Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 1 The Tavern in Chang'an City

In the middle of June in the ninth year of Wude, Chang'an City West City.

The blood of Xuanwu Gate is still wet, and the whole city of Chang'an is in a haze. From the high officials to the common people, all of them closed their doors, for fear of causing disaster and being charged with the crime of disorderly party.

Even the bustling and bustling West Market in the past is now like a street curfew. There are almost no people on the street, let alone doing business. I am afraid that no one would dare to open a shop in this outlet.

In a narrow alley in the southeast corner of West City, a young man and a middle-aged man walked slowly on the street, as if they were observing the environment, and seemed to be talking about something.

The young man was tall and tall, his face was like a crown of jade, exuding a sense of nobility all over his body, but his brows were furrowed, as if he was puzzled by a problem.

The middle-aged man is slightly fat, and he has been by his side all the time, chatting a few words from time to time.

"Auxiliary machine, it has been seven days. Now the people of Chang'an City are walking on thin ice. It's not a lonely wish. Let them stop." The young man said in a deep voice.

The chubby middle-aged man looked a little excited and said: "Your Highness is generous, but if there are remnants of the other party's diehard loyalty..."

"As a matter of fact, although they are loyal to the establishment, they are also talents of our Tang Dynasty. Now that there is a lot of waste to be done, it is also a time of employing people. If they sincerely surrender, they may not be able to turn bad things into good things. Go back and you and Fang Qing, Du You discuss it and come up with a plan. There are still some lonely kings." The young man said with a little pride.

These two are none other than Li Er, who has just become the crown prince, and his confidant eldest grandson Wuji.

Because of Xuanwumen's notoriety, Li Er couldn't let go of it, so he took his eldest grandson Wuji out for a walk on the spur of the moment, chatting along the way, and came to Xishi.

At this moment, a curtained tavern caught the attention of the two, and they looked into the tavern at the same time.

Without him, along the way, there are no people in the West Market, no storefronts open, and there is a tavern open in this remote alley?

The interior is not like the furnishings of an ordinary tavern, but three square tables, which are much higher than the normal Tang Dynasty dining table, and each table is equipped with four long bearded stools.

It was very strange, there was no shopkeeper or bartender inside, only a little girl who looked like a jade carving was eating sweetly with a spoon.

"Look at the layout, this is a barbarian tavern, we've been hungry for a long time after we've been out, let's go and have a look." Li Er took the initiative to say.

"Your Highness, be careful..."

Li Er waved his hand: "It's okay, today is a temporary idea. Everyone in Chang'an City can't want to harm me."

Helpless, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to follow up.

Hey...it smells so good!

As soon as they entered the door, Li Er and Changsun Wuji were attracted by a scent, and the source was the food in front of the little girl.

Changsun Wuji was a dutiful courtier, he took the initiative to step forward and asked, "It smells so good, what is it delicious? Good boy, can you tell Uncle?"

ah! ...

The little girl seemed to be frightened, she exclaimed, and subconsciously used her arms to protect her rice plate.She raised her head timidly, only to realize that there were two customers in the store.

"Auxiliary machine, don't scare the child." Li Er said with concern.

The little guy rolled his eyes, and asked with a cute face: "Uncle, is my rainbow fried rice just delicious? But I think it looks good, and I want to eat it when I see it. Look, there are red ones and green ones." Yes, what is it like?"

"Oh? It's really pretty. What does it look like?" Changsun Wuji deliberately teased the child with cooperation.

Li Er held back his smile beside him, the little girl had a babyish voice, so funny.

The little girl curled her lips in distaste and said, "Uncle is so stupid, people say it's called rainbow fried rice, of course it looks like a rainbow..."

I……

Changsun Wuji blushed, it turned out that he was the one being teased, so he was kind.

"Do you two uncles want to eat?" The little girl asked expectantly instead of being cute, like a little salesman.

Of course Li Er wanted to eat it, they smelled the aroma, why didn't they want to eat it?Seeing the hopeful look on the child's face, I couldn't bear to refuse, and subconsciously nodded in cooperation.

The little girl pointed to the stool in front of her, meaning that you can sit at the same table as me.

The two sat on both sides of the Eight Immortals table, looking forward to the little girl's next performance.

The little guy is young, and his feet can't reach the ground when he sits on a stool.

I saw her jumping off the stool with a little effort, and then carefully hugged her own rice plate with both hands.

Just when Li Er and the two thought that the child was so generous and wanted to share it with us, the little girl left her seat and said with a sly smile: "You two uncles can sit here and think about it slowly. order food."

After speaking, walking on short legs, he trotted like an elf and disappeared at the door of the tavern, leaving Li Er and Changsun Wuji in a mess.

After a while, the two looked at each other and laughed, it was the first time they saw such a weird little girl.

Li Er took the initiative to say: "Listen to this child, she looks like the daughter of the store owner, but it doesn't look like a barbarian's tavern. Auxiliary machine, go to the back and have a look, and report two bowls of rainbow fried rice."

Changsun Wuji was ordered to chase after him, and he was also very curious about what a store that gave birth to such a cute child would look like.

In the back kitchen, a handsome young man was busy preparing ingredients. His daughter next to him was eating fried rice with a plate in his arms, while telling interesting things vividly. It was the little girl just now.

"It's really naughty. That's a guest who came to eat at home. How can you tease him? Remember?" The young man educated his daughter.

The little guy responded obediently: "Remember Daddy, Doudou is obedient."

That's what he said on his lips, but the little eyes that rolled around have already exposed everything.

Changsun Wuji stepped forward in surprise. Didn't expect the store owner to be so young?I'm afraid he's only in his early twenties?

In the early days of marriage in the Tang Dynasty, the government encouraged childbearing, and it was common for ordinary men to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

"It's him, this stupid fat uncle, look, daddy..." The little girl pointed at the person and shouted excitedly.

Changsun Wuji wanted to vomit blood, what is a stupid fat uncle?Why put fat behind?
The young man put down the work in his hand and said kindly: "The little girl is naughty, the guests forgive me, Li Yuanying is the shopkeeper and chef of this restaurant. What do you want to eat, please wait a moment and I will start cooking. At present, the local restaurant mainly serves Yangzhou fried rice……"

"Daddy, it's Rainbow Fried Rice. You promised me to change the name." She was interrupted by her daughter before she finished speaking.

Li Yuanying rubbed her daughter's hair and changed her words: "Okay, okay, rainbow fried rice. I heard from the little girl that there are two guests, why don't you come and try two?"

Seeing the young man doting on his daughter so much, Changsun Wuji nodded with approval in his eyes and said, "Then I'll have two servings of rainbow fried rice, I'll be the shopkeeper."

If it was normal, a character like him would not be so friendly with a poor cook.But today's strange thing, maybe the other party's aura doesn't look like a cook at all, so it's inevitable that he has a good impression.

Watching the guests return to the front hall, Yuanying let out a sigh of relief, thinking that it's okay, if you order other food, it's going to be a nuisance, and now it's Yangzhou fried rice.
