"Of course I will take good care of her..." Liu Tao didn't catch up at all, but just called out, "I'm cooking tonight, how about having a meal together?"

"Hmph..." In this situation, how dare you invite others to have a meal?Cai Yan snorted coldly, and ran back to the back room in a hurry. If it hadn't been for the two-year lease agreement, she might be kicked out by now.

Of course Liu Tao knows this. Although Cai Yan is a nerd and a bit theoretical, he has both talents and virtues.Among other things, she did a very good job of keeping her promise.

This also means that in the next two years, Liu Tao will have an excuse to come to Zhen Jiang and find her by the way.After all, she is under the same roof, can she fly to avoid him?

In other words, since the target cannot escape, there is no need to hold on so tightly, especially since she is still angry now.

"Deran, do you know the owner?" Zhen Jiang walked over at this time, she didn't hear the conversation between the two just now, but she saw their expressions.

Then I began to feel that somewhere in my heart was very uncomfortable, super uncomfortable.That feeling is like the uncomfortable feeling when I had younger brothers and sisters when I was a child, and then my parents focused on them and forgot about myself.

"If you say I know you, then you really know her... She is the school secretary of Lantai, and I was rewarded by His Majesty to go to Lantai to read books for three days, so we got to know each other; especially the name Cai Yan is so famous that I don't know her if I don't want to know her." Difficult." Liu Tao nodded.

"Cai Yan?" Zhen Jiang was very unfamiliar with this name, and really didn't understand why it was so famous.

"She is recognized as a talented woman in Luoyang. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is very famous among the gentry. When she married Wei Zhongdao, I don't know how many gentry shed tears." Liu Tao laughed. He noticed, Someone is eavesdropping.

"But it's not right... If she gets married... Could it be..." Zhen Jiang wanted to say that it was strange why she was married and lived alone at home, but then she thought of a result, and she didn't dare to say it.

"It seems that Wei Zhongdao died of illness not long after we got married. She was scorned by Wei's family, so she simply moved back to live." Liu Tao explained, "It was not easy for her. After returning, there was a problem with daily expenses. No, it's all The house is going to be rented out."

"Is that so..." Zhen Jiang felt a little sympathetic towards Cai Yan's life experience upon hearing this.It's just that obviously this can't really divert her attention, and she quickly continued to ask, "But Deran, it seems that your relationship is not as simple as knowing each other..."

Sure enough... No, there must be no escape.Liu Tao didn't think that this low-level diversion of attention would work.

"She is about the same age as me, and we have talked a few times, and found that we all get along very well." Liu Tao pinched Zhen Jiang's little face, "We are still good friends at the moment, but what will happen in the future? It depends on your performance."

"Gu...it's obviously Deran's problem, why should it be blamed on me..." Zhen Jiang was not so easy to be fooled, "Also, Deran, you made me so hurt..."

"You are too soft here, I can't help but want to bully you." Liu Tao laughed, but he let it go. A joke is a joke, and it's not good to overdo it. "Okay, I'm going out to prepare some materials. Well, I will cook tonight."

"Deran...how about we just get married?" Liu Tao was about to turn around, but when Zhen Jiang said this out of the blue, he almost staggered and fell.

Seeing Liu Tao's bewildered look, Zhen Jiang chased after him and said, "Don't you just hate it, we are not married yet, so I can't help you? As long as we get married... if we get married..."

"Don't think of me as that kind of impatient man, okay?" Liu Tao could only continue to persuade, "Marriage is not only about that, everyday getting along is equally important. I just ask you to be more gentle and considerate. Then I I also love you more and accompany you more..."

"Even if Deran doesn't say this... I will do that..." Zhen Jiang replied shyly after hearing the words.

"Then it's settled, I'll prepare the ingredients first." Liu Tao stretched out his hand and scraped her nose before leaving.

When he left the house, he didn't expect Cai Yan to be waiting outside.At this moment, she looked a little weird, as if she was hesitant to speak.

"How long have you been eavesdropping on corners? I didn't expect that talented Cai would also listen to corners?" Liu Tao teased.

"This is my house, what do I need to sneak around? It's normal to overhear something by accident!" Cai Yan retorted directly, "Also, what did you mean by that sentence before... What do you want to happen to me?"

"Then Cai is a talented girl..." Liu Tao came directly to her ear, "What do you want to happen to me?"

"I'm ignoring you!" Cai Yan was about to leave, but she didn't want to be pulled into Liu Tao's arms directly. She struggled symbolically for a few times, and then gave up resistance, "You have a fiancée, why did you come to provoke me? ?”

"The problem is that you have provoked me, what do you think should I do?" Liu Tao whispered in her ear, his breath blew over her ears with a slight warmth, and her ears were itchy, and her heart was itching even more.

"Then what do you think..." Cai Yan was a little confused for a while, and said something involuntarily.

"What should I do..." Liu Tao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Then I'll be at a disadvantage. How about if you both want it?"

"Hmph!" Cai Yan broke free from his embrace and cursed, "How can there be such a rascal as you...don't even think about it!"

