Letting the two giants starve in the bamboo house, Yu Sheng led people to Yangzhou two days ago.
Mao Maola's donkey cart was in front, the thunder cart was behind, and there was a brontosaurus flapping its wings above its head. The group was very lively and disturbed many monsters.
Many monsters and beasts fled upon hearing the news, and even lured their minions out.
He was holding half a fan of bison meat in his hand, with the skin still intact. After seeing Yu Sheng, he raised the knife and dropped it, leaving half of it for them.
This made Yu Sheng feel a little embarrassed, so he gave the accomplice a basket of Queen Mother cakes.
The harem tasted it, gave Yu Sheng a thumbs up with satisfaction, and then headed towards the forest again.
The heavy snow is still falling, but it cannot cover up the atmosphere of the approaching New Year at all. Before entering the city, the excitement outside the city has already overwhelmed everyone.
There were many people lining up to enter the city to buy and sell New Year's goods. There was a long queue in front of the city gate early in the morning, with baskets containing New Year's goods prepared by the people themselves.
Some even couldn't wait to enter the city, and started trading under the city wall, bargaining happily, with their faces glowing red and not feeling cold at all.
At the end of the team, Yu Sheng also saw an acquaintance, the one from Maomao's family, who was pulling his master. There were many lanterns made by the uncle himself on the car.
"Hey, uncle, why are you bringing so many lanterns?" Yu Sheng said as he lifted the curtain. As soon as Maomao saw his wife, she couldn't leave and was rubbing her hair together.
The uncle smiled and said, "The city lord is going to hold a lantern festival in the city the night after tomorrow. I happen to have such a skill, so I made some up to exchange for some money."
In fact, when the time comes, the four major businesses, the Witch Academy, the Monster Hunting Department, the Ghost Hunting Department, and the major merchants will all put out lanterns to form a lantern dragon and circle the city all night.
He had to prepare for the rest of his life as the shopkeeper of Zhaixinglou, so he jumped out of the car and said, "Really, let me see the lantern you made."
The uncle made way for a seat, and Yu Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
Different from round or square lanterns, uncle's lanterns are made of bamboo and turned into various shapes, including common poultry such as pigs, cows and sheep.
There are also common wild beasts such as foxes, tigers, and wolves, as well as rat demons with seals, chiseled teeth, and mustaches.
"The craftsmanship is really good." Yu Sheng looked through them and picked them up. I was happy to see them all, and in the end I didn't know what to choose.
"Well," Yu Sheng simply stopped, "Uncle, how about you help me make a few lanterns, and I'll pay a big price."
The old man was flattered and said, "No, no, no need. It's a big price. It's the old man's good fortune to be able to make lamps for the city lord and the young master."
After Maomao fell in love with his donkey, Yu Sheng first gave him money as a betrothal gift, and then Maomao also gave food, drinks and money when he went there every now and then.
Not only that, but now the old man's status in the town is no longer ordinary. People come to him if they have any problems. Everyone knows that his family has a donkey son-in-law who is very humane.
Some time ago, due to the drought in autumn, the family's food harvest failed. It was Maomao who helped, um, directly stole the food from the inn.
Because what he stole was not money, Yu Sheng didn't feel any distress at all. After Ye Gao converted a bag of grain into how much it cost, Yu Shengcai cursed him with a "white-eyed donkey".
However, it is a male's instinct to show off his strength in front of females. Since the female donkey is pregnant, he will not pursue it for the rest of his life.
"Hey, you still have to pay." Yu Sheng said, "No matter how lucky you are, you still have to buy more good things for your wife, Maomao, to supplement her nutrition."
These are polite words. In fact, since the little female donkey was pregnant, Maomao, the grandson, has often stolen the good fodder and feed provided by the inn.
Yu Sheng insisted on giving money, but the uncle couldn't resist and said with a smile: "How about you write a couplet for me?"
"No problem." Yu Sheng patted his chest, "But you still have to pay. A pair of couplets is not worth much."
