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

"Hello, everyone!"

Upon hearing the word "eat," Sizi immediately scurried out her little head like a spinning top, staring intently at the chicken essence packet in Chang Le's hand.

"Haha, although this is edible, it can't be eaten directly. You can only add some during the cooking process!" Lin Fan quickly explained to Xiao Sizi.

"Okay! Alright!"

When the little ox heard that it couldn't be eaten directly, it immediately lost most of its interest, but its big eyes still stared at it intently.

Chang Le seemed to sense some of Xiao Si Zi's thoughts and subconsciously pulled her into her arms.

"Brother Lin Fan, is this thing really that miraculous?"

Princess Chang Le, despite being a princess, had hardly ever been to the Imperial Kitchen since childhood. As for methods to make food more delicious, she only knew about salt, sugar, and pepper, and knew very little about anything else!

"Of course, this is just a common seasoning. Look, I have many other kinds!"

As Lin Fan spoke, he pointed to a cabinet on the side, which was filled with various seasonings, all of which Chang Le had never seen before!

"My God, there are so many! Can I take a look?"

Chang Le was also eager to see how the seasonings here differed from those of the Tang Dynasty.

"Hey, feel free to look around!" Lin Fan stepped aside to make room for Chang Le to walk inside.

Seeing this, Xiao Sizi followed Chang Le in, but she wasn't tall enough to see anything, so Lin Fan picked her up.

Looking at the various unfamiliar seasonings in front of her, Chang Le picked up a bottle of vinegar, examined it, and then smelled the mouth of the bottle, immediately sensing a sour smell permeating the air.

"This is aged vinegar, right?"

"Yes!"

"Sister, let me smell you!"

Little Sizi, not wanting to be outdone, wanted to try it too, so she stretched out her little hand and waved it in the air! Seeing this, Chang Le quickly brought the bottle opening to Little Sizi's face!

"Ugh, it smells sour, and it doesn't smell good!"

Little Sizi shook his head in disgust and quickly covered his nose!

Chang Le chuckled and put the bottle back in its place. She then picked up a half-bag of white sugar from the side, brought it to her nose and smelled it, but couldn't smell anything. She then looked at Lin Fan with a puzzled expression.

"This is white sugar! The Tang Dynasty should have it, right?" Lin Fan looked at Chang Le's puzzled eyes and wondered if they had never eaten sugar before.

"White sugar? Brother Lin Fan means this thing is sugar?"

Chang Le looked incredulous. Although sugarcane existed in the Tang Dynasty, it was scarce and mostly made of rock sugar, which was not only low in purity but also very expensive!

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Chang Le's tone and expression left Lin Fan completely bewildered. As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, a mere bag of white sugar shouldn't have shocked her so much, right?

"It's alright, it's just that I've never seen such pure white sugar before!"

"Sugar? How much is it worth?"

Upon hearing that it was candy, Xiao Sizi immediately associated it with delicious food.

"Well, I'll give it a try!"

Lin Fan gestured for Chang Le to bring out a bowl, then poured some sugar into the bowl, and the two sisters each scooped some out with spoons.

"Wow, it's so sweet! I want more!"

Little Sizi tasted the sweetness and couldn't wait to scoop up another half spoonful!

"Yes, it's really sweet!"

Chang Le was rather reserved, taking only a small bite before putting down her spoon. Xiao Si Zi wanted a third spoonful, but Lin Fan immediately stopped her.

"This is too sweet, you can't eat too much, or your teeth will fall out!"

"Ah, no, no, that nest isn't safe!"

When Xiao Sizi heard Lin Fan say that eating too much would cause his teeth to fall out, he immediately put down the spoon in his hand!

Chang Le looked around and found that in addition to the seasonings, there were many red boxes containing various sauces, which Lin Fan explained to them one by one.

"By the way, Brother Lin Fan, do you have any salt here?"

"Salt?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan pointed to a box on the cabinet.

"That's it inside. You can open it and take a look!"

Following Lin Fan's pointing direction, Chang Le saw a box, took it down, opened it, and immediately showed an incredulous expression!

"Why is this salt so pure white, without a single impurity?"

I've also seen the salt used in the palace, which is not only particularly large in size, but also mostly yellow in color and has a somewhat bitter taste.

"This should be a processing issue. Although I've never seen salt from the Tang Dynasty, our salt is basically all like this!"

Upon hearing Lin Fan say this, Chang Le quickly dipped her finger in salt and put it in her mouth. The next second, her eyes were filled with shock!

"Sure enough, not only are they different in appearance, but they also taste completely different; besides being salty, they don't have any other flavor at all!"

Although Lin Fan didn't know the exact difference, he could imagine it just by looking at Chang Le's expression at that moment.

"I want it all!"

Seeing her older sister's shocked expression, Xiao Sizi quickly said she wanted to try it too.

"This is very salty, isn't Little Sizi afraid?"

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"

Seeing this, Lin Fan shook his head. Although he felt a little helpless, he still picked up the spoon, dipped a little bit, and fed it to the little ox's mouth.

As soon as the salt entered his mouth, Little Si frowned and then couldn't help stick out his tongue.

Haha, seeing this slightly comical yet adorable expression, Lin Fan and Chang Le couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"snort!"

When Xiao Sizi saw that she was being mocked, she crossed her arms and turned her head to the side with a displeased expression.

"I already told you it's very salty, but you wouldn't listen!"

Seeing that Xiao Sizi was pouting and not saying anything, Lin Fan stopped teasing her and carried her out of the kitchen.

"Brother Lin Fan, I have a request. I wonder if you can grant it?"

"What?"

Seeing Chang Le's hesitant expression, Lin Fan immediately asked.

"Besides the chicken bouillon you mentioned, I wonder if you... could I take some other seasonings back with me?"

She lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly as she spoke. Actually, besides chicken essence, Chang Le wanted to bring some white salt back for her mother and father to taste.

"I thought it was something serious! Of course, these things are very cheap around here!"

Lin Fan picked up a small cardboard box from the side and went back to the kitchen, stuffing all the unopened seasonings into it. Of course, he didn't skimp on the salt either, and he also packed two unopened packets of salt into the box.

Chang Le was stunned when he saw the box of seasonings in front of him, especially the two large bags of salt on top.

"This...this is way too much! We don't need this much! And this kind of white salt probably isn't cheap, is it?"

Lin Fan chuckled upon hearing this: "Haha, it's really not expensive. This salt only costs one yuan a bag here. The food I bought for Sizi before could probably buy several thousand bags of this salt!"

"What?"

Chang Le never expected that such fine white salt would be so cheap, which she found hard to believe.

"Brother Lin Fan, are you sure you're not lying to me?"

"Really, this thing is only worth a few coins in the Tang Dynasty!"

"How much? That's so cheap?"

Chang Le's eyes widened. She had thought Lin Fan was just trying to comfort her by saying it was cheap, but she hadn't expected it to be true. In the Tang Dynasty, even ordinary coarse salt cost several coins! She believed that even if it cost tens or hundreds of coins, there would be many people willing to buy this quality!

"What about the other seasonings? There's pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, and chicken bouillon in here?"

"These aren't expensive either. The most expensive ones here would probably only cost a few dozen yuan per kilogram!"

"How much is several tens of yuan?"

"Hmm, it should be around a few dozen coins, right?"

Lin Fan himself wasn't entirely sure how much the current currency could be exchanged for with the copper coins of the Tang Dynasty, so he could only make a rough estimate, but he figured it shouldn't be too different!

Chang Le was stunned upon hearing this. What could a few dozen coins buy in the Tang Dynasty? She was increasingly unable to understand this world!