Chapter 197 On the Importance of Cooking

Angry?Of course it is impossible to be angry, maybe a little bit, but there is still room for it.Instead of being really angry, I basically wouldn't say a word after the 'hum'.

Enemies meet with one more sentence, and being able to say that one more sentence says a lot.

"I'm cooking tonight, remember to come and eat!" Liu Tao shouted in the direction she left, "How about the braised pork?"

"..." Cai Yan's figure paused for a moment, and then ran to the back room, apparently hearing it.

"Who would have thought that Cai's talented woman would actually like braised pork...however, the spices are too expensive, so she can't eat them often." Liu Tao said with emotion.Whether it's cinnamon, star anise, or anise, some are used as spices, but more are used as medicines.

Therefore, it is not easy to obtain, and the price is also high.Except for the fact that cinnamon has a branch in Jiaozhou, whether star anise, fragrant leaves, grass fruit, fennel, cumin, and nutmeg are cultivated in China is unclear.

Maybe you have the opportunity to try making fish sauce. In the era of no MSG, fish sauce may be a good refreshing product.

After Liu Tao left, the second daughter had to meet up.After Zhen Jiang made all the arrangements for the salute, he had to ask Cai Yan to find out about the situation in the house, and what taboos there were.

Of course, this is her excuse, but the real purpose is to find out what kind of person this talented woman who attracted Liu Tao's attention is.

The tenant wanted to see her, and Cai Yan had no reason not to see her, but felt a little embarrassed.Thinking of Liu Tao's declaration of 'all married', it is even more awkward.

The contact between the two was not very smooth, and both sides seemed hesitant to speak.Even if he opened his mouth, he was talking about some serious business, or some irrelevant topics.

"Sister Cai...do you like Deran?" Zhen Jiang finally plucked up the courage to ask.

"I like it... I don't know, we haven't met that many times..." Cai Yan was taken aback when he heard this, and then shook his head, "I just think he is special, different from everyone I have met before. Very bad, very Not serious, but very gentle."

"Actually, I am very envious of Sister Cai..." Zhen Jiang was silent for a while, and then said slowly, "I only met him once or twice. The marriage contract was made by my father. When I saw him, I'm even a little overwhelmed."

"You only met once or twice?" Cai Yan was a little surprised, the marriage was arranged so hastily?

"Although the Zhen family has a large number of people and a good family business, few of them have become officials. My father tried to buy Shangcai Ling, but when he took office, he realized that he was basically ordered by the county magistrate and the county magistrate, in conjunction with various Caos. It’s empty.” Zhen Jiang shook his head.

Besides, the Zhongshan Zhen family is not as powerful as imagined.It's okay in Zhongshan County, after all, it's the prefect of the county, so even Zang Min, the prefect of Zhongshan, has to give a little favor.But outside of Zhongshan County, the local government took a lot of effort to manage it.

The prefects in the key places are also boycotting the Zhen family. If it wasn't for the Zhang family and the Su family, the three troubled brothers united, otherwise the Zhen family's business might not even be able to leave Zhongshan County.

The children of the three families all have an urgent need to become an official. It is this need that made Zhen Yi agree to Liu Tao's marriage proposal.It's just that the biggest problem is Zhen Jiang himself, who is still too young, so there is a three-year contract.

The Cai family of Chenliu was regarded as a soldier, and many of the children in the family became officials. For example, his uncle Cai Zhi served as a guard, and his father also became an official at a young age. Cai Yan never thought that it would be so difficult to become an official.

But she has a deep understanding of how difficult it is after becoming an official.Just say his father, now he has to avoid misfortune from Wu County.Fights in the officialdom sometimes involve not only calculations and conspiracies, but also axes.

In the follow-up conversation, she almost figured out the context of the matter.In the beginning of the marriage between the Zhen family and Liu Tao, the Zhen family took the initiative. After all, Liu Tao needs material support, and the Zhen family needs Liu Tao's connections to become an official.

After Liu Tao became the general of Yubayashi, the Zhen family began to take the passive role in the marriage between the two.Zhen Jiang would come to Luoyang at this time, and it was more because Zhen Shi wanted to remind him of the marriage.But if Liu Tao really wanted to go back on his word, the Zhen family probably couldn't do anything to him.

After all, it was just a marriage contract, not a real marriage.Before the official marriage, this marriage is actually full of variables.Zhen Jiang said before that he wanted to marry Liu Tao, but in fact it was just to make everything more secure...

"I'm back!" At this time, Liu Tao came back with a lot of ingredients, "I'm going to prepare it now, but the braised pork needs more than half an hour to prepare, so I have to wait."

"Deran, what kind of meat is braised pork?" Zhen Jiang heard this for the first time, and leaned over curiously.

"Very delicious meat!" Liu Tao laughed, "Look, this talented girl is almost drooling."

"...Nope!" Cai Yan wiped her mouth subconsciously, only to realize that Liu Tao was teasing her.Zhen Jiang nodded awkwardly when she saw this, the braised pork seemed to be really delicious...
