Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Xiaoyu came over and said, "You don't need to bring too many vegetables and chickens and ducks. Just enough for our new house to eat for one day. This is because we are going to start cooking in the new house."

Yuyu nodded: "Yes, two or three chickens and ducks will be enough. As for the vegetables, pick some fresh ones."

Xiaoyu agreed: "Yes, yes, we still have to pick some fruit."

Li Hao hummed a little tune and nodded while carrying a basket of vegetables.

Cheng Chumo was carrying a few chickens and ducks, his face sweating but still smiling: "Haha"

Qin Huaidao, holding a wine jar in the back, responded, "That's right, this house has a homely feel only with these foods. After we settle in, we have to go get some fresh food."

After finishing the work at the house, the three of them came to the stream.

Li Hao's eyes lit up and he pointed at the fish in the water: "Look, these fish are fat and big. Catch a few and bring them back to let Yu Yu and the others taste them." As he said that, he reached out to scoop them up, splashing water.

Cheng Chumo was also busy. He spotted a large lobster and shouted excitedly, "Good fellow, we can't let this lobster go. Qin Huaidao, come and help."

Qin Huaidao took off his shoes and scolded with a smile: "You two, you only know how to find good things. This lobster claw is really big, don't pinch me."

After a while, Li Hao caught a fish, held it up and said proudly, "Look, this fish is so lively! We'll have fish to eat tonight!"

Cheng Chumo also controlled the lobster and laughed, "This big lobster, paired with the wine we brought, is fantastic! The Yuyu family will definitely be happy."

Qin Huaidao threw the fish he caught into the bucket: "Of course not, we are here to celebrate their new home, so it must be a big feast."

At this time, Yuyu and Xiaoyu also arrived. Yuyu looked at the fish and said, "You caught a lot of fish in just a short time?"

Li Hao pointed at a dark figure in the water in the distance and shouted excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, look, there's a big fish over there. I've never seen anything like it before. What kind of fish is it?"

Cheng Chumo stretched his neck to peer in, his face full of curiosity. "Looking at this, it looks like it's a rare creature. Maybe it's a magical fish that brings good luck."

Qin Huaidao also became interested. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to get closer, speculating: "Maybe it's a koi. Koi of this size are rare. If we catch one, our new house will be blessed with good fortune."

Yu Yu jumped up and down on the shore and shouted, "Catch it quickly! Whatever fish it is, it must be delicious."

Xiaoyu also shouted: "Yes, if it is delicious, we can eat it for a long time."

Li Hao dove into the water, splashing a lot of water. After a struggle, he emerged with the fish tightly in his hands and shouted, "I caught it! I didn't expect it to be a koi. Look at the color, it's so beautiful!"

Cheng Chumo's face was filled with surprise. "It's really a koi! You can't eat it, you have to keep it. It's an auspicious sign. The new house will surely be blessed with great fortune."

Qin Huaidao nodded repeatedly: "That's right, put it in the water tank quickly. Once this koi comes, it feels like good things will come to you."

Yuyu opened his eyes wide and ran over: "Wow, what a beautiful koi, are you really not allowed to eat it? But it's so beautiful, it's nice to keep it."

Xiaoyu reached out and gently touched the koi's scales: "Then we will keep it in the new house and let it bring us lots of good luck."

Li Hao carefully held the water tank, and the koi fish inside swam happily. "Okay, okay, let's go back. We need to take good care of these koi fish."

Cheng Chumo picked up the bucket of fish and shrimp and said with a smile, "Let's go back and prepare to cook. This meal will definitely be lively today."

Qin Huaidao, carrying his tools, responded, "Yes, the first meal in the new house, accompanied by this koi, is wonderful."

Yuyu was running ahead, jumping and skipping: "Hurry up, hurry up, I can smell the delicious food."

Xiaoyu also took Yuyu's hand and shouted happily: "Let's go back and have a big meal. There are also new friends, Koi."

Li Hao held the water tank and said as he walked, "I heard that this koi fish eats aquatic plants, fish worms and the like. We have to take good care of it."

Cheng Chumo nodded beside him: "Yes, when we get back, let's make a small pond in the yard, plant some aquatic plants, and put some fish and insects in it so that it can eat its fill."

Qin Huaidao smiled and continued, "Maybe it likes to eat some rice grains. We can give it a try. But you can't feed it blindly. You have to take good care of it."

Yuyu tilted her head and asked, "Where can we find fish worms? This koi is so beautiful, we can't let it starve."

Xiaoyu also looked worried: "Yes, if it can't find any fish worms, will it starve and become thin?"

Li Hao quickened his pace: "Alright, alright, let's go back and check, don't let the chickens and ducks really run away."

Cheng Chumo also took a few quick steps and said, "Yeah, if it runs away, it will be troublesome. We will have to catch it again."

Qin Huaidao looked around as he walked: "They shouldn't run away. Didn't we arrange for them to be settled when we left?"

Yuyu was running in the front: "If they run away, the feast will be gone, go back quickly"

Xiaoyu also shouted: "Yes, yes, I will go back and take a look as well."

Li Hao put down the bucket: "How is it?"

Xiaoyu took the bucket over and said, "He didn't run away."

"That's good"

Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "So, I told you that you wouldn't run away. You're all right here. I'm relieved now."

Cheng Chumo also grinned and nodded: "Yeah, it's good that he didn't run away, otherwise we would have to spend a lot of effort to find him. Now we just wait to cook. The first meal in this new house must be a lively one."

Xiaoyu looked at the fish tank and said: "Oh, where should we keep the koi? Let's go to the back mountain and dig a pond."

Li Hao's eyes lit up and he said, "That's a good idea. Let's go to the back mountain and dig a pond to raise koi."

Cheng Chumo nodded: "Okay, let's take our tools and go to the back mountain to dig something good so that the koi can live comfortably."

Qin Huai said: "Yes"

Yuyu clapped her hands and cheered, "I'm so excited! There's a pond dedicated to raising koi. We can go see it every day in the future."

Xiaoyu followed and shouted, "Well, let's go quickly and dig the pond and put the koi in it."

A group of people went up the mountain.

Yuyu carried the fish tank containing the koi all the way up the mountain: "The way up the mountain is okay, it's just a small hill."

Xiaoyu brought everyone to the selected place in the back mountain and prepared to dig a pond.

She first picked up a branch and drew the general shape of the pond on the ground. Then she handed the hoe to Li Hao and said, "Dig it like this. Don't dig too far."

Li Hao took the hoe and dug hard into the ground. With every digging, he turned up a large piece of soil.

Seeing this, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao hurriedly picked up tools to help.

They shoveled the excavated soil aside, and soon a shallow pit appeared on the ground.

Xiaoyu directed from the side: "Make it deeper here, and wider there."

She was not idle either, using a small shovel to clear out the small stones and grass roots at the bottom of the pit.

Yu Yu helped pass water to quench everyone's thirst, and she just looked at the koi.
