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

"Hehe~ He looks so funny!"

As she spoke, the little princess swept her bangs back and made a funny face, just like in the video.

Although it's a funny pose, the little princess looks adorable when she does it.

"Come on, Sizi, don't move, I'm going to take a picture of you."

Xiao Ran opened his phone's camera, and the little princess, unaware of the wickedness of human nature, simply maintained that expression and didn't move.

Xiao Ran suppressed a laugh and took several photos, even coaxing Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang to take photos with him.

After taking the photos, the little princess sat with Xiao Ran and watched short videos.

The next video is an educational video about various mushrooms.

The little princess pointed to a pink mushroom and said, "Little Panda~ This is so cute~"

Xiao Ran nodded. "It is indeed beautiful."

After watching the video, the little princess suddenly said, "Little Nang-jun~ I want that pink mushroom~"

Xiao Ran quickly said, "You can't eat that pink mushroom, it's poisonous."

The little princess visibly lowered her spirits.

Xiao Ran thought for a moment and said, "How about we eat other colors? There are yellow ones."

The little princess nodded, "Okay~"

If you don't have pink mushrooms, yellow ones will do.

Xiao Ran originally wanted Yu Shu and Xiang Cao to buy them, but since he had nothing to do in the afternoon, he decided to just go out and head to the street where Xiao Ruoying bought the sour plums.

It's called a morning market, but it usually doesn't close until the afternoon. They should be able to buy things if they go now.

So Xiao Ran drove the three little princesses to the market.

As soon as they got out of the car, the three little princesses stared blankly at the bustling market.

Although they had seen more crowded places before, what made the morning market different from other shopping malls was that this place was extremely noisy.

People haggle, pull, argue—you name it. And if you run into someone you know, you might just say hello and chat.

Xiao Ran took the little princess's hand.

"Let's go buy mushrooms."

The little princess came to her senses and gripped Xiao Ran's hand tightly, while holding Princess Chengyang's hand with her left hand, and Xiao Ran holding Princess Gaoyang's hand with his left hand.

After they were all holding hands, the little princess looked up at Xiao Ran and said earnestly, "Little Nangjun~ you have to hold onto my duck~"

Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll hold you back, I won't let you get lost."

This was Xiao Ran's first time at the market, and he didn't really know where any of the stalls were located, so he could only look at each stall one by one.

"Is this lettuce?" Xiao Ran stopped at a stall and asked the owner.

The shopkeeper nodded. "Yes, it's lettuce. Young man, would you like some?"

Xiao Ran thought for a moment, "Give me one."

This lettuce is whole and quite large.

Besides lettuce, the owner also had other dishes on the menu, and Xiao Ran noticed bamboo shoots on the side.

Noticing Xiao Ran's gaze, the shopkeeper quickly said, "I dug these out first thing this morning, they're still fresh."

Xiao Ran ordered some too. After paying the bill, Xiao Ran asked, "Boss, do you know where I can buy mushrooms?"

"know."

The shop owner responded to Xiao Ran, then turned and shouted towards the stalls around the corner.

"Second brother! Someone's buying mushrooms, stand up and let them identify the place."

The man called "Second Brother" stood up, and Xiao Ran saw him at a glance. This older brother was tall and strong, and he stood out from the crowd.

Xiao Ran carried the things and walked over.

"What kind of mushrooms are these?" Xiao Ran asked.

He also only knew a limited number of mushrooms.

The owner pointed to a pile of mushrooms and said, "These are yellow mushrooms, those over there are pine mushrooms, and there are also hazel mushrooms and oyster mushrooms. These are all wild. I picked them from the mountain early this morning."

Xiao Ran looked at the mushrooms. There was some soil on the roots and some leaf fragments stuck to the caps. They weren't very clean, but they looked like the wild mushrooms he had described.

However, whether wild or farmed, it didn't make much difference to Xiao Ran. The only difference was that if he bought the mushrooms, he would have to clean and prepare them himself.

So Xiao Ran looked at the little princess who was squatting down, holding a small mushroom, and said, "Sizi, this mushroom can't be eaten directly. If we buy it, we have to clean it properly. You'll have to help me clean the mushroom."

The little princess nodded, holding the mushroom, "Okay~"

The little princess isn't afraid of chores at all; in fact, in many ways, she sees chores as no different from playing.

Xiao Ran and his group arrived rather late, and there weren't many mushrooms left, so Xiao Ran simply bought them all.

