Chapter 393: Christmas Dinner

Dong Qingyue's apartment is so big, naturally there are guest rooms, so Ke Hong doesn't need to sleep on the sofa. It was already past three o'clock in the morning, and Ke Hong was already so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he was about to fall asleep just after touching the pillow, until Dong Qingyue's call sounded from outside the door, making him wake up again.

"Ah Hong, have you slept?" Dong Qingyue asked in a whisper outside the door.

"Sleep, it's so late...... Ke Hong muttered, "What's the matter, do you want to attack at night?" ”

"I hate it, what kind of night attack, are you okay to talk to others?" Dong Qingyue asked in a somewhat pleading tone.

Ke Hong was stunned and said, "Yueyue, aren't you still afraid ......of the guy you saw before?"

Ke Hong didn't say the word corpse, for fear of evoking Dong Qingyue's memories again. Dong Qingyue said with some grievances: "Because it's the first time I've seen a corpse because the head of the family is so old, that person's expression is so hideous......

"Silly girl." Ke Hong sat up from the bed and teased with a smile: "Then do you want to sleep together?" ”

"Don't ......," Dong Qingyue muttered, "If you let the family know, you won't be able to get married." ”

"Isn't that nice? Huang Yi won't pester you. Ke Hong said sleepily.

Outside was silent, Ke Hong sighed, then sat up from the bed, put on his coat, and came to Dong Qingyue's room, this little girl was shrunk into a ball with her head covered in the quilt, as if she was very scared. Ke Hong sat down next to her bed, and then patted Dong Qingyue's **** through the quilt.

"What are you doing! Rogue! Dong Qingyue got out of the quilt angrily.

"I'm going to bury you under the covers." Ke Hong teased with a smile and sat down beside Dong Qingyue's bed.

Dong Qingyue was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated, hugged her quilt tightly and said, "No, no, no!" We haven't dated yet! How can you sleep in a bed!? Besides, even if you are dating, you can't do this kind of thing on the first day of dating! ”

"Uh-huh?" Ke Hong smiled evilly and leaned towards Dong Qingyue, Dong Qingyue was completely frightened, as if she didn't know how to resist, while Ke Hong put her arm around Dong Qingyue's shoulders and hugged her into his arms along with the quilt.

"Alright, silly girl, go to sleep." Ke Hong touched Dong Qingyue's little brain and said with a smile, "It's so late, if you don't sleep well, how can you get up tomorrow morning?" If you have dark circles, your appearance will decrease. ”

"Villain, scare people......" Dong Qingyue muttered unhappily.

"Disappointed? Or do you want me to get under the covers? Ke Hong teased with a smile.

"You drill, I believe Ah Hong." Dong Qingyue said softly, and Ke Hong sighed: "Forget it, I don't believe in myself, after all, I am a man, if I drill, I will definitely choose to be a beast rather than a beast." ”

"Really?" Dong Qingyue lifted her head from Ke Hong's shoulders, looked at him in the dark, her beautiful eyes flashed with stars, and asked suspiciously, "Ah Hong really knows how to be a beast?" ”

"Of course, after all, it's a man, and sleeping in a bed with such a beautiful figure and such a good girl doesn't do anything, isn't that a brain problem?" Ke Hong said very strictly.

"Well, go back to sleep, I'm not ready...... Not mentally prepared. Dong Qingyue muttered, "But I don't want you to be frozen here, go back to sleep, I'll fall asleep by myself in a while." ”

"It's okay, I'll go back when you fall asleep." Ke Hong said softly, "You're worried that I'm running out so late, and it's not a man to let a girl be scared alone here." Alright, go to sleep, good ......."

As he spoke, Ke Hong stroked Dong Qingyue's brain and hummed a tune.

"What are you doing, people are not children, and they still hum songs......" Dong Qingyue muttered angrily.

"Shhhh Ke Hong laughed softly, gently pressed Dong Qingyue's small mouth, and then continued to caress the back of Dong Qingyue's head, humming a song. Dong Qingyue still muttered: "And it's still such an old song......"

Ke Hong hummed "Kiss My Baby", the tune of this song is cheerful and relaxed, as long as you hum a little slowly, it is easy to soothe people's mood. Dong Qingyue breathed a long sigh of relief, adjusted her posture in Ke Hong's arms, and then let out a comfortable murmur, and soon collapsed. From Ke Hong coaxing her to falling asleep, it only took three minutes in total.

