Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Yuyu happily took a few skewers of roasted mutton, trotted over to Li Shimin, and said crisply: "Your Majesty, the roasted mutton is ready, please try it."

Li Shimin looked at the tempting roasted lamb in front of him with a smile on his face. He took a skewer and took a light bite.

The crispy outside and tender inside texture spreads instantly in your mouth. The delicious taste of the lamb mixed with the fragrance of the seasoning is wonderful.

Li Shimin could not help but nod repeatedly: "Mm, this delicacy is really wonderful! I have never tasted such delicious food in the palace. This grilling method is really interesting. I like it very much."

After saying this, he began to eat with relish. Seeing that the emperor was so satisfied with the meal, the people around him also smiled.

Li Shimin was enjoying his meal, chewing the delicious barbecued lamb, when Xiaoyu came over and said, "Emperor, the wine is here."

Yuyu took a sip of the drink: "This is beer, the kind General Cheng mentioned before."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up. He put down the mutton skewers in his hand, took the glass bottle and looked at it carefully. He saw that the bottle was extremely transparent and reflected colorful light in the sunlight, which was very beautiful.

"Haha, this glass bottle is really unique. I want to try this beer and see how it tastes. How is it different from the beer I usually drink?"

After saying that, he asked his servant to open the bottle cap and took a sip.

Gudong~

As soon as it enters the mouth, the refreshing feeling comes over you, which is very different from the mellow wines in the past. The bubbles burst in your mouth.

The unique taste made Li Shimin slightly startled, then he burst into laughter: "Haha, this beer has a novel taste, and it is quite enjoyable when paired with this barbecued lamb."

After that, he picked up the lamb skewers and started chewing them: "Okay, okay, you guys come and have barbecue too."

Xiaoyu quickly knelt and saluted, with a grateful smile on her face, and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I hope you enjoy your meal."

After saying that, he stood up, and came over with Yu Yu and Li Hao, carefully picked up the lamb skewers, and enjoyed this delicious barbecue with Li Shimin.

Li Shimin chewed on a skewer of lamb and shouted, "Come here, cut some thin slices of this roasted lamb and share them with the people around here."

"I'm enjoying such delicious food today, and I want to share it with the people, so that everyone can feel the flavor of this barbecue."

Upon receiving the order, the servants immediately got busy, carefully cutting the roasted mutton into thin slices and distributing them to the people surrounding them.

The people were stunned at first, then they took it with joy, shouting, "Your Majesty is wise and wise. Thank you for the reward. Long live the king!"

Then they couldn't wait to taste it. The lively and cheerful scene filled the entire Zuixianlou with joy and peace.

The emperor chewed and drank: "What is the name of this wine?"

Yuyu put down the mutton and said: "Your Majesty, beer."

Li Shimin nodded slightly and took another sip of the beer. The refreshing feeling spread in his mouth again. He said with interest, "This beer is quite novel. It has a refreshing taste and bubbling bubbles. It is very different from the wine I usually drink. Well, it has a unique flavor when paired with this roast lamb. It's very interesting, very interesting."

After saying that, he picked up another skewer of roasted lamb and started chewing it.

Li Shimin burped loudly, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Burp~ I'm full. This barbecued lamb and beer taste really good. I'm going back to the palace."

He was about to get up and return to the palace when Xiaoyu hurried forward, knelt and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, wait a minute. It is my honor that Your Majesty is satisfied with the meal today. Here is some beer. Your Majesty may wish to take some back to the palace and enjoy it slowly."

Yuyu also shouted crisply beside him: "Yes, yes, the beer is delicious. Your Majesty, please take some back."

Li Hao swiftly brought over a basket containing twelve bottles of beer and twelve bottles of drinks neatly arranged inside. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, we still have quite a bit of beer. Take it all with you and try this new flavor in your spare time."

Li Shimin smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I will take these beers back to the palace."

After saying this, he returned to the palace with his attendants.

As the emperor and his entourage left, the crowd that had gathered in front of Zuixian Tower gradually dispersed.

Yu Yu and his family hurried back to the tavern, and as soon as they settled in, many diners came one after another.

Yu Yu's family immediately became busy again. Xiaoyu started cooking, Yu Yu helped serve wine and food, and Li Hao was washing the vegetables.

Li Shimin returned to the palace and ordered his attendants, "Bring out three or four bottles of the basket of beer we brought back from Zuixianlou."

After the ministers entered the palace, he smiled and asked everyone to sit around.

"My dear ministers, I found a new and interesting thing outside the palace today. It is this wine in a glass bottle, called beer."

"This wine has a refreshing taste and bubbling bubbles. It is very different from what we usually drink. It tastes even better when paired with the barbecued lamb. Come, try it." After saying this, he signaled the attendants to open the bottle cap and pour it for the ministers one by one.

Upon seeing this, the ministers hurriedly bowed in thanks and took the wine glasses.

Some ministers were surprised by the peculiar taste and were slightly stunned: "Your Majesty, this wine is truly novel and interesting, with a unique flavor. Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty, so that we can also have such good wine."

Upon hearing this, several princes and princesses immediately gathered around, tugging at Li Shimin's clothes and coquettishly saying, "Father, father, we also want to drink that new wine. It looks very interesting."

Li Shimin frowned and said in feigned anger, "Nonsense! This beer is not for you to drink. You are just children, why are you drinking it?"

As he spoke, he ordered his servants to bring over a few bottles of sweet drinks and handed them to the princes and princesses: "Take these drinks, they are also sweet and delicious. Don't pester me for wine anymore, be good."

Although the princes and princesses were somewhat reluctant, they did not dare to say anything more. They could only pout as they took the drinks and dispersed while muttering to themselves.

A minister held up the beer bottle and examined it carefully: "Your Majesty, these bottles are made of colored glass? Look at their transparent appearance, they are very exquisite. If they were sold, they would surely be worth a lot of money."

The other ministers nodded in agreement after hearing this: "Yes, yes, this kind of glassware has always been precious. Such a beautiful bottle is rare. It is indeed very valuable."

Li Shimin smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Haha, my dear ministers, although these glass bottles are exquisite, now that I have this new beer, it would be interesting to keep these bottles and fill them with more beer. Let's not think about selling them for now."

After the people from Zuixianlou dispersed, the news that Zuixianlou had glass bottles of beer spread quickly.

People were talking about it in the streets and alleys: "Have you heard that the emperor was drinking beer in the Zuixianlou, and the beer was put in a glass bottle."
