063 It's New Year's Day 3

Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It is the second day of the Spring Festival. Li You brought the dog, Su Yang, and Yingying to the city. Originally, Li You didn’t want to come. Yingying begged for a long time before bringing it. People come out. I came out early now to see the juggling and lion dance performances here in the West Market. By the way, I can also play games. If it falls at night, there will be a lot of people here, so it’s still early to watch juggling and playing games. If it's really late, you can only look at people.

"Young Master, there are pot pots over there, let's go and have a look?" Before arriving in the West Market, the dog on the road saw a pot pot stall on the way.

"Gouzi, when were you interested in pitching pots?" Li You was indeed a little puzzled, because he had never seen Gouzi play this.

"Young Master, I just take a look, I can't play this, it's too difficult."

But Su Yang said: "Young Master, you can try it. With Young Master's skill, it shouldn't be difficult to throw a pot."

"Okay, go and see."

The pot-tossing game was originally a noble game, and it has slowly spread among the people. Whenever there are major solar terms, the people are also playing this game. In terms of distance, there are no restrictions. It depends on the rules of the game. Every time you throw eight arrows into a round, you will score the winner based on the number of hits. Put the arrows into the mouth of the pot. One point, if you throw an arrow into the pot ear, it would be two points, but the pot ear is much smaller than the mouth of the pot, and few people will deliberately throw the pot ear.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a cloth jacket. Seeing Li You surrounded by a few people, he also said, "Do you want to throw pots?"

"My master, what are the rules?" Li You asked.

The stall owner said, "One zhang, five cents, you can get a puppet, two zhang eight cents can get fifty money, three zhang eight cents can get two hundred money, if it's five zhang eight cents, you can get money consistently. Those who are above ten feet are less than eight points, but above four points, puppets are also available, ten literary points in a round.

Li You gave forty renminbi, so Su Yang and the others started. Regarding the distance, Yingying chose one meter. She thinks she can throw five arrows at this distance. As long as she throws five, she can Get a big puppet.

Don't look at the distance of one foot, hold the arrow handle and stretch it out, and the distance is just over two meters, but it is not so easy to throw it in. Yingying's eight arrows are all thrown and placed in the pot. Three, after all, the mouth of the pot is more than two inches, not very big.

Gouzi and Su Yang chose two feet, because they both felt that it would be too shameful to throw a pot at a distance of one feet, and there were a lot of people around here, there were dozens of people.

"Brother Dog, don't worry, aim at it, this time it will be done."

Why did Su Yang say that, because Gouzi had thrown four arrows in a row, and if the arrow was thrown again, he wouldn't get the reward.

Although the money spent is a trivial matter, not one of them was thrown in, which is really a shame. Usually dogs practice throwing knives, not to mention a hundred shots, at least there will not be such a big deviation, but who would have thought, four arrows are empty , This winter, the fine sweat on the body came out.

Li You didn't say a word. After the dog adjusted by himself, he finally dropped three arrows. Li You also nodded slightly. The dog was really good, at least he knew how to adjust. It was Su Yang, who completely shot four points, and it was finally rewarded.

It was Li You's turn. He also stood two feet away. He threw an arrow at the pitching pot. The arrow hit the ear of the pot and did not enter. He adjusted it slightly, and the second arrow penetrated perfectly. The pot ear, another arrow, also penetrated into the pot ear, and the stall owner also noticed that this was a master pot pitcher.

The next few arrows fell into the mouth of the pot one after another, a total of nine points, Yingying was very happy, in her heart, Li You would definitely be able to do it. But when the stall owner gave the money, he thanked him slightly. He really saw why Li You only chose two meters. If he really wanted to choose far, he would lose a lot.

After a few people walked around the West Market for a long time, they followed Li You to the Cuiming Tower. It was already a little late at this time. After eating here, they could watch the lights at night. New Bayi Chinese website first released https://https://

The night came very quickly. When a few people came to the West Market with the crowd, there were already a lot of people. Not far from Yongning and Yonghefang are the places where the river lanterns are placed. There are many tree lights, most of them People are walking there too.

As soon as I arrived at Yonghefang, before crossing the bridge, Yingying pointed to several stalls on the opposite bank and shouted: "Brother You, look, where can I guess lantern riddles to win lanterns"

Li You immediately took a look, and saw a lot of people standing in front of a number of large lampshades. At this time, Yingying said again: "Brother You, let's go and take a look."

"I can't do this, this lantern riddle is hard to guess, Su Yang, are you confident?"

Su Yang smiled and said, "Young Master, you think it is difficult, let alone small, it doesn't hurt to see."

"Young Master, don't look at me, I am not this piece of material."

Hearing Gouzi's words, Li You said angrily: "I know, I just want you to come with you."

Although there were a lot of people in front of the stall, they were basically onlookers. They just came to see the excitement and just to see how people guessed lantern riddles. Li You and the others are also here to watch the excitement. This riddle is not easy to guess, and unlike later generations, when the mobile phone comes out, they can know everything. At this time, it really depends on their own knowledge.

Although Li You's studies have not been wasteful in the past few years, he will read books seriously if he doesn't understand, and consult Nangong Yi if he doesn't understand, but even so, he can't guess the lantern riddle, so Li You just intends Come and have a look with Yingying.

At this time, two young men came here, probably less than twenty years old, they were here to guess lantern riddles. The stall owner is an elderly man in his fifties. He is wearing a plain cotton cloth and a thick leather cap. He is covered up and down very tightly. Seeing the two people guessing the riddle, he walked up to the person and asked, "Two Does Lang Jun want to guess lantern riddles?"

A young man said with a proud face: "That's natural."

The stall owner nodded and said: "There are three types of lights, the lower level is simple, the middle is slightly more difficult, the upper level is the most, the upper level only needs to guess one light, the middle level needs to guess two lights, the lower level needs three lights, the riddles are on the lights, all You can take a lantern if you guess it right. If you don’t guess it right, even if you guess one less, you will not be able to take the lantern, but you will have to spend five cents to buy a lantern."

The two young men didn't care too much when they heard it, and they all knew the rules. After a random round of inspections, they found the four lanterns in the middle. Although it was a little harder, they only needed to guess two questions.

"Su Yang, are you confident to guess these lantern riddles?" This time, Li You asked more seriously.

"Young Master, this is really difficult. Although I can't guess it, I don't know how to guess it, but the stall owners usually find some difficult problems. It is extremely difficult to guess. Young Master, you can see it by looking at it." (End of this chapter)
