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

"Mmm, mmm, I'll go get the knife..."

Li Shimin: "What? Take a knife? Sizi, you... you're too young to handle a knife. Grandpa, just tell Grandpa how to cut it!"

"No way, I'm afraid Grandpa will sneak away and steal it from me!"

Seeing this, Li Shimin had no choice but to give Zhang Anan a wink.

After Zhang Anan understood, he immediately turned around and went to the Imperial Kitchen, grabbed a kitchen knife, and rushed back.

After handing it over to Li Shimin, Li Shimin went to Xiao Sizi:

"Sizi, how about this? Grandpa will provide the cleaver, and you can provide the cold noodles. Let's team up and eat cold noodles together, okay?"

Just as Xiao Sizi was about to nod in agreement, he suddenly realized what she meant and quickly shook his head:

"No, no, Grandpa, go play with the knife yourself! I have a knife!"

After speaking, Xiao Sizi took off running outside and pulled out the Tang Hengdao from the waist of the Jinwu Guard on duty.

Then came the bizarre scene: Xiao Sizi dragged a Tang sword taller than himself and ran wildly through the Lizheng Hall.

When Li Shimin saw this scene, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Sizi is really going all out to get his gold coins.

Jiang Fan peeled off the first sheet of cold noodles from the top of a stack of cold noodles.

Then he folded it up and placed it on the cutting board: "Come on, Sizi."

Cut it into strips, just like noodles!

"Mmm, mmm, Nikon, my god..."

After saying that, Xiao Sizi picked up Tang Hengdao with both hands, mustered all his strength, and lifted it high...

"Ouch...it's too heavy, I can't lift it anymore..."

Seeing this, Li Shimin suppressed a laugh and quickly reached out to support the little girl's hand.

Then, grasping Xiao Sizi's hand, he swiftly cut the cold noodles on the cutting board into strips.

At this moment, Jiang Fan also finished making the seasonings, and then took out a stainless steel iron basin.

Put the first sheet of cold skin noodles that Xiao Sizi and Li Shimin had cut together into a bowl.

Then I added all the seasonings, such as sesame paste, garlic juice, sesame oil, vinegar, etc.

Once the cold noodles were ready, Li Shimin couldn't wait to take his first bite.

After all, this was cold noodles that I made with my little darling.

Whether it tastes good or not is another matter, but the significance of this dish is far more worth looking forward to than the cold noodles themselves.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Sizi diligently handed Li Shimin chopsticks.

And blinking her large, bright eyes a few times, she said:

"Grandpa, this is a liangpi (cold skin noodles) from the Xizi brand, two gold cakes per serving. Please pay in cash; we don't accept credit!"

Li Shimin, who had just taken the chopsticks, was about to praise his little darling for her filial piety.

Suddenly, I felt like my throat was blocked.

Speechless, and feeling a sharp, piercing pain in my heart.

But the cold noodles in front of me seemed to be mocking me, saying that a poor person like me doesn't deserve to eat.

Left with no other choice, Li Shimin beckoned to Zhang Anan:

"Ananda, quickly go and fetch two... six gold ingots for Sizi. I want to eat Sizi's cold noodles, three servings..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sizi immediately thought of Li Shimin, his own father.

He gave a thumbs-up: "Thank you so much for your support, Grandpa! If you like seven, then add seven more, and if that's not enough, there's more..."

Li Shimin thought about it and decided against it; he could eat three servings of liangpi (cold skin noodles).

This is already the maximum I can afford; it's just too expensive. Even the wealthy are running out of money.

The moment Li Shimin took his first bite of the cold noodles, his expression lit up.

This liangpi (cold skin noodles) was totally worth the money! It's delicious, refreshing, and chewy. I've never had such delicious liangpi before.

Little Sizi watched his grandfather eat like this and was overjoyed.

So he pulled Jiang Fan aside and said, "Brother, hurry up, cut the cold noodles."

Three portions of gold cakes are definitely not enough for Grandpa. Today we need to earn lots and lots of gold cakes for Grandpa…”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan's lips twitched involuntarily. "As expected of you, Little Rhinoceros."

The abacus beads hit your grandpa right in the face, but your grandpa couldn't say anything. Instead, he looked like he was enjoying it. It was unbelievable.

Just five minutes later, three empty bowls appeared before Li Shimin's eyes.

It was very clean inside; I licked it clean, not a single drop of sesame sauce was left.

Even a husky would have to admit defeat and say, "This person's licking skills are superior to mine."

Just as Li Shimin was about to put down his chopsticks, Xiao Sizi immediately brought over a freshly prepared bowl of cold noodles:

"Grandpa, you must not be full yet, so I made you another portion, so you'll be full now..."

Li Shimin: "..."

Then, she silently turned back to look at Zhang Anan and asked in a low voice, "Anan, are there any more gold coins?"

Zhang Anan shook his head: "No more. I only brought six gold ingots. Or... shall I go get some more?"

Li Shimin hesitated. The cold noodles were indeed expensive, but they were also really delicious.

Just as he was hesitating, Li Chenggan arrived.

Upon approaching, he first bowed to Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.

Then he turned to the little ox and said, "Ox, what are you doing?"

"Hey bro, selling liangpi (cold skin noodles) here? Want some? One liangpi and a bowlful, all set!"

Little Sizi seemed to have found the joy in making money, and said in a childish voice.

"Liangpi (cold skin noodles)? Delicious! Brother, you happen to have some gold cakes with you, then..."

Before Li Chengan could finish speaking, Li Shimin snatched the bag containing the gold ingots from Li Chengan's hand.

"Brilliant! You've come all this way, but why bring all these worldly possessions for your grandfather? Let me see how much you have here..."

As he spoke, Li Shimin had already untied the cloth bag containing the gold ingots.

I stared wide-eyed inside and saw, wow, there were quite a few, a full six gold ingots.

Now Li Shimin felt more confident and took out two pieces, handing them to Xiao Sizi:

"Sizi, Grandpa will take this serving of cold noodles you brought. Here's a gold coin for you..."

Li Chenggan: "!@#￥%……&*" Grandpa, are you being polite?

These are my gold coins. You're not even going to pretend anymore, you're just going to steal them, are you?

However, Li Shimin completely ignored Li Chenggan's protesting gaze; the protest was ineffective.

Now that things had come to this, Li Chengan realized that if he continued like this...

I'm afraid even the last four gold ingots will be snatched away by my own grandfather.

He immediately gave all the gold cakes to Xiao Sizi, leaving not a single one, and sent them out along with the bag containing the gold cakes.

With six gold coins in hand, Si Zi beamed with joy, his lips curving upwards in an uncontrollable smile.

Jiang Fan also quickly brought over the freshly made cold noodles and handed them to Li Chengqian:

"Eat up, eat up, don't be shy, you paid for it. Want some chili?"

Li Chengan thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
