"The champion of a lantern festival is not the champion of the palace test, what is there to fight for!"

Tang Yi was an otaku in his last life, and he is also a lazy virtue in this life, even if he is studying hard now, he is also striving to be a standard otaku who has clothes to reach out for food and open his mouth as soon as possible. Then again, I haven't seen anything in my previous life, and what is there to see about things in the Ming Dynasty.

With a stomach full of complaints, he and Wang Shimao went to the street, I didn't know if I didn't see it, I was startled when I saw it, Tang Yi soon felt that his eyes were not enough, the streets were full of people hanging lanterns, people who tied lanterns, and the styles of the lights were so dazzling.

There are legends of characters, such as Lao Tzu riding a bull out of the letter valley, Xi Shi village head Huansha, Zhong Kui catching ghosts, white apes stealing peaches, etc., there are fruits and flowers, a large bunch of grapes, red persimmons, blooming lotus, peonies competing for beauty, as well as birds and beasts, tigers, leopards, bears and deer, everything.

This is just the work of ordinary people, the more towards the direction of the City God Temple, the more exquisite the lanterns, tonight the Lord Zhizhou will preside over the lantern festival in the City God Temple. In order to welcome talented and beautiful people from all walks of life, the shops along the street, the famous families of Taicang have taken out the ability to take care of the house, and the materials for making lanterns are becoming more and more valuable, including glass balls, mica screens, and crystal curtains. At the gate of the City God Temple, there is a huge lantern, and four tall horses are strutting, just like the real thing. It's not time yet, but if it's night, the horses are spinning and you're guaranteed a full house!

Tang Yi had to sigh that compared with these, the landscape lights of later generations are 108,000 miles behind creativity, and as for the cultural gap, it is even more impossible to calculate.

"By the way, cousin, why didn't you see the lanterns of your Wang family, could it be stingy?"

Wang Shimao twitched the corners of his mouth and said disdainfully: "You won't make money, our Wang family is also a thousand-year-old family, this year our family is making Fujian pearl lanterns, there are hundreds of pearls alone, worth a thousand taels, and they will be taken out at night." ”

"Then I'm going to have to take a good look at it."

Tang Yi smiled and looked at both sides of the street, many stalls selling snacks, snacks, and toys had been set up, in order to occupy a good place.

The Lantern Festival is not only the citizens of Taicang, but also the farmers of ten miles and eight townships, as well as the young lady who does not go out of the door and does not step out, and all the people will have fun. grabbed a good position, and the income in one night can be worth a month or two, where can a small businessman endure it.

Only a few steps away from Tang Yi and them, there was a small stall of candy blowers, surrounded by many children watching the excitement. The sugar man is delicious and good-looking, he is simply a killer of children, and he didn't see Shen Lin's little eyes lit up.

Tang Yi walked over with a smile and took a closer look, this candy blower was a little unusual.

In front of him lay a wooden disc with no less than twenty kinds of small animals and common things, a copper turned once, and the pointer pointed at whatever you wanted. Naturally, some turn to good, and some are almost good, such as the little fat man who is spinning.

There are four or five sugar people in one hand, all of them are "dragon's eyes", which is a good name, to put it bluntly, it is a little jelly bean, pitiful, not as big as the phoenix's head, the little fat man is so angry that his cheeks bulge, and his small eyes are staring.

"I don't believe it, I can't turn it around! Walk! ”

With a hard turn, the pointer moved quickly, and gradually the pointer became slower and slower, and the little fat man stared at it without blinking. Gradually, getting closer and closer to the phoenix, the fat body, coupled with huge wings and tail, turn to the phoenix, and then make a lot of money.

"It's close, it's close, it's almost there, it's moving, it's moving!" The little fat man yelled as if no one was around, but the pointer did not listen to his orders, and stopped only one block away from the phoenix.

The middle-aged man on the other side smiled and said, "It's a little mouse, I'll do it for you, and I don't want to continue to spin." ”

"Turn, why don't you turn!"

The little fat man put his hand in his pocket, rummaged left and right, and found that not a single copper plate was gone. The little fat man snorted angrily, reluctantly took the little mouse, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Tang Yi and Wang Shimao.

"Hahaha, big brother, why are you here?"

When the little fat man Wang Shaozhou saw Tang Yi, he threw all the unhappiness just now out of the clouds, and said with a smile: "Big brother, you didn't go to the theater when you were young, Shuibo Liangshan, but it's good-looking, those heroes drink wine and eat meat in big bowls when they meet, by the way, little brother invites you to eat......"

Suddenly thinking that the money had been spent, Wang Shaozhou's face flushed with anxiety, "Big brother, I, I'll go home and get the money." ”

Where would Tang Yi let a child have a treat, he stretched out his hand and took a "dragon eye" from Wang Shaozhou's hand, and said with a smile: "Just invite me to be a sugar man." ”

"And me." Wang Shimao stretched out his hand and took one.

Wang Shaozhou noticed Wang Shimao at this time, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Nephew, you dare to touch your uncle's things?"

