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

Chapter 330 Hot Pot in the Tang Dynasty!
The little princess swallowed hard, looking expectantly at the kindergarten entrance.

When Xiao Ran arrived, he saw a cute little princess rushing towards him.

"Little Nang-jun~" The little princess opened her arms and rushed into Xiao Ran's arms.

Xiao Ran bent down and patted the little princess on the back.

"Slow down, Sizi, don't fall."

The little princess looked up at Xiao Ran, "Little Nangjun~ Seven Hotpot~"

Xiao Ran was both amused and exasperated.

"Okay, let's take Sizi to eat hot pot."

Then, Xiao Ran looked at Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang and said, "How about Fanyin and Seventeen sit on the back of the bicycle later?"

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang nodded.

Xiao Ran carried the three little princesses onto the bicycle.

The little princess sat in the car seat, while the Chengyang little princess and the Gaoyang little princess sat in the back seat, and Xiao Ran pushed the car forward.

The ingredients he brought from home were packed in a supermarket trolley, and Xiao Ran brought the trolley along with them.

As for the pot, Xiao Ran brought a portable gas stove, so there was no need to worry about not having electricity.

"Old Mo, Old Qin, come and help."

Upon arriving at the supermarket, Xiao Ran shouted inside.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu came out and saw Xiao Ran pushing a cart.

"Young master, what's wrong?" Qin Huaiyu asked.

The two had only taken two steps when they saw the three little princesses on the bicycle.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu exchanged a glance and were about to bow.

Although the three princesses are still young, they certainly can't just ignore them.

Before the two of them could move, Xiao Ran said, "Quick, you two help me carry Fan Yin and Seventeen down."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu looked at Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang.

The two little princesses tilted their heads and looked at them.

The two were silent for a moment, but Cheng Chumo made the first move.
He stepped forward and took the little princess of Chengyang down with him.

Princess Chengyang didn't struggle at all; after landing, she even said "thank you."

Seeing this, Qin Huaiyu also picked up Princess Gaoyang.

"Let's go, let's have hot pot." After saying that, Xiao Ran took the lead and carried the little princess inside.

There was no place to eat hot pot inside the supermarket, so they set up a table not far from the eaves of the supermarket.

The things Xiao Ran brought had already been placed on plates, and there was a busy figure there.

"Uncle?" Xiao Ran asked, puzzled.

Cheng Yaojin turned around and grinned.

"Nephew, would you mind taking me along?"

Xiao Ran said, "Of course I don't mind."

The only thing that puzzled Xiao Ran was that since Cheng Yaojin already knew, why didn't Qin Qiong come?

Xiao Ran then looked at Qin Huaiyu.

Qin Huaiyu didn't understand the meaning in Xiao Ran's eyes. He was staring at the bubbling hot pot and asked, "Can we put that broth in now?"

Xiao Ran paused for a moment, then said, "Alright."

Because there were three little princesses present, Xiao Ran brought a divided pot, with two broths: one regular spicy beef tallow broth and the other tomato broth.

As soon as the hot pot broth is added to the pot, a spicy and sweet-and-sour aroma fills the air.

The little princess licked her lips, "Little Nang-jun~ It's red~"

Xiao Ran said, "Yes, there are tomatoes."

Soon, the pot boiled over completely.

The table is covered with a dazzling array of ingredients.

"Young master, what is this?" Cheng Yaojin asked, pointing to a white object.

Xiao Ran said, "That's yellow throat."

"Yellow throat?" This was a term they had never heard before.

Xiao Ran explained, "It's actually a major artery."

For Cheng Yaojin and his companions, the difference between having this explanation and not having it wasn't significant.

Xiao Ran couldn't very well dissect one for them on the spot, so he could only think that it would be better if the university opened as soon as possible.

"Oh, Grandpa, who cares? As long as it's edible, that's all that matters," Cheng Chumo said.

That's true, but it's not poisonous anyway.

"Little Nang-kun~ I want this pill~"

The little princess pointed at the "pissing beef balls" and said.

"it is good."

Besides the meatballs, Xiao Ran also picked out some other vegetables and meats and put them into the tomato soup, but not a lot, because the three little princesses had such small appetites.

The beef rolls and lamb rolls are the first to cook through.

Xiao Ran placed a slice of beef roll on the little princess's plate.

"It smells so good!" The little princess said with a satisfied expression.

