Chapter 259: Unhappy Breakup
Since Dong Tiancheng's bamboo forest minor is a Western restaurant, Ke Hong also chose Western food this time, and served them one by one from the order of appetizers, soups, main dishes and desserts in the formal dining order for Fu Ye and others to enjoy. Of course, the Dong family has a special person responsible for serving the dishes, and he doesn't need to serve the dishes himself, as long as they are prepared in advance.
So Ke Hong sat at the table with Fu Ye and the others, waiting for the next person to serve the food.
"I don't usually eat much Western food, and the elderly can't accept new things." Fu Ye nodded solemnly, "But, Xiao Ke, I must taste the Western food you make." ”
In the past, when Fu Ye went to the bamboo forest to tune, he was the "old three", that is, the dishes he had eaten at Ke Hong's house that day. It seems that there is some kind of special meaning in those dishes, and every time he comes, he comes back and forth to taste that special meaning. Even if you order other dishes, you must have at least one or two dishes for the old three.
Immediately, the first appetizer was served. In front of each of them was a small cup of crystal clear green liquid, accompanied by a hint of spice powder and some unknown white strip.
"The appetizer is a cocktail." Ke Hong explained with a smile, "Try it first, and I'll go into details." ”
Dong Qingyue was next to Ke Hong, quietly reached out from under the table and patted Ke Hong lightly on the back, giving him an encouraging look, as if telling him that she believed in his ability. Ke Hong nodded slightly, looked at Dong Qingyue and then at the cocktail in front of her, as if urging her to try it quickly.
So, everyone picked up their glasses and drank the little cocktail in one gulp.
"Uh-huh!" Everyone at the scene was amazed, and all kinds of praises were endless.
"This taste! Sour and refreshing! It's amazing! Dong Tiancheng couldn't help but sigh.
Sister Feng also covered her face and smiled: "And this taste, what kind of meat is this, why is it so crispy and delicious?" ”
"Oh, it's crab leg meat." "I use celery, mint and apple juice to make a cocktail with a little rum and a sprinkle of spices like cinnamon. Topped with fresh crab leg meat, this is the appetizer. ”
Dong Qingyue nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "The emerald green color is healthy and good-looking, the taste is sweet and sour and refreshing, and the alcohol is rich, it is really the best choice for appetizing." I can't wait for the next dish. ”
"I don't know much about cooking, though. But this glass of wine is really delicious! The old turtle laughed heartily, "Ke Shao, can I have another drink!?" ”
"Stupid, this one is an appetizer, just for an appetizer. It's not for you to drink as wine. Ah Hu reprimanded beside him, then turned to Ke Hong and said with a smile: "Ke Shao, don't mind, he is a rough man and doesn't understand food." ”
"It's okay, I prepared food for the old turtle that is suitable for his portion, and I estimate that the old turtle's size may have to eat a little more than ordinary people." Ke Hong smiled bitterly and said, "You'll know when the time comes." ”
Next up is the soup, a very traditional chicken and mushroom cream soup, but the more traditional it is, the more it will test the craft.
"Oh. This kind of heavy taste ......" Sister Feng couldn't help but sigh, "Ah Hong, your craftsmanship is really amazing." ”
"Sister Feng, you are too polite." Ke Hong scratched his head and smiled modestly, "Okay, I know everyone is already hungry, so let's start today's main course, right?" ”
Immediately, a steak was served. The steak may be a little lacking in novelty for the main course, but the ingredients are lacking in originality. The cooking methods and sauces are not lacking in novelty at all. Ke Hong made the steak in the form of sweet and sour and drizzled it with a sauce made with chili oil, peanuts, sesame seeds and other ingredients to enrich the palate.
The side dish is served with raw vegetables, fried eggs, mashed potatoes, rice or pasta.
This combination can be used as a Western food, and the toppings can be replaced with rice to have a Chinese taste. Therefore, Kehong believes that it can meet the needs of everyone on site. Plus the spicy and umami flavor of the sauce and the sweet and sour sweetness of the steak itself......
As for the old turtle, it's a whole giant T-bone steak with more toppings.
