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

Cheng Chumo smiled and said, "Young master, this is delicious. I'll go pick some for you and the princes to try."

"I'm going too!" Yuchi Baolin followed.

This persimmon tree is very big; you need to climb it to pick the persimmons.

The two men straightened their clothes, hugged the tree trunk with both hands, pushed off with their feet, and climbed up in a few quick and clean movements.

When Jiang Fan was a child, he often climbed trees with his friends, but he often ended up with bloody welts on his legs and stomach, and his skills were far inferior to those two.

"Those who have practiced really make a difference!" Jiang Fan said, looking at the two of them.

When the little princess saw Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin climb the tree, she clapped her hands excitedly, "Wow~ So awesome~"

Upon hearing the little princess praise him, Yuchi Baolin stood on a tree branch and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the little princess below.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness! Let me pick one for you to try first."

After Yuchi Baolin finished speaking, he began to look for ripe and good persimmons.

"The best-cooked ones have all been eaten by birds, it's infuriating."

While searching, Cheng Chumo responded to Yuchi Baolin, "That's right, once the hunting begins, I, Cheng, will hunt all these birds."

"Stop bragging. With your skills, if you could shoot down three birds, I'd become your apprentice."

Cheng Chumo pointed at Yuchi Baolin with his finger, "Erheizi, you said it yourself."

Two people were arguing in the tree.

Luo Tong looked up at the two of them from below and shouted, "Why are you two talking so much nonsense? The young master and the princes are still waiting."

There are many persimmons on the tree, but you have to pick them out.

"This is good!"

Yuchi Baolin reached out and picked a ripe persimmon, then called out to Luo Tong under the tree, "Here, this one's ripe and big."

"Alright, throw it down!" Luo Tong waved to Yuchi Baolin.

Yuchi Baolin gently tossed the persimmon down, and Luo Tong stepped forward and caught it.

Then, he swung his arm back and turned around, dissipating the force of the falling persimmon.

Despite his large size, Luo Tong is surprisingly agile and nimble.

Luo Tong walked over carrying persimmons. "Young master, take these first, I'll go get them."

Jiang Fan took the persimmon and found it to be perfectly ripe. It was soft inside, supported only by a single layer of skin, and felt tender and juicy to the touch.

The little princess had been craving them for a long time, and the ripe persimmons certainly looked very appetizing.

"Brother, I want seven, I want seven~"

Jiang Fan asked Luo Tong, "Can this be eaten directly?"

Luo Tong said, "You can eat this directly. Just peel off the skin and suck it out with your mouth."

It was inconvenient for Jiang Fan to hold the little princess, so he put her down first.

"Let Chengyang come down too! It's tiring to carry him all the time," Jiang Fan said to Li Lizhi.

"Okay, Brother Fan." Li Lizhi put Princess Chengyang down as well.

Jiang Fan squatted down and tore a small opening in the persimmon peel, revealing the tempting juice inside.

"Which of you two wants to try it first?"

Princess Chengyang pointed to the little princess, "Let Sizi try it first!"

"Sizi, have a taste first."

The little princess stretched her head over and took a sip, pouting her little lips.

Her little mouth was covered in fruit juice. "Hehe~ So sweet~"

The little princess took a sip of the persimmon, her face full of satisfaction.

"Second Sister~ You're so fast~ That's great~"

Jiang Fan held a persimmon to Princess Chengyang's lips, "Chengyang, try one!"

Princess Chengyang also took a bite, "Mmm, so sweet!"

"Guoguo Niyeqi~" The little princess pushed Jiang Fan's hand, urging him to eat.

"Okay! Brother, you should try some too." Jiang Fan peeled off some more of the persimmon skin, took a bite, and found it soft, sweet, and slightly grainy.

Jiang Fan nodded in approval, "It's really good, better than any persimmon I've ever had before."

Within minutes, Luo Tong came over carrying a large bag of persimmons in his robe.

"Young master, Your Highnesses, please enjoy your meal. There's plenty more here."

"This is enough for us to eat. Baolin, Chumo, come down quickly!" Jiang Fan shouted to the two people in the tree.

"Okay, young man!" The two jumped down from the tree.

The group found a relatively flat patch of grass, sat down, and sat together to eat persimmons.

The two little princesses had their faces covered in red persimmon juice from eating.

Jiang Fan took out tissues from his pocket and wiped the mouths of the two little ones.

Ever since the birth of his two little princesses, Jiang Fan has never been without tissues in his pocket.

"Sizi, do you want more?"

The little princess shook her head, "No more seven~ My tummy is full."

"Are you still going to eat in Chengyang?"

Princess Chengyang also shook her head, "I won't eat either."

Jiang Fan and the others each ate one or two persimmons, and then they didn't want to eat any more; it was getting a bit greasy.

"There's still a lot left here. Let's take it back to Grandpa and the others later," Li Lizhi said.

"Okay! Leave it here for now, we'll get it when we get back."

A group of people were chatting together when they suddenly heard two little princesses calling out, "Guoguo~ come quick~"

The two little princesses sounded very excited; it was unclear what they had discovered.

Jiang Fan quickly stood up and walked towards the little princess.

Cheng Chumo and the others followed behind.

"Sizi, Chengyang, what's wrong?" Jiang Fan asked, patting the grass off his bottom as he looked at the two little princesses.

The little princess pointed to a tree, "Brother, look at that!"

Jiang Fan looked in the direction the little princess was pointing; it was all densely packed tree branches.

"What? Sisi? I didn't see anything!"

"That duck~ It's tiny~" the little princess pointed again.

Princess Chengyang pointed it out to Jiang Fan, "That's the one, it can move."

"It can move?" Jiang Fan thought the two little princesses had found something delicious again. If it could move, it definitely wasn't food.

Luo Tong, who was behind, immediately saw what the two little princesses were talking about.

"Young man, it's a squirrel! The one perched on the branch."

Jiang Fan then recognized it as a small, grayish-brown squirrel with a large tail. "Isn't that a squirrel?"

"Squirrels? In our Tang Dynasty, we call them chestnut squirrels," Luo Tong said.

"It's a little fierce~" The little princess had met Jiang Fan at the zoo before.

However, I had forgotten the name, but now that I heard Jiang Fan say it, I immediately remembered it all.

"It's a little squirrel!" Princess Chengyang corrected the little princess.

"Mmm-hmm~" The little princess nodded.

"Young master, there are some over there too," Cheng Chumo pointed.

Jiang Fan looked closely and saw several small squirrels on the trees nearby.

"I saw another one." Princess Chengyang also spotted one. "Wow~ so many little fierce ducks~"

The little princess clapped her hands happily as she watched the squirrels running around in the trees.

"Hey bro~ What's that little rascal doing, duck~"

"They're definitely looking for food! Just like when we found jujubes and persimmons."

"Will they be able to find it?" Princess Chengyang asked.

"We've definitely found it. They're much better at finding food than we are."
