Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

The sunlight shines on the official road, creating a golden color.

Yuyu happily jumped onto the carriage, with Xiaoyu and Li Hao beside her. Outside the carriage were Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao riding horses.

"Mom, what do you think the new house the emperor will give us will look like?" Yu Yu's eyes flashed with anticipation as she held Xiao Yu's hand.

Xiaoyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Yuyu, I don't know either, but as long as it's our home, anything is fine."

Li Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. Even if the house is dilapidated, we can turn it into a paradise."

Yuyu's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, we have modern technology, let's renovate the mansion."

The house is magnificent, with a tall and majestic vermilion gate and the copper ring on the door shining golden in the sun.

Yuyu was the first to rush forward and gently stroked the door, "This door is so beautiful."

Li Hao pushed open the door and said, “This front yard is so spacious, and the ground is paved with stone slabs. It looks simple and ancient.”

Xiaoyu looked around and exclaimed, "This yard is really magnificent. I can put some flowers and plants in it later."

Cheng Chumo walked along the stone path and came to the main hall. "The beams and pillars in this hall are thick and strong, and the carvings are exquisite. The emperor is really thoughtful."

Yuyu looked up, and Xiaoyu looked at the carvings: "Look at these carvings, they are so ingenious, they are worthy of being an ancient mansion."

Li Hao also nodded in praise, "The reward from the Emperor is indeed extraordinary."

Cheng Chumo smiled and said, "This house used to be the residence of a minister, so it can't be bad."

A group of people walked through the main hall. Behind it was a large garden, but it was a little deserted now.

Li Hao frowned. "It's a pity to leave such a nice garden abandoned. It can be taken care of again."

Qin Huaidao joked on the side: "Li Hao has an idea. Once this garden is well maintained, it will surely be a breathtaking sight."

There are several side rooms on one side of the garden, and Yu Yu and his family checked each room one by one.

Xiaoyu walked into a room and touched the window frame. "This room is a bit shabby and needs to be repaired."

Yuyu ran to the window and looked out: "Mom, you can see the garden from here. It must be very cozy after it has been renovated."

Li Hao nodded and wiped the dust off the windowsill: "Yes, yes, replace it with a modern style, the kind with panoramic windows."

A group of people walked further back and arrived at the backyard of the house. Qin Huai said, "This backyard is extremely spacious."

Xiaoyu looked at the backyard and said thoughtfully: "This land can be used to grow some vegetables and fruits."

Yuyu clapped her hands and cheered: "This is a good idea, Mom. Eating vegetables grown by ourselves will definitely be delicious."

Li Hao nodded: "This large piece of land in the backyard is a treasure trove."

Yuyu walked back and forth: "I think we can plant a few peach trees. When the pink and tender peach blossoms bloom, they will be like clouds in the sky falling into the yard. When the peaches are ripe, they will hang on the branches, big and sweet."

"Mom, isn't that right?"

Xiaoyu smiled and nodded: "I have seen peach trees in TV dramas. They must look beautiful if planted."

Yuyu was digging through a pile of mud: "Yes, it's a pity that our technology can't make mobile phones."

Li Hao leaned against the tree and said, "What are you thinking about? If there were mobile phones in ancient times, can it still be called ancient times? This is called modern times."

Cheng Chumo folded his hands: "What is this phone?"

Xiaoyu shook her head: "It's just a kind of...carpentry."

Yuyu brushed off the dirt and said, "Yes."

Xiaoyu patted Yuyu's hand and said, "Pear trees are essential. Pears are juicy and delicious. Plant a few apple trees too. The bright red apples will be a delight to look at."

Li Hao picked a leaf and said, "As for green vegetables, leeks grow back in waves. They grow again after you cut them. Right, right, right. If you plant some Shanghai greens, the stir-fries will taste the best."

Li Hao looked at the vast land in the backyard, touched his chin and said, "This land is so big, watering it will be a hassle in the future."

Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and she smiled and said, "I have an idea. We can install an automatic sprinkler system in the field."

Yuyu blinked her big eyes and said, "Mom, I don't even remember how to make an automatic water spraying device."

Xiaoyu squatted down and drew on the ground with a branch: "We can use bamboo to make pipes, connect them together, place one end at the water source, drill a small hole in the bamboo, and then install a faucet."

"When watering, just turn on the tap and water will spray out from those small holes, just like rain. When you're done, just turn it off. It's very convenient."

Cheng Chumo smiled and nodded: "That's a great idea. This way, it can really save a lot of effort."

Qin Huaidao also agreed: "That's right, but this is a big project, it needs to be carefully planned."

Li Hao stood up and brushed off the dirt. "Then let's start preparing the materials and try to get this automatic sprinkler system ready as soon as possible so that our vegetables and fruits can get enough water and grow big and healthy."

Yuyu muttered to Xiaoyu: "We still have spiritual spring water in our space."

Xiaoyu: "Don't pour so much spiritual spring water, if the spiritual spring water is gone, it will be gone."

Yuyu waved her hands: "Don't worry, how could the system let the spiritual spring water disappear?"

Li Hao, Cheng Chumo, and Qin Huaidao had already walked a little further away. Cheng Chumo asked, "What are you guys whispering about?"

Li Hao nodded: "Yes, yes, let's go"

Xiaoyu pulled Yuyu and ran: "I'm coming right away"

Xiaoyu stood in the middle of the front yard, frowning as she looked at the bumpy ground beneath her feet. "The ground in the front yard is full of potholes. When it rains, there's mud everywhere. What should I do?"

Yuyu came over and responded, "Yeah, it's easy to get your shoes and skirt dirty if you walk like that."

Li Hao nodded: "It is indeed time to repair it, but how to repair it is a problem."

Yuyu's eyes lit up: "How about we pave the floor with cement? It will be flat and clean."

Cheng Chumo was a little confused: "Cement? What is this? I've never heard of it."

Yuyu explained with a smile, "This cement is very strong after mixing, and the paved surface is flat and smooth. Let's spread it in the front yard, so it will be convenient for walking and easy to clean in the future."

Qin Huaidao touched his head and said, "It sounds good, but it may not be easy to find all the materials."

Li Hao pondered for a moment and said, "It's not easy, but for the sake of living comfortably in the future, we can try to look for it and ask around. Maybe we can find a way to make this cement."

Yuyu clapped her hands and said, "Yes, let's work together to renovate this front yard and give it a brand new look."

Yuyu pulled Xiaoyu's arm, her eyes sparkling and her face full of excitement. "Mom, it would be great if we could use this method in Zuixianlou. Zuixianlou has so many people coming and going, and the floor is always dirty and wet. If we paved it with cement, it would definitely be clean and tidy."

Xiaoyu patted Yuyu's hand gently and said with a smile, "You have a good idea, girl. But we still need to think carefully about the cement. If it really works, it will not only benefit our house, but also Zuixianlou."