"Haha, Ke Shao still knows me, and I still have to eat a lot of meat to eat!" The old turtle directly grabbed the steak and nibbled on it with a smile, and Ah Long on the side sighed slightly: "You guy." I'm going to use the utensils. ”
"Forget it, the old turtle has always been like this, let him go." Fu Ye said as he cut the steak and stuffed it into his mouth, "Oh, Xiao Ke, your craftsmanship is really amazing." I'd also like to invest in your restaurant if I can. And I will definitely be a regular customer of your restaurant, and in addition, I will book a few VIP membership cards in advance. ”
"Master Fu, don't worry, eat slowly." Dong Tiancheng on the side smiled with relief and said, "VIP membership card or something, you look too out-of-the-box when you say it." It is our honor for you to come to our restaurant for dinner, and we welcome you at any time. ”
"Hey, that's not right for you to say that." Fu Ye's face suddenly fell, "This is Xiao Ke's job, I like the food he cooks, of course I have to support him, wouldn't it be dismantling his platform to eat and drink for nothing?" Xiao Ke is my life-saving benefactor, I don't support him and want to dismantle his platform, do I look like the kind of person who will take revenge? ”
"Yes, yes, I'm not very good at talking, Master Fu, don't mind......" Dong Tiancheng hurriedly said in a panic.
Ke Hong noticed that Fu Ye was obviously not as kind as he was when talking to others, and he was slightly dissatisfied, which showed the ferocity of his former number one on the road, and even Ke Hong couldn't help but feel a little creepy.
Dong Qingyue hurriedly helped her father speak: "Master Fu, my dad just hopes that you can come and patronize more!" Ah Hong is also a very important person to me, how can we not support him? It's just that Fu Ye, you have such a good relationship with Ah Hong, coming to dinner is like coming to our house as a guest, how can a friend come to the house as a guest? That's what my dad meant. ”
"Well, look, your daughter talks a lot more than you do." Fu Ye nodded with his index finger, and Dong Tiancheng said with a smile.
Dong Tiancheng wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead, nodded his head again and again, and Fu Ye then smiled with satisfaction, patted Dong Qingyue's brain and said, "Well, you are very good, I am optimistic about you." I will support you and Xiao Ke's affairs. ”
Dong Qingyue's face suddenly turned red, and she said a little shyly: "Master Fu, don't laugh at me." Ah Hong is just a good brother of mine. ”
"Oh? Is it? Fu Ye asked with a meaningful smile, while Dong Qingyue was embarrassed and had nothing to say. So he hurriedly changed the topic: "That, Ah Hong, how do you cook this rice, it tastes so special!" ”
"Seasoned with garlic." Ke Hong said with a smile. "Would you like to add a little more?"
"Okay!" Dong Qingyue hurriedly replied, so Ke Hong added a small spoonful of rice to Dong Qingyue's plate. At this time, the old turtle also picked up his plate and said, "Ke Shao, I want to add another pound of rice!" A little noodles too! ”
The meal made everyone very satisfied, and after the meal, everyone expressed their approval to Ke Hong. But at this moment, Dong Tiancheng suddenly smiled and waved his hand to Ke Hong: "Young man, do you mind taking a walk with an old man after eating?" You know, when people get old, their digestive function also deteriorates a lot. ”
"Huh? Good. Ke Hong knew that Dong Tiancheng probably had something to say, so he agreed.
However, in fact, when Ke Hong followed Dong Tiancheng for a walk in this manor, looking at the back garden and swimming pool here, he felt more and more that the gap between this person and people was really too big.
"I'll tell you straight." Dong Tiancheng frowned, and his face was stern. It didn't seem to be as kind as Ke Hong expected, but there was some accusation: "Your cooking skills are excellent, I admit it." But I'm not sure if we can win three Michelin stars, as Mr. Stephen hoped. ”
"Actually, I'm not sure, I just want to help Satsuki, and Satsuki wants to help you." Ke Hong shrugged.
"You know what I don't like about you?" Dong Tiancheng said with some annoyance, "That's it, how can a man not have great ambitions?" Even if you're not sure if you can do it, how can you convince anyone else? ”
This made Ke Hong a little dissatisfied. He frowned and retorted, "I'm really not sure, I'm just cooking, I don't know about Michelin's ones." In my opinion, if you can make a meal that satisfies your guests. It doesn't matter if there are those three stars or not. At the end of the day, my original intention of cooking is to satisfy the people who eat it, and that's it. ”
Saying that, Ke Hong continued: "As for you to say, a man has no ambition......
Ke Hong sneered: "I did say that I have no ambitions, but that depends on how to define it." If you think that a man's success is to have a career worth hundreds of millions. That's right, I don't really have any big ambitions. However, in my opinion, a man's success should be to have a happy family, and this is my 'big ambition'. ”
Speaking of this, Ke Hong paused and continued to ask, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, what about Xiaoyue's mother?" Today is also a more important moment, right? Why didn't she show up? ”
Dong Tiancheng was speechless for a while, his eyes wandered left and right, and he said after a while: "When I was young, when I first started my business, life was relatively hard, and I was busy with work, so she ......"
