The prince followed them to Huo Fenghuang, and walked to the crowded place before. The injured people had been carried to various medical centers by the people from the yamen, but there were still a lot of people here, but in a short time, people came from all directions.
People filled the vacancies here again, so it became lively again.
Magistrate Tang learned his lesson this time and posted two government officials at each intersection to control the flow of people. If there were too many people, he would stop some and either turn back or wait until someone left before entering again.
But Bai Shan knew the tragic situation here before, especially the two people who were trampled the most. When they were carried out, they could only breathe.
So he has been somewhat silent.
Man Bao noticed that he was not in a high mood, so he slowly fell behind and walked beside him, "What's wrong with you?"
Bai Shan smiled at her, stretched out his hand to hold her hand and walked together, "It's okay, I'm just obsessed with thinking about something."
He knew that Man Bao and the others would have missed it if they went out early. Things had already happened. He would let her have a good Mid-Autumn Festival tonight and let's talk about it tomorrow.
Man Bao glanced at him twice, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he shook his hand and moved forward.
The lamp holder and the fire phoenix at the inner city gate were made by the Ministry of Industry. The lanterns on the wings can also rotate. Because the colors of the lanterns are different and very layered, when they rotate, it feels like they are spreading their wings and flying high. It is special.
nice.
Not to mention country bumpkins like Man Bao and the others, even Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu were dumbfounded and exclaimed: "It doesn't look obvious from the palace, but here, it's so beautiful."
The prince couldn't help but nodded.
Bai Shan, who was in a heavy mood, also stared at it for a long time.
There is a large open space under the fire phoenix and the lamp holder. No stalls can be set up here, and there are soldiers guarding it. It is only for tourists to enjoy. After seeing it, everyone walked around in the direction of the crowd and returned to the main street. However, they followed
The place they entered just now was different.
It seems that the county government has divided the road in advance to prevent people from walking around.
And swimming out from the Fire Phoenix is a series of lamp sheds.
There are many lanterns hanging on the lantern shed. Some of the lanterns have riddles on them, and those who guess correctly will be rewarded.
For families like the Bai family and the Yin family, the prizes for their lantern sheds are lanterns for lantern riddles and a package of gifts. The gifts include blessing rice and blessing cakes, you can choose one of them.
In addition to the large families who will set up lantern sheds here to have fun with the people and pray for their families, there are also major shops.
Jishitang also set up a lamp shed here, and the gifts were some wrapped medicines, which were also very popular.
But Man Bao and the others did not visit the lamp shed at Jishi Hall, but specifically aimed at the lamp shed at the dim sum shop.
The lighthouse of the pastry shop not only has prizes, but also products. It doesn’t matter if you can’t guess the riddle, just spend money to buy them.
Manbao and the others squeezed to the front and found that there were only a dozen lanterns hanging on them, and they were all difficult lantern riddles.
Several people were whispering together, "Beauty is more important than pretty? What is this?"
Man Bao also scratched his head and asked the most knowledgeable prince among them, "Your Highness, do you know?"
Prince: "...Does Gu Gu look like someone who knows?"
Ask him what's wrong, ask him what he wrote?
Man Bao said: "But aren't you the one who has eaten the most snacks among us?"
The prince glanced at her, and while still holding the money bag in his hand, he swung it around his fingers and said, "Want to eat? Just buy it."
For him, why bother thinking about something that can be bought with money?
Bai Shan said thoughtfully: "Is it Xue Mei Niang?"
When the stall owner who was buying snacks and collecting money heard this, he raised his head, glanced at Bai Shan and said with a smile: "Why did this man say he is Xue Mei Niang?"
When Bai Shan heard him ask this question, he knew that he had guessed it right. He smiled and said: "The word "beautiful" should be "mei". This whole sentence sounds like a delicate and pretty woman, so I guessed it is "Xue Mei Niang".
, I don’t know if my guess is right?”
"That's right," he said with a smile, "Originally, this riddle shouldn't have been made like this. It's just that my boy was naughty and said that people could guess the riddle I made, so he wrote this one casually. Unexpectedly, Mr.
You can actually guess it."
Chang Yu and the others had a bad premonition, "The remaining ten or so lanterns are not all mysteries created by your son, are they?"
The stall owner nodded sheepishly, "Yes, so in fact, the snacks left behind are all common. People can tell the mystery at a glance, so my son changed it."
He said this, but everyone still guessed it with great interest.
But the person who asked the questions obviously wanted to deliberately embarrass people. Sometimes the riddles they asked were only slightly related to the answers, making them particularly difficult to guess.
Bai Shan and Man Bao read the most and racked their brains before they came up with another one. Ming Da and Bai Er could also think of it, and even the prince could chime in. Only Chang Yu could even ask where the word they said came from.
, but she had no idea which book that sentence came from.
Who reads a book and memorizes the sentences in it? Shouldn’t they forget it after putting down the book?
Why bother remembering which book it comes from?
She stared at the lantern riddles above and simply started to recite the names of the snacks she knew, "Osmanthus cake, jade bean cake, chestnut cake, two-color bean cake, bean paste roll, golden cake roll, lotus seed cake..."
The stall owner was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but say "ouch" and quickly stopped him, "Little lady, that's not the answer to the riddle."
He said dumbfounded: "If everyone guesses like you do, these lantern riddles won't trouble anyone. Even though there are new products in my store, most of the dim sum names are already known to everyone."
Ming Da and the others couldn't help but purse their lips in amusement, so they simply stopped guessing and asked the store owner to give them the Snow Meiniang and walnut cake they guessed.
The stall owner breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took down the two lanterns they guessed and gave them to them. Then he took out two boxes and gave them to them. He smiled and said: "They are all fresh snacks made today, but they are a little not hot.
, Fortunately, Xue Mei Niang can eat it cold, and the ladies and gentlemen can have a taste."
A box of snacks is not much. After all, it is just for good luck. There are only six.
Man Bao and the others divided it up, and it was just right, so they covered it with their sleeves and took a bite. Not to mention, it was refreshing and cool. Once chewed, it was glutinous, sweet, and quite delicious.
Man Bao liked it very much, and Bai Shan also thought it was good, so he went over to look at the snacks on the stall, "Let's buy some others and go back to try them. Well, do you have any new styles of mooncakes this year?"
"Yes, sir, please look at this box of mooncakes. There are egg yolks inside."
Chang Yu said: "I ate egg yolk last year, and I also ate venison."
Stall owner: ...That’s not comparable. Who can afford to use venison to make mooncakes?
He said: "The egg yolk in my moon cake is double."
Everyone took a look at the mooncake, which was as big as a disk, and wondered if it was so big that we couldn’t fit two into it?
Bai Shan said: "Buy one."
It just so happens that after a while, one person will cut it and eat it together, which can be regarded as a celebration of reunion.
