The hot pot lasted for an hour, and no charcoal was added in the middle.

Zhang Long and his team finished the battle in about 40 minutes, and now they have returned to stand guard outside the living room.

Everyone came to the living room and sat down a few minutes ago.

Su Chen glanced outside and reminded: "The snow is getting heavier. If your majesty does not plan to stay overnight in the manor tonight, you should return to the palace early to avoid the heavy snow blocking the road."

After eating hot pot, Li Junxian and Zhang Long had cleared a path through the nearly two-foot-thick snow on the square.

If the heavy snow continues for another two hours, the snow on the ground will probably be more than two feet thick.

Unless someone is arranged to clear the way in front.

Li Shimin stood up and walked to the door of the living room. He looked outside and nodded, saying, "Su Chen, prepare the sauce and Longkou vermicelli. I will take some back to the palace."

Su Chen and Princess Changle walked up to Li Shimin and said,

"Your Majesty, there is no need to bother. I will ask Master Liu to bring a purchasing assistant to the palace tomorrow morning.

Master Liu knows how to deal with those ingredients and sauces."

"Well, that's fine!" Li Shimin nodded in agreement and then looked at Empress Changsun.

"Junxian, go back to the palace!"

"I obey your order!" Li Junxian said respectfully.

"Commander Li, wait! Zhang Long, call the brothers who have had lunch to grab weapons and clear the snow on the road in the direction of Chang'an."

When Li Shimin came to the manor, Su Chen found that they were only accompanied by a dozen people. Su Chen didn't know what was going on when the carriage passed through the snow, but it felt necessary to send someone to clean it up.

"Yes, Lord!" Zhang Long and Zhao Hu immediately went to call people.

Su Chen asked Li Shimin to return to the living room and sit for a while, "Your Majesty, it's just right for you and your mother to wait for ten minutes before leaving."

"Okay!" Li Shimin smiled and patted Su Chen on the shoulder.

Taking this opportunity, Concubine Yang and others measured the height of their sons respectively, so that they could knit sweaters for their sons after returning to the palace.

Afterwards, Li Shimin asked about Li Zhi and Li Shen's studies, and the two children replied that everything was fine.

Li Shimin's eyes swept across the faces of the three brothers Li Tai in turn, and said: "Li Ke, Li Tai, Li You, what do you want the money for?"

Fortunately, Li Tai went to the palace to divide the money that day.

Li Ke and Li You were completely confused. When did they ask for money?

"Your Majesty, it wasn't them who asked for money, it was my own idea. Don't look at Li Ke and Li Tai as decent people, they don't have a single copper coin on them."

Everyone couldn't help hearing what Su Chen said.

"Puff~"

"Hahaha..."

Their mother laughed the loudest!

"By the way, Li You made some money from selling pork, let's have someone send it to the palace someday, we don't have it here."

Su Chen suddenly remembered that some people didn't have copper coins when selling pork before, so they used equivalent silk and other things as the price.

Those things, like copper coins, are recognized currencies.

"Oh, Lao Wu, how much money did you make from selling pork?" Li Shimin looked at Li You and asked with a smile.

Li You scratched his head. He only knew about raising pigs. Jin'er told him how much the pork was sold for, but he forgot everything.

He looked at Jin'er with a pitiful look for help.

Jin'er stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, a total of 418 pigs were sold in 28 days.

Pork is 20 wen per catty, and the average income for each pig is 3,150 wen. The total income is more than 1,300 guan, including 1,200 guan of copper coins."

"There are 68 workers in the pig farm. After deducting the wages and pig feed costs for the more than 400 pigs sold, there should be a profit of more than 1,000 guan."

The current pork price is only temporary. When grain production catches up in the future, pork prices will definitely fall.

The market has its own operating rules.

That batch of pigs was raised for half a year, and Jin'er could only make a rough estimate. The feed given by Su Chen was calculated based on the grain price.

More than 500 sows and 50 breeding pigs were not sold.

Li Shimin smiled and nodded to Jin'er, glanced at Li You, and said, "The pigs are well raised! I will give you two hundred strings of silk and satin, okay?"

"Thank you, father, thank you, father!"

Li You didn't care how much money it was, anyway, he didn't see a penny from the money from selling pork.

No need to spend money in the manor at ordinary times, just ask the housekeeper for money when you need it.

Afterwards, Li Shimin thought for a while, "Su Chen, give them one hundred strings of silk each."

Perhaps one hundred strings of silk is not much in Su Chen's eyes, but compared with the life of Li Tai's brothers in the past.

It can be said that it is a turn of events.

"Is it enough?" Su Chen looked at Li Shimin and asked.

Li Shimin smiled faintly and looked at the three brothers of Li Tai: "Is it enough?"

"Enough, thank you father!" Li Tai and the other two hurriedly thanked him.

They didn't know that the crown prince Li Chengqian, who was in the palace at the moment, had tens of thousands of kilograms of gold, and he only gotThere are 10,000 strings of copper coins left.

Converted into less than 100 jin of gold (one tael of gold equals ten strings of copper coins).

...More than 20 minutes passed in a blink of an eye.

Li Shimin stood up and said, "Su Chen, I'm back at the palace. I'll go to the palace when I have time!"

"Okay!" Su Chen and others all stood up to see him off.

"No need to see me off. The carriage is parked at the door." Li Shimin patted Su Chen on the shoulder and said.

"Okay, Your Majesty, take care!" Su Chen bowed.

Everyone watched Li Shimin's carriage leave the manor square.

The servants had sorted and packed up the unfinished hot pot ingredients so that nothing would be wasted.

"Li Zhi, come with me to the study. I have something good to show you."

Princess Changle's eyes lit up when she heard this, thinking that Su Chen had something new to give her!

After the two came to the study, Su Chen took off his robe directly.

"Su Chen, you...!" Princess Changle was confused. Why did she take off her clothes for no reason?

She certainly didn't think that Su Chen was going to be a hooligan to her.

Su Chen didn't take off all his outer robes, but only exposed the sweater on his upper body.

"Lizhi, how about this sweater? Does it look good?" Su Chen showed off the sweater on his upper body, proudly showing off and turning around.

So that Princess Changle could see it clearly.

After seeing the sweater Su Chen was wearing, Princess Changle pursed her lips as if she was very aggrieved.

But it must be said that this blue and white sweater did look good on Su Chen, but it was a pity that Princess Changle knew that she didn't have the skill.

"Well, it looks good!"

Princess Changle walked forward and reached out to touch the sweater. Since Su Chen had just taken off his outer robe, the sweater was still hot.

"Su Chen, can I discuss something with you?"

Princess Changle helped Su Chen put on his outer robe again, lowered her head and begged in a low voice.

"You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely make it beautiful for you." Su Chen agreed without thinking.

"Tomorrow, Saturday, can you take off your sweater so that I can refer to it."

Princess Changle wanted to knit a sweater for Su Chen, but Empress Changsun thought she was not suitable for such delicate handwork and did not teach her.

"That's it! It's simple. You can take the sweater to study it on the weekend."

It's snowing today, but it doesn't feel cold at all. The temperature dropped sharply in the evening a few days ago.

"By the way, why don't you knit a pair of gloves for yourself? Or you can wear these gloves first?"

"No need, my hands won't get frostbitten in winter!"

Princess Changle shook her head and said.

"Oh, okay! I'll take you to school later!"

Princess Changle nodded, and the two walked out of the study.
