Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 124: Bring a small box of glutinous rice balls and go shopping on Chang'an Street

Yuyu tugged at Xiaoyu's clothes, looked at her with sparkling eyes, and said coquettishly, "Mom, I'll go back and get some dumplings. If you get hungry later, you can eat them while walking~"

As he spoke, he licked his lips, as if he was savoring the sweetness of the glutinous rice balls.

Xiaoyu smiled and tapped Yuyu's nose. "You little greedy cat, you just ate so much and now you're craving it again. But that's good. It saves you from being hungry later."

When Yu Yu heard this, he immediately let go of Xiao Yu's hand and ran back to Zuixian Tower like a gust of wind.

After a while, she came out with a small food box, which contained a few hot dumplings and emitted an enticing aroma.

Yuyu shook the food box in her hand and said proudly, "Mom, I've got it. Let's go!"

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "You little brat, you're just like a little hamster hoarding food. You're really smart."

Cheng Chumo couldn't help laughing: "Yuyu, you treat the dumplings like treasures. Don't eat too much, or you'll be unable to walk again."

Qin Huaidao echoed from the side: "Yes, Yuyu, you are so cute. You treat these dumplings as rare treasures."

Li Hao ran over and wanted to open the food box to take a look: "Yuyu, you are really greedy, but I also want to eat a little."

Ah Fu and Ah Cai were watching from the door of the tavern. Ah Fu shouted loudly: "Ms. Yu Yu, you have to leave a few for us too, hahahaha"

When Yuyu heard everyone's teasing, she wrinkled her nose and snorted: "I'm not giving it to you. It's mine." She hugged the food box tightly and stood there with a proud look on her face.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu smiled and shook her head: "Okay, okay, Yuyu is leaving, let's continue our walk." As she said that, she took Yuyu's hand and walked forward.

It is the end of summer, and the sun is no longer as scorching as in midsummer, but becomes soft and warm.

Xiaoyu was wearing a light blue gauze dress, the sleeves of which fluttered gently in the wind. The dress was embroidered with a few elegant lotus flowers. A white ribbon was tied around her waist, forming a beautiful bow, which made her figure more graceful.

Her hair was simply tied up, with a few strands hanging by her ears, swaying slightly with her steps.

Yu Yu was wearing a pink ruqun with exquisite butterfly patterns embroidered on the hem, and the butterflies seemed to be dancing on the hem.

She had a light white shawl draped over her shoulders, and she looked as if she were floating in the air as she walked. Her small feet were wearing a pair of pink embroidered shoes, and the flowers on the shoe uppers were lifelike.

Yuyu was skipping along, the food box steady in her hands. She would open it from time to time to take a look at the dumplings inside: "Don't let the dumplings spill. The dumplings we just ate were so delicious. I can still eat them now."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao walked behind, wearing light summer clothes.

Cheng Chumo was wearing a white robe with simple patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs. He wore a black belt around his waist, which highlighted his tall and straight figure. "The taste of those glutinous rice balls just now was truly unforgettable. I'm still craving them just thinking about them now."

Qin Huaidao was wearing a green shirt. There were no extra decorations on his clothes, but he looked neat and tidy. "Yes, that sweet taste, I want to go back and eat some more."

Li Hao was wearing a light yellow robe, with a small jade pendant hanging around his neck, gleaming with a warm luster in the sunlight. "I still want to eat some glutinous rice balls. I didn't have enough just now."

They strolled slowly along the streets of Chang'an, which were lined with shops and were very bustling.

Yuyu was like a cheerful little bird, shuttling through the crowd. She held up the food box in her hand and said, "Mom, look over there, there are candy figures for sale. They are so beautiful!"

Yu Yu pointed to a small stall not far away, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and desire.

Xiaoyu looked in the direction she pointed and said with a smile, "You, you just ate the glutinous rice balls and you're thinking about the sugar figurines now."

Yu Yu stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm just looking at it, I'm not buying it." But her eyes were still glued to the candy man.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao followed behind, looking at the scene on the street as they walked.

Cheng Chumo looked at the bustling crowd around him and said with emotion: "The streets of Chang'an are really lively. It feels different every time I come here."

Qin Huaidao nodded in agreement. "Yes, it's amazing how people and things from all over the world come together here. By the way, do you think those glutinous rice balls we just mentioned would be popular if they were sold on this street?"

Cheng Chumo smiled and said, "Of course, Xiaoyu's cooking skills are so good. I'm still savoring the sweet peanut dumplings."

Yuyu heard their conversation and came over: "Then you can open a glutinous rice dumpling shop on this street. You will definitely make a lot of money."

Cheng Chumo patted her head and said, "You little brat, you only know how to make money."

Yuyu ran over and took Xiaoyu's hand, "Mom, let's go over there and take a look. It looks like there's something fun there."

Xiaoyu was pulled forward by her, and it turned out that a juggling troupe was performing.

I saw several artists flying ribbons in the air, performing various thrilling and exciting moves. They were surrounded by audiences, and cheers were heard one after another.

Yuyu watched intently, "Wow, they are so amazing!"

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "These are all skills they have acquired through hard work."

Qin Huaidao watched the performance and said to Cheng Chumo, "The skills of this acrobatic troupe are really amazing, no worse than those of us who practice martial arts."

Cheng Chumo was also fascinated by the sight: "Yes, there are really many hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the people."

Li Hao squeezed in and out of the crowd, trying to find a better viewing position.

After watching the circus, they continued on their way.

The streets were filled with all kinds of aromas, the smell of scones, the smell of spices, and the fragrance of flowers.

Yuyu took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good. Chang'an Street smells so good."

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "This is the charm of Chang'an Avenue. Various flavors are intertwined, just like the richness and diversity of life."

When passing by a fabric shop, Xiaoyu stopped and looked at the exquisite fabrics.

Yuyu asked curiously, "Mom, do you want to buy some cloth?"

Xiaoyu nodded: "See if there are any suitable ones and make some new clothes for you."

Yuyu cheered: "Great! I will have new clothes!"

She ran around the fabrics, touching this piece and looking at that piece, feeling very excited.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao were waiting outside the shop. Cheng Chumo looked at the people walking on the street and said to Qin Huaidao, "In Chang'an, everyone has their own story. Just like us walking around today, it is also a beautiful memory."

Qin Huaidao deeply agreed: "Yes, these memories, like the streets of Chang'an, will always remain in our hearts."

Li Hao heard this and said: "Then we should hang out together more often in the future."

Everyone laughed, and the laughter echoed in the streets of Chang'an: "Hahaha" Then they continued strolling on Chang'an Avenue.
