After cutting the real cake, Su Man was not in a hurry to open the gift, and everyone's attention was still focused on Ke Hong's magic cake just now. It's not surprising to use lights to form the shape of a cake, but it's puzzling to be able to extinguish two of the lights with Suman's action of blowing out the candles.

"A magician doesn't tell anyone about his secrets." Ke Hong still sent everyone away with such a sentence.

"Hey, you're too stingy, what's wrong?" Xiao Ke said dissatisfiedly.

Ke Hong frowned and asked rhetorically: "If I said it, and you found out that the magic was just so ordinary and unremarkable, then can you continue to be surprised by the magic cake just now?" ”

Actually, the way to accomplish this magic trick is very simple. The office building opposite Su Man's house is on vacation because of the 11th long holiday, and even if someone works overtime, they will not work overtime until 8 o'clock in the evening during the 11th long holiday.

So at this time, the office building must be pitch black, Ke Hong went to do something on the circuit in advance, explained the situation to the security guard in the building, and then stuffed two boxes of cigarettes to give some benefits, and when he was about to start showing the magic cake, he made a call to the security guard over there.

The means are very simple, magic is actually such a thing, and it becomes prosaic to tell the mystery.

Everyone was silent for a while, and Ke Hong continued: "Look, isn't this enough? Magic is a means of surprise and surprise, and everyone knows it's fake, but as long as the impact it brings is good, isn't it? Why bother to get to the bottom of it? ”

"Okay." Xiao Ke pursed his lips and said, everyone is doing it.

So, Su Man began to open the gifts, and the first one she picked up was Ke Hong's gift. Everyone is also looking forward to what kind of surprise is contained in this small gift box after that magic cake.

When the wrapper is unwrapped, inside is a small music box, decorated with a merry-go-round. The workmanship is not particularly exquisite, and it looks like a gift that can be bought for dozens of dollars outside.

"You're too insincere, aren't you?" Xiao Ke suddenly frowned and asked, "Isn't this thing just buyable?" ”

"Don't say that," Jiang Chao said to Ke Hong. "Maybe people are preparing for the magic trick and have spent too long so they don't have time to pick gifts? It's excusable. ”

Su Man smiled and shook his head: "No, the gift has nothing to do with the price, I like it very much." ”

"You should like it." Ke Hong smiled and took the music box and wound it. "There is only one such music box in the world, I found someone to order it separately, and I went to more than 2,000 people, but it is not an ordinary music box."

"Why is it so expensive!?" Xiao Ke asked in surprise, "Just this kind of workmanship, it actually costs more than two thousand?" It's too dark! ”

"As for the average music box, I will only choose those more popular and well-known tunes, such as Castle in the Sky and Canon. If you want to pick a special piece individually, you'll have to order it yourself. Ke Hong said, and put the wind-up music box on the table. The small merry-go-round slowly turned.

Then there is a cheerful tune, the tone of the tune is very melodious, with a little sadness, accompanied by a little cheerfulness, and a little more bland happiness, it is a very beautiful tune, reminiscent of the bits and pieces of life, just like a small story that happened around them, just like their experience in the past few months.

"It's called 'A-little-story,' and it was originally a piano piece, but I had the artisan make it into a music box. But the original song is better. After the song ended, Ke Hong put the music box in Su Man's hand and said with a smile: "Happy birthday, Xiao Man." ”

"Go kiss him. After kissing, it will become ......," Xiao Ke whispered to the side.

"Thank you." Su Man said movingly, looking at the music box in her hand seriously, with a happy smile on her face, as if she was thinking about something, and then she came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Come on." Let's eat cake. ”

Except for the surprise that Ke Hong prepared at the beginning, the rest of the birthday party seemed unremarkable, whether it was the content of the birthday party or other people's gifts. After eating, everyone did not stay long, and took their leave one after another.

Ke Hong stayed behind to clean up the mess with Su Man, handling leftovers and washing dishes.

