Chapter 307 The Little Princess Eats Spicy Food!
The experimental field was divided into several small plots, each with a wooden sign at the top that read the variety and name, along with a brief introduction.

Some vegetables have already blossomed, and the little princess pointed to a flower over there that she didn't know what it was.

"Fafa~" the little princess said, walking towards the flowers and reaching out to pick them.

Xiao Ran quickly grasped the little princess's hand and instructed her, "You can't pick these flowers, or there won't be any fruit."

Normally, if there are too many flowers, we will pick some off, but these are flowers that have already been picked.

The little princess looked at Xiao Ran, then at Hua Hua.

After thinking for a moment, she reached out and carefully touched it, then burst into laughter.

"Fafa duck~"

Zhou Jie explained various grafting techniques to Li Lizhi and Xiao Ruoying, including not only the selection of grafting types but also the various grafting methods.

Li Lizhi was like a sponge, constantly absorbing all kinds of knowledge.

Xiao Ran, holding the little princess, toured the entire experimental field under Teacher Zhao's guidance.

"Down duck~ Down duck~" Although the little princess liked Xiao Ran's embrace very much, she was also a little excited when she saw all kinds of unfamiliar plants around her.

Xiao Ran bent down and placed the little princess on the ground.

However, they didn't let the little princess run around freely, since she was still young.

"Would you like to hold my hand, Sizi?"

They were in an unfamiliar environment, so the little princess wasn't afraid, but she didn't want to leave Xiao Ran either.

“Good duck~”

Teacher Zhao watched silently from the side.

"Here, try this strawberry." Teacher Zhao picked a strawberry from the field, washed it at the nearby water pipe, and handed one to the little princess, and of course, one to Xiao Ran as well.

Xiao Ran took a bite. This strawberry was very large, much larger than ordinary strawberries, but the taste...
Teacher Zhao said with a smile, "Does it taste bad?"

Xiao Ran nodded. "The strawberry flavor is milder, and it's not very sweet."

It's something that's neither good enough to eat nor good enough to throw away.

Teacher Zhao nodded, "We are also making improvements, but the progress so far is only so-so."

Then, Xiao Ran looked down at the little princess.

At this moment, the little princess is holding a large strawberry in both hands and eating it bite by bite.

Xiao Ran asked with a smile, "Sizi, is it delicious?"

The little princess nodded, "Okay, Qi Ya~"

Xiao Ran chuckled, "I don't think there's anything bad to eat here."

The little princess didn't understand him and continued eating strawberries.

While eating strawberries, Teacher Zhao led them through the experimental field.

He noticed that the little princess liked flowers, so he specially prepared a potted plant for her.

"This is a variant of peony, which is easier to grow than the traditional peony. The flowers are smaller but more numerous. Most importantly, it is possible to produce peonies with unusual colors."

The peony hasn't bloomed yet; it's just a small seedling.

Xiao Ran looked at the little princess and said, "Sizi, you're in charge of taking care of this flower."

The little princess straightened her chest and suddenly felt the weight of the burden on her shoulders.

"Okay~ My darling~"

Xiao Ran smiled and took the little princess to find Li Lizhi and Xiao Ruoying.

"Brother, you're back!" Xiao Ruoying saw Xiao Ran immediately.

"Oh, what is our little princess eating?" Xiao Ruoying squatted down to tease the little princess.

The little princess smiled at Xiao Ruoying, "Guoguo duck~"

Xiao Ruoying smiled, glanced at the sky, and said, "That's about it for today, Sister Zhou. If you have any problems in the future, I'll give you a call. Don't think I'm a nuisance."

Zhou Jie smiled and said, "No, don't worry."

They had been out for a while, and it was lunchtime now, but since they had come to ask Zhou Jie for help, they couldn't just leave.

So the group found a hot pot restaurant.

We originally planned to go to a restaurant because Teacher Zhao is not young, but when we passed by the hot pot restaurant, the little princess twitched her nose.

"It smells so good!" The little princess turned her head, trying to find where the smell was coming from.

Seeing the little princess's expression, Teacher Zhao simply said, "It must be this hot pot restaurant, so let's go eat hot pot."

So the group went to a hot pot restaurant.

Although it's not very formal, it does smell quite nice.

Xiao Ran glanced at it and found that the ingredients were quite fresh.

When he came to his senses after reading it, he was startled by the little princess.

"Sizi, you can't eat this." Xiao Ran quickly held the little princess's hand.

