Chapter 244 The Little Princess Picks Vegetables!
We can only call upon Xiao Ran.

Upon seeing Xiao Ran, the little princess smiled and pointed down, "Little Nangjun, come down here!"

"okay!"

After putting on his shoes, Xiao Ran led the three little princesses out of the room.

A Samoyed also came out with them.

"Good morning, Grandma~" The little princess greeted him with a smile as she walked out of the room.

"Good morning, Sizi." Grandma smiled kindly.

The more I look at them, the more I like the little princesses; they are just like other people's children.

Since it wasn't convenient to wash up at home, Xiao Ran took his three little princesses to wash their faces outside.

Each person is holding a children's toothbrush and a small cup, squatting on the ground brushing their teeth.

Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang had both gotten up, and Xiao Ruoying felt too embarrassed to sleep any longer.

"Good morning, Grandma!" Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang greeted her with smiles.

Only then did I realize that it wasn't a fire, but a fire being started.

The stove's flue did not extend outside, but rather to the second floor; this tiled house had three floors.

The second floor is used to store grains such as corn, while cured meat is usually hung from the beams on the third floor.

Cured pork is usually smoked directly above the stove to make it taste better.

Although it gets dark and grimy after being smoked for a while, making it a bit difficult to wash, cured meat without smoking just doesn't taste as good.

Li Lizhi and Xiao Ruoying also took their toiletries outside.

Princess Yuzhang opened her heart and exclaimed, "It's just different!"

“Yes!” Li Lizhi nodded.

Back in the living room, the three little princesses had tears in their eyes from the smell and kept rubbing them.

Let alone the princesses, Xiao Ran and Xiao Ruoying are also not used to not being back for a long time.

Xun's eyes were filled with tears.

Xiao Ran was both amused and exasperated by what he saw.

He took the little princesses out of the living room and sat down on a small wooden stool outside.

Grandma brought some food.

"Xiao Ran, do you want to roast some potatoes?"

"Yes, milk, yes, I'll go make it," Xiao Ruoying said quickly.

I used to eat two potatoes in the morning.

When we eat late, we'll boil water or potatoes for the pigs and leave a few to cook on the side.

This method has two layers, with potatoes placed in the middle layer, which is just right.

"I want seven potatoes~" the little princess said, holding a cookie.

"Okay, our Sizi has one too." Xiao Ran rubbed the little princess's head.

Princess Yuzhang hurriedly followed, wanting to see how it was cooked.

Li Lizhi didn't go; she was busy combing her three younger sisters' hair.

The three little princesses also have very long hair, and they need to style their hair into pretty buns every day.

Xiao Ran only knows how to comb hair, not how to make a bun.

Not long after, Xiao Ruoying came out carrying a few dark potatoes in a dustpan.

"All right."

Li Lizhi and Princess felt they couldn't bring themselves to do it.

"Wow~ It's all dark~" The little princess wanted to take one.

"Sizi, wait a minute, it's hot and black now." Xiao Ran took the dustpan, picked it up, and walked to the other side to shake it.

Shake off the black ash on top.

It looks golden in color here, but it's because the heat was uneven when it was burned, and some parts are very black.

“This looks much better,” Princess Yuzhang said, picking one up.

Xiao Ruoying picked up the corncob. "Just scrape it with this. The skin is crispy and delicious. It's a shame to peel it directly."

Princess Yuzhang took the corn cob, unsure of what to do with it.

I saw roasted potatoes sold at street stalls before, and they were chopped with a small hacksaw.

Xiao Ruoying set an example, and the little princesses wanted to try it too.

Each person held a potato and a corncob.

"Hehe~ Fun~"

The little princess was more interested in participating. Xiao Ran finished scraping one and handed it to the little princess, "Sizi, brother scraped this, you eat it!"

The little princess took the potato; its golden color made it look very appetizing.

The little princess didn't eat, turned around and ran back to the living room, calling out, "Grandma~ Ni Xianqi~"

Grandma smiled and said, "Little Sizi can eat this; Grandma's teeth can't handle it."

It was cooked well, but it was hard.

Older people prefer to simmer the food in a pressure cooker until it's soft and tender.

Grandma found some chili sauce and spiced chili powder for dipping potatoes.

This kind of chili pepper is actually fragrant. Xiao Ran, a local, didn't think it was spicy, but the princesses thought it was very spicy.

Even if it's very spicy, I still want to try it.

"This is indeed quite delicious. Mmm." Princess Yuzhang took a sip of milk.

The three little princesses, with just a tiny bit of gravy, are simply going through the motions.

"Hiss~ It's spicy~" Although the little princess wasn't spicy, she followed suit after seeing Princess Yuzhang doing this.

"Hahaha!" Xiao Ruoying couldn't help but laugh.

"It tastes about the same as the one I bought before, both are quite delicious." Li Lizhi looked at the potato in her hand.

"Hmm, brother, is Grandpa still not up?" Princess Yuzhang didn't see him.

"Grandpa got up late, so we'll have to wait a bit."

In rural areas, people don't eat steamed buns or fried dough sticks for breakfast; they have to cook a proper meal.

That's always been Xiao Ran's impression.

It's just that we eat relatively late; breakfast at eight or nine o'clock is quite normal.

If there are livestock at home, the pigs and cows must be fed first, and only after the people have eaten can they go to work in the fields.

Lunch was also postponed until around 1:00 or 14:00.

Grandma finished cooking the rice and said, "Go pick some vegetables from the garden."

"Grandma, there's a vegetable garden too?" Xiao Ruoying asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, your grandfather planted them two months in advance. We're coming back to live here, so it'll be convenient to grow some vegetables," Grandma explained.

“Let’s go pick them.” Xiao Ruoying took a vegetable basket.

Several people each held a potato, preparing to go pick vegetables.

Princess Yuzhang was holding her grandmother's arm. The kitchen knife was at the door, but it was actually at the foot of the mountain.

However, the foot of the mountain is not high, only about ten meters high, and you can just go down a small slope.

The plots in front contain both potatoes and corn.

For the elderly, going uphill is tiring, but going downhill is even more difficult.

Xiao Ran also supported his grandmother's arm.

"It's alright, it's alright," Grandma smiled.

At the edge of the field, I saw a vegetable garden.

"There are quite a lot of varieties!" Xiao Ruoying smiled.

Xiao Ran saw it: there were scallions, garlic sprouts, cilantro, bok choy, and turnips.
"Wow~" The little princess was very excited.

Xiao Ran also liked this feeling, but growing vegetables in the ancient city was not realistic. He didn't have the time or the land.

"Is this melon ready to eat?" Xiao Ruoying pointed.

"It should be fine, take a look," Grandma said.

Xiao Ruoying and Princess Yuzhang and the others went over, parted the melon leaves, and saw several melons the size of fists.

"Eh~ It's a melon~" The little princess reached out and touched it.

"So tender! Is it safe to eat?" Princess Yuzhang wasn't sure either.

"This is fine. We can boil or stir-fry it later." Xiao Ran also saw it.

In the past, my grandparents would plant two or three plants every year, which was enough for them to eat.

If you eat too much, you'll get old and it won't taste good.

It's for about a month.

"Come here~" The little princess wanted to pick it herself.

"Good oxen, come here."

It was just a little difficult for the little princess to pick them.
