"Big brother, who are we?" Abin didn't understand, they were all injured like this, so they didn't go to see it, so they ran to see the lanterns first? Who doesn't know that this lantern festival is a place where young couples come from. It can be said that this lantern festival is another Valentine's Day and Qixi Festival.

What are they doing here?

Chen Zhao was hiding behind a lantern, poked his head out, and happened to see the most beautiful smile in his life. The smile seemed to hit his heart, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Smiled again, saw again, that bright smile, as if with the sunshine on Chen Zhao's heartstrings, Chen Zhao covered his chest, feeling hit in the heart again. Chen Zhao's move made Abin and the others behind him nervous.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you, did you get hit in the heart? Do you want to go to the doctor?"

Chen Zhao didn't look back, waved his hand, and signaled that it was okay, Abin and the others were confused. didn't understand what Chen Zhao was about, so Chen Zhao wouldn't explain anything to them.

"Ten meters to the right, someone followed. As a soldier, Geng Zhi was keenly aware that someone was following them.

"Well, it's those people just now. Gu Yan squinted and recognized the person.

"Still don't think it's enough to fight?" Lin Yu rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight again, but Gu Yan stopped him.

"There's a lot of people here, and they don't seem to want to fight, so let's take a look. Gu Yan felt that they didn't mean to follow them and prepare to fight again.

"What do you mean? Is it just to come over and see if we are having fun?" Lin Yu was a little puzzled, Chen Zhao, what were they doing.

"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, and before people do it, it's not good for us to clean up people. "Geng Zhi still has a clear view of the situation, not to mention that he is a soldier, and now he is on someone else's territory, let alone act rashly.

"Let's take a look. "That's all it can be.

"Yes. "The best thing to do right now is to take precautions.

"Both, do you want a lantern, I have all the lanterns here. "When the lantern boss saw someone coming, he was very flattering, and he only hoped that his things could be sold.

"How much are these two?" Tong Yan chose a lotus lantern, and Xue Lingling took a fancy to a cute marquee.

"Good vision, this one costs 1500, and the marquee costs 2000. Tong Yan and Xue Lingling picked the two most expensive lamps on the stall, and the lantern boss felt that the money was about to go into his purse, and his mouth couldn't close when he smiled.

"Ahh

"Boss, do you think that we are from out of town and deliberately trick us!" Tong Yan spent a lot of money, and he also felt that these two small lamps were a little expensive.

The boss of the lantern hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, how dare I deliberately make money, these are the two most expensive lamps on my stall, and the price of my purchase is 1000, and I can't help but make some money." ”

Today is the annual lantern festival in Lijiang, the lanterns are made by hand, and there is a shelf life, and after a long time, the paper used to make the lanterns will be affected by the weather and deteriorate. Therefore, in addition to the labor cost and maintenance cost of a lantern, they do not earn much. It's reasonable to ask for money, and of course, it doesn't rule out wanting to make more money while the lanterns are coming. You can't make nothing at all, no.

"Can it be cheaper?" Xue Lingling really likes this lantern, the key is that the price is very painful, and you can't be so lavish if you have money.

What Xue Lingling could think of, Tong Yan naturally thought of it, the price of this lantern is so expensive, the key is that the shelf life is also short, and it is estimated that it can be stored for such a week or two, and according to her character, she doesn't know where to throw it in two days.

"If you want, I'll buy it for you. "As a mobile ATM, Gu Yan is still very conscious. Xue Lingling pressed Gu Yan's hand that had been stretched into his wallet, and smiled bitterly, it is not like this to burn money.

"Dad, this looks good, I want it too!!" A young and familiar voice sounded, it was the daughter of the boss who sold crayfish just now, it seemed to be named Zhang Xiaocao.

"Hey, you're here too. Boss Zhang recognized Gu Yan and the others, and it was precisely because of Gu Yan's charter that he sold all his things today and made a lot of money. The stall closed early, and today is the Lantern Festival, so I want to take my daughter around.

"Brother, sister, are you also there?" Zhang Xiaocao staggered to Tong Yan's side.

"Do you like this too?" Tong Yan pointed to the exquisite lantern, and Zhang Xiaocao nodded.

"It's beautiful, I've seen it at my classmate's house before, and I want one too. ”

Zhang Xiaocao's family is not very rich, and they all rely on their father to set up a stall to make a living. Naturally, he can't afford to buy such an expensive thing, Zhang Xiaocao has always been very sensible, even if he likes this lantern very much, he won't open his mouth willfully.

"Boss, how much is it?" Boss Zhang made a lot of money today and decided to buy one for his daughter. Zhang Xiaocao was elated, waiting to get the lantern.

The lantern boss took down the lantern that Zhang Xiaocao pointed to before, "This costs a thousand yuan." ”

"What, why is it so expensive, wasn't it only 500 last year?" Last year was also at this time, I wanted to take my daughter to buy a lantern to play, but when I heard that the price was 500, I didn't buy it.

Although Zhang Xiaocao is young, he also understands the hard work of asking his father to make money. It's just that the eyes still can't do without this lantern.

"There are fewer people doing it this year, and the purchase price is more expensive, and we can't help it. "The lantern boss didn't mean to be so expensive, but there are too few people who can make lanterns now, and things are vaguely expensive, and there is no way to ask for such a high price.

"Boss, what do you mean?" Lin Yu didn't understand, obviously there were so many lanterns sold in the market, how could there be less?

"You don't know, young people nowadays are reluctant to do these traditional crafts, and the lanterns sold now are made by a few old florists themselves, so they are naturally more expensive. The lantern owner explained.

The production of lanterns is not like the current technology, which comes out with a machine brush, and the lanterns made by the machine cannot reach every detail as people do, and every inconspicuous corner has an impeccable detail.

And each lantern needs to be made by hand, from paper to dyeing and painting, it takes a lot of energy. It takes time and effort, and this lantern is only sold once a year, and after the Lantern Festival, no one will buy it. Many young people are even more reluctant to learn because they can't make money, so there are fewer and fewer people who can do this, most of them are old craftsmen, and the price is getting more and more expensive.

"I see. "No wonder it's so expensive.
