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

As he spoke, Xiao Ran opened a package.

"It smells so good!" The little princess was looking at a package that she couldn't tell what was inside when she suddenly smelled a fragrance and immediately walked towards Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran placed the oil paper package on the coffee table, then opened it, revealing a duck inside.

Of course, it wasn't a live duck, but a pressed duck.

Xiao Ran sniffed it, "It's not spoiled yet."

Xiao Ruoying looked at the salted duck and said, "This kind of salted duck can be stored for a long time, and it smells so good. I just don't know who bought it."

Xiao Ran said, "Perhaps it was bought by Wei Yang."

"What did I buy?"

As if on cue, Princess Yuzhang returned from outside and overheard Xiao Ran's words.

Xiao Ran turned around and looked at Princess Yuzhang.

"Ruoying went to pick up a package just now, and came back with a bunch of stuff. I don't know who bought them. Did you buy this salted duck?"

Princess Yuzhang walked over and looked at it, then shook her head. "No, I haven't bought anything recently."

"That's strange." Xiao Ran scratched his head.

"None of us bought it, so who bought it?"

As he spoke, Xiao Ran looked at Xiao Ruoying and asked, "Are you sure you didn't take the wrong one?"

Xiao Ruoying shook her head. "No, it has our home address written on it, and it also has your name on it."

Just then, Xiao Ran's phone rang.

After the video call connected, Li Yuan on the other end said with a smile, "Have you all received the things I ordered? I see they've already been signed for."

Xiao Ran asked in surprise, "Grandpa, so you bought those things?"

Li Yuan nodded, "Yes, I passed by this place, what's it called again? I saw a lot of interesting things here, so I bought some for you."

As he spoke, Li Yuan noticed the salted duck on the coffee table.

"How was the duck you all eating? I asked the owner, and he said it can last for about a week before I mailed it to you. Did it spoil?"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "No, we'll try it in a bit."

Li Yuan suddenly laughed and said, "I think we don't need to wait any longer. A little glutton has already tasted it for you."

Xiao Ran looked down and saw the little princess gnawing on a duck leg.

The duck was quite tough, and the little princess tried to gnaw on it for a long time but couldn't get much meat off; instead, her mouth was practically watering.

Xiao Ran was both amused and exasperated. "Sizi, is the salted duck delicious?"

The little princess, with a duck in her mouth, nodded, "Okay, duck!"

Xiao Ran crouched down and pointed his phone at the little princess. "Look, who is this?"

The little princess looked up and saw Li Yuan.

"Grandpa~"

The little princess held the phone with both hands.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Hey, Grandpa's here."

After exchanging a few words with the little princess, Li Yuan said, "I also bought some other little trinkets for Sizi, Fanyin, and Shiqi. You can open them and take a look. I'm going to eat now. Bye."

After saying that, Li Yuan hung up the phone immediately.

Xiao Ran shook his head, "That old man is really something."

Fortunately, I now know how the delivery service works.

Yu Shu and Xiang Cao went to cook, while Li Lizhi, Xiao Ruoying, and Xiao Ran took the three little princesses to unpack the packages.

The little princess still had the duck leg in her mouth, and Xiao Ran teased her, "Is this duck leg really that delicious?"

The little princess nodded repeatedly.

"Good seven ducks~"

As she spoke, the little princess slurped her saliva and took a big bite of the duck leg. This time, she finally bit off a large piece of meat and ate with great satisfaction.

Watching the little princess eat the duck leg made Xiao Ran hungry.

But the food isn't ready yet, let's unpack the package first.

So Xiao Ran picked up the package next to him. The package was not big. After opening it, he found a ceramic ornament inside.

The specific ornaments were rather abstract in appearance, but they had a strong ethnic flavor. Xiao Ran casually placed them on the entryway.

Among the remaining packages were clothes that Li Yuan had bought for his three princesses, which were still very ethnically distinctive, as well as various kinds of silver ornaments.

Looking at these things, Xiao Ruoying said, "The old man must have gone to Miaocheng."

Xiao Ran nodded, "I think so too. But these ornaments are really beautiful. After dinner, let Si Zi and the others try them on, and then take some pictures of the old man and send them over."

The little princess also loves these beautiful silver ornaments.

"Little Nang-kun~ This duck is so pretty~"

Xiao Ran pinched the little princess's cheek.

"I'll let you get dressed after we finish eating, okay?"

The little princess nodded, "Okay~"

The food was ready quickly.

Besides the salted duck, Li Yuan also bought cured meat and various other foods.

The cured pork needs to be scrubbed, so I didn't make it today; I just tore the salted duck apart.

Li Yuan bought several salted ducks, some of which were braised in soy sauce and two of which were spicy.

