Chapter 48 What are the signs of infidelity?



“…”

Jian Luo looked at him in shock.

Jiang Kang looked at Jian Luo eagerly, somewhat longing for a response, his attitude so earnest that it was beyond reach.

Jian Luo slowly withdrew his hand and said in a deep voice: "Please don't touch me casually."

Jiang Kang's face was filled with confusion. Seeing Jian Luo about to leave, he quickly chased after her: "Luoluo, Luoluo, are you angry with me?"

Jian Luo was so frustrated by him that she stopped in her tracks and looked at him coldly, "Something happened to me a while ago, and my mind is not normal anymore. I can't remember a lot of things, and I've forgotten you too. No matter what kind of relationship we had in the past, it doesn't count now that I've forgotten it."

Jiang Kang stayed where he was.

Jian Luo was satisfied: "That's it. I have distributed the tasks. I hope you can cooperate with me. Thank you."

Before she'd taken two steps, Jiang Kang caught up with her. "Luoluo, I didn't know you were in trouble, but don't worry, I'll definitely help you. It's okay if you forgot, I can help you find it. At worst, we can just start over. The first thing I did after returning from studying abroad was to come see you. Seeing that you're doing well now makes me feel relieved. Don't worry, I will definitely support your career and help you make progress together."

“…”

Jian Luo felt the doubts of the human world.

Finally, since they were still unfamiliar with each other, he could only bite the bullet and nod: "Okay, please get to work quickly. This is supporting my career."

Jiang Kang smiled slightly: "Then I'll go."

Jian Luo waved his hand: "No need to see me off."

He really had no impression of Jiang Kang, and his sudden appearance was puzzling. The key point was, why did this person come to his house to find him, but Su Liang never mentioned him at all?

My mother is not a careless person. If something really happened, she would definitely not keep silent about it. There might be a reason for it.

"Ding Dong."

The information terminal just happened to receive a message at this moment.

Jian Luo quickly opened the message and saw the message from Su Liang: "Luoluo, I saw Director Li sent me a message saying that you are back. Is that true?"

Jian Luo quickly replied: "Yes, Mom, I will go back at noon."

Su Liang was obviously very happy: "Okay, then mom will prepare lunch, and you can go home and eat directly after get off work."

Jian Luo responded: "Okay."

Waiting for lunch was very unbearable, so Jian Luo simply went to the field to guide a few young people in sowing.

A thin boy straightened his face immediately when he saw Jian Luo coming: "Leader."

"Don't be so serious." Jian Luo patted his shoulder: "I'm just a temporary instructor assigned by the higher-ups. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

The little boy nodded slightly.

Jiang Kang said from a distance, "Luoluo, can you come over here?"

Jian Luo ended the conversation with the little boy, walked to Jiang Kang's side, leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"We're discussing the density of these pepper seeds." Jiang Kang, always polite, said, "Based on past experience, a density of about 20cm should be sufficient. What do you think?"

Jian Luo squatted down to measure and gave a larger distance: "Stay farther away, the peppers shouldn't be too dense."

The other young people looked over curiously.

For human beings, working in a planting base is something that one must strive for throughout their lives, as is being able to grow crops well. In a planting base, people who are good at planting techniques are always particularly worthy of respect.

Jiang Kang asked, "Why?"

"Chili peppers rely heavily on sunlight. If photosynthesis is uneven, problems will arise." Jian Luo briefly explained, "When I applied, I specifically requested a greenhouse. That's why. This is the first batch of peppers, so the quality must be up to par. If the subsequent quality inspection passes the test with a high rate, your score will also be high."

Anleyuan adopts a scoring mechanism.

The better the quality of each batch of plants produced by the growers, the higher the scores of the same batch of growers will naturally be. When the scores accumulate to a certain level, they can be upgraded, and their salaries and treatment will be higher.

Director Li rose to prominence this way. He grew his own unique vegetable, and the quality of the vegetables he cultivated was always the best, so naturally he could become the director.

Jiang Kang stood up straight and looked at Jian Luo gently: "Luoluo, it seems that during these days when I was away, you haven't stopped making progress. That's great."

