Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 357 New Year's Goods - Peanuts, Drinks, Breadfruit, Beer, Biscuits, and Candy

Yu Yu dusted off his body and walked back to the front empty-handed.

Her eyes sparkled, and with a mysterious smile, she said to everyone, "Go to the backyard storage room and see what's inside!"

Cheng Chumo became interested when he heard this. He stood up first and strode towards the backyard, muttering, "Little girl, what kind of treasure have you hidden? You're so mysterious."

Qin Huaidao, Wei Shuyu and others followed closely behind, their faces full of curiosity.

Xiaoyu looked at Yuyu with eyes full of doting, as if she had guessed something.

When everyone came to the backyard storage room, they were stunned to see piles of big bags of candy, boxes of fruit, and cans of beer and drinks.

Cheng Chumo's eyes widened as he picked up a bag of winter melon candy and asked in surprise, "What is this? It looks strange and novel."

Wei Shuyu picked up a box of apples and said in disbelief, "I've never seen apples of this size and color before."

Crown Prince Li Chengqian also raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of surprise: "Yuyu, where did you get this?"

Yuyu smiled proudly, winked cunningly and said, "This is candy. I made it myself some time ago and have been hiding it secretly. I wanted to give you a surprise. I guess you didn't know it."

"Those fruits are from the Western Regions."

After hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with surprise and admiration. "Yuyu, you are amazing!"

Cheng Chumo gave a thumbs up, his face full of admiration.

Qin Huaidao also smiled and nodded: "I didn't expect that you have such skills at such a young age. These foods and objects look very novel."

Others gathered around and looked curiously at these New Year goods that they had never seen before.

Someone picked up a bag of winter melon candy and looked at the translucent candy; someone gently shook the can of beer and listened to the slight shaking sound inside.

Xiaoyu looked at this scene, her eyes filled with satisfaction and pride: "My Yuyu is very clever and can always bring surprises to everyone."

Wei Shuyu picked up a box of oranges and said with a smile, "They look fresh just by looking at them. They will definitely add a lot of color to the table during the New Year."

Li Deyu also echoed: "Yes, this year will definitely be different."

Yuyu smiled and clapped her hands, saying, "Don't just stare, everyone! I've prepared all the New Year's goods. Let's divide them up. Candy, biscuits, bread, peanuts, each person gets three bags. Apples, oranges, and beer and drinks, each person gets two boxes. Come and take them!"

Everyone smiled in surprise when they heard this. Cheng Chumo rubbed his hands excitedly: "Yuyu, you are so kind!"

As he spoke, he went forward to pick out the candies and cookies he liked.

Qin Huaidao also walked forward with a smile, took out three bags of bread and two boxes of apples, and said, "The bread looks soft, and the apples are red and big. Take them back for your family to try."

Crown Prince Li Chengqian was also nearby, methodically selecting items. He picked up three bags of peanuts and two cartons of drinks and said gently, "Yuyu, your thoughtfulness is truly precious. Such special New Year gifts will surely add a bit of joy to the New Year."

Wei Shuyu, Fang Yiai, Li Deyu and others were also selecting New Year's goods. While selecting, everyone kept praising Yu Yu.

Everyone was looking at the New Year's goods in their hands with joy, but suddenly realized a problem: with so many things, it was impossible to get them back by manpower.

Cheng Chumo scratched his head, looking at the mountain of New Year's goods in front of him, and began to worry: "What should I do? There are so many things, I can't move them by myself, and I can't take them back."

Just as everyone was happily preparing to carry their New Year's goods home, Cheng Chumo looked at the large and small bags in his hands and began to worry: "How can I take all this back? There are so many things, I can't carry so much on my two legs."

The others also reacted and looked troubled.

Yuyu suddenly had an idea and said, "How about this? You can each ask your family to drive a carriage over and take these New Year's goods back."

Crown Prince Li Chengqian nodded and looked at the secret guard beside him: "You go and make arrangements and ask the palace to send two carriages over." The secret guard took the order and left quickly.

Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaidao, Wei Shuyu, Fang Yiai and Li Deyu also asked their secret guards to go back and call for a carriage.

The secret guard beside Crown Prince Li Chengqian knelt on one knee, took the order and left, his figure disappearing into the night of the tavern like lightning.

He jumped on the horse and gave it a hard kick. The horse neighed and galloped towards the palace.

Along the way, the wind whistled in his ears, and the secret guard's mind kept appearing the appearance of those novel New Year goods in the tavern, and he was thinking about bringing back the news as soon as possible.

After arriving at the palace, he did not stop for a moment and went straight to Li Shimin's study.

Outside the study, the secret guard reported respectfully, and after receiving permission, he quickly entered the study.

He knelt on one knee again and reported to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered me to return to the palace and have them send two carriages to the tavern to load the New Year's goods distributed by the Yuyu family."

Li Shimin was reviewing memorials at his desk. Upon hearing this, he paused his pen and looked up with a smile. "This child, it's rare to see such joy. This fish is also interesting, to be able to make such novel things. Okay, approved, quickly arrange for the carriage to go."

After receiving the order, the secret guard quickly stood up, left the study quickly, and went to the carriage and horses to make arrangements.

Soon, two simply decorated yet spacious carriages, driven by their drivers, drove towards the tavern, the sound of horse hooves ringing crisply in the night.

Not long after, the palace guards returned at full speed and reported to Crown Prince Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, the carriage is waiting outside the tavern. When the Emperor heard this, he smiled and said, 'Okay.'"

Crown Prince Li Chengqian nodded slightly and said to the crowd with a smile, "It seems that the emperor has also been infected by this lively atmosphere. Let's load the New Year's goods onto the truck now."

Everyone gathered outside the tavern, and the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on this lively scene.

Cheng Chumo was the first to act. He walked over to where the peanut cookies were piled, stretched out his hands, and picked up three large bags, muttering, "These cookies are delicious. Let my family have some."

He walked towards the carriage and carefully stacked the biscuits in the carriage.

Qin Huaidao was helping to carry the candies. He picked up a bag of winter melon candies, looked at them in the moonlight, and exclaimed in admiration, "This candy is crystal clear and looks really good."

Then, he and Wei Shuyu passed bags of candy to the car.

Fang Yiai shuttled between various New Year's goods, sometimes picking up bread, sometimes running to move beer.

He struggled to hold two boxes of beer, his face flushed as he said, "This beer looks new and novel."

Yu Yu and Xiao Yu were not idle either. They carefully moved boxes of apples and oranges to their carriage.

Yuyu would remind everyone from time to time: "Put it down gently, don't touch the fruit."

Crown Prince Li Chengqian stood by and gave orders, occasionally lending a hand.

He handed a box of drinks to the secret guard and said, "Be careful, don't spill it."
