Deep in Peach Blossoms

Chapter 55: Lantern puzzle

Views:

Near the Ping'an Bridge, there was laughter and laughter. The gorgeous lights illuminate the joy on everyone's faces, shining with brilliance. The entire area along Yanhe Road is brightly lit, making the imperial capital look like a country of lights, full of warmth and hope.

At this time, Bai Ling was pulling the candy-pulling rabbit in his hand, while dragging Li He around. In the end, I stopped in front of a small stall selling Lantern Festival.

The sweet aroma, accompanied by a touch of hot mist, hits the nostrils, prompting people to increase their appetite.

Bai Ling was not at all polite. He sat on a table and chairs in the open air and ordered two large bowls of Lantern Festival. And this boss, his hands and feet were also very nimble, and very quickly brought two bowls of Lantern Festival to Bai Ling and Li He.

"Guest officer, take it easy~"

"Okay, thank you!"

Bai Ling rubbed her chopsticks, and couldn't wait to start. And speaking carefully, even he himself didn't know when he actually became a foodie. Before thinking about it, he didn't particularly care about these foods. But since meeting Li He, he seems to be a different person. He especially likes to find delicious food from various places, as if he is a foodie.

In particular, this kind of delicacy, which is endowed with special festival meaning and very pleasing, is simply a perfect match. It has to be said that this has completely captured Bai Ling's heart.

Li He, on the other hand, after ten or twenty years of the Lantern Festival, his joy for glutinous rice balls is not particularly obvious. However, being able to spend this Lantern Festival with Bai Ling is what makes him most happy.

Bai Ling blew on the heat from the Lantern Festival, and took a sip of the soup. A very light taste, with a little taste of glutinous rice balls, poured into the mouth.

Take a bite of the Lantern Festival, and the rich black sesame filling is revealed like bursting pulp. The pure white and soft glutinous glutinous rice balls are wrapped with sweet black sesame filling, giving people an indescribable sense of satisfaction and happiness. In the whole mouth, there is the rich taste of glutinous rice balls, encroaching on Bai Ling's taste buds.

For a person who likes to eat sweets very much, the appearance of this bowl of Lantern Festival can be ranked in the top three of Bailing's food list.

"tasty!!"

Bai Ling's eyes were shining with excitement, looking extremely happy. I don't know how many years have passed, but he doesn't have such delicious food anymore. Unexpectedly, the Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival could satisfy his appetite so much! Especially the soft glutinous skin of the Lantern Festival, and the sweet and greasy sesame sandwich, it is a match made in heaven!

"marvelous!!"

Bai Ling took a few sips, and he ate it all up. After drinking a few sips of soup, he smiled at the boss again: "Boss, have another bowl!"

The boss said with a warm smile: "Okay! Brother over there, have another bowl!"

Not long after, another bowl of steaming Lantern Festival was brought to Bai Ling. As for Bai Ling, he still solved the bowl very quickly.

If it was someone else, he might have been tired of this glutinous rice balls long ago. But Bai Ling was different. All his life, his favorite food was this kind of sweet food.

Bai Ling wiped her mouth, still looking a little unsatisfied...

But after all, there are still many interesting things to do during the Lantern Festival, so we can't patronize eating Lantern Festival anymore.

After the two of them settled the bill, they went to a place where the crowds were denser.

In one place, there are a dazzling array of lanterns, with various poems or words written on them. Many literati and refined scholars gathered in this place, making the surrounding area impenetrable.

It wasn't until the two of them got closer that they realized that this was a place for guessing lantern riddles.

Everyone can buy a lamp here by themselves, and then answer the correct answer according to the questions on the lantern. In this way, you can find the boss to exchange for this lantern, and you will be rewarded accordingly.

When Bai Ling saw it, he became interested again. This kind of feeling is a bit like when he was in Baihualou before, he went to guess and answer the riddles, and wanted to meet Peach Blossom Girl.

This kind of guessing mode with poetry and songs is very elegant, but it is very pleasing.

The two of them got closer again, carefully looking at the poems depicted on the lanterns, to see which one was easier to answer.

"Deaf ears, speechless..."

Bai Ling carefully looked at the relatively delicate and compact lantern in front of him, and thought for a while.

"Turning one's ears to one's ears is deafness, and speaking one's words is one's well..."

"Yeah, I got it!"

Bai Ling smiled, and bought the lantern without saying a word, and then said to the boss: "I don't hear it, I have nothing to say, it's Longjing!"

