Chapter 6: Sharing Calcium Milk Biscuits!

Zhang Anan and Qin Qiong originally wanted to help, but Cheng Yaojin beat them to it.

"Uncle, please use it as you like, don't be shy."

Upon hearing Xiao Ran's permission, Cheng Yaojin picked up the net.

Zhang Anan suddenly realized that the fish basket hadn't been brought over, so he turned around and jogged back to the carriage.

When Zhang Anan returned with the fish basket, Li Shimin, carrying the fish, looked quite pleased with himself, saying, "Not bad."

"Sizi, isn't Father amazing?" Li Shimin looked at the little princess.

“Hey~ Little Nang is even more amazing~” the little princess said in a serious tone.

"Hahaha!" Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh as well.

The little princess stayed by the Samoyed's side, petting the dog every now and then.

Li Shimin did not put the fish in the fish basket, but put them in Xiao Ran's bucket.

This is the spot Xiao Ran chose, and the bait is also Xiao Ran's.

Li Shimin enjoyed the process of fishing and didn't care who got the fish.

After changing to Xiao Ran's bait, the fish started biting, and the landing net was getting a bit too busy.

Zhang Anan ran back and forth, busy as a bee.

Indeed, it's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone.

Xiao Ran's bucket was almost full of fish, mostly large ones, with the occasional smaller one being released.

"It's been a long time since I've had such a enjoyable fishing trip," Li Shimin said excitedly.

"Snap!" Li Shimin's fishing rod was broken in two.

"This fish... is way too big!" Li Shimin looked at the half-broken fishing rod in his hand.

"It's a bit of a pity, it seems to be bigger than the previous ones," Xiao Ran said with a smile.

Cheng Yaojin handed his fishing rod to Li Shimin, saying, "Second Brother, you can use mine. I'm a little tired, so I'll take a rest."

Li Shimin waved his hand, "That's not necessary, you can fish!"

Xiao Ran looked at the bait; there wasn't much left. If it were just for one person, it would last until the afternoon, but it would be used up quickly by four people.

I looked up at the sky; it was almost noon. I hadn't eaten breakfast and was a little hungry.

Xiao Ran picked up the fishing rod and walked to Li Shimin's side. "Uncle, you can use mine! I have something else to do."

"This isn't a good idea!" Li Shimin said, but he had already taken the fishing rod.

I'm so envious!

They say no, but their actions tell a different story.

The moment Li Shimin took the fishing rod, his fingertips touched the unique cold and hard texture of carbon fiber, and his pupils contracted slightly. This thing was much lighter than he had imagined, but when he held it in his palm, it seemed to have hidden tendons and bones. When his knuckles tapped the rod, it produced a clear and melodious sound like a chime.

The fine diamond pattern was neither like bamboo joints nor wood grain, but rather like countless tiny scales woven together. Recalling the smooth arc of Xiao Ran's cast earlier, I suddenly understood why Xiao Ran was so fearless when he encountered a big fish.

"Good stuff!" Li Shimin made no attempt to hide the burning desire in his eyes.

Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Zhang Anan also joined in.

Xiao Ran had been holding it earlier, but he was too embarrassed to get too close.

"Its texture is unique, far superior to bamboo," Li Shimin said, letting the three of them touch it.

Xiao Ran said with a smile, "My three uncles, we need to hurry."

"Young master, what does this mean?" Li Shimin asked Xiao Ran, who was washing his hands.

"At noon, the fish aren't biting, so I can't catch any fish. I'll have to wait until the afternoon!"

Li Shimin nodded, "Then we really need to hurry!"

Li Shimin baited his hook and, mimicking Xiao Ran, cast his line, exclaiming, "Hahaha, not bad!"

If Xiao Ran is willing to sell, Li Shimin wants to buy the fishing rod at a high price.

Xiao Ran opened another box, which was full of tableware and kitchen utensils, such as pots, pans and bowls for cooking.

