Nongmen's Herbal Fragrance: The Space of Buddhist Doctors is Busy with Farming

Chapter 57
"Okay, get your book, let's go out." Ouyang said holding the door lock.

"Okay, let's go eat quickly." Waiting for Ouyang to lock the bookstore, Mu Han said.

"I'm here, I don't know what you are anxious about? Brother Qin, let's go, two girls." Ouyang looked at Qin Shuyu and said.

"Okay." Qin Shuyu replied.

The five people walked for about [-] quarters of an hour, and came to a third-floor 'Youjian Restaurant' with glowing peach blossoms in front of the door. In front of the restaurant door, the staff on the upper floor were hanging a string of small lanterns.

"Is there a restaurant or a bookstore?" Mu Xuefei looked at Ouyang curiously.

"It's Brother Ouyang's shop." Mu Han said.

"Hello, Young Master, and the four guests." The waiter at the door greeted warmly and respectfully.

"Just take us to my private room." Ouyang nodded and said.

The five of them walked into a restaurant with Xiaoer, the inside was extremely lively, and the room was filled with tempting aromas; delicious dishes, wine, plates of exquisite dishes, and special foods that had never been seen before.

The guests toasted each other in a friendly atmosphere, talking and laughing happily.

The waiter with a towel on his shoulders was holding a dish and yelling, the abacus in the shopkeeper's hand was crackling, and he occasionally stroked his beard in satisfaction.

"I don't know what the young master and the four guests want to eat?" Xiaoer took the five of them to the private room called Youjian Wing Room, the innermost room on the left of the third floor.

"Let's have a table of our restaurant's special dishes." Ouyang said.

"I don't know what taboos you all have?" Xiao Er bent down and asked respectfully.

"No, sister-in-law, sister Lan'er, do you eat steamed buns or rice?" Mu Han asked.

"Rice." Qin Lan found that the dishes here taste better with rice.

"Then I want rice too." Qin Shuyu said.

"Okay, please wait a moment, the food will be served soon." Xiao Er retreated respectfully.

"You guys have to taste the dishes of a restaurant later." Mu Han said with a smile.

"Okay." Mu Xuefei replied.

"Okay, Brother Mu." Qin Lan said with a smile.

"Your roasted square, squirrel mandarin fish, stewed chicken, salted duck, green snail shrimp, cherry meat dish and five bowls of rice have arrived, please take your time." After the waiter who helped serve the dishes arranged the dishes neatly, The second brother smiled and said, "I don't know what else to order?"

"It's gone." Mu Han looked at the four of them and replied.

"Then I will retreat first. If you have any orders, you can call me directly, and I will be outside." Xiaoer said respectfully.

"Thank you very much." Mu Han thanked him with a smile as he smelled the fragrance.

"I borrow today's table of dishes, one is to welcome Brother Mu, and the other is to be very happy to meet so many friends today. I will present tea instead of wine to everyone." Ouyang said while holding a teacup.

After the five returned their teacups, Ouyang said, "Okay, let's eat quickly."

"It's started." Mu Han replied.

"Okay." Qin Shuyu replied.

"Okay." Mu Xuefei looked at a table of delicious food and replied.

"Yes." Qin Lan said in a low voice.

"If they're not full, I'll let them serve a few more dishes." Ouyang put down his chopsticks and said with a smile.

"I'm full, today's trip is really worthwhile." Mu Han put down his chopsticks and leaned back on the chair with a satisfied face.

"Thank you for your hospitality," Qin Shuyu said.

"I've finished eating too, the food is delicious." Mu Xuefei said with a smile.

"Me too." Qin Lan said.

"It's probably not too early now, let's take a break and go to the Lantern Festival." Mu Han said.

"Okay, I didn't expect Brother Mu to be so careless. I haven't told you my name until now. My surname is Ouyang and my name is Jin." Ouyang Jin glanced at Mu Han in disgust and introduced with a smile.

"Okay, Brother Ouyang." Qin Shuyu nodded and said.

"Can I call you Brother Ouyang?" Mu Xuefei looked at Ouyang Jin and asked.

"Of course." Ouyang Jin said with a smile.

"Brother Ouyang is good." Qin Lan said with a blushing face.

"Today, thanks to brother Mu, I have two more younger sisters." Ouyang Jin looked at Mu Han proudly.

"Then you need to find more scripts for me." Mu Han took the opportunity to ask.

"Okay, for the sake of the two younger sisters." Ouyang Jin replied with a smile.

"I see you've rested, let's go to the Lantern Festival." Mu Han glared at Ouyang Jin and said.

"I'm fine." Ouyang Jin replied.

"Then shall we go?" Mu Han looked at Qin Shuyu and the others and asked.

"Okay." Mu Xuefei replied.

"Let's go." Qin Shuyu said.

"Okay." Qin Lan replied.

