Chapter 163: Night Market, Fireworks
At the time of the unitary period, the crowd in front of the Li family's stall gradually decreased a lot.
There was still warm bone broth in the iron pot, Zhao Yinyan took the opportunity to grab a few handfuls of vermicelli and cook them, and poured the warm bone broth on them by the way.
Sprinkle with chopped green onions, coriander, and bowls of hot hot and sour noodles are ready.
Seeing this, Li asked Liu to hurry away.
called Zhao Yu on the side and asked him to tell Zhao Dongmei and the others to hurry up and eat while they were not busy.
"You eat first, eat enough, and then stare around," After explaining the matter, Li took Liu to continue to be busy.
Even if there are many fewer people than before, there are still people lined up in front of the stalls, and they can't all leave it alone.
After Zhao Yu and the others finished eating the hot and sour noodles, Li asked several adults to take turns to change shifts, and they all ate well, and the sky gradually darkened.
Li called Zhao Shanyu and asked him to quickly take out the two lanterns on the cart and hang them up.
As the wicks of the two lanterns were lit and hung, the originally dark surroundings became brighter.
Not only their stalls, but also other stalls around them began to be lit up as bright as day.
As beautiful lanterns were hung up, a completely different scenery from the daytime was revealed.
On the streets, older people are no longer common, and more young people are pouring into the streets.
Especially those young men and women, talking and laughing, with affection in their eyes.
Zhao Yu stared at the pair of young men and women on both sides of the street, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Before she could finish sighing, Li called her directly, "Erya, Erya"
"Milk, what's the matter?" Zhao Yu turned her head and looked at her milk.
Li glanced at the brightly lit street outside, pursed his lips and said, "You, do you want to go out for a walk?" β
Well?
Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then looked at Li's expression carefully, and was speechless for a while, "Milk, will you let me out?" β
Her milk, what's the change?
Before she and Zhao Xia ran out, her milk was free in the afternoon, but she didn't miss her, even if she took out all the pastries and snacks she brought back, it was useless.
Right now, her grandmother actually asked her if she wanted to go out for a walk?
Could it be?
Before Zhao Yu could finish his work, Li's sentence of "Of course not" directly cut off Zhao Yu's imagination.
Zhao Yu rolled her eyes, and said in her heart that her milk was really, and she asked if she couldn't do it.
"However," Li touched his chin, pointed to Zhao Shanyu on the side, called Zhao Yu to his side, and whispered, "Your uncle is going out, my milk is not at ease, when you go out later, don't forget to keep an eye on your uncle." β
Well, is this for her to stalk?
"Milk, is there a situation with the uncle?" Zhao Yu covered his mouth, and while talking, he didn't forget to look at Zhao Shanyu who was unaware not far away.
Li hurriedly waved his hand, "Go, go, what's the situation," frowned, didn't elaborate, and repeatedly emphasized, "When you go out, just keep an eye on it." β
Zhao Yu suddenly realized, and directly stretched out his hand and gestured, "Don't worry, it's on me," isn't it just staring, she is the best at it.
Li nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you and your uncle will go out in a while, if you have anything to prepare, hurry up and get it, of course, don't delay the business." β
In the end, Li did not forget to remind Zhao Yu that he obviously attached great importance to this matter.
Li thought to herself, anyway, she couldn't stop Zhao Shanyu from going out, and it was not good for her to follow, so she thought about it for a while, Zhao Yu was the most clever among these people in the shop, and it was most suitable to give this job to Zhao Yu.
What can Zhao Yu say, her grandmother handed over the reason, of course she can't miss it.
The result was agreed, and the grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Long lanterns hung on both sides of the stalls, and the flickering light lit up the entire lantern and illuminated the long street in front of you.
On both sides of the long street, the vendors selling food and hanging ornaments are spread out, and when you look up, you can't see the head at all.
Zhao Yu pulled Zhao Shanyu with one hand, carried the small lantern he had just bought in the other, and looked at both sides of the street with big eyes, crystal cakes, fried chestnuts, dried fruit preserves, and sachet pendants......
Of course, the most common ones are still lanterns, and there are many masks.
Walking forward, we came to a clearing with a high platform.
On the high platform, there are all kinds of beautiful lanterns, and under the high platform, many young men and women gather.
"Uncle, where is this?" Zhao Yu raised his head curiously and looked at Zhao Shanyu on the side.
"This is the venue for the lantern riddle held by the prefectural lords, and if you guess the puzzle above, you can bring these beautiful lanterns home."
