Chapter 93 Idea (3)
"Okay, okay." Wen Shili lifted Ning Yuyao up and said affectionately, "Young girl Yao is my uncle's gift boy." As for Feng Shi and Wen Wende who sat aside and kept nodding, this granddaughter is a lucky baby ah.

When Hui Niang took Ning Yuyao to write the formula, Feng Shi also took the two daughters-in-law to the farm and told Cai Da and others to pack up 100 eggs and duck eggs and try some first, and Wen Shili and Wen Shixuan ran away To prepare lime, soda ash, salt, anise, pepper, pine and cypress branches, tea powder, rice bran, plant ash and other things.

After everything was ready, Hui Niang first followed Ning Yuyao's private reminder, and took Zhang and Lin to put pepper, anise, and pine and cypress branches in the pot, add water and cook for half an hour, then add salt and black tea powder to cook, Scoop out and filter to get the juice. After the juice cools down a little, add quicklime and soda ash, and stir well to make it completely melted.Finally, add a few handfuls of plant ash with your hands and stir it into a paste.Then I ordered Cai Da and Guo everyone to dip the selected fresh eggs in the paste to make them stick to the paste, then roll them with rice bran, and put them in a cylinder to seal them.

Another fifty salted duck eggs were put into the altar, and after Hui Niang and Ning Yuyao told them when to unseal, they went back to Lihua Village in a carriage.

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year is the Kitchen Festival Day, a day to welcome the Kitchen God back to the people. Because the Kitchen God wants to check the household registration, every household must stay at home, prepare abundant fruits, burn incense and candles, and set off firecrackers to show respect.The whole family has to stay at home all day.In previous years, the capital city had never posted a picture of the Stove Lord, but this year, Wanwan bought one when he bought new year's goods, and put it next to the stove, as a real welcome for the Stove Lord's return.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival, Ning’s father brought his family to Yun Town together, and looked at the lanterns and festoons hanging everywhere. Create a strong joy, fiery and beautiful.Famous old shops hang hundreds of lamps, some are all in the shape of flower baskets, some are all made of horns, and some are gauze lanterns; some are in various shapes and colors, all of which are painted with various stories.

There are lantern sellers everywhere, and all kinds of lanterns dazzle Ning Yuyao who is being held by Ning's father. Whenever he sees some new and different styles of lanterns, Ning's father will explain them to Ning Yuyao. Fan, at least Ning Yuyao feels that she has come all the way, such as gauze lanterns, flower blue lanterns, dragon and phoenix lanterns, angular lanterns, golden lotus lanterns, Yulou lanterns, lotus lanterns, hibiscus lanterns, scholar lanterns, etc., and the shapes of lanterns are very rich, with four directions. , hexagonal, octagonal, round beads, flower baskets, Fangsheng, Pisces, gourds, pan length, mugwort leaves, collars and many other varieties.

Ning Yuyao watched this ancient lantern show with relish, so she had to marvel at the wisdom of the ancient people, just like the gauze lantern I saw just now is made of hemp gauze or hemp fabric as the lamp surface, on the upper part of the lantern The upper and lower parts are decorated with golden cloud patterns, and the bottom is equipped with golden fringes and tassels, which are beautiful and generous, festive and auspicious.There is also a shadow gauze lantern made of various colors of hemp gauze, with flowers, birds, insects, fish, landscapes and pavilions painted on it, and decorated with golden cloud patterns and tassels of various colors.

In addition to these, there are small stalls crowded together on the side of the road. Naturally, there are many sellers of lanterns. There are also small stalls selling food burdens, rouge, gouache, wooden combs, and hairpins. There are also sugar blowers who sell clay. Pinching dolls, Big Fu, and so on.Walking to the open place, there are jugglers, and a stage set up, playing, playing and singing, and singing big plays.

On the outskirts of the town, sky lanterns were slowly raised, flying into the sky like giant stars.Tonight, men and women come out to step on the moon, watch the lanterns, and watch the fireworks. The people on the street are crowded and motionless.In ancient times, women did not go out easily, but they could go out to play during the Lantern Festival, and young unmarried men and women can give each other purses today. As long as both parties accept it, the man will choose an auspicious day to come to propose marriage.

The children bought all kinds of fireworks and set them off, "Sister, look quickly." Ning Yuyuan, who was being held by Hui Niang, pointed to a gauze lamp in a shop not far away. There was a small bell inside, which jingled when the wind blew. It was really ingenious, Hui Niang and the others stopped and admired the beautiful lanterns along the way, and sometimes stepped forward to look twice.

"Father, what kind of lamp is that? It's so beautiful and delicate." Ning Yuyao suddenly saw a hanging lantern.

Father Ning looked over and explained to his daughter: "Yaoyao, you see, this is a revolving lantern, and it is best to use a revolving lantern for a lantern. You see, a revolving lantern usually has a rotating wheel in the middle of the lantern, and it is pasted on it with colored paper cut out. Candles are lit under the wheel, hot air rises, causing air convection, making the wheel turn, and the paper image turns accordingly, the picture is continuous, very dynamic and fascinating."

Hui Niang and Ning Yuyao at the side both stared at Father Ning in admiration.

"Young people are so knowledgeable, this revolving lantern is the treasure of our shop!" An old man in the shop came over!
Ning Yuyao stroked the flower drum lantern curiously, the tentacles were smooth and the color was bright, it was really extraordinary.

Father Ning saw that his daughter liked it very much, and said to the boss: "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this lamp?"

"Little old man, this lamp is not for sale." The shopkeeper shook his head meaningfully: "Today is the annual Lantern Festival, and I have specially set up lantern riddles here for the sake of adding color. The old man won’t take any money.” The shopkeeper looked at everyone with a smile, and a group of people who watched the scene slowly gathered around.

During the Lantern Festival, many shops will use lantern riddles to attract people's attention, because basically the lanterns are used to make bets are the best in the shop, so no matter whether they can guess correctly or not, people's interest is still very high of.

"Okay!" Father Ning looked at the watery eyes of the daughter in his arms looking at himself, and responded, "Boss, I want to guess!"

"Alright then! There are three lantern riddles in this lamp, and I won't make things difficult for you, as long as you guess two correctly! Please!" The old man stepped back, and the spectators were already crowded.

Father Ning carried Ning Yuyao and walked to the lamp, stretched his hand into the lamp, took out a small note, and slowly opened it, the surrounding was silent, as if he was holding his breath, wanting to see the person in front of him What action!
Father Ning unfolded the note completely, and Ning Yuyao stretched out her head, looking at the big characters "Wait until autumn comes, September [-]th" on it, her writing is vigorous and correct.

Father Ning still looked at the shopkeeper with the same warm and gentle appearance as before, and looked at the boss fixedly, with the corners of his mouth raised, looking so beautiful under the colorful lights: "Boss, you are in constant anxiety."
