Chapter 155
Out of the alley into the mainstream, along the Xuanwu River all the way to the north, the whole world becomes alive.
The ice palaces across the river stand on top of the Xuanwu River, and under the light of the fire, it is like the fairy palace descending on the world.
The surface of the river is covered with straw mats for people to walk on, and stalls of all sizes are dotted with the smell of fireworks.
On both sides of the river, in dozens of lanes, bonfires are bright, and men and women are less than four or five in groups, and many are in groups of seven or eight, passing through them.
"I've finally seen the flavor of the New Year!"
Looking at the people around, I don't know, I thought that the people in the entire Tai'an City had come here, of course, this is an illusion, the figures are still sparse, but compared to the more deserted streets outside, the liveliness here is completely different.
"Sir, taste, this thing is rare!" Xiaohu took a handful of skewers from the stall on the side, and stuffed one in.
"What is this?"
Looking at the string of seven or eight, full of smoke and flames, the equation inexplicably felt a kind of nausea.
"Eggs!"
Li Yanting bit off a sheep egg, raised his eyebrows, and said with a satisfied face, "This is a great supplement, it is rare in the market, and it can't be obtained if you don't collect it with your heart!" ”
Looking at the crowd around him who were savoring the delicious taste of sheep eggs, Equation couldn't help but quip, "Your taste is really heavy!" ”
That being said, how could the equation refuse this tempting food.
Not to mention eggs, all kinds of more strange foods than this, I have eaten the equations on the wine table in my previous life, and the deliciousness of sheep eggs is also engraved into my heart.
One bite is broken, the familiarity is just right, and the specially processed sheep eggs, with enough spices, are far more delicious than imagined.
"What is this?"
Raising his head and swallowing what was in his mouth, Li Yanting pointed to the north, "Today's Xuanwu River is not so much a street of celebrations, but a river of strange food, as long as you have the guts, all kinds of baked products are enough to open your eyes, the sheep egg is only the first act, and there are insect feasts, snake feasts, and yam feasts behind!" ”
Everything can be boiled, and everything can be baked.
For the development of grilled goods, the samurai have long been at the forefront of Kyushu's food culture.
"Let's stop gearing, let's go!" After eating the last sheep egg, looking at the crowd that had already formed a line behind him, Xiaohu threw the skewers into the bucket and opened the way to the north.
"Dare to ask, but the equation, Fang Gongzi in person?"
Squeezed out of the crowd, a young man in green clothes with two strong men came out of nowhere, blocking the way of the equation.
Seeing this, the equation nodded slightly, his eyes full of inquiry.
"I am Bowang Hou Mansion, Zhong Gongzi's subordinates often follow Xiaoliu, and now the Shenwu Dabi is still the same, my son-in-law just saw Fang Gongzi and his party, if you are interested, you can follow me into the Shenwu Ice Palace!" Xiao Liu said flatteringly.
For the sake of his future, his son-in-law got out of the command of the equation and paid silently for more than a month.
It is true that a month is not a long time, and domestic servants like them, in order to gain the trust of the master's family, it is not necessary to pay for several years, or even a generation.
Childe bets, there is no response for a month, it is this, continue to wait!
But there is a chance to increase the size and brush your face, why not fight for it?
Guessing the equation and the party, Xiao Liu sent someone to guard the vicinity of the Xuanwu River, but he didn't expect to really bump into it, and he had this invitation after waiting for the Ming Gongzi.
"It's a good idea!" Li Yanting smiled and pointed to the highest, largest and brightest ice palace in the distance, "Every year, the construction of the Shenwu Ice Palace, which does not cost much, can show the means and creativity of the clan, this year it is the turn of the Chenggong Mansion, for an ice palace, the Chenggong Mansion recalled the children of the clan as early as a month ago, mobilized eight hundred people before and after, and spent half a month to pile up this Shenwu Ice Palace covering an area of four acres. ”
"According to the potential rules, the construction of the Ice Palace cannot be completed under the pretense of manpower, it can only be completed by using the hands of the family, and the big family that can build the Ice Palace on the Xuanwu River, the big family with a reputation in Tai'an City, except for the Shenwu Ice Palace, the court will not say anything about it, but the discussion among the people about it can at least continue until the end of the first month!" Xiaohu explained in a low voice.
Warriors are poor, but they still care about face.
How to maintain this face?
A small door and a small household set up a snow house for the gods such as the god of the door, the god of the stove, and the god of fire, and prayed for peace in the coming year.
The merchant and the warrior mobilized their hands to pull the ice bricks from the river and build an ice wall with the street, and the ice was avoided, and the merchants used this to shout and buy, and the warriors took advantage of this to set up a banquet.
The wealthy families of the big families built an ice palace along the river for the people to play in the New Year.
The whole set of processes takes the concept of small cost and big wonder to the extreme, after all, the ice cubes are only a few dollars, and the river can take ice at any time, but all kinds of ice palace construction tricks have already come up with countless variants to this day.
The bigger the family, the more prosperous the family.
In addition, the Ice Palace Igloo can be stored for at least half a month, which is a publicity period, which is enough for every household to earn enough eyeballs.
"The Shenwu Competition, itself is also the most important program today, whether you watch it at the table or watch it at the table, the effect is completely different!" Li Yannian reminded.
The Shenwu Competition, are the highlight of the celebrations over the years, starting from the fifteenth day of the lunar month, from the fifteenth day of the lunar month, to the fifth day of noon, twenty days before and after, to select the strongest group of martial artists among the people.
If it weren't for the limelight taken away by the Ming Dynasty sending troops, all kinds of gossip would have spread all over the streets and alleys of Tai'an City, even if it was piled up at home, it would not be able to escape, after all, everyone would mention it.
Xiao Liu gratefully glanced at a few people around the equation, and immediately added, "This year, Chenggong Mansion has intended to go big, but when the war comes, I have the heart of the palace, and the seats on the table are divided into six classes, and there are two hundred and twelve seats of all kinds, and my son-in-law has left three third-class seats for Mr." ”
Shenwu seats, depending on the size of the ice palace and differentiated, under normal circumstances, the seats are divided into four seats, the first class seats are the best viewing position, the number is also the least, the second class seats, the third class seats, the difference is only in the seat space, four seats are the most.
If it is based on the specifications of the Ice Palace, it indicates the prosperity of the family.
The layout of the seats can reflect the connections between the family and Tai'an City.
"I really have a heart!"
"Huh!"
Hearing this, the Li brothers smiled one after another, so they still don't understand why Shang Zhong is doing this?
The third-class seat is not rare for their brothers, just open their mouths in advance, but the arrangement on the day, Shang Zhong is not the prince of the Marquis of Bowang, and it is impossible not to pay something.
"It's a life!"
Equation smiled, "Lead the way!" ”
Shang Zhong wanted to show his face more in front of him, after all, he didn't show his face much, and he got the friendship.
Friendship, friendship, is to move around more, you come and go more, friendship is steady, but compared to the invitation of the business clock, the equation is more curious about who gave these third-class seats?
The equation is not a social novice, what grade and what seats, the Guogong Mansion should come forward to play a big competition, a Hou Mansion concubine wants to get three vacant seats on the same day, is this possible?
"Please!"
Xiao Liu turned sideways to greet him, he didn't care what the equation thought, all he had to do was bring the equation to the banquet.
