Chapter 258: Check the household account

"So, this is your home?" Ke Hong looked at the luxurious manor in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched and said with a dry smile. The manor in front of him is even more luxurious than Ye Wanjun's manor, not only with villas, swimming pools, garages, golf courses and gardens, but also with busy servants and gardeners, but also by the famous lake view of Nantong Lake in Nanhua City.

The qiē in front of him is like a scene that only appears in a TV series. Ke Hong vaguely remembered that this was the legendary 100,000-square-meter Lakeview Jiayuan community, and according to this situation, the price of this manor was worth it at least...... Ke Hong can't even be counted.

"yes." Dong Qingyue also smiled a little embarrassedly, "But it's not that exaggerated, this land was my family before it was developed, and it was still wasteland at that time, and it was not worth much, and then it ......"

Now Ke Hong understands, it is estimated that it is the demolition and reconstruction. But even so, it's still an exaggeration. Especially when Ke Hong entered from the door under the leadership of Dong Qingyue, there were actually two security guards at the door who bowed to Dong Qingyue.

"I didn't even know that your father's voice was so loud, such a big manor, even if it usually costs a lot of money to maintain and maintain, right?" Ke Hong said with a dry smile, "It's like a luxury yacht, the cost of maintaining it every year is more expensive than the price itself......"

"Hmm...... It's okay, there aren't that many people in this place. But my dad is really good-looking. Dong Qingyue smiled slightly bitterly, drove into the manor, and parked the car in the garage. Then he walked towards the villa with Ke Hong, and an elderly housekeeper at the door bowed slightly to Dong Qingyue, and said with a kind smile: "Miss, welcome back." ”

The housekeeper was a little rickety, with a pair of round-rimmed glasses, and his expression was a little kind...... Sluggish.

"Uncle Chang, this is what I mean by Ah Hong." Dong Qingyue introduced to the housekeeper.

"Oh, it's Young Master Ke." Chang Bo smiled meaningfully at Ke Hong.

"Uncle Chang!" Dong Qingyue frowned slightly, and glared at the uncle with some reproach.

"Hehe, my eldest lady often talks to us about you, even though she is two years older than you. But when talking about you, he always uses a tone of adoration. Chang Bo said, suddenly lowered his head, looked directly at Ke Hong through the lenses, and said with a smile: "But." I didn't expect it to be such a young child. ”

"Ah...... Chang Bo is good. Ke Hong was a little overwhelmed, so he had to say politely.

Immediately, Chang Bo turned sideways and let them into the room, and as soon as they entered, Ke Hong could see a spiral staircase leading to the upper floor in front of the hall. At this moment, Ke Hong could see a man in his fifties leading several people down the stairs.

This man, to be honest, is not good-looking. He is not very tall, he should be just 1.7 meters, and his figure is also very thin, wearing a gray suit that is very similar to Mr. Stephen's style, but he does not have Mr. Stephen's luxurious temperament at all. His cheeks were deeply sunken, he had obvious dark circles, and he was born with a hard-working look.

And behind this man, followed by Fu Ye and the Four Heavenly Kings under his seat.

"Dad." Dong Qingyue smiled at the man. He waved his hand and shouted.

Ke Hong looked at the man who was barely 1.7 meters tall, and then looked at Dong Qingyue, and couldn't help but sigh: Is this daughter really biological? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to be related by blood...... Thinking of this, Ke Hong secretly felt a little proud, seeing that he was so handsome, he could give birth to such a cute baby daughter as Ke Mengyao, and Xiao Yao would definitely be a big beauty when she grew up.

"Ke." Fu Ye held a glass of red wine, waved his hand to Ke Hong behind Dong Tiancheng and smiled.

"Ke Shao." Ah Long, Ah Hu, Lao Gui and Sister Feng behind Fu Ye also greeted Ke Hong one after another.

Almost everyone here today is dressed in formal attire, except for him...... And Aaron, it's just the two of them dressed casually, which makes them look a little out of place here.

And. Standing in this villa, Ke Hong felt that the cheap ingredients he was carrying in his hands should not appear in this kind of place at all. In short, Ke Hong felt all kinds of uncomfortable standing here.