The five of them left a restaurant while Ouyang Jin asked Xiao Er to keep the accounts.

As the sun sets and the sky gets darker, the lanterns on both sides of the street are lit one by one, and the street gradually becomes brighter little by little.

"It seems to be a little early." Mu Han looked at the newly lit lantern and said.

"It's not early." Qin Lan said looking at the gradually bright lanterns in the distance.

"I think it's just right." Mu Xuefei stared intently at the lanterns being lit one by one. Compared with the loneliness of watching the lantern festival last time, this time she gradually felt a sense of belonging.

"Let's move forward slowly." Ouyang Jin said.

"Let's go!" Mu Han replied.

"Okay." Mu Xuefei replied.

"Yes." Qin Lan replied.

The five of them listened to the yelling of the roadside stall owners, looked at the lit lanterns on the long street, and walked towards the main street of Yangcheng. The number of pedestrians on the roadside gradually increased.

A lamp wheel with a height of twenty feet was built on the main street.

The light wheel is a pagoda-like lantern, and more than 5 colorful lanterns are decorated on the huge tree.

The colored lights were lit at the same time, and it really looked like a huge lantern tree from a distance. The sky illuminated was like daytime, which was really spectacular.

"It's so spectacular! What is this?" Qin Lan's eyes were filled with twinkling lights.

"Yes." Mu Xuefei agreed.

"This is the lamp wheel." Mu Han said.

"Later there will be riddles, juggling, and various snacks. It will be very lively." Ouyang Jin introduced.

"What is that woman wearing on her head? It's so beautiful." Mu Xuefei looked curiously at the hair accessories on the woman's head as she passed by.

"It's a light ball lantern, as big as a jujube chestnut, decorated with pearls and emeralds, crystal clear and dazzling. Most women at the lantern festival will wear such lights on the street, but they have to be careful when walking." Ouyang Jin said with a smile.

"Brother Ouyang, where can I buy that?" Mu Xuefei looked at Ouyang Jin expectantly.

"You can buy it at jewelry stores." Ouyang Jin looked at Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan's Qiji eyes and replied with a smile.

"Shu Yu, why don't we go buy a light ball and lantern first, and then come back and continue admiring the lights?" Mu Xuefei raised her head and asked.

"Yes! Brother." Qin Lan also looked at Qin Shuyu expectantly.

"Okay." Qin Shuyu couldn't refuse the pitiful expressions of the two of them, especially Mu Xuefei's originally bright and kind eyes were even more radiant against the light, making it impossible to refuse.

"I'll take you there. I know the nearest jewelry store." Ouyang Jin said with a smile.

"Brother Ouyang, please trouble me." Qin Shuyu thanked him.

"Where are you going?" Mu Han stood a little far away from the four of them and asked curiously as he watched the four of them prepare to leave.

"Cousin, I want to buy a lantern, and I'll come back later to continue watching the lanterns." Mu Xuefei explained with a smile.

"I'll go too, how can you leave me alone!" Mu Han walked to the side of the four and said.

"Then let's go together." Qin Shuyu replied.

The four of them came down to a jewelry shop not far away under the leadership of Ouyang Jin. There were people coming and going in the jewelry shop, most of them were buying light bulbs and lanterns.

The five of them managed to get through the crowd surrounded by layers and came to the counter.

"Boy, please give me two lanterns." Mu Xuefei said with a smile.

"Okay, a total of three taels of silver." The man agreed.

"Please keep it safe." Mu Xuefei said as she handed over a five taels of silver.

"Okay, I'll find you three taels of silver." The clerk collected the silver and gave Mu Xuefei change, then quickly packed it and handed it to Mu Xuefei, "Please keep it."

"Thank you." Mu Xuefei thanked her.

Then the five people went through the crowd and came outside the store. Mu Xuefei couldn't wait to unpack and took out one and handed it to Qin Lan, and held the other in front of Qin Shuyu and said, "Shu Yu, please bring it for me."

"Okay." Qin Shuyu paused for a moment, then reached out to take the lantern ball and put it on Mu Xuefei's head, pretending to be calm, "Okay."

"Shu Yu, is it good-looking?" Mu Xuefei reached out her hand to touch her head and looked up at Qin Shuyu and asked.

"It's pretty." Looking at Mu Xuefei, who was smiling sweetly and looking forward to her beautiful eyes, under the faint light of the lamp ball and lantern on her head, with only herself in her beautiful eyes, Qin Shuyu struggled to regain his senses and said.

"As long as it looks good, Lan'er, I'll help you wear it." Mu Xuefei asked Qin Lan with a smile.

"Please, sister-in-law." Qin Lan handed the light ball and lantern to Mu Xuefei and said.

"Okay, Lan'er looks even more beautiful when she puts it on." Mu Xuefei said, looking at Qin Lan after putting it on.

"Sister-in-law, you know how to tease me?" Qin Lan lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Cousin is right." Mu Han suddenly said.

