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

Chapter 248 Taking the Little Princess to Buy a Cake!
Grandpa and Grandma were a little unaccustomed to it, but the little princesses kept the atmosphere lively.

Fortunately, Princess Yuzhang and Xiao Ruoying kept her company and chatted with her.

Princess Yuzhang was very talkative and could chat with anyone.

Perhaps this is what backward compatibility is all about!

Looking out the car window at the fields of potatoes and corn covering the mountains, Li Lizhi wondered when the Tang Dynasty would ever be like that.

Li Lizhi hoped that the people of the Tang Dynasty would plant potatoes and corn as soon as possible.

"When will the Tang Dynasty be able to grow corn like this?"

Li Lizhi muttered to herself.

"It will be quick. These things taste quite good. His Majesty and his uncles were very satisfied with the taste of the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. Others should like them too. There's no need to worry about others not wanting to grow such good things."

"However, Chang Le's output in the Tang Dynasty is definitely not as good as this place." Xiao Ran also wanted to remind her so that Li Lizhi wouldn't be disappointed later.

“I was prepared for this. It’s about farming techniques, right?” Li Lizhi said.

"Technology is secondary; the main thing is various fertilizers and urea," Xiao Ran explained simply.

These things are impossible for the Tang Dynasty to have, and Xiao Ran would never send fertilizer or similar items to the Tang Dynasty.

"Even without these things, the output should still be much higher than before, and that's enough." Li Lizhi was already satisfied.

"Well, that's true."

“This place is so nice. I love the tranquility here. And Grandpa and Grandma are so kind too,” Li Lizhi smiled.

“Hey duck~ I like it too~” the little princess said.

"Sizi, do you want to come again in the future?" Xiao Ran asked as he drove.

"Want some ducks? I'll bring you more! Grandpa has lots of honey!"

"Hee hee~"

All three little princesses said they would like to come again.

Soon the group arrived in town. It wasn't market day, so there were very few people around.

The town's market is mainly a single line, with shops lining the entire route.

Xiao Ran remembered that there were two cake shops, but they weren't here and couldn't be found; they were basically on the street anyway.

The little princess and Li Lizhi's birthday cakes were very big before, but Xiao Ran doesn't plan to buy a big one this time.

There aren't many people, so we can't eat much.

Grandparents shouldn't waste things either.

This generation of elderly people experienced hunger before, so they understand the value of food even more.

Many people have heard since childhood that we should cherish food, not waste it, and that wasting food is shameful.

What you hear about is nowhere near as profound as what you experience.

Even though conditions have improved now, many elderly people in rural areas are still very frugal.

Leftovers are only given to dogs, pigs, or cows if they are absolutely spoiled and inedible.

After making the reservation, I also bought some pastries.

Grandpa's teeth aren't very good, and neither are Grandma's.

Buy some soft pastries to take home so you can enjoy them anytime.

There are also three little princesses who can eat. The mealtimes here are different from before, and the three little princesses get hungry easily.

"Sizi, Second Sister Seventeen, what else would you like to eat?" Xiao Ran asked the three little princesses.

This cake shop is small and doesn't have many varieties.

However, the three little princesses chose several items.

Instead of considering the taste, we should consider whether it looks good first.

After making their selections, Xiao Ran and his companions left.

Li Lizhi looked at her feet; her shoes were very dirty.

There is a lot of mud on the edges, which is something that would not exist in the ancient city or the Tang Dynasty.

The three little princesses were even more so.

Since the three little princesses didn't care, Li Lizhi didn't say anything.

Xiao Ran led the princesses to the vegetable market. Inside, Li Lizhi was surprised; the shop only sold various fruits and vegetables, and it was small, even a bit cramped.

However, the variety of vegetables was even greater than in Xiao Ran's supermarket before. Li Lizhi had also been to the large supermarket in the shopping mall and the vegetable market in the ancient city.

None of them have as many varieties of dishes as this place.

The old town only has a few vegetables: celery, green peppers, chives, cabbage, and green beans, which we eat once a year and only for half a year at a time.

I'm getting tired of what to eat, and I don't know what to buy at the market.

Many of the vegetables here are ones I've never seen before, and they look very fresh.

“Young master, there are so many kinds of dishes here!” Li Lizhi said.

“Yes, there are a lot here.” Xiao Ran picked up a bag and began to pack pea shoots.

As long as Grandma grows cilantro and scallions, there's no need to buy them.

Buy some tomatoes or something, since we don't have any at home.

Also, tofu, fish, and some fresh meat.
The situation is different now. Xiao Ran doesn't remember his grandparents ever buying meat before.

The uncles and aunts next door didn't buy any either; they all raised and slaughtered their own pigs. There were only meat sellers, no meat buyers.

In winter, slaughtering a pig allows you to eat fresh meat for a month; afterwards, you eat only cured meat.

Having eaten cured meat for almost a year, Xiao Ran found fresh meat incredibly delicious, leaving a lasting impression on him every time.

In winter, every household slaughters a pig, and the feast at that time ranks third in terms of abundance, second only to the New Year's Eve dinner and banquets.

Many children in the village crave pig brains, thinking they are especially delicious when sprinkled with salt, wrapped in vegetable leaves, and roasted in a pile of charcoal.

The three little princesses wanted to help carry things, but they weren't strong enough.

The little princess was holding an onion, the Chengyang little princess was holding an eggplant, and the Gaoyang little princess was holding two tomatoes.

The main focus is on participation.

Passing by the supermarket, Xiao Ran bought some milk.

We didn't buy carbonated drinks; my grandparents don't drink those.

“Little Nang Jun~ is a fried potato~” the little princess pointed to the other side.

"There's also jelly, isn't there?" Li Lizhi also noticed it.

"Would you like to try it?"

"I want duck~" the little princess said quickly.

In the afternoon, we went to my third grandfather's house for a banquet. At noon, we bought some cold noodles and other similar items. It was nice to have them ready-made.

"Okay, let's put our things down and go shopping."

As before, I bought a little of everything.

"Huh, why is it raining?" Li Lizhi looked up. Just a moment ago the sky was clear and blue, but suddenly it started raining.

"Let's go back!"

Several people got in the car.

"Brother, this car is also nice." Princess Gaoyang pointed outside.

“This is a tractor,” Xiao Ran said with a smile.

"There are quite a lot of these tractors," Li Lizhi noticed as well, as they were rarely seen in the ancient city before.

But tractors could be seen coming and going all the time in the town.

"This is for agricultural use. Many roads are in bad condition and cars can't pass, but tractors can go. They can also carry a lot of goods. They usually transport potatoes and corn, but now they are mainly used for tractors."

“This is good. The Tang Dynasty can use it in the future.” Li Lizhi knew that the roads in the Tang Dynasty were not very good. The roads in Chang’an City were naturally excellent, but other places were not as good as the rural areas in Xiao Ran’s hometown.

The main road in this village is at least a cement road, but there are no cement roads in the Tang Dynasty.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. Luckily I was driving, otherwise I would have been soaked to the bone.

Back home, Grandpa, Grandma, and Princess Yuzhang returned to the living room and lit a stove.

It's a bit cold because of the rain.

"Milk~ My little darling is here~"
