Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 245: After the Royal Hunt, Go Back to BBQ

The outline of Chang'an Avenue at night becomes clearer and clearer in front of my eyes. The lights of the shops on the street have been lit up, and the warm glow is sprinkled on the stone road.

The big sheep walked at the end of the team, their hooves making rhythmic sounds on the ground, "da da da", intertwined with the laughter of the crowd. The little lambs in Yu Yu's hands occasionally poked their heads out and bleated.

The rabbits in Xiaoyu's arms may have felt the lively atmosphere and moved restlessly in the cage.

Li Hao, carrying the wild boar, strode onto Chang'an Avenue and proudly shouted, "This harvest of ours will surely make everyone on the street envious!"

Xiaoyu said, "Okay, let's take a break."

Yu Yu and Li Hao stopped after hearing Xiao Yu's words and each found a suitable place to rest.

Li Hao gently put the wild boar down from his shoulder, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on a stone bench beside him. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "I'm exhausted today. I should take a good rest and not worry about what happens tomorrow."

Xiaoyu carefully placed the cage containing the rabbits on the ground, squatted down, and looked at the little rabbits through the cracks in the cage. Her eyes were still gentle, but she muttered mysteriously, "Tomorrow, there will be something unexpected for you."

Yuyu gently stroked the lamb in her arms, tilted her head and asked Xiaoyu curiously: "Mom, what are you going to do tomorrow? Don't keep me in suspense."

Xiaoyu stood up, brushed the dust off her skirt, blinked, and said with a smile, "If I tell you now, there won't be any surprises. You'll know tomorrow."

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the lights on Chang'an Avenue became brighter and brighter, casting a warm glow on everyone's faces.

Although Yu Yu was curious about what Xiao Yu said about tomorrow, she could only carry this doubt with her as she slowly fell asleep in the tranquility of the night.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the house through the cracks in the window. Yuyu sat up from the bed, sleepily eyed, and yawned as she said, "I'm so sleepy. What are you doing, Mom?"

Xiaoyu smiled and replied, "We're grilling, hurry up and help." Yuyu instantly perked up when she heard that and quickly replied, "Okay, okay."

Yu Yu quickly washed and dressed, then skipped into the yard.

I saw Xiaoyu fiddling with the barbecue grill skillfully, while Li Hao beside him had already cleaned and cut the wild boar meat, rabbit meat and other ingredients hunted yesterday and arranged them neatly.

Li Hao saw Yuyu and joked, "Lazy boy, finally get up! We're having a barbecue today."

Yu Yu stuck out her tongue and ran to Xiao Yu to help pass the seasoning.

Xiaoyu put the sliced ​​meat on bamboo skewers and placed them on the grill. After a while, the skewers gave off an enticing aroma.

Yu Yu watched eagerly from the side, drooling with greed.

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not baked yet."

Li Hao was making a fire on the side, the flames licking the bottom of the pot, reflecting his determined face.

From time to time he fanned the fire to make it burn brighter.

"The fire has to be burned just right, otherwise the roasted meat won't be fragrant." Li Hao said.

The family was busy and happy in the backyard of Zuixianlou, with laughter echoing all around.

As time went by, the aroma of barbecue became stronger and stronger, filling the entire yard.

When Xiaoyu saw Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao coming, she smiled warmly and quickly said, "Come and sit down. We have just prepared everything."