"These guys, they eat quite cleanly, I have done so much, these people have eaten them all." Ke Hong raised his eyebrows and complained, "But that's fine, you won't have to eat leftovers later." ”

"That's okay, Ah Hong's craftsmanship is so good, and the rest is delicious." Su Man pursed his lips and smiled, "Look at the fat tiger." ”

They were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and the fat tiger was around them and wanted to rub some more food, Su Man stuck out his tongue and said: "I won't give you food, I'm all fat like this, it's already more than ten pounds, and I'm going to get sick if I'm fat." ”

Ke Hong has been busy all day today, and he is also a little tired at this time, and he is sleepy while washing the dishes, so he just responds.

However, Su Man didn't realize it, but continued: "Now that Li Haimo is no longer in the gym, and Lu Yao has also jumped to other gyms, it feels like it has changed a lot." ”

"Lu Yao has changed jobs?" Ke Hong raised his eyebrows and said, thinking about it like this, he realized that he hadn't seen Lu Yao's guy in the gym for a long time, although he had pretended not to see it even if he had seen it before. Su Man nodded and said, "Yes, his performance has not been able to get up, and he has offended many people in the gym, so he really can't get along." ”

"It's ......your own fault," Ke Hong muttered in his heart, but didn't say it.

After cleaning up, Su Man went downstairs to send Ke Hong to the subway station, because Su Man's house was not far from the subway station, so Ke Hong also followed her. On the way, Su Man smiled and said, "Ah Hong, thank you today." It was the best birthday I've ever had in my life, and I'm so happy that no one has ever prepared such a surprise for me. ”

"It's a bit too early to say that, and there will be even better birthdays in the future." Ke Hong replied with a smile.

Su Man nodded and smiled sweetly: "On Ah Hong's birthday, I will also do my best to give Ah Hong the best birthday." ”

"Well, I'll look forward to it." At this time, Ke Hong had already come to the subway station, nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's send it here, be careful on the way back." ”

But Su Man still watched him get on the subway, Ke Hong looked at Su Man through the door of the subway, this Nizi was holding the fat cat at this time, standing quietly in place. The faint smile on his face looked particularly satisfied and happy.

Suddenly, Ke Hong had an illusion, as if it was a young couple in a long-distance relationship who had parted, and suddenly felt a faint sense of loss. Before Su Man was about to disappear from view, Ke Hong waved at her.

"It's a strange feeling, it's only twenty ......minutes in the past," Ke Hong couldn't help but muttered to himself when he was on the subway, "Could it be imperceptibly." Have I been tasked by that girl? ”

However, Ke Hong didn't have time to think about these things, October 3rd, Mr. Andrew's friend Stephen? Jin would take a plane to Nanhua City to meet him, so Ke Hong ran to the airport early in the morning to pick him up.

Ke Hong originally thought that the other party would come on a certain flight, but when he went to the location notified by the other party to wait for the pick-up, he found that it was a VIP special tarmac, and he could go directly to the airport to wait. And in the end, what stopped in front of him was a luxurious private jet. It can seat about a dozen people, and there are dedicated flight attendants. The price is more than 100 million, to say the least.

"I'll go ......" Looking at the private jet in front of him, Ke Hong was dumbfounded, when had he seen this formation.

Then, a spirited uncle, accompanied by two bodyguards, got off the private plane.

Not to mention the uncle, just the two bodyguards, a set of expensive black suits, with sunglasses, are as strong as a bear. He is more than two meters tall, and his arms are thicker than Ke Hong's thighs. This figure may be inferior even to professional wrestlers in front of the two of them. The two of them looked around vigilantly.

And that uncle Stephen? Gold. He was on a wooden cane, but he had no problems with his legs and feet, and his hair was gray, and he looked like he was in his fifties. His face was thin and chiseled, with some pointy monkey cheeks, but he had a particularly kind smile on his face. Although this uncle behaves ordinarily. Dressed ordinarily, but there is an indescribable luxury temperament on his body.

"Then, you must be the chef Ke that Andrew said." Stephen spoke in English and held out his hand to Ke Hong.

