Standing outside the door of the Cloth Tavern, the four of them were sweating profusely.
Li Shiming, Cheng Yaojin, and Fang Xuanling were fine.
However, Li Lizhi had suffered a lot this time. She had always been pampered by everyone, but she had never experienced such a difficult journey. She was panting, and a thin layer of sweat was visible on her forehead.
However, Li Lizhi didn't feel bitter at all. Instead, she was excited and happy.
It was because he was able to see Zhao Yi again, who was simple, had a warm smile, and was very attentive. He also saw Zhao Yi's cute daughter.
If Zhao Yi knew that the eldest princess of the Tang Empire, Princess Changle, had recognized so many of his merits just because they had met once, he would be flattered.
"Old Hei, knock!"
Standing outside the gate, Li Shiming looked back at the road he had come from. A rare smile appeared on his face as he spoke to Cheng Yaojin.
Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin, who weren't familiar with the Buyi Tavern, followed Tian Zi out in confusion.
When they saw the bright smile on Tian Zi's face, they were even more puzzled.
"What are you waiting for? Knock on the door."
After urging Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling carefully patted the frost off Tian Zi's windbreaker.
Cheng Yaojin snorted and shook his head. He walked to the front of the door, raised his fist that was as big as a sandbag, and knocked on the door.
"Shopkeeper, open the door!"
Seeing Cheng Yaojin's rude behavior, Li Shimin glared at him coldly.
Cheng Yaojin chuckled. His thick voice lowered several degrees and became much gentler, but the strength in his hands did not decrease at all.
"We're open for business!"
Not long after, the door of the inn opened, and a young and inexperienced face peeked out. It was Ah Da, the manservant that Zhao Yi had invited.
Ada didn't expect to have a guest today. He asked curiously,""What are you doing?"
"What do you mean by this and that! We are here to eat and drink! Ask your shopkeeper to come out and receive guests!"
Cheng Yaojin pushed the door open without a word and let his master into the hall.
"You guys…"
Ada was dumbfounded.
On the second floor of the tavern, Zhao Yi, who had long heard the knocking on the door, carried his daughter out of the house and stood in the corridor to watch.
When he saw Old Li, Zhao Yi understood.
"So it's Old Brother Li!" Zhao Yi greeted.
Li Shiming looked up at Zhao Yi and felt a warmth in his heart. He smiled,"Brother Zhao, I'm sorry to disturb you again!”
"What are you talking about? Please sit down.”
Zhao Yi gestured for Ah Da and Ah Er to serve tea to the guests as he carried his daughter down from the second floor.
There was no other way. Now that her daughter was more than one year old, she had begun to learn how to speak and walk. She was very active and refused to stay in that warm wooden carriage anymore.
He couldn't let go at all.
"Old Brother Li, who are these two?"
After greeting the girl called Little Five with a smile, Zhao Yi carried his daughter and looked at the two people behind Old Li with some confusion.
It was a burly, bearded, and dark-skinned man.
It was a middle-aged man who looked a few years older than Old Li and dressed like a teacher.
"This is a guard of a certain family. You can call him Old Black.”
"This is the accountant of a certain family. You can call him Mr. Fang.”
Old Li introduced Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling.
Zhao Yi silently remembered the names of these two people and instructed Ah Da and Ah Er to get the mute servant to prepare the dishes and wine.
In this era, there was no habit of getting to the bottom of people's names. It was enough to just have a nickname.
Zhao Yi was a little surprised by the arrival of Old Li's group.
Because the weather had deteriorated again in the past few days, the streets and alleys of Chang 'an City became empty again.
All the commoners stayed in their homes. The rich were roasting the charcoal fire that was not much in stock, while the poor were wrapped in coats and did not go out.
Since yesterday, there had been no customers in the tavern.
However, he did not expect Old Li to visit his shop again under such harsh environmental conditions.
Zhao Yi naturally wouldn't be stingy with such a repeat customer. He was prepared to let the mute servant cook a few new dishes that Old Li had never sung before.
Now, other than making some children's food for his daughter, Zhao Yi basically didn't know how to cook by himself because his daughter was too clingy to him now. He couldn't let go at all.
However, he had already taught the mute servant dozens of dishes, which was enough to support the reputation of the Cloth Tavern.
"Brother Zhao, come sit with us. Last time, we went back in a hurry and didn't have the time to take a good look at your daughter.”
Seeing Zhao Yi standing with his daughter in his arms, Li Shimin immediately asked Cheng Yaojin to move a stool beside him.
Zhao Yi did not decline and sat down with his daughter.
Suddenly, Li Shiming, Li Lizhi, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, and the other two were attracted by the cute little guy in Zhao Yi's arms. They were all looking at the little guy's pink face.
Li Shiming couldn't explain why, but he felt an indescribable closeness and fondness for the little guy in Zhao Yi's arms.
"Brother Zhao, can I hug your daughter?”
Li Shi Min smiled and asked nervously.
"Yaya, her name is Yaya."
As Zhao Yi introduced his daughter's name, he wanted to pass his daughter to Old Li to satisfy his love for children.
Old Li nodded and smiled as he opened his arms to the little guy."Yaya, let uncle hug you, okay?”
When the little guy in Zhao Yi's arms heard this, he looked at Old Li with his dark eyes for a moment. He pulled out something from his mouth that was either a toy or something to eat, and then plunged his head into his father's arms.
Obviously, Old Li did not gain the little fellow's favor!