There were also some ingredients. Xiao Ran liked to cook by the water when he was fishing.

These people in front of him were no ordinary people, and Xiao Ran wanted to make their acquaintance as a way to build goodwill.

Open the box, take out the folding table, and place it on a flat surface next to it.

It immediately attracted the attention of several people.

Xiao Ran has too many strange things about him.

Li Shimin and his two companions, who were fishing, also glanced at them subconsciously.

Xiao Ran saw that there was still half a pack of calcium milk biscuits in the box, which he would eat when he was hungry.

The packaging bag had modern information on it, but Xiao Ran didn't take it out.

Pick up a few cookies, put one in your mouth and eat it.

"Young lady, come here!" Xiao Ran called out.

"Little Nangjun~ What are you doing~" The little princess approached Xiao Ran with her dog.

Xiao Ran picked up a few cookies. "These are pretty good."

Xiao Ran ate first on purpose to show the others, so they wouldn't overthink it. He ate it himself to prove that there was no problem.

Moreover, Xiao Ran had no motive to harm them.

This was something the little princess had never seen before. Instead of taking it, she turned to Li Lizhi and called out, "Sister~"

The little princess asked Li Lizhi what she meant.

"Here's some food from the young master, Sizi, take it!" Li Shimin smiled.

He saw that Xiao Ran was eating by himself, so he was naturally relieved.

The little princess reached out her tiny hand to take the cookie, saying, "Thank you, little cookie!"

"So good!" Xiao Ran liked this little girl more and more as he looked at her.

The little princess took it and took a bite. With a "crunch," it broke in two, and milky-white crumbs fell softly onto her lotus-colored dress.

Her eyes widened like grapes, her cheeks puffed out as if she were holding an apricot, and suddenly she grabbed Li Lizhi's sleeve and shook it vigorously: "Wow~"

"Sister~ This is so crispy~ So delicious~"

Seeing the little princess's eyes light up, Li Lizhi knew it must be a good sign.

As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, she naturally had no shortage of pastries, but her younger sister had never had this reaction when eating pastries from the palace before.

"Wife, you should try some too." Xiao Ran picked up a few calcium milk biscuits and gave them to Li Lizhi.

"Thank you, young master!" Li Lizhi did not refuse, thinking that she would have to give Xiao Ran some other things later, and could not take Xiao Ran's things for free.

Li Lizhi gently picked up a biscuit with her fingertips and examined it closely in the sunlight—the creamy yellow biscuit was imprinted with fine ripples, and the edges were slightly charred. It was indeed much simpler than the elaborately carved cheese biscuits of the palace.

She raised the corners of her lips slightly, about to ask a question, when she saw Xiao Ran had already put the cookie in his mouth, so she gently bit off a corner as well.

The crisp sound explodes on the tongue, and the milky aroma mixed with a light sweetness instantly fills the mouth. It is more mellow than the goat milk filtered through three layers of gauze by Shangshiju, yet it also has a refreshing wheat aroma.

She lowered her eyes to hide the surprise in them; she had never tasted anything like this before.

“This pancake…” she looked up, her eyelashes casting dappled shadows beneath her eyes, “it melts in your mouth, as if milk has been congealed in the flour.”

Meanwhile, Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin, and the others, who were focused on fishing, also heard this and wanted to try it.

But I'm too embarrassed to say it.

"Okay, okay~" The little princess looked at the dog next to her while holding a cookie, "Doggy, are you okay, buddy~"

"Little Black won't eat! Little Lady can eat."

Li Lizhi had heard the dog's name before and thought she had misheard. Pointing at the snow-white Samoyed, she asked, "Young master, is the dog's name Xiao Hei?"

"Yes, it's Little Black!"

"Hahaha!" Li Shimin was amused. "Your naming method is quite unique!"

Xiao Ran stuffed the bag of calcium milk biscuits into the corner of the box, took out all the biscuits, and said, "Young lady, let the uncles have a taste too."