"Ah, nice to meet you." Ke Hong hurriedly shook Stephen's hand, "Chef can't talk about it, he just likes to cook something delicious for his friends and family." ”

"That's a very good intention." Stephen smiled, then raised his hand to Ke Hong and said, "Come, Chef Ke, let's talk while we walk, there is already a car waiting for us outside." ”

Immediately, the two walked out from the VIP passage together, and on the way, Stephen smiled: "I heard Andrew talk about your troubles, and before I help you solve your troubles, I want to taste your craftsmanship to confirm whether what Andrew said is true." I heard him say that last time you made him a lamb chop, Andrew was very full of praise for him. ”

"Ah, that's actually just a whimsical work, I just tried it, but I didn't expect it to work surprisingly well." Ke Hong said modestly, Stephen smiled and nodded: "Well, whimsical creativity, not sticking to rules and not sticking to rules, sometimes this happens to be something that many experienced chefs lack, and they can't create their own characteristics." ”

With that, the two had already arrived at the door, and at this moment, a Rolls-Royce was waiting outside.

One of the two bodyguards came to the driver's seat, and the other helped Stephen and Ke Hong open the back door, bowed down and said, "Please, Mr. Stephen, Mr. Ke." ”

"Ah, thank you." Ke Hong hurriedly said, the bodyguard suddenly frowned, and then pushed the sunglasses coolly.

In the car, Stephen continued: "So, let's head to the restaurant where you work now, and let me see if you're really the kind of 'chef who qualifies as the soul of a restaurant' as Andrew said." ”

"Ah, okay." Ke Hong said tremblingly, the other party was so approachable, which made him even more nervous.

"Don't be nervous," at this time, the Chinese bodyguard who was driving couldn't help but laugh, "Mr. Stephen is different from any rich man you've ever met, I can assure you of that." ”

The white bodyguard who opened the door for them in the passenger seat also pushed his sunglasses and said, "That's right." ”

Ke Hong quickly understood what this bodyguard meant, Mr. Stephen was actually far from being as strict as he looked like, although he always smiled kindly, but he seemed to be full of interest in Yiqiē, especially food. Along the way, he constantly commented on the scenery outside the window, and most of them expressed strong interest in the food on the street.

Although most of the people outside are just lamenting the luxury car and who is sitting in the luxury car.

"I like Huaxia very much, mainly because I like the food culture of China." Stephen smiled and said, "If it weren't for your handiwork, I would have stopped to taste all the food I saw along the way." ”

Ke Hong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, a person like Uncle Stephen is indeed very rare, although the other party has such a noble identity, but he is full of respect for his identity as a chef and food. This made him instantly have a good impression of this uncle.

"Ah, I'll be sure to entertain you." Ke Hong said energetically.

When Mr. Stephen's Rolls-Royce drove to the door of the bamboo forest minor, the people around were dumbfounded, secretly wondering what kind of distinguished guests had come to this place, and even Yang Lan personally came out of the store to greet them and assist them in parking the car.

However, when he found that one of the last people to get out of the car was Ke Hong, Yang Lan's face suddenly collapsed.

"Is this the shop where Chef Ke works? Hmm......" When Mr. Stephen got out of the car and looked at the store with his chin in his hands, Yang Lan's face changed. Even if he is a fool, he can see from Mr. Stephen's demeanor and temperament that this is definitely not an ordinary person, not to mention that Yang Lan's ability to observe words and emotions is no worse than Ke Hong.

So, Yang Lan immediately came up to greet him, and asked with a smile in English, "Is there anything I can help you with?" ”

Mr. Stephen smiled, and he patted Ke Hong on the back: "I can help this young man solve his problem, and this young man may be able to solve my problem." However, of course, I came here to eat. ”

Yang Lan hurriedly nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, yes, I will take you to the VIP seat immediately, please go this way." ”

The two bodyguards got out of the car and stood majestically on either side, letting Mr. Stephen and Co Hong pass between them, and then followed. (To be continued.) )
