In the middle of June of the ninth year of Wude, the west city of Chang'an.

The blood of Xuanwu Gate has not yet dried, and the entire Chang'an City is in a haze, from the dignitaries to the common people, all of whom are closed for fear of attracting disasters and being accused of disrupting the party.

Even the once prosperous and lively West Market is now like a curfew on the street, and there are basically no people on the street, let alone doing business, I am afraid that no one dares to open a store in this outlet.

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

The young man was tall and had a face like a crown of jade, and his body exuded a sense of nobility, but his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he seemed to have a problem to solve.

The middle-aged man is slightly chubby, and he has been by his side, accosting him from time to time.

"Auxiliary, it's been seven days, and now the people of Chang'an City are all walking on thin ice, it's really not a lonely wish, let them stop." The young man groaned.

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

"According to the truth, although they are die-hard loyalists, they are also talents of my Datang. Now that all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, it is also the time to employ people, if you are sincere and obedient, you can't turn bad things into good things. Go back and discuss it with Fang Qing and Du Qing and come up with a plan. This point of open-mindedness is still there. The young man said with a little pride.

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

Because of the notoriety of Xuanwumen, Li Er couldn't let go of his heart, so he made a temporary decision and took his eldest grandson Wuji out for a walk, chatting all the way, and actually came to Xishi.

At that moment, a tavern with a curtain caught the attention of the two of them, and they looked inside the tavern at the same time.

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

Inside, it does not look like the furnishings of an ordinary tavern, but three square tables, much higher than the normal Tang dinner table, each table is equipped with four long stools.

It's very weird, there is no shopkeeper and bartender inside, only a little girl who is eating sweetly with a spoon.

"Look at the furnishings, this is a Huren tavern, we are hungry after coming out for a long time, let's go, go and have a look." Li Er took the initiative to speak.

"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, the eldest grandson Wuji had no choice but to step forward and follow.

Hey...... It smells so good!

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

The eldest grandson Wuji was a dutiful courtier, and took the initiative to ask, "It's so fragrant, what is this delicious?" Good boy, will you tell your uncle? ”

Yikes! ……

As if frightened, the little girl exclaimed, and subconsciously used her arm to protect her rice plate. Timidly looked up, only to find that there were two customers in the store.

"Auxiliary, don't scare the kids." 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's beautiful, and I want to eat it when I see it. You see it's red and green, what does it look like? ”

"Oh? It's really pretty, what does that look like? The eldest grandson Wuji deliberately cooperated to tease the child.

Li Er couldn't hold back a smile next to him, this little girl has a milky voice, it's too funny.

The little girl pursed her lips with disgust and said, "Uncle is so stupid, everyone says it's called rainbow fried rice, of course it's like a rainbow......"

I......

The eldest grandson Wuji's old face turned red, it turned out that he was the one who was teased, and he was kind enough.

"Do you want to eat it?" The little girl replaced the cuteness and asked with an expectant face, like a little salesman.

Of course Li Er and the others want to eat, they smell the fragrance, why don't they want to eat? Seeing the child's hopeful look, he 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 down 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 to eat.

I saw that she jumped off the stool with some difficulty, and then carefully hugged her own food plate with both hands.

Just when Li Er and the others thought that this child was really generous and wanted to share the delicious food with us, the little girl left her seat and said with a sly smile: "The two uncles can sit here and think slowly, I haven't eaten enough, and I will find my father to add some food." ”

After speaking, with his little short legs, he trotted like an elf and disappeared at the door of the tavern, leaving Li Er and Changsun Wuji messy in the wind.

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

Li Er took the initiative to speak: "Listening to this child, it looks like the daughter of the shopkeeper, it seems that it is not the Huren Tavern." Auxiliary, go to the back and take a look, and report two bowls of rainbow fried rice. ”

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

In the back kitchen, a handsome young man was busy preparing the ingredients, and his daughter next to him was eating fried rice with a rice plate in her arms, and she was talking about funny things in a colorful voice, which was the little girl just now.

"It's really naughty, it's a guest who comes to eat at home, how can you tease people? No more accurate, remember? "Young people educate their daughters.

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

That's what he said, but that little eye has already revealed everything.

The eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward in surprise, he didn't expect the store to be so young? I'm afraid you're only in your early twenties?

In the Tang Dynasty, the government encouraged childbearing, and ordinary men married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

"It's him, it's this stupid fat uncle, Daddy, look ......at it," the little girl shouted excitedly, pointing at the visitor.

The eldest grandson Wuji wants to vomit blood, what is a stupid fat uncle? Why put the 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 store." What do you want to eat, please wait for me to start doing it, the main local Yangzhou fried rice ......"

"Daddy, it's rainbow fried rice, you promised me to change your name." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his daughter.

Li Yuanying rubbed her daughter's hair and said, "Okay, good, rainbow fried rice." I heard the little girl say that there are two guests, why don't you come and try two? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji watched the young man spoil his daughter so much, a trace of approval flashed in his eyes, and he nodded and said, "Then there are two rainbow fried rice, and there is a shopkeeper." ”

If it were usual, a character like him would not be so amiable to a cook who was not in the flow. Today's strange thing, maybe the other party's temperament does not look like a cook at all, and it is inevitable that he will have a good impression.

Watching the guests return to the front hall, Yuan Ying let out a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that it was okay, if you order other meals, it will be numb, and it will be this Yangzhou fried rice at present.
