Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 123: The glutinous rice dumpling stuffing is on the face, and the full stomach is digested o

Everyone ate the dumplings for a while longer, and laughter and joy echoed in the courtyard, carrying into the distance with the breeze that still carried a bit of heat at the end of summer.

Yu Yu's mouth was full of the glutinous rice ball fillings, her cheeks were bulging, and she spoke incoherently, choking from time to time, which made everyone laugh again.

"This glutinous rice ball is so delicious. I can eat lots of it." Yu Yu said while waving a small spoon.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She wiped her forehead with her hand, but ended up getting the stuffing on her face.

"Yu Yu, look at you, you look like a little harlequin cat." Cheng Chumo pointed at Yu Yu and laughed so hard that tears almost came out.

"Hahaha, Sister Yuyu, if you go out like this, you will make everyone laugh." Qin Huaidao said, holding his stomach.

"Sister, your face is covered with stuffing, hahaha!" Li Hao also joined in the fun, with a bright smile on his face.

"Oh, Yuyu, you are really our happy pill. You look so funny." Ah Fu couldn't stop laughing.

"Ms. Yu Yu, go look in the mirror. You will definitely laugh at yourself." A Cai chuckled, his eyes full of smiles.

"Baby, wipe it quickly. You little brat always brings us joy." Xiaoyu said with a doting smile.

When Yuyu heard everyone's laughter, she finally reacted. She touched her face with her hand and found it was sticky. It turned out that the stuffing was all on her face.

"I have to go wash." Yu Yu said, and ran into the house happily, with her two little braids swinging back and forth, looking very cute.

After a while, the sound of water being drawn could be heard in the yard, along with Yu Yu humming a little tune.

After a while, Yu Yu washed her face and returned to the yard.

Her little face was red because she had just washed, like a ripe apple.

"I'm back! Don't laugh at me anymore." Yu Yu said pretending to be angry, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth revealed that she was not really angry.

"Hmph, I was just too engrossed in eating." She added, her eyes rolling around, looking at everyone.

Xiaoyu smiled and waved her hands, "Alright, alright, we won't laugh at you anymore. You little greedy cat, you're always so greedy when there's something delicious. But, this is what our lovely Yuyu should be like."

Xiaoyu's gentle gaze fell on Yuyu, full of doting: "Everyone knows that you love eating glutinous rice balls the most. The most important thing today is that you enjoy eating them."

As he said that, Xiaoyu stood up and walked to Yuyu, gently touched her head, and pulled her back to her seat.

Li Hao ate his food politely but not slowly. As he ate, he shared his thoughts with Xiaoyu: "Mom, I think this peanut filling would be even sweeter if we added some honey."

There was a thoughtful glint in his eyes, and he nodded seriously after he finished speaking.

There was a little stuffing on the corner of his mouth, but he was completely unaware of it and was still seriously explaining his "food improvement plan."

Xiaoyu looked at him with a smile, her eyes full of love. She reached out and gently wiped the stains from the corners of his mouth. "Hao'er, you always have these novel ideas in your little head."

Xiaoyu had almost finished her meal and was mostly watching the children enjoy the food.

Her eyes were as gentle as water, as if she wanted to engrave this beautiful picture in her heart: "Eat slowly, don't choke." She said softly, her voice full of care.

Occasionally, she would pick up a glutinous rice ball and savor it slowly, feeling the sweetness spreading on her tongue, with a satisfied smile on her face.

That smile was like the last flower blooming in summer, bright and warm.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao also ate with gusto. Cheng Chumo smiled and said to Yuyu, "Yuyu, the way you eat is really funny. If outsiders saw you, they would think we were bullying you and not giving you anything to eat."

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, but his eyes were full of friendliness.

Qin Huaidao echoed from the side: "Yes, but these dumplings are indeed delicious, no wonder you eat them so happily."

The clothes they were wearing were slightly warm in the late summer sun, but this did not affect their mood of enjoying the food at all.

Ah Fu and Ah Cai also ate happily. They rarely have the opportunity to sit down and enjoy delicious food with everyone.

Ah Fu stuffed his mouth with glutinous rice balls and mumbled, "This is the best glutinous rice balls I've ever had. Xiaoyu's cooking skills are incredible."

Ah Cai smiled and nodded, her eyes curved into crescents: "Mm, it's really delicious. I feel like I'm surrounded by this sweetness."

Xiaoyu smiled from ear to ear after hearing everyone's praise, her face flushed. "Haha, as long as you like it, I prepared it carefully."

However, no matter how delicious the food is, there will come a time when you get full and tired of it.

After a while, Yu Yu touched her round belly, burped, and then smiled embarrassedly: "Mom, I can't eat anymore, I'm full." Her voice was laziness after satisfaction.

Li Hao also put down his spoon and leaned back in his chair: "I'm full too. I'm so stuffed from eating so much." A satisfied expression appeared on his face.

Xiaoyu looked at everyone with a smile: "It's good that everyone has eaten. It's the end of summer, and it's a blessing to have such a warm dinner together."

Xiaoyu stood up, patted her clothes gently, looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Let's go digest the food. We have eaten so many dumplings, we need to move around." There was anticipation in her eyes, and her gaze lingered on everyone's face.

Yuyu was the first to respond, jumping up excitedly: "Okay, okay, let's go out for a walk. I feel like I can't walk anymore. I need to digest these dumplings quickly."

As she spoke, she skipped over to Xiaoyu and shook her hand.

Li Hao also stood up and stretched: "It's good to walk around, otherwise I'll be too full."

He walked to the door, took down a small fan from the wall, and fanned himself slowly.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao smiled at each other and nodded in agreement: "This is a good idea. It's a good opportunity to see the scenery at the end of summer." Cheng Chumo said.

Ah Fu and Ah Cai did not go out with everyone to digest the food. They turned around and went back to the tavern and continued to be busy.

Ah Fu walked to the sink, picked up the kitchen knife again, and started to process the vegetables that had not been cut yet.

As he was chopping vegetables, he muttered, "I enjoyed the glutinous rice balls today, but I still have to get on with my work."

The rhythmic "tapping" sound of the kitchen knife hitting the chopping board rang out again. He stared intently at the dish in his hand, and beads of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead.

Ah Cai took a rag and carefully wiped the tables and chairs in the tavern: "Yes, yes, these dumplings are very slippery."
