Chapter 14 Chang'an - Prosperous Times

Leaving Chang'an tomorrow, Xiaozhen pestered Xiaoyu to accompany her to the city for a good stroll, running around all day, although she walked all over Chang'an, she didn't have time to take a good look.

Various stalls were set up on both sides of the main road, and there were more pedestrians coming and going.

Xiao Zhen is very fond of this kind of market, no matter where he is, as long as he encounters it, he will definitely visit for a long time, buy some delicate little things, and try those special snacks that he has never seen before.

At this moment, she was gathering in front of the candy seller's stall to watch the stall owner make the candy man, each of the sugar figures was very vivid and the lines were complicated, but the stall owner seemed to draw casually, and the sugar man was completed smoothly.

"Boss, how do you sell this sugar man?"

"Today's holiday, thirty wen two."

"Can you draw any kind of pattern?"

Xiao Yu saw that most of the painted sugar figures were birds and beasts, but the candy figures he wanted to buy now only existed in his heart, and if they were drawn, they would be unique in this world.

"Anything that exists in this world, that I have seen, can try to draw a picture."

It can be seen that the candy seller's vendor is very confident in his skills.

"That'...... Could you please draw two candy figures, the pattern is ......"

Xiaoyu whispered a few words to the stall owner, only to see that the stall owner frowned, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"This ......"

"Today, this thing means a lot to me, and I hope you will fulfill it."

Xiaoyu said, and made another big salute.

"It's good, the beauty of adults is also a beautiful thing."

The stall owner hesitated, but finally agreed.

The stall owner looked back and forth at the couple several times, and after a long time of gesturing, he finally started to draw the candy man.

"Husband, is this the candy man you bought?"

"yes."

"What kind of novel pattern is it?"

"You'll find out in a moment."

Xiaoyu smiled mysteriously, and didn't intend to say it directly.

The people gathered in front of the stall were also very curious, staring intently at the candy in the stall owner's hand, for fear that the candy would disappear with the sugar man in the blink of an eye.

It didn't take long for the sugar man to take shape, and Xiao Zhen seemed to see something, but he couldn't confirm it yet.

"Ah, that's me."

Xiaozhen was very surprised, although she had just drawn the bun and eyes, she was already able to recognize them clearly.

When the face was painted, the onlookers were also amazed, although it was not exactly the same, but there were also seven or eight points of looks.

Even if you just look at the sugar man, you can see that he is a pretty person, so you can see that the stall owner's skills are indeed very exquisite.

The candy man is finally finished, and when the sugar solidifies, it is finished.

The stall owner handed over the candy man, and Xiao Zhen couldn't wait to reach out to pick it up, but Xiao Yu took it first.

"This one is mine."

"What, that's mine."

As a result, Xiaozhen failed to snatch the sugar man, and was a little unhappy.

"Don't be angry, lady, wait a while and you can draw another candy man."

"Mo Feifu-kun, did you buy two sugar people? But I remember you didn't like sweets. ”

"Today is special, the other party is complete when they become pairs, even if they don't like it on weekdays, they should try it today."

In Xiaoyu's impression, this is the first time since she met Xiaoyu that he took the initiative to eat such a sweet and greasy thing.

After a while, another sugar man was also ready, and it could be seen that it was a handsome young man, so naturally, it was Xiaoyu who drew it.

Xiaoyu took the candy man handed over by the stall owner and gave him the fifty yuan he had promised before.

After taking the candy man, Xiaozhen became happy again, and after a long time of shopping, Xiaoyu took her to a tea stall by the river and ordered some of the most famous snacks here.

"Husband, why do you want the stall owner to be such a sugar man?"

Xiao Zhen kept looking at the sugar man in his hand, and looked at it over and over for a long time, but the smiling face when he first got the sugar man was gone, but he felt a little sad.

