Chapter 19: Finally Home (Favorite, Recommended)
It may be that the reason for learning that he can go home for the New Year is that the merchant was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night, and he got up too early in the morning, and the carriage had just walked for a short while, and the merchant yawned one after another in the rickety carriage.

Li Mo looked at the sleepy appearance of the merchant with tears in his eyes amusedly, and tugged at her little nose lovingly.
"It's warm in this car, you can sleep first! I'll call you when you get to the place. ”
"Ming'er Chinese New Year's Eve! I need to go to my brother's! Don't take me to any place like the Prince's Garden! ”
Shang Shang glanced at Li Mo vigilantly, this guy has a criminal record, if he falls asleep, it is hard to guarantee that he will not take her to another place, this is a big New Year! She must live with her brothers!
took the handkerchief in the hand of the merchant and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, Li Mo smiled softly, as long as the merchant was by his side, she would be happy wherever she went! What's more, staying alone in the prince's palace to keep the New Year doesn't necessarily make him happier.
"Sleep in peace! When you get to the kitchen, I'll call you! ”
Li Mo tightened his arms, hugged the merchants, and whispered to the guards who drove the car to choose a smoother place to go, and then stopped talking.
The merchant tilted his head and looked at Li Mo for a long time, a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he fell asleep peacefully.
The inconspicuous carriage made its way along the wide Suzaku Street, but in a moment it turned around the corner of West Street, and was no longer visible behind the heavy buildings.
The two bright yellow figures on the high tower of the Vermilion Bird Gate waited until the carriage turned around the corner of the west street before turning around and getting off the tower.
The branch of Kitchen Road in Chang'an City is next door to Xishi Cyclamen. At first, the bearded customer had a lot of good things to say to the original owner, and when he finally bought the land, he almost doubled the price.
However, in just two months, the benefits of this high-priced face have been revealed.
Not to mention the dense flow of people in the place where this land is located, there are also some big families with thousands of dollars in their pockets, and it is also close to the mansions of those dignitaries and nobles in the imperial city.
This is still the discounted price given by the old customer with the discount card issued by the kitchen, if you want to collect it according to the original price, you can't get more than 240 taels! When the merchant heard about it, he couldn't help but sigh: No wonder people refuse to sell, it is really a treasure of feng shui for gathering wealth!
Early in the morning of the 29th, Su Minzhi arranged for the kitchen to steam the pasta. All kinds of steamed buns and dim sum to eat during the New Year are indispensable. According to the rules, the first day of the new year does not eat fresh food, and all food is left over on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, taking the meaning of surplus every year. Therefore, Song's mother also got up early in the morning and watched the apprentices in the back kitchen prepare Chinese New Year's Eve New Year's banquet at night.
When he was in Luoyang, Song's mother's son and daughter-in-law saw that the old lady was valued by the owner, and the monthly salary was rich, so they salivated and wanted to paste it, but Song's mother was beaten and scolded with a broom and driven out.
In order to avoid her unfilial children and grandchildren, Mother Song invited herself to Chang'an. However, now she is much more leisurely, just watch in the back kitchen, and give a little pointer, unless there is a real guest coming, otherwise, she will not touch the pot and spoon.
When the carriage stopped at the door of the kitchen road, Su Minzhi was settling accounts in the lobby, calculating the surplus for the year. Looking at the large string of numbers in the account book, the smile on Su Minzhi's face became more and more obvious, and the business of the kitchen road was getting better and better!
Li Mo looked at the merchant who was sleeping soundly in his arms, stretched out his hand and gently stroked her cheek, and couldn't bear to wake her up. After thinking about it, he pulled over the big fashion on the chair on the side, covered the merchant in his head, and with a lot of effort, he hugged the person who was originally pillowed on his lap in his arms, and the fluffy big fashion covered his head to his feet, like a warm big quilt. The merchant squirmed comfortably, and then stopped moving.
Li Mo knocked lightly on the carriage board, the guard who was driving the car opened the door knowingly, Li Mo got out of the carriage with the merchant in his arms, and walked into the door of the kitchen road with a light step. Without waiting for Su Minzhi to react, he walked through the lobby and into the backyard.
The place I bought was a boxy yard, and although the storefront two floors took up most of the space, the area of the backyard was still not small.
Next to the back door of the store, there is a small two-story building facing north and south, where the merchant and his two brothers, as well as Green Sleeves and Song Ma, live. The merchant's room was arranged in the middle of the second floor, with green sleeves on one side and Su Minzhi on the other, the eldest brother Su Ruizhi lived downstairs because of his bad legs, Song Ma also lived downstairs because she couldn't bear to climb the stairs, and the rest of the guys in the store were all locals in Chang'an, and they went home after work, and they were the only five people who really lived in the store.
When Su Min followed Li Mo into the backyard, he happened to see the corner of Li Mo's cloak flashing at the corner of the stairs in the attic.
Green Sleeves, who was about to go downstairs, collided with Li Mo, and saw him walking straight to the merchant's room with a person in his hand, and hurriedly followed behind him. Because the businessman was covered with a big fashion, he couldn't see who it was, but he was so anxious that his face was red, and he didn't know what Li Mo was making this about.