Afterwards, Xiao Ran asked the owner how to process the mushrooms. The owner explained in great detail, even explaining how to deal with the worms inside some mushrooms.

Finally, fearing that Xiao Ran might not like the mushrooms, the shopkeeper specially explained, "These are all wild, so nobody knows what's inside them. However, I didn't bring the really big ones, and these smaller ones usually don't have any bugs."

Xiao Ran nodded and took the pile of things home.

Upon returning home, Yu Shu and Xiang Cao immediately came to greet them.

“These mushrooms are really good,” Vanilla said, looking at the mushrooms.

Xiao Ran said, "The owner said it was wild, but I don't know if it really is."

Yu Shu and Xiang Cao didn't know what cultivated mushrooms should look like, but these mushrooms looked no different from those picked from the mountains.

Yu Shu and Xiangcao poured all the mushrooms into a large basin, then took out two small knives and several handkerchiefs.

Xiao Ran took the things from Yu Shu and Xiang Cao's hands and said, "I'll bring Si Zi and the others."

Yu Shu and Xiang Cao exchanged a glance, and Xiang Cao said, "Young master, let's go together. There are quite a few mushrooms here."

Xiao Ran thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright."

According to the boss, the roots of the mushrooms should be removed with a knife, and they should be cut into small pieces or slices. Any leftovers can be dried in the sun. If they are to be eaten immediately, they should be blanched first, and then washed again before they can be used in cooking.

In general, it will require surgery, and if it were Xiao Ran himself, it would probably take him quite a while to finish.

Xiao Ran sat down on the ground with the three little princesses, and of course, he didn't forget to put something on them for cushioning.

Then, Xiao Ran somewhat clumsily picked up a mushroom, trimmed off part of the stem, and handed it to the little princess, saying, "Si Zi Fan Yin Seventeen, you two take your handkerchiefs and wipe the mushroom clean, okay?"

The little princess picked up a handkerchief, nodded, and said, "Okay~ I'm all for it~"

As she spoke, the little princess began to carefully wipe the mushroom. She wiped it very diligently, and after she finished, she held up the mushroom and showed it off to Xiao Ran, saying, "Little Nang Jun~ Isn't it very clean~"

Xiao Ran pretended to inspect it, then nodded, "Not bad, little Si Zi cleaned it very well!"

The little princess smiled instantly, and contentedly handed the mushroom in her hand to Vanilla, asking Vanilla to cut it open.

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang quickly joined in as well. The three princesses took handkerchiefs and wiped the mushrooms, then placed them in front of the herbs.

This is what Xiao Ruoying and Li Lizhi saw when they arrived.

Xiao Ruoying jokingly asked, "Brother, are you hiring child laborers here?"

Xiao Ran rolled her eyes at Xiao Ruoying, "You're so good at talking, hurry up and come help."

Xiao Ruoying sat down casually, pulling Li Lizhi down with her. Looking at the pot of mushrooms, Xiao Ruoying asked, "What should I do?"

Xiao Ran looked up at the kitchen, "Yu Shu!"

Yu Shu quickly came out of the kitchen.

"What's wrong, young master?"

Xiao Ran pointed at Xiao Ruoying.

"Get her another knife or razor blade."

Yu Shu responded and then took a small knife.

Xiao Ruoying took the knife and cleaned the mushrooms using Xiao Ran's method. Li Lizhi looked at them and asked, "Young master, what about me?"

Xiao Ran thought for a moment and said, "Chang Le, why don't you and Si Zi wipe the mushrooms together?"

Li Lizhi nodded and took a handkerchief to wipe the mushrooms.

Although there are three princesses and only one person, Vanilla, cutting mushrooms, the three princesses are actually very slow. This is because Xiao Ran said to wipe it clean, and the three princesses really wiped it clean, as if there was not a speck of dust left, which naturally slowed them down.

So let's have Li Lizhi go and share the burden.

With more people, the speed increased, so a pot of mushrooms was prepared quickly.

After finishing, Xiao Ran stood up, stretched, and looked at his black fingers.

At this moment, everyone who was picking mushrooms had black fingers, including the three little princesses.

Xiao Ran looked at the little princess and said, "Let's go wash our hands."

The little princess held up her hands and obediently followed Xiao Ran to wash them.

However, the black stain from these mushrooms is very difficult to wash off, especially one type of mushroom that is sticky and impossible to clean off your hands.

Looking at his hands, which looked no different whether they were washed or not, Xiao Ran fell silent.

At this moment, Xiao Ruoying walked over.