"What's wrong? Don't like it? ”

"I don't like it, because I ...... I don't want to eat it. ”

knew that Xiao Yu didn't really hate it, but the moment she heard her say she didn't like it, Xiao Yu's heart really skipped a beat.

"We are not allowed to be left, so we will never be separated."

As he spoke, the food had already been served, and the most eye-catching thing in the table was the rose sweet cake like a lotus.

They have their own pedicles, but they are connected to the same stem, they are all an integral part of each other's lives, and they will never leave each other from life to death.

Each stall prepares a similar snack for each couple, which is the best wish for each couple on this special day.

The snacks Xiaoyu ordered were very suitable for Xiaoyu's appetite, and she devoured them as soon as the dishes were served.

Xiaoyu has always been elegant, and seeing her like this amused Xiaoyu.

"Lady, you eat slowly, no one will rob you, don't choke."

"Husband, try it, these are all delicious, and they are different from what we usually eat."

"Well, let's go watch the lion dance after eating in a while."

Xiaoyu said as he found a handkerchief to help Xiaozhen wipe off the sauce that had stuck to the corners of his mouth.

"Yes, yes."

Xiaozhen has been looking forward to the lion dance performance for a long time, and she is naturally happy, while responding, she has given Xiaoyu all kinds of dishes, she has tasted every dish, but Xiaoyu hasn't eaten much, just keeps chattering.

As night fell, the lanterns on the main street were lit up, and Chinese New Year's Eve was still a few hours away, but the fiery red light already reflected the joy and joy that would prevail at that time.

The square in front of the bell tower is more lively than during the day, with performances already underway, and a procession of floats and dragon and lion dances lining up the main street.

Originally, it had to be so lively on Chinese New Year's Eve, perhaps because of this Valentine's Day, the warriors of the three realms who came to Chang'an to pray for blessings today have been endless, and the businessmen are naturally busy in advance.

If it weren't for the early greeting with the bell tower guards, I would have had to go to the street at this time.

The bell tower is located in the center of Chang'an City, from here, the majestic and magnificent palace city, criss-crossing streets, the prosperity of the entire Chang'an can be seen.

By the time the performers turned around the corner where they could see from the bell tower, they had already finished eating the candy man in their hands.

At this time, the street on the other side was not particularly crowded, and the couple returned to the hotel where they were staying before the performance team went around here.

It is rare for the Chang'an Hotel to be so clean, and most of the people who stay here are foreigners from afar, and they are probably all on the street at this time.

As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper greeted him.

"Why did the two of you come back so early, this float tour, the excitement is still to come."

"Tomorrow we will go to the Divine Wood Forest on the side of the God of War Mountain, and after watching the performance, we will go back, I'm afraid we will have to squeeze until dawn."

"Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, won't the two of you spend the New Year in Chang'an this year?"

"Some friends are going to visit and will be back in a few days."

"That's right, by the way, the two of you might as well go upstairs to the rooftop and sit down, the float can be seen after the post station."

"It's okay, thank you."

The rooftop is not big, and there are a few small tables, although it is not as good as the bell tower, but it is also a good place to watch the view.

As soon as the two sat down, the shopkeeper brought a pot of tea and two small snacks.

"Tomorrow night Chang'an will set off salute fireworks, but unfortunately we will leave early tomorrow morning."

Xiao Zhen looked at the lively lights of Chang'an City, a little reluctant.

"The two of you come and go in a hurry every time, if you are free, you should really take a good look at the fireworks on Chinese New Year's Eve in Chang'an, but it is beautiful."

"When does the fireworks start?"

"When you get close to the son, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and every family must keep the New Year."

"That should be in time, the Shenmu Forest is not too far away, I bother the second brother and the boss to inform us and leave a room for us."

Xiaoyu said, and handed some silver to the shopkeeper.

"Master Xie, if there are no other instructions, I will go and get busy first."

It was time for the parade to end, but the streets were still noisy, and it was not until the middle of the night that they finally cleared up.
