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

Chapter 241 Princess Yuzhang's Gift!
Xiao Ran held his grandmother's arm, and his grandmother smiled.

Grandma looked at the princesses with curiosity, especially the three little princesses, and for a moment she couldn't figure out their relationship.

Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang appear to be around the same age as Xiao Ruoying, so they could be considered Xiao Ruoying's friends or classmates, or Xiao Ran's friends.

However, the relationship between the three little princesses is unknown.

The group then unloaded the items from the car.

"Oh dear, you're here, why did you buy so much stuff?" Grandma said, looking at the group.

"Hehe, milk, it's nothing, just some food."

Compared to the houses in the old town, the tiled houses are a bit short and a bit dark.

The walls were blackened by the smoke from burning firewood.

There are only two small windows facing south, so the light is insufficient; even with the door open, it is still dark inside.

Having been used to villas, the princesses found it difficult to adjust.

Xiao Ran and Xiao Ruoying are alright; this place is full of childhood memories.

I heard my grandparents say before that this was built by them and several uncles, and it has been there for many years.

There was a Beijing-style stove next to a pile of firewood, and the sofa's foam had lost much of its elasticity due to its age.

Seeing the princesses' attire and demeanor made the two elderly people feel a little guilty in the old house.

Xiao Ruoying pulled Princess Yuzhang to sit down, and neither Li Lizhi nor Princess Yuzhang showed any sign of disdain due to their good manners.

As for the three little princesses, they were mostly just curious.

Princess Yuzhang had never seen such a stove before, and reached out to touch it.

He looked surprised.

"It'll probably take two or three days to drive back," Grandpa said, bending over and looking at the car outside the door.

"Well, it will take more than two days," Xiao Ran could only say.

It's about 2,500 kilometers, and if you don't want to be too tired, it will take two or three days.

The Samoyed was a little scared in the unfamiliar environment, even though she was a well-behaved little princess.

"This dog is really nice." Grandma smiled, not expecting to bring a dog back.

“Grandma~ This is my place~” The little princess, being a socialite, took the initiative to speak.

"Mmm, that's nice."

Grandpa had some pastries, cookies, and drinks.

Xiao Ran checked the time and prepared to cook.

At this time, people in the old town would have already eaten, but it's much later in the countryside.

Seeing Xiao Ran cooking, Princess Yuzhang and Li Lizhi both wanted to help.

Xiao Ruoying stopped him, saying, "Let my brother handle this kind of thing!"

"I'll help you," Princess Yuzhang said with a smile.

“You are a guest, how can I let you help me?” Xiao Ruoying knew that the two elderly people would definitely not allow it.

Grandma went out for a while, and when she came back, she had a chicken in her hand.

Feeling there was nothing to offer to the princesses, he thought he should slaughter a chicken as a treat.

"Xiao Ran, slaughter a chicken."

Xiao Ran looked at it and said, "Grandma, is that alright?"

Xiao Ran knew that the princesses must be hungry. The three little princesses were eating with relish, each holding a milk in one hand and a biscuit in the other.

"It'll be ready soon, the pressure cooker will be done in no time. This chicken isn't too tough. It wouldn't be right if we didn't have any other dishes at home," Grandma said to Xiao Ran.

"it is good!"

Xiao Ran nodded.

"Are you settling in well here?" Grandpa picked up his pipe and began rolling a cigarette.

“Grandpa, I’m used to it. I’ve never been here before, but I really like it here,” Li Lizhi said sincerely.

"Is your hometown in the ancient city area?" Grandpa continued to ask.

The accent clearly indicates that they're not from around here.

"My hometown is Xi'an, Changsha," Li Lizhi corrected herself.

Princess Yuzhang took out several bags from her purse. "Grandma, this is medicine for treating rheumatism. I heard from Sister Ruoying that you have always had rheumatism. Try this medicine." Princess Yuzhang's herbal medicine was prepared by the imperial physicians of the palace.

Xiao Ruoying and Princess Yuzhang also discussed some illnesses that are difficult to treat even in modern times.

"Okay, okay," Grandma quickly took it and smelled the herbs.

Li Lizhi hadn't expected these things, and Princess Yuzhang hadn't mentioned them before either.

This gift is truly special; it shows great thoughtfulness.

Grandma has had this chronic illness for a long time, and she's been to the hospital before, but it's a difficult disease to treat.

Many of these ailments are from when we were young, resulting in a host of health problems as we get older.

Xiao Ran heard it too and couldn't help but turn around to look.

Princess Yuzhang was indeed very thoughtful.

Both Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were adept at handling social situations and could find topics to chat about with the two elderly people.

Princess Yuzhang chatted with her grandmother about everyday things, while Li Lizhi talked to her grandfather about potatoes and corn.

"Grandpa, how many potatoes and corn did you grow at home?"

Grandpa took a couple of puffs of his cigarette. "We don't plant much now, just two mu for our own consumption. We're not here most of the time; the land is farmed by others. We're usually in the county town."

There are no separate kitchens in this village; there is a stove in the living room, which is where the food is cooked.

Xiao Ran handled it quickly, starting by stewing the chicken.

Looking at the dark pressure cooker, Princess Yuzhang was a little scared.

"Sister Ruoying, is this safe?"

"Hahaha!" Xiao Ruoying laughed. "It's safe, but occasionally something goes wrong. The rubber ring inside will leak air when it gets old. I remember a group of us were sitting around the stove warming ourselves in the dead of winter."

"It leaked out and gushed out, hitting my brother right on the thigh. He was instantly burned, and a big blister quickly formed."

The steam from a pressure cooker is hotter than boiling water.

Hearing Xiao Ruoying mention it, Xiao Ran also thought of that winter.

"Xiao Ran cried for a long time," Grandma also remembered.

The three little princesses and the Samoyed were unusually quiet, sitting obediently on the sofa.

Eating something.

Xiao Ran started cooking. The first dish was twice-cooked pork, which was cured pork that had been stored for several years. Although it was very fatty, it looked very appetizing.

Both Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were taken aback when they saw the stir-fry being prepared in front of them.

“It’s you again~” The little princess recognized her immediately.

My mother had given me some cured meat before, and the princesses had also eaten it.

I really like it, it's just a bit salty.

"Sizi, are you hungry?" Xiao Ran looked at the little princess.

"Just a little bit~" The little princess swallowed.

"It'll be ready soon." Grandma looked at the little princess. "This little girl is so well-behaved, and she's quite pretty too."

Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang did not quite understand the second half of the sentence.

He glanced at Xiao Ruoying subconsciously.

Grandma said that Sizi is good-looking.

"Hehe~" The little princess knew how to praise herself, and she felt very happy inside.

I don't know why, but cooking with firewood in my hometown feels different from cooking with gas stoves and induction cookers in the city.

It always feels like it tastes a little better.

Stir-fry it briefly, add chopped garlic sprouts, and a bowl of authentic cured pork is ready.

Actually, adding some dried chili peppers would be better, but since the princesses don't eat spicy food, Xiao Ran added some Sichuan peppercorns instead.

Xiao Ruoying brought over a large bowl and scooped out the chicken.

Xiao Ran stir-fried two green vegetables and added some cold red bean soup, and that was it.

"It smells so good." Princess Gaoyang swallowed hard.

I usually eat dinner early, but today it was much later.
