Chapter 310: Tomato brisket
"It's inconvenient for you to be exposed now, there is a secret room here, so I'll wronged you to stay in it for a while, but I promise, three meals a day plus pastries and sugar water will not be missing you."
Zuo Xiangling grinned, smiling very brightly and flatteringly, Zhuo Yunqing had no choice but to follow Zuo Xiangling, and finally entered a secret door in Zuo Xiangling's room.
Next, it was time to inform Yunni, and when she was at a loss, Zuo Xiangling's realization inadvertently fell on Tianba in the cat's nest on the side.
Zuo Xiangling's lips were slightly hooked, and she walked to the cat's nest with compassion, Tianba seemed to have encountered something, and when Zuo Xiangling was one step away from it, she opened her sharp cold eyes, Zuo Xiangling knew that she had been discovered, so she smiled flatteringly.
"Say, what do you have to ask Uncle Ben?"
Every time Zuo Xiangling laughs mysteriously, she proves that she has something to ask herself, and Tianba is already familiar with this.
"Hehe, that, please go and send a message to Yunni."
Zuo Xiangling is simply trying to please Tianba, her face is about to stiffen with laughter, she has been busy with various things recently, and she has neglected Tianba, and many things that she said before have not been made for it, so Tianba has some resentment in her heart.
"Hmph, a woman who doesn't count when she talks, the previous things have been cashed in to Uncle Ben first, maybe I can think about it."
Zuo Xiangling owes him at least ten catties of dried fish, such a small dried fish is enough for him to flirt with how many little female cats, and how much happiness it can bring to it, it will never give Zuo Xiangling credit again!
Tianba thought in his heart, in order to make himself more prestigious, his posture was more calm and lazy.
Zuo Xiangling knew that it would be impossible not to make some delicious rewards for Tianba, but the matter of sending the letter could not be delayed, because he didn't know when these people would appear, if Yun Ni was controlled under their noses, and then let Yun Ni do something rebellious, it would not be such a fun thing.
"Linglong go clean up the kitchen, I'll come later."
Zuo Xiangling commanded motionlessly, but she was very panicked in her heart, she was going to stabilize Tianba first and let it help her deliver the letter first, and then start preparing the ingredients herself, otherwise she would always have things left in her heart, and she couldn't concentrate on making things.
After Linglong left, Zuo Xiangling walked in front of Tianba and said softly.
"Look, I've asked Linglong to prepare, can you help me deliver the letter first, I promise, as soon as you come back, you can eat hot pies and dried fish, if you have any other instructions, I will definitely do it."
After speaking, he looked at Tianba with an expectant face, and the expectation in his eyes was almost like turning into sea water to submerge Tianba, and his hair was about to stand on end.
"Okay, okay, who told us to go on a rope."
casually dropped a sentence, and then lay back in the cat nest, Zuo Xiangling was afraid that Tianba would regret it, so he immediately went to the table to write a letter.
After writing the new one, Zuo Xiangling held the letter above his head with both hands, and then stood in front of Tianba with a ninety-degree bow, which could be said to be full of sincerity.
Tianba opened his eyes very arrogantly, and walked to the table with a cat, just like a nobleman.
But when it found that if it didn't jump up, it wouldn't be able to reach the letter in Zuo Xiangling's hand, and there was a burst of embarrassment in its heart, but Zuo Xiangling bowed deeply, not noticing its embarrassment at all.
At the same time, I was relieved, but I also felt very embarrassed.
"Short, Uncle Ben can't reach it."
In order not to destroy the nobility on his body at this time, Tianba could only convey his thoughts to Zuo Xiangling in his mind.
When Zuo Xiangling heard this, she almost didn't hold back her laughter, but when she saw the more and more black lines on Tianba's forehead, she could only hold back, and then her feet showed a posture of zama step.
Tianba opened his mouth elegantly and grabbed the envelope in Zuo Xiangling's hand, then turned around and disappeared into the window with a leap. 360 Literature Network
Looking at the disappeared Tianba, Zuo Xiangling finally couldn't help laughing.
Tianba is no longer just a companion and a cat, they are now family.
Since she promised Tianba, even if Zuo Xiangling can't fulfill all the promises, she still has to go to the kitchen to make some food for Tianba.
This time, Zuo Xiangling wants to do something different for Tianba, she has to fill her stomach first, and she can follow it herself.

Potatoes or carrots can be added to your preference.