"Uh-huh, I saw it, you didn't wear a wedding ring, so you're divorced." Ke Hong nodded, "Moreover, I guess it should have been a while since I divorced." So Satsuki grew up in an environment without a mother, and she told me that I often changed schools in high school, and it was difficult to make friends, so I had to indulge in online games and make friends with people online. ”
Saying that, Ke Hong began to be a little aggressive: "So, this is what you call a successful career?" His wife has left him and his daughter, and his daughter has no choice but to make friends when she grows up without a mother? If this is what you call success, then I can only say that I despise such success. But I'm not going to blame you for that, because ......"
Ke Hong snorted with his nose: "After all, everyone is different, just like you think that a successful career is success, and I think a happy family is success." I won't try to convince you, so don't try to convince me with your outlook on life, let's have our own opinions. ”
Dong Tiancheng couldn't afford to be angry, he pointed at Ke Hong and said, "Stinky boy, flamboy...... I sue you! ”
But Ke Hong interrupted him: "Xiaoyue is a strong girl, and she is also very brave and gentle, so she can grow into such an excellent girl today without a mother and without making friends, you should feel honored for her, not in your heart that your daughter has done nothing in her life, has not done anything, and has not achieved anything at all." ”
As he spoke, Ke Hong nodded. Fiercely waiting for Dong Tiancheng to reply: "That's right, I can see what you think in your heart." You can't hide your own nature in front of me. ”
Because, when Ke Hong talked about Dong Qingyue's "can't make friends without a mother, and can only make friends with people on the Internet in online games", a trace of anger and shame appeared on Dong Tiancheng's face. That's a kind of hatred that iron doesn't make steel.
And this simply made Ke Hong's lungs explode, in his opinion, Dong Qingyue is really a perfect daughter, beautiful, gentle, and strong, even without her mother's company, she has grown into such an excellent daughter. He never blamed his father for anything, he didn't blame his father for why he lost his mother, and even wanted to help his father achieve three Michelin stars, and this father actually blamed her for growing up so big and achieving nothing!
Although Dong Tiancheng tried not to show this as much as possible, Ke Hong could see that he had this kind of thought hidden in his heart. He thinks that Dong Qingyue was addicted to games and ignored her studies when she was in high school, and it was he who spent money to send her abroad, and after returning to China, he paid to open a branch of Zhulin Minor for Dong Qingyue to take care of.
However, a father spends so much money and material resources just so that his daughter can make some achievements. Dong Qingyue still didn't achieve nothing. Dong Tiancheng expected Dong Qingyue to be "blue", but Dong Qingyue made Dong Tiancheng extremely "disappointed". Although Dong Tiancheng loved his daughter so he didn't say it, he just thought so.
Ke Hong's psychological ability let him know that this is Dong Tiancheng's true thoughts.
"I'll tell you the truth, if you're not Satsuki's father, I'll punch you in the face right now." Ke Hong pointed at Dong Tiancheng's nose and scolded, "Is there such a father as you!?" Do you know how good your daughter is? Don't you feel honored for her, and you are still ashamed of her? What have you done for her? In addition to a rich life, have you ever given her fatherly love or motherly love? ”
Dong Tiancheng's face turned white with anger, and Ke Hong continued: "Don't pretend that you love her very much. That's an illusion I sue you! That's just an illusion that you have to act out of the middle of ethics! ”
"Nonsense!" Dong Tiancheng pointed at Ke Hong and gritted his teeth and said, "You don't know that I ...... for her."
"How much money was invested? That's accurate, right? And yet she didn't give you the expected return? Ke Hong said angrily, "Sue me, a father." How can he let his daughter associate with such a person and even allow them to get engaged when he knows that the father of his daughter's boyfriend has bad intentions for his daughter!? ”
At this time, Dong Tiancheng had nothing to say, and his face turned pale with anger. Ke Hong hadn't actually thought about this before, because he had never put himself in the perspective of a "father". But when he replaced Dong Qingyue with Ke Mengyao, and then thought about it for a while, he only felt that the anger burst out from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't suppress it.
"So, don't keep pretending here! All you love is your career! It's disgusting to be here pretending to be a benevolent father and teaching me how to be a human being! Ke Hong said, spitting fiercely: "Ahhhh ”
"You, you, you!" Dong Tiancheng pointed at Ke Hong, so angry that he was about to have a heart attack: "I sue you, don't think that Fu Ye will support you, I will definitely hand over my family to you!" If you want my family business, no way! ”
Ke Hong was already planning to turn around and leave, but when he heard the words, he turned his head again, pointed at Dong Tiancheng angrily, and seemed to be speechless for a while, and after a while he said, "Do you know? Whether I want to be with Satsuki or not has nothing to do with you, and it's not something you can decide, it's a matter for the two of us to decide! As for your little bit of family business......"
