Dong Qingyue said so, and Ke Hong could only go out. However, he probably knew who there would be, so he cleaned up and went outside with Dong Qingyue, but he had just come to the hall when he noticed one of the tables. It's hard not to notice the table.

"Wanjun, Xiaoman, Shu Yu?" Ke Hong asked in surprise, and happily greeted the three of them.

"Your first day as a chef today, such an important day, how can we not come." Ye Wanjun said with a smile.

"Yes, it was Sister Xiaoyue who invited us here and prepared a special table for us." Qin Shuyu said with a smile, looking at Ke Hong gently, "I told us a long time ago that I wanted to surprise you." ”

"Let's cheer you on, and by the way, let's taste the food that Ah Hong brings out as a chef." Su Man held his chin with his hands and said with a smile, "It's really delicious." ”

Ke Hong looked at the dishes in front of them, at this time they were all enjoying the main course, Ye Wanjun chose crispy and spicy pork ribs, Qin Shuyu chose the secret fried pork belly, Su Man chose lobster and seafood pasta, and there was a fourth serving on the table, a special Hawaiian sea breeze risotto.

"This one is mine," Dong Qingyue said with a smug smile, "As the boss, I also have to examine your craftsmanship." ”

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, how is my workmanship? Still satisfied? Ke Hong couldn't help but smile, "Please make some suggestions, so that I can improve it in the future?" ”

"But there's no opinion, it's delicious." Ye Wanjun smiled and showed a row of shell teeth, "This rib, although it is such a big piece, it is crispy on the outside, but it is so tender and juicy on the inside, and the meat is so rotten that it falls off with a light bite, with this special spicy sauce, it is really delicious." I've never had such delicious ribs. ”

"The pork belly was also delicious. It's just the right amount of sweetness and not greasy at all. Qin Shuyu laughed softly.

"The sauce of this lobster pasta is also delicious, not salty at all, but the flavor is very strong, and the texture is so smooth and delicate. I love it. Su Man also nodded happily in agreement.

"Looks like my chef is qualified at this table." Dong Qingyue also smiled after tasting a spoonful of risotto, "Okay, you go to the other tables of guests to have a look, Fu Ye and they are also waiting for you." ”

Ke Hong pressed Dong Qingyue and Qin Shuyu's little brains, and then walked to the other table. on this table. Fu Ye, Sister Feng, Lao Gui, Ah Long and Ah Hu, as well as Shi Zewen and Shi Zewu, are all there, and there are a few unfamiliar faces.

"Xiao Ke." Fu Ye got up and patted Ke Hong's shoulder and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I won't be able to do without your restaurant in the future, your skills are getting better and better, now, I really feel that I have lived in vain in the past few decades." ”

"Look at what you said, I'll be proud of you like this." Ke Hong said a little embarrassed.

"No, Ke Shao, it's not an exaggeration at all." Ah Hu teased, "Our Fu Ye has eaten a lot of good things." I've been to high-end restaurants, but I've rarely had such a high opinion of any restaurant. ”

"yes, Ah Hong." Sister Feng also gently grabbed his arm, "You must know that Fu Ye has been to many places, and this evaluation is really high......" As she spoke, Sister Feng gently pulled Ke Hong to the side, glanced at Ye Wanjun's table, and laughed quietly: "Ah Hong, you are really blessed." Do you know how popular that table is? ”

This Ke Hong absolutely knows. Ye Wanjun and the four of them sat down at the table, and even the scorching sun outside couldn't help but be overshadowed. He dared to say that there were even people willing to pay a million to join that table. In fact, Ke Hong also wanted to join that table, but unfortunately now he has something to do......

"Which of them do you like best?" Sister Feng asked with a chuckle.

"Ah...... It's hard to make up your mind, they're all too ...... Excellent and perfect. Ke Hong said distressedly. It was so perfect that I didn't feel like I was qualified to stand by them. ”

"You should be confident, in fact, Ah Hong, you are also a good boy." Sister Feng smiled softly, "However, those girls are indeed perfect, but perfection itself is also a shortcoming, don't you think?" ”

"Hmm......" Ke Hong raised his eyebrows and groaned. Sister Feng continued to smile and said, "I don't think you are worthy of those girls, the people who will say that just don't understand you." As for boys, you can't judge by their appearance alone. If you think flowers are stuck in cow dung just because you see an average-looking boy walking with a particularly beautiful girl......"

