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

Chapter 349 Growing Sweet Potatoes in the Tang Dynasty!
After saying this, Xiao Ran brought up another topic.

"Now that the sweet potatoes can be planted, I have already chosen the planting site. Your Highness, why don't you send someone with me to take a look?"

Li Chengqian nodded. This concerns people's livelihood, and it's better to do it sooner rather than later.

After thinking about it, Li Chengqian called upon the Sinong who had previously been in charge of potatoes.

Although potatoes and sweet potatoes are different, the difference is not significant, and the agricultural official already has experience with this.

Xiao Ran explained the key points of planting sweet potatoes to Si Nong, and then let him take people to plant them.

Si Nong led his men to sow seeds, while Xiao Ran went to pick up the little princess from school.

"Little Nang-jun~" The little princess's tone was still as lively as ever.

Xiao Ran caught the little princess who ran over, and then led a group of people back to the villa.

Today was a homework-free afternoon because the three little princesses had already finished their homework by noon.

"Little Nangjun~ play with cars~" The little princess was still thinking about her toy cars.

Xiao Ran brought the toy car to the little princess and instructed her, "Don't be too loud, or your throat will feel uncomfortable, understand?"

The little princess nodded. She had been very careful today, even when she was happy, she laughed softly. Because of this, Li Ming and Li Fu thought she was unhappy.

The three little princesses played with toy cars, while Xiao Ran went upstairs.

Although Li Chengqian is now in charge of most things, there are still some matters that he needs to discuss with Li Shimin, especially the sweet potato matter, which Li Shimin also values ​​highly.

"Your Majesty, the sweet potatoes have already been planted today, in the experimental field near the university town."

Li Shimin thought for a moment and then asked, "How many sweet potato vines are there?"

Xiao Ran hadn't really noticed this. Although he was there when the seedlings were being cultivated, it didn't mean that all the seedlings would survive, but he figured there wouldn't be too many losses.

So Xiao Ran said, "That should be enough to fill that plot of land."

Li Shimin said, "That's good. As for the potatoes, I think it would be better to plant them on the imperial estate, where there is more space."

Xiao Ran nodded. "That works too."

Speaking of this, Xiao Ran suddenly remembered that he hadn't heard back from the person who delivered the potatoes, so he went downstairs.

Downstairs, the three little princesses had already put their toy cars aside and were sitting on the sofa watching cartoons, with Xiao Ruoying right next to them.

Xiao Ran saw Xiao Ruoying and asked, "What about contacting those potato sellers, as we talked about last time?"

Xiao Ruoying slapped her forehead, "I've been so busy lately, I forgot. They should be ready by now, just waiting for us to order the goods."

Xiao Ran nodded, "Then let him send it over as soon as possible, today is fine too."

If that's the case, the Tang Dynasty will probably be quite busy. However, they could hire some old farmers, who are much better at farming than the guards.

Xiao Ruoying responded and went to contact the person.

When she came back after making the call, she brought up the topic of the plastic running track.

"The plastic track has already been delivered. Brother, why don't you go with the potato delivery team and deliver the stuff we need for the plastic track as well?"

Xiao Ran asked in confusion, "Aren't you coming with me?"

Xiao Ruoying said, "Of course I want to go too! I'm starting to suspect that you're making me learn instead of you, just so you can slack off."

Xiao Ran touched his nose and said without any guilt, "How could that be? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Xiao Ruoying narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Ran, her eyes conveying two words: You are!

Xiao Ran coughed twice, trying to distract himself, when his phone rang.

"Um, I need to take this call first."

As he spoke, Xiao Ran took out his phone and saw that the caller was Li Yuan.

Xiao Ran answered the video call and saw Li Yuan's face.

I don't know if he's having a good time outside, but although Li Yuan seems to be a bit darker and thinner than before, he looks to be in better spirits than before.

Zhao Jieyu, who was behind him, also looked much younger, and she seemed more lively than before, instead of being as taciturn as she had been.

It seems they all gained a lot from this trip.

"Grandpa," Xiao Ran called out to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey Ran, how have you been lately?"

Xiao Ran smiled and walked to the sofa to sit down.

"Still the same, taking Sizi and the others to school every day, and also busy with things back in the Tang Dynasty."

Then, Xiao Ran told Li Yuan about the recent events.