Although Zhao Shanyu doesn't know much about the temple fair, he still knows some general activities, and at the moment, this high platform is the place where the county magistrate ordered it to be built.
For three consecutive days, some important activities in the temple fair will be held on this high platform.
And the lantern riddle guessing activity in the night market is also a unique activity of the temple fair.
Because readers love to guess lantern riddles, this activity is specially prepared for those who read books in the city.
After all, readers are the most arrogant, and what they love to do most on weekdays is to go against their confidants and recite poems, so around the lantern stalls, there are many readers wearing green shirts and robes.
In addition, there are some men, women and children who come to watch the excitement.
After all, in addition to watching the excitement, you can also see those young people who are brilliant, and there are those who have a lot of thoughts, and they will even choose good young people from here to choose a son-in-law for their daughters.
In short, guessing lantern riddles is very lively.
Zhao Shanyu was worried about something, so he didn't stay here for long, so Zhao Yu didn't want to join in the excitement.
The uncle and nephew walked around the high platform in front of them and continued to walk forward.
Walking up a long wooden bridge, under which was a slender river, beside which many young men and women sat or stood.
There are few lanterns hanging here, and the light does not shine very much, so there are not a few men and women who tell each other their heartfelt feelings, among them, Zhao Yu also saw a lot of interactions that have exceeded the scale.
Zhao Yu......
Zhao Yu is like a scumbag jumping into the melon field, the picture in front of him is very interesting, I just think that this is also beautiful and that is wonderful, not to mention the dazzle, and I can't wait for myself to have a few more eyes.
Zhao Shanyu next to him felt funny, noticed that someone was looking at them, and quickly pulled Zhao Yu away.
"Uncle, what are you pulling me for?" Zhao Yu was still a little unhappy, she hadn't finished reading it yet.
Zhao Shanyu led Zhao Yu to a stall selling flower cakes, and stuffed a piece of flower cake into Zhao Yu's mouth.
Counting what was in Zhao Yu's mouth, Zhao Shanyu spent money to buy a few pieces and pack them away.
"Let's go, Uncle will take you to see more interesting things," Zhao Shanyu smiled and pulled Zhao Yu forward.
Zhao Yu was helpless, and while holding the flower cake that was still half of the food left, he was dragged forward by Zhao Shanyu.
Zhao Shanyu still has a conscience, and bought a sweet soup for Zhao Yu on the way, so as not to choke Zhao Yu with the flower cake too dry.
Zhao Yu finished drinking the sweet soup and didn't forget to lick his lips, "I didn't expect the sweet soup to be so delicious, I'll try it when I go back." β
The people of this dynasty love to eat something sweet.
So just now, the shop where Zhao Yu sold sweet soup gathered a circle of people, all of whom bought sweet soup to drink.
continued to walk for a long time, but still didn't see anything, Zhao Yu finally couldn't bear it, and hurriedly asked Zhao Shanyu on the side,
"Uncle, didn't you say there was something more interesting? Where is it? "She didn't see anything.
Zhao Shanyu smiled, "What's the hurry, I haven't arrived yet,"
After speaking, he pulled Zhao Yu and continued to move forward.
Zhao Yu......
Okay.
Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Shanyu's back, and said in his heart that if he couldn't see it yet, hmph, wait for her to go back and make a small report.
didn't walk long, Zhao Shanyu led her directly up a high slope.
The slope was flat, and there were quite a few people, all of whom looked like they had come early.
It was late, and there was not much good place left in front of the slope.
Zhao Shanyu casually found an open space and let go of Zhao Yu's little hand, "Okay, this is it, the time is coming soon, you just wait honestly,"
"By the way, Uncle still has other matters, come back immediately, you wait here first, don't wander around......"
Before the words fell, Zhao Shanyu ran away from the figure.
Zhao Yu's words blocked in his throat didn't come out, so he had to let out a long sigh, this person, she was really tired.
"Knock βββ"
The sound of the bell rang out, and the time was already halfway through the unitary hour.
Bangβββ
A beautiful firework explodes straight from the sky.
Zhao Yu turned his head, and half of his small face flickered in the night.
"Dad, mother, look at it, it's fireworks just now,"
"Fireworks, fireworks, finally fireworks,"
"Wow, what a beautiful firework, it's so beautiful,"
ββ¦β¦β
Around, the noisy noise reached Zhao Yu's ears, and everyone's faces were full of laughter.
Overhead, brilliant fireworks burst into the night sky, which was very beautiful.
Zhao Yu looked at it in a daze, shocked by the scene in front of him.
