The engagement ceremony is to announce the news that two people are together to the upper class people from all walks of life.

But if you simply think that is all, you are 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 all related people know the relationship between the two people and gives the matter a personality, but also informs the outside world of a message.

From now on, he, Tang Ze, will have the Suzuki Group behind him.

He has a good idea of ​​what attitude to adopt and the Suzuki family will definitely stand behind him and support him.

Well, that's probably what it means. However, these are external matters. For Tang Ze and the others, although the engagement seemed to be forced, it was just a matter of convenience, and they did not have any aversion to it.

After all, the two had already bought and worn engagement rings long before, and they treated the engagement ceremony with the mentality that they didn't have to hold it or not.

You don’t have to do it, you can just invite your friends and family to your home and do a simple one.

They had thought about holding a big one, but it wasn't a wedding after all. Thinking about all the complicated matters, two quiet-loving people were a little reluctant to hold it and wanted to save the excitement for the wedding.

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

So even though their relationship may seem lacking in passion and somewhat dull to outsiders, the two of them are still quite happy with it.

Although it ended up being a big affair, it was still a formal ceremony, and the two happily chose to accept it.

Well, it’s also nice to show off your affection openly~

While chatting about the upcoming engagement, Tang Ze soon drove to the underground parking lot of the shopping mall.

The two got out of the car and entered the mall, then took the written list of ingredients and began to pick out food ingredients and some other daily necessities.

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

Because it was too troublesome to go to the seafood market or vegetable garden to choose one by one, the two of them 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 not send it...

In response to this, Tang Ze said that shopping together is also a form of daily dating for the two of them. It is convenient to have someone deliver the goods, but there is no process involved.

The things are not important, the process is what is important.

The total number of people gathered from both families was eight, just enough to cook a large table of dishes. Therefore, today both of them were ready to show off their skills in front of each other's families.

After purchasing the ingredients, the two returned home and began to process them. Some of the work that required strength, such as preparing meat, was given to Tang Ze, while the relatively easy but careful work of washing and picking vegetables was given to Ayako.

When Tang Ze's parents and the Suzuki family arrived at the courtyard, they saw that the food had already been prepared and cleaned.

"Wow, it looks so delicious." After walking into the kitchen, Yuanzi saw the various ingredients piled on the plate and pointed at them and asked, "Sister, what are you going to make with this?"

“Tempura platter.”

"What about these spareribs?"

"Braised spareribs." Tang Ze replied with a smile, "And I bought some tenderloin to make sweet and sour pork tenderloin."

"I like this!!" Yuanzi's eyes lit up when he heard it and said, "Then I look forward to your great performance, brother-in-law~"

"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Tang Ze said with a smile while moving his hands non-stop.

Speaking of sweet and sour pork, there is another interesting thing.

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

There is no such dish in China, but it is called "Caihua Cuisine" in Neon.

The most representative dish among them is Tien Shin rice. Of course, it is not the three-eyed guy in Dragon Ball, but a flower-growing dish popular in Neon.

When Tang Ze traveled through time in his previous life, there were still many Japanese people living in Tang Ze's hometown who believed that sweet and sour pork was a Japanese delicacy.

Emmmm…

Regarding this, Tang Ze could only say that his hometown was probably too big, and the place where they lived was not popular for eating such sweet-flavored dishes, so they had never seen it before.

After all, there’s a joke about a foreigner who said he wanted to eat all the cuisine in the flower-growing province in a year, but three years later he still hasn’t left the Panda Province…

Of course, this is just a joke, and it can be regarded as a "progress bar" in the process of making food.

As plates of food from different countries were served, Suzuki Jirokichi looked at Tang Ze and praised him, "I originally thought you were great at your career but terrible at housework. I didn't expect you to have this skill. You're really versatile."

"You're too kind. I'm still far behind a professional chef." Tang Ze smiled and shook his head, but it wasn't entirely modesty.

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

"After all, you, Tang Ze, are a world-famous criminal. Even Kidd can't get away with it under your command. Cooking is not your main job."

Suzuki Tomoko took a piece of sweet and sour pork, tasted it, and praised it, "But even so, your cooking skills are quite impressive for a hobby!"

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

Suzuki Jirokichi devoured a whole pork chop in just two bites. "That nasty thief Kaito Kid might be eyeing that painting. If that happens, I'll have to trouble you, Tang Ze-kun, for help!"

"No way, Uncle Jirokichi."

Upon hearing this, Sonoko waved her hands and said, "As everyone knows, Kid-sama is a thief who specializes in stealing gems. He has no interest in other works of art."

"Haha, of course I know about this."

Suzuki Jirokichi laughed heartily upon hearing this. "But this work of mine is a little special, so I said it might be targeted by Kidd!"

"Hmm? Something special?" Yuanzi asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the painting is inlaid with gemstones?"

But what Sonoko didn't expect was that Suzuki Jirokichi nodded directly and said, "Yes, that's right. The painting is inlaid with four top-grade black opal gemstones known as the 'Brilliant Starry Sky'.

Rather than saying that Kaito Kidd's target is the precious painting, it's better to say that it's the four precious gems on top of the painting!"

After Suzuki Jirokichi finished explaining, he looked at Tang Ze and said with a smile: "If Kaito Kidd really sets his eyes on that painting, I'll have to trouble you to go there again."

"No problem. If Kaito Kidd really sends out a notice, I will definitely do my best to protect the work." Upon hearing this, Tang Ze nodded with a smile and agreed to Suzuki Jirokichi's request.
