Then there's Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun. Li Shimin was changed to Li Er, and Empress Zhangsun was also given a pseudonym.

Finally, there's Li Sizi, with two little pigtails, her eyes crinkling into crescents as she smiles, revealing a row of tiny white teeth.

Then Jiang Fan took another closer look at the household registration booklet, which was from a remote mountainous area in northern China.

Wang Hao pointed to the household registration and said with a smile, "Since they didn't provide fingerprints, their fingerprints weren't recorded on the ID cards. However, it doesn't affect normal use. If there's time..."

You can go to the place where your household registration is located and apply for a new one directly.

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Fan nodded, then glanced at Si Zi and the others, and said with a smile:

"Sizi, Chengyang, Lizhi, your ID cards have arrived!"

Little Sizi was engrossed in watching when Grey Wolf chased Pleasant Goat with a chainsaw, and her little mouth made "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sounds to accompany the scene.

Only when Jiang Fan called her did she slowly raise her head.

He stared blankly at the colorful little card in Jiang Fan's hand.

"What's an ID card?" She tilted her head, her brows furrowing, then turned to Chengyang. "Second sister, do you know?"

Chengyang also looked up, glanced at the small card in Jiang Fan's hand, and shook his head: "I don't know either, Sizi."

"Oh." Little Sizi nodded, then lowered her head again to continue watching the cartoon.

Chengyang also lowered his head, and the two little guys huddled together again. On the screen, Grey Wolf was swatted away by Pleasant Goat using a trick.

Jiang Fan stood there, holding two ID cards, his mouth agape, his expression shifting from anticipation to embarrassment.

"Pfft—" Wang Hao burst out laughing, his shoulders shaking with laughter. "Hahaha, that's hilarious! They're too young to understand this stuff. You think they'd be interested in this kind of thing?"

Before he could finish speaking, the understanding Li Lizhi raised her hand: "Brother Fan, let me see!"

"good!"

Wang Hao's smile vanished; he'd made a fool of himself! Li Lizhi picked up her ID card and began to examine it.

Next, Jiang Fan began to verify the authenticity of the ID card. It was actually very simple; he just had Li Lizhi download and register a real-name authentication software with facial recognition on her phone. That was it.

Clearly, Wang Hao was reliable. Jiang Fan then transferred the remaining money to Wang Hao, and after Wang Hao politely declined, he gave him an additional 200,000 yuan as a reward for his help.

A short while later—

"Knock knock knock".

There were three knocks on the door of the private room, then it was gently pushed open a crack.

The waiter leaned in halfway, smiling, and asked, "Hello, may we serve the food now?"

Jiang Fan nodded: "Sure, sure, bring it in."

"Okay." The waiter pulled his head back, and the door was pushed open completely.

She pushed in a small stainless steel food cart, on which were several covered white porcelain plates. Steam rose from the edges of the lids, and the aroma instantly filled the entire private room.

Little Sizi's nose was faster than her eyes. She took a deep breath and immediately looked up from the tablet, her eyes shining like two little stars.

"The food's here!" she cheered, setting the tablet aside and picking up her chopsticks.

The waiter pushed in a small food cart and brought the dishes to the table one by one.

The first dish placed down was a plate of peanuts in aged vinegar, the deep brown vinegar coating the crispy fried peanuts.

It was sprinkled with a few sprigs of bright green cilantro; next came a plate of spicy stir-fried clams.

The clam shells were open, revealing the plump meat inside, and the red chili peppers and minced garlic were stir-fried until fragrant and steaming hot.

Jiang Fan placed two bottles of beer in front of himself and Wang Hao, and then took a three-can cola from the food cart.

He handed them to Xiao Sizi, Cheng Yang, and Li Lizhi: "Here, these are for you."

Little Sizi took the cola, holding the can in her little hands, and said with a smile, "Thank you, bro!"

Chengyang took it and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Jiang Fan."

"Thank you, Brother Fan!"

Jiang Fan looked around and then asked the waiter, "Do you have freshly squeezed juice? Bring them a pitcher."

The waiter nodded: "We have watermelon juice, orange juice, and corn juice. Which would you like?"

"Let's have corn juice, something sweeter," Jiang Fan said.

"Okay, coming right away." The waiter noted it down and turned to leave.

Little Sizi couldn't wait any longer and picked up her chopsticks, reaching for the plate of peanuts in vinegar. She picked up a peanut...

She popped it into her mouth, crunched it twice, wrinkled her face slightly, and then laughed: "It's sour! But it's really good!"

Chengyang also picked one up, chewed it slowly, and nodded: "It is a bit sour, but the taste is good."

Jiang Fan said with a smile, "Those are peanuts with vinegar, a snack to go with drinks. You should eat less, there will be plenty more dishes later."

Little Si nodded, but then reached over and picked up another one, chewing as he mumbled, "I only have seven ounces."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a waiter came in carrying a large tray.

Braised pork knuckle, baby crabs, and sweet and sour pork were served together, arranged in a large, colorful display, and the aroma was irresistible.

As soon as the braised pork knuckle was served, Xiao Sizi's eyes lit up.

Not only are they large, but the reddish-brown pork knuckles are also round and heavy, plump and full, coated with a thick, glossy red sauce, with the oil flowing along the rounded curves, making them look rich and tempting.

"Brother!" Little Sizi squirmed excitedly on the stool.

Her bottom felt like it had springs in it, and she couldn't sit still. Her little hands reached for the plate of braised pork knuckle with chopsticks, but couldn't reach it. Frustrated, she almost collapsed onto the table. "Brother, I want that! That one again!"

Jiang Fan smiled and put a large piece of meat into her bowl, then put two more pieces into Chengyang and Li Lizhi's bowls: "Eat slowly, be careful it's hot."

Little Sizi picked up a piece of braised pork knuckle, brought it to her nose and smelled it. Her little nose twitched, and her face was full of delight: "Wow, it smells so good..." She blew on it and carefully took a bite.

The pork skin is soft and chewy, the fatty meat melts in your mouth, and the lean meat is tender and juicy.

The little ox chewed twice, its eyes narrowed into slits, and its little face was full of happiness:

"Mmm—it's so good! Soft and chewy!"

Chengyang also took a bite, chewed slowly, and nodded: "Mmm, delicious, even more fragrant than the braised pork last time."

"Mmm, it's delicious." Li Lizhi nodded in agreement.

Jiang Fan picked up a piece for himself, nodding as he chewed.

Then, Xiao Sizi's gaze was drawn to the plate of golden-brown sweet and sour pork.

Slices of sweet and sour pork are arranged on a plate, fried until golden brown and crispy, and coated with a layer of clear sweet and sour sauce.

It was also decorated with orange carrot shreds and green cilantro leaves, making it look so appetizing.

"This shiny gold dish!" Little Sizi pointed at the plate of food, then turned to look at Chengyang, "Second Sister, this is what you ordered!"

Chengyang also looked at the plate of sweet and sour pork, his eyes shining and the corners of his mouth turning up.

Jiang Fan and the others each picked up a piece. Little Sizi took it, took a bite—"Crunch!"
