Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!

Bai Susu got a new horse, and he really rode and played for a while, until he walked around the Zhuangzi, and the day was getting colder and colder day by day.

After entering Layue, Lu Zhiyuan picked a day to take her out for a walk, saying that he was going to a place called Lantern Town.

As the name suggests, Lantern Town is famous for making lanterns, and basically all the lanterns you can see on the market are from Lantern Town, and every household in this town makes lanterns for a living. Because this is a skill that the people rely on to survive, the Lantern Festival is held on the 16th day of the lunar month every year.

Originally, the Lantern Festival was just a spontaneous activity of the local villagers, who made lanterns and hung them at the door to pray for peace and prosperity in the coming year. Gradually, it attracted a lot of tourists, and later this day was simply set as the Lantern Festival, and a large number of tourists would gather in Lantern Town every year.

Bai Susu had been to the Lantern Festival before, thinking that the lanterns in Lantern Town were just ordinary lantern festivals, and there were not many surprises, after all, it would be cold, and she didn't want to go out at all.

Lu Zhiyuan saw her lack of interest, and he didn't break it.

It takes half a day to walk from Zhuangzi to Lantern Town, and they went out after lunch, and it was just dark not long after they arrived in Lantern Town, which happened to be the best time to enjoy the lanterns.

The carriage stopped at the city gate, and Bai Susu was shocked by the scene in front of him as soon as he got out of the car.

As far as the eye can see, countless lanterns, of all kinds, hang all over the town, illuminating the night sky of the town as bright as day.

"Oh my God, so many lanterns." She had never seen so many lanterns in her life, it seemed that there were thousands, no, there should be tens of thousands.

"Otherwise, why is it called Lantern Town? There is a folk saying that you don't look at the lights after Lantern Town. It means that after seeing the lanterns here, the lanterns in other places will not be visible. Lu Zhiyuan took a cloak out of the carriage and put it on her, and then said softly, "It's cold at night, don't freeze." ”

Then he took her hand in the palm of his hand and led him into the city.

The city was bustling with people, the streets were lined with lanterns, and the pedestrians on the street were also holding one in their hands, talking as they walked.

"It's even better than the lantern festival in Jinling City." She followed Wei Xuan to see the lantern festival in Jinling City once, and at that time she was dazzled by the colorful lanterns. What she didn't expect was that when she came to this town after a few years, she would see a more lively lantern festival.

"The lantern festival in Jinling City is modeled after the appearance of Lantern Town. Although Jinling City is large, it is not as lively and prosperous as here. Lu Zhiyuan said to her as he walked.

Naturally, there are places to eat, drink and have fun where there are many people, and they walked for an afternoon, and both of them were a little hungry. Bai Susu pointed to the nearest restaurant to them, "This is good for me to look at, let's go here." ”

Lord Lu's face was a little strange, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything, and the two entered the door.

This time is the time of the meal, but there are obviously not many people in this restaurant, and there are only sporadic tables of guests eating in the whole house.

Because there were few people, they didn't want a private room upstairs, so they randomly picked a location near the window, and they could enjoy the lights while eating.

Xiao Er took the menu card and reported the name of the dish to them.

Chicken, duck and fish, fried stew, all kinds of people don't know how to choose for a while.

"We don't know how to choose if you report like this, so why don't you introduce a few special dishes." Bai Susu said.

Xiao Er smiled and picked out a few dishes, pointed to the above dishes and introduced, "These are the specialties of our store, is it the first time for the two guest officers to come to Lantern Town, if it is the first time to come, I recommend that the two of you come to two special stir-fry, meat dishes with a lantern elbow, dessert to eat glutinous rice lotus, wine to drink our home-brewed rice wine, the most is the next meal and very distinctive." ”

"What is a lantern elbow, I've never heard of it before." Bai Susu said curiously.

Xiao Er waited for her to ask, which would naturally be explained with a smile, "Speaking of this lantern elbow, there is also an interesting rumor." Back then, there was an old man surnamed Zhu in our town, and Master Zhu had a daughter who fell in love with a poor Xiucai named Lantern.

This marriage between the poor and the rich, Master Zhu naturally disagreed, he saw that the poor Xiucai came to the door for the first time with two pig's trotters, so he was displeased, so he wanted to make it difficult for this poor Xiucai.

So after the dishes were served, Master Zhu pointed to the two pig's trotters of poor Xiucai and asked, "What are you carrying, why don't I know it?" ”

Poor Xiucai's brain is not stupid, he naturally thought that Master Zhu would not know pig's trotters, so it must be a complete set to ask, so he thought about it and replied, "I have never seen this thing since I was a child." Master Zhu, you are well-informed, it is better to solve your doubts. ”

Master Zhu was angry in his heart, thinking that this poor Xiucai was not only poor but also bad, he thought that the poor Xiucai was called a lantern, so he said casually, "This thing is called a lantern elbow." ”

The homonym of the lantern elbow is the lantern walking, which means that the poor show should get out of the house quickly.

At that time, Poor Xiucai also understood Master Zhu's eviction order, and after he left the Zhu family, he worked hard.

