Although there were some unexpected situations, everyone was still very happy and had a good harvest.
There is no shortage of chestnuts this season, as long as you are willing to pick them.
When they returned home, they saw Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun, and grandparents all standing by the stove.
"Grandma, here I come~" the little princess trotted over.
"Well, that's a lot!" Li Shimin saw the full bamboo basket.
"Hmm, was it fun?"
Grandma looked at the little princess.
"Hmmmm~ Fun~"
Xiao Ran put down his things and went to find some ointment for Princess Gaoyang to apply on the back of her hand.
Empress Changsun and others also knew that Princess Gaoyang had been hit, and they were all comforting Princess Gaoyang.
The little princess excitedly told Empress Changsun and Li Shimin about picking chestnuts.
I think this kind of thing is very interesting, mainly because I have never experienced it before, so it feels new and fun.
"Xiaoran, the potatoes in the pot are almost done, open it and take a look."
After hearing what grandma said, Xiao Ran opened the pressure cooker.
Hot steam suddenly hit Xiao Ran in the face. He turned his head to avoid it and looked again. He found that it was potatoes, old potatoes at that.
"Grandma, this is an old potato?"
"Really~" The little princess who was originally talking to Empress Changsun immediately caught the key words.
The little princess ran to Xiao Ran and looked into the pressure cooker. She was surprised to find that it was full of wrinkled old potatoes.
"Wow~ It's a sweet potato~" The little princess wanted to reach out and poke it.
Xiao Ran quickly stopped the little princess, "Mingda, this is hot, don't touch it."
"Old Potato, where did grandma get this?" Princess Yuzhang knew very well that it was definitely no longer in her grandparents' home, so it must have come from somewhere else.
"Next door, Xiaoran's second grandfather left quite a few. Later, the pigs and cattle were sold because they were expensive. We couldn't finish the potatoes, so we still have some..."
Now the little princess was happy.
Seeing how the little princess liked it, Li Shimin also wanted to try it.
I cooked a lot. I'll eat some potatoes first and then have breakfast later.
"Grandpa, is it a good seven-duck tie?" The little princess asked Li Shimin while holding a potato.
"Hmm, delicious." Li Shimin looked at the thing in his hand. He didn't expect that potatoes would become like this after being stored for a long time.
Li Shimin had talked a lot with his grandfather before, including how to preserve potatoes.
There were some things that Li Shimin couldn't understand because his grandfather spoke in dialect, and there were some things that Li Shimin had never seen before and couldn't understand.
Li Shimin felt that the old man was older and more experienced, and knew many things more in detail than Xiao Ran.
This is indeed the case.
Although she ate potatoes, the little princess could also eat some bacon or something for breakfast.
The potatoes are just to fill the stomach and do not affect the little princess's breakfast at all.
The breakfast time is different from that in the ancient city and the Tang Dynasty, but the princesses are used to it.
The weather was clear, and a few people were strolling outside the door.
The plums were ripe and a thick layer of them had fallen to the ground.
It tastes much sweeter now.
The little princess also saw a kind of black cherry next to it. It was not quite the same as a cherry, but very similar. The old man said it was a black cherry. It was not very sweet, but not sour either. It was considered average. In an era when people could not afford other fruits, it was a very good wild fruit.
It is much better than the cherry before the astringent pear.
Xiao Ran thought of other wild fruits nearby, which were also available in this season.
Take the two little princesses and Princess Gaoyang to have a look.
Princess Gaoyang's hands look no different now.
I am a person who can never sit still.
Xiao Ran saw the dense vines and said, "Seventeen, you watch over Mingda's second sister. I'll go up and take a look."
"Is this little bag okay?" The little princess looked up, but there were only leaves on it, nothing else.
There were dense vines wrapped around a tree, and what Xiao Ran was looking for was inside the vines.
"Well, maybe there is. I'll go and take a look." Xiao Ran grabbed the branch and climbed up easily.
This in itself is not high.
"Brother, you are so awesome!" Princess Chengyang thought Xiao Ran was very capable.
"Hmmmm~"
The little princess absolutely agreed with praising Xiao Ran.
This is Xiao Ran’s number one fan girl.
"Brother, is there any?" Princess Gaoyang looked up at the tree.
Xiao Ran turned around, holding a long fruit in his hand, "Yes, there are several wax gourds, this one is sweet and pretty good."
"Wow~ It's tied well~" the little princess clapped her hands excitedly.
I think Xiao Ran is amazing for finding something delicious.
Hearing that it was sweet, the two little princesses wanted to try it.
Xiao Ran first put them in his pocket and picked all the ripe ones.
There were two more that formed a pair, also ripe and cracked.
Xiao Ran didn't put it in his pocket, but broke the vine together and bit it in his mouth.
Xiao Ran handed the well-cooked ones to the two little princesses, "Second sister Mingda, have a try. Seventeen, there's some for you, too."
Xiao Ran took one out of his pocket and gave it to Princess Chengyang.
Xiao Ran gently broke it open and handed it to the little princess, "Eat the flesh inside, it's very sweet. Don't eat the seeds, just suck on it."
The seeds are harmless, they are just seeds.
The little princess took a bite and said, "Sweet~ This one is also good~"
This is my first time eating wax gourd.
The little princess handed it to Xiao Ran and asked him to try it too.
Xiao Ran hasn't eaten this kind of thing for many years.
Although it is now cultivated artificially and can be purchased online, I always feel that it is not as good as the wild ones.
Maybe I've grown up and don't care about this kind of thing anymore.
When I was a child, I would run to see the wax gourd when it bloomed, and I would watch it many times when it bore fruit.
I picked them when I felt they were almost ripe. There were a lot of children nearby, and if I was slow, I wouldn't know who would pick them.
"Okay, let's go back!" Xiao Ran walked back with the two little princesses.
The children nearby have grown up and left the village, so no one picks this kind of thing anymore.
There is no longer the feeling of anticipation that I had before.
The little princess walked while sucking the wax gourd.
It keeps spitting out seeds.
When I walked to the door, I saw Li Lizhi, Princess Yuzhang and others accompanying Li Shimin's Empress Zhangsun and two old people at the door.
Li Shimin was chatting enthusiastically with his grandfather, while Princess Yuzhang and Li Lizhi were accompanying Empress Changsun and grandmother.
"Sizi, what delicious food do you want to eat?" Princess Yuzhang looked at the wax melon in the little princess's hand.
Princess Chengyang handed hers to Princess Yuzhang and said, "This is wax gourd. It's sweet and delicious."
"Hmmmm~"
"Brother, is there any more?" Princess Yuzhang also wanted to try it. The little princess ate it so deliciously.
"Yes, some..." Xiao Ran took out a few from his pocket and asked Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang to taste them.
Grandma didn’t want it. Old people generally don’t want these things. I don’t know if she doesn’t want them or wants to give them to others.
Empress Changsun also ate a little and asked Princess Chengyang to pass it to Li Shimin to try.
“This one is sweet, but it’s not quite right…”
Li Shimin felt that there was too little flesh and not much edible part.
This kind of wild one is not very big in size, and a large part of it is seeds.