It just so happens that the little princess opened the one with a soy sauce flavor, which is why she was able to eat the duck leg. If it had been spicy, she probably would have been burning up from the spiciness.

Besides the braised duck with one leg missing, Yu Shu also took a spicy braised duck, which she also tore open to make it easier to eat.

Xiao Ran and Xiao Ruoying are both able to handle spicy food, so they chose to eat the spicy dishes.

Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang couldn't eat spicy food before, but after so much time, they can now eat a little bit. However, seeing that Xiao Ran and Xiao Ruoying were both suffering from the spiciness, they hesitated.

After a while, Li Lizhi swallowed and asked, "Young master, is this spicy duck very spicy?"

Xiao Ran nodded, "It's very spicy, it's on the extra spicy side."

It was supposed to be extra spicy, but Li Lizhi really couldn't tell how spicy it was. Seeing Xiao Ran and Xiao Ruoying eating so deliciously, she wanted to try it too.

Seeing her eagerness, Xiao Ran didn't stop her, but simply picked out a smaller piece of meat and gave it to Li Lizhi.

"Try eating just a little bit first, and see if you can eat it."

After saying that, Xiao Ran looked at Princess Yuzhang and said, "Weiyang, pick a smaller piece to try. If you can't finish it, then don't eat it."

Princess Yuzhang nodded and picked up a piece with the bone still attached.

Li Lizhi carefully put the small piece of meat into her mouth.

The piece of meat was really small, but Li Lizhi could taste the flavor, though she didn't find it very spicy, which immediately boosted her confidence.

"This salted duck doesn't seem very spicy," Li Lizhi said, picking up a slightly larger piece.

After only two bites, Li Lizhi couldn't take it anymore, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Hiss—I didn't feel it was very spicy just now, how come it's so spicy now?" Li Lizhi swallowed the saliva that came out from the spiciness.

Xiao Ran quickly poured a glass of milk and placed it next to Li Lizhi.

"Drinking some milk will make you feel better."

Li Lizhi put a mouthful of milk in her mouth, and the burning sensation did indeed subside considerably.

Xiao Ran then looked at Princess Yuzhang, "Where is Weiyang? Are you alright?"

Princess Yuzhang looked up, her entire face flushed red from the spiciness, and her forehead covered in sweat. Xiao Ran quickly poured Princess Yuzhang a glass of milk as well. Princess Yuzhang took a sip and let out a long sigh.

Xiao Ran said helplessly, "Why didn't you say it was spicy? If you really can't eat it, then don't eat it."

Princess Yuzhang swallowed the milk in her mouth and said, "Actually, it's not bad. Although it's spicy, it's very fragrant, much better than the soy sauce flavor."

Xiao Ran said, "You can't eat too much, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

Princess Yuzhang nodded, and Li Lizhi even gave up the spicy duck and ate the savory duck with soy sauce, just like the three little princesses.

The little princess looked at Xiao Ran and tugged at his sleeve.

"Little Nang-kun~ I want to be like this too~"

The little princess pointed to the spicy duck and said...

Xiao Ran shook his head, "This is too spicy, Si Zi. You can't eat it. Look, even your older sister doesn't eat that anymore."

The little princess blinked at Xiao Ran, "But I want seven ducks~ just a little bit, okay~"

If it's something that can't be eaten, Xiao Ran won't let the little princess eat it, so naturally she won't want to. But since it's something that can be eaten, and he doesn't want the little princess to eat it just because of her taste, she naturally won't give it up easily.

Xiao Ran knew this about the little princess, so he could only pick up a small piece and put it to her lips.

"Take a tiny bite, and spit it out immediately if it's too spicy, okay?"

The little princess nodded, took a small bite from Xiao Ran's hand, and chewed it.

Soon, the little princess paused in her chewing and looked up at Xiao Ran.

"Waaaah~ It hurts, duck~"

The little princess opened her mouth and kept inhaling. She didn't cry, but her eyes looked a little red.

Xiao Ran quickly fed the little princess a sip of milk and said, "I already said it's spicy, but you still want to eat it. Are you hurting your stomach from the spiciness?"

After drinking a few sips of milk, the little princess felt much better, but she seemed to avoid the spicy duck dish.

Xiao Ran deliberately asked, "Sizi, do you still want to eat this?"

The little princess looked at the spicy duck on Xiao Ran's chopsticks, remembered the feeling from earlier, swallowed hard, and quickly shook her head.

Xiao Ran laughed and said, "This time you've finally learned your lesson."

It's impossible for her to remember something forever. Before long, the little princess forgot the feeling of being burned by the spiciness. Seeing Xiao Ran eating with gusto, she opened her mouth again.

"Little Nang-kun~ could you give me just a little bit more of this?"

