Chapter 603 Twenty Kilograms
Compared with old hens, pheasant meat is firm but not dry or greasy, and has a richer taste.
In addition, Kong Cheng’s cooking skills are really good, and the chicken soup he cooks is fresh, fragrant and delicious.
Even someone like Gu Chenxi, who doesn't really like chicken (the chicken in the chicken soup), could eat half a leg of meat and drink two large bowls of soup.
For Kong Liu and Gu Chenxi, one chicken each is obviously too much.
After Kong Liu finished eating the half of the chicken that Gu Chenxi left, he couldn't eat any more rice.
There was one chicken left untouched. Kong Cheng and Liu Mengya took half of it, and the other half was given to the cook as a snack.
A large pot of chicken soup was also stewed. After eating half a chicken, Gong Yoo gulped down three large bowls of it and was so full that he could not eat any of the braised pork, dry pot cauliflower and other dishes on the table.
Seeing that Kong Liu was eating so fast, Kong Cheng said with some confidence: "Your father's cooking skills are good, right?"
"Yeah, it's getting better and better." Gong Liu wiped his mouth and said, "This chicken soup tastes the same as the old hen soup instant noodles, it's amazing!"
"..."
Listening to his son's words, Kong Cheng was so upset that he didn't know for a moment whether his son was praising him or scolding him.
Seeing his father's expression was not right, Gong Yoo immediately explained: "Dad, what I mean is that you are a good cook. Home-cooked dishes can be made more delicious than technological seasonings!"
Kong Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Just think of it as you praising me."
When Gu Chenxi had almost finished eating, Liu Mengya started talking.
"Xiao Xi, how many kilograms of gold jewelry do you want for the engagement?"
"Ah?" Gu Chenxi, who was eating, was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "This... I don't know about this either. I've never been married."
Gu Chenxi said this and put down his chopsticks.
"Auntie, why don't you ask my parents when the time comes?"
"It's okay. I just want to chat with you today." Liu Mengya waved her hand, signaling Gu Chenxi not to be nervous. "You eat your food. Auntie is just asking casually."
Gu Chenxi recently watched some engagement party videos online and learned that when getting engaged, the man has to give the woman gold jewelry. The "three golds" refer to gold earrings, a gold necklace, and a gold ring. Generally, three to five pieces of gold jewelry are given for an engagement, and some wealthy people even give ten pieces of gold jewelry.
She was now wondering if Liu Mengya was testing her with these words - if not, why didn't she discuss it directly with her parents?
Therefore, she felt that she had to think carefully before answering, so as not to give her future mother-in-law a bad impression of her.
But in fact, Gu Chenxi's worries were completely unnecessary. The "several kilograms" Liu Mengya mentioned did not refer to a few pieces of gold jewelry, but how many kilograms of gold jewelry she wanted.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Chenxi replied, "Three golds and five golds are actually not important. For an engagement, it's better to keep it simple. My parents taught me not to be extravagant since I was a child."
"That won't work!" Liu Mengya shook her head and said, "Weddings can be simple, but engagements can't be simple. How can three or five kilograms be enough? When Kong Liu's father married me, he gave me ten kilograms!"
"Ah, ten gold coins, this, this is too much, isn't it, Auntie?"
"Not much, not much." Liu Mengya waved her hand and said, "You must also have ten kilograms, two pure gold engagement certificates, four pairs of pure gold bracelets, nine pure gold pig cards, and a pair of pure gold rings..."
"Wait, wait a minute, Auntie!"
Gu Chenxi suddenly interrupted Liu Mengya and asked, "Isn't it ten pieces? Why..."
"Who said ten pieces of gold?" Liu Mengya was also stunned. "I was asking you how many kilograms you wanted to know, the kilogram in weight."
"what?"
Gu Chenxi was so shocked when he heard what Liu Mengya said that his jaw almost dropped to the table.
Although she had been brought up in wealth and had seen many luxurious wedding scenes, this was the first time she heard that the three golds for engagement were calculated by kilogram!
"Oh, after all this time, it turns out you heard it wrong."
Liu Mengya smiled and said, "I just asked you how many kilograms of gold jewelry you wanted."
"Ah, this...this..."
Gu Chenxi was completely confused and didn't know what to say. She turned her head and looked at Kong Liu, seeking his help with her eyes.
As a result, Gong Yoo directly said: "Ten kilograms is too little, twenty kilograms!"
"what!"
Gu Chenxi's eyes widened even more. If it weren't for the fact that Gong Liu's parents couldn't afford to lose face here, she would have wanted to scream, "Are you crazy? 20 kilograms? You think you're buying cabbage? That's 20 kilograms of gold! How dare you ask for it!"
PS: Today’s gold price is more than 1 yuan per gram, and 20000 kilograms is equal to catties, which is grams.
Twenty kilograms of gold is only the gold jewelry part of the engagement. The betrothal gift and other things have not been discussed yet.
"Then let's go with 20 kilograms." Liu Mengya also nodded, agreeing with her son's suggestion. She asked Gu Chenxi with concern, "Can you lift a 20-kilogram jewelry box? Do you need to arrange two people to help you lift it?"
"Ah, this..."
Gu Chenxi was completely stunned. He didn't know what to say for a moment and stammered like a little mute.
Seeing that Gu Chenxi was a little embarrassed, Liu Mengya quickly said, "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this today, let's continue eating, let's eat."
"Uh-huh."
Gu Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and ate the food in the bowl silently - she was just a little girl, had no experience in engagement, and did not dare to speak carelessly.
However, the pressure will soon be put on Gu Chenxi's parents - if Gu Tianhan knew that the Kong family was so generous, he would probably have a headache and would have to plan his daughter's dowry carefully.
In fact, Gu Tianhan has been planning his daughter's dowry recently.
The Kong family is wealthy and powerful, so when their daughter marries into the family, it must be a grand occasion. The dowry must be eleven cars, and the display must be impressive. No one can gossip about it.
However, judging from the current situation of the Kong family, unless Gu Tianhan gave the company as a dowry, his display would definitely not be bigger than that of the Kong family.
……
After the dinner, Gong Yoo's parents did not try to persuade them to stay at home - young people should live their own lives, and parents should of course give them more space.
"Whoo~"
Gu Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief after getting in the car. Even though she had been to the Kong family many times, she was still very nervous.
Gong Liu looked at Gu Chenxi's reaction and couldn't help but laugh: "Is it really that serious? You're so nervous."
"As for that!" Gu Chenxi patted the cushion and said, "You don't know how nervous I was when Auntie asked me questions!"
“Hahahaha.” Gong Liu laughed out loud. He said, “Then I’ll drive quickly.”
Looking at the taillights of Kong Liu's car, Liu Mengya asked Kong Cheng a question.
"You say, at this rate, can we have a grandchild next year?"
Kong Cheng nodded seriously and said, "It's possible... It seems that we have to hurry up with this engagement!"
