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

When we got back to the Lizheng Hall, it was almost 1:00 p.m. The sun was very hot, especially today, with temperatures reaching about 37 or 38 degrees Celsius.

"Sizi, Jiang Fan, hurry back and turn on the fan!" Li Shimin urged.

"Go ahead and blow it, Grandpa! We'll be there in a bit."

The little girl said in a childish voice.

"Alright, Grandpa will wait for you." Li Shimin couldn't wait to go and enjoy the fan.

"Hey, it's so hot! Let's go enjoy the air conditioning," Little Sizi said furtively as he watched his grandfather leave.

Jiang Fan was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. This clever little devil! Looking at the little guy's expectant eyes, he said, "Alright then! Let's go back and enjoy the air conditioning."

Upon hearing his brother's words, Xiao Sizi slammed on the gas pedal, made a U-turn, and headed straight for his own palace.

Then Li Shimin waited and waited, but Jiang Fan and his little cotton-padded jacket never appeared.

In this situation, they sent Zhang Anan out to search, but they couldn't even find a trace of the carriage.

After returning and reporting to Li Shimin, Li Shimin immediately felt like he had been tricked. No wonder his little darling didn't get off the carriage; it turned out she had planned it all along and abandoned him!

Even with a fan blowing, Li Shimin felt utterly cold inside.

It was a little after 2 p.m.

Back home, Jiang Fan and Xiao Sizi not only enjoyed the air conditioning but also ordered ice cream on a food delivery app.

The two, one big and one small, sat on the sofa, legs crossed, each holding an ice cream cone, licking it with great enthusiasm.

"Wow—it's so good! The ice cream is really good! Come on, have a taste of my ice cream!"

Jiang Fan turned his head and took a small bite of Xiao Sizi's ice cream: "Delicious, so delicious!"

"(^__^) Hehe... I think mine is good too, is yours good too? I'll try a bite..."

Jiang Fan had just brought the ice cream to Xiao Sizi when Xiao Sizi opened her little mouth with her own background music: "Awoo—"

She ate half of the ice cream in Jiang Fan's hand in one bite, a speed that shocked Jiang Fan.

"Guoguo's ice cream isn't good, it's not as good as mine, so Guoguo, don't bother, give it to me..."

Jiang Fan: "..."

Xiaosizi really went to great lengths for the ice cream; she even came up with something like this—it's amazing!

After finishing his ice cream, Jiang Fan lay on the sofa playing on his phone, while Xiao Rizi leaned against the window.

Watching the elevator construction, especially the construction cranes and excavators, a pair of big, bright eyes blinked, occasionally popping into strange thoughts, and she called out to Jiang Fan in a childish voice.

Jiang Fan gave a few casual words, and the two people, one big and one small, enjoyed the air conditioning in the room, feeling relaxed and comfortable.

It wasn't until 5 PM that Jiang Fan asked Xiao Sizi, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Hmm... Qi Youyou!"

"It's so hot today, isn't it a bit much to eat meat? How about... cold noodles?"

"What kind of cold noodles are they? Can you make them? Are they good?"

Faced with Xiao Sizi's three consecutive questions, Jiang Fan smiled and ruffled Xiao Sizi's bun, saying:

"Liangpi is a type of noodle made from wheat flour. After adding some seasonings and mixing it, it tastes cool, refreshing, and delicious!"

"Really? Then what are we waiting for? Let's go, bro, let's go get some cold noodles..."

Now it was Xiao Sizi's turn to take the initiative, and she started urging Jiang Fan to act.

Jiang Fan took out his phone and said to Xiao Sizi, "No rush, no rush, brother will just order takeout. We can just wait at home. Let me see how many we want to order..."

"Order one, two, three, five... so many portions! I also want my mother to have seven hundred million servings of liangpi (cold skin noodles)..."

When Jiang Fan heard that Xiao Sizi was going to take some cold noodles back for Empress Zhangsun, he immediately gave Xiao Sizi a big thumbs up.

Xiao Sizi's filial piety is evident to all, but she was referring to Empress Zhangsun, so it seems Li Shimin had nothing to do with it.

Then Jiang Fan took Xiao Sizi and drove directly to a well-known local shop that makes liangpi (cold skin noodles).

When we arrived, there weren't too many people yet; at the counter in front...

There are already more than 500 sheets of cold noodles, divided into five stacks.

They come in yellow and white, and they look glossy and elastic.

Little Sizi stared with her big, bright eyes at the cold noodles and asked, "Brother, this is... cold noodles?"

"Yes, haven't you tried it before?"

Xiao Sizi shook her head and said, "No, but this liangpi (cold skin noodles) is quite similar to lengtao (cold rice noodles)!"

"Cold noodles? Could it be...?"

Jiang Fan wasn't very clear about the origin and development of liangpi (cold skin noodles).

Since he wasn't a food expert, Jiang Fan was somewhat surprised when Xiao Sizi mentioned cold noodles.

But that doesn't matter. Since Sizi has never eaten cold noodles like this before, then we'll buy them, and we'll buy a lot of them.

Buy it back and let the rhinoceros eat it in front of Li Shimin. Once it's full, sell it back to Li Shimin. It's a sure-fire way to make a profit.

So Jiang Fan asked the owner of the liangpi (cold skin noodles) shop, "Boss, how much are the liangpi?"

"Two yuan each, how many do you want?"

"Can you give me a discount if I buy more?"

After Jiang Fan finished speaking, he blinked his big eyes at the shop owner, hoping the shop owner would give him this favor.

This is the first time I've ever bargained for a cold noodle dish. It would be embarrassing if I couldn't get a good price.

"That's too many... How many sheets do you want? If it's just a few dozen, then I'm sorry, I can't give you a discount."

Unless you order 100 or more at once, we can give you a 10% discount, making it 1.8 yuan per sheet, plus a free condiment!

Jiang Fan pointed directly at the five stacks of cold noodles on the counter and said, "Pack up all of these cold noodles, I'll take them all. If there's any more later, pack that up too!"

"Boss? Boss? Are you selling or not? Give me an answer!"

"Sell, sell, sell! Of course we'll sell! But do you know how many cold noodles we have left? You dare say you'll buy them all?"

"I don't care how many sheets you have in your workshop, I just need to buy them all, pack them up, settle the bill, and make sure you get all the seasonings!"

The shop owner confirmed that he had met a big customer today. No wonder he heard magpies chirping incessantly early this morning; it turned out that money was coming his way.

In the past, selling 500 copies a day was considered quite good.

But today, it's the first time I've encountered someone offering to buy the whole thing.

No more words, let's pack up and go.

Half an hour later, Jiang Fan's trunk was full of cold noodles.

In addition, there was a large bucket of sesame paste, a bag of garlic, a large bucket of vinegar, sesame oil...

After returning home, Jiang Fan didn't dare to delay, since the cold noodles couldn't be stored at high temperatures for a long time and had to be eaten as soon as possible.

So after returning home, without stopping, he took Xiao Sizi and Liangpi and went to Datang.