"Brother, are you guys not done washing yet?"

Xiao Ran sighed, "This can't be washed clean."

Now Xiao Ran truly regrets it. Why did he have to insist on fresh produce? He could have just bought ready-made ones. Besides, the vegetables in the store aren't necessarily not fresh, and he wouldn't have had to process them himself.

Xiao Ruoying handed Xiao Ran a bath towel.

"Brother, just rub it directly with this, don't rub too hard, just rub it tentatively, don't put in hand sanitizer, just rub it directly."

Xiao Ran tried it with some skepticism, and sure enough, it worked very well; it cleaned up a lot of dirt with just one wipe.

Xiao Ruoying's voice came through: "How is it? Does it work well?"

Xiao Ran nodded. "It works quite well."

Xiao Ran quickly cleaned his own hands and then washed the little princess's hands.

After washing up, the little princess was a little sleepy.

They haven't taken their lunch break yet.

Xiao Ran picked up the little princess and took her upstairs to sleep.

About an hour later, the little princess opened her eyes.

Seeing that Xiao Ran was still asleep, the little princess did not disturb him, but opened the door and went downstairs by herself.

The little princess hadn't finished the lychees that Xiao Ran had peeled for her at noon, so she picked up a lychee and stuffed it into her mouth.

"So sweet~"

As she spoke, the little princess turned on the TV herself.

Everyone is taking a nap now, but the little princess is watching cartoons in the living room by herself, and she's thoroughly enjoying it.

However, soon, because no one gave her any feedback, and no one even answered what she said, the little princess lost some interest in the cartoon.

After thinking for a moment, the little princess ate another lychee.

"Good job, Seven Ducks~"

The little princess lay on the sofa, munching on lychees while shaking her head, completely forgetting her earlier boredom. How could she be bored with such sweet lychees?

"Sizi!"

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang woke up and ran downstairs to see the little princess.

The little princess stood up from the sofa and ran towards Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang.

"Second Sister~ Seventeenth Sister~"

The three princesses successfully reunited, which made the princess even more excited. She kept telling Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang about the plot she had just witnessed.

So the three little princesses sat on the sofa again and watched cartoons together.

When Xiao Ran came down, this was the warm and harmonious scene he saw.

After watching cartoons with the three little princesses for a while, Xiao Ran thought for a moment and took out the puzzle. Xiao Ruoying noticed the commotion and looked over, then saw the puzzle that Xiao Ran had placed on the ground.

"Is this puzzle difficult?" Xiao Ruoying asked.

Xiao Ran glanced at her. "Aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to?"

Xiao Ruoying walked up to Xiao Ran and said, "Why did you have to buy this? Come on, I'll try it too."

Li Lizhi also came over, "You guys are doing a jigsaw puzzle, can I join you?"

A short while later, Princess Yuzhang returned. After washing her hands, she joined in the jigsaw puzzle.

And so, the three little princesses watched cartoons on the sofa, while Xiao Ran and the other three sat on the floor behind the sofa, chatting and doing puzzles, occasionally playfully teasing Xiao Ruoying.
It wasn't until Yu Shu and Xiang Cao said it was time for dinner that they stopped.

Tonight's dinner used ingredients that Xiao Ran bought. Mushrooms were used to stir-fry cabbage and wood ear fungus, lettuce was used to stir-fry meat, bamboo shoots were made into braised bamboo shoots, and some were also used to make soup.

Besides these, there are some other dishes.

Xiao Ran helped the three little princesses wash their hands, and then they ate.

Xiao Ran picked up a piece of mushroom for the little princess.

"Sizi, try this mushroom and see if it's good."

The little princess picked it up with her chopsticks, examined it, and then exclaimed happily, "Little Panda~ It's a yellow mushroom~"

Xiao Ran nodded, "Yes, they are yellow mushrooms."

The little princess happily put the mushroom into her mouth; the mushroom was smooth and had a meaty texture.

"Okay~" The little princess picked up another piece of mushroom. This time, the mushroom tasted different from the previous one, but the little princess thought they were both delicious.

"Sizi, try this."

Xiao Ran placed a piece of lettuce on the little princess's plate.

Looking at the green thing, the little princess ate it all along with her rice. After she finished eating, she asked, "Little Nang-kun~ what is this~?"

Xiao Ran said, "This is lettuce, is it delicious?"

The little princess nodded, "Okay!"

However, more than any of these, the little princess's favorite was still scrambled eggs with tomatoes. (End of Chapter)