Saying that, Sister Feng shook her head: "Then I can only say that this person is too superficial." Because, if it were me, I would think that since such a beautiful girl would like a boy with an average appearance, it means that there must be something very special about this boy. The more beautiful the girl next to her, the more talented he is. ”

"Thank you, Sister Feng." Ke Hong couldn't help but smile, "However, I still have to continue to work hard." ”

"Well, come on, you're welcome to consult my sister." Sister Feng touched Ke Hong's brain and said, "Okay, you go and get busy with something else, those stinky boys are eating well now, and next time you're not so busy, we'll talk again." ”

After speaking, Sister Feng returned to the table and sat down, and waved her hand to Ke Hong to signal him to get busy.

Ke Hong then came to the next table, Hua Yinsu, Shi Dai and Sun Qin sat at a table, Hua Yinsu waved to him happily, and her two followers had a straight face. Ke Hong asked Hua Yinsu with a smile: "This beautiful lady who has tasted the craftsmanship of various high-end hotels and various chefs, I don't know how my craftsmanship compares to theirs?" ”

"Compared to Ah Hong's craftsmanship, the food made by those people is like pig food." Hua Yinsu smiled and wrinkled his nose and said.

"It's like flattery when you say that, so it's okay to tell the truth." Ke Hong frowned slightly.

"People just tell the truth, it's because of the seasoning of love, right?" Hua Yinsu covered her face and smiled shyly.

"Okay, okay," Ke Hong smiled a little angrily, "Then you have to eat more, don't waste it." Don't worry, the dishes in this set meal you ordered are not high in calories. ”

"Well, Ah Hong is the best, always so thoughtful." Hua Yinsu smiled and nodded.

Ke Hong swept around, and there seemed to be no acquaintances, so he prepared to go back to the kitchen.

But at this time, a person suddenly grabbed his arm: "Hey." Big brother, don't you see us? ”

Ke Hong slowly turned his head and found that it was Zhou Borong, Nanyi and Long Deqing.

"That, big brother. We know that your restaurant is open today, so I came to cheer you on, isn't it......" Zhou Borong smiled flatteringly, "That, big brother, your craftsmanship is really worthy of its reputation, and this cooking is really ......"

"So I'm not saying that. Isn't it okay if you don't come? Add to my workload. Ke Hong frowned and said, "Okay, okay, let's leave quickly after eating, and make way for the other guests." ”

After speaking, Ke Hong continued to walk to the next table. In addition to this group of acquaintances, there are also some regular customers. The difference between the restaurant and the usual after the reorganization is that there is an additional band next to the customers who are now dining.

This band plays some world-famous songs with a relatively relaxed atmosphere, which makes people feel calm, and has a comfortable and lazy feeling of going home. And this atmosphere makes the customers in the restaurant lazy too. They all speak very quietly. In this way, the atmosphere in the restaurant is also guided to be quieter, not as noisy as other restaurants, and people can rest from body to mind.

In the corner of the restaurant, there was a separate table, and Mr. Stephen sat in that corner, sipping wine and food, as if the world around him had nothing to do with him.

"I don't know if this restaurant will win three Michelin stars," Mr. Stephen said. took a sip of red wine, then elegantly cut off a small piece of pork belly and handed it to his mouth, chewed it carefully, and then wiped his mouth with a napkin. "But for me, it's definitely the best restaurant in the world." Your menu today is great, Chef Ke. ”

"It's good if you're satisfied." Ke Hong grinned, knowing that he should not stay for long, "Then I won't disturb you to enjoy this moment." ”

Mr. Stephen simply raised his glass to him and smiled, and continued to be alone in the wonderful combination of food, wine, and music. The people and things around him have nothing to do with him.

Seeing that he had almost said hello, Ke Hong returned to the kitchen again and began to get busy.

To be honest, being a chef is not that hard, at least not in terms of the amount of work and the content of the job. Just try the food made by the kitchen and find a way to pick out the punctures, such as the meat is too old and tender, the sauce is too salty and light, or the presentation is wrong. But it's easy to say easy, but it's hard to say...... In fact, it is rare that ordinary people can't imagine it at all.

Because to put it bluntly, the chef must be a perfectionist, and there must be no flaws. Born perfectionist and deliberately being a perfectionist are two different concepts, Ke Hong had to take care to ensure that there was no flaw in each dish, the taste, the platter, and the doneness of each piece of meat must be perfect. It's like walking a tightrope, always be careful.

This kind of pressure is still terrifying, of course, Ke Hong is actually a little harsh on himself, because most of the guests on the scene can't tell the difference so little, but since the goal is to be three-star Michelin, you can't think about getting by.

It was busy until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the peak of lunch finally passed, and the customers left satisfied, while the remaining customers enjoyed afternoon tea and coffee in the store, waiting for the arrival of dinner with great anticipation.