Saying that, Ke Hong sneered: "I said, for me, success is a happy family, what are your family businesses?" Hehe, keep it for yourself! As if someone is rare! Love to whomever to whom, I'm not interested anyway! ”
"You, you ......" Dong Tiancheng's face was distorted, and Ke Hong said angrily: "What are you!?" If you have something to say, you've already said it! You know, at first I thought you were a person who had been through life, and now it seems ......"
Ke Hong's face turned cold: "Now it seems that you are just a selfish bastard, you only know how to care about yourself, and never care about the feelings of others, even your own daughter!" The next three indiscriminate one! At best, it's just a rich subordinate! ”
"You...... Good! Dong Tiancheng said angrily, with a hint of ruthlessness on his face, and was about to say something, but his face suddenly froze, and then turned his head to look at Dong Qingyue, who had been standing on the side for an unknown amount of time, and said in a daze: "Yueyue, you ......"
Ke Hong was also stunned on the spot because of this situation, Dong Qingyue was also stunned, it seemed that she had heard the excited argument between the two of them before, so she seemed so panicked.
But soon Ke Hong came back to his senses, came to Dong Qingyue, pressed her little brain, turned to Dong Tiancheng and said coldly: "Didn't you say, I'm not sure if I have that ability?" I tell you, maybe I'm not good enough, but your daughter will definitely do it. You sit in your mansion, holding your Michelin star that you finally earned by selling her qualifications as a father, and watch how your daughter got her hands on it! ”
After speaking, Ke Hong took Dong Qingyue's hand and walked out: "Xiaoyue, let's go!" I'll go home first! ”
"Ahh That ......" Dong Qingyue whispered to Dong Tiancheng in a panic: "I'll send Ah Hong ......"
However, a little away from Dong Tiancheng, the two slowed down, obviously still having something to say.
"How much do you hear?" Ke Hong asked with a helpless sigh.
"Basically all of them, because your discussion is so ...... Intense. It's hard not to hear it. Dong Qingyue pursed her lips beside her, lowered her head and muttered.
"Alas, I'm sorry, but I can't help but think of your father's bastard behavior...... Come to gas. Ke Hong gritted his teeth in the end, "If I were him, I would definitely be extremely proud of you." ”
"Thank you......" Dong Qingyue said softly, Ke Hong lowered his head and looked at her face, although Dong Qingyue lowered his head, Ke Hong could see a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, so he gently touched Dong Qingyue's brain.
"Although I never complained about this to my dad, I actually had these thoughts in my heart." Dong Qingyue leaned into Ke Hong's arms, pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "However, I don't think even this will change anything, and my mother won't come back, so I still want my dad to be proud of me, but I haven't done well enough......"
"It's because he doesn't understand your goodness." Ke Hong pursed his lips and said, "I don't understand your strength and gentleness." ”
Dong Qingyue chuckled, reached out and pinched Ke Hong's face and reprimanded: "I really don't know who is the older one, you little ghost, obviously you are a younger brother, why do you always want to behave like an elder brother?" ”
"Because you need to." Ke Hong said with a slight sigh.
"Maybe it......" Dong Qingyue pursed her lips and sighed, a cute little dimple appeared on her cheek, Ke Hong noticed that Dong Qingyue had two dimples on her face, which was particularly gentle and delicate.
"Satsuki." Ke Hong called softly, while Dong Qingyue responded in a low voice: "Huh? ”
"You must win three Michelins, and don't let your father look down on you." Ke Hong said firmly. Dong Qingyue's voice became much more powerful, and she nodded and said, "Hmm!" ”
Immediately, Ke Hong and Dong Qingyue came to the garage, ready to ask Dong Qingyue to send him back.
"Help me and Fu Ye apologize to them, okay?" Ke Hong helped Dong Qingyue brush away a strand of scattered broken hair, sighed and said, "We broke up unhappily today, and we will entertain them next time to make up for it." ”
"I'm worried that they will ...... my dad," Dong Qingyue said with a slight wry smile, and then, the expression on her face softened, and she stared at Ke Hong's eyes affectionately and said, "Ah Hong, thank you for today." Don't mind what my dad said, like you said, you have different philosophies, and I think your understanding of success is what a man should really do. ”
"I'm glad we agreed on that." Ke Hong stretched out his hand to Dong Qingyue and smiled, but Dong Qingyue just opened her arms and gave Ke Hong a big hug. (To be continued.) )
PS: 6000 words big chapter, I was very angry for the helmsman, and there were one or two more additions this month. Thanks to the two monthly passes of the lonely
