Luo Fengtang nodded. "My return date is uncertain. I may not be back in time for the tavern's opening. Qing’er, don't worry about me, just take good care of yourself."

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "It doesn't matter if we can't catch up, you have to take care of yourself too!"

Luo Fengtang nodded at Xiaoyu again, as a greeting, then turned to leave.

Xiao Yu took a step forward and suddenly called out to Luo Fengtang.

"Wait for me, Táng Yazi."

>

Luo Fengtang stopped his steps and turned to look at Xiaoyu, wanting to ask her something.

Xiao Yu's cheeks flushed, as if she had gathered her courage.

"Will Brother Ning be going too?" she asked.

Luofengtang was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

Xiaoyu clutched the corner of her clothes with both hands and bit her lip: "Then you help me pass a message to him, ask him to take good care of himself..."

Luo Fengtang nodded: "Is there anything else?"

Xiaoyu shook her head.

Here is the translation of " <<<

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Luo Fengtang glanced at Yang Ruohua again, a soft look in his eyes, then turned and strode away.

Gazing at his receding figure, the two girls stood frozen in place, each lost in their own thoughts, unable to recover for a long time.

Not long after Luo Fengtang left, Lao Wu came again.

"Qing'er, did Luo Xiazi just come by? He's going to the front lines to fight!"

When Bai Lao Wu came over, Yang Ruqing was in the kitchen making breakfast.

Having no interest in making anything fancy, I simply scooped up some cornmeal and wheat flour and mixed them together to make tortillas.

Upon hearing Bai Lao Wu's words, Yang Ru Qing raised her head.

"He had said so before," she remarked.

Bai Lao Wu said, "Qinger, quickly make two cakes for Uncle Bai to take with him. Uncle Bai is also here to bid farewell."

"Huh? Uncle Bai, where are you going?" she asked in surprise.

Bai Lao Wu said: "Go to the front line!"

"It's so boring just hanging around this military camp kitchen! I need a change of scenery and a new perspective!"

Yang Ruqing's head was covered in black lines.

The youngsters were out tracking down clues about the village raiders, while Old Bai and his group...

"Now that you've all left, who's going to cook in the army camp?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Old Bai waved his hand: "Hey, if we're missing a butcher, are we going to eat pigs with their hair on? Don't worry, someone will naturally cook the meal."

Soon, the corn cakes were cooked. Bai Lao Wu had one in his mouth and several others in his hand.

"Don't worry," he mumbled to Yang Ruoqing, "once you get back to the front lines, with Little Luo there, we'll have our cooks keeping an eye on him. You needn't fret."

"You, prepare a good table of dishes and treat us to a welcome feast when you get back!"

After saying that, Bai Lao Wu ran away like the wind.

On the training ground of the military camp, General Xiahou is inspecting troops before a campaign.

At this time, dozens of people rushed over with burning sticks, all for Bai Lao Wu.

"Bai Lao Wu, why are you all here?"

Xiahou Dun asked.

Bai Lao Wu swallowed the last piece of cornbread and shouted, "Let's set out!"

Setting out on a journey?

Many generals, large and small, laughed.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate! ?

A group of veterans who cook and eat, just waiting to die? They're still going on missions?

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated! ?

That's hilarious!

"What's so funny? When your old man was practicing swordsmanship, you were probably down on the ground playing with bird eggs!"

Lao Wu glared at the few who were laughing the loudest and shouted.

Those few people knew Bai Lao Wu's temper and didn't dare to provoke him too much, so they all averted their eyes.

Here, Xiahou Dun addressed Bai Lao Wu, saying: “Stop joking around. This is a campaign; the enemy's intentions are unclear and there's a high possibility of a fierce battle. You guys from the commissary should stay behind…”

"Hit me if you dare! I'm not afraid of you!"

Bai Lao Wu directly interrupted Xia Hou Dun's words.

>

He shook the burning firebrand in his hand, its embers glowing like charcoal: "Who says our kitchen crew can only cook? We can use these firebrands to fight too! What do you think, brothers?"

“Yes!”

Behind, the dozens of people in the kitchen made a neat and uniform sound. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

That voice, which resounded through the heavens, had a terrifyingly magnificent quality to it.

Xiahou Dun was taken aback.

In these fellow brethren of the kitchen, he seemed to see once again those fiery years of passion.

He looked at the group of soldiers in front of him with a complicated expression.

At this time, Lao Wu came over and whispered to Mo Ran in a voice only they could hear: "Don't stop him, it's useless to stop him. Luo Xiaozi, we need to protect him thoroughly!"

When Xiahou Dun heard this, he was even more astonished.

For a wild and unruly figure like Bai Lao Wu to be so protective of her, Luo Fengtang, could she truly be…?

But now was not the time to think about these things.

Finally, General Xiahou ordered the military cooks to accompany the army on its campaign.

At the sound of the order, the army marched full speed toward the south, thirty miles away.

With the concerted efforts of Chang-Geng and Lee Da'er, the renovation of the wine shop was quickly completed.

As for the style of decoration, it goes without saying that it is exactly the same as that of Tianxiang Lou in Qingshui Town.

However, she kept the stage in the middle of the hall.

And some details of the stage's style were modified, incorporating some modern lighting and color elements.

During the renovation period, Yang Ruqing also posted a notice at the entrance of the restaurant, recruiting chefs, servers, accountants, and several other positions.

We've filled the position, so we won't be hiring externally anymore.

Let Li Dahu do it.

A wine shop needs to have reliable staff that it can trust.

After several days of screening, Yang Ruoqing left a group of shortlisted candidates to try out for a period.

I also made it clear to them that the adaptation period is one month. If you pass, your salary will be increased and you'll stay on.

Sorry, you're not qualified. Leave now.

Everyone agreed, and then the ingredients were ready.

>

Firecrackers were set off, and a local dragon and lion dance team was invited to liven up the occasion.

>

"Qing'er, ribbon-cutting!"

A tray arrived from the Chang Geng side, with a pair of scissors on it.

Yang Ruqing smiled and took it, 'crack', the red silk cloth was cut, and the wine shop officially opened.

The first day was the grand opening celebration.

All dishes are half price. We also have gifts for those who bring children.

Seven days before opening, ten special-priced dishes will be offered each day.

These were all written on a large signboard and erected at the most conspicuous place at the entrance of the restaurant.

Looking at the constant stream of customers, many were an adult dragging several children.

Looking at those children, all receiving colorful and uniquely shaped dolls.

>

Xiaoyu couldn't help but pull Yang Ruqing aside.

“So many people are just here to take advantage of us, if this keeps up we're going to go bankrupt!” Xiaoyu said.

Yang Ruqing smiled.

“You can’t catch a wolf without losing a child. It's okay to take a small loss upfront, just get the brand out there first, and then you'll make it all back later!”

She stated it with great conviction.

She has experience in this area.

Hearing her say that, Xiaoyu also felt relieved.

“It’s good to be alright then. I’ll go greet the guests first.” she said.

>

"Well, go ahead."

Yang Ruqing also got busy.

Several clerks stayed in the inn to watch over it at night, while the rest went back to their residences.

Yang Ruqing called Chang Geng and Li Da'er over.

"Uncle Chang Geng, I'm planning to transfer a few of Da Er's men from the transport team to the restaurant to help me."

This way, the transport team would be three or four people short.

“When you get back, return to your village, or perhaps a nearby one, and gather some trustworthy individuals. Fill the gaps in the transport team.” she said.

Chang Geng nodded. "Okay, just last time I brought over those things have almost sold out, in two days' time we will set off to go back."