Seeing that Yu Sheng couldn't help but say it, the uncle reluctantly agreed.
However, there was some murmuring in his mind. It was rumored that Leader Yu valued wealth as much as his life, and a pair of couplets cost a lot of money.
Now it seems that the rumors cannot be believed.
Yu Sheng then waved to the back, signaling Fu Nan, who had now become a full-time driver of Lei Che, to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, the cat-faced monster, Monk Hai, led by the little monster who thought he had arrived, jumped out of the car, followed by Gouzi, the little white fox and two cats.
The little monster was a little impatient with the croak in his hand, so he opened his mouth and vomited out the two giants who were so hungry and weak.
However, these were not enough to arouse people's admiration. The long queues all looked at each other and said: "Oh, this dog is really ugly."
"Ouch", the dog barked at everyone, then raised his head arrogantly and ignored everyone.
I don't blame everyone, so I ignored them for the rest of my life, and just pointed to the uncle, "Uncle, look, help me make some lanterns according to their patterns."
"Hey, that's a good idea." Monk Hai's eyes lit up, and the cat-faced monster nodded, "Yes, yes, don't forget Miss Bai."
"Ms. Bai?" Because I have the rest of my life on my side, the uncle is not very afraid of these monsters, but he is a little confused about making a lantern for a girl.
"Miss Bai is a white cat." Yu Sheng said.
Because Yu Shiyu was sitting in the carriage with the city lord and did not come out, Yu Sheng pointed at the two cats trying to jump onto the donkey carriage, "Just like them."
"Meow~" A protest came from the carriage, and the cat-faced monster said displeasedly: "It's the same, not the same at all, okay?"
"Go, go, go." Yu Sheng drove them away and pointed at the giant, "These two lanterns should be big, and they will be placed at the entrance of the Star-Zhaing Tower."
The uncle measured the two giants up and down, and it would be a good idea to place two of these lamps in front of the door.
Yu Sheng pointed to the thunder dragon in the sky again, "I want this too."
"By the way", Yu Sheng remembered, "Uncle, have you ever seen a dragon?"
The old man shook his head violently, and the black girl got out of the carriage, "I will change it now and show it to you. It must be lifelike."
"Oh yes, there is another dragon here." Yu Sheng remembered Hei Niu, "Then there are two dragons, one black and one golden."
"Remember especially," Yu Sheng reminded the uncle, "the golden one must be more beautiful than the black one, bigger than the black one, more powerful than the black one, and better than the black one..."
"Why?" The black girl was unhappy. They were both dragons, so why was there such a big gap?
"The other one is my mother's real body." Yu Sheng turned around and said.
"Oh, that must be much more powerful than me." Hei Niu immediately changed her mind. The gap between dragons is just that big.
"Ang, ang", Maomao shouted at this time.
"Yes, yes, there are two donkeys." Yu Sheng pointed to Maomao and the uncle's little female donkey.
"There is also a grass lantern, which is in the shape of grass blades, and a willow lantern." Jian Cao'er stood on the thunder cart and waved, and Yu Sheng was busy adding more.
"There are a lot of things. Will the uncle have enough time in these two days?" Only then did Yu Sheng have time to ask the uncle.
"If this cart of lanterns is going to be sold smoothly, I will find a few old guys to help. There will be enough time." The uncle said.
"It doesn't matter. I will help you sell lamps when you go to town later." Yu Sheng waved his hand, seeing that the uncle still looked embarrassed, "What's wrong?" he asked.
The uncle pointed at the dog and said, "It's easy to talk about other things, but this dog looks like... I'll try to resemble it as much as possible."
Now Gouzi looked at everyone with disdain and jumped onto the thunder cart.
"It doesn't matter. If you really have no inspiration, just go and look at the statue in front of the city lord's palace, and then you will feel that the dog is pretty good-looking." Yu Sheng said.
"Angang", Maomao, who was rubbing her ears and temples with the little female donkey, raised her head and called twice, nodding her head in agreement with Yu Sheng's words.
