Ji Zhao thought for a while, quickly wrote down the ingredients she needed, and handed them to Zhubai.

"And that's all."

"Okay, just wait a moment, the little one will go get ready right away."

"Well, no rush."

Ji Zhao caught a glimpse of the big plump winter melon lying in the corner, and his heart moved to prepare a special dish.

She found some more bitter gourd and dried shrimp, rolled up her sleeves, washed her hands, and started making soup.

The most bitter part of bitter gourd is its core, so first cut the bitter gourd into sections and remove the core.

Peel the wax gourd and cut it into thin slices, and prepare some seaweed and shrimp skin.

While Ji Zhao was immersed in cooking, the atmosphere in the side hall of the county government was a bit weird.

"No, no, it's definitely not going to work like this!" Ji Tingan hurriedly grabbed Qin Minghong's sleeve, and said anxiously, "If you drop the chess piece here, wouldn't you be throwing yourself into a trap?"

"Ji Ting'an," Qin Minghong tried hard to restrain the anger in his heart, his eyes darkened, "Watching chess without talking is a real gentleman."

"Brother Qin, don't be angry." Ji Tingan withdrew his hand awkwardly, with a bit of grievance in his tone, "I don't want you to lose?"

"The fun of the game comes from the contest between the two sides and the control of the situation. If you only think about winning or losing, the original fun of this game will be lost." Shen Yao explained softly.

"Oh." Ji Tingan replied sullenly, and then found a step for himself, "I suddenly remembered that there are some business matters that have not been dealt with. I will go to the study first, and I will come to you later."

After Ji Tingan left, Qin Minghong immediately put the chess pieces back into the chess cup.

"No more."

"Brother Qin and Master Ji seem to have a story?" Shen Yao asked softly, frowning slightly.

"It's just a casual acquaintance."

Qin Minghong didn't want to talk too much, so Shen Yao naturally didn't talk too much.

"You and A Tao, why did you suggest Ji Tingan to harvest the crops in advance?" Qin Minghong picked up the teacup on one side, took a sip, then looked at Shen Yao, and asked in a low voice.

"There must be locusts in a long drought." Shen Yao explained softly, "After reading the "Da Jing Zhi" with A Tao, we were very worried. Once the locusts crossed the border, the consequences would be unimaginable. So we decided to come Ask Master Ji for advice."

"But these are just your guesses."

Qin Minghong narrowed his eyes, the worry in his words was self-evident.

"Well." Shen Yao nodded calmly, "It's just that A Tao said that even if there is only a one-ten-thousandth possibility, she doesn't want to see the villagers crying bitterly. For the farming people, it was a fatal blow.

To make matters worse, there will be dead bodies everywhere, and Dingyuan County and even the entire Dajing Dynasty will be in chaos. "

"Historical books record many deeds of common people's uprisings, but no one has explored them. What is their purpose? Compared with saints, compared with court officials, the group of people who most look forward to the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people are ordinary people. people."

Qin Minghong lowered his head and stroked the teacup in his hand, and then said in a sad tone, "A Tao has a gentle and compassionate temperament. You are lucky to be able to marry her."

"Yeah, I think so too." Mentioning A Tao, Shen Yao's eyes softened a lot involuntarily.

"What you said earlier touched me a lot." Qin Minghong chuckled lightly, the emotion in his tone was incomprehensible, "In two days, I will return to Fucheng and prepare for the battle with all my strength." , to participate in the scientific examination this autumn."

"Then I'll wish Brother Qin all the best in advance."

"Thank you."

In the kitchen, Ji Zhao, who finished five dishes in a row, suddenly felt a little sore in his wrist.

She found a small mat, and just as she was sitting on it to rest, Ji Tingan walked in.

"I specially asked Zhubai to buy a roast chicken, please ask Madam Shen to cut it up?"

"it is good."

Ji Zhao smiled and nodded in agreement.

But in the blink of an eye, the roast chicken was cut up in Ji Zhao's hands.

The most amazing thing is that from the outside, the roast chicken is still intact.

"Your knife skills are extraordinary!"

Ji Tingan, who watched this scene, was a little dazed.

"My lord, I'm overwhelmed." Ji Zhao smiled lightly, and accepted the compliment very calmly.

"By the way, Mrs. Shen, do you mind if I ask you a question?" After getting her approval, Ji Tingan asked with concern, "I heard that Mrs. Shen was adopted by an old man in Shiliu Village, do you have any questions?" Do you want to find out your own life experience in the past?"

Ji Zhao was silent for a while, and finally shook his head slightly.

"Why?"

"For me, life experience is not important. What's more, I am married to Shen Yao, and I am very happy."

In fact, this is also the idea of ​​the original owner. The original owner never had the idea of ​​looking for his biological parents in the past.

After all, sometimes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment;

"Actually, your appearance is very similar to an elder I know." After struggling again and again, Ji Tingan still said this sentence.

"Master Ji, there are many people who look similar in this world!" Ji Zhao shrugged indifferently.

Seeing that she didn't want to continue this topic, Ji Tingan didn't ask any more questions, but he remembered another thing, "By the way, Madam Shen, can you do me a favor?"

"My lord, please tell me?"

"I offended Brother Qin before, and I've always felt very guilty." Ji Tingan thought for a while, and then said slowly, "On the Lantern Festival a year ago, my mother forced me to go on a blind date, and I don't like that Miss, so I found a clumsy excuse and declined this marriage."

"The poor excuse refers to..." Ji Zhao became more and more curious.

"Ahem," Ji Tingan coughed uncomfortably, and then said, "I told that girl directly, I... I am as good as Long Yang, and I don't like women. It's just that the girl is a bit tricky , insisted on asking me to prove it, so I... rushed to the box next door, and hugged Brother Qin in public..."

Ji Zhao imagined the scene, and the corners of his lips twitched unnaturally.

"Hey, this matter is my fault after all." Ji Tingan rubbed his brows with some annoyance, "Mrs. Shen, don't you and your wife have a good relationship with Brother Qin? Help me think about what I should do to express myself Where's your apology?"

"This... I don't know either."

What method should a man use to coax another man? For Ji Zhao, this topic is beyond the outline!

Gulu Gulu.

The amphora on the hot stove suddenly made a noise, and a thick white mist was formed.

"The soup is ready, shall we eat first?"

Ji Zhao feels that there is no trouble that cannot be solved with a meal;

If it really can't be solved, then——

How many more meals?