“…”

Jian Luo got goosebumps all over her body because of his corny behavior.

Jiang Kang was still insisting on saying something, but Jian Luo quickly waved his hand: "You guys continue planting, I'll go check on the others first."

So for the whole morning, Jian Luo felt as if someone was staring at him, and his back felt cold.

I finally made it to noon and ran back home just as Jiang Kang was about to come over again.

Su Liang was cooking and was very surprised when he saw Jian Luo: "Luoluo, why are you running?"

"I didn't run." Jian Luo wiped the sweat from his head: "I just walked a little faster, that's all."

Su Liang sighed and said, "Okay, just wash up and we'll have dinner."

Jian Luo went into the bathroom to wash her hands and said, "Mom, I want to ask you something. Is Jiang Kang related to our family?"

"Bang!"

There was a sound of breaking bowls in the kitchen.

Jian Luo was startled and ran over quickly: "What's wrong, Mom?"

"Luoluo, you met Jiang Kang?" Su Liang turned around in surprise and exclaimed, "Yes, how could I forget? He will definitely go to the base as well."

Jian Luo began to clean up the broken porcelain on the ground: "What on earth are you talking about?"

Su Liang knew that Jian Luo had indeed forgotten. She sighed, and after much consideration, she finally said, "Luoluo, come here."

Jian Luo was pulled by her to sit on the sofa.

Su Liang's face was unusually serious. "I didn't know about this matter originally. I only found out a little bit after he came back."

Jian Luo's heart skipped a beat: "What's the matter?"

I'm so sad. I must not tell him that I had an affair with Jiang Kang. If that happens, it will be a disaster, right?!

Su Liang sighed, "Mom heard that you did seem to be dating Jiang Kang before this, but you kept it a secret from me, so I didn't know."

“…”

Jian Luo felt his heart aching.

"Well, Mom, I don't think I have anything going on with him." Jian Luo was very confused: "We're just dating."

Su Liang had no idea about this kind of thing. What she was most worried about now was: "Luoluo, no matter what you had before, now that you are following the Marshal, you must be wholeheartedly devoted to him and cannot have any contact with Jiang Kang anymore, otherwise..."

Although Su Liang didn't say anything unfinished, Jian Luo could still guess something from it.

It's really too difficult.

Jian Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, I want to know how unreliable I am in your heart."

Su Liang's eyes were red.

"Alright, alright, I get it." Jian Luo sighed, "I'll explain it clearly to Jiang Kang. We were dating before, but we weren't married before. Besides, why do you have to listen to his one-sided story? What if he's deliberately trying to scam me because I've lost my memory?"

Su Liang was stunned.

Jian Luo felt that he had discovered the truth. Thinking of this, he patted Su Liang's hand and said, "Alright, let's eat!"

"……good."

He is going to do a live broadcast today.

It just so happened that the spicy tofu made with chili peppers was very popular last time, so this time he planned to make something else spicy.

After thinking about it, Jian Luo felt that making red oil noodles would be the best. He really felt sick of rice when he was eating just now, so this time he took the opportunity to make red oil noodles.

Taking out the big ball, Jian Luo adjusted the angle and said, "Hello everyone, today we are going to broadcast live."

There aren't many people in the live broadcast room:

"Wow, is the anchor on yet?"

"Oh, I've been waiting for a long time."

"What are we eating today?"

"Anchor, do you know Mr. Chen Guang from the Star Live Network?"

Jian Luo didn't want to talk about Mr. Chen Guang right now, so he chose to ignore it and said, "Thank you all for waiting for so long. Let's eat red oil noodles today!"

The most important thing about red oil noodles is that they are spicy.

Jian Luo remembered that he had never made dough for them before, so he became interested.

Fans are curious:

"Red oil?"

“Can the oil still be eaten?”

"What is facial skin? I feel like Yuese hasn't released any new styles yet."

Jian Luo had actually prepared noodles at home a long time ago. He took them out and kneaded the noodles, poured the flour into a bowl, and added water to it: "The noodles are the same noodles used to make potato pancakes, but this time we won't add potatoes to it. Instead, we'll make it into a separate noodle to eat."