When he saw Li Mo carefully put the merchant on the bed in the inner room, he saw that it was his own girl, so he hurriedly returned to his house after being happy, opened the charcoal stove sealed in the corner of the house, picked out two pieces of silver charcoal that was burning vigorously, put them in the hand stove, wrapped them in a handkerchief, ran to the merchant's house and stuffed them under her quilt, and carefully baked them.
Li Mo glanced at the green sleeves approvingly. This little girl has some eyes and a good temperament, but it is not in vain that businessmen have always taken her very seriously for so many years.
Helped Shang Shang fold the quilt, and touched her hand again, it was not cold, seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Li Mo turned around and walked out of the house, and motioned to the green sleeves to look at Shang Shang in the house.
Su Minzhi, who was outside the house, knew that his sister was back, and rubbed his hands happily. It's rare for the sister to come back to keep the New Year, and when they worship their ancestors on the first day of the new year, the three of their brothers and sisters are finally complete!
When the merchant woke up, it was already past lunchtime. Looking at the autumn fragrant tent in front of him, he was stunned for a long time before he realized that he was in his room, but when he looked around, Li Mo's shadow was gone, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Did he send himself to the kitchen and leave?
lifted the quilt and went down to the ground, and the merchant realized that he was sleeping in a kimono, presumably Li Mo didn't want to wake her up, so he directly hugged her, which was frustrating to think about.
This is the legendary princess hug! Such a romantic thing was actually slept by myself like this!
"Sister woke up? Hungry! There is plum blossom cake here, my sister will eat two bites of the pad first, and the green sleeves will serve you something to eat. ”
Green Sleeves pushed the door and came in and saw the merchant sitting on the edge of the bed with a tangled face, thinking that she was hungry, so she hurriedly brought the refreshments on the table and brought it up.
"I'm not hungry! What time is it? ”
The merchant looked at the sky outside the window, and it was overcast, and he couldn't tell when it came.
I don't know where Li Mo ran away after sending her back?
"Just after noon, I said that I would tell my sister to get up and eat, but Minzhi's brother and Li Gongzi didn't let me, saying that the girl would wake up naturally when she slept well."
"Did Li Mo have lunch in the kitchen?"
The merchant turned his head to look at Green Sleeves in some surprise, how could Li Mo have lunch in the kitchen? Didn't he go back to the Prince's Garden?
"Yes! Li Gongzi also said that he has been lonely since he was a child, and he has no relatives in the capital, he was alone in previous years, and he wants to celebrate the New Year with us this year! Brother Min has already agreed. Greensleeves nodded like pounded garlic.
"Celebrate the New Year with us?" The merchant's eyes widened in disbelief.
How does this say? Could it be that he spent the New Year alone in previous years?
Thinking about it, with Li Mo's stubbornness, he will definitely refuse to enter the palace for the New Year! Although Li Zhi is his own brother, he is also the prince, and it is impossible for him to go out of the palace to accompany him on Chinese New Year's Eve, either before or now. The emperor is even more impossible, how can he run around on Chinese New Year's Eve?
Thinking that Li Mo was always alone in the cold room to keep the New Year, the businessman suddenly felt sad: It turns out that he is so happy today because someone has accompanied him to celebrate the New Year?
"Brother Minzhi said that since Li Gongzi wants to come over to celebrate the New Year with us, he will let Li Gongzi live in his own house, and he will go to squeeze a room with Brother Ruizhi."
"Is Li Mo still down?" The merchant interrupted Greensleeves' chatter.
The heart was a little stuffy, as if the heart had been pinched, and the slightest beating would also cause that wave of pain to radiate throughout the body. Although I always knew that Li Mo was not having an easy time, I never thought that he was the only one in this world when there was a happy reunion!
"Li Gongzi went back to get his things, saying that if he wanted to live here for a while, he had to bring some things." Green sleeves looked at the businessman, snickering in his heart, it seems that the girl still values Li Gongzi very much, I heard that Li Gongzi is a person who keeps the New Year, and his face is so distressed that his face is wrinkled like a bun skin!
"Oh! There's anything else to eat in the kitchen, I'll go down and eat! I don't want to stay upstairs, it's boring! The merchant asked Greensleeves casually, and after sleeping all morning, he was not hungry at all.
"That's a lot! Mother Song is still busy eating food for the New Year in the kitchen! The girl has everything she wants! ”
"Do I want to eat cake?" The merchant looked at the green sleeves with a look of excitement on his face. If she doesn't know, how many days has she not eaten!
"Egg ~~ cake? What is that? Greensleeves was dumbfounded, what was the girl talking about? She's only ever eaten custard, so what is this cake?
"I'm talking to you! It was a snack I had when I was a kid. Soft and sweet, if you want to eat, I will study it with Song Ma and make it for you another day when I have time. ”
The merchant couldn't help but chuckle when he looked at the yearning on the green sleeves, and his mood was better.
Also, where is the cake at this time? However, it's a good choice to study how to make a little food yourself, I wonder if Li Mo will like to eat it?
