20. Lantern boat

As the name suggests, the boat is filled with lanterns of all kinds.

On a moonlit night, the lantern boats float slowly on the river, which is very beautiful from a distance.

Standing on the bank of the river embankment, you can vaguely hear the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras floating from the lantern boat. It's the occasional dense drum beat that's exciting. Pass the flower drum and drink the flower wine.

"Ten second-grade spars, and the lantern boat ticket only sells ten second-grade spars. "There were people shouting desperately at the small pier on the shore.

The good business should be the lantern boat of the Zhang Juan family, which does not need to be shouted at all when it is full, and it is those loose boats that are shouted, which are only famous in the local area, and the price is mainly affordable.

Leaving the Qin capital a hundred miles away, Li Chongran had already abandoned the carriage, and Si Shen Yue had said that he was careful of the thieves in the walled city.

Today's Li Chongran has no chance of winning against Liancheng.

The most lively place, and also one of the safest places, Li Chongran threw out ten second-grade spars, these spars sent the servants of the family in the Qin capital, and they couldn't look down on them.

"This master, please, that's your brand. The ticket seller handed Li Chongran a wooden sign with the words: "Lotus Boat is a guest." ”。

Li Chongran was too lazy to watch, and he knew that he was going to the Lotus Boat after listening to the shouting.

The small boat of passengers can accommodate five people, Li Chongran boarded the boat, waited for a cup of tea, and only got five people, it can be imagined that there are not many guests in the lotus boat.

The lotus boat is in the lantern boat, it is a medium boat, and it stands to reason that the strength of the boat owner is not low, maybe the girl on the lantern boat is indeed not outstanding in talent.

Boarding the lotus boat, Li Chongran understood the reason for the scarcity of guests on this boat.

There were no flowers and wine, and the guests sat around the table and watched the girls on the stage sing songs or play musical instruments. The girl in charge of pouring the wine also stood far away, and the guests needed wine, so they greeted her, came, poured the wine, and left quickly, and stood far away.

This kind of hospitality is not at all like a lantern boat.

The lantern boat is the most distinctive entertainment project in Dengzhou, and the night life is all arranged on the lantern boat.

The two men who came to board the lotus boat together did not enter the main cabin, and shouted for a refund.

The girl on the boat also had no expression, and wrote the word "return eleven" on the wooden sign, and the two men did not argue, and they all deserved to suffer a dumb loss.

Li Chongran walked into the main cabin, randomly selected a table near the front desk, and sat down.

Looking around, the guests were basically listless, drinking stuffy wine, eating peanuts, and knocking melon seeds.

The performance on the stage is not too boring, listening to the music, it belongs to the kind of decent music, and there is a clear difference from the kind of ecstasy played by other lantern boats.

No gambling, no drinking, listening to music, and occasionally someone singing a tune, such a lantern boat floating in the river at night is also unique.

Li Chongran glanced at it, the menu on the table, except for wine, tea, melon seeds and peanuts, there were no big fish and meat dishes, but the lotus noodles stood out and jumped out of Li Chongran's eyes.

Who ran to the lantern boat and ate a bowl of lotus noodles worth three second-grade spars.

Lotus noodles, you pick ten lotus flowers to cook a large pot of noodles, covered with lotus seeds, and then three or four dishes of cold lotus root, which is not worth three second-grade spars.

There must be a unique private side. Thinking of this, Li Chongran took out three second-grade spars and put them on the table: "Lotus noodles!"

Before he could speak, all the guests in the cabin looked at him in unison.

Their eyes seemed to be flashing with the word "stupid x"

Before the song was finished, a large plate was served and rested firmly in front of Li Chongran.

Lotus noodles. A big lotus flower on the plate, like noodles to make longevity peaches, first make a lotus shape, dot the color, put it in the steamer and steam, the center of the lotus is empty, pour in a bowl of fried sauce noodles, hand-pulled noodles made of mixed sauce noodles, the mixed sauce noodles are poured with minced pepper meat, sprinkled with green onions and fried soybeans, there is a small bowl of lotus seed porridge next to the lotus, and there is a carp carved by carrots next to the porridge bowl.

On the other side of the lotus flower rests a thin stack of round dough, shredded green onions, sweet noodle sauce...

This should be the round dough used to eat roast duck, shredded green onions, and sweet noodle sauce, why is it nondescript!

Li Chongran tried to recall that Eunuch Li had seen some strange dishes.