"Ah Hong, this is my dad." At this time. Dong Qingyue hugged Ke Hong's arm affectionately, led him to Dong Tiancheng, and then smiled at Dong Tiancheng: "Dad, this is the chef I told you many times." I coaxed him for a long time before he was willing to come to our house, and I still borrowed Fu Ye's face, otherwise he wouldn't want to come. ”

"No...... Because I'm still in school. You also have to work part-time, get a driver's license, and so on. Ke Hong scratched the back of his head and said with a dry smile, the feeling of discomfort was beyond words. Although Dong Tiancheng does not have the special temperament of Mr. Stephen, this short man has a sense of heaviness, which is a sense of heaviness that can only be found after experiencing life and tasting the ups and downs.

"I testify to that." Ah Hu said with a smile, "Ke Shao teaches boxing in the gym, his fighting skills are quite powerful, and even Ah Long is not Ke Shao's opponent." ”

"Really? It's really a wide range of interests. Dong Tiancheng smiled with interest, "But I heard Yueyue say, what you are best at seems to be cooking, right?" Even Mr. Stephen, who has tasted all the food, is attracted by your cooking skills. ”

"Well, it's okay, I'm more enthusiastic about this." Ke Hong said modestly.

In fact, he only knew that Mr. Stephen was a very powerful person, but he didn't know what it was.

"That's not just passion, and a chef without talent can't catch Mr. Stephen's eye." Dong Tiancheng said with a slight puzzlement, "You must know that Mr. Stephen is a very famous travel writer. Since the age of twenty, he has been traveling while writing books and tasting cuisines from around the world. ”

"Just by writing a book, you can write a private jet worth tens of millions?" Ke Hong asked incredulously.

"Of course not." Dong Tiancheng couldn't help laughing, "But he did accumulate his first entrepreneurial capital by writing, and then started his entrepreneurial career." After a successful career, he continued to travel, write, and eat. ”

Speaking, Dong Tiancheng said with some admiration: "He has a very unique understanding of food, and he also has an extremely sensitive sense of taste, many famous chefs in the world are willing to listen to his opinions, and even within Michelin, he is very famous." In the book 'Michelin Man', Mr. Stephen's name is even mentioned! ”

Ke Hong secretly felt ashamed in his heart: the so-called cook's Bible, he had never read this book at all, and it wasn't even until the last time Mr. Stephen mentioned it that he didn't know that there was such a book in the world......

"Okay, no more polite words." At this time. Fu Ye turned to Ke Hong with a smile, "There are some things that are useless to listen to others, and you have to experience them yourself to know." So. Let's try Xiao Ke's craftsmanship. It's time for dinner, but I'm hungry. ”

"Ah, yes." Ke Hong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, finally there is something he can do, there is no need to be embarrassed here.

"Hmm. Good. Then, Yueyue, you can entertain your Uncle Fu, and I will take this young man to our kitchen. Dong Tiancheng nodded with a smile and bowed slightly to Fu Ye: "Fu Ye, you go and sit down first, I'll take a look at this young man's craftsmanship." ”

This actually made Ke Hong a little surprised and embarrassed, he would rather Dong Tiancheng and Dong Qingyue switch the division of labor. When Dong Qingyue is on the side, Ke Hong can cook a little easier, and Dong Tiancheng is on the side. It only makes him more and more uncomfortable. But after all, he was a guest at someone else's house, and Ke Hong could only settle for a while.

What's more, he will serve as the head chef of the bamboo forest minor in the future, so it would be good for the other party to see his cooking skills.

However, after following Dong Tiancheng into his kitchen, Ke Hong began to hate the rich a little. It's a kitchen, it's bigger than his house. Dedicated cold storage, ovens, cryogenic separators and even an underground wine cellar!

The cold storage is also divided into several areas, namely meat, cheese, fruits and vegetables, and spices.

But in fact, there are all kinds of high-quality materials here, even including high-grade Kobe beef and matsutake mushrooms and other sky-high materials, Ke Hong doesn't understand why Dong Tiancheng has to let him buy the materials himself. Don't. Is it to use these high prices to humiliate him, a cook from an ordinary family? But Ke Hong quickly denied it, he felt that Dong Tiancheng did not have the courage.

Not to mention Mr. Stephen's backing, you must know that Fu Ye is present today. Dong Tiancheng dared to use this aspect to humiliate Ke Hong? Fu Ye didn't immediately let the Four Heavenly Kings demolish his house?

