Chapter 174: New Entertainment in Chang'an City
Although there is no chili, this hot pot tastes a little less, but the group of people still eat it very happily.
"Second brother, I will spend this winter in your house, and after eating this meal, I will have no appetite when I go back at night."
Li Xueyan breathed a long sigh of relief and touched her stomach very ungently.
"Shangguo cuisine is simply unheard of, unseen, Xingxiang only wants to live in Datang for a long time in this life."
Kujou Kyoka also said a rare word.
"Lord Wang, this hot pot is indeed very unusual. Not to mention the wead and pineapple, just the mutton slices, I didn't expect it to be so thin, and you can eat it with two gentle shabubus. ”
Cheng Jingwen also ate fragrant sweat, and felt that there was a honeycomb coal stove around her, which was very warm, but now there is only heat left.
I knew I didn't wear a woolen sweater inside.
"Full of wine and food, do you want to play mahjong again?"
Li Kuan looked at Li Xueyan, who was eager to try, "It's always a game of money." ”
"Second brother, can you lend me some money, I didn't bring any money today."
"No problem, but there is no father and son at the poker table, and the second brother is looking for you to pay it back."
"It's just going back, so stingy." Li Xueyan snorted and sat down in Li Kuan's position just now, "I think this position is more vigorous." ”
Xingxiang consciously went to help everyone make tea.
……
When Li Xueyan left, she took away the mahjong she used today, but fortunately, Li Kuan had prepared for it and asked the craftsmen of the printing workshop to prepare several pairs in advance.
The winter in Datang is too boring, especially after heavy snowfall, and idlers will not go out casually.
And staying at home, without mobile phones or computers, even books are not abundant, at this time either to create people, or to prepare to create people.
Now that there is such a fun thing as mahjong suddenly, there is a group of people in the palace of Hejian County who have been fighting all night that night.
Soon, just like the spread of the virus, countless noble families added mahjong in just a few days.
"Bump!"
"Eat!"
"I'm sorry, I'm!"
Similar voices echoed over Chang'an City.
Li Kuan didn't know if he had done a good thing or a bad thing.
Will Datang's birth rate decline because of mahjong?
……
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has sent someone to send a gift into the palace."
Lan He came to Li Shimin's side excitedly, still holding a gift slip in his hand.
"What kind of gift, for me?"
Li Kuan gave himself a gift, Li Shimin didn't care on the surface, but he was actually very happy.
"Huh?" Li Shimin saw the items on the gift list, and a strange expression appeared on his face, "Fifty courgettes, thirty Kunlun melons, ten catties of wead, and ten catties of pineapple." ”
What kind of gift is this?
I've never received such a stingy gift for so many years, right?
"Your Majesty, I heard that these vegetables are all from the greenhouse of the Chu Palace, and they are very precious."
"Where are all the sunflower vegetables I usually eat?"
Li Shimin felt that there might be something he had overlooked, so he couldn't help but ask Lan He first.
"Your Majesty, the vegetables in the palace, on such a snowy day, are all produced in the Lishan Hot Spring Palace, and there is no way to grow them in ordinary places; Even the vegetables produced in Lishan can only be eaten by His Majesty and some nobles in winter, and the varieties are not as rich as those in the greenhouse of His Royal Highness the King of Chu. ”
"So, ordinary people don't have vegetables to eat in winter at home?"
"Except for laiphane, which can be stored for a longer time, other vegetables can't be stored for a long time, so don't talk about ordinary people's homes, even ordinary nobles' homes, they mainly eat meat in winter."
After hearing this, Li Shimin understood that Li Kuan's gift was precious on this snowy day.
Of course, whether it is precious or not, in fact, Li Shimin doesn't care, the important thing is a piece of heart.
"Send a few courgettes to King Jin and his son, and take the rest to share them."
"Father, who wants to send me a courgette?"
Just then, a little guy poked his head out of the screen.
"Pheasant slave, you're naughty again, didn't I say you can't hide in the imperial study?"
Li Shimin looked at his youngest sister-in-law fondly.
"Father, it's my son who came here."
After Li Zhi finished speaking, he pulled out a little girl like a doll from behind, who looked like she might not be two years old.
"Father!"
"Son, come, come to my father."
Li Shimin showed a smile on his face, looked at the son who was trotting over, hugged her, and teased her little face with stubble.
If outsiders see Li Shimin's appearance, they will definitely be surprised.
But Lan He is used to it.
People in foreign dynasties think that Li Shimin's favorite son is Li Tai, but in fact, everyone in the Taiji Palace knows that if you have to judge which child Li Shimin favors the most, it must belong to Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang.
If there is one more difference between them, it is Princess Jinyang, who is a little name, has won.
In history, when Empress Changsun died, her son-in-law was still young, and Li Shimin directly broke the emperor's convention and raised this daughter himself.
"Father, courgette, son-in-law wants to eat courgette?"
Don't look at the little girl, who is less than two years old, there is no problem with simple speech and communication.
"Good, good! Eat courgette. ”
Without Li Shimin's instructions, Lan He hurriedly called someone to fetch the things.
"Father, my son has heard a lot of people discussing the conservatory in the second brother's house recently, can I go out and have a look?"
"I'm going to play too."
Seeing his daughter who was making a fuss in his arms to go out to play, Li Shimin hesitated slightly.
However, considering that I went to the Chu Palace, I finally agreed.
"Okay, my father agreed, and I will let someone take you there tomorrow."
……
In the past few days, the Chu Wangfu has become very lively, and everyone who is well-informed knows that Li Kuan's greenhouse really grows vegetables on a snowy day, but there are only a few greenhouses in total, and the vegetables grown are sent here and there, and there is basically not much left.
So Li Kuan naturally didn't really take it out and sell it.
No matter how expensive it is, how much money can it have?
If you don't say anything, you will be impeached, and you will offend people.
However, in this way, Cheng Chumo, Wei Chihuan, and Fang Yiai came over every once in a while to fight the autumn breeze.
Li Xueyan and Cheng Jingwen are naturally no exception, but one is rushing to eat, and the other is rushing to ......
Fortunately, everyone has known each other since childhood, and although there are differences between men and women, they are not too restrictive.
"Eighty thousand!"
"Whiteboard!"
"Bump!"
Mahjong has become the standard for parties, and a group of people opened two tables and had a lot of fun.
"Lord Wang, there are guests visiting outside."
"I didn't see that this king was busy, I don't see!"
Li Kuan felt that there should be no one in Chang'an City who he had to see, so he directly refused.
"Lord Wang, the guests are escorted by Zuo Qianniuwei, although the guards didn't say who was in the carriage, do you think it's better for you to see it?"
