When the night gradually darkened, Taiping Town, which was lit up at the beginning of the day, was a little more lively than during the day.

During the day, the streets of Taiping Town are crowded with people, but the shops and food stalls in the town that offer a variety of delicious foods attract many tourists.

And now, even the most delicious gluttons are following the flow of people and flocking to the streets of Taiping Town.

In this Lantern Festival, they specially went to Taiping Town, in addition to eating a stomach of delicious food during the day, they also had to watch a grand Lantern Festival lantern festival on the night of this nightfall.

So soon, the streets of Taiping Town were already crowded with people.

When the sound of the watchman sounded on time, everyone looked eagerly to the east with an extremely expectant look, waiting for the lantern hanging high on the gatehouse at the east end of the town to be lit.

Because as long as the lantern hanging on the gatehouse is lit, it means that the Lantern Festival held in Taiping Town tonight will officially begin.

At this moment, under the gatehouse at the east end of the town, there is a group of residents of Taiping Town.

Of course, it is not an ordinary character who can stand here at this time.

After all, a grand lantern festival will definitely cost a lot of silver, and you have to rely on credit just by going to Xu's wine shop to drink, and Liu Xishui, who has no money left in his pocket, will definitely not be able to do it.

Therefore, it became a matter of course to ask the squires and rich people on the street who were somewhat oily and watery to donate some silver.

In order to accomplish this, Liu Xishui, an old boy, is really open-minded, and goes everywhere to pledge donations, one hundred and eighty yuan is not too little, and one or two hundred taels is not too much.

Of course, if you don't have that financial condition, he won't force you to donate, but at this time, you can only stand at the door of your own house, wait for the two big lanterns hanging on the gatehouse to light up, and then light the lanterns in front of your own house.

As the shopkeeper of Xu's Liquor Shop, Xu Dawei, who pledged to donate 100 taels of silver, naturally stood side by side with Liu Xishui from Taiping Town.

As for Wei Laoxi, the owner of Wei's Rice Shop, who pledged a relatively small amount, he and others could only come second.

In this regard, Wei Laoxi and others were somewhat surprised.

Damn, I think that at the beginning, Xu Dawei, who owed a lot of debts, could only secretly run outside to hide the debts alone.

But the family gave birth to a good son, and the family was ruined, and in a blink of an eye, this down-and-out old boy actually took advantage of his son's east wind to tremble again.

No, even donating a donation, it's a fucking one hundred taels of silver.

Of course, the object of their taste is only limited to Xu Dawei, the old boy who once ruined his family, and these guys still admire the kid of Xu Dawei's family.

In retrospect, that is, more than two years ago, after learning the news of Xu Dawei's disappearance, the kid from the Xu family hurriedly ran back from Canglongmen.

At that time, Xu's liquor store, which had been defeated by Xu Dawei, was so empty that it could run a horse.

As a result, Xu Yang, who was self-made, paid off all the large debts owed by his father in just three months.

That's not all, Xu Yang, this kid, actually passed on his extraordinary cooking skills to Xiaoyu'er who was younger than him.

In the following days, Xiao Yu'er, who got Xu Yang's true inheritance, actually took advantage of Xu Yang's great name to run Xu's liquor store well.

And the reason why they have lived a much more nourishing life than before in the past two years is not because after the business of Xu's liquor store became prosperous, it drove the economic development of the entire Taiping Town, so that they also followed suit.

Otherwise, how could Taiping Town have such a lively scene today?

So after eating, Wei Laoxi opened his mouth and shouted: "Xu family boy, stop grinding, hurry up and light the lamp, if you miss the hour, it doesn't matter if we miss the hour, but the guys in the back who are waiting to see the lights may have to throw rotten eggs at you." ”

"Haha, isn't it, our neighbors won't embarrass you, but those tourists who come to be lively are hard to say......"

At the same time, I saw Liu Xishui turn his face and spray saliva at Xu Yang, who was standing behind him, "You kid don't know what to do, your father wants to go up and light the lamp, but is he worthy?"

Xu Dawei, who was standing next to him lying on the gun, was suddenly overwhelmed with grief and indignation.

Your uncle, does talking still count?

What did you say when you came to pledge?

As long as I donate a hundred taels of silver, let me nod a lamp, that's what you said, right?

And now, you're saying I don't deserve a nod of light?

Of course, even if Xu Dawei was sad and indignant, he couldn't say it.

After all, it was his own son who competed with him for the right to light the first lamp, and this stinky boy was unanimously recognized by the old guys present.

Xu Yang, who didn't plan to be in the limelight, was really forced to be helpless at this time.

These neighbors present were all his uncles and uncles, and his cheap father was also present, so it stands to reason that the right to light the first lamp could not fall on his head.

He had clearly refused before, but these neighbors had to let him go up and light the lamp, and if he refused again, it would be too hypocritical.

In desperation, Xu Yang could only step forward and arch his hand to the surrounding neighbors: "That kid is trespassing!"

Liu Xishui, who was deliberately holding a straight face just now, immediately scolded with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, the auspicious time has arrived, hurry up and light the lights, remember, the three headlights in the middle are lit for me together." ”

Even if he has accepted it, Xu Yang is no longer hypocritical.

The next moment, I saw him take the fire fold from the hand of Xu Dawei, whose face was dark, and then pluck the onion from the dry land, jumped up directly from the spot, hung it on the gatehouse with one hand, and lit the candle hanging in the big lantern in the middle of the gatehouse with the fire fold.

The lit candle lit up instantly, and its light spread out to the surroundings through the layer of lantern paper on the lantern, and the exquisite patterns on the lantern paper were illuminated clearly, showing the unique beauty of the lantern to the world.

"Good!"

A burst of cheers like thunder suddenly rang out from the streets of Taiping Town.

I don't know if these thunderous cheers are for the first lantern to be lit, or for Xu Yang's skills.

Of course, no matter who these cheers are for, the prelude to the Lantern Festival in Taiping Town is slowly opened.

Immediately, Xu Yang, who was hanging on the gatehouse with one hand, bowed down and swung to the side, and then did the same, lighting the two big lanterns hanging on both sides of the gatehouse.
