Song Chen and Su Miao picked up two full pockets of frozen ladles and went back, just in time for the shopkeepers and stewards to discuss things and prepare for dinner. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are many things in Hengqingtang, and the shopkeepers have also worshiped this year, and the matter has been discussed, and after staying in Xiaojiabao for one night, they began to set off for the second day.

In the following third, fourth, and fifth years, there were constantly shopkeepers from Hengqing Hall from all over the world.

By the sixth day of the new year, the Xiao family's mansion suddenly quieted down.

Xiao Jingyu is a lively person, after resting for a long time, in the afternoon, she began to sit a little unsettled.

Tang Yun reminded her: "Master, didn't you pick the juice of the fairy grass and say that you want to make a beauty cream?" ”

"That's right!" Xiao Jingyu clapped her hands, she almost forgot that she and Su Miao had cut the fairy grass juice of six porcelain bottles in the mountains before, and said that it would be made into skin care cream after a few days of precipitation! After so many busy days, those bottles are gone!

"Master, can I help you?" Tang Yun's rare initiative. That is, just looking at Xiao Jingyu's face is enough to convince people of the skin care cream she made. If she went to help, how could the master give her ten cans and eight cans......

"That's fine!" Someone helped, Xiao Jingyu naturally couldn't ask for it, "Anyway, Miaomiao is not here, if no one helps, it will take a long time." ”

Where did Su Miao go?

On that day, when she watched the firecrackers being set off in Xiaojiabao, she remembered to watch the fireworks. But Xiaojiabao is surrounded by forests, which is not suitable for fireworks! Song Chen later inquired about it, and heard that there would be a custom of fireworks in the southwest city on the night of the sixth day of the new year.

"It is said that this fireworks start at the fourth quarter of the unitary hour and go all the way to the end of the hour!" Song Chen said the news he inquired about.

"Leave it for so long?" Su Miao was very excited.

"Well, it's said that this tradition in Southwest City has been around for a long time. At the beginning, it was launched by the government, and in order to have fun with the people in the New Year, some large families were asked to donate a batch of silver to buy exquisite fireworks to be set off in the square in the city, which was lively and lively. But one year, the newly arrived prefect took away some of the money, and those people felt that the quality of the fireworks was much worse, so they privately found someone to find out the truth of the matter. But that's the prefect, although the big families are rich, they can't compete with others! But they were not angry, so they got together to discuss, and in the second year, they didn't pay any more money, and they used that money to order large and extraordinary fireworks, and then slowly formed a custom......"

"After the people watched the fireworks set off by each family, they had to make a comment, and slowly ranked up, which also led to those people secretly working harder, and the fireworks became bigger and bigger, more and more gorgeous!"

"I'm looking forward to it!" The more Su Miao listened, the more fascinated she became, and she patted the horse and ran a little faster.

Xiaobai hurriedly followed. Originally, Su Miao and Song Chen didn't plan to bring it over, because it is said that there are a lot of people watching the fireworks, and almost the people of the entire city have come out, and they are not interested in squeezing together with those people, so they must go up to the roof to see it, because with Xiaobai's weight, I am afraid that it will collapse the roof of others...... But there was no way, Xiaobai was tired of playing in the snow these days, and when he saw that they were going out, he had to follow up with whatever he said, and in the end he had no choice but to let it go together.

When they arrived in the city, Song Chen and Su Miao did not go to the courtyard of the Xiao family in the city, but after inquiring about the location of the square where the fireworks were set off, they booked a private room on the third floor in Baxian Fang not far away. The window of the private room is facing the square, and it is the best place to see it.

Originally, the private room was not open to the public, but although Su Miao ordered a lot of dishes from the difficult chef at the Eight Fresh Shops in Selangor City, it also gave them a lot of innovation, and the big shopkeeper over there gave Su Miao a token of theirs, saying that it could be used in all the Eight Fresh Shops. After Song Chen showed the token, he successfully gave the private room.

Xiaobai is getting bigger and bigger, and if you are not familiar with it, everyone who sees it will be scared. In order not to attract attention, when I went to book a private room, it was Song Chen who came forward, Su Miao and Xiaobai waited in an alley, and waited until Song Chen went up to the third floor and opened the window, and then Su Miao carried Xiaobai into through the window.

Su Miao put Xiaobai down, and threatened it in her mouth: "Xiaobai, you have gained a lot of weight recently!" If you continue to be so fat, I won't be able to hold you! Then you won't want to go to Heavenly Sword Peak! ”

Xiao Bai listened to Su Miao's big eyes and leaned towards Song Chen's side, Su Miao looked funny: "No matter how fat you are, Ah Chen can't hold you......"

