Chapter 197: On the Importance of Cooking

Angry? Of course it's impossible to be angry, maybe a little, but there's room for it. When I was really angry, I basically didn't say a word after 'hum'.

When an enemy meets a lot, it says a lot to be able to say that more.

"I'll cook tonight, remember to come to dinner!" Liu Tao shouted in the direction she left, "How about braised pork?" ”

".................." Cai Yan's figure paused, and then ran to the back room with a smoke, and it seemed that he heard it.

"Who would have thought that Cai Dacai would like braised pork...... However, spices are too expensive and cannot be eaten often. Liu Tao sighed. Whether it's cinnamon, star anise, or fennel or whatever, some are used as spices, but more often as medicines.

So it's not easy to obtain, and the price is on the high side. Excluding cinnamon in Jiaozhou, star anise, bay leaves, grass fruit, fennel, cumin and nutmeg, whether they are cultivated in China or not, are still two words.

Maybe you have the opportunity to try making fish sauce, in the era when there is no MSG, fish sauce may be a good freshness.

After Liu Tao left, the two daughters still had to meet. After Zhen Jiang arranged all the salutes, he had to learn about the situation of the house with Cai Yan, and what were the taboos.

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

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

The contact between the two was not very smooth, and both sides looked like they wanted to talk and stopped. Even if you open your mouth, you are talking about something serious, or something innocuous about it.

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

"Loved it...... I don't know, we haven't met that many times......" Cai Yan was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "I just think he is a little special, and he is different from the people I have been in contact with before." It's bad, it's not serious, but it's very gentle. ”

"Actually, I envy Sister Cai......" Zhen Jiang was silent for a while when he heard this, and then said slowly, "I have only met him once or twice. The marriage contract was made between my father and him, and when I was asked to meet him, I was even a little overwhelmed. ”

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

"Although the Zhen family has many clansmen and a lot of family business, there are few people in the clan. 's father tried to buy Cai Ling, but when he took office, he found that he was basically overshadowed by the county governor and the county lieutenant, and Cao Peng. Zhen Jiang shook his head.

Besides, Zhongshan Zhen is not as powerful as imagined. Zhongshan County is okay, after all, it is a county, so even if Zhongshan is too guarded, he has to give a few thin noodles. But out of Zhongshan County, the local government spent a lot of effort.

If it weren't for the Zhang family and the Su family, the three difficult brothers and sisters would have joined forces, otherwise maybe Zhen's business would not even be able to get out of Zhongshan County.

The children of the three families have an urgent need for the outstanding, and it is this demand that makes Zhen Yi agree to Liu Tao's marriage proposal. It's just that the biggest problem is that Zhen Jiang himself is still too young, so he has a three-year appointment.

Chen Liucai is a soldier, and there are many children in the family, for example, his uncle and grandfather Cai Zhen served as a guard captain, and his father was already a soldier at a young age, Cai Yan never thought that it would be so difficult to become a soldier.

But how difficult it is after becoming a priest, she has a deep understanding. Let's just say that his father now has to avoid the trouble of Wu County. In the battle of officialdom, sometimes there is not only calculation, conspiracy, but also axe.

In the follow-up conversation, she almost figured out the context of the matter. At the beginning, the marriage between Zhen and Liu Tao was more of Zhen's taking the initiative, after all, Liu Tao needed material support, and Zhen needed Liu Tao's connections.

When Liu Tao became the general of Yulin Zhonglang, the marriage between the two, Zhen began to occupy a passive position. Zhen Jiang will come to Luoyang at this time, more because Zhen is reminding him of the marriage. But Liu Tao really wants to regret it, and it is estimated that Zhen can't help him.

After all, it's just a marriage contract, and it's not really married. 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'll prepare it now, but the braised pork needs more than half an hour to prepare, so I'll have to wait a while." ”

"Deran, what kind of meat is braised pork?" When Zhen Jiang heard about this for the first time, he leaned in with some curiosity.

"Delicious meat!" Liu Tao smiled, "Look, Cai Dacai's daughter is going to drool." ”

“…… Not at all! Cai Yan subconsciously wiped her mouth, only to realize that Liu Tao was making fun of her. Seeing this, Zhen Jiang nodded Mumu, looking at the situation, this braised pork seems to be really delicious......

"How's Deran's cooking?" Seeing that Liu Tao began to go to the kitchen, Zhen Jiang had no choice but to ask.

"What do you say about his cooking skills......" Cai Yan was a little entangled, "It's hard to evaluate, after all, the dishes cooked are almost never seen before." Even His Majesty is full of praise, but subconsciously, he will feel that it is not very serious......"

I can't say why, but I just feel this way.

"Sister Cai, can you tell me about him in Luoyang?" Zhen Jiang asked further, after all, she still knew too little about Liu Tao. I don't know what he was like when I didn't know.

"I don't know much...... Cai Yan really can't hate Zhen Jiang, such a cute girl is really annoying to be a victim of a family marriage.

The relationship between the two began to improve, and they slowly began to chat, which was not as distant as it was at the beginning. Zhen Jiang is like a curious sister, and Cai Yan is like a sister who dotes on her sister, and the two get along very well.

"It's time to eat!" More than an hour later, Liu Tao shouted, and the two ended chatting.

"There is fish and meat, there is soup and dessert!" Liu Tao smiled, "Eat openly, you're welcome!" ”

"Then again...... This is my home, right? Cai Yan teased. When will it be my turn to be polite? ”

"No, no, no, I rented this place." Zhen Jiang also said, "I don't need to be polite......"

"Anyway......" Liu Tao didn't understand, in such a short period of time, it became an offensive and defensive alliance? But it's okay, at least it's much better than the Shura field, "Open up and eat!" ”

After the actual meal, Zhen Jiang really couldn't close his mouth, and it seemed that there would always be food in his small mouth.

"What is this...... It's delicious...... How to do ......" was the kind of thing she said the most after she took the seat.

It's not the first time Cai Yan has eaten it, but every time he eats it, he feels that Liu Tao's craftsmanship is really good. In particular, the taste of these dishes seems to improve slightly every time, which is really impressive.

Seeing the two of them eating with relish, the corners of Liu Tao's mouth raised slightly, cooking skills are really important.