"Silly girl, I'm obviously trapped like this." Ke Hong couldn't help but laugh, gently put Dong Qingyue on the bed, tucked the quilt for her, brushed away the broken hair on Dong Qingyue's forehead, and then gently scraped her little nose, then rubbed his hands while inhaling the cool air, and ran back to the guest room to sleep. He was also already very sleepy, almost falling asleep as soon as he lay down.

The next morning, Dong Qingyue let out a pleasant murmur and woke up from the bed, her first reaction was to find her mobile phone to see what time it was, because she was not woken up by the familiar alarm clock, but by the smell of food.

But she didn't find it after touching it for a long time, and suddenly felt a little bad, so she shouted on the bed: "Ah Hong! ”

"What's the matter, little princess." Ke Hong came out of the kitchen with a smile, squatted down beside Dong Qingyue's bed, looked at Dong Qingyue's cute little face and smiled: "Do you have any instructions?" ”

"You're like that again, you took my phone away and turned it off again, didn't you?" Dong Qingyue asked in annoyance.

"yes, it's rare for you to sleep so soundly." Ke Hong said softly, helping Dong Qingyue smooth out her curled hair. Dong Qingyue couldn't refute it, because even now she was still lying on the bed, and she didn't have the strength to sit up.

It's like this in winter, and it's not easy to crawl out of a warm bed.

"Huh...... Dong Qingyue let out a wail, and then asked, "What time is it?" ”

"At half past ten, I was about to wake you up for breakfast." Ke Hong said with a smile.

"I'm glad you're like this, but I'm also distressed." Dong Qingyue said helplessly, "You have to know that I am the owner of the restaurant, what is it to be late like this." Besides, it's not good to always be troublesome, people have boyfriends themselves, and it's not okay to take up other people's free time all the time? ”

"It's okay, I found a valid reason for you today." Ke Hong pinched Dong Qingyue's little nose and said, "I said that you want to study the Christmas special meal with me, and it is true, although it is a bit hearty for breakfast, but considering that it is almost noon, I have prepared a Christmas special meal, just waiting for you to taste it." ”

Dong Qingyue pursed her lips and smiled happily: "Since that's the case...... Then I want to sleep a little longer. ”

"Okay, can you go to bed after eating? Shall I bring it to you? Ke Hong asked with a smile, Dong Qingyue lowered her head with a smile, buried half of her face in the quilt, and muttered, "But I haven't washed my face and brushed my teeth yet......

"I'll get you a toothbrush and a towel, you wait." Ke Hong touched Dong Qingyue's brain and smiled.

Dong Qingyue nodded, looked at Ke Hong's back as he left, and muttered in a low voice: "I knew that I was ready last night, if there is such a morning waiting, it seems that it is not bad to give it for the first time......"

After Ke Hong came back with breakfast, a toothbrush and a towel, he first watched Dong Qingyue wash his face and brush his teeth.

"Why don't you just rest today? I've got a reason for it anyway. Ke Hong looked at Dong Qingyue wiping her face with a towel and asked, "Look at you, it's rare to have a few days off all year round." ”

"Then, Ah Hong, you will accompany me." Dong Qingyue handed the towel to Ke Hong and asked.

"Okay, let's study the Christmas specials, shall we?" Ke Hong smiled and touched Dong Qingyue's brain.

"Well, okay then." Dong Qingyue said happily, then sat up from the bed, "You wait for me." ”

"Hey, why did you get up again when they were brought to the bed?" Ke Hong frowned and wondered.

"I'm going to put on makeup, so people don't eat in front of you like this, like a girl." Dong Qingyue snorted, and then took a cheerful step, grabbed his clothes and ran into the bathroom.

Fortunately, Dong Qingyue made up very quickly, just tossed her hair and then applied a little powder, otherwise if she tossed it in for half an hour, these Christmas special meals prepared by Ke Hong would have to be taken back to the pot, but it would not be original at all.

"Okay, isn't it pretty?" When Dong Qingyue came out of the bathroom, she asked with a smile.