She has both her favorite tomatoes and meat.

"Rhinoceros, try this and see which meat tastes better."

Xiao Ran picked up another slice of mutton roll for the little princess and said deliberately.

The little princess put the lamb roll in her mouth, chewed it several times before swallowing, and looked at Xiao Ran, "Sheep~"

Xiao Ran was somewhat surprised. To be honest, because these meat rolls were so thin, it wasn't easy to tell what kind of meat they were, unless they were particularly gamey.

"Yes, it is indeed mutton. Does Sizi like it?"

The little princess nodded, "Porridge~"

Xiao Ran teased her deliberately, "Does Si Zi prefer mutton or the beef we just had?"

The little princess tilted her head and thought for a moment, "I like them all~"

Xiao Ran smiled; he knew the little princess would answer like that.

"Little Nang-kun~ Is Maruko okay or not~"

The little princess stared at the beef balls floating and sinking in the pot.

Xiao Ran glanced at it, first placing it on an empty plate, then breaking the meatball in half, and said, "How about we eat this later? Let it cool down a bit."

The little princess looked longingly at the meatball that had been cut in half, but she knew it was too hot to eat yet, so she could only nod expectantly.

Xiao Ran also scooped up the pissing beef balls and set them aside to cool.

Normal beef balls can be split in half and cooled, but if these "pissing" beef balls are split, all the broth inside will leak out.

However, we can't eat meat right now, but we can still eat vegetables.

Xiao Ran picked up a bamboo shoot, blew on it, and held it to the little princess's lips.

"Sizi, how about eating this? This is delicious too."

Although it wasn't meat, the little princess accepted it without hesitation, opening her mouth and taking a bite.

The bamboo shoots are crisp and crunchy now, and after being cooked in a tomato broth, they have a sweet and sour tomato flavor that instantly won over the little princess's heart and stomach.

"Little Nang-kun~ This is so nice, Qi-ya~"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Eat more if you like it." The little princess liked all kinds of meat, but apart from tomatoes, she didn't show any particular preference for vegetables. Xiao Ran was worried that she would be picky and have an unbalanced diet.

Fortunately, the little princess does not show any signs of being picky about food at the moment.

Soon, the beef balls had cooled down, and the little princess took a big bite of one.

The beef balls were very bouncy and full of meaty flavor. Xiao Ran had naturally bought only the best meatballs, and the little princess squinted her eyes as she ate them.

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

After swallowing the dumpling in her mouth, the little princess already wanted to eat the next one.

When Xiao Ran was drying the beef balls, he poked a small hole in them so that the broth wouldn't leak out and the inside wouldn't get too hot.

"Shall we eat this meatball?" Xiao Ran picked up the "pissing beef meatball".

The little princess nodded.

Xiao Ran placed the meatballs in the little princess's bowl and instructed, "Eat these meatballs slowly, there's broth inside."

The little princess nodded, her eyes fixed on the dumpling.

Seeing the meatball in her bowl, the little princess picked up a spoon, put the meatball in her mouth, took a bite but couldn't get any inside. After taking another bite, she finally tasted the filling and broth inside.

The little princess's eyes lit up instantly.

"Good!" The little princess really liked this meatball, even more than the beef meatball from before.

"Little Nang-jun~ do you want this dumpling~" the little princess said.

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Okay, Si Zi, how about you finish eating this first?"

The little princess nodded and ate the meatballs one after another, not forgetting to eat a bite of rice along the way.

Xiao Ran picked up a bamboo shoot for her, and the little princess ate it all, bite by bite.

Xiao Ran naturally also took care of Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang.

"This hot pot is really delicious," Cheng Chumo said, rubbing his stomach.

Qin Huaiyu also said, "It looks no different from a hot pot, but the soup base is really novel, as are the ingredients; many of them I've never seen before."

Cheng Yaojin ate to his heart's content and looked at Xiao Ran.

"Nephew, next time there's something like this, you must call me! If that kid hadn't happened to be home and said he wasn't coming back for dinner, I wouldn't have known about this!"

Xiao Ran fell silent, then said, "Why did Cheng Yaojin suddenly come here?"

"Okay, Uncle, I'll definitely call you next time."

Cheng Yaojin nodded, quite satisfied.

Xiao Ran looked at Qin Huaiyu and asked in a low voice, "Where is your grandfather?"