Xiao Ran asked, "What, you're not afraid of spicy food anymore?"

The little princess had long forgotten the feeling of being spicy; all she could see was this meaty dish.

"I'm not afraid of ducks~ They smell good~"

If it were just left there, the little princess probably wouldn't even think about eating it, but Xiao Ran was eating it so deliciously that it made everyone's mouths water just looking at it.

Xiao Ran picked up a small piece for the little princess and said, "This is the last little bit. You can't eat any more after this."

Each time Xiao Ran gave her a tiny piece, no bigger than a fingernail, but the little princess was easily satisfied; as long as she could eat, that was enough.

"Good~"

As she spoke, the little princess put the meat in her mouth, and then got burned by the spiciness again.

This time was much better than last time. The little princess held her cup, took a sip of milk, ate a couple of bites of rice to cool down the spiciness, and said, shaking her head, "Okay, okay, Qi Ya~"

The spicy flavor of the braised duck is much richer and more fragrant than the savory flavor.

Xiao Ran said, "Even if it tastes good, you can't eat it, otherwise you'll definitely feel uncomfortable."

The little princess was satisfied to have eaten a whole piece of meat she had never tasted before, and nodded in agreement.

"Good~"

Soon, the meal was finished. Xiao Ran tidied up the remaining braised duck, and had Yu Shu and Xiangcao tear off two more pieces of the braised duck and put them on a plate. Then he went to Datang.

Li Chengqian hadn't eaten yet and was still diligently reviewing memorials. Only when he saw Xiao Ran approaching did he put down the memorials in his hand.

"Young master? What brings you here?"

Xiao Ran put down the plate of braised duck in his hand.

"The old man bought some things and sent them over by express delivery. This salted duck is what he bought. I brought it here for you to try."

Upon hearing Xiao Ran's words, Li Chengqian realized that he was also hungry, so he simply ordered someone to bring him a meal.

Li Chengqian picked up a piece of roasted duck and put it in his mouth.

"Delicious, savory, crispy and crunchy."

Xiao Ran glanced at it; it was indeed salty and savory, but where did the crispiness come from?
Oh, so it was Li Chengqian who chewed the bone into pieces; it was indeed quite crunchy.

Xiao Ran took a piece and ate it himself.

"This savory sauce flavor is really good. There's also a spicy flavor, but I know you can't handle spicy food, so I didn't get it for you."

Although Li Chengqian was curious about the spicy flavor that Xiao Ran mentioned, just as Xiao Ran said, he really couldn't handle spicy food very well, as could be seen from that time when they ate hot pot. He also didn't want to challenge himself, so he decided to just eat something with a soy sauce flavor.

Seeing that Li Chengqian enjoyed the food, Xiao Ran told him to eat well and then returned to the villa.

"Little Bag~"

Xiao Ran had just returned when he was greeted by the little princess.

"What's wrong, Sizi?" Xiao Ran hugged the little princess.

The little princess pointed to the puzzle that hadn't been opened yet.

"Little Nang-kun~ What's this?"

Xiao Ran then remembered that he hadn't opened his jigsaw puzzle yet.

"That's a jigsaw puzzle."

The little princess's eyes lit up, "I want to do a jigsaw puzzle!"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Okay, shall I open it now?"

As he spoke, Xiao Ran led the little princess to open the package containing the puzzle, revealing the puzzle inside.

The entire jigsaw puzzle is two meters long and nearly one meter wide; it's unusually large.

The puzzle pieces were scattered in a box. Xiao Ran rummaged through them a couple of times but couldn't see any significant differences. Each piece looked pretty much the same, but there were subtle differences, such as shades or lighting.

Looking at these jigsaw puzzle pieces, Xiao Ran felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

Was he crazy? Why did he buy this jigsaw puzzle?! And the biggest one at that!
Xiao Ruoying watched with glee.

"Wow, bro, it has to be you! You always love challenging yourself with difficult things."

Xiao Ran stubbornly replied, "It's just a jigsaw puzzle, we can put it together slowly."

The little princess can't wait any longer.

"Little Nang Jun~ Let's hurry up and place our order~"

Xiao Ran twitched the corner of his mouth. "Alright, let's give it a shot now."

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang also came over and formed a circle around.

"Little Nang-kun~ This is spicy~"

The little princess handed a jigsaw puzzle to Xiao Ran.

Princess Gaoyang scratched her head. "Brother, these puzzle pieces don't seem to be that different."

At first, Xiao Ran was quite interested in piecing the puzzle together little by little. But after a while, when he discovered that one of the puzzle pieces was in the wrong place, Xiao Ran immediately gasped and almost fainted.

Xiao Ruoying passed by carrying a cup of hot milk.

"Tsk tsk tsk, how pathetic." (End of Chapter)