Miss Zhu is deeply affectionate, because of Master Zhu's opposition, although she does not dare to disobey her father's orders, she has been secretly funding poor Xiucai, and poor Xiucai is also angry, and three years later, she won a high school champion in the imperial examination.

Poor Xiucai became the champion, and the scenery returned to his hometown.

Miss Zhu set the pressure for three years, originally thinking that a better day was finally coming, but what no one expected was that it was not Feng Guanxia who was waiting for her, but the news of the engagement between the champion and the daughter of Taifu.

The new champion didn't want to be known to be poor under the fence in the past, and once he got his will, he assassinated Master Zhu in many ways, and the Zhu family was ruined, and Master Zhu was angry and died, and Miss Zhu became a woman with nothing overnight from a young lady in a big family.

Miss Zhu is also a strong person, and after the decline of the Zhu family, she grew up rapidly. She has a craft of making elbows, because she was poor and talented, and Miss Zhu felt sorry for him, so she often brought him the prepared elbows to eat.

Miss Zhu's elbow business was taken care of by the neighbors in the neighborhood at the beginning, and the neighbors knew about her past with poor Xiucai, and felt that she was very pitiful as a lonely woman, so they would buy an elbow to eat every once in a while. At first, it was because I pitied her, but later I really liked the taste. Miss Zhu's elbow stewed softly, with plenty of ingredients, and put it in the pot the night before and began to stew, so the flavor was so strong that even an eighty-year-old lady could bite it, and it soon became famous in the neighborhood.

Someone asked Miss Zhu what the name of this elbow was, and she remembered the conversation between Master Zhu and Poor Xiucai, so she called it Lantern Elbow.

The fame of the lantern elbow spread farther and farther, and I don't know how it spread to the champion mansion in the capital, and the poor Xiucai, who had married a beautiful wife, heard this name, and immediately remembered that he was humiliated by Master Zhu back then, and heard that Miss Zhu was selling lantern elbows, and suddenly became angry.

Poor Xiucai sent someone to Lantern Town to arrest Miss Zhu, opened her stall, and took her to the capital.

In the end, there was no evil retribution, and no one saved Miss Zhu, and Miss Zhu died.

After Ms. Zhu's death, someone found a recipe when she was packing up at her house, and it was written on how to make a lantern elbow.

The people of Lantern Town hated Poor Xiucai's ingratitude, and there was no way to punish him, so everyone spontaneously made elbows according to the method recorded in the recipe.

Poor Xiucai originally thought that no one would know about those things if Miss Zhu was eradicated, but who knew that overnight, every household in Lantern Town ate lantern elbows, and he was so angry that he fell ill.

Later, the lantern elbow has been passed down from generation to generation, and now I don't know how many years have passed, and now the rumors of the year are no longer known to be true or false, but this lantern elbow has become a dish that every household in Lantern Town will make, and it is also a necessary dish for banquets.

Xiao Er told a story with ups and downs, and deliberately paused to hook the nature of people at every critical time, Bai Susu's appetite was really high, and the elbow who didn't want to eat much was full of interest after listening to the story.

The last dishes to order are the ones recommended by Xiao Er, Lord Lu has never been picky about food, and he basically has no problem with what Bai Susu likes.

When the dishes were served, Bai Susu thought that it would be exquisite dishes, but in fact it was the opposite, there were three dishes on the table, two dishes, one pickle and one fried wild vegetables, and they were made very casually. The elbow is just an ordinary elbow, and it doesn't taste good depending on the appearance.

Bai Susu glanced at Lord Lu, who was silent, and she smiled dryly, "Although some dishes don't look good, they taste really good." ”

Master Lu nodded and handed her chopsticks, "You're right." ”

Bai Susu pursed his lips and had to take chopsticks and taste the dishes one by one, there was indeed no surprise at all, it was difficult to eat, the dishes were just fried, and there was no taste at all.

She sighed, "I think it's normal for these two small stir-fried dishes to taste bad, and since this elbow is a specialty, it must not be wrong." ”

She didn't have the confidence to say this, took a bite with chopsticks, and then said to Lord Lu with a look of surprise, "There is such a delicious thing in this world." ”

Lu Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing, he touched Bai Susu's head, "Don't lie, be honest." ”

Bai Susu pursed her lips and put down her chopsticks with some disappointment, "It's really not good, how did Miss Zhu sell it for silver before." ”

"This story is to deceive a stupid woman like you, this elbow is an ordinary elbow, where is there any miserable Miss Zhu, but it is just a means to use this story to drive guests to buy elbows." Lu Zhiyuan said calmly.

Bai Susu felt that her feelings had been deceived, she was very uncomfortable and a little annoyed, "How can this black-hearted store cheat money with our sympathy." ”

She was just about to call the boss to theorize a few words, when she suddenly remembered something and looked up at the man who was sitting opposite and had been smiling calmly from beginning to end, "How do you know so clearly, haven't you been deceived before?" ”

Lu Zhiyuan coughed, don't look over and said a little uncomfortably, "How is it possible, how can this little trick hide from me." ”

Bai Susu thought that this was right, how powerful Lord Lu was, how could he be deceived, and Lord Lu must not be embarrassed to admit that he had been cheated, so he refused to tell her that this shop tasted bad.

She must have been overthinking.