"Uncle? On Chinese New Year's Eve, didn't you pretend to be a junior and run to me to hold a red envelope? Have you forgotten? ”

Wang Shaozhou was caught with a sore foot, so he could only look at Tang Yi desperately and beg his eldest brother for help. Tang Yi coughed like a boss.

"Cousin, why is Shao Zhou your uncle?"

"Ahh Wang Shimao snorted, and said helplessly: "Who has made us have more family, don't look at this kid who is younger than me, and the white-haired one calls me uncle!" ”

"I don't care about them, you remember, I'm your uncle's eldest brother, what should you call me, you know what to call me."

"There's a fart count! Shoulder to shoulder, brother, don't try to take advantage of me! ”

While they were arguing, Shen Lin came out of the crowd bitterly with a few sugar men in his hands. He just laughed at Wang Shaozhou's bad luck, but when it was his turn, he also turned four "dragon eyes", plus an apple, in terms of size, it was not as big as Wang Shaozhou's little mouse.

These two unlucky bastards, you look at me, I look at you, and there are tears of sympathy.

"Young master, I, should I find the Blue Immortal for transfer?" Shen Lin said aggrievedly.

"Your luck has nothing to do with ghosts and gods, but it has nothing to do with this boss." Tang Yi glanced at it, most of the children who bought candy were small noses and small eyes, and the big ones didn't turn out, which didn't conform to common sense at all.

Don't ask, someone must be doing tricks and taking advantage of children, what kind of hero is it!

Tang Yi took out five coppers from his pocket, threw them into the boss's hand, and said with a smile: "Come, I'll turn it around too." As he spoke, he grabbed the pointer and turned it vigorously. After others turn the pointer, they will stare closely, Tang Yi is different, his eyes are locked on the boss.

Just when the pointer was getting slower and slower, Tang Yi found that the boss's gaze suddenly swept downward, and sure enough, there was a ghost. Tang Yi remained silent, turned three times in a row, and got a Ya pear and two longans, and his record was similar to that of Wang Shaozhou and Shen Lin, causing Wang Shimao to clap his hands and laugh on the side.

After observing three times in a row, Tang Yi had a number in his heart, the turntable was placed on top of the wooden frame, covered with tattered leather around it, and the guy who was the candy man had one foot under the shelf, which happened to be covered. Whenever he turned the turntable, he touched the mechanism with his foot and manipulated the result, so that the children could only turn to the small things, and the big ones could not be seen and eaten.

When Tang Yi turned again, there was a short wooden stick in his hand, the pointer was getting slower and slower, the middle-aged man subconsciously lowered his head, at this moment, the wooden stick was like a poisonous snake, quickly hit it, only to hear a bang, the candy seller's face suddenly changed, although Tang Yi couldn't see it, but it hit it very accurately, and the wooden stick hit his ankle. The candy seller gritted his teeth in pain, and hurriedly pulled back, even shaking the shelf twice.

The children around were not stupid, and when they saw the abnormality, they immediately came over curiously. The candy seller's face turned green, and he didn't know if he was afraid or in pain.

"Hehe, uncle, your legs are numb after sitting for a long time, why don't you take it out and take two steps!"

Tang Yi didn't debunk his trick, but found a step for him, and the candy seller was stunned, barely squeezing out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"That's right, yes, it's a little numb in the legs!"

He reluctantly replied, and took two steps pretendedly, and by this time the pointer had stopped, pointing to the position of the phoenix!

"Ah, big brother, you're amazing!" The little fat man Wang Shaozhou slapped his face and shouted, and the other children's eyes lit up, and they were all attracted by this scene, as if this was the first phoenix to turn out.

"Uncle, you see this, ......" Tang Yi stared with a smile, the candy seller cried and mourned, and said reluctantly: "Do it, I'll do it." ”

Soon a huge phoenix was displayed in front of everyone, Tang Yi didn't give up, and turned again, and the candy seller didn't dare to move his hands and feet, so he could only widen his eyes, looking forward to falling on the little things, who knew that Tang Yi's luck was against the sky, and he actually fell on the phoenix again!

Two phoenixes came out in a row, the bear children were beaten with chicken blood, and more than a dozen little guys roared over, surrounding the stall to the brim. One by one, they took out the New Year's money from their pockets, for fear of falling behind, and their enthusiasm frightened the candy sellers.

At this time, the two phoenixes were ready, and the candy seller stretched out his hand to deliver it to Tang Yi's hands.

"Hehe, uncle, it's a celebration for the New Year, isn't it good to have small profits and quick turnover!" Tang Yi blinked

"Yes, yes!" The candy seller nodded awkwardly.

Tang Yi took two phoenixes and stuffed one to Wang Shaozhou, one to Shen Lin, the little fat man took it over without heart or lungs, Shen Lin's mind was heavy, of course he saw the clue and left the stall, he couldn't help but snort angrily: "Young master, that guy is cheating, why don't you expose that liar?" ”
