Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Li Hao heard this and came over to say, "Yuyu is right. Zuixianlou is a bustling place in the city. If the ground level can be improved, business might even improve. This is a big project."

Cheng Chumo laughed heartily. "If this cement floor can really be laid in Zuixianlou, we will become the talk of the town. Everyone will know that this magical floor was created by us."

Qin Huaidao also nodded: "Then we have to finish the cement floor of the house first, and then lay the cement floor of Zuixianlou."

Yuyu jumped excitedly, "Yes, that's it. By then, Zuixianlou will be completely new, and we will look very impressive walking on the cement floor."

"Back to Zuixianlou"

On the second day, the sunlight shone through the mottled leaves onto Yu Yu's family, Cheng Chumo, and Qin Huaidao.

Xiaoyu put her hands on her hips and said with high spirits, "Let's start making cement today and clean up our house."

Yuyu blinked her big eyes, her face full of curiosity: "Mom, how do you make this cement?"

Xiaoyu scratched his head and thought for a moment: "As far as I remember, we need limestone, clay or something like that. Let's look for those materials first."

Li Hao nodded in agreement: "That's right, there might be one in the nearby mountains. Let's split up and look for it."

So, everyone started to work on the surrounding mountains.

Yuyu and Xiaoyu found a lot of limestone on a hillside. Yuyu shouted excitedly: "Come on, there are so many limestones here!"

Li Hao and Cheng Chumo rushed over after hearing the noise. Cheng Chumo looked at the limestone and said with a smile, "Yuyu, you are really good."

After collecting the limestone and clay, the next step is firing.

Qin Huaidao frowned: "How can I burn this?"

Yuyu rolled her eyes and said, "We can use an earthen kiln, just like we do for making pottery."

Yuyu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Everyone, work harder. Once the kiln is built and the materials are fired, we'll be one step closer to success!"

Xiaoyu's mother smiled and replied, "Yes, we have to be careful and tamp every piece of soil firmly."

Brother Li Hao was busy while shouting, "Don't be lazy, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaidao, hold steady over there."

Cheng Chumo patted the dirt off his body and said: "Don't worry, Brother Hao, there will be no problem on our side. We will definitely build this earthen kiln firmly."

Qin Huaidao also nodded: "That's right, once we burn out good materials, we will have great use for them."

After some effort, the cement finally took shape.

Xiaoyu's face was covered in mud, but she smiled brightly: "Look, we succeeded!"

Li Hao looked at the pile of cement and said with relief, "Now we can start paving the floor."

Cheng Chumo volunteered: "I'll go get someone to help. This is quite a big project."

Soon, Cheng Chumo brought back ten people: "Here they are, these ten people."

Yuyu shouted to them, "Listen up everyone! We'll earn two guan (two strings of cash) a day, and we'll have lunch from a big pot. Let's work hard!"

When those people heard this, they all became excited: "There's also a big pot of rice to eat, great!"

Start paving the floor inside the house.

Yuyu directed: "It needs to be paved flat here, and don't leave any gaps in the corners either."

Yuyu helped spread the cement with a small shovel, saying as she worked, "This cement is so sticky, it's really fun."

Li Hao reminded the workers: "Be careful, we will be walking on this floor every day."

The house was bustling with work, and Xiaoyu would check the progress and quality from time to time: "It's a little uneven here, let's fix it a little more."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao were also busy helping to move the cement: "Move, move, move!"

After the floor inside the house is laid, we start paving the entrance and surrounding roads.

Yuyu stood at the door and gestured: "This road needs to be wider so that carriages can enter and exit more easily."

The workers followed Yu Yu's request and laid it carefully: "Okay"

Qin Huaidao smiled and said, "Once this road is paved, we won't have to worry about stepping on mud when we go out on rainy days."

The road gradually took shape. Yuyu looked at it and nodded with satisfaction: "It's really good. This road looks comfortable."

Xiaoyu clapped her hands aside: "Yuyu, our family is getting better and better."

The last major project was to build a water tower not far from the mountain behind the house.

"Let's go to the mountain."

Everyone came to the mountain with tools and cement.

Yuyu looked at the terrain and said, "The water tower will be built here. It will be convenient to use water in the future."

Xiaoyu nodded: "Building a water tower is not easy. We have to lay a solid foundation first."

Li Hao instructed the workers: "The foundation must be stable, otherwise the water tower will not stand."

Yuyu was handing out cement and jokingly said, "This water tower will be our treasure in the future. We need to build it solidly and not look like that shoddy construction."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao were responsible for lifting the heavy objects, and both were sweating profusely from exhaustion.

Cheng Chumo shouted, "The water tower is finished, we have to celebrate."

Qin Huaidao responded with a smile: "That's right, the scenery here will be beautiful when the time comes."

As time went by, the water tower gradually took shape.

Yuyu climbed up to a higher place, looked at the water tower, and said proudly, "We are really amazing. We did all this by ourselves."

Xiaoyu shouted from below: "Yuyu, be careful."

Yuyu nodded: "After everyone's efforts, the water tower is finally built, swaying~"

Everyone stood under the water tower, looking at it, their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Yuyu smiled and said to everyone, "This is all thanks to everyone. Our house is now perfect."

Everyone cheered and laughter echoed through the mountains.

Xiaoyu: "Okay, just pave the cement road over to Zuixianlou and we'll be done.

Everyone immediately went to Zuixianlou to lay cement.

Yuyu took a shovel and said as she shoveled the cement, "This cement must be spread evenly. Zuixianlou will need a solid floor to attract diners in the future."

Xiaoyu nodded in agreement and carefully smoothed every spot of cement.

Brother Li Hao was the stronger one and was in charge of carrying the cement. He called out, "Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaidao, take care of the edges and corners."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao responded and carefully filled the corners of Zuixianlou with cement to ensure that it fit perfectly.

The cement road of Zuixianlou was successfully paved. After everyone cheered for a while, they hurriedly started to prepare to cook a big pot of rice.

Yu Yu washes rice and vegetables, while Xiao Yu prepares to cook.

Li Hao went to bring a big pot and put it on the stove, while Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao helped to light the fire.

Xiaoyu brought the fried dishes to the table one by one, and the aroma spread instantly.

The ten helpers sat around the table and started eating from the big pot.

"This dish is so delicious. Zuixianlou's cooking is indeed excellent."

"Yes, I've been busy for so long, just looking forward to this hot meal."

Another picked up a large piece of roast pork and said as he ate, "Everyone has worked hard today. This is a very enjoyable meal!"

Cheng Chumo stuffed his mouth with rice and mumbled, "Yes, yes, this big pot of rice tastes better when we all eat together."
