Chapter 1900 Ning Huaixiu Is Dead (3)
The streets were lined with hawking voices, and from time to time, waiters stood in front of the stalls to solicit customers. The air was filled with the aroma of various snacks, many of which Caiwei had never seen before. The children were also dazzled by the various novelties, and their eyes were not enough to use.
"Sugar-fried chestnuts! Qingxian Spicy Hot Pot! Mu's Secret Barbecue Meat Skewers! Fried Stinky Tofu!"
There was another round of shouting, and many people were attracted to the front. Some stalls were selling hot and people stood in line in front. After a group of people finished eating, the waiter was busy washing dishes and wiping the table. In such a cold day, his hands were frozen red, but his face was full of satisfaction.
"Mu's Secret Barbecue Meat Skewers? Qingxian Spicy Hot Pot? I wonder if they are all passed down from the food I invented?" Caiwei said with a smile.
"Potato noodles, smooth potato noodles, homemade, with tofu shreds, dried mushrooms and chicken, full of ingredients!"
There are more stalls in front, and there is also potato noodles that Caiwei liked to eat in her previous life, but she can't eat anything now, so she can only look at it and walk past the stall.
"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, wear a flower, madam, buy a flower to wear? Look at how beautiful the big red flower is, and ask for good luck!"
The vendor saw that Nangong Yi and Caiwei were well-dressed and they were rich. When he saw them passing by his stall, he immediately raised a gaudy big red silk flower and shouted.
When Caiwei saw the silk flower, she immediately thought of the matchmaker on TV, and quickly pulled Nangong Yi away.
"Hey, what is that?"
Jin'er was held in Nangong Yi's arms, high up and far away, he pointed in the direction ahead and asked curiously.
Caiwei looked over and saw that many people were surrounding a mask vendor to choose masks. There were masks in the shape of fairies, large hollow flowers, and more bird and animal styles. Many people chose their own zodiac signs, and there were also girls who loved beauty trying them on. The vendor was quite nice, and he also prepared a bronze mirror for everyone to see the effect of trying them on, and he would give opinions from time to time.
"At that time, masks were worn on the face for fun!" Caiwei explained patiently.
The three little babies saw masks for the first time. Seeing everyone wearing masks, they also felt itchy in their hearts, and their big black grape-like eyes showed desire.
"Do you want one? Let's go, Dad will take you to buy one."
Nangong Yi saw the desire in the children's eyes and immediately took the children to the mask stall.
Finally, Jin'er chose a Kunlun slave, Mingzhu chose a fairy, and Yu'er chose a monkey. The three children put on the masks they chose, and they were all happy and happy.
Nangong Yi was in a good mood because a few hundred coins could make the children so happy. He continued to walk forward with his family.
East Street was obviously more lively. There was not only a lantern festival here, but it was said that there would be lantern riddle guessing activities on the Lantern Festival. Many shops were free to guess lantern riddles. As long as you guessed correctly, you could get a lantern for free. Of course, there were many who could not guess and bought them directly, which cost a lot of money.
There were many lamps on both sides, which were not only made in a variety of ways, but also exquisitely crafted. The materials were very particular, including metal structures, fine wood carvings, gold lacquer inlays, glass paintings and other types. They were in various shapes and varied. Such as six-powder lanterns, tower lanterns, various festive and auspicious lanterns, bird and animal-style lanterns, peaceful and interesting revolving lanterns, and pavilion-style scenery lanterns.
"So beautiful!"
People came and went, standing in front of their favorite styles and stopping. Caiwei looked at the children, wondering if they liked them and whether she should buy them two to play with. However, she did see a few weird masks.
