The news of the victory came to Beijing, and Li Zhi and the civil and military officials were also in ecstasy. Zhang Zong has not yet received this news. Recently, he has focused all his energy on the cases of Beiyuan and Furongyuan. Although the high-yield crops in Furongyuan have been preserved, the case must be solved. Di Renjie has been staring at Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi and others for the time being, in order to find out the planner behind the scenes.

However, Zhang Zong could only come up with ideas behind the scenes to help Di Renjie analyze the case, and really investigate it little by little, and find clues from a lot of information. He also needs professionals like Di Renjie to do it. He couldn't help, so he could only wait patiently at home.

The weather became hotter and pests broke out in the flowers and plants in the flowerbed, which made Zhang Zong very helpless, but this was also a problem that all flower farmers often encountered, so he also bought some copper alum and made a copper sulfate solution to exterminate insects for flowers and plants.

In fact, flowers and plants are far less fragile as people imagine. Even if Zhang Zong doesn’t care now, when the temperature rises a little, these insects will not be able to withstand the high temperature. However, Zhang Zong doesn’t want too many insects at home, so he used medicine to kill a group of them. It is estimated that there will be fewer by autumn.

However, just as Zhang Zong sprayed the plants, he suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting: "Hey! What are you doing?"

"Why are you here again?" Zhang Zong didn't even raise his head when he heard this voice, because the sound came from the top of his head, so he knew it must be Taiping without asking.

"I'm here to find you to fulfill your previous agreement. You don't want to cheat, right?" Taiping said in anger.

"Agreement? What agreement?" Zhang Zong was stunned when he heard this. Finally, he raised his head and pulled down the facial towel that covered his mouth and nose. He asked. After all, copper sulfate is poisonous, so he was very careful when spraying medicine.

"I knew you must have forgotten. Didn't you agree to treat me to dinner last time?" Taiping said with his hands on his hips and said very arrogantly.

When Zhang Zong heard this, he remembered that Taiping had given cactus in the name of her birthday, and he also made several requests, one of which was invited to her for dinner, and it must be a dish made by Zhang Zong himself. However, Taiping never happened again later, so Zhang Zong also threw this matter behind his mind, but she still remembered it.

"Okay, then you can set a time and I will cook for you then!" Zhang Zong had no choice but to say helplessly. Since he agreed to the other party, he would not break his promise. Even though he was cheated by Taiping once before, he actually helped her supervise her. Now her princess mansion is almost completed.

"No need to set the time. I finally left the palace and I don't know when the next time I left the palace, so I'd just go today. Go and cook!" Taiping said impromptuly.

"Now?" Zhang Zong looked at the medicine pot in his hand when he heard this, and then said helplessly, "I still have something to do now, and my family has not prepared. Is it a bit too hasty now?"

"It's okay, just finish the work and then cook. Anyway, I'll go back very late today!" Taiping insisted.

Now Zhang Zong had no choice but to call Wan'er, then report various ingredients, ask her to buy them at the vegetable market, and sprayed the remaining flowers and plants. At this time, Wan'er also came back. Zhang Zong asked her to go to the kitchen to clean up the vegetables first, and he went to the bathroom to take a bath. After all, if Taiping gets food poisoning, it would be bad.

After taking a shower, Zhang Zong changed into new clothes and came to the kitchen, but found that Taiping had fallen from the wall. He was sitting in the kitchen chatting with Wan'er. Although Wan'er was no longer her maid, she was still very respectful to Taiping and answered everything about Taiping. Of course, she would definitely not reveal a word of something that she could not say.

"I want to eat roast duck!" Taiping immediately shouted to him when he saw Zhang Zong coming in.

"How did you know that I have roast duck here?" Zhang Zong was stunned when he heard Taiping's words.

"The fourth brother said, he said that the roast duck here is the most delicious, and I asked Wan'er just now, she will make roast duck!" Taiping said again.

"Then don't think about it. Roasted duck is very complicated to make, especially the early preparations are very time-consuming. Now it's almost noon. How can I have time to prepare roast duck for you?" Zhang Zong immediately refused. Roasted duck is not ready for a while, and he even needs to prepare in advance if he wants to eat it.

"No, I'm going to eat roast duck!" Taiping began to mess around. Although she was getting older, her willfulness and willfulness did not change at all.

"Young Master, I have cleaned the duck and marinated it. I guess I can roast it in the afternoon. It may take until evening until the baking is done, but you can take it back for dinner." Wan'er said softly at this time.

"Okay, okay, dinner is OK, but Wan'er, you have to roast a few more. I'll take them back and give them to my father and the others to try!" Taiping nodded immediately and said with a sudden look.

Zhang Zong had no choice but to refuse when he heard this, so he had to nod. Then he rolled up his sleeves and cooked a few dishes in person. Seeing Zhang Zong skillfully frying, cooking and frying, Taiping also showed a very surprised expression. He heard that he had heard of it before, but when he saw that Zhang Zong was really so proficient in cooking, it also made her feel very eye-opening. After all, among the men she knew, only Zhang Zong would cook and cook in person.

In fact, it is not surprising that Taiping was surprised. In ancient times, cooks were also a low-key business, and they were generally held by women. For example, in the mansions of some noble officials, there were usually only cooks. Of course, men were cooks in some restaurants, but their status was low and they were not elegant at all. Ordinary aristocrats and scholars even believed in "a gentleman stayed away from the kitchen". Not to mention cooking, they were not willing to enter the kitchen door.

Soon the dishes were ready, and Wan'er delivered these dishes to the table in front of Taiping. Zhang Zong washed his hands and prepared to go back to the study, but he didn't expect that Taiping suddenly called him and said, "Where are you going?"

"Go back to the study?" Zhang Zong said naturally.

"As the master, don't you have dinner with me?" Taiping asked angrily after hearing this.

"There is a difference between men and women. I don't have female relatives at home, so just let Wan'er greet you on my behalf!" Zhang Zong frowned. He was not ready to have a meal with Taiping.

"No, you are you, Wan'er is Wan'er, how can you confuse me? Sit down and have dinner with me!" Taiping said arrogantly again. She felt that Zhang Zong had neglected herself if she didn't accompany her to eat, so she felt very uncomfortable.

Zhang Zong was also very angry when he heard this. It would have been fine if Taiping asked him to accompany him to have dinner with him, but the other party liked to use evidence of orders, which also aroused his disgust.
