"Okay, Sizi, don't be impatient. This needs to be peeled." Li Lizhi picked up a lychee, peeled it, and handed it to the little princess.
“That’s how you can eat it.”
The little princess stared at the lychees, stretched out her little hand to take the lychees impatiently, and sniffed them.
The little princess was very happy. She had never tasted this flavor before. It was very delicious.
He stretched out his little tongue and licked it, his little face filled with happiness, "Wow~ This is sweet and fragrant~"
Seeing the cute appearance of the little princess, Li Lizhi couldn't help laughing, "Try it!"
Li Lizhi didn’t recognize the popcorn and bananas before and didn’t know if they were edible.
But Li Lizhi knew Li Zhi.
Lychees were grown in Shu and Lingnan during the Tang Dynasty.
But the transportation in this era was too slow, and there were no effective means of preserving food.
It was difficult to transport lychees from Shu and Lingnan to Chang'an City, and most of them would go bad on the way.
The very few that were transported to Chang'an City became extremely expensive due to the huge cost and scarcity.
It’s almost as expensive as gold, but you can’t buy it with money.
Li Lizhi had tasted it once before because it was a tribute.
She never ate it again after that. Because she thought lychees were delicious, Li Lizhi even went to check and found out that lychees were only available in summer.
It is delicious, but difficult to preserve and the transportation conditions are harsh.
Both Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were frugal people and would not advocate such a waste of manpower and material resources.
After that, there was no more tribute like lychees.
Li Lizhi naturally couldn't eat it, and basically had no chance to go to Shu and Lingnan.
It was because she knew about lychees that Li Lizhi was so shocked.
The fact that lychees appeared in Chang'an City and were as expensive as gold is not the point. The point is that they are impossible to have in this season.
This is what Li Lizhi finds most incredible.
Not only did lychees appear, but they also appeared in the middle of winter.
The little princess looked very happy as she quickly finished the lychee in her hand and licked her hands.
"It's so good~" The little princess was very excited to eat lychees for the first time.
"This is lychee!" Li Lizhi picked up one and said with a smile.
"Lychee~beautiful~is a sister~"
The little princess spoke in a baby voice, and it was impossible to tell whether it was Lizhi or Lizhi.
It made Li Lizhi laugh.
"Lychee!" Li Lizhi said word by word.
"Beauty~" The little princess studied very seriously.
Li Lizhi was quite helpless, but she still corrected him seriously, "Sizi, it's litchi, not Lizhi!"
"A few steps~Beautiful~"
"Okay, okay, Lizhi, it's Lizhi!" Li Lizhi stopped worrying about this issue.
Qinglan happened to come over and was a little surprised to see that Li Lizhi and the little princess had both gotten up.
I arrived on time, so it shouldn't be late.
Seeing Qinglan, Li Lizhi said, "Qinglan, bring a plate over here."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Qinglan turned around to prepare things.
Only then did Li Lizhi notice that the little princess was barefoot.
Picking up the little princess, she said, "Sizi, the ground is cold. Wear shoes next time you get out of bed."
"Sister, let's go home~" The little princess listened to the advice.
Li Lizhi squatted beside the bed holding the little princess and picked up the little shoes to put on her.
The little princess stretched out her little hand and took her little shoes, "Sister~ Come here~"
"Good, Sizi is great!" Li Lizhi gave the little princess verbal encouragement.
The little princess quickly put on her shoes by herself.
Only then did Li Lizhi put the little princess down.
The little princess couldn't wait to pick up the lychees on the ground as soon as she came down.
"This is my mother~" She picked up a lychee, and with her other hand, she lifted up her clothes and put the lychee on them.
"This is my sister~"
"This is Grandpa~"
"This is a nest~"
The little princess started to distribute the items while picking them up.
Just like the harvest season, it is a happy time for the little princess.
Li Lizhi did not participate, but just watched the little princess pick up the things. The little princess liked this feeling very much.
I tried one before and loved it.
Soon Qinglan brought a plate.
"Your Highness, the things are here."
"Give it to me!" Li Lizhi took the plate, "Put the sizi in there."
"Yeah~"
The little princess took out the lychees from her clothes pocket one by one and put them on the plate.
Because she was carrying lychees, the little princess's belly was exposed.
Qinglan didn't know what was going on, nor did he know what was on the ground.
"Qinglan, check if there is anything else. Look carefully, this is very important."
"Yes, Your Highness, I understand!"
Qinglan bent down and began to search.
The little princess was also busy, and Li Lizhi was also not idle.
The little princess lay on the ground and said in surprise: "Sister, there is another one~"
One of them went under the cupboard.
"This needs to be moved." Li Lizhi looked at Qinglan, "Come and give me a hand!"
"Okay!" Qinglan and Li Lizhi moved slightly. The little princess was very sensible and quickly picked up the lychees from the corner.
"It's almost gone." After searching for a while and finding nothing, Li Lizhi stopped looking.
Qinglan didn't know lychees. Few people in Chang'an City had seen lychees, and even fewer had eaten them.
"Your Highness, this appeared here?" Qinglan pointed.
"Well, I don't know when it appeared last night. It's lychee." Li Lizhi did not hide it.
"Lychees?" Qinglan had never seen them before, but had read about them in books. "Lychees are delicious, but they're not in season right now, are they?"
