Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Yuyu blinked her big eyes and jumped in front of Li Shimin excitedly: "Your Majesty, Zuixianlou has released a lot of delicious new foods! There are big and round meatballs, beef balls and pork balls."

"Take a bite of the meatballs and the juice will burst in your mouth. There is also salt-baked chicken, the skin is crispy, the meat is tender and very fragrant!" Yu Yu said while gesturing, her little face flushed with excitement.

Xiaoyu hurried forward and bowed slightly. "Your Majesty, Yuyu is right. These new meatballs can be cooked in soup or added to soup noodles. They are very flavorful. Salt-baked chicken is also Chef Mi's specialty. If your majesty likes it, you may try it."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with anticipation: "Oh? It sounds delicious. I must try it today."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao smiled at each other, and Cheng Chumo said, "Your Majesty, this new dish has been well received. I believe it will suit Your Majesty's taste."

Qin Huaidao also nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please come this way. We have prepared a private seat for you."

The crowd surrounded Li Shimin and walked into Zuixian Tower.

At this time, Zuixianlou was extremely lively, with the diners' laughter and the clinking of bowls and chopsticks intertwined.

But when Li Shimin stepped in, it seemed as if time stood still for a moment, and then everyone saluted.

Li Shimin raised his hand slightly, indicating that everyone didn't need to be polite, and then walked straight to the private seat.

Acai wiped the table skillfully and put clean dishes on it.

Ah Fu trotted to the kitchen and told Chef Mi, "Chef Mi, His Majesty has arrived. Please order some new dishes!"

Upon hearing this, Chef Mi's face flushed with excitement: "Okay, I'll prepare it right away. I'll make sure Your Majesty is satisfied with the meal." He busied himself in the kitchen, skillfully picked up the ingredients, and began to cook meatballs and salt-baked chicken.

After a while, the steaming meatball soup and golden salt-baked chicken were served.

The meatballs roll in the soup, plump and round, with a fragrant aroma.

The salt-baked chicken has an attractive luster, as if emitting a golden halo.

Li Shimin looked at the delicious food in front of him with a smile in his eyes.

He first scooped up a meatball and put it into his mouth. He took a light bite and immediately the soup overflowed and the aroma of meat filled his mouth.

He couldn't help but exclaim: "This meatball is really delicious, tender and juicy, wonderful!"

Then, he tore off a piece of salt-baked chicken and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly: "This salt-baked chicken has a crispy skin, tender chicken, and just the right amount of salty and fragrant. It really lived up to my expectations."

When the people around heard Li Shimin's praise, they all smiled with relief.

Yuyu clapped her hands aside and said, "As long as your Majesty likes it, this is all thanks to Chef Mi!"

Li Shimin laughed heartily: "You all have contributed. This Zuixian Tower is truly a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden. It always gives me surprises."

Li Shimin ate the salt-baked chicken with relish. The golden and crispy skin was torn apart in his hands, revealing the tender chicken meat. Every bite made a slight "crunch" sound, and the salty and fragrant taste spread in his mouth, making him extremely satisfied.

Perhaps the aroma of the salt-baked chicken was too tempting, Li Shimin was so engrossed in eating that he scratched his head unconsciously.

This scene happened to be seen by Yuyu who was jumping around nearby. Her eyes widened and she blurted out in surprise: "The emperor has dandruff? Didn't he wash his hair?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Zuixian Tower fell silent in an instant, as if time had stopped.

Xiaoyu's face turned pale. He quickly pulled Yuyu over and scolded her, "Yuyu, don't be rude!"

Yu Yu looked confused, not understanding what she had said wrong. She pouted and was about to cry.

Li Shimin was also stunned. He didn't expect the little girl to say such a thing.

After a moment, he burst into laughter, and the hearty laughter broke the silence: "It's okay, it's okay, I really didn't wash my hair."

Xiaoyu quickly pulled Yuyu down to kneel down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am young and ignorant, and I have offended Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Get up. How could I bother with a child?"

Yuyu opened her eyes wide, looked at Li Shimin with curiosity, and continued to ask: "But, Your Majesty, what do you usually use to wash your hair?"

Li Shimin looked at Yuyu with great interest and replied with a smile, "The shampoo used in my palace is a special mixture of spices and herbs. It has a cleansing effect and a fragrant scent."

Yuyu tilted her head and twirled her hair with her little fingers: "Your Majesty, that's not good. I've made a new shampoo that will ensure Your Majesty has no dandruff."

Li Shimin became interested and put down the object in his hand. "Tell me, what is this new method?"

Yu Yu's eyes rolled around, and when everyone was busy, he sneaked into the storage room.

The utility room was a little dark, but Yu Yu was familiar with the place, and the little figure quickly slipped into the space and took out the shampoo.

She stretched out her little hand, picked up the bottle of freshly made shampoo with great effort, and carefully poured it into the small porcelain bottle.

While falling, she did not forget to prick up her ears to listen to the noise outside, for fear that someone would discover her "little secret".

After finally filling up the small porcelain bottle, Yu Yu put the large bottle of shampoo back to its original place, and then held the small porcelain bottle tightly, as if it were a treasure.

She tiptoed out of the utility room and trotted towards the kitchen.

After entering the kitchen, she looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to her before putting the small porcelain bottle in the basin.

Yuyu patted his chest and muttered softly, "Finally it's hidden. I'll try this on His Majesty later. It will definitely make His Majesty's hair better."

After saying that, she skipped out again, pretending nothing had happened.

Xiaoyu walked up with a smile and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, this is the shampoo I just made." As she said that, she winked at Acai.

Acai was holding an exquisite porcelain basin filled with a light green liquid. The liquid exuded a fresh fragrance, like the scent of flowers or some kind of herbs. The fragrance lingered around everyone's nose, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Acai carefully placed the porcelain basin on the table and stepped aside.

Xiaoyu pointed to the shampoo in the basin and said, "Your Majesty, this shampoo is carefully developed by us. It contains soap beans, Polygonum multiflorum, tea seeds, and various flower petals.

Soap nuts effectively remove dirt, Polygonum multiflorum nourishes the scalp, tea seeds make hair black and shiny, and the flower petals give this shampoo its charming fragrance."

Li Shimin took a closer look. The liquid was clear and transparent, and he could even see the fragments of petals at the bottom of the basin, like a beautiful painting.

He asked with great interest, "Is this really so amazing?"

Xiaoyu nodded. "Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you. I have used it to wash my hair, and the effect is excellent. It not only cleans the hair, but also prevents dandruff. Long-term use will be of great benefit to the hair."

Li Hao nodded: "Yes, yes, that's right."
