Chapter 591
"Astringent pears are bitter, sour and astringent. We couldn't eat them when we were young." Xiao Ran looked up and saw that the branches were bent, with clumps of pears hanging all over the tree.
"Sizi, do you want to eat it?" Princess Gaoyang asked the little princess.
"Wo Buqi~"
The little princess was very smart.
Princess Yuzhang gloated, "Sizi is young, but not stupid."
"Sizi, give me candy." Princess Gaoyang threw away the astringent pear and walked to the little princess.
The little princess opened her bag and gave Princess Gaoyang a candy.
"Little man, that is a chestnut!" Li Lizhi pointed to a thorn bag.
"Well, that one will take a few months."
"Brother, is it the chestnut from the sugar-fried chestnuts?" Princess Yuzhang asked.
"Well, they are all chestnuts. That one is a Chinese chestnut, which is relatively large, and this one is a hairy chestnut, which is relatively small and fragrant."
"Come back later." Princess Yuzhang wanted to pick chestnuts.
"Okay..."
Xiao Ran started to walk back.
When he got home, he saw his grandfather getting up with his coat on.
"Oh my! You picked so many!" Grandpa was a little surprised.
"A lot, we didn't go much."
Grandma smiled, "Quite fast..."
Xiao Ran took a basin and started to wash the mushrooms.
Grandma gently pinched the potato and peeled off the plastic sheet.
Seeing the wrinkled potato inside.
"Why is this potato wrinkled after being boiled?" Li Lizhi had never seen such a potato.
"This is an old potato. Old potatoes are like this. They have been placed in the cellar for half a year and have sprouted. This is it. This kind of potato has less water and is sweeter." Xiao Ran explained to the princesses.
Most of the potatoes in my hometown are sold. Some seeds are left for people to eat, and some are left to feed livestock such as pigs and cows, which can almost be eaten until the new potatoes grow up the next year.
"That's not right! I remember that it is said on the Internet that potatoes are poisonous when they sprout." Li Lizhi checked the information about potatoes and remembered these.
"It's what the books and the internet say, but we've been eating it since we were young, so isn't it okay?" Xiao Ran didn't understand. He was also confused when he first saw in the book that potatoes can't be eaten after they sprout.
The potato sprouts in the cellar are at least one foot long. If you pull off the sprouts, not only livestock but also people can eat them.
The taste of old and new potatoes that have sprouted is completely different.
"I want seven~" the little princess pointed.
"Grandma, I want this one~"
"Okay, okay, grandma will get it for Mingda."
This basin is also used by people to cook things, not to feed pigs, so it's not dirty.
It's not just the little princess who wants to eat it. The other princesses are almost the same. They have never seen such old potatoes before, let alone eating them.
"Hey!" Princess Yuzhang was delighted, "It's so sweet!"
"That's great~ Pigs also like rice~" the little princess said vaguely.
The little princess was still thinking about the pig food.
"Change your shoes and pants first." If Xiao Ran hadn't reminded her, the princesses would have forgotten.
"I'll go get my pants and shoes." Princess Yuzhang stood up.
Wash the mushrooms, tear them apart, and blanch them again.
The water is light red, and the red mushrooms have now turned into white mushrooms.
There seemed to be a lot before, but there are not many left after blanching.
The little princess ate three potatoes in one go.
After shrinking, they are not big.
They also look shriveled.
"Brother, don't you want to eat them?" Princess Gaoyang pointed at the old potatoes.
"I like to roast them, I think they taste better when roasted, and they taste lighter when boiled."
Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi cooked, and Princess Yuzhang, Princess Gaoyang, and two little princesses accompanied their grandmother to feed the pigs.
The little princess now believes that pig food must be delicious.
"It smells so good!" Looking at the fried mushrooms, Li Lizhi was a little greedy.
This kind of game can only be eaten a few times a year.
"Try it!"
Li Lizhi shook her head, "Let's talk about it later, no more."
Xiao Ran picked up the chopsticks and directly picked up a piece and fed it to Li Lizhi's mouth.
Seeing Xiao Ran like this, Li Lizhi did not refuse.
"Sister, what are you doing~"
Li Lizhi did not expect to be discovered by the little princess. She was really guilty. This was really caught cheating.
"Sister, try it to see if it's salty." Xiao Ran said with a smile.
"Sizi, wash your hands and eat later." Li Lizhi changed the subject.
"Yeah~"
The princesses all liked the mushrooms they picked.
Xiao Ran still only liked to pick them and taste the saltiness.
......
Lizheng Hall
Li Shimin was absent-minded holding a book, "The maids haven't come back for two days."
I'm a little uncomfortable. It was only one day before.
"Let Cuiwei ring the doorbell later!" Empress Changsun suggested, and she also wanted to know what was going on over there.
"Yeah!"
The princesses were living a very comfortable life.
The old potatoes at home were gone,Grandma is going to dig some new potatoes.
The two little princesses followed and were responsible for picking potatoes, getting covered in mud.
The clean shoes that I had just changed in the morning were now covered in mud, and the soles of my feet were even thicker.
The little hands were also covered in mud, but the little princess thought it was fun.
Li Lizhi was distressed when she saw it, but she didn't say anything.
The little princess was obviously having fun.
Princess Gaoyang looked at her phone and then at the cornfield, "Brother, can I eat sugar cane with this?"
"Well... I guess so! It's just not very sweet, and there are only a few that are delicious. Now the corn is not ripe, it would be a waste to cut it." Xiao Ran knew what Princess Gaoyang wanted to do.
"It's still there now, it's still very tender, and it's not delicious." Grandpa also said.
Generally, the corn stalks will only be sweet after the corn begins to mature.
The little princess also looked at the cornfield next to her curiously.
"How about roasting potatoes for lunch?" Xiao Ran took out a wet towel to wipe the little princess' face.
The little girl's face was all stained and there was a lot of mud on her face.
"Yeah~"
Back at the door, Xiao Ran noticed the doorbell in the car was ringing, and took the time to return to Datang.
"Marquis!"
"Cuiwei, is there anything wrong?" Xiao Ran asked.
"His Majesty just sent someone to inquire about the situation of several princes."
"Tell my uncle, everything is fine, don't worry." Xiao Ran took out a tablet, "There are photos in it, let my uncle take a look."
Most of the photos in it were taken by Princess Li Lizhi Yuzhang and Princess Gaoyang, and Xiao Ran summarized the photos taken by several people.
"Okay!"
Grandpa couldn't stay idle, and the firewood at the door needed to be sorted.
The things in the old house also needed to be sorted out, and Xiao Ran and the princesses couldn't help with these things at all.
Li Shimin can use a laptop now.
Seeing the photos inside, he also smiled.
"Sizi, Er Niang had a lot of fun..."
The couple watched with relish.
"This village has a unique flavor and is interesting. I will have a chance to see it later." Li Shimin thought the environment was good.
Lunch was potatoes and buckwheat cakes, which could be eaten with honey.
Princess Gaoyang looked around from time to time while eating honey, a little afraid that the bees would come to find her again.
The little princess broke off a piece of cake and gently dipped it in honey. The sweetness of the honey covered the bitterness of the buckwheat.