"Brother Mu...why do you even say that?" Qin Lan stomped her foot lightly and said shyly.

"Sister Lan'er, I'm telling the truth." Mu Han said sincerely.

"Let's continue to visit the Lantern Festival." Mu Xuefei looked at Qin Shuyu's darkening face, and changed the subject.

"Okay." Ouyang Jin said and looked at Mu Han sympathetically, it's a long way to chase his wife.

"Let's go." Mu Han, who was completely unaware that he was being sympathized with, responded.

Walking along the way, the street became more lively, all kinds of lanterns, juggling stalls, guessing puzzles to win the lanterns, and the taste of snacks intertwined with each other, and together paved a grand lantern festival.

The five people came to the light wheel again, but it took a little longer than before. It was really the light ball lanterns Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan wore on their heads, so they had to move forward carefully.

"Huh, it turns out that walking in small steps is so tiring." Mu Xuefei sighed, feeling both happy and painful.

"I'm also very tired." Qin Lan agreed.

"You guys take a break first, there will be a guessing game here later, and the winner of No. 1 will get a Panchi Lantern." Ouyang Jin said.

"Pan Chi Lantern?" Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan asked curiously.

"There are five-color stencils, bodhi leaves, Ruosha shadow lamps, figures on horseback, and spinning like flying. I just don't know what panchi lamps will be this year?" Ouyang Jin explained with a smile.

"It sounds so beautiful." Mu Xuefei looked at the tall and magnificent lantern wheel and sighed.

"There is still some time before the start, why don't we go to other places and come back later?" Mu Han felt a little bored.

"Alright." Ouyang Jin said.

"Okay." Qin Shuyu said.

"Okay!" Mu Xuefei replied.

"Okay, Brother Mu!" Qin Lan replied.

"Then let's go." Mu Han walked ahead and led the way.

"After guessing the riddle later, let's set off the river lanterns and watch the fireworks..." Mu Han said as he walked.

As night falls, the streets are shining brightly under the lights, the hawkers on the street are louder and louder, and people are laughing and making noise in groups, creating a lively and festive scene.

"Do you want to eat fish-flavored spring rolls?" Mu Han smelled the strong fresh fragrance, and watched the peddler neatly holding the pan in one hand, shaking the dough with the other, making one piece with one flip, and the spring roll skin was as thin as paper and as round as a mirror. , asked in a transparent and soft way.

"I also want to eat some." Mu Xuefei said heartily.

"What's the stuffing in the bread?" Qin Lan asked curiously, smelling the tangy aroma.

"The fish-flavored spring rolls are filled with seabass and prawns. They taste very fishy." Ouyang Jin said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Ouyang, do you want to eat?" Mu Han asked on his deathbed.

"I want one." Ouyang Jin replied.

"Same." Qin Shuyu said.

"Boss, I want five fish-flavored spring rolls." Mu Han took out a handful of copper coins and said.

"Well, it's thirty Wen in total." The hawker raised his voice and replied.

"Here you are." Mu Han counted out thirty coins and handed them to the vendor.

The peddler stopped his busy movements, took the copper coins and confirmed that they were correct, then smiled and said, "Your five copies will be ready soon."

"There's a lot of food here!" Mu Xuefei said after looking around the street for a while.

"Of course, this is a street dedicated to selling food, which is only available when there are large-scale celebrations such as lantern festivals and temple fairs." Mu Han explained.

"That's it." Mu Xuefei replied.

"We must have a good meal today." Mu Han said.

"Can you still eat it?" Ouyang Jin looked at Mu Han helplessly.

"Yes! I haven't been back to Yangcheng for a long time, and I don't know how long it will take for me to have such an opportunity." Mu Han replied without hesitation.

Ouyang Jin was speechless, she could only shrug her shoulders and say that you are happy.

"Guest, your fish-flavored spring rolls are ready, be careful of being hot." The vendor wrapped the fish-flavored spring rolls in greased paper and handed them to Mu Han with a smile.

"Thank you, you guys have a try too." After taking it, Mu Han walked to an empty space next to him, opened it and said to the four of them.

"Thank you, Brother Mu." Ouyang Jin took out a copy and said with a smile.

"Cousin, you're welcome." Mu Xuefei thanked with a smile, picked up two copies and handed them to Qin Shuyu and Qin Lan, and then took one to taste.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Qin Lan said after taking the fish-flavored spring rolls.

Qin Shuyu took the fish-flavored spring rolls from Mu Xuefei's hand and said, "Xuefei, thank you."

"Is it delicious?" Mu Han asked urgently after finishing his portion.

"Delicious." Ouyang Jin replied very appreciatively.

"It's delicious." Mu Xuefei said with a smile.

"Fair." Qin Shuyu replied.

"Brother Mu, it's delicious." Qin Lan looked at Mu Han shyly and replied.
