Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

The range hood was whirring loudly when Jiang Fan rinsed two large bowls of rice and put them into the rice cooker to cook.

After blanching the pork ribs, skim off the foam and impurities with a ladle, then take them out and rinse them clean.

The most crucial step in making sweet and sour pork ribs is caramelizing the sugar. How well the sugar is caramelized directly determines the taste of the dish.

Jiang Fan heated oil in a wok. When the oil reached 50% of its maximum temperature, he added the ribs and fried them until golden brown. He then removed them from the oil.

Leave a suitable amount of oil in the pot, add rock sugar, and stir gently with a spatula.

Once small, dense bubbles appear in the pot, add salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and other seasonings and stir-fry until the broth turns a deep red color.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan quickly stir-fried the ribs, allowing the sauce to coat each piece of rib evenly.

He also tossed the wok occasionally to ensure the ribs heated more evenly. After stir-frying for five minutes, the sauce gradually thickened.

"Finally done..."

He placed the prepared sweet and sour pork ribs into a plate and sprinkled them with white sesame seeds as a garnish.

A rich aroma wafted into the living room through the crack in the kitchen door.

"Second sister, it smells so good! It's cooked by the pot-potter!"

The little girl smelled the aroma and said in her childish voice.

"Mmm, it smells delicious..." Princess Chengyang echoed.

Little Sizi excitedly sat up from the sofa, then stuck out her little bottom.

She slid off the sofa, took short strides, and ran quickly towards the kitchen, only to stumble and crash heavily into the kitchen door, falling flat on her face...

"Hey duck~ buddy, come quick, little Xizi's fallen down!"

The little ox cried out.

Upon hearing the noise, Jiang Fan quickly opened the kitchen door, scooped Sizi into his arms, and comforted her, "Sizi, did you hurt yourself?..."

"Waaaaah~ Honey, it doesn't hurt. You're a little kid now, don't cry."

"Uh...you're crying, aren't you? Doesn't it hurt?"

Jiang Fan was both amused and exasperated. The little guy had teary eyes and looked pitiful, yet he still remembered that he was a big kid.

As soon as Jiang Fan finished speaking, Xiao Sizi quickly wiped away his tears and forced a smile that was both crying and laughing at Jiang Fan, which made him very happy.

The little dumpling princess is so much fun!

"Yeah, that's great. Now your brother believes that Sizi is a big kid."

"hey-hey!"

"I can smell the meat in the pot! Is the rice ready yet?"

"Brother is cooking one more dish, it'll be done soon. You and Chengyang watch TV for a bit, don't run around or you'll fall again. I'll call you when it's done."

"Okay!"

Jiang Fan carried the little girl back to the sofa, and then stir-fried a small green vegetable in the kitchen.

Meat and vegetarian combination.

"Sizi, Chengyang, come eat!"

"Okay~ Okay~"

Little Sizi is no longer in pain, and her soft, adorable little face is full of smiles again.

Jiang Fan turned around and led them to wash their hands, then brought the prepared sweet and sour pork ribs to the table.

This time, he made a very generous portion of sweet and sour pork ribs, so there was no worry about not having enough to eat.

Then he went to the kitchen and brought the vegetables to the table, and also served three bowls of fragrant rice. He then carried the little princess and Princess Chengyang to the soft stools one by one.

After Jiang Fan sat down, he placed a piece of reddish-brown spare rib into Chengyang's and the little princess's bowls.

"Sizi, Chengyang, try your brother's braised pork ribs first..."

"Okay~"

Xiao Sizi raised her eyebrows slightly and took a small bite of the rib.

The ribs were stewed until very tender, with a sweet and sour taste, and the meat was juicy and tender, not dry at all.

"Brother, this is so good! It's just as delicious as braised pork, big crab...!"

Little Sizi recited the names of the dishes in a childish voice, which stunned Jiang Fan. He really didn't expect Sizi to be so bad at math, but he remembered the delicious dishes very clearly.

As expected of a foodie ox.

Xiao Sizi approved of the sweet and sour taste of the pork ribs.

Seeing this, Princess Chengyang quickly picked up her chopsticks and took a bite.

The crispy on the outside and tender on the inside ribs danced on her taste buds, a perfect blend of sweet and sour, a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.

"Young master, what is this made of? It's so delicious! It's much better than what my grandfather's imperial chef makes."

Chengyang couldn't help but say.

"Ahem..." Jiang Fan was a little embarrassed by the praise. What kind of conditions are these now? What kind of conditions are these in the Tang Dynasty?

"This is sweet and sour pork ribs made with pork ribs..." Jiang Fan said with a smile.

"Awooo!"

Little Sizi munched on the ribs in his bowl with gusto.

Little Sizi would occasionally spit out bones and eat them with great relish, though she ate very little vegetables, which Jiang Fan insisted she eat.

after awhile.

"Honey, I'm full..."

The little ox spat out the bone from its mouth, lay leisurely on the soft stool, patted its bulging belly comfortably, and squinted its eyes slightly.

This meal was so satisfying...

She wanted to eat more, but her stomach was already full and she couldn't eat any more.

Although Princess Chengyang was older than Xiao Sizi, her appetite was less than half that of Xiao Sizi.

Moreover, he ate very slowly, unlike Xiao Sizi who stuffed rice and meat into her mouth with gusto.

Chengyang ate much more politely, but compared to when she was at the Datang Group, she ate much more, having seen so many bones.

After finishing her meal, she glanced at Jiang Fan sheepishly and said, "Young master, I'm full too..."

"Okay~ You guys go watch TV. It's too hot today. It'll cool down a bit this afternoon, then I'll take you out to play."

Jiang Fan said that the highest temperature today is about 38 or 39 degrees Celsius.

"Yay~ Yay~ We can go out and play again~" Little Sizi clapped her hands happily, her tone light and cheerful.

Princess Chengyang's eyes also shone with anticipation. Yesterday she went to the mall, saw the sea, and last night Little Sizi told her about some places she hadn't been to before.

She also wanted to go out for a stroll.

Everything here is so interesting. Jiang Fan tidied up the table and the dishes.

Feeling that it was hot today and Jiang Fan hadn't eaten watermelon in a long time, he ordered a delivery service to buy two watermelons.

About twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Fan was washing clothes in the bathroom and his phone was charging in the room, so he didn't hear it.

Princess Chengyang looked up at the noise and asked curiously, "Sizi, listen, someone's knocking on the door. Who's here...?"

"Hehe, someone must have delivered some goodies," Little Sizi said, quite experienced, because every time someone knocked on the door, they would deliver some goodies.

Like my brother mentioned before about delivering takeout, and also... that beer delivery guy.

Although Xiao Sizi didn't remember Wang Hao's name, she remembered the wine clearly, and also that he had promised to bring her some good wine.

So Xiao couldn't wait to get up and run straight to the door, but then frowned and realized that she couldn't reach the doorknob.

Seeing the large chair next to him, Little Sizi stretched out his chubby little hands and hugged it tightly.

"Duck! Duck!"

Sizi is only two and a half years old. Although she can eat a lot, she still has a bit of a babyish energy.

But she chose a big chair. The chair was so big that even with all her strength, she could lift it, but she couldn't move it at all: "Second sister, quickly help me!"

"They're here!"

The two little princesses struggled to carry the chair to the front door.

Whoosh whoosh!
