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

Seeing the two little princesses looking sad, Jiang Fan quickly used his skills to comfort them:

"Hehehe, Sizi, the fish in Chengyang isn't dead, it's just asleep."

"Time for bed~" The little princess was a little incredulous.

"Yeah! Didn't you see it lying down? It's sleeping."

"Then why aren't they sleeping?" Princess Chengyang asked, pointing to the other small fish.

"Uh... they're already awake, this one just isn't."

"Oh!" The two little princesses were relieved.

"Let's hurry up and go eat, so as not to disturb Xiaoyu's rest."

"Hmm~"

"You two go eat first, I'm going to the restroom."

The two little princesses obediently ran off to eat, while Jiang Fan secretly scooped out the small fish and disposed of it.

"Jiang Fan, your aunt has been taking care of Grandpa for quite some time now. I wonder how your uncle is doing?"

Back at the dinner table, Empress Zhangsun sighed.

"Auntie wants to go back. The car should arrive this afternoon. I'll take you back then. I also want to see Uncle."

"Okay, thank you for your help!"

"No trouble at all, we're all family, why be so polite?"

"Brother, let me go check if the little fish has woken up yet~" Xiao Sizi was still worried about the little fish after finishing her meal.

The two little dumplings ran to the fish tank, panting, and looked around for a while. There were no more fish sleeping; they must have woken up.

There are dozens of small fish in the fish tank, and several of them look similar. If one is missing, you wouldn't be able to tell.

The two little ones finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is Little Fish awake yet?" Jiang Fan asked.

"Hmm~ I'm already awake~"

Empress Zhangsun, standing to the side, shook her head when she saw how easily her two daughters were fooled.

Li Yuan laughed heartily, and Li Lizhi couldn't help but chuckle.

~

It was 6 PM.

Lizheng Hall, the main entrance.

Seeing that his grandfather Li Yuan had not only returned unharmed, but also with a rosier complexion, it was as if he had taken some kind of magic elixir.

Li Shimin was even more amazed!

Upon returning to the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan barely exchanged a few words with Li Shimin before rushing to see his beloved concubine, Zhang Jieyu.

Just then, Zhang Anan approached, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Kitchen has delivered the food, shall we...?"

Hearing that it was time to eat, Li Shimin realized he was indeed quite hungry, and pulled Jiang Fan along.

"Go have dinner with your uncle-in-law. I've prepared a feast to welcome you!"

Jiang Fan naturally didn't stand on ceremony and followed Li Shimin into the Lizheng Hall.

At this moment, Xiao Sizi was already sitting at the dining table, but the food on the table...

It didn't really interest Xiao Sizi much, even though there was roasted lamb.

However, the taste was a bit lacking, mainly because Xiao Sizi's appetite has changed.

Having followed Jiang Fan for so long, I've long been used to eating refined grains. These coarse grains... are all my grandfather's food.

After Li Shimin took his seat, he pulled Jiang Fan to sit beside him, saying, "Jiang Fan, sit next to your uncle!"

"Brother, sit next to me, don't sit next to Grandpa, Grandpa will take the snacks from you!"

Xiao Sizi quickly spoke up to remind Jiang Fan, fearing that his pot would "fall" astray.

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately became displeased and said to Xiao Sizi:

"Sizi, how can you talk nonsense like that? Is your grandfather that kind of person?"

Little Si nodded: "Yes, yes, Grandpa is not only that kind of person, but he also does those kinds of things, (^__^) hehe..."

"Well, Sizi, you're going to rebel against the Heavenly Gang..."

"(⊙o⊙) Huh? What's this 'Reversed Heavenly Gang' system?"

Li Shimin: "..."

Jiang Fan was amused by the little ox, but he still said, "Oox, be good, sit down and eat properly. After you're full..."

"Brother, this doesn't smell good, it's not good. I want a fragrant one!"

"Easy, wait a minute, where are Lizhi's barbecue grill and barbecue seasoning?"

Jiang Fan asked, explaining that he had bought a barbecue grill before coming here so that he could barbecue here in the Tang Dynasty whenever he had free time.

Upon hearing this, Li Lizhi said a few words to the maidservant beside her.

Before long, two eunuchs came over carrying a barbecue grill.

However, this barbecue grill is not suitable for moving onto the dining table inside the main hall.

After all, the smoke from the charcoal fire is quite thick; we don't want the Rissei-den (Imperial Palace) to become a giant "smoke show" after we finish our barbecue.

So Jiang Fan had the eunuchs set up the barbecue grill directly in the square outside.

Then he called out to Li Shimin, "Uncle, bring out the mutton, I'll process it a bit more..."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin instantly understood. He had seen Jiang Fan's barbecue before, and the taste was unforgettable.

As for the barbecue grill, although it was the first time Li Shimin had seen it, he knew without a doubt what it was for.

So Li Shimin simply picked up the dining table and walked out, so fast that Xiao Sizi didn't even have time to react.

The table in front of him was gone, leaving him sitting alone on a stool, standing there all alone.

Li Shimin ran ahead carrying a table, while Zhang Anan chased after him carrying a stool.

To be honest, the two of them, the emperor and his minister, worked together quite well.

When Li Shimin put down the table, Zhang Anan had already set out the chairs.

Jiang Fan gave Li Shimin a thumbs up: "As expected of you, Uncle-in-law, amazing!"

"Hehehe, keep it low-key, keep it low-key. If you praise your uncle like that, he'll get arrogant. Come on, how do you want it processed?"

Jiang Fan pointed to the mutton on the table: "Pass me the mutton."

I'll brush it with some oil, sprinkle some cumin, and grill it for a bit; it'll taste delicious!

"No problem, take them all..."

Jiang Fan took the lamb leg from Li Shimin, skewered it with a steel skewer, and placed it on the charcoal stove to roast.

With his other hand, he held a brush, dipped it in oil, and began to brush it on repeatedly.

Little Sizi then came over and sniffed hard: "Brother, it smells so good, I want some..."

Seeing the little ox's drooling expression, Jiang Fan couldn't help but laugh and say, "Wait a minute, ox, we haven't added cumin yet..."

"Hey, where's the cumin?"

Jiang Fan pointed to the spice box next to him: "That's cumin in there."

You can sprinkle a handful of it on the lamb; it will taste even better and also remove the gamey smell!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sizi immediately rolled up her sleeves and plunged her little hand into the spice box.

Then he grabbed a handful of cumin powder: "Hey, how much, buddy?"

Jiang Fan looked at the handful of cumin powder clutched in Xiao Sizi's hand.

I almost choked: "Just a little bit is enough, don't sprinkle too much..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, even if we scatter a lot, the nest will still be able to hold seven..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Sizi raised her little hand, and instantly a layer of cumin powder was sprinkled on the lamb leg roasting on the charcoal stove.
