The two of them traveled through the Tang Dynasty to open a supermarket, and the little Sizi was sup

Xiao Ran smiled and peeled open an orange-flavored fruit candy. The little princess immediately opened her mouth, waiting to be fed.

Xiao Ran gently put the candy into her mouth, and the little princess's cheek immediately bulged out into a small puff. She squinted her big eyes in satisfaction, and the sweet taste made her happily shake her little head.

"Okay~" she mumbled, her expression revealing her undisguised joy.

Soon, the school bell rang, and Xiao Ran patted the little princess's head: "Alright, Sizi, it's time to go to class. Listen carefully."

The little princess nodded vigorously, her voice sweet and soft, "I'm serious~"

The little princess did indeed listen very attentively for the next two classes, just as she had said, until the end of get out of class, which was lunchtime.

As soon as the school bell rang, the little princess ran towards the door.

"Little Nangjun~ I want to eat rice~" The little princess looked up, and her stomach made two rumbling sounds in a fitting manner.

"Let's go eat." Xiao Ran pulled the little princess towards the cafeteria.

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, the first thing you smell is a sour aroma.

When the little princess saw the food on the plate, she looked at the yellow pickled cabbage, picked it up with her chopsticks, and put it in her mouth.

Xiao Ran asked with a smile, "How is it? Is the pickled cabbage delicious?"

The little princess nodded, "Okay~ It smells so good~"

This noon, the cafeteria served pork stew with sauerkraut, stir-fried pork, and some other dishes, as well as a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup.

The little princess finished the whole bowl of rice with the vegetables, and only after that did she pick up the small bowl and start drinking the soup.

"Ah~ It's so delicious~" The little princess took a big gulp and exclaimed.

After she finished the whole bowl of soup, her tummy was bulging and she felt a little sleepy.

"Little Nangjun~ Time for bed~" The little princess snuggled against Xiao Ran's shoulder.

"Okay, let's take our Sizi to sleep now."

As he spoke, Xiao Ran took the little princess for a nap.

I woke up to find that it was time for math class in the afternoon.

The little princess quite likes math class and is always very enthusiastic in answering questions.

When get out of class ended, the little princess came out with Princess Yuzhang.

"Little Nangjun~" The little princess ran towards Xiao Ran and pounced on him.

Xiao Ran caught the little princess and said with a smile, "Let's go home."

"Time to go home~" the little princess said with a grin.

Back at the villa, I watched the three little princesses do their homework. Once they finished, the little princesses couldn't wait to go play in their own little world.

As soon as Xiao Ran arrived in the living room with the three little princesses, he saw Xiao Ruoying open the villa door and walk in, carrying several packages.

"What did you buy this time?" Xiao Ran asked.

Xiao Ruoying placed the package on the coffee table and said, "Don't even mention it. I don't know what's wrong with me lately, but I keep seeing all sorts of delicious food on social media, and I couldn't resist buying some."

Hearing Xiao Ruoying say it was delicious, the little princess was no longer in a hurry to play, but stood aside watching Xiao Ruoying unpack the package.

Xiao Ruoying first opened the smallest box, which contained a small square plastic box, about the size of a palm. It was hard to see what was inside, but it was clear that it contained something yellow.

"What did you buy?" Xiao Ran asked.

Xiao Ruoying opened the box directly and said, "This is what I saw on a live stream. They said it's honey with beeswax on it. It tastes sweet but not cloying, and you can eat it directly on its own. Once you chew it and it loses its flavor, you can spit out the beeswax."

Xiao Ran looked at it; there were two pieces in a small box, and they looked quite appetizing.

The little princess stared intently at the small box without blinking.

"It's honey duck~" The little princess swallowed hard.

Xiao Ruoying said, "Brother, get a spoon and let Sizi and the others try it. Oh, and you should try it yourself first to see if it's too sweet."

Xiao Ran nodded, went to the kitchen to get a spoon, and tasted a spoonful himself first.

The filling bursts with flavor upon entering the mouth; it's a bit sticky but not too sweet, which is why I felt comfortable giving it to my three little princesses.

Xiao Ran scooped a spoonful for each of the three little princesses. "Eat up, but remember not to swallow it all. Chew it a bit, and spit it out when you can't taste it anymore."

The three little princesses nodded quickly, swallowing repeatedly.

Xiao Ruoying also took a bite, smacked her lips, and said, "It's alright, not as delicious as I thought."

Then, Xiao Ruoying opened another box, which was even bigger. Inside was a huge box of wax bottle candies, in all sorts of shapes, some big and some small.