Song Chen picked it up and weighed it: "It's a lot heavier, what have you eaten recently?" "Xiaobai has always been keen to eat the fish he caught in Xiaojiabao, and it is said that it will not get fat!

Su Miao glared at Xiaobai angrily and angrily: "During the Chinese New Year, the clan school in Xiaojiabao stopped, and a large group of children played around Xiaobai every day, stuffing it with a lot of snacks and ......"

"Don't eat that dinner." Song Chen looked at the dishes on the wall and asked Su Miao, "Miaomiao, what do you want to eat?" ”

"I want to eat shrimp!" In Xiaojiabao, except for the fish caught by Xiaobai, they all eat a lot of mountain delicacies, and Su Miao has long been greedy, "Blachéd." ”

"Good! Want to eat pan-fried cuttlefish cakes? Song Chen responded to all requests, and even increased, "Is enoki mushroom beef roll good?" Do you want to eat crab? ”

"Don't ......" Su Miao shook her head, peeling crabs is too troublesome!

"Well, it's a bit hard to peel...... Then I want a fish maw stew*** Miaomiao, you are too thin, you need to eat more meat......" Song Chen chattered.

Su Miao blinked as soon as she heard that she was too thin: "Isn't it better to be thinner?" She remembered that when she was in King Jing's Mansion, Song Wanrou was very afraid that she would get fat, and she didn't eat a lot of things, for fear that her wedding dress would not be able to wear it by then......

"Who said that?" Song Chen disagreed, "It's cute to be fatter!" ”

"But Sister Wanrou of Jingwangfu, they all said that they were fat and not good......-looking," Su Miao questioned.

"They're different." Song Chen coaxed her, "Miaomiao, you look good both thin and fat!" However, I prefer you to be fatter......" Speaking of this, Song Chen's face turned red, and he covered it up.

"Then I'll eat more." Su Miao said with a grin.

Song Chen was satisfied, snapped his fingers, and pointed to Xiao Bai at the bell hanging on the red rope behind the door of the private room: "Xiao Bai, go and call Xiao Er." ”

Xiaobai ran over in three steps and two steps, jumped up and slapped the bell-

Soon Xiao Er knocked on the door of the private room, and when he pushed the door open, he saw Xiao Bai sitting facing the door, and he was so frightened that he almost fell backwards, Song Chen screamed, and Xiao Bai retreated to the side.

Xiao Zhan moved in tremblingly, while wondering in his heart, just now it was clear that only this young man had entered the private room, why was there another girl and such a mighty white lion in the blink of an eye! But fortunately, they sneaked up without attracting attention, otherwise as soon as this white lion appeared in the hall outside, I don't know how many guests they would scare away!

Song Chen smoothly reported the name of the dish he had discussed with Su Miao just now: "...... This fireworks are set off at four o'clock? ”

"Yes!" Xiao Er heard that he was specially watching the fireworks, and the conversation also became interesting, "Guest officer, you are really blessed!" This year, the four major families in the city will compete for the first place, and it is said that each of them has nine layers of fireworks! ”

"Ninth floor?" Su Miao didn't understand very well.

"Whoa!" The guy glanced at the window and beckoned Song Chen and Su Miao to come over and look, "Look! ”

Song Chen and Su Miao stood at the window, and they saw that they hadn't noticed for a while, and there were already a lot of fireworks in that square that had been transported one after another. These fireworks are different from the one by one when they are usually put off, these are made of bamboo to form a tower-shaped shelf, each layer of a variety, between fireworks and fireworks, between varieties and varieties are connected with leads, there is a very high, there is a feeling of standing out from the crowd, Su Miao counted: "There are really nine layers!" ”

The little second child withdrew and ordered the kitchen to serve the food, Song Chen and Su Miao continued to watch, and after a while, another nine-story fireworks were transported over, and Su Miao's eyes lit up: "When these are put up, it will be very spectacular!" ”

Song Chen also saw this kind of fireworks for the first time, and felt very novel: "In the past, when I saw other people's fireworks, after one was released, I had to order it again, and then I had a second one." This kind of ignition can be put to the end continuously at one time, which is very imaginative! ”

"I knew that I had called the master and the master over too!" Su Miao suddenly thought, "Shi Niang must like it very much when she sees it!" ”

"Shi Niang should also know that there is this fireworks festival!" Song Chen estimated that he heard from the people of Xiaojiabao that this custom has been around for decades......

