Chapter 745
As the night gradually darkened, Taiping Town, which was just lit up with lights, was even more lively than during the day.

During the daytime, the streets of Taiping Town are crowded with people, but the shops and food stalls that offer all kinds of delicacies attract many tourists to linger.

But now, even the most delicious gluttons are flocking to the streets of Taiping Town following the flow of people.

During this Lantern Festival, they specially ran to Taiping Town. Apart from eating delicious food during the day, they also had to watch a grand Lantern Festival at night when night fell.

So soon, the streets of Taiping Town were already crowded with people.

When the sound of the clapper sounded on time, everyone looked eastward with anticipation, waiting for the lantern hanging high above the east gate of the town to light up.

Because as long as the lantern hanging on the gate is lit, it means that the Lantern Festival held in Taiping Town tonight will officially start.

At this moment, a group of residents of Taiping Town stood under the gate at the east end of the town.

Of course, it is not an ordinary character who can stand here at this time.

After all, a grand lantern festival will definitely cost a lot of money, and Liu Xishui, who has no money in his pocket, will definitely not be able to do it just by going to Xu's restaurant to drink.

Therefore, it became a matter of course to ask the more or less oily country gentry and wealthy landlords on the street to donate some money.

In order to accomplish this, Liu Xishui, an old boy, really had the courage to go around pledging donations. One hundred and eighty cash is not too little, and one or two hundred taels is not too much.

Of course, if you don't have the financial conditions, he won't force you to donate, but at this time, you can only stand at the door of your house, wait for the two big lanterns hanging on the gate to light up, and then light you up. The lanterns at the door of my house.

Xu Dawei, the shopkeeper of Xu's restaurant who pledged to donate 100 taels of silver, naturally stood side by side with Liu Xishui from Taiping Town.

As for Wei Laoxi, the owner of Wei's Rice Shop, who pledged a relatively small amount of donations, they can only come next.

Regarding this, Wei Laoxi and the others were somewhat apprehensive.

Damn, back then, Xu Dawei, who owed a lot of debt, could only secretly run outside to hide the debt.

However, the family gave birth to a good son, and it seemed that the family was ruined. In a blink of an eye, this down-and-out old boy, taking advantage of his son's east wind, trembled again.

No, even a donation would cost 100 taels of silver.

Of course, the object of their taste is only limited to Xu Dawei, an old boy who once ruined his family. For the boy of Xu Dawei's family, these guys still admire him.

Looking back, that is, more than two years ago, after learning the news of Xu Dawei's disappearance, the kid from the Xu family hurried back from Canglongmen.

At that time, Xu's restaurant, which had already been ruined by Xu Dawei, was so empty that it could run a horse.

As a result, Xu Yang, who started from scratch, paid off the huge debt owed by his father in just three months.

That's not to mention, this kid Xu Yang actually passed on his extraordinary culinary skills to Xiao Yu'er, who was younger than him.

In the days that followed, Xiao Yu'er, who had obtained Xu Yang's true biography, actually took advantage of Xu Yang's previous fame to manage Xu's restaurant well.

In the past two years, the reason why they have lived a much better life than before is not because the business of Xu's Winery has boomed, which has driven the economic development of the entire Taiping Town, which has made them follow suit.

Otherwise, how could Taiping Town have such a lively scene today?
So while eating, Wei Laoxi yelled: "Xu family boy, don't fret anymore, go up and light the lamp, if the time is late, we old guys don't care, but the group behind are waiting to see the lamp Guy, I might throw rotten eggs at you."

"Haha, isn't that right, we neighbors won't embarrass you, but it's hard to say for those tourists who come to liven up..."

At the same time, Liu Xishui turned his face hard and sprayed at Xu Yang who was standing behind him, "You don't know what's good or bad, kid. Your father wants to go up and light the lamp, but is he worthy?"

Xu Dawei, who was standing beside him with his gun lying on his back, suddenly became distraught.

Your uncle, does talking count?

What did you say when you came to pledge donations?

As long as I donate 100 taels of silver, let me nod a lamp, is this your exact words?

And now, you actually say that I don't deserve to nod a lamp?Is this fucking unreasonable?
Of course, even though Xu Dawei was filled with grief and indignation, he couldn't express it.

After all, it was his own son who competed with him for the right to light the lamp, and this brat was unanimously approved by the old guys present.

Xu Yang, who didn't intend to show off at first, was really forced to do nothing at this time.

The neighbors present were all his uncles and uncles, and his cheap father was also present. It stands to reason that it is impossible for him to have the right to light the lamp.

He had clearly refused before, but the neighbors present insisted on asking him to go up and light the lamps. If he refused again, it would be too hypocritical.

In desperation, Xu Yang could only step forward and bow his hands to the neighbors in the neighborhood: "That kid is overstepping!"

Liu Xishui, who had deliberately put on a serious face just now, immediately scolded with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense, the auspicious time has come, hurry up and light the lamps, remember, the three big lamps in the middle are lit for me together."

Now that the promise has been made, Xu Yang is no longer hypocritical.

In the next moment, he took the fire zip from Xu Dawei's hand with a gloomy face, then pulled the green onion from the dry land, jumped up from the spot, hung one hand on the gate tower, and used the fire zip handle to hang it in the big lantern in the middle of the gate tower candles lit.

The lit candle lit up in an instant, and its light spread out through the layer of paper covering the lantern, and illuminated the exquisite patterns on the paper. Chu, showing the world the unique beauty of lanterns.

"it is good!"

A burst of thunderous applause suddenly sounded from the streets of Taiping Town.

I don't know whether these thunderous applause were for the first lantern to light up, or for Xu Yang's skill.

Of course, no matter who these cheers are for, the prelude to the Lantern Festival in Taiping Town is slowly kicking off.

Immediately, Xu Yang, who was hanging on the gate tower with one hand, bowed and swung to the side, and then did the same thing, lighting the two big lanterns hanging on both sides of the gate tower.
