Although there is no chili, the hot pot tastes a bit lacking, but a group of people still enjoyed it.

"Second brother, I have been living in your house this winter. After this meal, I have no appetite when I go home at night."

Li Xueyan breathed a long sigh of relief and touched his belly in an uncivilized manner.

"The delicacies of China are simply unheard of and unseen. Xingxiang only wants to live in the Tang Dynasty forever."

Kujo Anxiang also said a rare word.

"Your Majesty, this hot pot is really extraordinary. Not to mention the wok and spinach, the mutton slices alone, I didn't expect it to be cut so thin, and you can eat it after just rinsing it twice."

Cheng Jingwen was also sweating from the delicious food. She used to feel warm with the briquette stoves placed around her, but now she only feels hot.

I should have known I wouldn't be wearing a woolen sweater underneath.

"After you have had enough wine and food, would you ladies like to play mahjong again?"

Li Kuan looked at Li Xueyan who was eager to try, "It's always a round of money."

"Second brother, can you lend me some money? I didn't bring any money today."

"No problem, but there is no father or son at the poker table. The second brother will have to pay back the money to you."

"Just pay it back, so stingy." Li Xueyan snorted and sat down in the seat where Li Kuan was just now, "I think this position is more popular."

Xingxiang consciously went to help everyone make tea.

…

When Li Xueyan left, she forcefully took away the mahjong she was using today. Fortunately, Li Kuan was prepared and asked the craftsmen in the printing workshop to prepare several pairs in advance.

The winter in Datang was so boring, especially after heavy snowfall, when people would not go out casually.

But when you stay at home, you don’t have a mobile phone or a computer, and you can’t even say that you have an abundance of books. At this time, you are either creating humans, or preparing to create humans.

Now, something as fun as mahjong suddenly appeared. That night, a group of people at the Prince's Mansion in Hejian County worked hard all night long.

Very quickly, like a virus spreading, countless noble families had mahjong in their homes in just a few days.

"bump!"

"eat!"

"Sorry, I was confused!"

A similar sound echoed over Chang'an City.

Li Kuan didn't know whether he had done a good thing or a bad thing.

Will the birth rate in Datang drop due to Mahjong?

…

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has sent people to bring gifts to the palace."

Lan He came to Li Shimin excitedly, holding a gift list in his hand.

"What gift can you show me?"

Li Kuan gave him a gift. Li Shimin seemed indifferent on the surface, but in fact he was very happy.

"Huh?" Li Shimin saw the items on the gift list and had a strange expression on his face, "Fifty courgettes, thirty Kunlun melons, ten kilograms of water spinach, and ten kilograms of spinach."

What kind of gift is this?

In all these years, I have never received such a stingy gift, right?

"Your Majesty, I heard that these vegetables are produced in the greenhouse of Prince Chu's Mansion and are very precious."

"Where do the sunflower seeds I usually eat come from?"

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 are all produced in the Lishan Hot Spring Palace on such a snowy day. There is no way to grow them in ordinary places. Even the vegetables produced in Lishan can only be grown by your Majesty and some nobles in winter.

The varieties are not as rich as those in His Royal Highness the King of Chu’s greenhouse."

"So, ordinary people's homes don't have vegetables to eat in winter?"

"Except for radish, which can be stored for a longer period of time, other vegetables cannot be stored for a long time. Therefore, not to mention ordinary people's homes, even ordinary noble homes, mainly eat meat in winter."

After hearing this, Li Shimin understood that Li Kuan's gift was indeed precious in this snowy day.

Of course, Li Shimin actually doesn't care whether it's precious or not. What's important is his sincerity.

"Send a few courgettes to King Jin and Sizi, and share the others with them."

"Father, who wants to give me a courgette?"

Just then, a little guy popped his head out of the screen.

"Pheasant slave, you are naughty again. Didn't I tell you not to hide in the imperial study room?"

Li Shimin looked at his youngest legitimate son lovingly.

"Father, Sizi came here because of the trouble."

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he pulled out a doll-like little girl from behind, who looked like she might not even be two years old.

"Father!"

"Sir, come, come to your father."

Li Shimin had a smile on his face. He looked at Si Zi running over, hugged her and teased her little face with his beard stubble.

If outsiders saw Li Shimin's appearance, they would definitely be shocked.

But Lan He is used to it.

People from other dynasties thought that Li Shimin's favorite son was Li Tai. In fact, everyone in the Tai Chi Palace knew that if one had to decide which child Li Shimin loved the most, it had to be King Li Zhi of Jin and Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang.

If we still have to decide who is better among them, it is Princess Jinyang whose nickname is Sizi who wins.

Historically, when Empress Changsun died, Sizi was still young, so Li Shimin directly broke the emperor's convention and raised the daughter himself.

"Father, courgette, Si Zi wants to eat courgette?"

Even though the little girl is less than two years old, she has no problem with simple speech and communication.

"Okay, okay! Eat courgette."

Without Li Shimin's instructions, Lan He quickly asked someone to fetch the things.

"Father, I have recently heard that many people are discussing the greenhouse at my second brother's house. Can I go out and have a look?"

"I want to play too."

Seeing his daughter in his arms making noises about going out to play, Li Shimin hesitated for a moment.

But considering that we were going to the Prince of Chu's Mansion, we finally agreed.

"Okay, Father agreed, and I will have someone take you there tomorrow."

…

In the past few days, Prince Chu's Mansion has become very lively. Those who are well-informed know that Li Kuanzheng's greenhouse really grew vegetables in the snowy weather. However, there are only a few greenhouses in total, and the vegetables grown are distributed here.

I give them away there, but there is basically not much left.

So Li Kuan naturally didn't actually sell it.

No matter how expensive it is, how much money can you make?

Not only could he be impeached, but he would also offend others.

However, as a result, Cheng Chumo, Yu Chihuan, and Fang Yiai came over from time to time to catch the autumn wind.

Li Xueyan and Cheng Jingwen were no exception, but one went there for the food and the other for...

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 a standard part of parties. A group of people opened two tables and had a great time playing.

"Your Majesty, there are guests visiting outside."

"I didn't see that the king was busy, no see!"

Li Kuan felt that there was no one in Chang'an City that he could not help but refuse, so he refused directly.
