"okay!"
Shitou agreed, and with a swish, he lifted up the cloth covering the carriage next to him.
"Ouch!"
Another giant revolving lantern!
No one expected that the Lion Tower could be so arrogant, building two revolving lanterns without knocking them down!
How much does this cost?
Not to mention the lamp, just the candles in the lamp are enough for an ordinary family to live for half a year, right?
"Hey, look, what's painted on this lamp?"
"It seems to be food!"
"Wow, these things look delicious!"
"Yes, I really want to try it!"
"..."
Yunchao painted many delicious dishes on this lamp.
The fragrant sweet and sour carp, the fragrant roast chicken, the fragrant braised pork, the fragrant big steamed buns...
Yun Chao borrowed many instant noodle painting techniques from later generations and painted various delicacies in a lifelike, exaggerated and attractive way.
There were also a few young guys standing next to them, all with high and bright voices. They loudly introduced the origins and allusions of these dishes to everyone. They were all short compositions written by Yun Chao, which combined catering and culture. He was so high-spirited that the melon-eating crowd was mesmerized by it.
However, the surprises brought by the Lion Tower to the people of Qingyang County tonight are far from over.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost heightened, Yun Chao waved his hand again: "Shitou, let's start!"
"okay!"
Wang Shitou also went all out tonight, changing his usual low-key style and acting very flamboyantly.
With a snap, the cloth on another carriage was lifted!
"Wow, so many little lanterns!"
"Oh, these little lanterns are so pretty!"
"Hey, do you sell these lanterns?"
"..."
Boom!
Boom boom boom!
Zhang Sihai took out a gong from nowhere and started banging it.
Damn, you just let Wang Shitou steal the show tonight, I'm the boss of the Lion House, okay?
The people watching gradually became quiet and listened to what Zhang Sihai said.
Zhang Sihai stood on the carriage: "Dear fellow villagers, I am the new shopkeeper of the Lion House. My name is Zhang Sihai. I am very happy today. I specially made these lanterns as a small gift to repay you for your love for our Lion House..."
With that said, Zhang Sihai asked his men to hang up the small lanterns on the carriage and then light them one by one.
Only then did everyone understand that there were words written on each small lantern.
Those who know the characters will quickly know what they are.
"Riddles? Are you asking everyone to guess lantern riddles?"
Zhang Sihai clapped his hands: "Yes, this lady is right. For just one penny, you can guess the lantern riddle once. If you guess it right, the lantern will be yours. Moreover, we will also give you the unique fruit candies of our Lion House." , what are you all doing in a daze? This opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back again!"
Lantern riddles have been around since the Dawu Dynasty, and everyone is familiar with them.
Paying money to guess lantern riddles is not the first of its kind in Lion House.
Tonight alone, there were several people paying to guess riddles.
Therefore, the melon-eating people watching did not think it was so strange.
This kind of lantern riddles are usually difficult to guess, otherwise the boss will lose money.
"Hmph! Don't you just want to make everyone's money? To put it nicely, why don't you give gifts, you're a profiteer!"
"Didn't you say that the new owner of the Lion House is a hero who can kill a black bear with his bare hands? Nonsense, how can a guy who can even fancy a penny be a hero?"
"..."
Just when the people were about to despise the Lion Tower and Yun Er of Wolong Village, a little girl said timidly: "Mom, I know what that lantern riddle is!"
"Oh, Feng'er, since you can guess it, mother will give you a penny, go ahead and guess it."
Everyone followed the sound and saw a young woman wearing linen clothes holding a six or seven-year-old girl in her hand.
The little girl took the coin handed by her mother and walked timidly to Yun Chao: "Uncle, Feng'er wants to guess the lantern riddle, is that okay?"
Zhang Sihai was so angry that his nose was twisted. It was obviously me who yelled, okay, this girl, why did you find someone else?
Yun Chao chuckled and took the coin from the little girl: "Okay, you can guess whichever one you want. It doesn't matter if you guess wrong. I'll give you a small gift myself."
"Thank you uncle."
After getting Yun Chao's consent, the little girl was very happy. She pointed at one of the lanterns and said crisply: "Wearing a big red hat and colorful clothes, she gets up early every day and sings the song Ten Thousand Households Open, it's a big rooster!"
"Huh? So simple?"
It wasn't until the little girl finished reading that the crowd realized that the riddle the little girl had guessed was so simple.
If only these lantern riddles were that simple, we could do it too!
Buying a beautiful lantern for a penny is not a loss at all!
Thinking of this, everyone looked at the other lanterns...
"Wearing a red hat and a white robe, he stretches his neck when he talks and puts on airs when he walks."
Isn't this a big white goose?
"The ears stand up. He loves to eat radishes and vegetables. He is so cute when he jumps around."
Halo, isn’t this the white rabbit?
"Sitting alone in the pond is like a tiger roosting, nourishing the spirit under the shade of the tree. If I don't speak first when spring comes, which insect dares to make a sound?"
Oh, isn't this a frog? Who wrote this poem? It’s so well written!
…
It turns out it’s all that simple!
"Hey, let me do it, let me guess one!"
"It's my turn, let me guess one too!"
"Hurry up and take my money, I want to guess too!"
"..."
It didn't take long and all the lanterns were sold out.
There's no way around it, Yun Chao's lantern riddles are too simple. As long as you know the characters, you can basically guess them.
Yun Chao is not here to make money, he is here to promote the Lion Tower, so of course he will not make too difficult lantern riddles.
The reason why we charge one penny for guessing lantern riddles is to prevent people from making trouble and making random guesses.
To everyone's surprise, I thought that a penny for a lantern was already a very good deal.
Who would have known that the Lion House actually had a small gift to give away.
Yun Chao personally stuffed a few pieces of colorful fruit candies into the hands of the first girl who guessed the lantern riddle: "Feng'er, right? This is a small gift from me. Don't eat them all at once. Eat well." Too much and your teeth will be damaged.”
The little girl got a lantern. It was so rare that she would not be interested in anything else.
She took the candy, put it in her pocket, and continued to look at her lantern.
Seeing that his candy did not arouse the little girl's interest, Yun Chao touched his nose and went to greet the others.
Yun Chao did not favor one over the other. Everyone who correctly guessed the lantern riddles was given a few pieces of fruit candies.
Most people don't take a few small things wrapped in paper seriously. How can a small thing that is given away be any better?
A gorgeously dressed young lady just like this. She handed a few pieces of candy handed over by Xiao Yuzhu to her maid and continued to study the lantern in her hand.
"Sitting alone in the pond is like a tiger roosting, nourishing the spirit under the shade of the tree. If I don't speak first when spring comes, which insect dares to make a sound?"
This poem is so well written, but I don’t know who wrote it.
It's really abominable that such a good poem has been used by profiteers to make money.
Extremely abominable!
