personally took charge of entertaining guests.

She personally brewed a pot of fragrant tea for the guests. Lu Qin followed closely behind, assisting her skillfully. The two of them worked in perfect harmony, and soon the fragrance of tea filled the air.

Dong Cong, this naughty little guy, has developed a deep friendship with Zhao Qingfeng since they have been together every day.

They had only been separated for a few days, but when she saw Zhao Qingfeng again, she screamed with excitement, as if she wanted to vent all the longing she had felt for him over the past few days.

Qingsong and Lu Wu smiled at each other when they saw this, knowing that the two little guys were going to make a big fuss again.

So, they took the initiative to volunteer to take Dong Cong and Zhao Qingfeng to the Houyuan Garden, letting them run wild there.

Little girls like Zhao Xiaoling, Dong Yan and Xiao Wu also followed them and ran to the back garden.

Madam Dong took the tea, took a sip, then looked around in confusion and found that the young and energetic teenagers who had traveled with her on the way back to Beijing were nowhere to be seen.

She frowned slightly, looked at Qian Chunhua and asked, "Where are Lu and the others? Why is none of them missing?"

Qian Chunhua smiled slightly and explained: "They came to the village to help."