Su Miao was right to think about it, so she put this stubble down. The dishes in Baxian Fang were served very quickly, and Song Chen beckoned her to go back to the dining table to eat, and when she was full, the fireworks should start to be released.

At four o'clock in the unitary hour, there was a sound of gongs and drums at any time, and a voice announced that the fireworks were ready to begin, telling the crowd to retreat to a safe distance.

Su Miao still had a piece of chicken that Song Chen gave her in her mouth, so she hurriedly ran to the small table in the window to see the excitement. Song Chen pulled her back: "Don't worry, finish the meal first." At first, small fireworks were released, and the big ones didn't go until two quarters of an hour later! ”

Su Miao couldn't speak with something stuffed in her mouth, and looked at Song Chen with her eyes, as if she could speak: How do you know?

"I just asked the shopkeeper!" The soup of the fish maw stewed chicken had been drunk, and Song Chen dismantled the stewed chicken, one of the chicken legs was given to Xiaobai, who was looking at him with a blank eye, and the other was sandwiched into his bowl - the meat that was dismantled into pieces and fed to Su Miao.

Su Miao finished eating the piece in her mouth, and refused to the chopsticks that Song Chen stretched out: "I don't want to eat ......"

Song Chen looked at her: "Why don't you eat chicken breast?" ”

Su Miao thought for a while: "Then I'll eat chicken legs......

It wasn't until Su Miao ate a chicken leg that it was put to the window. When Song Chen was dismantling the meat and feeding Su Miao, he occasionally picked up a piece of meat to eat, and at this time, the chicken was almost eaten, and after Su Miao passed, he also moved over, while assigning Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, call someone to clean up." ”

Xiaobai ate a chicken foot and a lot of cuttlefish cakes, and was very satisfied, so he obediently did as he was told.

is still the shopkeeper of Fangcai, after he packed up all his things, he also sent a pot of hot tea and a few plates of melon seeds, snacks and the like in, saying that it was given by the shopkeeper for free.

Su Miao thanked her politely, and as soon as she turned around, the nine-story fireworks tower began to be released.

One of the families is indeed a craftsman who has spent a lot of effort to find, and the color of each layer of this firework is different from the flowers that bloom, some of them explode a circle and radiate outward, some of them draw down like meteors, and some are red, purple, blue, yellow, and green...... Colorful.

Su Miao's favorite is the last layer, the fireworks were not shot into the sky, but from the ground to the fire tree silver flowers, there is no earth-shattering sound, there are no colorful colors, just like a silent undercurrent, only plain silver-white, but the posture is beautiful!

Su Miao discussed with Song Chen while watching, and did not leave reluctantly until the last nine-story fireworks tower was finished.

Before staying in the inn, Su Miao also announced to Song Chen: "Ah Chen, we will come to Xiaojiabao for the New Year next year!" ”

"Yes!" Song Chen agreed without hesitation, "In case you don't come, I will find someone to make a ten-story fireworks tower for you to see wherever the New Year is!" ”

The next morning, after breakfast, Su Miao and the others slowly returned to Xiaojiabao. As soon as she saw Xiao Jingyu and them, Su Miao couldn't wait to describe to them the fireworks she saw last night.

“…… It's a shame you don't go to see it! Su Miao is still unfinished.

"Ahh Xiao Jingyu was really interested, "Miaomiao, you sneaked over by yourself, why didn't you call me?" ”

"I thought Shi Niang had seen ......" At this time, Song Chen hurriedly came out to confess.

"I've seen it before, but the fireworks weren't so spectacular back then!" Xiao Jingyu said regretfully.

"It's fine." Lin Jin said nonchalantly, "Why don't we go to the south?" There are many places in the south that have the custom of setting off fireworks from the tenth to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month! ”

"Okay!" Xiao Jingyu said to go, "Then let's quickly pack up and leave tomorrow!" ”

Su Miao and the four of them looked at each other, these two elders left them so chic and like no one else?

"Henghuan, Xiao Chen, let's go together!" Lin Jin called them too, "By the way, go and see the snow scene in the south they said." ”

If the master has an order, how can the apprentice not obey?

But Lin Jin is also a very considerate master, and in the end they decided that after starting from Xiaojiabao, the first stop they would go to Tairu Villa first, so that these little ones would pay New Year's greetings to Tang Tairu, and he would also go to meet old friends for a while. After that, they stayed in Tairu Mountain Villa for a few days, and they also took the opportunity to go back to Tianjian Peak. After these things are done, we will continue to walk south.
