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

"Wait a minute, duck, I'll go find Uncle Cheng myself, don't tell anyone!" Little Sizi said in his childish voice.

The servant: "..." Why do I have a bad feeling?

Xiao Sizi, pulling Li Chenggan and Chengyang along, rushed towards the kitchen first.

Speed ​​is key, and style is crucial – that's it.

Inside the kitchen, Cheng Yaojin was urging his eldest son to add more firewood to the stove: "Make the fire bigger, do you still want to eat beef?"

"Of course I want to eat it, but isn't the fire already big enough, Grandpa?"

Cheng Chumo said as he added firewood.

"Not big enough, the fire isn't big enough, keep adding more, pull the blower up really hard..."

These blowers are only found in blacksmith shops; ordinary households rarely own them, mainly because they are rarely used.

It's just cooking a meal, not forging iron, so there's no need to use a blower.

However, in Cheng Yaojin's kitchen, there was not only a blower, but more than one, all for the purpose of keeping the fire burning brightly.

Little Sizi crouched low and tiptoed to the kitchen window.

Turning back to Li Chengan, who was also bruised and battered, she whispered, "Look, is Uncle Cheng stewing beef?"

Li Chengan also lowered his voice and whispered, "Sizi, how did you know Uncle Cheng's family was stewing beef? Do you have clairvoyance or clairaudience?"

Little Sizi smiled and said, "No, it's not that. I just smelled the aroma of beef coming from Uncle Cheng's house."

If there's no stewed beef tripe, then we'll take some raw beef tripe fat to give to the potty, Mr. Qi...

Li Chengan couldn't find fault with what Xiao Sizi said.

That's really well-reasoned and measured. The "measure" naturally refers to the etiquette of sending beef to Brother Jiang.

"Sizi, when are we going in?" Chengyang asked in a cute, innocent voice.

"Once Uncle Cheng has cooked Youyou, I'll go in and take the big pot away..."

Li Chenggan: "..." Sizi, do you want to hear what you're saying?

Chengyang raised his hand to his forehead, as if to say, "I don't know you very well."

It's one thing to sneak in, but to expect to wait until the beef is cooked before taking it is another.

Taking it is one thing, but you're also thinking of taking the pot with you. Isn't that going too far?

However, despite their shock at the sight of Xiao Sizi, the two unconditionally supported and endorsed her.

Who can blame me when Sizi is my little sister? And besides, it's kind of exciting.

……

Just then, Cheng Yaojin lifted the pot lid, and a thick plume of steam shot up straight to the kitchen ceiling.

The unique aroma of beef then wafted out.

Little Sizi sniffed the air: "It smells so good, it must be cooked again. Brother, hurry up, it's your turn—"

"Wait... isn't this all rushed, Riko? No prelude, no preparation?"

Li Chengqian couldn't control himself; his voice rose a tiny bit.

This startled Cheng Yaojin, who was in the kitchen: "Who's outside? Come in and talk!"

Xiao Sizi used all his strength to push Li Chengan forward: "Go, brother—"

Li Chenggan: "..."

Li Chengqian was now at a loss. No wonder Sizi didn't just send him directly to his grandfather.

I even got to experience the thrill of high-speed travel, only to find out what awaited me here.

He asked himself to help Sizi "get" the beef, or rather, to "get" the pot for stewing the beef.

When Li Chengan stood up and appeared before Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Yaojin was slightly taken aback:

"Your Highness? When did you arrive? Why wasn't anyone informed? How are these servants doing their jobs? And you...?"

Li Chengan quickly said, "Uncle Cheng, you're too kind. I just arrived too."

"Yes, I just arrived. Uncle Cheng, what are you doing...?"

"Hehehe... Your Highness, you've finally come! Your Uncle Cheng just stewed a pot of beef."

Look, it's just cooked and ready to serve! Come on, have a taste!

"Uh (⊙o⊙)... Uncle Cheng, do we not need to try it? I want... I want..."

Cheng Yaojin grinned widely and chuckled, "Just say it! His Majesty isn't here."

"You just want to eat beef, right? Uncle Cheng understands, Uncle Cheng gets it, Uncle Cheng gets it, Uncle Cheng understands how you feel. Come here, come over here..."

While Cheng Yaojin was pulling Li Chengqian, Xiao Sizi and Chengyang crouched down and rushed into the kitchen.

Cheng Yaojin only felt two dark shadows flash before his eyes, and then... he witnessed a shocking scene.

Those two small figures actually rushed straight towards their big pot.

The one in the lead charged forward while shouting in a childish voice, "Brother, hurry up and do it—"

Hearing Xiao Sizi's urging, Li Chengan steeled himself and said to Cheng Yaojin:

"Uncle Cheng, I'm so sorry... I... I need to help Sizi... take your pot away!!!"

Cheng Yaojin: "!@#￥%……&×" Do you want to hear what you're saying?

Who goes to someone's house as a guest, eats meat, and then takes away their pot? Is that appropriate for you?

Cheng Chumo was startled by what he saw.

Aren't these Princess Chengyang and Princess Xiaosizi? If they get burned, I'd gladly die a thousand deaths!

He was quick-witted and agile, grabbing both Xiao Sizi and Princess Chengyang in one hand and lifting them up.

"Oh no! Barbie Q has been arrested!"

……

Lizheng Hall.

Soon, thanks to Cheng Chumo's swift and tactful reporting, Li Shimin and Jiang Fan learned the whole story.

The two of them couldn't help but twitch their lips several times, while Li Lizhi couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

"Ahem... It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. I sent them to visit Duke Lu; they probably just wanted something to eat!"

In order to protect his beloved daughter, Li Shimin had no choice but to bite the bullet and lie, sticking to a policy of not admitting anything.

"Uncle-in-law, why did you blurt out what I was thinking?"

Jiang Fan was both amused and exasperated.

Li Shimin: "~" True friends are hard to find, and true friends who would protect the prince together are even rarer. Li Shimin was deeply moved.

However, besides reporting, Cheng Chumo also invited Jiang Fan and Li Shimin to a meat feast.

However, the father and son's main purpose was, of course, to invite Jiang Fan, while His Majesty was just a side effect.

Soon the two of them, along with Li Lizhi, set off together, bringing along some gifts that Jiang Fan had brought with him.

Jiang Fan knew very well that with such a group of foodies, and Little Sizi, there probably wouldn't be much left of the pot of beef...

When they arrived at the Duke of Lu's mansion, Cheng Yaojin had already been waiting at the gate with the little Sizi in his arms for quite some time.

After Jiang Fan parked the car, he and Li Shimin got out of the car together.

Seeing Jiang Fan arrive with his grandfather, Xiao Sizi said to Cheng Yaojin, "Uncle Cheng, can we put Xizi down?"

"Of course, no problem! Slow down, don't fall!"

After giving his instructions, Cheng Yaojin gently placed the little ox on the ground.