I don't know about lotus noodles, has he talked about it?

Li Chongran picked up the chopsticks, didn't know where to start, picked them up and put them down.

At this time, the guests watched Li Chongran eat noodles while eating melon seeds, completely ignoring the performance of the girls on stage.

The girl pouring wine in the audience still stood far away, staring at Li Chongran.

"I'll just say, this mortal is a strong body, and he is basically a scholar, and the scholar has no way to eat lotus noodles, what does it mean?"

"Big brother, what do you mean?"

"It means that this noodle is not delicious. The color, flavor, and flavor are not complete, and the readers have a lot of knowledge, and they don't want to put down the chopsticks, will it be delicious?"

A mortal like Li Chongran could hear the words of the table not far away, and he believed that the people in the entire cabin could hear it.

Li Chongran took out three two or two spars, put them on the table, and ordered lotus wine. A long list of wine names, also known as lotus wine, Li Chongran has never heard of it.

The table began to talk again: ", Dasha X." ”

"Certainly not locals. ”

"That's right, the locals have already been deceived. ”

"Six second-grade spars, you can sleep with two girls with good looks for a night. ”

The lotus wine was served, a large pot of lotus wine, and Li Chongran asked without opening the lid of the wine A faint sour fragrance. Rice wine, how can it smell like vinegar? Brewing, cellaring a problem?

After another song, Li Chongran didn't move his chopsticks, nor did he touch the wine jug, and spent six second-grade spars in vain.

There was a girl on the stage who sang a little song, she didn't cover her face, she looked smart, her eyes were like stars, and she had charming dimples when she smiled.

The guests in the cabin looked at the stage one after another. Li Chongran held the wine jug in one hand and the wine glass in the other, ready to pour the wine.

Someone outside the cabin shouted: "Be careful of hitting the ship..."

The boat swayed from side to side, the cabin felt shaking, and Li Chongran poured the wine on the plate. The carp carved from carrots swam alive and leaped into the lotus.

Zizi, as well as the aroma of barbecue, Li Chongran put down the wine glass, picked up the chopsticks and began to taste. The carp carved with carrots is not a carrot, and Li Chongran doesn't know what it is, anyway, it's meat, some kind of demon beast's meat. Wrapped in a thin round skin, with shredded green onions, dipping sauce, it tastes good, and then drink a mouthful of lotus seed porridge, which is fragrant and soaked in the heart.

Li Chongran poured the wine from the jug into the lotus, and the wine in the plate and the wine in the lotus actually melted the lotus, like porridge but not porridge.

At this time, the girl who was waiting for the wine from afar quietly reached Li Chongran's ear and said, "Congratulations to the guests, pass the first floor." Please follow me. ”

The guests, including cultivators with pointed ears, heard the girl's words and shouted loudly, "What is the first layer?? Bring me a lotus noodle and lotus wine." ”

The guests in the cabin seemed to be very interested, and they saw the wine girl suddenly disappearing into the cabin with Li Chongran, presumably there was a hidden space pattern in the cabin.

In the Lotus Lantern Boat, every guest ate lotus noodles in Li Chongran's method and ate the real fragrance, but no one informed them that they had cleared customs.

It turns out that lotus noodles are eaten like this, I don't know if there will be one tomorrow?

The guests looked at the stage with doubts.

I don't know when a bewitching woman appeared on the stage, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Lotus Boat has been in Dengzhou for three years, and only the guest just now passed the first level." Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the Lotus Boat will no longer be open for business, until the guest fails to break through, or wins, the Lotus Boat will consider whether it is open or not as appropriate..."

Everyone was in an uproar, and before half of the night, almost the entire Dengzhou City spread the story of the lotus boat and lotus noodles. The Lotus Lantern Boat floated in Dengzhou for three years, and in the first year, the rich people in Dengzhou City spent no less than five times on the Lotus Lantern Boat, and still no one passed the first layer; in the second year, all the people in Dengzhou City went to the Lotus Lantern Boat, and in the third year, the Lotus Lantern Boat became a well-known chicken rib lantern boat in Dengzhou. If you want the girl to have no girl, drink flower wine, the girl is still hiding far away, wanting to eat some supper, but only strange noodles, gambling money, I am afraid that it is a dream on the lotus lantern boat.

Li Chongran found that he was dreaming, followed the girl who led the way into the hidden space, ate plate noodles, ate right, counted as customs clearance, so what is the next level?