"Seven ducks~" The little princess looked at the shrimp in her hand, "Delicious ducks~"

Xiao Ran took the shrimp out of the little princess's hand.

"Sister Si, let's wait a bit. This shrimp is still raw; we need to cook it."

The little princess obediently withdrew her hand, "Okay~"

However, her eyes remained fixed on the bubbling soup in the pot, and she would occasionally lick her lips and swallow.

His gluttonous expression made everyone present laugh.

Because of the little princess, and because Teacher Zhao is not young and her stomach is not very good, she ordered a hot pot with two broths.

Xiao Ran first put some shrimp and meat into the clear soup pot. When it looked about right, he picked them up, blew on them to cool them down, and then put them into the little princess's bowl.

The little princess took a small spoon and put a piece of beef roll into her mouth.

"This is so good!" The little princess's eyes lit up, and she quickly took another bite.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran simply added some more shrimp, while also peeling them for the little princess.

The little princess took a bite of the beef roll, then a bite of the shrimp, thoroughly enjoying her meal.

Seeing that the little princess was eating happily and had no problems, I realized that the little princess was eating well.

Xiao Ran then ate his own food.

Unbeknownst to Xiao Ran, the little princess, while eating, suddenly wrinkled her nose.

Then, she raised her little head and looked around before fixing her gaze on the bowl in front of Xiao Ran.

There was also a beef roll in that bowl, but it had been fished out of the spicy broth.

The little princess tugged at Xiao Ran, "Little Nangjun~"

Xiao Ran looked down at the little princess in his arms. "What's wrong, Si Zi?"

The little princess pointed to Xiao Ran's bowl, "I want this one~"

Xiao Ran shook his head. "No, this is spicy."

The little princess looked again, but still insisted, "Seven of these~ this one smells so good~"

Xiao Ruoying, who was standing to the side, thought for a moment and said, "Brother, how about we rinse it with water and let Sizi have a taste?"

The little princess is too young; her stomach definitely couldn't handle eating spicy hot pot, but if she just tasted it, it wouldn't be a problem.

So Xiao Ran adopted Xiao Ruoying's method, first rinsing the beef rolls repeatedly before feeding them to the little princess. "You can only eat a little bit," Xiao Ran said.

The little princess nodded obediently; she simply thought Xiao Ran's food tasted better.

The little princess looked at the meat on Xiao Ran's chopsticks, opened her little mouth, and tried to take a small bite.

Everyone present stared intently at the little princess.

After taking a bite, the little princess showed no reaction whatsoever.

Teacher Zhao was somewhat surprised, "It's said that some people are born with the ability to eat spicy food, but I always thought it was just a rumor."

As soon as she finished speaking, the little princess pouted and her eyes quickly welled up with tears.

"Waaaaah~ This thing bit my nest again~ Ouch~"

It was indeed pitiful to see the little princess about to cry, but it was also a little funny.

Fortunately, I bought a few bottles of peanut milk at the beginning.

Xiao Ran quickly poured a cup and fed it to the little princess.

"Come on, Sizi, let's drink milk."

The little princess slurped up her slightly uncontrollable saliva and took a sip of peanut milk.

The spicy hot pot we originally ordered wasn't very spicy, since Li Lizhi isn't very good at handling spicy food, and after cooking it in the broth, the spiciness was even less.

But it was still a bit stimulating for the little princess.

Milk does relieve spiciness; after a few sips of peanut milk, the little princess no longer felt the spiciness.

"Shall we eat this?" Xiao Ran picked up a piece of meat from the clear broth pot.

The little princess looked at the clear broth, then at the spicy broth, shook her head, and pointed to the spicy broth pot, saying, "This is delicious!"

Xiao Ran was also helpless; he was so spicy that he actually thought the spicy hot pot was delicious.

Indeed, spicy broth is more flavorful than clear broth.

But the little princess is too young. We only let her taste it a little; we can't give her any more.

Xiao Ran touched the little princess's belly; it was bulging.

Actually, the little princess wasn't hungry at all, since her mouth had been constantly moving.

To distract the little princess, Xiao Ran ordered two desserts, one for the little princess and one for Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi looked at Xiao Ruoying somewhat embarrassedly.

Xiao Ruoying rolled her eyes inwardly. Even if she didn't want to eat, there was no need for such differential treatment!

Xiao Ran ignored Xiao Ruoying's ideas and instead cut a mango crepe in half and fed it to the little princess.

After enjoying the sweet dessert, the little princess no longer cared about the hot pot.