At this moment, the little princess had chewed the honey in her mouth until it had no taste, but she was still reluctant to spit it out. Seeing this, Xiao Ran said, "Sizi, if you don't spit it out now, you won't be able to eat any other delicious food later."

Xiao Ruoying shook the wax candy in her hand and said, "This is delicious, Sizi, do you want some?"

The little princess then spat out the beeswax from her mouth.

"What is this?" the little princess asked, looking at the wax bottle candy.

Xiao Ruoying took a small spoon-shaped wax bottle candy and handed it to the little princess.

"This is wax bottle candy. Like the honey from before, you can't swallow it. You have to spit it out when it's tasteless, understand?"

The little princess nodded, but still felt a little hesitant to eat the wax candy.

Xiao Ruoying picked one up herself, took a bite in front of the little princess, chewed it, and then spat it out.

"See, this is how you eat it."

The little princess took a careful bite, and the creamy filling instantly filled her mouth. Even the outer waxy shell was soft and easy to chew.

Xiao Ran casually picked up a small wax bottle candy shaped like a gold ingot, threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and then said, "This thing has a rather unique texture."

Xiao Ruoying nodded and said, "Brother, you don't know, when I watched the live stream, they ate these big chunks, taking a bite and chewing, it looked incredibly appetizing. There were also these, which didn't have sauce inside, but fruit juice, they looked delicious."

However, it only looks that way. After all, the beeswax on the outside of the wax bottle candy has no flavor, so it doesn't taste much different from eating chocolate or jam directly. It just has an extra layer of unique texture, as Xiao Ran said.

After tasting the wax bottle candy, Xiao Ruoying opened another box. This time, instead of a box, it contained several bags.

As soon as it was opened, Xiao Ruoying's dissatisfied voice came through: "Wow, this is such a scam!"

As she spoke, Xiao Ruoying emptied the contents of the box and said, "When I bought it, I saw in the live stream that each bag had so much stuff, but this bag only has so little, and the bag is too small. No way, bad review, I have to give it a bad review!"

The product was clearly not as advertised, and Xiao Ruoying was furious.

Li Lizhi, who was standing next to her, also said, "That's normal. Have you forgotten those live streams I watched before? Most of them were not as advertised."

Xiao Ran asked, "What did you buy?"

Before Xiao Ruoying could answer, Xiao Ran picked up a bag and looked at it.

"Pork cracklings?" Xiao Ruoying nodded. "Yes, I've been craving them ever since I saw them on the screen."

Xiao Ran simply opened a bag, picked one up, and tasted it.

It's a bit hard, but it's quite fragrant when chewed; it's just that there's too little in one bag.

"Little Nangjun~ I also want to eat Qiya~" The little princess looked at the bag in Xiao Ran's hand and swallowed.

Xiao Ran took out a smaller piece and handed it to the little princess.

"Be careful, it's hot... oh no, I mean be careful, it's hard. Bite slowly."

We're so used to saying "be careful, it's hot" that we've forgotten this thing is cold.

The little princess took a careful bite, and the aroma of pork cracklings instantly filled her taste buds. It was salty and delicious, and made a "crunching" sound when chewed, becoming more and more fragrant with each chew.

Chewing on the pork cracklings, the little princess's eyes widened, her little mouth chewing rapidly, her cheeks puffing out.

"This is so good!" The little princess finished a piece and was still a little unsatisfied.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran handed the bag directly to the little princess.

"Eat more if you like it."

The little princess nodded, quickly reached out and took another piece, not forgetting to share it with the Chengyang and Gaoyang princesses.

These pork cracklings were really fragrant. The little princess ate one piece after another, unable to stop. Her mouth was covered with shiny oil stains and crumbs, just like a little glutton.

However, there wasn't much in the bag, and it was eaten up quickly.

The little princess licked her fingers and looked at Xiao Ran with longing eyes.

"Little Nang-kun~ I still miss Qi Ya~"

Xiao Ran thought for a moment and said, "How about we make it ourselves? This pork crackling is too hard; it tastes better if we make it ourselves."

Speaking of this, Xiao Ran thought of the smell of pork cracklings and felt a little hungry.

Although it can get cloying if you eat too much, it's really delicious.

Xiao Ruoying swallowed hard. The reason she bought pork cracklings was because she was craving them, but who would have thought that what she bought was not what she expected.