Adding water is a technical job. The big ball took a very detailed picture of the bowl, and everyone could see very intuitively that the dough was clumping together and was very sticky. After a while, Jian Luo's hands were covered with the dough, which looked sticky and did not feel very good.

Some viewers who had the hologram turned on felt uncomfortable:

“This is too sticky.”

"Wow, I don't like it."

"Yeah, making noodles is too troublesome, forget it."

"No, I think it's quite fun."

Opinions were mixed. Jian Luo said to the audience in front of the camera: "When you knead the dough yourself, you should also pay attention to the amount of water you add. When making it for the first time, it is recommended to add less water at first, preferably little by little."

The dough was almost ready and needed to be left to ferment for a while. Jian Luo covered it with plastic wrap and set it aside: "We'll do that later. Let's boil the red oil first!"

There weren't many peppers left from the seed base last time, probably just enough for this one meal, so Jian Luo simply took them all out.

The audience was very excited when they saw Chili:

“Chili peppers again!”

"Oh my god, this thing was so spicy last time."

"I'm dry."

It seemed that many people had some psychological trauma about chili peppers. Jian Luo was both angry and amused, but he still reminded them conscientiously: "Well, everyone, be careful when cutting chili peppers in the future. Don't taste them casually. It's best to wash your hands in clean water after cutting chili peppers before rubbing your eyes. These are very important, otherwise you will get hurt by the spiciness."

Because chili peppers have not yet been released into the market in large quantities, many viewers are curious about Jian Luo's life experience. Is this something that an ordinary human anchor can get?

Where there is curiosity, there will be speculation.

Many people began to speculate about Jian Luo's identity based on the time of his live broadcast.

"I remember that only the growers or researchers at Phoenix Terrace could get the vegetable plants that hadn't been put on the market."

“So the anchor can actually get in there?”

"How did he get in? Isn't his background a bit too strong?"

Everyone was talking about it, and they were all very curious about Jian Luo's life experience, but there were also some malicious speculations:

"He's just a human being. How could he have been grown through legitimate channels?"

"It's also possible that a species was discovered on a certain mountain."

"That shouldn't be the case. We also need to report it before we can eat it, right?"

The speculation became more and more confusing, but most people, especially those who had tasted Mapo Tofu before, tended to recognize Jian Luo's strength. After all, no matter how sour people were, they could not hide the fact that Jian Luo could indeed produce many new products.

Here, Jian Luo has already processed the peppers.

The oil in the pot was already hot. He put all the peppers in and the oil boiled, making a sizzling sound.

Jian Luo said to the camera, "Be careful at all times, and be careful when adding the chili peppers. The oil will be very hot, and you need to stir the chili peppers constantly with a spoon, otherwise they will burn."

Chili peppers are pungent, and the fumes are pungent, but the first time the Dark Star people smelled them, it was even more uncomfortable than the first time they experienced the spiciness of chili peppers.

Those who turned on the hologram were caught off guard.

"Ahem, oh my god."

"It's hard to breathe."

"Host, are you making biological weapons?"

Many people couldn't wait to close the hologram, and the barrage of comments flew everywhere, and the negative reviews of the pepper almost never stopped. They basically had never seen this kind of plant, and it was so suffocating that, not to mention anything else, they would almost be sent away just by cooking a meal with it.

Jian Luo was also choked a little, but he was prepared and covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel. Sure enough, he was fine. The aroma of chili oil also began to gradually spread. This is an aroma unique to chili peppers, and it made Jian Luo, who always craved chili peppers, almost drool.

"Okay, that's almost done."

Jian Luo put the chili oil aside and finally had time to look at the noodles he had placed here earlier.

After about half an hour, the noodles were almost cooked.

Jian Luo placed the noodles in a basin and added some water: "Now wash the noodles, just like washing vegetables. You must wash them several times."

The water was poured onto the noodles, and soon the entire basin was dyed with a layer of milk-like color. Jian Luo kneaded the dough while washing it, paying attention to the color. Finally, when the color of the water became clearer, he stopped: "Now we need to collect the water from washing the noodles and let it sit."

