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

Chapter 187 Potatoes and Corn as Betrothal Gifts?
"Changle, how do you feel? Are there any problems?"

Li Lizhi nodded, "It's great. I thought the young master just used any old photo, but I didn't expect it to be so detailed. No one should be able to imitate it."

"Yes, it's not just the pigments; the paper will also be special, making it difficult for the Tang Dynasty to imitate."

Li Lizhi nodded; Xiao Ran had considered many things.

"I think it's great, no problem."

"I'll ask His Majesty when I get back tonight. He thinks it's fine, so I'll arrange for it to be printed." Xiao Ran put his phone away.

"okay!"

Yu Shu and Xiang Cao went to the warehouse to move things, while Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi took the two little princesses to the supermarket.

Now they're practically inseparable.

The two little princesses spent more time with Xiao Ran than with Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.

"Brother, where did you go?" Xiao Ruoying came out as soon as they arrived at the supermarket.

"I had to go out on some errands. What's wrong?"

"It's alright, Sizi Fanyin," Xiao Ruoying squatted down and hugged the two little princesses.

Xiao Ran inquired about the supermarket's situation, "Wenya, I'll raise your price by another three thousand."

Xu Wenya stared intently at Xiao Ran, showing no surprise, but instead asked warily, "Boss, what do you want to do?"

"From now on, you'll be the store manager. You'll need to keep a close eye on things here. What else can I do?"

"This is alright, but I don't know what needs to be done. Boss, tell me first, and I'll agree if it's acceptable!" Xu Wenya didn't agree immediately.

"You won't need to work at the cashier anymore. We'll find a cashier later. You'll be in charge of the supermarket, mainly handling things like purchasing inventory. You've seen what I did before, and there wasn't anything wrong with it."

Xu Wenya nodded, it seemed like a good idea, mainly because the salary had increased significantly.

"Work for a month first and see how it goes; we'll raise your salary later."

Xu Wenya nodded. "I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, boss, you can find someone else."

"Okay! Put up a job posting for a cashier at the door later. You'll be in charge. You'll have to train them since they're new."

"Okay, boss, is there something you need?" Xu Wenya asked curiously, as she hadn't seen Xiao Ran much lately.

I spend every day with Li Lizhi and her sister.

"That's it!"

Xu Wenya didn't ask any more questions. Although Xiao Ran hadn't been paying much attention lately, he had given others a few raises, which made the supermarket staff very happy.

I'm fairly satisfied with Xiao Ran as my boss.

They are not harsh on their employees and are quite easy to talk to.

The two little princesses played on the rocking horse, while Xiao Ruoying and Li Lizhi chatted idly beside them.

"Changle, I noticed that Weiyang's things are gone from the room. Did she move them?" Xiao Ruoying sensed something was wrong as soon as she came over.

"Yes, we moved." Li Lizhi didn't say much more, mainly because it would be difficult to explain if she said too much.

Xiao Ran happened to walk over and overheard it.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ran asked.

"It's nothing, I was just asking." Xiao Ruoying didn't think much of it.

"My parents invested in my business, so I won't be coming to the supermarket as often anymore. I need to prepare for other things."

"Huh?" Xiao Ruoying exclaimed in surprise, "Investment? What are you going to do, brother?"

"These things aren't important. What's important is that someone is investing in me. I want to expand and strengthen my business, but it's not convenient to disclose details right now." Xiao Ran hadn't actually made up his mind yet.

Xiao Ran needs to find a way to expand his business, otherwise, aside from anything else, his family won't be able to explain it.

Future villas won't be able to rely on this supermarket.

Xiao Ruoying had no doubt that Li Lizhi's family was wealthy.

The demeanor and conversation of Li Lizhi, Princess Yuzhang, and the others clearly indicated that they were wealthy.

Xu Wenya, Liu Ziyue, and the others shared this view.

Xiao Ruoying didn't think much of what Xiao Ran said. She assumed it was because Xiao Ran had a good relationship with Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang.

Previously, Xiao Ran had been accompanying Empress Zhangsun at the hospital. People thought Xiao Ran was a good person, and the investment seemed reasonable.

"By the way, I won't be living here anymore. If you'd like, you can move in with me," Xiao Ran added.

"Sizi Fanyin isn't here either, so what am I supposed to do here?" Xiao Ruoying complained.

"Just so you know, don't tell Mom and Dad yet. Mom likes to gossip about it."

“I know, I know, I won’t say,” Xiao Ruoying said.

Xiao Ran offered a decent salary, and Xu Wenya quickly found a cashier.

She was Xu Wenya's classmate.

Xiao Ran didn't care whether they were classmates or not.

Don't let it affect your work; just make sure the person is reliable.

Xiao Ruoying didn't stay long; she still had to attend classes.

Now that a store manager has been assigned to the supermarket, Xiao Ran no longer needs to worry about anything.

Xiao Ran also explained the sourcing channels, and most of them can now be delivered to your door, so there's no need to worry about it.

You can also contact Xiao Ran if you have any questions.

The group drove to the warehouse, and from there went directly to Datang.

"Your Majesty, you're really taking it easy!" As they became more familiar, Xiao Ran joked.

"You little rascal, you can't stand seeing me like this!"

“I’m afraid of affecting your status as a great emperor for all time, I’m afraid of causing you to fall from your pedestal. Don’t indulge in pleasure and ruin the Tang Dynasty.”

Li Shimin was somewhat speechless. "I'm giving my eldest son a chance to learn, not completely ignoring him. I'm keeping an eye on him!"

Xiao Ran took out his phone. "These are banknotes I had designed. Your Majesty, please take a look."

"Hmm, this feels very similar to the one I was shown before," Li Shimin said, increasingly satisfied with the look. "It's perfect just like this."

The largest denomination is yourself, and that's enough.

Li Chengqian, Li Lizhi, and Princess Yuzhang were also included, and Li Shimin had no objection.

"Why are there so many Second Sister Sizi?" The ones with smaller denominations behind her are all little princesses.

"That's not the point." Xiao Ran put his phone away.

"You can spoil Sizi Erniang as much as you want!" Li Shimin picked up his teacup. "By the way, my dear nephew, you mentioned those high-yield grains before. Get me some next year."

Summer is almost over now, it's too late to plant, we'll have to wait until next year.

“That’s no problem. In comparison, we should be teaching people how to grow these crops now!” Xiao Ran said.

"That's true. Just tell me what you need me to do." Li Shimin hesitated. "I don't know what would be appropriate for you among these things."

"The potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes you mentioned before are priceless treasures in the Tang Dynasty. They are a great thing that benefits countless people. No reward is too much for you."

"What do you want? Tell me!"

"Huh?" Xiao Ran scratched his head and subconsciously glanced at Li Lizhi.

"Haha, that works too!"

???

Xiao Ran was a little confused, as he hadn't said anything.

"I heard from Lizhi and Liu Niang that there are age restrictions for marriage in your area, so it's not suitable now, but you can get engaged first, right?"

Upon hearing about the engagement, Li Lizhi looked up at Li Shimin.

"How about potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes as engagement gifts?"

Upon hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Lizhi blushed and asked, "Father, what are you saying?"