"Okay, I heard Satsuki talk about you." Dong Tiancheng said, handing a bib to Ke Hong, "I specially asked you to buy materials, you should know the reason, right?" When Dong Tiancheng said this, Ke Hong felt weak for a while, but the other party did not wait for him to say the result. He continued: "Come on, let me see how you can turn decay into a magical ......"

Ke Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to get busy in the kitchen. However, Ke Hong is still a little unaccustomed to being busy in such a luxurious kitchen, there are more than a dozen kinds of kitchen knives in this place alone, specializing in cutting meat, slicing fish, removing muscles and bones, and peeling vegetables and fruits......

In the end, Ke Hong gritted his teeth, didn't bother to care so much, and began to prepare on his own. And Dong Tiancheng didn't leave, just chatted with Ke Hong on the side, and asked, "Xiao Ke, what are your parents doing?" Are they all chefs? ”

"No, my mother is a civil servant, and my father is a manager of a private company, a very ordinary well-off family." Ke Hong took out the chicken, beef, vegetables and fruits he bought from the bag, while Dong Tiancheng came to Ke Hong's side with great interest, observing the ingredients he had selected. Ke Hong continued: "However, my parents are good at cooking. ”

"Really? Did you learn how to cook from your parents? Dong Tiancheng grabbed a potato that Ke Hong bought, pinched it in his hand, and asked casually.

"No, it's with a certain ...... Relatives. Ke Hong thought about it and replied, Xiao Yao is his daughter, and she can be regarded as a relative.

"That's right." Dong Tiancheng nodded approvingly, then grabbed the basil spice Ke Hong bought, and said with interest: "Well, basil is not easy to grasp, if you use too little, it will have no effect, and if you use it too much, it will cover up the original taste of the ingredients." There's also cardamom, parsley, and thyme...... Oh!? Do you have tarragon leaves? Are you good at using spices? ”

"Ah, it's okay, I don't know if I'm good at it......" Ke Hong said absent-mindedly, at this moment his mind was focused on the food in front of him, so he didn't pay so much attention to what the other party was saying.

He vaguely remembered that Dong Tiancheng asked a series of questions, such as his life goals, how old he planned to get married, how old he wanted to have children, and what his plans for the future were.

"Married? I don't know this, but if you have someone you like, you can get married when you think you can be together. Child...... I plan to wait until after the age of twenty-eight, because I want to enjoy a few more years of love with my wife. "What are you going to ......do," Ke Hong pondered for a moment, then laughed, "It would be nice to be a travel writer and foodie like Mr. Stephen." ”

"Haven't you ever thought about breaking into your own business?" Dong Tiancheng asked curiously, "Shouldn't a man have his own dreams?" Let the whole world know your name and let your name be engraved in the torrent of history? ”

Ke Hong frowned and thought for a while, and then replied: "No, I'm probably the kind of man who has no ambitions." For me, as long as I have enough money to spend, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I can afford to buy my wife whatever she wants. I think family is more important than career. I would never release my girlfriend's pigeons for work and overtime. ”

"Is that so?" Dong Tiancheng said, frowning and groaning, then raised his eyebrows, and began to pay attention to Ke Hong. Ke Hong didn't notice when Dong Tiancheng suddenly quieted down, he just continued to be in charge of cooking.

He was so focused that he was a little forgetful, and when all kinds of dishes were basically ready, just waiting for a simple drizzle of sauce to be served, Dong Tiancheng applauded on the side, which startled Ke Hong, and the spoon in his hand fell with a "clang".

"Oh, that...... Uncle Dong, are you still there? Ke Hong patted his chest and said, Dong Tiancheng replied with a smile: "Yes, you are too focused, and I am unconsciously attracted by your cooking skills." Now I know why my stupid girl admires you so much, you do have a very special ...... when you cook Charm. ”

"Really? I didn't feel ......" Ke Hong calmed down and began to prepare for the final process.

"Yes, you look very ...... when cooking" Dong Tiancheng frowned, as if he was considering the words, "Enjoy." That's right, it seems to be very enjoyable. It's a pleasure for you, a process of creating happiness. ”

However, speaking of this, Dong Tiancheng suddenly put away his praise and said: "However, no matter what the attitude is, it still depends on the result after all, right?" Let's get a taste of your craft, shall we? (To be continued.) )
