After the meal, the adults chatted and talked, but the children couldn't sit still, especially from the window on the second floor, they could see the lively East Street below.

Seeing the noisy children, Shen Xiangmiao opened her mouth and said, "I'll take my younger brothers and sisters down for a look and look at the lanterns." ”

In front of the doors of each shop outside, there are a lot of various lanterns to attract people's attention, as well as lanterns for guessing lantern riddles, and there are a lot of snacks of all kinds.

"There are a lot of people out there, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Yang looked at the people coming and going outside, and was very worried: "Every year, when this big festival is lively, there are more flowers, and there are many children in our family, so don't go wrong." ”

"It should be fine, Xiangmiao, Wen Tao, and Wenwu are all three adults, Qiaohui and Tie Dan are not small, it shouldn't be a big deal, it's really not good, I'll follow a few of them, you can talk here for a while." Shen Fuhai said with a smile.

With such an adult, there is nothing wrong with that.

Shen Shuntong and the Yang family let people out, but they didn't forget to tell them to be more careful and grab the hands of adults.

Shen Fuhai, Shen Xiangmiao and others responded and went out happily.

The street is indeed lively, all kinds of lanterns, all kinds of vendors, selling pastries, selling wontons, selling steamed buns, selling noodles, selling all kinds of pear paste, fruit sticks, and the most rare are those candy blowers, dough pinching people, making sugar paintings, in front of the stalls surrounded by a circle of children, looking intently at all kinds of strange shapes.

Tie Dan and Qiaohui looked at the sugar painting very rarely, and Shen Wentao and Shen Wenwu looked at the bluestone slab with a few bamboo skewers, the old man boiled the slurry sugar in the small pot in his hand, and the syrup line of uniform thickness quickly gathered into a painting on the bluestone slab, and after it cooled a little, he took a knife and shoveled it gently, and picked up the bamboo stick steadily and slowly, and a sugar painting was picked up from the bluestone slab, and a vivid rabbit pattern appeared in front of everyone.

"I want, I want." The children around them couldn't wait to reach out and get it.

The old man smiled and said, "This rabbit-like one costs twenty yuan, and the tiger's one costs thirty yuan." ”

Twenty dollars, thirty dollars......

A meat pot helmet is only a few dollars, a pound of braised pig's head meat is only how much, this sugar painting that can't do anything, it is so expensive, it is better to go to Meng Ji pastry shop to buy some pot helmets or pastries to eat, even if it is a slightly expensive edible rice ball, it is better than this sugar painting that can't eat anything.

When everyone heard this, they all frowned and felt that this sugar painting was expensive and a little worthless.

But there are also a few generous ones who paid for their children to buy, and most of them took their children away while coaxing their children to buy things on the side.

Some of them are a little sensible, they are clear, or they are alive, but they are all coaxed, and they go away happily with the adults, and naturally there are some who want to paint sugar, and they are reluctant to go in vain, crying and making trouble, and the final result is that the adults with a bigger temper ignore the child's crying, pull and leave, and the soft-hearted one picks the cheapest to buy, and coaxes the child to leave quickly.

The children were almost coaxed away, and the stall in front of the candy painting was left with only the most expensive tigers, birds, and horses.

"Pick what you want." Only then did Shen Xiangmiao speak.

The old man who sold sugar paintings glanced at Shen Xiangmiao and the children around him who were not noisy or noisy, and immediately laughed and gave Shen Xiangmiao a thumbs up: "This girl is really sensible." ”

I didn't say to buy it when the children were crying, but when everyone was almost gone, I opened my mouth to buy it, so as not to let those children cry more because others could buy it, but they couldn't buy it.

And these younger brothers and sisters around her are obviously very obedient, at this time they are carefully looking at what they like, discussing one or two in a low voice, and when they finally decide on the style to choose, they don't reach out to take it, just say what they want.

Shen Xiangmiao listened to the compliment, pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

The four of them discussed it, and finally determined that Wen Tao wanted a cow, Wen Wu wanted a horse, and Tie Dan wanted a tiger, and Qiaohui fell in love with a lark.

After listening to their selection, the old man gave the freshly made sugar paintings to the four of them in turn, Shen Xiangmiao counted the money and gave it to the old man, and then beckoned the four people to leave, but the old man suddenly shouted:

"I like such a sensible child and old man, you wait a minute, I will paint you a peony flower again, and give it to your sister."

After saying that, the old man smiled again and said, "This is a gift from my old man, don't want money, if you don't accept it, girl, you will dislike my old man." ”

"Where, thank you, uncle." Shen Xiangmiao thanked her in a row, and beckoned her four younger brothers and sisters to wait on the side.

And these four people are also very rare for sugar paintings, and they all look at them with bated breath.

Watching the old man shovel down the huge peony flower from the bluestone slab, he was shocked and let out a "wow" exclamation.

"Girl, here you go." The old man handed the sugar painting to Shen Xiangmiao, and Shen Xiangmiao couldn't help but be amazed when she saw it.

The layers of petals, branches and leaves are painted very carefully and vividly, and it is really a great skill to be able to hold a small pot and pour such a picture with syrup.

"Thank you, uncle." Shen Xiangmiao thanked her repeatedly, took the candy painting, and beckoned the others to find Shen Fuhai, who helped the children buy noodles.

But before he left the candy painting stall, he was suddenly dragged by someone.

Shen Xiangmiao was startled, looked down and saw a boy who looked like seven or eight years old, dragging her clothes with one hand, and quickly snatching the peony flower candy painting in Shen Xiangmiao's hand with the other hand, and then smiled and said: "This peony flower candy painting is really good-looking, go back to Sister Pearl, she must be very happy." ”

So saying, he turned and left.

If you take something and leave, what does that mean?

Even if the other party was a child, Shen Xiangmiao felt that this matter could not be so vague, so she reached out and grabbed the boy's arm: "This is my sugar painting, you give it back to me." ”

"It's a nuisance." The boy squinted at Shen Xiangmiao, untied his purse from his waist, and threw it on Shen Xiangmiao's body: "There are hundreds of dollars here, enough for this sugar painting." ”

"Besides, I also saw that this sugar painting was given to you by someone else, and I didn't ask for money, you can be regarded as having earned these hundreds of dollars for nothing."
