Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Inside the palace, the emperor was reviewing memorials when a guard stepped forward and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, the Zuixian Tower outside the palace is closed again."

The emperor raised his eyes and asked with interest, "Oh? Why?"

The guard reported back, "I heard that Yuyu and her family went out again. They must be looking for something delicious. I think they'll have some new delicacies."

The emperor raised his lips and said, "I'm waiting. I will definitely try their delicacies."

Yu Yu's family, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao had been walking all the way and now they had reached the halfway point of Cuiping Mountain.

Yuyu's face flushed from running, and she licked her dry lips: "I'm so thirsty."

Xiaoyu quickly took out an ancient water bag from her bag and handed it to Yuyu: "Drink some water first, and then have some iced drinks after hunting and barbecue. Drinking iced drinks now can hurt your body."

Yuyu took the water bag, gulped down a few big gulps, and wiped the corners of her mouth: "Mom, this water has no taste. I'm still tasting better with iced drinks. I'll drink a few more bottles later."

Xiaoyu tapped Yuyu's forehead and said, "You're the only one who's greedy, but you can't drink too much. Drinking too much cold water will give you a stomachache."

Cheng Chumo smiled and said, "When we kill some big prey, we can go back and enjoy some iced drinks and barbecue."

When Yuyu heard this, her eyes lit up again: "Okay, okay, okay"

Cheng Chumo suggested: "Let's split up. This way we can expand our search area and maybe catch more prey."

Li Hao nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's meet up at the riverside then. Everyone be careful."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao each chose a direction, took their bows and arrows and went hunting.

Yu Yu's family also chose a direction. Yu Yu, Xiao Yu and Li Hao slowly moved forward in the chosen direction.

Yuyu followed Xiaoyu closely and whispered, "Mom, can we catch any prey?"

Xiaoyu responded softly: "Yes, as long as we are careful."

Li Hao cautiously led the way ahead, always keeping an eye on the surroundings: "We don't know how to use bows and arrows, but we can make traps and mousetraps."

Xiaoyu nodded and fiddled with the branches and vines, saying, "First, we'll cross these branches like this to make a square frame, and then secure it with vines like this."

Yuyu watched carefully from the side and nodded continuously: "Yes, yes, we catch small prey, and they have bows and arrows to catch big prey."

Xiaoyu also smiled and helped: "Smaller prey like rabbits and wild ducks are fine."

Li Hao took the trap to a path where prey often appeared and carefully disguised it. "Let's go make a few more traps and wait for the prey to take the bait."

Xiaoyu's eyes lit up. "Yes, we can use traps for big prey, not just small prey. Let's find a wider area, use thicker branches and tougher vines, and make a few big traps."

Yuyu clapped her hands and cheered: "Then let's go quickly. If we can catch a big prey, Brother Cheng and Brother Qin will definitely look at us with new eyes."

"But you have to be careful and don't hurt yourself when setting the trap. The trap for big prey must be very powerful." Xiaoyu nodded.

So the three of them walked towards the other side.

Over there, Cheng Chumo was walking alone through the forest, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, searching for traces of prey: "There should be a lot of prey in this area..."

Suddenly, a fat musk deer appeared in his sight. He curled his lips, quickly put an arrow on the bow and drew it in one go.

With a "whoosh" sound, the sharp arrow accurately hit the musk deer. The musk deer struggled for a few times and then fell to the ground motionless.

Cheng Chumo smiled complacently: "This prey is really fat. When we meet up with Li Hao and the others later, we will have something to show off."

After saying this, he skillfully tied up the musk deer, carried it on his shoulders, and continued hunting while heading towards the confluence at the river.

Over there, Yuyu, Xiaoyu and Lihao were lying quietly in the grass, holding their breath and concentrating. Xiaoyu: "Shh! Be quiet, Yuyu!"

Yuyu stared at the trap set not far away: "It can't find it."

Suddenly, a black shadow flew past their eyes with a whoosh, so fast that they could only catch a blurry shadow.

Yuyu couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh, what flew past so quickly?"

Li Hao's face was already showing joy. He lowered his voice and said excitedly, "Look at this movement, it must have fallen into our trap. Let's go out and take a look."

Xiaoyu nodded slightly, and the three of them carefully stood up from the grass and moved quietly towards the trap.

When I got closer and took a closer look, I saw a chicken with bright feathers in the trap.

Flutter~Flutter~

It was flapping its wings, trying to break free from the trap, but it was in vain.

Yuyu clapped her hands excitedly and shouted: "Wow, it's a beautiful pheasant!"

Li Hao also smiled: "Haha, this pheasant looks really plump and delicious. It will definitely taste delicious when roasted later."

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's get it out and tie it up first, so it won't run away again."

As they spoke, the three of them prepared to deal with this unexpected prey.

Xiaoyu was just about to catch the pheasant in the trap.

Yuyu suddenly shouted, "Wait, there's another furry one down there!"

Xiaoyu was surprised: "What?"

Li Hao took a closer look and exclaimed in surprise, "It's a weasel, really! That's great! They say weasels catch chickens, and they're both in the trap, so neither can escape."

Xiaoyu was also a little surprised, but still smiled and said, "This is really a coincidence. However, weasels are very cunning. Be careful when catching them, and don't let them bite you."

Yu Yu clapped his hands and cheered: "It's so fun to catch two at once!" His little face was flushed with excitement, and his eyes were full of pride.

Li Hao also grinned from ear to ear, and while grinning, he hurriedly said: "Haha, I really didn't expect this, this luck is too good, now I have a rich harvest to show off to Brother Chu Mo, Brother Huai Dao and the others."

Although Xiaoyu also showed a look of joy, she was calmer than the other two children. She smiled and scolded, "Look at how happy you two are. Don't be so happy just yet. Hurry and carefully get them out and tie them up. Don't let your prey get away."

Over there, Qin Huaidao was wandering alone through the mountains and forests, his eyes sharp as torches, carefully searching for traces of prey.

He approached a bush quietly with light steps, and at that moment, a fawn appeared in a clearing in the forest not far away.

Qin Huaidao's eyes flashed, and he quickly put the arrow on the bow and pulled the bow, his movements done in one smooth motion.

With a whoosh, the sharp arrow flew through the air and shot accurately towards the deer.

Unfortunately, the deer seemed to be alert and jumped up when the arrow was about to hit it. The arrow flew past its body and finally got stuck in the tree.