The very kind and slightly chubby boss replied with a smile: "Yes, sir, you got the answer right! The answer to this question is Longjing! As a reward, this is for you, sir!"

As he said that, the boss took out a small sachet, which was baked and made of exquisite Longjing tea leaves. If you wear it on your body, there will be a fascinating Longjing fragrance from time to time, emanating from the sachet, which is refreshing.

Although this thing is not particularly expensive, it is better than the delicate thought.

Putting the tea fragrance of Longjing into a sachet will neither be said to be rouge vulgar powder nor belittled by others. On the contrary, the unique tea fragrance of Longjing will also add a bit of book atmosphere to the owner who wears the sachet. In this way, it seems that the owner of the sachet is gentle, refined, and knowledgeable.

Whether it is a boy or a lady, it is a good choice.

It's just that, although the thought of this thing has been spent, it is still a bit cheap after all. If compared with those other things, there is still a big distance.

But it’s true, you only need a tael of silver to buy a lantern. If the gift from the boss is too expensive, wouldn't it be worthless

Anyway, it's just a little thought from the boss, it's better to enjoy the fun of answering the questions, that's the key.

Thinking of this, Bai Ling was just about to reach out for it... The boss smiled and took the sachet back.

"Boss, what are you?" Bai Ling asked with some doubts.

The boss smiled and said, "I think you were hesitant just now, my lord. You must not like small things like me."

Bai Ling didn't refute, so it was acquiesced.

Regarding this, the boss was very calm and said with a smile on his face: "Actually, it's not that I don't have good things here. It's just that getting up is more difficult than other small things."

"oh?"

Bai Ling's interest was suddenly maximized by the boss.

"Boss, what other good things do you have here?"

"certainly!"

Some chubby bosses proudly said: "Today, I brought out a finale treasure!" As he said that, the fat boss was not stingy, and generously took the treasure he mentioned. out.

"Dangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdang!! Millennium cold jade pendant!!!"

The boss held the cold jade pendant with great aura. For a moment, everyone around the lantern riddle venue was taken aback.

Everyone stared straight at the crystal clear cold jade pendant that seemed to exude a slight chill.

"Oh my god! It's really a baby!!"

Many people who didn't know the truth were fooled by this fat boss. I thought this cold jade pendant was a real good thing. But anyone with a real discernment can actually see that this cold jade pendant that looks very powerful is actually just a cold jade with a better quality.

If it is that kind of top-quality thousand-year-old cold jade... Hehe...

That was something that even the emperor and his father would treasure. How could someone who made a living selling lantern riddles have such a treasure

Besides, the boss himself knew it very well. This cold jade pendant was just picked up by him occasionally. In terms of quality, it's just average. Put it in a pawnshop, and it's worth at most a dozen taels of silver. If there are any other precious things... there really aren't any.

Now, it would be a good thing for him to use it as a gimmick, as his best way to sell lanterns~

The boss thought about it secretly, and the voice of yelling became louder.

"Come, come, Millennium Cold Jade!! Don't miss it when you pass by!!! Only the winner of the lantern riddles can get it!!!"

The boss is still showing off with the cold jade pendant, trying his best to encourage people around to come and buy his lanterns and guess lantern riddles. But when everyone carefully checked the pendant in the boss's hand, they found that it was not as powerful as imagined.

It was originally a fun and elegant thing to guess lanterns and solve riddles. Suddenly, the taste changed. This made many people around them gradually lose interest.

Bai Ling was the only one, with a faint green fluorescence in one eye, and his expression was a little excited.

"This... this is actually!!!"

"Dragon Soul Pendant!!!"

Bai Ling looked at the pendant in the chubby boss's hand, unable to calm down for a long time. Because through the greenstone's eye, Bai Ling could clearly see that a powerful dragon soul was actually sealed in this seemingly ordinary and useless cold jade pendant! Moreover, judging by the posture of this dragon soul, it is definitely not trivial! !

The chubby boss was still yelling non-stop, calling out to the surrounding crowd to stop and watch.

But more and more people find it meaningless and turn around to leave. This also made the fat boss a little annoyed...

"Ah... well done, I'm going to kill myself and get this moth out. If I had known, it would be better to be honest..." The owner of the lantern sighed secretly, and his heart was not so enthusiastic.

On the other hand, Bai Ling was at the side, excited, thinking about how to speak.

The author has something to say:

My little angels, I'm really sorry, I've been too busy during this time, and I haven't updated it all the time... Please forgive me o(╥﹏╥)o