"Little Nangjun~ This is so sweet~" the little princess said, pushing the mango crepe toward Xiao Ran.

"Small Cysts Seven~"

Xiao Ran smiled, ate a small piece from the fork, and then gave the little princess another piece.

Zhou Jie, who was standing to the side, looked at Xiao Ruoying and asked, "Actually, I was curious earlier. Isn't this child your sister? Why doesn't she call your brother 'brother'?"

Xiao Ruoying's eyes darted around, and she quickly came up with a reasonable explanation.

"Ah, that's how it is. Kids always have wild imaginations and like to come up with nicknames."

Zhou Jie nodded in agreement.

Actually, she didn't quite hear what the little princess called out, but it didn't sound like she was calling him "brother," so she just asked casually.

Next, Li Lizhi and Xiao Ruoying asked each other questions from time to time, not only about grafting but also about other aspects. Li Lizhi also exchanged contact information with Zhou Jie.

After the meal, Teacher Zhao and Zhou Jie had to go back to school, while Xiao Ran and the others returned to the villa.

"Sizi!" Princess Chengyang ran over instantly.

"Second sister~" The little princess also ran towards the little princess of Chengyang.

The two felt a sense of triumphant reunion.

Xiao Ran glanced around and, not seeing Princess Gaoyang, asked Empress Zhangsun, who was standing beside him, "Auntie, where is Seventeen?"

Empress Zhangsun said, "She was sleepy and just fell asleep. Fanyin was also sleepy, but she insisted on waiting for Sizi to come back."

Xiao Ran looked at the little princess of Chengyang. Indeed, although he was very happy to see the little princess, he was obviously a little tired.

Actually, the little princess must be tired too, after all, she was quite active during the day.

"Sizi, shall we go to sleep?" Xiao Ran asked.

The little princess saw many new things today and wanted to share the flowers she brought back with Empress Zhangsun, so she wasn't very sleepy.

At this moment, Li Lizhi said, "Fanyin is sleepy. How about Sizi takes a nap with Fanyin?"

The little princess held the hand of the Chengyang little princess, looked at the Chengyang little princess, and nodded.

"Good~"

The little princess is often very considerate.

The little princess and the Chengyang little princess went to sleep. Xiao Ran put the flowers that Teacher Zhao gave him on the windowsill, and then sat down on the sofa with Li Lizhi.

Empress Zhangsun knew they were doing something about grafting, but she didn't understand it, so she didn't ask and just listened to Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi's discussion.

“I can’t wait to see the results,” Li Lizhi said.

Today they brought their grafted flowers over, and after Zhou Jie looked at them, she gave them some guidance, not only changing the grafting method but also explaining the follow-up treatment.

However, it will take some time before these flowers bloom.

Moreover, because it is grafted from climbing roses and roses, we have to wait for it to slowly climb.

However, today, with Zhou Jie's help, Li Lizhi and Xiao Ruoying grafted a plant themselves in the experimental field. According to Zhou Jie, they will see the results in about a month.

Besides the grafting, there was actually another thing Li Lizhi wanted to talk about.

"Young master, what do you think of this chili pepper? Can it be grown in the Tang Dynasty?"

Actually, Li Lizhi can't eat spicy food, but she tried it today.

The weather can still feel chilly at times these days, especially today when Li Lizhi wasn't dressed warmly enough. However, she noticed that she was sweating for quite some time after eating hot pot.

“So I thought this crop might have a miraculous effect in winter,” Li Lizhi said.

Xiao Ran said, "Chili peppers can indeed ward off the cold, but they should be used in moderation. You can't rely on chili peppers alone."

As he spoke, Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Actually, the most important thing is the taste of chili peppers, which many people like."

It's not that the Tang Dynasty is without spiciness, but this spiciness comes from dogwood. Compared to chili peppers, dogwood is not only less spicy, but also has a slightly bitter taste.

Li Lizhi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I understand."

Just as she was about to say something, the little princess's voice rang out.

"Little Bag~"

Xiao Ran looked up and saw the little princess standing at the top of the stairs looking at him.

Yu Shu said from the side, "The young prince wants to sleep with the young master."

Xiao Ran smiled and walked towards the little princess. Li Lizhi was also a little helpless and deliberately said, "How about Sizi sleeps with her older sister?"

The little princess looked at Li Lizhi, then at Xiao Ran, hesitated for a moment, and finally threw herself into Xiao Ran's arms.

Li Lizhi gently poked the little princess's forehead with her finger, "Really, now that you have a little prince, you don't want your older sister anymore?"