Li Yuan nodded and said with a smile, "I'm at the zoo now. There are many species here that I've never seen before, so I thought I'd let you see them too. Where are Sizi and the others?"

At this moment, the little princess also heard the sound and looked over.

Xiao Ran tilted his phone to the side, and the little princess saw Li Yuan on the screen.

"Grandpa~"

Li Yuan replied with a smile, "Does Sizi miss his grandfather?"

The little princess nodded vigorously, "I want spicy food!"

Li Yuan smiled again.

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang also greeted Li Yuan, who smiled and said, "You are all good children. Come, let your grandfather show you something fun."

As he spoke, Li Yuan switched the camera to a rear view, where he saw red-crowned cranes walking around the park, occasionally flapping their wings.

"Wow~" the little princess exclaimed, reaching out her little hand to touch the phone, trying to touch the red-crowned crane inside.

Li Yuan's voice came: "And there's more, there are tigers over there."

"Tiger~" the little princess imitated Li Yuan's speech.

Li Yuan walked all the way to the tiger enclosure, but the tiger was sleeping and didn't move at all.

Li Yuan chatted with the others for a couple more minutes through the screen before hanging up.

After the call ended, the little princess was still a little reluctant to leave.

"Little Nang-kun~ I want a tiger duck~"

Xiao Ran was both amused and exasperated. "You can't accept that!"

The little princess was visibly disappointed. "Okay, okay~"

However, Xiao Ran remembered that he had said he would take them to the zoo to see the pandas.

So he said, "But we can also go to the zoo. Let's go this weekend, okay?"

The little princess instantly brightened up and nodded with sparkling eyes.

After coaxing the little princess, Xiao Ran played with her puzzles for a while. The little princess really liked puzzles because she felt a sense of accomplishment every time she finished one.

Xiao Ran would wait until the little princess finished assembling the puzzle before taking it to be framed.

We didn't buy many puzzles originally, so this is the last one the little princess has now.

"Dinner's ready!" Xiao Ruoying called out in their direction.

Looking at the completed puzzle, Xiao Ran took the little princess's hand and led them to wash their hands before having dinner.

This meal was still very light, and the little princess was already starting to miss the previous meals.

"Little Nangjun~ I miss you so much~"

Xiao Ran put a green bean into her bowl.

"Sweetie, we'll eat when your throat feels better."

The little princess nodded, munching on a green bean. After dinner, Xiao Ran took the three little princesses for a walk in the courtyard.

He walked in front, and the three little princesses followed behind one after another, like a mother hen leading a brood of chicks.

Now, in the courtyard, there is a corner planted with various trees, arranged in a staggered but not messy manner. This was all agreed upon when they were planted, and now these trees have grown quite a bit.

Besides that, there were the grafted flowers that Xiao Ruoying and Li Lizhi planted by the wall.

The rose vines have climbed quite a bit more.

The only thing that seemed out of place in the whole courtyard was that peony. It was the only flower there, and it looked rather lonely.

Throughout the villa's layout, there is a path leading from the main gate to the villa, with lawns on both sides. Trees are planted in the lower left corner, and roses are hung on the walls on both sides.

On the left, near the entrance, is that peony flower.

On the right, there were two rocking chairs and a stool under the window, and a coffee table in the middle. There was nothing else there.

Xiao Ran led the little princesses around twice, and after entering the house, he said to Xiao Ruoying, "Why don't we find some flowers and plant them on both sides of this road?"

Xiao Ruoying certainly had no objections, and she figured it would look quite beautiful when it bloomed, but she just didn't have the time right now.

"Let's talk about it when we have time," Xiao Ran said.

After walking around the courtyard, the three little princesses went to watch cartoons, while Xiao Ran went to the Tang Dynasty.

They eat early, so it's still early.

The potatoes and the materials needed for the plastic running track have all arrived.

Xiao Ran went to find Li Chengqian first.

Li Chengqian hadn't had dinner yet at this time.

"Xiao Langjun."

Xiao Ran said, "The potatoes have arrived. His Majesty said they will be planted on the imperial estate. I will transport the potatoes over now. Have someone pick them up."

Li Chengqian nodded and immediately sent people to find the person.

Xiao Ran then returned to the villa and led a group of people to throw potatoes.

Even Li Tai and Li Ke came to help.

