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

Chapter 216 Preparing for Camping Outside the City!

Xiao Ran hadn't been there and didn't know, but since Li Lizhi said so, it should be fine.

"Then prepare your things tomorrow and head over in the afternoon. It'll get a bit hot around noon." It's still hot this time of year; I can't stand it in the middle of the day.

"Alright, I'll talk to the others tomorrow and have them go over this afternoon!"

So, the issue of using banknotes from money shops to buy supermarket items can only be left to develop over time.

Don't rush it.

After the meal, several palace maids cleared the table, while others prepared their own dumplings and glutinous rice balls in the kitchen.

The three little princesses also need to feed the Samoyed dog food.

"Grandpa, would you like to go for a walk?" Xiao Ran offered.

"Let's skip it today. You have things to do, so get some rest. You don't need to go out every day," Li Yuan said with a smile.

"it is good!"

Since Li Yuan had already said that, no one else could say anything more.

No one mentioned it, and the three little princesses forgot about it and started to get sleepy.

"Little Nangjun~ Time for bed~" The little princess tugged at Xiao Ran.

"Okay, let's go to sleep!"

Li Lizhi came over and helped lead the three little princesses to the second floor.

Xiao Ran doesn't need to do anything to wash up or get up now; the three little princesses can wash up by themselves, and Xiao Ran can just watch over them.

It's just a habit; I like having Xiao Ran around.

Li Lizhi also went to Xiao Ran's room on the second floor.

The three little ones, who were about the same age, stood in a row and brushed their teeth diligently.

Xiao Ran smiled as he looked at her. Li Lizhi stood next to Xiao Ran, and somehow the two of them were now standing hand in hand.

Seeing that the three princesses had finished washing up, Li Lizhi let go of their hands. "You're all washed up. Go change into your pajamas and go to sleep. Your clothes are ready."

"Hmmmm~"

The three little princesses returned to their bedroom and saw three clean and adorable sets of pajamas laid out on the bed.

Xiao Ran didn't go in; Li Lizhi changed the little princess's clothes.

The bed is quite large, and since the three little princesses are small, it doesn't take up much space.

After the three little princesses had fallen asleep, Xiao Ran went in to check on them.

It would be best if Xiao Ran didn't go in and take a look.

Xiao Ran pulled the blanket up a bit. "Go to sleep early!"

"Good~"

Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi then left the room, but Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun did not return.

Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi sat down in the living room; they needed to prepare for tomorrow's events.

The two of them took the opportunity to discuss the situation.

Li Lizhi briefly explained the situation by the river to Xiao Ran, who needed to prepare many things in advance.

“Young master, when the supermarket opened, these uncles all gave gifts. Shouldn’t you give something back this time?” Li Lizhi said proactively.

"I've got it. I'll prepare gifts for my uncles tomorrow." They won't be expensive, but they'll be special and useful in the Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Ran thought he would like it.

Li Lizhi was unaware of this and had no idea what to prepare.

Although Li Lizhi really wanted to help, she could only do so leisurely.

The two chatted for a while, then got up and went upstairs to the second floor.

Li Lizhi stood at the door of Xiao Ran's room, showing no intention of leaving or speaking, just looking at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran opened his arms, and Li Lizhi's lips curled up slightly. She was very happy, and the two hugged each other gently.

Goodnight, Chang Le!

Goodnight, young man!

After breakfast, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun returned to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin went to the Taiji Hall immediately.

He told his officials about the afternoon's camping trip, and that not only his trusted confidants but also high-ranking officials were welcome to go. Li Shimin's intention was that everyone should take the opportunity to sample the high-yield grains.

Hearing that, I'll definitely try to squeeze in as much time as possible.

Li Shimin also arranged for Zhang Anan to publicize the affairs of the money shop, not in the name of the imperial court or Li Shimin, but in the name of the money shop and the supermarket.

Tell others that the two shops are one entity.

As usual, there was a long queue outside the supermarket early in the morning, and many people were resistant to the notice.

I find it troublesome.

The money changers didn't understand paper money or why they were doing it.

This is the thought of most ordinary people.

Despite their dissatisfaction, many people still went to exchange their banknotes for paper money.

There's no other reason than that supermarkets can make a profit by selling their products.

Although the supermarkets couldn't even meet the needs of Chang'an City, many of their products still flowed out of the city, where they were sold at several times the price and became very popular elsewhere.

In this situation, there is absolutely no concern about affecting the supermarket's business.

Good products that are monopolized will never go unsold.

Princess Yuzhang originally thought that once Li Lizhi and Xiao Ran's engagement was over, she would have time to go to the temple, but it seems she still can't get away.

Princess Yuzhang also needs to lend a hand with today's matter.

"Brother, are there enough corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes?" Princess Yuzhang looked around. "Grandpa and Uncle have quite a lot of appetites."

Princess Yuzhang gave Xiao Ran a reminder.

"Okay, then prepare some more."

Li Lizhi nodded, "We should indeed prepare more. If we can't finish these things, we can give them to the other elders to take back. These are rare items in the Tang Dynasty, and the other elders will definitely be happy to have them."

"Okay, then I'll prepare more."

With so many items, delivery becomes a hassle.

In other words, Li Shimin's family was the emperor, so they had a lot of people at their disposal. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to move these things to the east of the city if there were too few people.

"Bro, are you bringing a tent?"

"Yes, it's hot. Auntie, Sizi, and the rest of you will find it useful."

"A bigger tent, with a screen, would allow us to resupply," Li Lizhi said.

“That’s true,” Xiao Ran nodded.

Bring sweet potatoes with you; some will be boiled (you'll need a large pot and stove), and some will need to be roasted.

There's firewood over there; we can use whatever we have.

Xiao Ran also wanted to prepare some dried sweet potatoes and other similar items so that others could try them and take some back with them.

The same goes for potatoes and corn; the simplest and most convenient methods are boiling and braising. Corn can be used to make pancakes or stew porridge.

Let others have a taste.

Li Shimin wanted to invite others to try barbecue, so he needed to prepare even more things.

With all sorts of grilled skewers and so many people, we need to prepare even more than for Li Lizhi's birthday.

"Let's start moving things early tomorrow and prepare the big pots and stoves."

Li Lizhi nodded, "Young master, don't worry, manpower over there is not a problem."

Xiao Ran had no doubt that Li Shimin could mobilize a large number of troops with a single word.

"We need to prepare more horse-drawn carriages for transporting goods. It's a pity that the others can't drive, otherwise we could send some freight trucks over." Xiao Ran had other things to do.

Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were driving an automatic car, and Xiao Ran didn't feel comfortable letting the two of them drive a manual car.

Li Lizhi looked at it and said, "The carriage is very important. Yu Shu, Xiangcao, and the others should also learn how to use it. The Tang Dynasty will need it in the future."

We can send a car over now, but the problem is no one knows how to drive it, which is a real headache.

"We really need to learn from them!"

Hearing what the others said, Yu Shuxiang and the others were a little excited, they definitely wanted to drive.
