Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

As Cheng Chumo spoke, he began to sweep diligently. The broom in his hand was like a spear, stirring up a strong wind.

Qin Huaidao walked to the wine cabinet, picked up the wine vessel and examined it carefully: "This wine vessel is simple and elegant, but the placement could be more sophisticated."

He methodically adjusted the positions of the wine vessels, instantly adding a lot of color to the wine cabinet.

Wei Shuyu took the initiative to take on the task of cleaning the windows. His movements were gentle and the glass was wiped until it was crystal clear.

Li Dejian looked around the tavern and offered suggestions for improvement from time to time: "We could set up a reception table at the entrance and put some flowers there to add some elegance."

Fang Yiai pulled Yuyu along and followed Sister Cai to learn how to arrange the tables and chairs: "Yuyu, see if I'm doing it right?"

Yuyu laughed so hard that she fell backwards: "Brother Fang, the table is tilted!"

Wu Liao moved quietly among the crowd, always paying attention to the movements around him to ensure everyone's safety.

With everyone working together, the tavern was quickly set up.

Brand new lanterns are hung high, flowers and green plants are scattered around, and the air is filled with the aroma of wine and flowers.

Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction: "This way, Zuixianlou will definitely attract more customers."

Xiaoyu's eyes were slightly red as she thanked him repeatedly: "With the help of His Highness and the other gentlemen, this year will surely be a year of good harvest."

Cheng Chumo patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Madam Boss, if Zuixianlou has any difficulties in the future, just come to us!"

The laughter of the crowd echoed in the tavern, adding a bit of liveliness and vitality to this spring day.

Xiaoyu took out red envelopes and copper coins and asked everyone to give red envelopes

Cheng Chumo and others were busy putting the red envelopes and copper coins into each red envelope according to Xiaoyu's instructions, with two copper coins in each red envelope.

More than three hundred red envelopes is not a small number. They sat around a large table filled with copper coins, concentrating on filling the red envelopes. For a while, the only sound they could hear was the crisp sound of the copper coins colliding.

Yu Yu was not to be outdone. She squeezed her small body among the crowd and helped to hand out the red envelopes seriously.

She looked at Cheng Chumo for a while, and saw that his hands were flying, and the copper coins fell into the red envelope one after another accurately. However, he was careless and occasionally put one extra coin in, which made Qin Huaidao beside him shake his head helplessly and readjust.

After a while, he looked at Wei Shuyu again. Wei Shuyu's movements were elegant, and each red envelope was folded neatly, as if he was completing a work of art.

As the sun rose higher, red envelopes filled with copper coins piled up like a small mountain on the table.

Finally, the task of packing the red envelopes was completed.

Cheng Chumo stood up, stretched his aching back, and shouted, "Finally, the packing is done. Time to hand out the red envelopes!"

Yuyu nodded: "Yeah, I didn't expect it would take me the whole morning to wrap up red envelopes."

Everyone picked up a stack of red envelopes and followed Xiaoyu to the front of the tavern.

More than 300 workers had already lined up in an orderly manner, each with an expectant smile on their face.

Xiaoyu stood on the steps and cleared her throat. "Happy New Year, everyone! Thanks to everyone's hard work over the past year, Zuixianlou and the factory have been able to prosper. This red envelope is a small token of our appreciation. I wish you all a prosperous new year!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Chumo and others began to distribute red envelopes.

The workers lined up and went forward one by one to receive their gifts.

The workers who received the red envelopes were all smiles. Some couldn't wait to open the red envelopes, looking at the copper coins inside, muttering, "The boss is so generous!"

Some carefully put the red envelopes into their arms and thanked Xiaoyu and the people who gave them the red envelopes.

An old worker with gray hair took the red envelope handed to him by Cheng Chumo with both hands, his eyes welling up: "I have worked here for so many years, and I can receive red envelopes from my employer every year. It warms my heart!"

Cheng Chumo patted the old man on the shoulder and said, "Old man, I hope you stay healthy in the new year!"

Brother Afu and Sister Acai also moved among the crowd, handing red envelopes to every worker.

Sister Acai greeted everyone softly and gave New Year's blessings to the female workers.

Brother Afu distributed red envelopes and joked with the young workers, and the square was filled with laughter.

Wu Liao stood quietly by, looking around vigilantly, guarding the safety of the scene.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian looked at the lively scene before him, nodded slightly, and praised Xiaoyu: "The boss lady not only does a good job in business, but also treats the workers so well. It is really admirable."

Xiaoyu smiled modestly and said, "This is all thanks to everyone's support. Many hands make light work."

The morning passed like this

When the last red envelope was distributed, Xiaoyu went up the stairs again and clapped her hands to attract the workers' attention.

"Fellow villagers, you all reported for duty today and received red envelopes. Thank you for your hard work! Everyone, go home first, reunite with your families, and have a hot meal. Tomorrow at dawn, we will start work with full energy!"

Upon hearing this, the workers nodded in agreement, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Farewells echoed from the crowd.

"Madam, see you tomorrow!"

"I wish the boss a prosperous business in the new year!"

Everyone said their blessings and turned to leave one after another.

Cheng Chumo watched the departing workers and said with emotion, "Boss, the workers are so obedient to your orders. It shows that you have a high reputation!"

Xiaoyu smiled and waved her hands: "It's all because of the face you give me. These workers follow me, and we are like a family."

Brother Afu and Sister Acai began to clean up the scattered paper scraps in the square, and Yuyu jumped up and helped. Qin Huaidao closed his folding fan and suggested, "Now that the workers have gone home, let's take this opportunity to rest and taste Zuixianlou's signature wine."

Everyone responded.

Back in the tavern, Li Hao had already set up the tables and chairs and took out his treasured peach blossom wine.

As soon as the wine jar was opened, the rich aroma of wine spread instantly.

Li Chengqian picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and praised: "This wine is smooth and mellow, with a long aftertaste. It is worthy of being the fine wine of Zuixianlou!"

Li Dejian also nodded and said: "Boss, in the new year, why not promote this peach blossom wine to other states and capitals? It will surely be very popular."

Xiaoyu's eyes lit up: "Mr. Li, this is a very good suggestion! However, expanding the business still requires long-term planning."

While drinking, Fang Yiai talked about interesting New Year stories with a cheerful face, which made everyone laugh.

Wu Liao still stood in the corner, silently guarding everyone.

Outside the window, the spring sunshine shines on the tavern's sign, and the three big words "Zuixianlou" are shining.

This day, from the busy preparations to the lively distribution of red envelopes, to the pleasant gathering at this moment, is full of warmth and hope.

Xiaoyu looked at the people around her, her heart filled with emotion.

In the new year, with so many like-minded partners, the future of Zuixianlou will surely be bright.

Li Chengqian's praise was still ringing in her ears. Xiaoyu suddenly slapped her forehead and said with a smile, "Look at my memory. How can there be wine without delicious food? Hao'er, take out all the ingredients we prepared for the New Year. Today, we must let everyone taste Zuixianlou's specialty dishes."

Li Hao responded and walked quickly to the kitchen.

A moment later, the sound of spatulas colliding was heard from the kitchen.