After everything was delivered, Xiao Ran took the little princess to wash up and then went to bed.

He didn't get much exercise today and fell asleep quickly.

Meanwhile, on the Tang side, even though the goods had already been transported over, they did not make any rash moves, waiting to discuss everything the next day.

The next day, Xiao Ran woke up the little princess in the morning and then took her to have breakfast.

The little princess ate her fill of a bowl of plain porridge and a few pastries.

When they arrived at the kindergarten gate, the little princess waved to Xiao Ran.

"Little Nangjun is waiting for its mate~"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Xiao Ran had quite a few things to do today, but fortunately he didn't have to do them himself.

Si Nong had experience in potato cultivation and took the old farmer to Huangzhuang.

The plastic running track was built by Xiao Ruoying and her team.

Xiao Ran also went to check on the sweet potatoes. After yesterday afternoon, they had all been planted, but the survival rate was still uncertain. Although the potato yield was very good, the sweet potato yield was still hard to predict because sweet potatoes are more susceptible to disease than potatoes.

Everything was finally on track, and Xiao Ran was able to steal a few moments of leisure from his busy schedule.

So Xiao Ran went to pick up the little princess, and even sat down to listen in on her afternoon class, which made the little princess very happy.

After a day of studying, it was soon time to go home.

Xiao Ran took the three little princesses home.

Li Lizhi and Xiao Ruoying did not return today.

One person needs to check the plastic track from time to time, while the other is more concerned about potatoes and sweet potatoes.

At the same time, Li Chengqian also spread rumors about potatoes, saying that they could be planted by this time next year.

Spring planting has already begun, so there's definitely no way to sow seeds now.

At the villa, Xiao Ran was showing the three little princesses the goldfish.

The goldfish that Xiao Ran bought had grown a bit. The little princess squatted next to the fish tank, her eyes fixed on the goldfish swimming around, like a kitten attracted by a cat toy.

The three little princesses don't need to go to school tomorrow, because they have the second day off.

"Little Nangjun~ Kang Yangyang Duck~" The little princess stared at the goldfish swimming for a while, then wanted to watch cartoons.

Xiao Ran naturally complied with her, and then turned on the TV.

The three little princesses have already watched more than half of the entire animated film.

Watching the sheep outwit and outmaneuver each other on TV, the little princess laughed happily.

Xiao Ran gently patted the little princess.

"Sizi, you can't laugh so loudly."

The little princess suddenly came to her senses and quickly covered her mouth with both hands.

Xiao Ran was amused by her reaction.

"Alright, Sizi, let's continue watching."

The little princess nodded and began watching the cartoon intently.

Xiao Ran, on the other hand, saw something good on his phone.

The puzzle was sold out yesterday, so Xiao Ran decided to buy another one. This time, he would buy a more difficult one, so he chose "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

"Little darling~ I'm so hungry~" The little princess touched her tummy.

Xiao Ran snapped out of his daze and headed towards the kitchen, where Xiangcao and Yushu were busy at work.

"Is the food ready?" Xiao Ran asked.

Yu Shu quickly replied, "It's all better now, young master."

Xiao Ran nodded and led the three little princesses to the dining table. Yu Shu and Xiang Cao were also serving food, or more accurately, noodles.

Eating rice all the time can get boring, so it's best to alternate it with noodles.

However, the three little princesses can't eat spicy food or even too salty food, so it's difficult to make the toppings. In the end, Yu Shu and Xiangcao could only make a light version of the toppings.

It's so light that you can eat it on its own without any problem.

Looking at the bowl of noodles in front of him, which was utterly unappetizing, Xiao Ran sighed and looked at the little princess.

Children generally prefer milder flavors, so the little princess accepted it well.

Although it certainly wasn't that delicious, the little princess still ate it with great relish.

Using chopsticks to pick up the noodles, the little princess moved her mouth and sucked the noodles in, then chewed and swallowed them.

Xiao Ran, who originally had little appetite, was persuaded to finish the noodles in his bowl.

The little princess is fine with eating, but not with other things.

The little princess glanced at the spicy snack in her hand, then looked up at Xiao Ran.

"Little Nang-kun~ I only have seven ducks~"

Xiao Ran shook his head. "No, your throat isn't better yet."

The little princess pouted, looked at the spicy snack in her hand, and sighed.
