After separating from the old man, it was already noon, although this was the case, the flow of people on the street was still not decreasing, but there was a tendency to increase, which added a lot of difficulty to Xi Tianling's search plan, in an afternoon, Xi Tianling relied on the search of the power of thought, and even one-fifth of the east of the city was not searched, and there were too many people in the east of the city to hold the Lantern Festival.

"Master Xi, you're back."

As soon as Xi Tianling returned to his room in the Tang Mansion, Tang Birou's little maid 'Cai'er' came over to say hello.

"Yes, I'm back!" During the day, the frequent use of telekinesis made Xi Tianling very tired now, and there was still a period of time before it got dark, so Xi Tianling was now ready to sleep for a while, and when he heard the words of the little maid Cai'er, he responded casually.

"Oh." Seeing that Xi Tianling seemed to be very tired, Cai'er didn't mean to disturb Xi Tianling, so she replied and ran to the yard of her small house.

Xi Tianling returned to the room, took off his boots directly, lay down on the bed directly, and fell asleep

"Mr. Xi, Mr. Xi." Just when Xi Tianling was sleeping in a daze, a pleasant female voice came from his ears, and the dazed Xi Tianling only felt very familiar.

Slowly opening his eyes, a beautiful face appeared in front of Xi Tianling.

The frightened Xi Tianling sat up suddenly, and the sleepiness just now disappeared in an instant.

When he saw the person coming clearly, Xi Tianling relaxed: "Miss Tang, why are you here?" ”

Xi Tianling breathed a sigh of relief, although his spirit and mental endurance were very strong, but just before he woke up, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, which also startled him, this should be 'people are scared and scared to death'!

Seeing Xi Tianling's appearance, Tang Birou also wanted to laugh, but the standard etiquette reminded her that he couldn't hold back his smile, but the crescent moon in the corner of his eye still betrayed her: "Xi Gongzi, it's dark now, the Lantern Festival has begun, I'll call Gongzi to get up, and when I saw that the door of Gongzi's room was not closed, I came in directly." ”

Tang Birou explained her intention to Xi Tianling, and said that she went directly to Xi Tianling's room without permission, and she was also a little blushing.

"Oh. It's dark, just a few of us? Xi Tianling pointed to Cai'er, the little maid beside Tang Birou, and said.

"Daddy has something to do, so we can only go with a few of us." Tang Birou nodded and said.

"Oh, well, let's go now! I'm still very interested in this lantern festival! When Xi Tianling mentioned the Lantern Festival, his interest was raised, and he urged the two girls.

When Xi Tianling took the two girls to the Lantern Festival in the east of the city, it was already densely packed with people, very lively, all kinds of snacks and fun stall performances, many things that could not be seen at all in the modern city, there were also here, which made Xi Tianling's eyes involuntarily attracted by these things.

When Xi Tianling was enjoying the scenery full of lanterns hanging everywhere, suddenly, Xi Tianling's eyes were attracted by a stall.

What attracted Xi Tianling's attention was a kind of thing that could be eaten and played, called sugar man, making sugar man is a traditional handicraft of the Han nationality, the maker picks an extra burden, one end is the stove for heating, and the other end is sugar and tools. The sugar is made by heating sucrose and maltose, and the natural color is brownish-yellow, and some pigments or pigments are added to make it red or green.

The control of heat is the key when using, if it is too hot, it will be too thin and easy to deform, and if it is cold, it will be too hard to shape. The tools used are simple, mostly spoon-shaped and spade-shaped. Sugar figures are made of boiled cane sugar or maltose in various shapes, including people, animals, flowers and plants. It is said that there were sugar people in the Song Dynasty, mostly plane modeling, just like today's sugar paintings, when it was called drama candy, and later it was also called thick sugar gourd, blowing sugar mapo, playing swing thick cake, sugar Yi Niang, sugar official, sugar pagoda, sugar turtle and so on. Sugar men are not easy to preserve, and in the past, when there was a shortage of desserts, they would eat them after playing with them. That's Sugar Man.

Sugar people are not very common in modern cities, but it is this uncommon gadget that evokes Xi Tianling's infinite memories.

When he was a child, Xi Tianling's childhood was actually very happy, although Xi Tianling's grandmother was old, she did have a good skill in pinching candy people, so at that time, Xi Tianling's family was not too depressed, and when he was a child, Xi Tianling's grandmother often pinched candy people for Xi Tianling, and all kinds of pinched them for him, it can be said that when Xi Tianling was a child, sugar people were Xi Tianling's best friends.

"What's wrong? Mr. Xi? Tang Birou, who was following Xi Tianling, noticed Xi Tianling's strange appearance and asked suspiciously.

"Oh, it's okay, let's go buy two candy men." Xi Tianling was brought back to reality by Tang Birou's voice, and forcibly held back his longing for his grandmother, and took the two girls to the booth where the candy man was pinching.

"Miss Tang, Cai'er, you can choose what you like, I'll send you!" Although Xi Tianling misses his grandmother very much now, he didn't show it, smiled, looked at the two girls who were very interested in the sugar man and said.

"Really, then you're welcome, boss, I want this, well, this, and." Tang Birou and Cai'er, the two little girls who were looking at the sugar man, heard Xi Tianling's words, and directly cheered and began to choose the sugar man that had been pinched.

Xi Tianling looked at these sugar people, and they were very delicate, but they didn't have the one that Xi Tianling wanted the most, "Boss, can you help me pinch a sugar gourd." ”

That's right, what Xi Tianling wants most is a sugar gourd, because Xi Tianling clearly remembers that the first sugar man his grandmother made for him was a sugar gourd, and the most pinched for Xi Tianling in the future was also a sugar gourd.

"Okay, guest officer, you wait a minute." When the boss heard Xi Tianling's words, he agreed directly, and then began to make the candy man, and this boss is also a young old man, so Xi Tianling looked at the grandmother who was pinching the sugar man intently, and felt close.

Looking at the old man in front of her, with a focused look, the sugar man slowly became a brand-new sugar gourd candy man in her old but flexible hands.

"Alright, young man, this is the sugar gourd candy man you want." Soon, the sugar gourd candy man was ready, and Xi Tianling took this sugar man and sounded grandma, his only relative, again.