The audience was stunned:

“I always thought it was eating that ball of noodles.”

"Can you still eat it after washing it like this?"

"To be honest, anchor, I always thought you were playing."

"I thought it was a +1 for eating noodles, but the anchor told me it was water."

Jian Luo, who had been playing, smiled but didn't say anything else. After the noodles were almost washed, he put them aside. After they stood there, only a layer of sediment remained in the basin.

After Jian Luo took out this layer, he first smeared a layer of oil in the steaming basin, and then spread the small layer of batter evenly: "Now let's steam it."

Unlike boiled chili peppers, this noodle had no taste and was very quiet. Jian Luo boiled it back and forth two or three times, and in the end only a thin piece of dough was left. This was the highlight of today!

The audience was also amazed:

“The process is comparable to a chemistry experiment.”

“Oh my god, this is so hard.”

“I look forward to the final result and hope the host won’t let me down.”

Everyone was crying out in anxiety, but Jian Luo was not anxious at all. Instead, he leisurely put the dough aside and prepared the condiments by himself.

When eating noodles, you need to add some auxiliary ingredients, such as salt, cut some cucumbers as vegetables, and filter the chili oil. With his strange production method and unique choking taste, the popularity of the live broadcast room is rising, which also makes Chen Guangye angry.

A room.

"Hey, Xiaochen, your anchor has updated again." The administrator called him: "Did you see it?"

Chen Guangye was also watching the live broadcast, but he didn't have the energy to say, "I saw it."

The administrator asked him, "Can this be mass-produced? Why don't you try to learn how to make it tomorrow? This human anchor has a limited purchase limit each time. As long as we can mass-produce it, we can definitely make another fortune!"

Chen Guang Ye looked at the screen and frowned: "Leader, did you notice that it's not that I can't learn to make it, it's that I don't have any peppers!"

The administrators were also stunned. They had always been used to taking advantage of others, so they subconsciously thought of imitating them, but they never expected to miss this opportunity.

Chen Guangye was actually a rather cowardly person, making money in an unscrupulous way, but he didn't want to get into trouble: "Brother, do you think this Jian Luo has any background? He can get things like this, he's not an ordinary person. Even a platform as big as ours doesn't have the resources, how could he, a human being, get it?"

The administrator also fell into deep thought. "That shouldn't be the case. If he really had some background, he should have spoken up when the potato chips were stolen. Why would he wait until today? Maybe this human has some tricks up his sleeve, but they're definitely not that powerful. So, once we have the peppers, the human planting base will definitely have mass-produced seeds. Contact them and we can grow them ourselves!"

Chen Guangye was a little worried: "But many people say that our potatoes have side effects. Will they come after us?"

The manager sneered, "Why are you looking for us? This was originally created by Jian Luo. It has nothing to do with us. If anyone really has objections, shouldn't they go to the original author? It's just the internet. We can just guide the public opinion. It's no big deal."

Uncle Chen Guang thought about it and it made sense. After all, the other party was just a human being. So what if they had some skills? They couldn't beat them!

In the live broadcast room, the red oil dough has reached the final step.

Jian Luo poured red oil on it, as if performing some grand ceremony. The aroma of the chili pepper blended with the dough. He stirred it with chopsticks, and the delicious taste was within reach. After finally finishing stirring, Jian Luo picked up the dough and put it into his mouth. The spicy taste on his lips was completely different from that of tofu. This dough was very chewy, and the aroma of the chili pepper blended better with the vegetables. It was really touching when it entered his lips and teeth.

Seeing Jian Luo's comfortable look, many viewers in the live broadcast room finally couldn't sit still anymore.

"I want to turn on the hologram!"

"Oh my god, what is this smell? It smells so good."

"Stop talking, even if I die outside today, I won't jump from here... Oh my god, it smells so good!"

Most people are conquered by the taste of red oil noodles.

Jian Luo smiled and said, "I have recorded the taste and it will be available for purchase later. Thank you all for your support!~"

After finishing a meal, it is basically time for Jian Luo to end the live broadcast.

