The Great Tang Dynasty's Trans-Dimensional Conference: Little Rhinoceros Arrives

"Your Majesty, are you satisfied?"

Lin Fan waited until Li Shimin had finished admiring the scene before leading Xiao Sizi out of the main hall.

"Haha, young brothers, you've finally returned." Li Shimin walked up to the two men with a face full of excitement and patted Lin Fan's shoulder heavily.

"Father!" Xiao Si shouted, then turned and ran towards Chang Le and his group in the courtyard.

"Ouch, Your Majesty, please be gentle." Lin Fan grimaced and twisted his arm.

He couldn't help but wonder if Li Shimin had used all his strength when he patted him just now.

This scene made Li Shimin burst into laughter again, and after laughing, he didn't forget to make a few sarcastic remarks.

"Young man, although you look tall and strong, you don't seem to be in very good health."

Although it was just a joke by Li Shimin, Lin Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes and didn't bother to refute it. He then raised his hand and shook the bag in his hand.

"I wonder how Your Majesty's preparations are going? I brought all the secret seasonings with me, and also prepared some other good things."

"Preparations are almost complete, just waiting for you. But I wonder what good things you've brought this time, young brother?" Li Shimin stood to the side, rubbing his hands together.

"Look, they're all on the table inside."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's gaze was immediately drawn to the hall. He then walked into the hall without turning his head, saying, "Alright, alright, young brother, you go ahead with your work. I'll go take a look first."

Lin Fan shook his head, ignoring Li Shimin, and carried the seasonings to Empress Zhangsun's side.

"Young master, you're back."

"Yes, Your Majesty, could you please have two people help me carry some things?"

"OK!"

Upon receiving Empress Zhangsun's instructions, two young eunuchs quickly brought out the oven from the palace.

Looking at the rather unassuming iron stove in front of them, Empress Zhangsun and the two little princesses curiously gathered around.

"Brother Lin Fan, is this what you said you needed for making barbecue? It's just a regular iron stove."

Chang Le squatted down and looked at it from left to right, but couldn't see anything special about it.

Lin Fan smiled and nodded, "That's right, it was originally just an ordinary iron furnace."

Upon hearing this, Chang Le lost interest, stood up and stood aside, then began to instruct the palace maids to prepare the ingredients.

"Young master, the ingredients are almost ready. Is there anything else you need?"

Although she didn't have to do it herself, Empress Zhangsun still felt that she should do something no matter what.

"Your Majesty, I still need charcoal."

Upon hearing this, Empress Zhangsun waved her hand to the side, and two young eunuchs came forward, each carrying a bag of charcoal.

After opening the bag, Lin Fan reached out and picked up a piece. It felt light in his hand, clearly indicating that it was charcoal.

He leaned closer and took a sniff; it emitted a unique, refreshing fragrance. He didn't ask what kind of wood it was.

After carefully cleaning the oven, the young eunuch quickly lit the fire and, under Lin Fan's guidance, placed the burning charcoal pieces into the oven one by one.

The pungent smoke I had imagined didn't appear; instead, the fragrant aroma of burning charcoal grew stronger.

Without paying any more attention to the oven, Lin Fan opened several seasonings and put them into the bowls and plates he had prepared beforehand.

Looking at the novel seasonings in front of her, Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but pick up one of the bowls and bring it to her nose to take a gentle sniff.

The next second, a peculiar and indescribable fragrance quickly entered her nose, and Empress Zhangsun immediately couldn't help but look up and ask.

"Young master, this tastes completely different from the seasonings you had Chang Le bring back before?"

Lin Fan nodded. "Yes, those were the ones we usually use for cooking, but this one is generally used for grilling."

"Hmm, the barbecue that the young master mentioned must taste very good." Empress Zhangsun looked knowing, and she was increasingly looking forward to the taste of the barbecue.

Lin Fan scratched his head awkwardly. "I can only say, I hope so."

Because the idea to barbecue was impromptu, none of the ingredients were marinated beforehand, so he didn't really know what the final taste would be like.

At this moment, everyone was waiting outside the hall, and no one noticed that Li Shimin was studying the beer and cola that Lin Fan had brought.

"What exactly is this thing? It feels cold to the touch, like an ice cube."

Li Shimin had already opened the beer box. Because it was frozen, he was extremely surprised as soon as he held the can.

"Huh, I didn't expect it to be a tin can? The workmanship is so exquisite!"

He looked at it from all angles, but Li Shimin still couldn't figure it out. He raised his hand and shook it, and he could clearly feel the liquid inside sloshing around.

"Qingdao...beer...? Beer? Why is the name of this beer so strange?" Li Shimin was puzzled as he looked at the large, colorful characters on the bottle.

After studying it for a while, Li Shimin finally discovered something even more peculiar about the bottle: the pull ring at the top.

After thinking for a moment, Li Shimin tentatively pried it open. "Hmm, it seems like there's a chance!"

By sheer chance, Li Shimin seemed to have discovered the trick, and subconsciously brought the bottle opening to his eyes.

Without thinking, he pressed down hard with his fingers, and with a "snap!" Li Shimin was overjoyed.

However, before he could even laugh, the next second there was another "bang!" as all the liquid in the bottle sprayed onto his face.

"Ah!" Li Shimin exclaimed instinctively, quickly wiping the beer off his face and then throwing the can aside.

"What the hell is this thing?"

As he spoke, Li Shimin turned around and looked at the main hall with some embarrassment. Fortunately, he was alone at the moment, and no one noticed his disheveled appearance.

Seeing this, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked down at his dragon robe, which was already soaked, he felt a sense of helplessness.

After thinking for a moment, Li Shimin quietly arrived at the entrance of the main hall. At this moment, everyone was surrounding Lin Fan, and the maids and eunuchs did not notice him.

Having made up his mind, he quickly walked towards the Taiji Hall as if nothing had happened, glancing back as he went, and soon disappeared into the night.

Lin Fan quietly approached the group of people who were diligently preparing ingredients, and what he saw shocked him.

He had asked Li Shimin beforehand if there were any iron skewers or similar items in the palace, indicating that they were for stringing together ingredients.

Li Shimin agreed without hesitation, but what Lin Fan saw at that moment was an iron skewer.

Why does it seem like those so-called iron skewers are about half the thickness of a child's finger?

Seeing this, Lin Fan shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, I'll just buy some online next time I have time."

Without much thought, Lin Fan came up behind a eunuch who was chopping vegetables.

Watching his sharp knife skills, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Your knife skills are quite impressive!"

The sudden sound from behind startled the young eunuch, who nearly dropped his finger.

He turned around and gave Lin Fan a "resentful" look, but he didn't dare to complain.

"Hehe, sorry, sorry, you can keep cutting." Lin Fan smiled awkwardly and immediately turned around and ran away.