The light gray sweater and black leggings are very ordinary, but because they are all tight-fitted, the lines are already fascinating, and Dong Qingyue deliberately draped her hair over her shoulders, which is particularly feminine. Ke Hong held his chin and smiled: "Beautiful." Okay, come and eat, it won't taste like that when it's cold in a while, don't forget that this is the business of today. ”

"Got it, I'm starving." Dong Qingyue rubbed her smooth abdomen and smiled.

Ke Hong began to introduce his Christmas specials: "When it comes to Christmas specials, what foods do you think of? Turkey, apples, Christmas pudding, smoked ham, salmon and Christmas cake. Naturally, I use these elements as well. ”

Saying that, Ke Hong served the appetizer first: "This appetizer is a cocktail made with apple juice, strawberries and brandy, of course, because your ingredients are limited, if it is in a restaurant, I will add some kiwifruit, grapefruit and soda to make it more flavorful." But this basically maintains the original flavor, so let's try it? ”

"......Drink early in the morning," Dong Qingyue muttered with a small mouth, Ke Hong said with a smile: "After you get drunk, you do bad things, do you want to gamble on your reputation as a restaurant owner?" ”

Dong Qingyue's face was slightly red, she picked up her wine glass and said, "Then you have to be gentle, don't let people wake up in pain." ”

"Well, I'll do enough foreplay." Ke Hong smiled, raised his hand and motioned for Dong Qingyue to drink.

Dong Qingyue took a sip, and then suddenly narrowed her eyes: "Hmm...... It's so strong! The alcohol concentration is too high! ”

"Because it's brandy." Ke Hong smiled and said, "What about the taste? ”

"The taste is very good......," Dong Qingyue took another sip and said, "Although it has the aroma and taste of alcohol, there is no bitterness after alcohol at all, but you can taste the sweet and sour apple and the aroma of strawberries, which is really appetizing." ”

"Right?" Ke Hong asked with a smile, and then served the second course, "Originally, it should be a thick soup in order, but the Christmas dinner is enjoyed by the family, and I don't think there is a need to be rigid about understanding and these procedures, so ...... After the appetizer, let's feast unbridledly. ”

The second course is pan-fried salmon, which is simply fried to ensure that the salmon is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and then served with a special Christmas sauce made from gooseberries mixed with other spices. The third dish is smoked ham, because the smoked ham itself has a strong flavor, it is easy to overshadow other ingredients, so Ke Hong simply slices the smoked ham.

However, of course, his cuisine is not so simple, in order to cover up the unpleasantly smoky taste of the smoked ham, Ke Hong uses a sauce made of honey and cherries to spread on the surface of the smoked ham, which can not only hide the smoky taste, but also match the saltiness of the ham itself to create a richer flavor layer.

The fourth course, of course, is the must-have turkey for Christmas. And the secret of a roast turkey lies entirely in its filling.

Ke Hong first marinated the turkey with seasonings, then stuffed mushrooms, green peppers, bell peppers, onions, thyme and other ingredients into the turkey belly, and then brushed with a special sauce, and roasted in the way of Peking duck until it was cooked, so that the aroma of the ingredients and sauce completely penetrated into the chicken, and Dong Qingyue was awakened by the aroma of roast turkey.

When it comes to turkey meat, it is not easy for the Chinese to accept it, because the turkey itself is a large bird, the meat fiber is thicker than that of chicken, and it will be very dry if it is not easy to handle, and because of the large size, it is difficult to attract the taste.

But Ke Hong's cooking method, first marinated into the flavor, then brushed with sauce on the outside, and a large amount of filling inside, and finally rotated and roasted in the way of Peking duck, not only the sauce is integrated into the chicken, but the internal vegetable aroma is completely penetrated into the chicken, how to eat it is so fragrant and tender, it is simply unstoppable.

And the Christmas special, naturally, you can't escape the two desserts of Christmas cake and Christmas pudding. The front is basically meat, and in order to balance, Ke Hong paired it with apple salad and mashed potatoes to balance, and paired it with warm red wine to make a drink, which is perfect.

"That's great...... Dong Qingyue couldn't help but sigh, "I think this recipe will definitely sell well." ”

"But it's not perfect, it needs to be improved a little bit, I just want to discuss it with you." Ke Hong hugged his arms at this time and said sternly, "This package is more suitable for families of more than four people in terms of weight, but it may be a bit too much for those families of two people, so I plan to adjust it and withdraw from a few double packages, after all, it shouldn't be a whole family here in Huaxia who comes for Christmas."
