Ever since she learned that her father planned to take the whole family to watch the lanterns on the Lantern Festival, Sheng Yuan had been thinking about it.
"Anyu said that during the Lantern Festival, there were not only hundreds of lanterns competing for beauty on the streets outside, but there were also six dragon dance teams shuttled between each other on the streets.
This is very different from the usual dragon dance! There are about sixty people supporting a dragon dance team from beginning to end, and the dragon's body is made up of hundreds of bright lanterns!
Looking from a distance, under the night, the six bright dancing dragons are winding on the street, just like real dragons! Whistling around and having fun with the people.
Lu Sheng also said that during the Lantern Festival, the rows of shops in the market are all brightly lit, and the food stalls outside the shops are of various styles and very lively.
For example, there are those who sell meals of various colors and tastes, those who make various barbecues or dried meats; there are also those who drink various sweet drinks and laugh and sing about snacks from all over the world.
According to them, the snacks on the auxiliary street to the south of the main street are the most outstanding.
Grandma Chen’s lychee paste has the best taste, without any strange smell; Xiaopangtong’s steamed and baked biscuits are the most famous, they are crispy on the outside and waxy on the inside.
Of course, the busiest place on South Street during the Lantern Festival is around Guan Tea House.
The tea house owner likes to be lively. Every festival, he clears out the space in front of the door and builds simple booths with tables and chairs out of bamboo. Every half step, there are bamboo poles carrying large lanterns, which will be lively for Guo'er's guests. Restaurants are inferior to each other.
Of course, Wenyuan Restaurant was not willing to give in. Not only did they provide stalls for hawkers, they also sent their chefs to help;
The salesmen who are responsible for welcoming guests will also introduce the delicious food outside to the guests who come to the restaurant to dine;
Xing Cai, who is responsible for serving food, sometimes takes snacks from the stalls outside the door for guests to enjoy.
There are many stalls outside the two buildings. The Hu family's grandpa's braised lamb tripe is unique, fried first and then grilled; ; and the steamed fruit Zheng’s steamed pears and dates are the most refreshing.
Of course, if you go to South Street, you must eat at Sister Zhong’s Yuanxiao stall.
Her Yuanxiao uses fine glutinous rice flour unique to the South, which has a particularly soft, waxy and smooth texture;
Her family also has a lot of Yuanxiao stuffings, including walnuts with brown sugar, fruit stuffing with sesame seeds, rose brine with green and red silk... there are about ten kinds of them!
Her boiled Yuanxiao is round and snow-white, as big as a walnut, and the slightly salty sugar-osmanthus sprinkled on it makes it even more unique. "
Sheng Yuan vividly recounted the delicious food she knew to her sister, almost making a sound as she spoke.
【It’s really worthless! 】Although the system is teasing like this, it is also having a laugh on its own lips!
However, Sheng An has never studied so much when she is so old. Listening to her sister counting all the delicacies on her fingers, she can't help but wonder: Could it be that...she visited a fake market before?
The day before New Year's Eve was the busiest in Yongfan Garden. Sheng Xiangxun and Zheng had to check the food they would need for the next half month from time to time; some gold and silver coins were given out as usual, and some were taken out temporarily. Various gifts; also review the matching of various clothing and accessories.
Being busy like this, and having to be grabbed by the arm by the eldest daughter and asked why the Lantern Festival she celebrated before was different from what her sister said, Mrs. Zheng was inevitably a little angry:
"Ask your daddy! He likes to go to North Street and East Street the most. The former has lively games such as throwing rings to get lanterns, hitting lanterns with wooden arrows, and picking lanterns with Frisbees. There are also competitions such as pot throwing, lantern riddle guessing, and palace lantern competition; the latter Storytelling, singing, juggling, and palace lantern performances are all his favorites."
Sheng Xiangxun was calculating his small warehouse with a pen at the moment. Hearing this, he immediately cried out: "How can you blame me? You are obviously afraid of gaining weight! When you first got married, you often went to South Street, but after going there a few times, you Just say that the original bracelet was too tight, how many times did you punish me for this? Isn’t this a routine hedging for me? Besides, of course, you have to play tight when you are out on the street, there is no place to eat delicious food!”
As he spoke, he lowered his head and said to Sheng Ran: "There are few good food in those three streets, and we are so happy to have fun, so we will go directly to the restaurants on the street to eat. There are several good dim sum shops there. , don’t I always buy it for you to eat?”
"That's different!" Listening to the little sister's description, Sheng Ran felt that no matter how big a restaurant was, it wouldn't be as lively as a street stall.
"Yes! It's different!" Sheng Yuan raised her head and listened for a long time, then jumped out to support her sister Sheng An, "There are also delicious ones on East Street! For example, the Linglong Poached Fish of Luo's snacks is very famous, beautiful and delicious. !”
"No matter how delicious it is, it's just a bowl of gnocchi?!" Sheng Xiangxun felt that this little guy simply didn't know what to say. Those simple ingredients were not as exquisite and rare as those in the house.
"The steamed glutinous rice dumplings and sauced meats of Chengjia Snacks are also very famous! That's right! There is a small shop outside the East Street, and the steamed ground yellow chicken they sell is so delicious that it can be heard for several blocks!"
Sheng Yuan held up her little finger to stage a show of trouble for her father: "There is also Beijie Street, where Yu's fish shop is very popular. Her sweet smoked fish, crispy fish, and fish floss are the best, I heard! "
"There is also a shop called Douxiang on West Street. They sell desserts made with tofu and butter puff pastry. I heard they are very refreshing!"
"That's enough for you, Sheng Xiaojiu!" Sheng Xiangxun was confused by the names of the dishes that the little chubby girl had submitted, "Tell yourself, how are these delicious foods you mentioned extraordinary? That's all. Does your simple eating make your mouth water?"
"Hmph! Eating outside is definitely different from eating at home! Eating in a big restaurant is definitely different from eating at a food stall!" Sheng Yuan shook her little head, making some sense.
Sheng An heard this and nodded quickly: "That's right! That's right!"
Humph, could it be that her father was fooling her just because she had never talked to her friends about eating outside?
"That's almost it! You two sisters are done with this, right?!"
Mrs. Zheng hadn't finished counting the tasks at hand, which made the two little guys a little annoyed. She nodded at Sheng Ran's little arm and said, "You have the nerve to say it? Sister Yuan, before she officially eats, you When have you ever eaten well? Every time you eat, it takes more effort than taking those pills!
Your sister is the only one who has officially eaten. You see that they are eating well, so you follow her and eat well, so who is to blame? "
Sheng An shrank her neck. She had no choice but to remember that she didn't eat well before!
Seeing the eldest daughter retreating, Ms. Zheng planned to talk to the little guy who was causing trouble, but she turned around and said, "Hey, where is he?" Taking a closer look, I saw Mr. Sheng Xiangxun winking at them while holding back a smile. Mrs. Zheng looked aside and took a look. Oh my god, this little thing got under the flower shelf!
This made her angry and funny: it was obvious that this little guy had evil intentions just now and was so annoying!
Mrs. Zheng originally wanted to ask someone to pull her out and teach her a lesson, but when she saw the little guy blinking and looking at her with big innocent eyes, she couldn't bear it.
Forget it, spare her! Is it possible that he really needs a beating? !
