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

Jiang Fan drove the three sisters to that Cantonese dim sum restaurant.

The antique decor, the steaming carts, and the aroma of food filling the air all made the three princesses, who were visiting for the first time, widen their eyes in wonder.

"Brother, there are so many people here, and it smells so good!" Little Si sniffed, her little hand unconsciously grabbing Jiang Fan's clothes.

Although Chengyang didn't speak, he stayed close to Xiao Sizi, curiously observing the waiters pushing carts filled with various exquisite pastries.

Li Lizhi, standing beside Jiang Fan, looked around curiously, just like Cheng Yang.

This was also Jiang Fan's first time experiencing Cantonese morning tea:

"Lizhi, Sizi, Chengyang, what would you like to eat? See for yourselves."

He pushed the pastry menu in front of the three princesses. Little Sizi stared at the picture, her eyes shining: "Brother, I want this one!" She pointed her little finger at the picture of the swan pastry and called out in a babyish voice.

Chengyang also leaned closer to take a look, pointing at the pineapple bun and egg tart: "Young master, I'd like to try this, and this too."

Li Lizhi took the order, and the dazzling array of pictures and names on it made her a little dizzy.

She looked at the menu for a while, then put it down a little embarrassed: "Brother Fan, they all look very good, but I don't know which one will suit my taste best... Why don't you order for me? Your choice will definitely be delicious."

Jiang Fan smiled and didn't press the matter. He took back the order form and added a few more classic and popular items: "Two baskets of shrimp dumplings, custard buns, double-skin milk pudding... that should be enough!"

Before long, the ordered items were brought out one after another. Each basket was steaming hot and exuded a delicious aroma.

Little Si couldn't wait to pick up a shrimp dumpling and stuff it into her mouth, panting as it was scalded: "Mmm! So fresh! Brother, Sister, Second Sister, you all have to try some!"

After finishing the shrimp dumplings, Xiao Sizi picked up a swan-shaped pastry, took a bite, and squinted her eyes in satisfaction: "Wow~ this is so good too!"

Chengyang, taking small bites of a pineapple bun, watched as the flaky crust crumbled and fell off, which she quickly caught with her hand.

"Mmm, this smells so good and tastes so sweet. Young man, what's this dessert called?"

"This is a pineapple bun," Jiang Fan said, placing some honeycomb tripe into two small dishes. "Try this honeycomb tripe; it's the specialty here."

"Hey bro, is that a pineapple bun?" Little Si asked, holding up the swan-shaped pastry in his hand, after overhearing their conversation.

"Haha, no, Sizi, look, they're both different shapes. The one you have is called a swan pastry!"

Hearing Xiao Sizi's sudden idea, Jiang Fan smiled and patted her little head.

"Chengyang, be careful when eating this custard bun, it will leak out. Here, Lizhi, try this shrimp dumpling, it has a thin skin and a lot of filling, with whole shrimp inside."

Jiang Fan used serving chopsticks to place a small dish in front of Li Lizhi.

After thanking her, Li Lizhi carefully picked up the translucent dumpling, from which pink shrimp could be vaguely seen, and took a small bite.

Instantly, the bouncy and smooth crystal skin and the sweet and chewy shrimp melted in her mouth. Her eyes lit up slightly, and she nodded in praise, "Indeed delicious."

Little Sizi had already skillfully picked up a custard bun and bit a small opening in it.

The golden, flowing salted egg yolk immediately gushed out, and she quickly leaned in to suck it up, squinting her eyes in satisfaction: "Mmm~ it's still this good!"

Next, the double-skin milk pudding was served, white and tender. Little Sizi scooped up a big spoonful and stuffed it into her mouth, the milky aroma making her happily shake her head.

Chengyang and Li Lizhi also really liked this. When they ate it, they could feel its softness and elasticity when they gently touched it with a spoon.

Upon placing it in your mouth, the rich milky aroma instantly melts on your tongue.

With its natural sweetness, it makes the little princesses unable to resist eating spoonful after spoonful.

After eating for a while, Xiao Sizi felt she was almost full. She looked at the delicious food on the table with some distress—there were still so many she hadn't tried yet, what should she do!

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Sizi secretly leaned close to Chengyang's ear and whispered, "Second Sister, there are too many good ones to finish eating."

How about we split it in half, that way we can have even more?

"Uh...you don't want to eat me, do you?" Cheng Yangyi said, looking at his rhinoceros.

"Is that alright, Second Sister?"

"Alright, Sizi." Chengyang nodded, broke the egg tart in half and put it on Sizi's plate. "Try this, it's even better than a lava bun."

"Thank you, Second Sister."

Little Sizi picked up half an egg tart and took a big bite, chewing as she exclaimed:

"Everything here feels so good, I want to live here forever."

Jiang Fan was both amused and exasperated by Xiao Sizi's exclamation, while Li Lizhi, standing beside him, couldn't help but pinch Xiao Sizi's chubby cheeks.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Little Sizi looked at Li Lizhi with an innocent expression.

The morning tea was very enjoyable. The three girls ate happily, occasionally whispering to each other about which dim sum was better, and he was also in a particularly good mood.

As time went by, the little ox's belly became visibly round again, and it let out a satisfied little burp.

After enjoying a sumptuous morning tea, Jiang Fan saw that it was still early and the weather was nice. Since the place was close to the sea, he suggested taking them for a walk on the nearby beach.

After enjoying a sumptuous morning tea, Jiang Fan saw that it was still early and the weather was nice. Since the place was close to the sea, he suggested taking them for a walk on the nearby beach.

After a short drive, the vast blue sea came into view.

Seeing the sea with her own eyes for the first time, Li Lizhi leaned on the railing of the observation deck, gazing at the boundless blue, and sighed softly, "This is the sea? It is so vast."

"Wow! The sea! I'm back!" Little Sizi cheered, eager to run down to the beach, but Chengyang gently pulled her back.

"Slow down, Sizi, the sand is soft, be careful not to fall," Chengyang gently reminded him.

As soon as she stepped onto the beach, Xiao Sizi broke free from her sister's hand and ran to the place she remembered. She looked around, her little face gradually changing from anticipation to confusion.

She ran back to Jiang Fan and grabbed his trouser leg: "Brother! Where's that huge palace we built last time? It's gone!"

"It collapsed?" Little Si blinked his big eyes, seemingly understanding but not quite, but quickly became excited again.

"Let's build another nest! A bigger one, one that the sea can't wash away! Second Sister, what do you say?"

"Okay," Chengyang nodded with a smile, then looked at Li Lizhi, "Sister, shall we help with the Sizidui?"

Looking at her sister's expectant eyes, Li Lizhi smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Little Si immediately perked up, like a little commander: "Big sister, help us move the sand! Second sister, come and pat it down, pat it down so it's sturdy! Big brother, pile it up high!"

The four of them quickly got to work on the beach. Little Sizi clumsily built a sand wall...

Chattering away, "Over here! There's more sand over here! Oh no, it's falling over! Come quick, buddy, hold it up!"
