"Dear guests, if you have a good meal and drink, our restaurant will also hold a 'Lantern Riddle Conference' in the backyard. If you can guess the lantern riddle correctly, you will not only take away the exquisite lanterns, but also get small gifts prepared by the hotel inside the lanterns. In short There are many rewards. If you are interested, you may wish to challenge..."
The restaurant waiter went upstairs and announced next to the table.
During the Lantern Festival, how can we not guess lantern riddles?
"That's a good relationship. Husband, don't you always claim to be smart? And Mr. He, you are a first-class Jinshi at that time. I guess these word puzzles won't trouble you, right?"
Shen Wenjun blinked at the two of them.
Anyway, after three rounds of drinking, the dishes on the table were in a hurry, and everyone had a bulging stomach. It was time to enter the theme of the night.
Song Che slapped the table and stood up, excitedly: "Okay! I will win all the gifts in Bixia Restaurant tonight!"
Everyone went downstairs and moved to the backyard.
The lantern riddle competition held by the First Restaurant was naturally very grand. From the courtyard to the backyard, there were all kinds of colorful lanterns. There were cloth strips hanging under the lamps with all kinds of riddles written on them. There was also a specially built lantern at the end of the corridor. There must be a stage and a dedicated doctor to check it.
When the guest guesses which word puzzle he is confident about, he takes off his lantern, walks onto the stage, and tells the doctor his answer. If he guesses correctly, he can take away the lantern and the gifts in the lantern.
Guests who have had their fill of wine and food walk in groups in the courtyard, and often a lantern riddle will make people have fun guessing.
"Congratulations to this guest, who successfully guessed the lantern riddle and received a 'carp lantern' with two pieces of garlic!"
Whoever guesses the riddle will be called out by the Doctor.
"What? It's garlic. Are you too stingy?" Some customers complained.
The doctor smiled and said, "Sir, small gifts, small gifts, what matters is your heart and your participation."
The purpose of guessing riddles is of course for the sense of accomplishment when the answer is revealed. It doesn’t really matter whether there are gifts or not.
"Brother-in-law, I want this jack-o'-lantern!"
Liu Xiang'er immediately fell in love with the pumpkin lantern hanging on the corridor.
"Okay, let me see what the riddle is!"
Song Che picked up the strip of cloth under the pumpkin lantern, and Shen Wenjun helped him chant: "A little girl was born in the middle of the water, wearing a pink coat, sitting on a green boat... Hey, what is described in this riddle is related to Xiang They are very similar."
Isn't this too simple?
Song Che said casually: "Obviously it's lotus."
Liu Xiang'er held the lantern, ran up to the ring with three steps and two steps at a time, and delivered the doctor's answer.
"Congratulations to this little girl. She successfully guessed the riddle 'Lotus' and received a 'Pumpkin Lantern' and a cucumber as a bonus."
"Brother-in-law is so awesome! He won the first guess!"
Liu Xiang'er was holding a lantern and nibbling cucumbers, her face flushed with happiness.
"Sir, I have taken a fancy to this 'lotus lantern'. It says 'It has a face but no mouth, it has legs but no hands. Although it has four legs, it cannot walk'. What is this?" Coco opened her eyes. asked with big, urgent eyes.
Song Che didn't even think about it. He pointed at the table in front of the doctor on the stage and smiled: "It has legs, no hands, and four legs. It's obviously a table."
Coco held up a lantern and went there. It turned out to be a table. She got a lotus lantern and a fragrant pear as a reward.
"Uncle, I want this and this..."
"Brother-in-law, please help me guess one too!"
"Hey, you guys are using your brains too. You always ask me to guess, but that takes away the fun."
“But it’s really fun to win prizes!”
In a short time, the whole family had prepared lanterns and various small gifts.
Perhaps seeing that Song Che was so powerful, the waiter from the restaurant came and said, "Sir, you are so powerful. If you continue to guess, you will light up all the lanterns in our row."
Song Che said: "Don't tell me that in such a big restaurant, you can't even part with a few lanterns."
"No, no, don't misunderstand me. With your intelligence, these ordinary lantern riddles can no longer trouble you. It's better to give the opportunity to others to play... In a quarter of an hour, the riddle will be held on the arena. The game's gameplay is very simple. Two people charm each other, attack and defend. Whoever has the most difficult riddle will win the championship.
The boy bared his yellow teeth, showed three fingers, and said: "The winner of this riddle contest will receive three 'white strips'. With these three white strips, you can enjoy free meals in our Bixia Restaurant." Eat and drink three times!”
In this high-end restaurant, even if you have a simple meal on weekdays, you have to go there for dozens of taels. You can have three meals for free. If you only choose the expensive ones, you still have to pay thousands of 800 taels?
This lottery is quite good!
Song Che spread his hands and sighed: "Although I am good friends with your shopkeeper Wang, but you insist on giving me this free meal coupon, so I can only accept it without politeness."
The boy smiled and said: "My lord, please don't be too full of words. This riddle guessing conference has brought together all the riddle masters in Luoyang City. All of them cannot be underestimated."
We’ll see!
A quarter of an hour later.
The doctor moved the tables and chairs and vacated the arena. The guests who were watching the excitement moved closer and soon there were two to three hundred people gathered.
The doctor announced the rules of the competition - a competition method of taking turns to attack. If the challenger's riddle is guessed, the offense and defense will switch. The challenger will set the question. If the challenger cannot guess the riddle, he will be eliminated.

"Is there any need to compete? We, Mr. Zhou, are the number one riddle king in Luoyang City. There is no riddle that can be difficult for him in this world!"
It was true that there were enemies on the same road. Zhou Chunlai, who was drunk and causing trouble earlier, and his accomplices also participated in the quiz meeting.
"How is it? Are you confident that you can beat him?" Song Che asked He Qiu with a smile.
He Qiu hummed: "Guessing riddles is nothing more than showing off some cleverness. I don't bother to compete with him on the same stage. I am a first-class Jinshi, and he is a second-class Jinshi. Which one is higher and which one is lower has already been seen in the highest-level imperial examination in the current dynasty." Know the difference."
"Well……"
Song Che cursed in his heart: You deserve to be single, no wonder you have no friends!
"Okay, let me announce that the quiz competition has officially begun. Let me pose a question first to give you all a good start!" The doctor cleared his throat and said loudly:
"This riddle only has two words, it's called 'dusk'. Guess the name of a place. Please answer it."
"I know I know!"
Liu Xiang'er jumped onto the ring and said with a smile: "Evening sunset, sunset sunset, isn't it the 'Luoyang' (setting sun) under our feet?"
"Young guest is really smart. You guessed it right. It is Luoyang City, the capital of the Liang Dynasty!" The doctor gave up the arena and said, "Sir, please come up with the riddle to guard the ring."
Liu Xiang'er couldn't wait to speak out the riddle in her heart:
"The puzzle I created is a crossword puzzle with only three words, called 'Fifteenth Day'. Type one word and ask everyone to guess!"
