Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

After the rewards were given, the emperor sat in the private room of Zuixian Tower and felt a little thirsty.

He casually picked up a cup of tea from the table and took a sip: "Slurp~"

I didn't expect that this tea would be so refreshing and sweet.

The emperor's eyes flashed with curiosity. He looked at Yuyu's family and asked, "This tea is very unique and tastes sweet. Where does it come from?"

Yuyu stepped forward, bowed slightly, and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, this tea was developed by me. It not only tastes unique, but it can also make people feel refreshed."

The emperor was intrigued and took another sip, savoring the flavor. He nodded in praise and said, "Hmm, it's truly extraordinary. How did you develop this tea?"

Yuyu said happily, "Your Majesty, I love to study tea art. I have tried many kinds of tea and recipes, and after many blends, I finally got this unique tea."

The emperor smiled and said, "You are quite clever and skillful, woman. Does this tea have a name?"

Yuyu thought for a moment and replied, "I haven't given it a formal name yet. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, could you please give it a name?"

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "This tea is sweet and refreshing, and can also invigorate the spirit. Let's call it 'Refreshing Tea'."

Yuyu's family quickly knelt down to express their gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name."

The emperor said excitedly, "After I return to the palace, I also want to taste this 'refreshing tea' often. Can you let me take some back with me?"

Yuyu said happily, "I am honored to serve Your Majesty."

Xiaoyu pulled Yuyu aside and said, "This tea is made with spiritual spring water. How can I give it to him?"

Yuyu muttered: "I'll go back and ask the system first."

She cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, I will go back and fetch some tea so Your Majesty can enjoy more."

The emperor smiled and nodded: "Go." Then he waved his hand to indicate that she could go.

Yuyu hurriedly retreated, turned and left the private room, went to the kitchen, and asked the system in a low voice: "System, is there a way to dissolve spiritual spring water into tea?"

[Yes, yes, host, please wait a moment]

The emperor looked at Xiaoyu and said, "Your daughter is quite clever. She was able to develop such a unique tea."

Xiaoyu quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. I just enjoy tinkering with these things. It is a blessing for me to be appreciated by Your Majesty."

The Emperor: "Well, I think she is very intelligent and will have great potential in the future."

[Qingshen Tea Improved with Spiritual Spring Water]

Yu Yu carried the Qingshen tea and trotted back to the private room of Zuixianlou from the kitchen, holding the tea can carefully in her hand.

Yuyu handed over the tea leaves: "Your Majesty, the tea is here."

The emperor turned around and said, "Oh? You're quite quick."

Xiaoyu hurriedly asked people to prepare tea sets and started to make tea for the emperor.

After a while, the fragrance of tea filled the entire private room.

The emperor sniffed the tea gently, a satisfied look on his face: "This fragrance makes me feel relaxed and happy."

Yuyu brought the brewed tea to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please enjoy it."

The emperor picked up the teacup again, savored it carefully, and then praised: "Good tea! The taste of this tea seems to be more mellow than before."

Yuyu explained with a smile, "Your Majesty, this is a new batch of tea that I made. I made some adjustments to the heat and time, so the taste will be a little different."

The emperor asked with great interest, "You are quite knowledgeable about the art of tea making. Do you have any other unique insights?"

Yuyu thought for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, I believe that tea making requires not only attention to the raw materials and craftsmanship, but also the blending according to different seasons and people's physical conditions in order to achieve the best results."

Xiaoyu nodded. "For example, this 'Qingshen Tea' can clear away heat and relieve summer heat, leaving you feeling refreshed. In winter, it can warm you up and dispel the cold, while also refreshing your mind."

After hearing this, the emperor nodded repeatedly: "Your idea is very novel. It seems that you have put a lot of effort into this."

Yuyu said modestly, "Your Majesty, I am too kind. I simply have a passion for tea art, so I am willing to keep trying and exploring."

The emperor smiled and said to Xiaoyu, "Your Yuyu family is truly blessed to have such a daughter."

Yu Yu and his family knelt down again to express their gratitude for the emperor's praise and favor.

"Okay, okay, you guys can leave now. I need to take a rest." The emperor frowned slightly and waved his hand tiredly.

Yuyu's family and the eunuchs and maids who attended them knelt down and saluted, saying in unison: "We take our leave. Long live the emperor."

Then everyone slowly stood up and tiptoed out of the room.

The room suddenly became quiet. The emperor leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and gently rubbed his temples: "Yuyu's family is really a blessing to my Tang Dynasty."

At this time, a young eunuch quietly walked in and asked softly, "Your Majesty, are you going to rest here?"

The emperor opened his eyes, looked at the young eunuch, and said calmly, "It's all right."

The young eunuch hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about I have someone prepare something and send Your Majesty back to the palace to rest?"

The emperor waved his hand and said, "No need. I will rest here for a while. You all should leave and don't let anyone disturb me."

The young eunuch quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."

After saying this, the young eunuch left the room again and closed the door gently.

The emperor closed his eyes again, his thoughts drifting away, feeling a little tired. "If there were more capable people like Yuyu's family to offer advice to the Tang Dynasty, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and walked to the window: "I hope that from now on, the Tang Dynasty will get better and better."

He took a deep breath, feeling the breath of nature, and the fatigue in his heart gradually dissipated.

"Someone come here." The emperor called softly.

The young eunuch immediately ran in, knelt down and asked, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

The emperor raised his eyes and said slowly, "What time is it now?"

The eunuch quickly replied, "Your Majesty, it is almost evening."

The emperor nodded slightly and continued, "It's time to prepare dinner. I will have dinner here in Zuixianlou."

The eunuch bowed again and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will arrange it right away."

The eunuch came to the first floor and found Xiaoyu. He said seriously, "Your Majesty wants to eat here. Please make sure it is cooked well and there cannot be any mistakes."

Xiaoyu was extremely apprehensive and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, sir. I will do my best."

Zuixianlou Kitchen,

Yuyu's family gathered together, and Yuyu said, "What kind of meal should we prepare for the emperor? Why should he stay here to eat? He can go back to the palace so close."

Xiaoyu said happily, "Stir-fried potatoes with meat and braised pork, these two dishes will definitely satisfy the emperor."

Yuyu nodded: "Yes, yes, mother, the space has been upgraded recently, and a dish has been unlocked, stir-fried pork with peppers."
