Da Tang Xiao Si Zi: I have a little pouch-like boy.

After wandering around the ancient city for only a short while, it gradually got dark.

The group found a restaurant with good online reviews and ordered a table full of local specialties.

Butter tea, chicken bean jelly, cured pork rib hot pot, Naxi grilled fish, rice sausage, pipa meat, Lijiang salmon.

Li Qin, in particular, has a special fondness for cured pork rib hot pot.

The meat easily separates from the bone, the soup is milky white, the aroma is enticing, the meat is tender and delicious, and the broth is rich and flavorful.

As for Li Er, Li Yuan, and Changsun, they were all enamored with salmon.

After all, people in the Tang Dynasty loved to eat sashimi, so when they encountered it, they naturally developed a fondness for it.

As for the little girls, chickpea jelly and pipa meat are their favorites.

In Chengyang, in particular, Li Qin noticed that he especially liked pipa meat, and ate it with such gusto that his mouth was practically dripping with oil.

After dinner, we strolled around the ancient city for a while before returning to the hotel to rest.

What Li Qin didn't know was that Li Yuan did not choose to rest after returning to his room.

Instead, she quietly knocked on Li Er's door and pulled her son aside, saying they were going out for a walk.

"Father, is something the matter?"

Upon arriving outside the room, Li Er was somewhat puzzled, unable to understand what Li Yuan wanted to do.

Then the old man said mysteriously, "Come on, come with me for another stroll."

Li Er: "???"

And so, the father and son left the hotel again and headed towards the ancient city.

I thought it was just a aimless stroll; my father just wanted to look around and have a leisurely walk.

Li Er was also pleased that his relationship with Li Yuan had finally improved considerably, and followed along happily.

As he walked, he realized something was wrong.

Ah, this seems to be... looking for something.

As they walked and looked around, they realized that the road they had been on was the same one they had walked that afternoon.

Then, the two walked to a place where Li Yuan suddenly stopped.

Pointing to the main entrance, he said, "Come on, come inside and sit with me."

Li Er: "..."

Now, Li Er finally understood what Li Yuan was planning.

The place where the two stopped was the bar that Li Qin had casually mentioned during their afternoon stroll.

Compared to the quietness of the daytime, the place is now bustling with activity, and colorful lights illuminate the entire shop.

Compared to other shops in the area, it looks like a respectable place.

Especially the women coming and going, even in this cold weather, they were all wearing only a thin layer of gauze pants.

According to Li Qin, this thing is called stockings, and it can accentuate a woman's long, slender legs.

"Father...this...isn't this a bad idea?"

Li Er hesitated for a moment, feeling as if he were strolling through Pingkangfang with Laozi.

"Hmph! I'm just going in for a drink, what? You don't want to come with me?"

Li Yuan snorted coldly.

I've been drinking just a little bit every night for a while now, and I'm starting to feel like I can't take it anymore.

I finally found a so-called bar and got a chance to take my son out, but the kid actually refused?

“Father, Li Qin said that your health is not good for drinking too much. If you really want to drink, I'll talk to him tomorrow about having an extra glass with dinner, how about that?”

Li Yuan's eyes widened: "An extra cup? That's not even a cup! You saw how small that cup is, three cups of it can't even equal one of my previous cups!"

"I'm definitely going in tonight to check it out and have a drink! Are you coming with me or not? Give me a straight answer!"

Li Er saw that Laozi had already made up his mind, and since he was already here...

Thinking back, Li Yuan had drunk alcohol before, at least 3 liang (150ml) of baijiu (Chinese liquor) was a must.

Go in and have a drink now, it shouldn't be a big problem.

As long as it doesn't happen every day, I think it should be fine.

So he gritted his teeth and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll go in with you, but let's make it clear first, no drinking."

"Alright! I know, hurry up and go in."

Li Yuan waved his hand impatiently, signaling Li Er to take the lead and scout ahead.

Thus, without Li Qin's company, the father and son entered a modern bar for the first time.

Upon entering the store, deafening music immediately fills the air.

Both of them frowned upon hearing this.

This is a bar? Why is it so noisy?

I stood at the door and looked inside for a long time, not knowing what to do next.

Fortunately, a waiter came up to them with a smile and called out, "How many are in your party, sir? Would you like to sit at the bar or in a booth? Our booths have a minimum charge of 1288."

Li Yuan blinked and looked at Li Er.

Li Er raised an eyebrow and said in a deliberately profound tone, "Gentlemen, please choose a booth."

Although I'm not clear on the difference between a bar counter and booths, I overheard Li Qin mentioning it in casual conversation.

Places with minimum spending requirements are generally better.

For example, some restaurants' private rooms also have a minimum spending requirement.

This time, Li Qin provided each of them with a mobile phone and taught them how to use it. He also transferred 50 yuan to each of them.

Of course, "each person" refers to Li Er, Li Yuan, Changsun, and Li Lizhi.

This is also why Li Yuan dared to bring Li Er out – he had money on him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to go out and have fun if he had no money.

The waiter led the two to a booth and showed them the bill.

The rows of drink menus left the two of them momentarily bewildered.

What the hell are Hansen, Prosecco, Oson, and Philo Red Pavilion Knight?

And rose wine, is it wine made from rose petals?

The two recognized the characters, but they had no idea what they were.

Since both of them were emperors, they naturally refused to appear ignorant and pretended to study it for a long time.

Li Er kept his head down, glancing at Li Yuan every now and then, hoping that the old man would make a decision quickly.

After all, he came out with his father, and if something he ordered didn't suit his taste, he'd end up being blamed.

Li Yuan was aware of Li Er's thoughts, and in fact, he would occasionally glance at his son.

I hoped he would give me some advice, but all I got in return was a constant staring contest.

Finally, Li Yuan reluctantly ordered a bottle of Hansen, which was labeled Champagne.

Since this stuff has "fragrant" in its name, it must be pretty good.

"Hansen's bottle costs 268, which is still below the minimum spending requirement for a booth. Would you two like some snacks?"

The waiter asked with a smile.

Li Er and Li Yuan were taken aback. Right, there's a minimum spending requirement for this.

So Li Yuan ordered two more bottles of red wine, a bottle of Prosecco champagne, and a whole bunch of snacks.

I figured it was okay if I couldn't finish them all; I could just try a little of each one.

Now that we've finally reached the minimum spending requirement, the waiter pulled out a QR code to indicate that we should pay first.

Li Er scanned the code to pay.

Soon, the drinks and snacks were all delivered.

Should we open them all now?

The waiter asked a question out of professional habit.

Li Yuan nodded slightly, indicating that everything was open.

Li Er poured some red wine for Li Yuan, intending to begin tasting it one by one.

As soon as he picked up his cup, he heard a woman speaking next to him.

"Don't two grown men feel a little lonely drinking like this?"
