Datang Hotel: The Leisurely Life of a Chef Dad

Bang!

Bang!

After two consecutive calls, only Cheng Yaojin was still standing.

Not to mention five cups, just this one cup made him feel as if the world in front of him was spinning backwards... ✧✿✬

"Good... strong wine... good wine!"

Bang!

Da Zhuang stood aside, leaning forward, and poked the three of them.

"Master, they are asleep..."

Liu Xuan nodded and glanced outside a few times. There is nothing unexpected about these three people. They are just two or three people who stare at each other in court. But when they go out, shouldn't there be guards watching in secret and waiting on them at any time?

"Aye, I'm hungry..."

Yaya grabbed the corner of Liu Xuan's clothes and kept swinging her body.

"Da Zhuang, clear the table and prepare delicious food for you!"

Da Zhuang nodded and muttered: "These three people licked all the plates clean and didn't leave any for me..."

At this moment, several figures filed in outside the hotel door. The leader was dressed in civilian attire, but wore a waist knife and had sharp eyes.

It was Liu Renyuan, the general of the Jinwu Guard, who was Li Shimin's personal bodyguard.

Gazing across the three people in the hotel, Liu Renyuan calmly waved his hand, and the people behind him took Li Shimin and the three away.

Liu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as someone took care of him, as long as they didn't cause any trouble in his hotel, that would be better than anything else.

There were a lot of heavy copper coins in the bag in the sleeve robe. Yaya and Da Zhuang, including Liu Xuan himself, were also starving.

I looked outside and saw that it was still early in the day. It was still early for people in Chang'an City who could afford lunch to go out and spend money.

"Da Zhuang, you watch from outside, I'll go cook!"

Da Zhuang nodded vigorously, sat down on the bench, and began to count the lines on the table.

Liu Xuan sighed. In his memory, Da Zhuang was originally a normal person, but after a high fever and no treatment, it was as if his brain had been burned out and he became a little sluggish.

They are all poor people.

The original owner's family was not a wealthy family, and Liu Xuan was not the son of a wealthy family. Among the people struggling to make a living in the capital, the family was also among the poor.

Kyoto is good to everyone, but it is not good to poor people.

At this time in the Tang Dynasty, people's livelihood had just been restored, food was scarce in the Tang Dynasty, and the people had not yet breathed their last breath; the trade routes were not open, and the wealthy noble families and the imperial power were still secretly wrestling with each other. Do you want to do business in Chang'an and change your fate? Is there anyone above you?

"Master, wine..."

"Put it away and keep it. Next time they come, they will continue to sell it."

Five hundred Wen opened the bottle and you didn't finish it, you can't blame me, can you?

Liu Xuan knelt down and observed Yaya's head for a while, his hands dancing rapidly. After a while, the braid on Yaya's head turned into a rhinoceros horn.

Yaya squatted in front of the basin, looked at herself in the reflection, and cried out: "Yeah, I don't look good, I'm ugly."

"I don't want this big braid, I want small horns..."

Although Liu Xuan doesn't know how to coax children and has no experience in raising children, Liu Xuan knows that when children start to make noises, they have to find something to do.

"Yaya, look at this basin, there is so much water in it, but there is no water in the barrel."

"Should hard-working Yaya pour the water into the barrel?"

When Yaya heard this, she immediately puffed up her chest and her big eyes were full of brightness: "Aye, let me help you!"

Liu Xuan nodded: "Yaya is awesome. Come on, let me give you a small bowl. You are weak and can't lift the wooden basin. This small bowl is just right..."

The small bowl is about the same size as Yaya's hand. I don't know how long it will take to scoop out the water in the basin.

After taking care of the noisy Yaya, Liu Xuan casually grabbed the fallen kitchen door.

At this moment, Liu Xuan experienced what it means to be overwhelmingly powerful and overwhelming.

A feeling of how lonely it is to be invincible instantly filled my forehead.

Sure enough, strength is a man’s dopamine. No wonder so many people like to lift weights in the gym, conquering one barbell after another even at the risk of starting from zero.

There are still two bowls of rice in the rice vat, which is just right. It should be enough for three people to steam it, right?

Then wash the rice, add water to the small wooden basin, cover the rice grains, place a cage on top of the large pot, and put it in.

Liu Xuan wiped his hands and started making Mapo tofu and Dongpo pork.

"No wonder people always open restaurants to make money and offer such huge discounts."

"After a plate of dishes is finished, there are still so many raw materials left."

…

Half an hour later, Liu Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, took off his apron, and shouted to Yaya: "Yaya, it's time to eat!"

Liu Xuan and the others usually eat not in the main hall, but at the small table on the side of the main hall.

There were stars in his big eyes, and he kept stuffing his saliva back, fearing that the fragrant saliva would flow to the ground.

Yaya held a bowl of rice and shoveled it into her mouth.

Whoops!

Whoops!

In the small restaurant, there were only the sounds of clinking bowls and chopsticks, the sound of children chirping, and the sound of impatient and heavy breathing.

…

In the afternoon, Li Shimin opened his eyes, only to feel the shadow of a person in front of him.

"Your Majesty, you are awake."

The woman with simple clothes and elegant temperament slowly covered Li Shimin with a blanket.

Li Shimin rubbed his head and looked at the woman in front of him suspiciously.

"Guanyin Maid, when did you have a sister?"

The woman is none other than the Empress of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's first wife, Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun sighed, with a worried look in her eyes: "Your Majesty, Dr. Sun said that you should have a good rest and not drink."

"Hey, Your Majesty, you don't listen to what I say, and you don't listen to Dr. Sun either?"

In front of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin's attitude is no longer that of the high and mighty emperor.

Since Li Yuan started his army, Li Shimin has become a powerful weapon for conquering all directions. After marrying Li Shimin, Empress Changsun has never complained, and she has been worried and crying alone for so many years. The relationship between the two is extraordinary.

After being scolded, Li Shimin grinned: "Guanyin, don't be so angry!"

"Now that the Tang Dynasty is beginning to show vitality and is thriving, I want to go and see the people, see the people of Chang'an."

Empress Changsun raised her eyebrows: "That's not a reason for your alcoholism. It can make your majesty drunk. Doctor Sun said that if you really can't help it, just a small cup will do."

"How much did you drink to get drunk like this?"

At this time, Li Shimin turned over, took Empress Changsun's hand, and showed a confident smile on his face: "Guanyin, believe me, I really only drank one cup."

"Cheng Zhijie can testify to this, and Wei Zheng can also testify to this."

Empress Changsun didn't know whether Cheng Yaojin could testify. After all, the two of them were just wearing the same pants. Your majesty's bad habit of drinking on weekdays was basically caused by Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin.

But Wei Zheng...

"Wei Zheng went too?"
