The back door of the Mo Mansion.

Merton peeked his head out and was relieved to see that the back door was empty.

Holding a bulging package in his hand, he slipped out of the back door, and when he turned the corner, he saw a four-wheeled carriage standing there with a smile on his face, and then walked over.

"Give! This is the spinach picked this time! Merton reluctantly handed the package to Pound.

Since the last time Merton presented spinach to Li Shimin as an auspicious gift, the history of Merton stealing spinach alone is long gone, and Merton has to give Li Shimin a share every time.

Pound took the package, tossed the weight, and couldn't help frowning: "So little? ”

Merton said helplessly: "I can't pick it anymore, if I pick it again, I'll be bald, and when the time comes, it's no wonder that Dasi Nong doesn't look for me to fight hard." ”

According to Da Si Nong's character, not to mention a leaf, he felt distressed by whoever touched these spinach, and Mo Dun was able to see the opportunity after seeing the emptiness of Da Si Nong's absence.

Pound looked at Morton with a smile and said, "Yes, I don't believe that your kid didn't keep a copy in private." ”

"How is this possible? Spinach has only a few leaves, and the number of leaves that can be picked at any one time is limited. Merton suddenly looked as if he had been greatly wronged, and said dissatisfied.

"yes, why don't we count the number of leaves?" Pound was unmoved, and said with a smile.

Merton glared at Pound hatefully, reluctantly turned around and walked to the back door of the Murphy, took out a small bag of spinach leaves and handed it to Pound's hand.

Pound opened it and saw the fresh green spinach leaves, so he nodded with satisfaction.

Merton said angrily: "The next time it will be after January, it can't be any earlier!" ”

Pound frowned, and looked at Merton in confusion.

Merton reluctantly explained: "Winter has come, and although spinach can grow in winter, it grows very slowly, and after a month it is already the limit. If it is thirty-nine days, it will not be able to be picked at that time. ”

"But don't worry, as long as this year passes, when this batch of spinach blooms and bears seeds, I will have no worries about green vegetables in Datang in winter."

Pound nodded slowly and accepted Merton's explanation.

"Take good care of this thing, and in the future, the winter vegetables of the Tang Dynasty will be worry-free, and Your Majesty will naturally reward you for your merits." Pound looked at the spinach in his hand and said with a rare smile.

Watching Pound leave in a four-wheeled carriage, Merton swept away his grievances just now, and secretly returned to the back door of the Mofu Mansion again, and took out a small bag of spinach again.

"You have your Zhang Liangji, and I have my ladder over the wall." Merton proudly tossed the spinach in his hand.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the Mo Mansion.

"Merton, you scumbag." Su Lingnon's angry voice came from far away in the Mo Mansion.

Merton was stunned, and hurriedly hugged his head and fled, the reason why he was able to pick so many vegetable leaves this time was because he picked two leaves of many of the large spinach plants, no wonder Su Lingnon was so angry.

Merton jumped into the carriage briskly and said to Tie'an: "Quick, go to the Yuzhuangyuan Building." ”

Winter is coming, the weather is cold, this is the best season to eat hot pot, since the launch of the hot pot, the business can be said to be thriving, overpowering other restaurants in Chang'an City, crowning the entire Chang'an City.

Merton had already made an appointment with Qin Huaiyu and the three of them to eat hot pot together today, how could they be without vegetables.

In the Tianzi No. 1 private room, Mo Dun pushed open the door excitedly and proudly showed off: "Brothers, look at what I brought?" ”

Before Morton stepped into the box, he saw Qin Huaiyu and the three of them standing to the side with their heads down, and suddenly a bad feeling came to his heart.

Merton cautiously probed, and suddenly a pair of thick hands slipped into Merton's box.

As soon as Morton looked up, he immediately saw Cheng biting Jin's big teeth.

Cheng Biting Jin snatched the spinach from Merton's hand, and said with a smile: What Gonggong Pang said is true, this kid Morton still has a hidden hand.

Merton was suddenly startled, and turned his head suddenly, only to see that in the box, Li Shimin was sitting in the main seat, and Pang De, who had left before Merton, was serving behind the serious Li Shimin.

"Aren't you going back to the palace?" Merton said when he saw that Pound had been deceived.

Pang De said expressionlessly: "For such a trivial matter as delivering food, naturally there is no need for the old man to go in person." ”

Merton suddenly realized, no wonder Pang De was able to assert that he must still have green vegetables, it turned out that he had already learned that he was going to eat hot pot with Qin Huaiyu and the three of them here today, but he didn't demolish himself at that time, and was waiting for him at this time!

Merton looked left and right, but did not see the figures of Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde.

"Don't look at it, the two of them are on duty in the palace, and today it will be me and Cheng Aiqing." Li Shimin said angrily.

Merton suddenly lamented in his heart, it seemed that he didn't look at the yellow calendar today, and it fell into the hands of the two of them.

Merton glared at Cheng Chumo hatefully, but it is conceivable that Cheng Yanjin learned the news, and it must have been Cheng Chumo who leaked the secret.

Cheng Chumo suddenly lowered his head deeper.

"I'll just say that your kid is very slippery, and you dare to hide such delicious green vegetables." While accusing Morton of eating alone, Cheng Biting Jin took out a spinach leaf and took three or two bites into his mouth.

Merton hurriedly smiled and said: "Uncle is a hero in the world, naturally he drinks and eats meat, how can a little green vegetable get into your old man's eyes."

"The old man hasn't eaten green vegetables for two months, and now he wants to nibble on two bites when he sees green vegetables." Cheng bit Jin three times and swallowed the spinach into his stomach and said.

Cheng Chumo felt extremely embarrassed, his face flushed with shame, and he almost stuck his head under the table.

"Okay, don't complain, you can't eat today." Li Shimin is most annoyed by Cheng biting Jin and crying poor, and this old puppet is still used to this trick.

Cheng Yanjin's face suddenly changed, and he smiled and said: "Hot pot has been famous in Chang'an City recently!" The old man has been famous for a long time! ”

"Someone is serving!" Merton shouted.

Soon, Uncle Yu personally brought up the copper hot pot, and in the central furnace of the copper hot pot, the charcoal fire was burning, and after a while, it was already sizzling, exuding an attractive fragrance.

Immediately after that, a plate of fresh ingredients was served, especially one of the plates of cleaned spinach was very conspicuous.

The way to eat hot pot has long been passed down in Chang'an City, and although Li Shimin and the two have met for the first time, there has been no misunderstanding like Li Chengqian.

The six people sat down, opened the disposable dishes and chopsticks in front of them, looked at the gradually boiling soup, and suddenly moved their index fingers.

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Although I haven't tasted the delicacy of hot pot yet, it is worth the trip to be able to eat green vegetables today." ”

Merton suddenly got up and said, "Your Majesty, slow down!" To eat hot pot, green vegetables are valuable, but there is also an ingredient that is also essential. ”

"Oh! Tell me about it! Li Shimin said with interest.

"Beef!" Merton said as if on a pilgrimage.
