Chapter 401 The party before the engagement
  The engagement ceremony is an announcement to the upper echelons of society that the two are together.

But if you simply think that is the case, you would be totally wrong.

In addition, this actually has another meaning, which is also a help to Tang Ze.

This kind of "announcement to the world" not only lets everyone who has a relationship know about the relationship between the two and gives the matter a personality, but also tells the outside world a message.

He, Karasawa, will be standing behind the Suzuki Consortium from now on.

What attitude should I use to face it? I have some AC in my heart. The Suzuki family will definitely stand behind it and support it.

Well, that's probably what it means, but these are all external matters. For Tang Ze and the two of them, although the engagement is suspected of being rushed, it is just a matter of convenience, and they have no objection to this matter.

After all, both of them had already bought engagement rings and put them on before, and they also approached the engagement ceremony with a do-or-no attitude.

It’s okay not to do it, but it’s also okay to invite relatives and friends to come over and do simple things at home.

It's not that they haven't thought about having a big event, but after all, it's not a wedding. Thinking about so many complicated affairs, the two people who like to be quiet don't want to hold it, and want to save the fun for the wedding.

In terms of personality, the two of them get along quite well. They are both relatively Buddhist and somewhat indifferent in personality.

So although the relationship may seem lackluster and dull to outsiders, the two of them still enjoy it.

Although it turned into a big event in the end, it was still considered a formal ceremony, and the two of them happily chose to accept it.

Well, it’s not bad to show affection on the outside again~
  While chatting about their upcoming engagement, Tangze soon drove to the underground parking lot of the shopping mall.

The two got out of the car and entered the mall. They took the written ingredients list and started picking out ingredients and other daily necessities.

Fresh fish, shrimp, vegetables, freshly slaughtered and cut pork.

Because it was too troublesome to go to places like seafood markets and vegetable gardens to choose one by one, the two simply got up early and went to the mall to pick out the fresh ingredients that had just been delivered in the morning.

As for your question about why it is not given away.
  In this regard, Karasawa said that shopping together is also a way for the two of them to date on a daily basis. It is convenient to have someone deliver it, but there is no such process.

Things are not important, the process is.

The total number of people in the gathering of the two families is eight, which is just enough to prepare a large table of dishes. For this reason, both of them are ready to show off their special skills today and prepare to show off their skills in front of each other's family members.

After purchasing the ingredients, the two returned home and began to process the ingredients. Some of the meat-requiring tasks were left to Karasawa, while the relatively easy but careful tasks of washing and selecting vegetables were left to Ayako.

When Karasawa's parents and the Suzuki family arrived at the courtyard, they saw the prepared and washed ingredients.

"Wow, it looks so rich." After entering the kitchen, Yuanzi saw the various ingredients piled on the plate and pointed at them and asked: "Sister, what are you going to do with this?"

“Tempura platter.”

"What about this ribs?"

"Braised pork ribs." Tangze replied with a smile: "And I bought tenderloin specially to make sweet and sour pork loin."

"I like this!!" Yuanzi's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "Then I look forward to you, brother-in-law, showing off your skills~"

"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Tang Ze kept moving his hands and said with a smile. Speaking of sweet and sour pork, there is another interesting thing.

This dish is considered by Neon people to be a flower-growing dish unique to Neon.

Even flower growers don’t have this dish, but in Neon it is called a cauliflower dish.

One of the most representative dishes is Tianjin rice. Of course, it is not the three-eyed guy in Dragon Ball, but a flower-planting dish that is popular in Neon.

When Karasawa traveled through time in his previous life, there were still many Neon people living in Karasawa's hometown who believed that sweet and sour pork was a flower-growing dish unique to Neon.

Emmmm...

Regarding this, Karasawa could only say that maybe his hometown is too big, and the place where they live happens to not be popular for eating such sweet dishes, so they have never seen it.

After all, isn’t there a joke about a foreigner who said he wanted to eat all the Huahua’s dishes in a year, but three years later he still hasn’t left the Panda Province...

Of course, this is just a joke, a "progress bar" on the way to cooking.

Seeing the plates of dishes from different countries being served, Suzuki Jirokichi looked at Karasawa and praised: "I originally thought that you would be great at career but a mess at home. I didn't expect that you actually have this skill. You are really versatile."

"Excuse me. It's still far behind professional cooks." Tang Ze smiled and shook his head, which was not entirely modest.

After all, he often went to eat Yukihira and Erina's hidden recipes with Ayako. He knew how delicious those dishes were, and there was no way to compare them.

"After all, you, Karasawa, are a famous criminal in the world. Even Kidd can't be happy with you. Being a chef is not your main job."

Tomoko Suzuki picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork, tasted it and praised: "But even so, your skills are very good as a hobby!"

"Speaking of Kidd, I have a precious award-winning painting drawn by a friend next week, and I will be returning to Neon with him from overseas."

Jiro Koshi Suzuki ate up a rib in two mouthfuls, "I'm afraid that hateful thief Kaitou Kidd will be eyeing that painting, and then I'll have to ask Karasawa-kun for help!"

"No way, Uncle Jiroji."

Hearing this, Sonoko waved her hands and said, "As we all know, Kid-sama is a phantom thief who specializes in stealing gems and is not interested in other works of art."

"Haha, of course I know about this."

Suzuki Jirokichi laughed loudly when he heard this, "But this work of my friend is a bit special, so I said that it might be targeted by that Kidd guy!"

"Huh? Something special?" Yuanzi heard this and asked suspiciously: "Is it possible that the painting is inlaid with gems?"

But what Sonoko didn't expect was that Suzuki Jirokichi nodded directly and said: "Yes, that's it. That painting is inlaid with four top-quality black opal gems known as the "Brilliant Starry Sky".

It's not so much that Kaitou Kidd's target is the precious painting, but rather the four precious gems on top of the painting! "

After Suzuki Jirokichi finished explaining, he looked at Karasawa and said with a smile: "If Kaitou Kid is really eyeing that painting, I will bother you to make a trip."

"No problem. If Kaito Kidd really sends a notice, then I will definitely protect the work with all my strength." Karasawa smiled and nodded when he heard this, and agreed to Suzuki Jirokichi's request.
