Datang Hotel: The Leisurely Life of a Chef Dad

Today is Yuan Day, and Li Shimin took Fang Xuanling and Li Chengqian out early in the morning.

Fang Xuanling stood in the distance, weakly pulling at the three men in front of him, and suddenly found that there were countless big men in front of them.

Fang Xuanling's body and bones were a little weak a few days ago, so he couldn't bear such torture.

In desperation, I had no choice but to come back.

"Master, why don't we change places? There is a small attic over there. Let's go up and have a look."

Li Shimin nodded. He came out today to have fun with the people. He brought guards with him, but he couldn't use it to queue up, right?

If you still need guards to clear the way for you when you visit privately incognito, wouldn't you lose the original purpose of the private visit incognito?

In that case, wouldn’t we be unable to see many interesting and exciting things in Chang’an? How boring that is!

It's like going to Feng Yue Tower and listening to the music with your clothes on. It means nothing.

Those are just the self-righteous behaviors of literati and elegant guests, all for the sake of becoming a guest at night.

But if you just listen to the ditty, it's not exciting at all.

Li Shimin stroked his beard, looked at the crowd not far away, and asked curiously: "Old Fang, what did you see just now?"

Fang Xuanling blushed: "Master, I didn't see anything. How about we go up and take a look?"

At this time, there were a few scattered people on the attic. This was a newly opened tea shop. The second floor was also a place for tea tasting.

"It's an auspicious first day for our guests. What kind of tea would you like?"

"It doesn't matter, you can bring some and we can go up and try them."

When the waiter heard this, he was very happy: "Guest, please! Please come upstairs!"

This is a tea shop. It was originally opened in the East Market. Somehow, after the people in the Datang Hotel became accustomed to drinking tea, more and more people bought tea, so that it was even above the West Market. , it also opened a few days ago

The shop was opened specifically near Datang Hotel.

In the bustling West Market, it is not easy to find such an empty shop.

On the second floor, several people came over early in the morning to enjoy tea. They were shopkeepers who came to pick up goods. They sat at the round table and looked curiously at the busy opening not far away.

The three of them, Li Shimin, were also relatively close to the railing. When they raised their heads, they could clearly see the situation over there.

"Liu Renyuan, it turns out it's him. I just thought this voice was so familiar." Li Shimin cursed in his heart.

Li Chengqian was very quiet today, following behind, making tea and pouring water.

Fang Xuanling looked at that place and suddenly asked curiously: "Master, it should be Liu Xuan's shop over there, but I don't know what he wants to sell."

Li Shimin smiled and remained calm.

Everywhere you look, there are crowds of people.

Among the crowd, waves of shouts floated out slowly. It was a little noisy at first, and Li Shimin couldn't hear it clearly enough. But soon, Li Shimin heard it clearly. It was: Let there be no book that the world cannot afford to read.

For a moment, Li Shimin's heart became frantic, and a heat surged in his chest for no apparent reason.

"Okay! Well said!"

"Let there be no book in the world that cannot afford to read, good! This is the courage that merchants of the Tang Dynasty should have!"

Li Chengqing on the side was also excited after hearing this. He did not know that this was Liu Xuan's shop, let alone that the items in the shop were books.

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and wondered, isn't Liu Xuan a marquis? Why did he become a merchant again?

But that’s right, Liu Xuan’s double

The identity allows him to change into any identity that Li Shimin needs when Li Shimin needs it.

Li Shimin's heart was racing. What Liu Xuan said seemed to be what Liu Xuan was doing.

Dear brother, dear brother, you have never failed. You have done everything you said.

At this time, Liu Renyuan's voice sounded in Li Shimin's ears.

"Everyone, Datang Bookstore is opening today!"

"Everyone, please take a few steps back. The opening of Datang Bookstore must be grand!"

Li Shimin didn't understand what was said, and then Shu Qi Er tried hard to understand what the commotion in the crowd over there meant. 🄲

Liu Renyuan seemed to have been talking, but his voice became quieter and quieter. Now it was difficult for Li Shimin to hear clearly.

Suddenly, Li Shimin noticed that the crowd seemed to be quiet on the entire street.

Li Shimin looked suspiciously in the direction of Liu Renyuan. Liu Renyuan was squatting on the ground. On the ground, there were a pile of bamboo tubes, about the thickness of two fingers, and there were still sparks...

boom!

A dull sound suddenly appeared, and Li Shimin was staggered. If Li Shimin hadn't reacted quickly, he would have almost turned over the railing.

If this is turned over, I'm afraid it won't be possible...

boom!

The second sound came one after another, and Li Shimin felt as if his head was going to explode.

This sound was like thunder. The explosion was not far away, but about twenty or thirty meters away from Li Shimin's second-floor attic. It was like a sudden thunder explosion in the clear summer sky.

Li Shimin shivered, took three steps back, and sat on the bench.

"What is this?"

"What did Liu Renyuan release just now?"

In the silent streets of West City, this time, the onlookers finally knew to retreat. If they didn't retreat, innocent people might be hurt by this thing.

"Hiss..." A gasping sound.

She covered her ears and kept rubbing her ears, trying to speak, but found that she couldn't hear the sound, and screamed in horror: "I can't hear it, I can't hear it, what's going on..."

Liu Renyuan looked at the crowd and said, "This is Datang Bookstore, a gift to the people of Tang Dynasty! Let's cheer together!"

After all, the sound of the huge firecrackers was just scary. As Liu Renyuan finished speaking, the crowd burst into astonishing cheers.

"Shopkeeper, where can I buy these firecrackers?"

"Yes, during the Chinese New Year, you should use something so violent, loud, high-pitched, and loud!"

"Stop talking about it, it must have been the same sound last night."

At this time, Fang Xuanling was standing on the second floor, rubbing his ears, and suddenly realized that the huge movement last night seemed to be this thing.

"Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan, you can always surprise people."

Everyone cheered, seeing the firecrackers for the first time, it was like seeing the happiest toy.

Liu Renyuan started to play the second, third, fourth...

For a moment, above the West Market, it was as if there was a god of thunder. The dull sound kept ringing and exploded in the sky above Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. The bamboos scattered in the end were like flowers scattered by a goddess.

On top of the heavy snowfall last night, some rustling things would fall down from time to time, like sawdust.

Li Shimin picked up the tea cup and looked at the contents of the bamboo tube, and his heart moved violently.

After taking a sip, Li Shimin felt something was in his mouth.
