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

Chapter 239 The Little Princess Goes to the Countryside!
Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang looked outside. Compared to the ancient city, this place was obviously much more remote.

There are no skyscrapers, and what you occasionally see are small villages at the foot of the mountain.

However, the vegetation coverage is quite high, consisting of trees and endless fields of corn and potatoes.

It's rare to see such a deserted place.

"Sister Ruoying, how much longer?"

Xiao Ruoying glanced at it and said, "It'll take half an hour to get off the highway and reach the county town."

"Have you ever been to these places before? The mountains here seem very interesting."

Xiao Ruoying shook her head. "My hometown isn't in the county town, it's in a village. It's an hour or half an hour's drive from the county town, it's quite far."

Xiao Ran continued, "Although we're from here, we basically don't go to other places. We stay in the village. When I was a child, we would go to the town to go to the market or to the county town. These places are mostly frequented by people from the surrounding area. People from other places don't come here."

"Little Nangjun is hungry~" The little princess looked at Xiao Ran.

"Didn't we eat grilled sausage?" Li Lizhi looked at the little princess in her arms.

The little princess rubbed her tummy, "I'm still hungry~"

"I miss Qi again~"

"Sizi, we'll be there soon. We can eat when we get there." Xiao Ruoying leaned forward from behind.

"Is there any food in the bag?" Li Lizhi touched the little princess's handbag.

Yes, there is!

The little princess unzipped the zipper herself.

Li Lizhi took a closer look and saw that it mainly contained candy and small cookies.

"Eat this! Have some first." Li Lizhi took out some biscuits from her person.

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang also took out their snacks and shared them with Princess Xiao Ruoying and Princess Yuzhang.

The little princess picked one up and handed it to Xiao Ran, "Little Nangjun~ Niye Qiya~"

"Sizi, you can eat, I'm not hungry." Xiao Ran smiled.

“Young master is driving! You have to tear it open!” Li Lizhi said.

The little princess nodded, tore it open, and handed it to Xiao Ran.

But the little princess had short arms, so Li Lizhi took the food and fed it to Xiao Ran.

Actually, one can drive with one hand, so Xiao Ran didn't reach out to take it.

The atmosphere in the car became lively again as they ate.

We soon arrived at the tollbooth.

It is already evening now.

"Brother, shall we go straight back, or stay in the county town for the night?" Xiao Ruoying asked Xiao Ran.

"Hurry up, we'll be there in 50 minutes. Let's buy some things and head straight back!" Xiao Ran said with a smile. "The county town isn't very interesting. I haven't seen my grandparents in a long time."

"By the way, Grandma's birthday is tomorrow, right?" Xiao Ran asked to confirm.

"Hmm, should we buy the cake in advance?" Xiao Ruoying asked.

"It's not good to buy it overnight, let's talk about it tomorrow." Anyway, it's convenient to drive, so we don't necessarily have to go to the county town to buy it.

You can go to the town; it only takes about ten minutes by car.

After exiting the toll station, you can see the tall buildings in the county town.

“Little Nang Jun~ isn’t that you~” the little princess pointed.

“Sizi, no, that’s not it.” Xiao Ran looked at the environment of his hometown and felt a little unfamiliar.

Although it is a remote area, there have been many changes.

It's the same every few years.

"There are mountains everywhere, so many!" Princess Gaoyang exclaimed as she looked outside.

Because it was a county road, the speed slowed down, and the passengers rolled down their windows.

It was cloudy in the provincial capital, but sunny in the county town.

"The sky here seems bluer than in the ancient city. Is it just my imagination?" Princess Yuzhang looked around.

"No, this is a plateau, and it's still a poor county. There's not much industrial pollution, so the sky is indeed bluer. In the ancient city, we are often affected by sandstorms from the grasslands, but these problems don't exist in the southwest."

"So blue~" the little princess pointed with her tiny finger, "So pretty~"

"Does Sizi like it here?" Xiao Ran looked at the little princess. "I love it!"

"Young master, are there no restrooms after we get off the highway?" Princess Yuzhang suddenly asked.

"There's a public restroom up ahead, and the development zone is over there."

"Second sister needs to go to the restroom, please stop for a moment," Princess Yuzhang said.

"it is good!"

Since we were already there, not only the little princess of Chengyang, but everyone else went to visit as well.

"It smells so bad!" the little princess complained as soon as she came out.

Xiao Ran patted the little princess's head.

This is in the suburbs of the county town; it's good enough that we have it at all.

"Wow, so many potatoes!" We were on the highway before, but now we can see them up close.

I've eaten there many times in the ancient city, but I've never seen it grown in the ground.

Therefore, Li Lizhi really wanted to get closer and take a look.

Seeing Li Lizhi go over, the little princesses also ran over quickly.

"So many 'fa's'~" the little princess pointed.

"Sister, I want this." Princess Gaoyang had never seen potato flowers before and wanted to pick them.

Li Lizhi shook her head, "Seventeen belongs to someone else, you can't just pick it."

Previously, in the palace, the little princesses could pick them freely without any problem.

But it's different now.

"Brother, potatoes grow at the bottom, they're the root part. Won't picking the flowers affect the potato harvest?" Princess Yuzhang asked.

"It's okay, you can pick them." Xiao Ran reached out and picked some for the little princesses.

Xiao Ran thought this thing was neither good-looking nor fragrant.

However, since several princesses liked them, they picked them.

"Why are there only potatoes here, and no corn or anything else?" Li Lizhi then realized that there was nothing else in the fields covering the hillsides. There used to be corn, but now it was all potatoes.

Xiao Ran pointed to a large sign not far away, "This might be a project, a 10,000-mu potato plantation."

Xiao Ran didn't know why this was being done.

Potatoes are the main economic crop in the area, but not all crops are grown in potatoes.

In rural areas, people also raise cattle and sheep, so corn is actually a necessity.

Not only cattle and sheep, but also chickens, ducks and geese need corn.

"Brother, does this mean anything?" Princess Yuzhang didn't quite understand.

"I don't know either, let's get in the car!" Xiao Ran said, "Let's go back early, we still need to buy some things when we get to town."

"Buy it again~" The little princess squatted down and petted the Samoyed.

"Okay, let's buy the meat."

Li Lizhi pulled the little princess up and let her sit in the front row.

Xiao Ran started the car and continued driving back.

The sight of the sunset made Xiao Ran involuntarily think of many things from the past.

When I was very young, I would help with farm work after school at this time.

Aside from spring and winter, it seems like we need to cut grass in summer and autumn. My grandparents used to raise cattle and pigs, and they needed to cut grass to feed them.

Occasionally, you can see people busy in the fields, including not only adults but also many children.

“It’s a cow~” the little princess pointed outside.

“There are many sheep over there!” Princess Gaoyang added.

"Brother, why don't we see any horses?" Princess Yuzhang suddenly realized this problem.

In the Tang Dynasty, cattle were an important agricultural resource, while horses were a strategic resource, with horses holding a higher status than cattle.

Princess Yuzhang also knew that the current conditions were certainly suitable for raising horses.

“Maybe we don’t need it!” Xiao Ran said. “Oxen are for plowing, and tractors and the like are used for transportation now.”