At this point, the chefs finally had time to rest and enjoy their lunch, which was a few hours late. In these formal dining rooms, there is a "convention" in the kitchen, which is the storage of staff meals. Each chef is responsible for one dish and makes up the "staff meal" for the chefs in the entire kitchen.

After the chefs quickly prepared the staff meal, Yang Yan and Dong Qingyue also took the waiters in the store to the kitchen with a few glasses of champagne, intending to celebrate with everyone. It is not an exaggeration to say that the opening was such a success today, and the guests were so full of praise for the dishes they tasted today that most of the guests were reluctant to leave.

At this time, these guests are still sitting in the shop, enjoying afternoon tea and coffee, waiting for dinner time to be ready to feast again. As for turnover, since today is the first day of opening, the whole venue is 7% off, but despite this, the turnover has reached a new high. The long queue of customers outside the door during rush hour stretches across the street, which is a spectacle.

"Congratulations, Ah Hong." Dong Qingyue said, raising the champagne in her hand.

At this time, Ke Hong hurriedly stretched out his index finger and pressed it on Dong Qingyue's hand that was about to open the champagne: "Please, don't pour the champagne on me, how about we clink glasses in a calmer way?" ”

Dong Qingyue suddenly pouted dissatisfiedly: "People have been looking forward to this moment." ”

"Alright." Ke Hong touched her little brain, Dong Qingyue had no choice but to pry open the bottle cap and pour a glass of champagne with the other waiters for the chefs in the kitchen. Then they cleared their throats, and the crowd fell silent, waiting for the leader to speak.

"So, it's been a hard day." Dong Qingyue said with a smile. Raising the champagne in his hand, "Dear chefs, your excellent table today has brought unprecedented praise and a new high in turnover to the restaurant. We have a good start, and we are half the goal of three Michelin stars, and I hope you will continue to do so in the future. ”

Everyone suddenly smiled bitterly. It is not so much the motivation of the boss as it is to instruct them not to relax half of their work in the future. But everyone still raised the champagne in their hands, lifted it into the air together, and drank it all.

Immediately, the staff of the restaurant began to eat, and the waiters and chefs outside enjoyed the working meal together.

"Everyone's worked hard, hard work." Dong Qingyue said, walking through the crowd and coming to Ke Hong's side.

"What's wrong, Ah Hong? Don't eat something? Dong Qingyue asked with a smile. And Ke Hong just sat down on the side and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I'm too tired to eat......"

"Oh......" Dong Qingyue sighed and stroked Ke Hong's shoulder, "It's really hard for you." ”

"That's not all, but when I was a chef, I had to eat the finished product in the kitchen all the time, so I wasn't hungry at all." Ke Hong shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

"That's just right, take advantage of this time to be more idle, and take a good rest, right? Everyone's not gone yet. Dong Qingyue said with a smile. Then he held champagne in one hand and pulled Ke Hong out in the other. After leaving the kitchen, Dong Qingyue touched Ke Hong's head a little distressed, and sighed softly: "It's hard work." It was inevitable on the first day of opening, and it will be better in the future. ”

"yes, I know." Ke Hong nodded and smiled, and today is his first day of running the entire kitchen, and everyone is familiar with a lot of things in the future, so they don't need Ke Hong to explain in detail, and they can grasp the menu better. Ke Hong will be able to take it easy.

In addition, in front of so many people who are older than himself, he commanded them to do this and that, and scolded them for not cooking well enough and that steak was overfried, so he had to make sure that he did it foolproofly and avoid being criticized.

"In fact, when it comes to tiredness, the psychological pressure is even greater." Ke Hong sighed and said, "Sue yourself must not travel on a business trip, every step must be perfect......"

"Would you like to get some sleep? I have a bed in my office. Dong Qingyue asked with a smile, "I'll make you a knee pillow, there is still more than an hour before the afternoon rush hour, which is enough for you to rest." ”

"Well, that's a good idea, but let's go talk to Wanjun and them first." Ke Hong smiled bitterly.

At this moment, the three of them and Fu Ye and others formed a table, tasting snacks, drinking tea and coffee.

"They were so eye-catching, so I simply let them sit at the same table with us." When Sister Feng saw Ke Hong coming, she immediately explained with a smile, "You don't want too many people to harass them, do you?" ”

And the snacks on the table are the "mini Mexican chicken rolls" invented by Ke Hong, several different fillings, sauces and tortillas, like Peking duck, you can make your own fillings with whatever flavor you want, different fillings with different sauces, rich in taste and full of do-it-yourself freshness, a large table of people are so happy to eat that they can't stop at all.

"I'll not be able to eat dinner later." Ke Hong said with a wry smile and sat down between Ye Wanjun and Qin Shuyu.