When he turned off the live broadcast, he saw a lot of messages mentioning Chen Guangye's name in the layers of barrage. He frowned but said nothing.

"Luoluo, is the live broadcast over?"

Sukura's voice came from outside.

Jian Luo came back to his senses and responded, "Mom, I'm done with the live broadcast. I made some red oil noodles. Try them and have them as a midnight snack."

Su Liang came in, took the bowl, and told him: "Okay, go wash up and get some rest."

Jian Luo nodded: "I understand."

Just as he was about to go wash up, Su Liang hesitated and warned him, "Luoluo, you must stay away from Jiang Kang. You are pregnant now, and Mom is really scared..."

Jian Luo understood, and he tried to persuade Su Liang: "Okay, Mom, I know the seriousness of this matter. Don't worry, I have my head on this matter, and I will definitely not do anything rash."

Su Liang nodded and started to clean the kitchen. As long as Jian was at home, if there were some chores that he could do without doing, Su Liang would definitely do it himself.

Jian Luo sighed upon seeing this.

Su Liang has been uneasy because of Jiang Kang's matter, and even Jian Luo doesn't know what method to use to make her feel a little more at ease. In fact, he understands Su Liang's worries, but Jian Luo himself thinks it is not a big problem at all. It's nothing to have had a few relationships before getting married and having children.

What's more, he suspected that he was wearing it. Not to mention what relationship it had with Jiang Kang. If it was true, looking at the look on Jiang Kang's face when they met today, he really had to doubt the original owner's vision.

The other side.

Inside the palace, the imperial garden.

Lu Shifeng sat at the stone table and discussed things with the little emperor. Because there was an urgent matter, the little emperor had to rush back to the study, so the marshal strolled around the newly built garden by himself.

Suddenly, several female voices rang out:

"Did the one in your family really cheat on you?"

"Really, I finally understand. No matter how good you are to him, a wild flower is not as fragrant as a home-grown flower."

"How could this be? Could it be a mistake? I think he's usually a very honest and timid person."

Lu Shifeng frowned and stopped for some unknown reason.

Another maid sighed heavily and said, "I won't make a mistake. You know, there are usually three steps before someone cheats on you and makes you a cuckold.

"What steps?"

The young palace maid shared her experience: "First, he'll tell you he's busy working overtime, then he'll start to get annoyed with you and ask you to stop contacting him because he can't reply to you in time due to work. Then, a so-called colleague will appear around him, with whom he has a good relationship, but who inexplicably keeps contacting him, but obviously has ulterior motives. If you get jealous, it will seem like you're being unreasonable."

"Oh my god, how could this happen?"

"Yes, this isn't the most conclusive evidence, the most absolute." The maid said, "If he tells you later that he's working overtime and won't be coming back to sleep at night, that's basically it."

Lu Shifeng refused to listen and left. The Marshal thought it was nonsense. After all, it was impossible for him to encounter such a situation.

But thinking about it, Jian Luo went to Anleyuan today, and they really hadn't contacted each other all day. Thinking of this, Lu Shifeng sent a message to Jian Luo: "Is everything going well?"

The information terminal quickly lit up.

Jian Luo replied: "It's okay, my colleagues are all very nice to me."

Lu Shifeng's brows relaxed: "Did Xiaolong bother you?"

"No."

This time, Jian Luo was a little slow in replying.

Usually the chat would end at this time. When Lu Shifeng was still thinking about whether to continue talking, Jian Luo had already sent a message: "Okay, a colleague here wants to see me. I'll go check on him first. I won't chat anymore."

colleague.

For some reason, the Marshal thought of what the two palace maids said.

Lu Shifeng asked one more question: "You just went there, what can they ask you for?"

"I'm going to cultivate peppers. As an instructor, they must ask me about work matters." Jian Luo replied simply, "It's not like I don't know how to play."

Lu Shifeng felt a little relieved.

Although it felt like something was wrong, Jian Luo was still very well behaved. It was not at all what those people said. And wasn't the last point wrong?

Just as the Marshal was about to type, another message suddenly came in: "By the way, I have to tell you that I may have to work overtime tonight, so I won't be going back to sleep."