Generally, pork cracklings are rendered from pork fat or rendered pork lard, but some are made from fatty meat. The one Xiao Ruoying bought was made from fatty meat. In other words, the pork crackling snacks sold in the market are all made from fatty meat, or pork belly.

In comparison, Xiao Ruoying still thinks that the flavor of oil-based products is much better.

The little princess's attention was entirely focused on Xiao Ran saying that his cooking was even better.

"Then let's become trash ducks right now~" The little princess looked eager.

Xiao Ran nodded, "Okay, let's do it now, but we need to buy lard first."

The little princess tilted her head, "Piggy fat~"

Xiao Ran smiled and confirmed, "Yes, it's the oil from pigs."

"Let's go, everyone!" The little princess couldn't wait any longer.

Xiao Ran led the little princess by the hand, followed by Xiao Ruoying and Li Lizhi, as well as the little princesses of Chengyang and Gaoyang. As for the little princess of Yuzhang, she didn't want to join in the fun and simply stayed at home.

Upon arriving at the fresh food supermarket, Xiao Ran went straight to the pork stall.

He pointed to a large, white, soft, net-like piece of lard on the cutting board and asked, "Boss, how much is this pork fat?"

The little princess tiptoed, trying hard to see what was on the cutting board. When she saw the huge piece of pork fat, white with a hint of pink, her little brows furrowed slightly.

“Little Nang Jun~ This isn’t trashy duck~” The little princess tugged at Xiao Ran’s sleeve.

Xiao Ran said with a smile, "Just like when we cook, this can only become pork cracklings after it's finished cooking."

The little princess understood instantly, "Wojido!"

The pork stall owner chuckled and said, "Your child is really clever."

Xiao Ran smiled and then asked for a large piece of pork fat.

Looking at the piece of pork fat, the little princess smelled it curiously, then immediately pinched her little nose and took several steps back.

"Little Nang-jun~ This smells awful~ It's stinky~" The little princess's disgust was clearly visible on her face.

Xiao Ran explained, "It will smell nice after we finish making it."

The little princess nodded with a hint of doubt. Although she didn't know how it could smell so good, the thought of stewed pork made her instantly forget her already lingering doubts. She tugged at Xiao Ran's sleeve and said, "Let's go home, everyone!"

Xiao Ran's attack failed, and he then led a group of people home.

Xiao Ran knew how to refine oil, but Yu Shu and Xiangcao were clearly better at it, so Xiao Ran handed over the pork fat to Yu Shu and Xiangcao.

The pork fat needs to be cut into pieces before it can be rendered into oil, and rendering oil also takes time.

While waiting, the little princess's heart was practically in the kitchen. Even with cartoons playing in front of her, her big eyes would frequently drift towards the kitchen.

Especially as time went on and the fragrance grew stronger, even Empress Zhangsun and Li Shimin upstairs could smell it.

Fortunately, Empress Zhangsun did not experience any pregnancy symptoms. At this moment, she was feeling a bit hungry from the aroma, so the two of them simply came downstairs as well.

"What are you doing?" Li Shimin asked.

Xiao Ran pointed to the kitchen, "Yu Shu and Xiang Cao are rendering oil. Your Majesty, would you like to stay and eat some pork cracklings with us?"

Li Shimin nodded, "It already smells wonderful."

Xiao Ran chuckled, "To be honest, I'm also a little tempted. The last time I had it was when I was a kid, and it was really delicious."

Since the little princess wanted to eat the pork cracklings, Yu Shu and Xiangcao deliberately dried them out, and then sprinkled them with salt when they were done cooking.

Seeing Yu Shu bring out a bowl of pork cracklings, the little princess couldn't contain herself any longer and quickly got off the sofa, running towards Yu Shu.

Yu Shu placed the pork cracklings on the dining table and then went back to rendering the oil.

Xiao Ran bought a lot of lard, and given the size of his pot, he definitely couldn't render it all in one batch.

The little princess's mouth was practically watering as she looked at the pork cracklings in the bowl.

"Little Nangjun~ you really smell nice now~" The little princess took a deep sniff and then swallowed.

Xiao Ran took a small bowl, picked up a small piece of food, blew on it, and then handed the bowl to the little princess.

"Eat slowly, Sizi, it's very hot," Xiao Ran said.

The little princess nodded, picked up a piece of pork crackling with her chopsticks, and blew on it. But after blowing on it only twice, she couldn't help but swallow.

Xiao Ruoying couldn't stop laughing at the little princess's expression. "Look, our little Sizi is practically drooling!" (End of Chapter)
