Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

As they walked, Yuyu's eyes suddenly lit up. She grabbed Xiaoyu's hand and shouted excitedly, "Look, it's so lively over there. Let's go see what's going on."

As he said that, he couldn't wait to pull Xiaoyu to the lively place. She looked so curious, like a kitten that had discovered a new toy.

Xiaoyu staggered and said with a smile, "Slow down, little girl."

Yuyu didn't care. She turned back and urged as she ran: "Mom, please walk faster, or you'll see all the fun."

Li Hao looked at Yu Yu's anxious look from behind, smiled and shook his head, then quickened his pace to catch up.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao looked at each other, and were also infected by the lively atmosphere, so they followed behind.

When they got closer, they found that it was a group of people gathered around a ring.

Two young and strong men were fighting on the ring. Their moves were fierce and they were fighting back and forth, which drew cheers from the people around them.

Yuyu finally squeezed to the front, stood on tiptoe and looked around, shouting: "Amazing!"

Xiaoyu protected her from behind, fearing that she would be squeezed.

Li Hao also squeezed over and said excitedly: "This competition is really exciting. Looking at their skills, they must have some kung fu skills.

Cheng Chumo watched the fighting on the stage, frowned slightly, and said to Qin Huaidao: "Although these two people's kung fu is not bad, they still have some flaws."

Qin Huaidao nodded, "Yes, but in this Chang'an City, it's not surprising that there are such masters among the people."

At this time, a man on the ring gave a flying kick, forcing another man back to the edge of the ring, and the cheers from the surroundings became louder.

Yuyu also cheered, her eyes fixed on the ring, while she did not forget to hold the food box containing the dumplings tightly in her hands.

"Mom, look how majestic they are. I wish I could learn martial arts too."

Yuyu said with envy. Xiaoyu smiled and touched her head: "You are just a little girl, why do you want to learn martial arts? If you get hurt, your mother will be very sad."

Li Hao listened from the side and said unconvincedly: "Mom, I can learn martial arts. When I learn it well, I can protect our family."

Xiaoyu looked at Li Hao and said with relief, "It's good that you have this intention, but learning martial arts is not an easy thing. It requires a lot of hardship."

Just as everyone was talking, the situation on the ring changed again.

After the man who was forced to retreat stabilized his body, he launched a fierce counterattack. For a while, there were bursts of punches and the two men were in a stalemate again.

The people around were so excited that their blood was boiling, and some of them kept cheering for the side they favored.

Cheng Chumo looked at the arena and said to Qin Huaidao, "This martial arts competition is quite interesting. It seems that the people of Chang'an have a rich and colorful life. They even have this kind of martial arts competition."

Qin Huaidao smiled and responded, "Under Your Majesty's rule, Chang'an is naturally prosperous and bustling, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is normal to have these kinds of entertainment activities."

As Yuyu watched, an idea suddenly struck her. She said to Xiaoyu, "Mom, if our tavern could also hold such an event, it would surely attract many diners."

Xiaoyu was amused by her idea. "Why are you so full of strange ideas in your little head? Holding a competition in the tavern is not a good idea. It's too dangerous. But we can think of other interesting activities."

Yuyu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "Then we can hold a lantern riddle guessing event, just like the Lantern Festival."

Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, "That's a good idea. Let's discuss it with Chef Mi when we get back."

Everyone was watching the exciting competition, chatting and laughing at the lively arena, feeling the bustle and vitality of Chang'an. Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

Yuyu watched the competition for a while, then pulled Xiaoyu's hand and said, "Mom, let's go and have a look somewhere else."

Xiaoyu nodded, and the group left the bustling arena.

They continued walking along the street, and soon Yu Yu heard a noise coming from the front, which was even louder than the noise from the ring.

Her eyes suddenly lit up like two shining stars: "Mom, listen, it seems to be more lively over there, let's go and take a look."

Having said that, he ran over, looking so anxious as if he would miss out on something great if he was a step late.

Xiaoyu shouted from behind: "Yuyu, slow down, don't fall."

Li Hao also quickly caught up, shouting as he ran: "Wait for me."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao smiled at each other, quickened their pace and followed behind.

When they got closer, they found that the place was packed with people, with three layers of people surrounding it, making it impossible to get in or out.

Yuyu jumped up to take a look, but her small stature made it impossible for her to see what was inside.

She frowned and muttered, "Why are there so many people? I can't see anything."

Li Hao was also anxious: "What should we do?"

Cheng Chumo smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's try to squeeze in."

As he spoke, he led the way, squeezing out a gap in the crowd with gentle but firm strength.

Qin Huaidao protected Xiaoyu, Yuyu and Li Hao from behind to prevent them from being separated by the crowd.

Yuyu clutched onto the corner of Xiaoyu's clothes tightly, her eyes full of curiosity and anticipation, and she kept muttering, "What's so fun? So many people are coming to see it."

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "You'll know in a moment. You're just a curious little girl."

With Cheng Chumo's efforts, they finally slowly approached the center of the crowd.

The people were talking about it, and the noisy voices spread like waves: "I heard that there is a bully fighting!"

A woman carrying a basket said nervously, "I don't know who's so bold as to start a fight in broad daylight."

A man carrying a load nearby said, "That's right. The fight was quite noisy. There must be some deep hatred going on."

"This bully is used to being domineering. I don't know what tough guy he has offended this time." An old man in patched clothes narrowed his eyes, his face full of worry.

"I hope no innocent people like us are hurt." A young woman holding a child was terrified and hugged the child tightly in her arms.

"I just heard from the people in front of me that this bully is very vicious and his fists are as strong as hammers." A teenager described it vividly, with fear and excitement in his eyes.

"Whoever causes trouble in Chang'an City should be arrested." A man who looked like a scholar said indignantly, and he held the scroll in his hand even tighter.

Xiaoyu frowned and looked at Cheng Chumo and Qin Huai and said, "What should we do? It would be terrible if the bully hurts people."

Yuyu hid behind Xiaoyu, poked her head out, and looked nervously at the center of the crowd: "Mom, I'm a little scared."

Li Hao puffed out his chest and said, "Mom, let's stay away. It will be dangerous if they attack us."
