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

Chapter 237 Southwest Snacks!

"This looks like some kind of root or stem. Is it tasty?" Princess Yuzhang had never eaten it before; it wasn't available in the ancient city.

The reason is that people in the old city are not used to the food, so it is difficult to buy.

"We really enjoy eating it."

The woman selling potatoes smiled and said, "Houttuynia cordata is very delicious, but people from other places probably won't be used to it!"

You can tell from their accent that they're not from the local area.

Li Lizhi looked around and saw that there were many fried potatoes, as well as quite a few other things.

They're all snacks, things I've never seen before in the old town.

"Young master, what is this golden yellow thing?" Li Lizhi pointed.

"This is jelly!"

The little princess looked at it and said, "Little Nangjun, I want seven!"

"Okay, let's try it."

Li Lizhi then pointed to these over there, "What about these over there?"

"They're all jelly noodles. This one is made with bitter buckwheat, this one with sweet buckwheat, and this one with peas. That one is rolled jelly noodles. They're all pretty good."

"Try them all, they look delicious," Princess Yuzhang said, leaning closer.

"Okay, two bowls each, no chili," Xiao Ran said.

The princesses looked around and found that there were indeed many kinds of food, completely different from those in the ancient city.

There are plenty of food options at the night market in the old town.

"Brother, that's a potato too," the little princess of Chengyang pointed.

"That's burnt, it's not bad."

"I'll go buy two to try," Princess Yuzhang said, taking out her phone.

"That tastes best with chili peppers; it's soulless without them," Xiao Ran reminded him.

"Then put in just a little bit less," Princess Yuzhang said, leading Xiao Ruoying and the two little princesses over to buy one for each of them.

I also saw how to eat it.

The potatoes were cooked, but instead of peeling them, I scraped them. They were golden in color and looked very appetizing.

This way of eating is only done in the Southwest; Xiao Ran had never seen it anywhere else.

We ordered several bowls of potatoes, as well as various kinds of cold noodles.

A table was set up, and Xiao Ran found a few disposable bowls.

I've never eaten like this before.

"Try it." Xiao Ran stirred it.

The jelly noodles weren't stirred; they had a slightly cold dish feel to them.

"Little Nangjun, I want that one~" The little princess pointed to the buckwheat jelly.

I remember the golden color was pretty.

Each person had a potato in their hand. Xiao Ran and Xiao Ruoying had more chili peppers, while the princesses' chili peppers were only slightly spicy, similar to those in braised beef noodles.

"This is refreshing and delicious." Princess Yuzhang's eyes lit up.

Li Lizhi picked up her chopsticks and exclaimed, "This is good, this is good!"

The little princesses ate with great relish.

Xiao Ran was worried that the princesses wouldn't be used to the food, and that they would have to eat something else later.

"Is the 'Sizi' (a type of edible fruit) delicious?" Xiao Ruoying asked.

"Okay, okay~" It's just a bit difficult, this jelly is hard to pick up.

"I'll send some over to Grandpa and Grandma later. Grandma will probably like it too. It's good to eat this on such a hot day." Princess Yuzhang did not forget Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.

"Okay, I'll send it over in a bit." Xiao Ran nodded. There was a mirror in the car, so it would be very convenient to go there directly.

"Weiyang, try this." Xiao Ruoying put some houttuynia cordata on Princess Yuzhang's plate.

Princess Yuzhang picked it up and sniffed it. "It does smell a bit fishy."

"Pah!" Princess Yuzhang spat it out as soon as she put it in her mouth.

He picked up the water next to him, took a sip, and frowned. "I really can't get used to it."

Li Lizhi also picked up some, saying, "I'll try it."

It looks like Xiao Ran is eating it and it tastes pretty good.

Li Lizhi's reaction was similar to that of Princess Yuzhang.

The three little princesses also wanted to join in the fun, but none of them could accept it.

“It’s not good at all!” The little princess frowned. “Hahaha!” Xiao Ran laughed.

The aunt next to them kept watching Xiao Ran and the others.

Princess Li Lizhi of Yuzhang was beautiful, and her little princesses were adorable.

"Auntie, another bowl of everything that's different," Xiao Ran called out.

"Don't you want chili peppers for the roundabout?" the aunt asked.

"No."

"Is the ring made of sweet vinegar?"

"Yes, sweet vinegar will do."

I don't know if it's because I've grown up or what, but when I was little, I thought the portions were huge, but now a bowl doesn't feel like much at all.

Xiao Ran doesn't eat much, but when he gets hungry, he can eat several bowls of rice.

This kind of jelly doesn't actually keep you full for long; you'll feel hungry again quickly after eating it.

"Brother, I want to eat this, it's so delicious!" Princess Gaoyang pointed to the rice noodle rolls in her bowl.

"Okay, another bowl, with extra sesame."

After finishing their meal, Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang packed up a lot of food.

Empress Zhangsun did not have a large appetite, but Li Shimin did.

The group returned to the car. The rain had stopped, but the sky was still overcast.

Xiao Ran watched the car drive for a while before stopping on a deserted roadside. The group then got out of the car and went to the Tang Dynasty.

The mirror is in the car, so I'm not worried about anyone taking it.

"Hmm? Why are you back?" Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were also having dinner.

With only two people, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun didn't have many dishes to choose from.

"Grandpa has good news~" The little princess ran up to Li Shimin and pointed.

Princess Yuzhang and Xiao Ruoying were both carrying things in their hands.

"What is this?"

"Grandpa, this is cold jelly from over there. It's delicious. We didn't have it here in the ancient city before," Princess Yuzhang introduced, taking it out of the bag.

The roadside vendors don't even have takeout boxes, just bags.

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun looked at it curiously, and indeed they had never seen anything like it before.

The jelly noodles and rice rolls are prepared separately from the seasonings. Xiao Ruoying and Li Lizhi prepared them for Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.

"Grandpa, have a taste." Li Lizhi handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took it and handed it to Empress Zhangsun, saying, "Empress, you eat first."

"Yes, it's cool and refreshing." Empress Zhangsun nodded.

As expected, Li Shimin ate several bowls in one go.

Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were a little surprised when they mentioned that the other side was a bit cold.

"Cold? It's cold this time of year? I remember it was very hot in the ancient city."

Li Shimin was indeed unaware of the situation in the southwest.

“It’s mostly cloudy there, and it rains a lot. It can get cold sometimes, so it’s a good place to escape the summer heat,” Xiao Ran said.

Xiao Ruoying took out her phone, opened the photo album, and showed it to Empress Zhangsun.

"Later, I will take the Empress to visit her as well." Li Shimin had been to many places during his campaigns, but Empress Zhangsun had mostly stayed in Chang'an.

"Yingniang, are these things difficult to make? I have no appetite on this hot day, this is a good thing to eat." Empress Zhangsun was interested in learning how to make them.

"Auntie, this isn't difficult, it's very simple."

"When you guys come back, I'll make some for you to try."

Xiao Ran and the others chatted idly while the three little princesses went off to play with the dog.

They even fed the dog.

Seeing Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi get up to leave, the little princess and the others ran over.

"Little Nang-kun~ Can you bring Youyou along, okay~"

"I want to play with Youyou~"

"Brother, this is a small, meaty dish. It won't take up much space. Take it with you!" Xiao Ruoying said.

"Okay, fine!" Seeing that the princesses liked it, Xiao Ran didn't refuse.

The group returned to the car, along with a dog.
