Chapter 18: Another One That Can't Be Provoked

When he returned to the back house, Du Shaoqing called his second brother Du Shaoming to the Shengcai Restaurant to buy some wine, vegetables and food to deliver to the two of them. Du Shaoming said worriedly: "Brother, why don't we prepare it yourself and find Huang Shengcai. If he makes the wine and food bad, wouldn't the guests cause trouble to us?"

"Haha, he dare not buy his food and drink to entertain our guests. If something goes wrong, wouldn't he also smash the signboard of his restaurant? Huang Shengcai is not that stupid."

"If you ask me, we should start the business of inns and restaurants again." Du Shaoming muttered and walked out.

Du Shaoqing shook his head and smiled, thinking that it was almost time to open the inn again, and it was a while for some time to operate steamed buns. The Du family's income gradually stabilized. Two days ago, he had already found a blacksmith shop in the county, and specially customized a set of kitchen utensils, made of pure iron.

In this era, salt and iron were scarce and were strictly controlled by the imperial court. Even if the people used kitchen knives and scissors, most of them were wrapped with iron at the edges. Things made of pure iron were very expensive. There was no iron pot in this era. Everyone used pots or bronze kettles or tripods to cook.

They arranged food and drinks for the two guests in Room No. 1, but they did not make things difficult for them. This also dispelled Du Shaoqing's doubts. They originally thought that the two of them were the opponents who came to deal with the inn, but now it seems that they are too careless and just two difficult residents to serve.

On the other hand, when Zhang Chuchen, a Hongfu girl from Chang'an, arrived in Luoxia Town, it was already afternoon. She was wearing a bright red warrior outfit and was still a beautiful middle-aged woman. She was very eye-catching in Luoxia Town, but Hongfu girl didn't care at all and came straight to Yunlai Inn in the town.

A horse tied up on the stake at the door. Just as I was about to go forward to call someone, I suddenly saw a small mark on the outer wall of the inn from the corner of my eye. Zhang Chuchen raised his eyebrows. As a senior boss of Green Forest, he naturally knew what this meant. Could it be that the inn was targeted by bandits? Someone had stepped on the plate?

"Is anyone? Can the shopkeeper be there?"

When Du Shaoqing heard someone greeting outside, he quickly greeted him. After seeing Hong Fu Nu's outfit, he was stunned. What day is today? Are there so many customers? And they are all strange. The eldest sister looked like she was middle-aged, but she was still dressed in red. She was dressed in Green Forest. It was really strange.

"Do you want to be a top official or stay in a hotel?"

Hongfu Nu examined Du Shaoqing and thought to herself that it was this kid, she was skinny and had a bad complexion, and she showed a sense of shabbyness all over her body. Is he worthy of the princess?

"You're the shopkeeper?"

"Yes, Du Shaoqing is here, it's the shopkeeper of Yunlai Inn."

Zhang Chuchen felt disappointed for no reason, and said in a slightly cold tone: "Live in a hotel, the best room to go to."

Du Shaoqing felt something was wrong. He didn't seem to have messed with the other party. Why did he feel indifferent when he heard this tone, and even a little contempt? He shook his head and thought to himself that it might be a noble disease with different levels in this world, and he didn't care.

"It's really a coincidence that someone has already checked in the number one room in the shop today. I can only arrange a room for you to order a little later. Please forgive me."

The two of them came to the accommodation area behind, and a small figure rushed towards Du Shaoqing, "Dad, Dad, the second uncle is bad. He doesn't want to be a beautiful goat and ask me to catch him. Please help me catch him, okay?"

Du Shaoqing picked up his daughter and said in a pampering manner: "Okay, Daddy is done later. Let's catch him together. I'll catch him and let him be the scoundrel of the Sheep Village."

The little girl nodded in satisfaction. Zhang Chuchen next to her saw all this. When she saw this little girl, she was still a little excited. She was the princess' child. She looked at her eyebrows and eyes, which looked like her when she was a child. It seemed that she would be a beauty in the future.

Listening to the conversation between father and daughter, Du Shaoqing was quite satisfied with Zhang Chuchen. No matter what, he cared for his daughter, but they said what a group of sheep does? There is also a sheep village? Are they not poor and can they raise a few sheep at home?

"Dad, this big sister in red is so beautiful! Dad, can she be the popular wolf?" The little girl lay in Du Shaoqing's ear and whispered. Although the voice was low, both of them heard it.

Zhang Chuchen was stunned, thinking that this child is really good at speaking, but his generation is wrong. I am your grandmother. Even if I am happy, I cannot agree.

Du Shaoqing asked with a smile: "Are you beautiful people or beautiful clothes?"

The little girl boldly observed it, and then replied with a little thought: "Everyone is beautiful, but her clothes are definitely not as beautiful as my new clothes."

Zhang Chuchen looked at the coarse linen on the girl's body and was speechless. Du Shaoqing nodded and responded: "That's for sure. I will get my baby's new clothes tomorrow. Then you will be the most beautiful little princess in this world."

Seeing the two of them having fun, Zhang Chuchen was very pleased, thinking that he seemed to have been in vain. Although the father and daughter were poor, they were not unable to live.

"You are a small businessman, but you didn't expect that you are very brave. You dare to say that your daughter is a princess. Do you think you are a royal relative? You will be beheaded if you talk nonsense." Zhang Chuchen pointed out.

"Haha, Datang Lu didn't seem to say that he wouldn't let me coax my daughter. No matter what my identity is, my daughter is the most beautiful little princess in the world for me, even if this princess belongs to me alone."

This statement is a bit cliché in later generations, but it is unique in the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Chuchen looked at Du Shaoqing with a high glance. Perhaps, he was not useless.

"Oh, I've neglected my distinguished guest. Please come with me, this is your room."

When he heard that the inn did not provide food, Hongfu Nu said again, "What restaurant can you see in this rural area? Don't have those."

Du Shaoqing is in a dilemma, how can you do this? You want to have a meal but you don’t have a restaurant? What the hell? Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?

"Dad, my elder sister can have dinner with us. The food cooked by Dad is delicious." Xiao Xuanxuan said cleverly.

"Oh? I can't tell, you can still cook? Since that's the case, I'll just make it. I'll cook for you personally. This is money. I have to cook carefully, and I have a good appetite."

As he spoke, Zhang Chuchen took out a ingot of ten taels of silver and put it in Du Shaoqing's hand. His tone was full of order, so that Du Shaoqing had no time to speak and refute.

When Du Shaoqing went to the kitchen to cook, Zhang Chuchen had already visited the small Du family and was already familiar with the little girl Xuanxuan. From time to time, bursts of laughter from old to young people came from the guest room.

"Xuanxuan, if you want me to be a popular wolf, if you are Xiao Huihui, then you can't call me sister anymore, you want to call me mother." Zhang Chuchen teased Xiao Xuanxuan.

But Xuanxuan shook her head quickly, "No, Xuanxuan has a mother, and her sister is her sister."

Obviously, the little girl had already told Hongfu Nu the story of Big Big Wolf, and the two of them had a good time together.

Du Shaoqing held the plate, and the two dishes, a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns were just ready to bring them to this person.