"No, Ke Shao, you can eat as much as you want! It's so delicious! The old turtle said inarticulately.

"Alright, old turtle, you still eat yours." Aaron said a little angrily.

"Ah Hong, you seem to be tired?" Qin Shuyu frowned slightly and asked. Dong Qingyue sighed and said, "Isn't that okay, I started preparing at ten o'clock in the morning, and I was busy until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and I didn't eat." ”

"It's so hard...... Ye Wanjun said with some distress, "Then take a good rest now." ”

"Well, I'm going to take a break when I'm here to talk to you." Ke Hong said with a smile.

"Do you want me to give you a massage?" Suman asked with concern.

In fact, Ke Hong was already much better at this time, and when Ye Wanjun and the four of them surrounded him, he felt that the fatigue of the day disappeared in an instant. Therefore, he shook his head and said with a smile: "I feel much better when I talk to you, in fact, I am not very tired physically, the key is that my spirit has been too tight, because I can't get out of the ...... at all."

"Xiao Ke, don't be too yourself," Fu Ye wiped his mouth and said.

"Don't forget your original intention, didn't you say that you enjoy cooking for your friends and family? Just keep it that way. At this time, Mr. Stephen suddenly appeared behind him, patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Of course, you also did well today, but if you keep it this way for a long time, you will collapse before you get three Michelin stars." ”

"Yes, I'll remember." Ke Hong grinned, and Mr. Stephen smiled and joined the table: "Anyway, I want to say that Chef Ke did a very good job today. Even in an existing three-star Michelin restaurant, your cuisine is absolutely top-notch. However, in some respects, restaurants are still slightly lacking. ”

As he spoke, Mr. Stephen looked around: "It is mainly reflected in the environment and services, which need to be improved. Other than that......" Mr. Stephen laughed and applauded, "I want to say, you guys did a really good job. ”

After chatting with them briefly, Ke Hong got up and came to her office with Dong Qingyue.

"Alright, let's get some rest." Dong Qingyue said as she pulled the sheets on the bed in her office neatly, then sat at the head of the bed, patted her leg and said with a smile: "Come on, my sister will make you a knee pillow." ”

"Hmph, you know I'm not going to be polite." Ke Hong squinted at Dong Qingyue and smiled, then lay down on the bed, and then pillowed on Dong Qingyue's beautiful legs, under the smooth flesh-colored stockings, a soft and warm touch came from his face.

Dong Qingyue stroked Ke Hong's head, and suddenly asked with some hesitation: "That...... Ah Hong. ”

"Huh?" Ke Hong closed his eyes and answered, and Dong Qingyue continued to ask, "Why don't you ...... Let's lower our requirements a little bit, you'll be tired like this in just one day. In the future, this kind of life will go on forever, and sooner or later you will break down if you continue like this, and ...... You're so tired every day, and I feel very distressed to look at it......"

Ke Hong opened his eyes, Dong Qingyue was looking down at him, and her bangs drooped down, covering half of her cheeks.

"Silly girl." Ke Hong reached out to help Dong Qingyue brush away her bangs and stroked the side of her face, "We'll find a solution, don't worry, okay?" ”

Dong Qingyue smiled reluctantly, nodded slightly, and said softly, "Okay, you can go to sleep quickly." ”

Ke Hong nodded, the fragrance on Dong Qingyue's body came to his nose, and Ke Hong soon fell asleep. But before he could sleep for long, he was gently shaken awake, and a gentle call sounded in his ears: "Ah Hong......"

Ke Hong snorted, opened his eyes and looked, and found that the person who made his knee pillow had become Qin Shuyu at some point.

"Shu Yu? When are you ......?" Ke Hong asked in surprise.

"Sister Xiaoyue, because she still has a job, I just happened to come over to see you at that time, so I ......" Qin Shuyu laughed softly, with a faint flush on his face, obviously it was still a little embarrassing to use Ke Hong as a knee pillow like this.

And Ke Hong couldn't help but sigh, Shu Yu's legs were really soft and amazing, and looking up from this angle, Shu Yu's twin peaks looked even more proud, Ke Hong couldn't see Qin Shuyu's pretty face without leaning his head out.

Seeing Ke Hong staring at her, Qin Shuyu became more and more embarrassed, she stroked her bangs and said, "That, Sister Xiaoyue asked me to call you at half past four, now the time is up, you ...... Want to get up? ”

"I suddenly don't want to get up now." Ke Hong adjusted a comfortable posture on Qin Shuyu's lap and teased.

"That, that......" Qin Shuyu's gaze wandered around, not daring to look at Ke Hong, and then whispered: "Then you can lie down for a while......" (To be continued.) )
