Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll accept it."

When Yuyu heard this, her eyes lit up immediately. She pulled the corner of Li Shimin's clothes and shook it: "Your Majesty, there are many cats and dogs in the backyard. Don't you want to go and see them? There are Huskies, Pomeranians, terriers, calico cats, and Bichon Frise."

Li Shimin became interested: "Oh? There are so many lovely things. I want to take a look." As he said that, he walked towards the backyard under the guidance of Yu Yu.

As soon as I arrived at the backyard, I saw a Husky running around in the yard with a rag shoe in its mouth. When it saw someone coming, it tilted its head with curiosity in its eyes.

The Pomeranian ran over happily, circling around everyone, its furry tail wagging like a rattle.

The two local dogs were originally lying in the corner, but when they saw Li Shimin, they stood up vigilantly.

But after being comforted by Yu Yu, he relaxed again and even wagged his tail in a friendly manner.

The calico cat was lying on the stone table in the yard, licking its paws gracefully. It just glanced lazily at the visitor and continued to bask in the sun.

The Bichon Frise jumped towards Yu Yu, rubbed against her feet, and made a "woooo" sound with its mouth, which was very cute.

Li Shimin looked at these lively and cute cats and dogs and smiled gently: "These cats and dogs are really interesting."

Laugh, laugh, you won’t be able to laugh soon.

Suddenly, the cats and dogs farted collectively.

The smell was like a surging wave that instantly filled the entire backyard. It was an indescribable smell.

Li Shimin's face, which had just been smiling gently, froze in an instant. A hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and then his brows furrowed, and he subconsciously covered his nose with his hands.

Yuyu's face was also wrinkled by the sudden stench. She used her tender little hands to fan her nose desperately, trying to dispel the stench: "It stinks!"

The Husky seemed a little overwhelmed by its own behavior. It tucked its tail between its legs and ran dejectedly to a corner of the yard, looking at everyone pitifully, as if saying, "I don't want this either."

The Pomeranian kept spinning in circles, as if trying to escape from the stench surrounding it.

The two local dogs were quite honest and just stuck out their tongues, but their expressions also showed that they disliked the taste.

The calico cat lost all its graceful posture. It jumped down from the stone table, hunched its body, and with a meow, it quickly ran behind an old water tank, leaving only half of its furry tail exposed, which kept shaking, as if expressing its dissatisfaction.

The Bichon barked twice into the air, as if protesting the bad smell that ruined the good atmosphere.

Xiaoyu and others heard the noise and rushed over, but as soon as they reached the backyard door, they were forced to stop by the stench.

Xiaoyu covered her nose with a handkerchief and shouted anxiously, "Yuyu, come out quickly! This smell is too poisonous."

Li Shimin suppressed his discomfort and said to Yuyu with a wry smile, "Little girl, this... this really opens my eyes."

Yuyu looked aggrieved, "Your Majesty, this... I didn't know they would fart collectively."

Just when everyone was tormented by the stench and didn't know what to do, a breeze blew by, spreading the stench more evenly, leaving no one with anywhere to escape.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao looked at each other. They had seen many big scenes, but they were helpless about such an embarrassing and funny situation.

Cheng Chumo held his breath and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you leave here first?"

Li Shimin nodded and was about to leave, but he accidentally stepped on the tattered cloth shoes that the Husky had been holding in his mouth and almost slipped. Fortunately, Qin Huaidao was quick to support him.

After finally escaping from the backyard, everyone breathed in deep gulps of fresh air.

Li Shimin shook his head and smiled, saying, "Today's experience is truly unforgettable. These little guys in the backyard really caught me off guard."

Yuyu scratched her head embarrassedly and said, "Your Majesty, if Yuyu had cleaned up the backyard, this situation wouldn't have happened."

Everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

At this time, Xiaoyu took out a small porcelain bottle of perfume and said, "Your Majesty, this is a perfume I developed a while ago. I originally wanted to use it for the ladies, but I didn't expect it to come in handy here today."

As she spoke, Xiaoyu opened the cap of the small porcelain bottle, and a faint and elegant fragrance slowly wafted out.

Li Shimin had originally frowned at the stench, but when he smelled the fragrance, his expression relaxed a lot: "Oh? This thing is amazing, it has such a refreshing fragrance."

Xiaoyu walked forward, bowed slightly, and handed the small porcelain bottle to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, you can try it. Sprinkle some of this perfume on your clothes, and the bad smell will dissipate a little."

Yuyu's eyes lit up at the side: "Your Majesty, please try it. This perfume is so fragrant. My family and I made it together. We used a lot of flower petals and some special spices."

Li Shimin took the small porcelain bottle with a smile and gently sprinkled a few drops on his dragon robe.

The perfume seemed to have magical powers. Wherever it went, the stench was gradually suppressed, replaced by the elegant and charming fragrance.

Li Shimin exclaimed, "This perfume is truly a wonderful thing. It not only enhances the fragrance, but also relieves this awkward feeling. Xiaoyu, can you tell me how this perfume is made?"

Xiaoyu replied, "Your Majesty, I first collected dewy petals from peonies, jasmine, roses, etc. in the early morning. I washed them, dried them, and then used a special method to extract their essence."

"Add some spices obtained from merchants in the Western Regions, mix them in a certain proportion, and after many days of brewing, this perfume is finally made."

Li Shimin nodded in praise. "You are truly clever, thinking of using these flowers and spices to create something so useful. If this were in the palace, I'm sure the concubines would love it too."

Cheng Chumo said from the side: "Your Majesty, there are indeed many talented people among the people. This small Zuixianlou not only has delicious food, but also such novel things."

Qin Huaidao also echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, if this perfume is promoted, it may become a fashion in our dynasty."

Yuyu took Li Shimin's hand and said, "Your Majesty, I have many ideas. We can make perfumes with different scents, such as fruity ones for the young ladies, and calm woody ones for the adults."

Li Shimin smiled and patted Yuyu's head: "Little girl, you have so many ideas in your head. I think you can do it. You will definitely achieve great things when you grow up."

Li Hao said, "Your Majesty, this perfume actually has other uses. For example, if you sprinkle some in your room, it will keep it fresh and pleasant. If you sprinkle some on clothes when storing them, it can also repel insects."
