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

"No, my belly is big," Xiao Sizi said in a childish voice as soon as Jiang Fan finished speaking.

"Sizi, be good, and you'll have delicious drinks with your meal later." Jiang Fan pinched Sizi's chubby cheeks.

"Okay~"

Little Sizi nodded her head rapidly upon hearing this, then asked in her childish voice, "Brother, is it my adorable Qisen Yaoya?"

"I'm taking you guys out for Western food today," Jiang Fan said with a smile.

"Okay~"

We soon arrived at a Western restaurant. The restaurant was small, but it was exquisitely decorated.

Several black and white photographs hung on the wall, and a red and white checkered cloth was spread on the table.

A small candle sat on each table. The light was a warm yellow. The waiter led them to a long table by the window.

Jiang Fan glanced at the menu, then handed it to Li Lizhi: "Lizhi, take a look and see what you'd like to eat."

Li Lizhi took the menu, flipped through a couple of pages, and then closed it: "Brother Fan, you order, yours is delicious!"

Li Lizhi ate Western food, just like the last time she went to the amusement park.

Little Sizi reached for the menu: "Let me order! Brother, let me order!"

Li Lizhi handed her the menu: "Sizi, don't be silly, do you even recognize these?"

Xiao Sizi took the menu, flipped through two pages, and found that the menu items were listed in both English and Chinese.

She glanced at the first page, then turned to the second, her expression serious.

"Hmm, I don't know her." She shook her head confidently.

"Don't you recognize it? Then why are you ordering it?" Li Lizhi looked at her speechlessly.

Little Sizi flipped the menu to the back, laughing as she pointed to the pictures next to the dishes: "Hehehe, I can look at the pictures! They're all illustrated!"

She pointed to a picture of a steak, next to which were side dishes and sauce.

"I want this one, it looks really big and..."

Pointing to a picture of pasta on another page, he said, "This pasta is also quite good."

Pointing to a picture of a dessert, she said, "This cake has strawberries on it, I want seven strawberries."

Li Lizhi leaned over and glanced at the menu, saying, "These are all expensive dishes you ordered."

"How would you know which one tastes good? Let Brother Fan order."

Jiang Fan took the menu from her hand: "Or, I'll order."

Little Sizi didn't resist and obediently sat back down.

Jiang Fan flipped through a few pages of the menu and said to the waiter, "Give me four creamy steaks, all the premium quality."

He paused, then said, "I want it medium-rare."

Then he turned to Li Lizhi: "Lizhi, how ripe would you like it?"

"I still want it 90% cooked!" Li Lizhi said.

"Yes, you guys aren't used to eating it too raw. You can eat it a little raw once you get used to it."

Li Lizhi also agreed.

"Three portions, medium-well," Jiang Fan said to the waiter. "Also, one plate of spaghetti bolognese, one cream of mushroom soup, and one vegetable salad."

Two orders of fries, tiramisu and crème brûlée for dessert, and orange juice for drink.

After the waiter finished taking notes, he took the order slip away.

Little Sizi sat in the chair with her hands on her knees. After waiting for a while, she asked impatiently, "Brother, when is the steak coming?"

"It will take a while," Li Yang said.

Xiao Sizi leaned back in his chair and dangled his feet under the table a few times.

Not long after, a waiter came over with a large tray.

He placed the plates in front of each person one by one—four large white porcelain plates.

Inside was a thick steak, served with fries, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and a small pile of black pepper sauce.

The steak was seared to a golden brown, with grill marks, and steam rose from the plate, filling the air with its aroma.

Chengyang looked down at the steak in front of her, which was bigger than her face.

She poked the steak with her fork; the fork tip went in, then she pulled it out, and a little bit of juice oozed out.

Both little ones had eaten before, so without Jiang Fan's instruction, they held a fork in their left hand and a knife in their right, stabbing the steak with the fork and sawing the edge of the meat with the knife, eating with all their might.

Soon Chengyang was able to eat, but the silly little ox used too much force and failed to saw it open; the meat slipped apart.

She tried again, and the knife slid across the plate, making a "sizzle" sound.

Li Lizhi, unable to bear watching any longer, reached out and took the plate from in front of her:

"Let me cut it for you." Her movements were more skilled than Xiao Sizi's; the blade sliced ​​along the grain of the meat.

He quickly cut the steak into small pieces and put the plate back in front of Xiao Sizi.

Little Sizi forked a small piece of meat, dipped it in a little black pepper sauce, and put it in his mouth.

She chewed a few times, slowed down, and looked ahead, as if checking the taste in her mouth.

Then she swallowed it, forked another piece, this time without dipping it in sauce, and put it directly into her mouth. As she chewed, her eyes lit up.

"Great! Great!" Little Sizi exclaimed. "The meat is so tender, it's even better than Uncle Cheng's beef!"

"You're comparing steak to Uncle Cheng's beef?" Li Lizhi said.

"They're all cows, aren't they?" Little Sizi said.

Chengyang cut off a small piece of steak and put it in her mouth. She chewed slowly.

Then he swallowed it, cut off another small piece, dipped it in some sauce, and put it in his mouth, eating happily.

Li Lizhi cut off a piece of steak, dipped it in sauce, put it in her mouth, and chewed it as she said:

"Mmm, it's quite delicious. This tastes different from the one I had last time."

"Yes, the steak tastes different at each restaurant."

Jiang Fan continued, "Next time we can try it cooked to 80% done, with a little pink in the middle, it'll be even more tender."

"Next time, Li Lizhi should try it cooked to 80% done," Li Lizhi said.

After finishing her steak, Xiao Sizi also ate all the remaining side dishes on her plate.

Then he poked the empty plate with his fork, looked up at Jiang Fan, and said, "Brother, I want more."

Jiang Fan called over the waiter: "Another steak, medium-rare."

Xiao Sizi sat back down contentedly after Jiang Fan finished making his selections.

The pasta and fries were served one after another. Xiao Sizi picked up a piece of pasta with her chopsticks, slurped it into her mouth, and chewed it: "The noodles are smooth and have the taste of meat sauce. It's very good."

Chengyang also picked up a French fry, dipped it in ketchup, and ate it slowly.

She didn't talk while eating like Xiao Sizi, but the food left on her plate was visibly decreasing.

After finishing their dessert, Jiang Fan paid the bill and led a few people out of the Western restaurant.

The streetlights were all on, and the wind was cooler than in the evening, blowing on my face with a chill.

Then Jiang Fan took the little princesses for a stroll around the neighborhood to digest their food.

As a result, before the food had even been digested, I was already craving milk tea again.

Jiang Fan has his eye on her; if Xiao Sizi doesn't drink milk tea, she definitely won't be able to sleep.

There was no other way, but Jiang Fan only bought one cup. The three little princesses shared one cup so the little one could taste it.

Back at the villa, Little Sizi lay lazily on the sofa, muttering in her childish voice, "Tired little Sizi!"

"Heh! You actually know what tiredness is? Who didn't want to come back and wanted to keep playing?"