Qin Huaiyu said, "Father is still in the palace discussing matters with His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Ran understood immediately; no wonder Qin Qiong hadn't come.

Even if Qin Qiong knew, he might not necessarily come over, but since he was discussing matters with Li Chengqian, lunch probably wouldn't be too bad.

This noon, the cafeteria served scrambled eggs, fried chicken legs, braised pork ribs, and sweet and sour pork slices. In addition to these, there were also a few vegetarian dishes and corn and pork rib soup.

Qin Qiong naturally got to eat these dishes as well. He sighed inwardly at the food in the palace, and thought to himself, "Cheng Yaojin didn't come. He might regret it when he finds out."

Similarly, Cheng Yaojin thought the same way after eating a hot pot meal.

After finishing the hotpot, Xiao Ran didn't need to do any of the cleanup. He took the three little princesses back to the kindergarten, just in time for the start of the afternoon nap.

Li Lizhi looked at the little princess and asked, "Is the hot pot delicious?"

The little princess nodded vigorously, "Okay!"

An expected answer.

Li Lizhi smiled and said, "Let's go. The rest of the children are already in bed. Si Zi Fan Yin and Shi Qi can also go to bed for a nap."

Before Li Lizhi spoke, the little princess did not react, but after hearing Li Lizhi's words, a wave of drowsiness washed over her.

The little princess yawned and rubbed her eyes.

"Time for bed~"

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang were also a little sleepy.

Their biological clocks have long been established, so they naturally feel sleepy when it's time for their afternoon nap.

"Okay, let's go to sleep." Li Lizhi led Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang inside, while Xiao Ran held the little princess in his arms.

Most of the children inside were still awake, and they all got up to see what was happening when they heard a noise.

He lay down again only after seeing that the little princess had returned.

Xiao Ran watched as the little princess lay down and said, "Sizi, go to sleep."

The little princess nodded and closed her eyes.

Afterwards, Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi went out together.

At first, I didn't notice, but the smell of the hot pot was so strong that soon, all the children lying near the three little princesses could smell it.

"It smells so good!" A child sniffed around.

"What's that smell?" several children whispered, trying to find the source of the smell.

These children have very good noses; they found the three little princesses in no time.

"It smells so good on Mingda and the others!" The children stood up slightly and looked at the three little princesses.

However, they were very sensible and did not make any loud noises, even speaking very softly, so as not to disturb the three little princesses' sleep.

Moreover, seeing the three little princesses sleeping, they also lay down and took a nap.

After waking up from their afternoon nap, a group of children sat in a row, and Li Lizhi distributed yogurt and fruit to them one by one.

Today's fruit is cherries, and they're quite large.

The little princess took a bite of the cherry; it was sweet.

"Good Seven~"

At this moment, Li Fu and Li Ming walked over with their yogurt and cherries.

Li Fu opened his mouth and asked, "Sizi, you all smell so good."

The little princess tilted her head, sniffed herself, and her eyes lit up.

Hot pot~

Li Fu and Li Ming exchanged a glance.

Princess Gaoyang, who was standing nearby, said, "We're going to have hot pot for lunch today."

Li Fu and Li Ming were asked by other children to come and ask, and now that they have the answer, they go back and tell the other children.

The other children looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What is hot pot?" The children looked blank, but when they got home they said they wanted to eat hot pot.

The last group of people found out where Cheng Yaojin was.

After all, many people saw them eating hot pot at the supermarket today, but no one went over to check on them.

Hot pot and warm pot are actually the same thing. The only difference is that hot pot has developed over the years, and the soup base and ingredients used are different, but there are no other differences.

Regarding the hot pot restaurant, Xiao Ran had mentioned to Li Shimin a long time ago that opening a hot pot restaurant was not suitable, so it was impossible for them to do so. However, there were other options.

"Little Nangjun~ I still want hot pot~" After the little princess went back, she still couldn't forget about hot pot, even though she had just eaten it at noon.

Xiao Ran said, "How about we have hot pot later?"

Hot pot is a bit oily, so it's okay to eat it once in a while, but if you eat it all the time, your little princess's stomach definitely won't be able to handle it, even if she only eats the tomato broth.

Seeing the little princess's somewhat disappointed look, Xiao Ran said, "There will be tomatoes, which you like, for dinner tonight."

The little princess instantly became happy.

"Red~"
