Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Merchants and vendors also learned about the glass bottles for beer. Their eyes lit up and they gathered together to think, "Since these glass bottles are so exquisite and valuable, if we could get some and resell them, we'd make a fortune. We have to find a way to get them."

"Go ahead, this is something you can afford. The rich businessman will probably buy a glass bottle after a while."

After the ministers finished drinking beer and went back, they told the story of drinking beer and other drinks in the palace, and the news spread even more widely.

"What, what did you say?"

"Beer!"

Many people now know that there are such delicious beers and drinks, and they are all packaged in exquisite glass bottles.

"Yes, yes, there's also the glass bottle. Everyone knows about it recently. Don't you know about it?"

When the richest businessmen in the area heard this, they immediately became active.

"If you can get something this novel and delicious, it will be a great honor."

"And maybe I can make a fortune from this."

So, these wealthy families prepared generous gifts and hurried to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor. They said to Li Shimin with a smile on their faces: "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty has obtained delicious beer and delicious drinks, and the dishes are very exquisite."

"I'm truly curious. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and sell some to me and others to try. I'm willing to pay a high price for it."

After a moment's thought, Li Shimin raised his lips slightly and said slowly, "Since you are so interested, I will approve it. As for this drink, one thousand taels of silver per bottle is the lowest price."

"If several of you come together to buy, then whoever offers the highest price will win."

Li Shimin was secretly delighted when he saw several wealthy businessmen competing to bid. When the price of drinks and beer was raised to two thousand taels of silver per bottle.

He waved his hand and said loudly, "Haha, you are indeed wealthy and powerful. Since you value this novelty so much, I will grant you your wish."

"However, the quantity of these wines and drinks is limited. You are lucky to be able to purchase them at a high price today. So enjoy them."

"For the other two, I'll sell you one bottle each."

The wealthy merchant who had offered 1,300 taels hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise. This rare drink and beer is well worth the high price. Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty. I will savor it carefully."

The one who had bid fourteen hundred taels also quickly echoed: "Your Majesty, I have longed for this good thing, and today I have finally got it. From now on, I will always remember your majesty's great grace."

The one who made the highest bid was beaming with pride, saying loudly, "Your Majesty, I will not let this expensive purchase go to waste. I will enjoy it thoroughly and let others know that this treasure of yours is priceless."

Finally, several wealthy businessmen held the precious glass bottle with great joy and caution, thanked Li Shimin again and again, then slowly retreated and left the palace contentedly with their "trophies".

Li Shimin looked at their departing backs, with a smile on his face: "Hahaha, my treasury has been replenished."

Outside the palace, rumors about beer, drinks, and expensive glass bottles became more and more widespread after these wealthy businessmen bought wine in the palace.

Over at Zuixianlou, Yuyu's family was busy for a long time, and finally took a break when there were no more diners.

Yuyu had just sat down to catch her breath when she suddenly slapped her head. Her eyes widened as she hurriedly said, "Mom, there's a lamb. I was so busy roasting lamb for the emperor that I forgot about this little animal!"

After saying that, he quickly got up and ran to where the lamb was placed: "I'll go take a look first."

Yuyu carried the bleating lamb back to the front yard. Xiaoyu looked at the cute lamb and said with a smile, "Finally I remembered this little animal. Look how pitifully it cries. Yuyu, you have to take good care of it."

Li Hao also came over, gently touched the lamb's head, nodded in agreement, and said, "Yes, I was so busy today that I almost left it behind. Yuyu, give it some food and water later so it can have a good rest."

After hearing what his parents said, Yuyu nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes. I'll go check in the space to see if there's any goat milk. We can't let this little lamb starve. We have to feed it well and let it grow up well before grilling it."

After saying that, he put the lamb down in his arms. Xiaoyu took it and said, "Mee~Mee~"

Yuyu walked towards the place where the space items were placed, muttering softly: "System, find me some goat milk."

[Host, I thought you forgot about me. Here, this is goat milk, mixed with space spiritual spring water.]

She quickly took the goat milk and left the space: "Of course I haven't forgotten, the system is a good system"

After the little lamb drank the goat milk mixed with space spiritual spring water, its already round eyes instantly became brighter.

Xiaoyu said to Yuyu, "Look at it, bleating and jumping around at your feet, its tail wagging like a rattle. It looks so energetic, as if it knows it's drunk something really good."

Yuyu couldn't help but giggle at the cute appearance of the little lamb, and continued to tease it with joy: "Hahaha, that's right, this is added with Space Spirit Spring Water."

Yuyu touched the little lamb and said: "What do you think will happen if we give the little lamb some beer?"

Xiaoyu touched the lamb's feet and said, "Don't give the lamb beer. Beer contains alcohol, and the lamb's stomach is so delicate, it can't stand the stimulation of alcohol."

Li Hao nodded and gulped down his beer. "Yes, yes, if the lamb really drank beer, it would probably have gastrointestinal discomfort, vomiting and diarrhea, and become listless."

Yuyu quickly responded, "Alright, alright, let's not bother with the little lamb for now. Let's go back and have dinner."

As he spoke, he carefully picked up the lamb and placed it in the space: "Little lamb, stay in the space first. We will come to see you after we finish dinner."

After settling the lamb, Yu Yu and her family walked into the house chatting and laughing.

Xiaoyu walked into the house and said with a smile, "We've been busy all day today, so we have to treat ourselves. Let's have some sweet green plum soup, some cool drinks, and some delicious barbecue."

Yuyu nodded and said, "Let's cut some watermelon to help relieve the greasiness. The emperor should have sold the glass bottles."

Xiaoyu nodded. "That's probably right. The emperor sold the glass bottles of beer and drinks to the wealthy at a high price. I guess those wealthy people are carrying the bottles home right now."

Li Hao chewed a piece of watermelon and then some barbecue. "His Majesty the Emperor might be feeling quite proud right now, chewing on the delicious food prepared by the imperial kitchen while thinking about the considerable profit this glass bottle has brought him. He must be feeling really happy."
