Chapter 79 -39 Goddess Hep Benn_2
Long Kongkong couldn’t help but feel disappointed. As he passed beside Hep Benn, he murmured, “Perhaps you could ask your father for me to join you in the front?”
Hep Benn smiled and said, “We don’t need that many people up front. You can go help my father in the back.”
Long Kongkong had no choice but to head to the back kitchen in order to play the long game.
The kitchen in the back wasn’t big, about six or seven square meters. Father Hep was taking out a large rack of ribs from a low-temperature storage cabinet filled with ice cubes.
“Here at our place, business is brisk during the weekends, so we prepare much more. We usually sell at least fifty or sixty meals of rice or noodles during the weekends’ lunch and supper. Have you learned cooking before?”
Long Kongkong shook his head blankly.
Father Hep glanced at him, frowned slightly but quickly recovered, what can you expect from cheap labor?
“Well, it’s not a bad idea to start learning from scratch. It can save you some detours. Bring that basin over there and fill it halfway with water.” While instructing Long Kongkong, Father Hep started to take out a cleaver to chop the ribs.
Filling the water basin was surely something Long Kongkong could handle. Father Hep, while chopping the ribs, said, “Don’t underestimate our little shop. We only use pure ribs, and each piece is chopped into small pieces about five centimeters long, making it easy to boil and tasty.”
As he spoke, his ‘bang bang bang’ chopping of the ribs made it clear he was an experienced hand.
“Boss, I reckon I can give this a try.” Long Kongkong said jovially.
“Oh? Don’t think this is easy. Ribs are hard. You have to split them in one stroke to avoid waste. The most delicious part is the meat clinging to the bones, this is why we make ribs here.”
“May I give it a try?” Long Kongkong asked with a smile.
“Okay, you can have a go.” And with that, Father Hep handed the cleaver to Long Kongkong.
Long Kongkong glanced at the rib pieces chopped by Father Hep, flicked his wrist, and the cleaver began to fall.
“You won’t make it like that. You have to raise it high and exert force in order to cut it off in one stroke…” Father Hep was midway through his words when he was astonished to see that although Long Kongkong’s movements were small, the ribs were evenly cut into pieces, and the chopping on the board did not produce much noise.
Moreover, because of the small range of his movements, Long Kongkong’s speed in chopping the ribs was even faster than his. In no time, evenly chopped rib pieces were cut out.
“Kongkong! Are you sure you’ve never learned cooking before?” Father Hep asked in astonishment.
Laughing heartily, Long Kongkong replied: “I studied at Temple Academy in my hometown a few years ago becoming a knight, and I have practiced sword before. This knife is rather handy to use.” His training and status as a near 4th Rank Knight, whose sword weighed much more than this cleaver made this task easy for him. For the first time, Long Kongkong believed that training as a knight did have practical uses.
“Good, good. You carry on.” Father Hep, feeling like he had found a treasure, threw the chopped pieces into the basin filled with water.
Meanwhile, Long Dangdang had arrived by carriage at a mansion in the city center.
It was a grand and spacious mansion. The Long family’s mansion in Soaring Dragon City was already quite large, but the mansion in front of him was at least ten times bigger. And keep in mind, this is in the high-priced Holy City.
There were guards at the entrance. Long Dangdang handed over the token given by his mother, and the guard immediately went in to report.
After a short while, a handsome middle-aged man who bore a strong resemblance to his mother came out, “Where are they? Where is my nephew?” As soon as he came out, he began calling out.

Upon seeing Long Dangdang, he immediately rushed over, excitedly examining Long Dangdang from head to toe, “You do look very similar! Huh, why are you alone? In your mother’s letter, she said you two are twin brothers!”
Long Dangdang replied, “Hello, I am Long Dangdang. My brother has been detained by his teacher for cultivation at the Academy, so he couldn’t come.”
“Oh, oh, oh, I see, please come in with me. The whole family has been waiting for you two. Your mother is a case, all these years and she didn’t think to bring you both home for a visit.” As he said this, he warmly led Long Dangdang into the mansion.
The Ling family’s mansion.
Upon entering the gate, there’s a huge artificial mountain. In front of the mountain, there’s a man-made waterfall gushing down, emitting the sound of water. On the side is a large front yard. The yard is simply furnished, with carved beams and painted rafters, exuding magnificence and depth.
“Dangdang! I am your fifth uncle, Ling Shuang. Your mom and I are twins. Did she ever mention me? I’m the older one, and your mom ranks sixth in the family.” Her twin brother?
“Mom has said that all my uncles are very handsome. Oh, and here’s a letter specifically for you.” Long Dangdang cheerfully pulled out a letter and handed it to Ling Shuang.
In fact, Ling Xue rarely talks about her maternal family at home, seemingly out of concern for upsetting Long Leilei.
Ling Shuang was excited to open the letter, but his expression quickly froze. The letter only contained one sentence, “Little Frost! Take good care of my two sons, or you will be in trouble.”
That’s it…
This seemed to fit Ling Xue’s character perfectly. In their generation, Ling Xue was the least talented but also the most highly favoured. The Ling family has a tradition: the less skilled is often the most adored. As the patriarch put it, “If God doesn’t love you, I will.”
The Long family, too, to some degree, have been influenced by this tradition, so Long Kongkong was coddled by his parents despite his lack of talent. This was a surprise for Long Dangdang.
“Your mom is truly something. After all these years, her temperament hasn’t changed at all. Your grandparents are home. Your eldest, second, and third uncles aren’t here, they’re all on duty. Your fourth uncle, your little aunt and I are home. I’ve already sent someone to notify them, they should be here soon.”
Ling Shuang led Long Dangdang into a luxurious hall. Soon, an excited voice came, “Where is he? Where is he? Where is my nephew?”
The next moment, before Long Dangdang’s eyes reportedly sparkled, a gorgeous woman had already appeared before them.
This woman likewise resembled Ling Xue quite a bit, yet she seemed more lively and appeared younger, probably in her twenties. Upon seeing Long Dangdang, she immediately ran over excitedly, “Only one came?”
Long Dangdang thought to himself, “Are you all so obsessed with twins?” Without asking, he had already guessed who this must be, “Hello, little aunt, I am Long Dangdang.”
There were seven siblings in Ling Xue’s generation in the Ling family. Their names were easy to remember, respectively Wind, Fire, Thunder, Lightning, Frost, Snow, and Ice. The first four were boys until Ling Frost and Ling Snow, the twins, were the first pair of girls, which is why Ling Snow was so doted upon. Ling Ice was the last and youngest child, ten years younger than Ling Snow.
“Not bad at all, you’ve grown into a fine young man. You definitely look like you’re from our family. Later, your little aunt will send you a red envelope.”,
“Thank you, little aunt.” Long Dangdang’s voice got a lot sweeter when calling her ‘little aunt’.
“By the way, from what your mother told me, both of you were admitted to the Spirit Furnace Academy, right? Have you reported yet? When you do report, your little aunt will give you a surprise,”
“Ah? We have already reported! What surprise, little aunt?” Long Dangdang asked curiously.
“Already reported? That’s impossible! You are a mage, aren’t you? But you’re not in Mages Class One!” Ling Ice expressed her confusion.
