Chapter 44 Fishing
Zi Shi.
A figure was jumping around on the top of the house very nimbly, but the guests sitting in the teahouse chatting felt that their eyes were blurred and they had no time to see clearly what it was.
At this moment, Li Cake was searching for Lu Li in Chang'an. After all, if the sky fell, a tall man would hold it up.
When eating on the veranda at noon yesterday, in order to prevent problems from happening, he specifically asked Lu Li about his plans during the Lantern Festival: he would visit the east and west cities on the first day, visit Qujiang with a female companion on the second day, and visit Qujiang at night. Go to the Qin Government Affairs Building for a banquet.
Although I say this, in fact, what most men say is different from what they do, and Lu Li is obviously not the same.
After coming out of Andingfang and passing by Andingfang and Liquanfang, I smelled Lu Li's scent.
Therefore, it first went to the Zoroastrian Temple, but found that no one was there anymore, and then followed the smell to the Jing Temple. Finally, it heard a Jing monk say: Lu Siqing took his female companion to enjoy the lanterns on the street.
The entire city of Chang'an was lit up with lanterns. God knows where the temple officials went to enjoy the lanterns.
Fortunately, Li Cake had a keen sense of smell and did not give up easily. After some judgment, he started running towards Anfu Gate where a giant light wheel was installed.
Because it didn't take the usual route and passed through the top of the house, it didn't take half an hour to reach the imperial city.
And then……
The cat is lost.
Palace lanterns not only pay attention to ostentation, but also pay attention to luxury and highlight the royal style. Therefore, the 50,000 candles are mixed with spices from the Western Regions, and the base is filled with sesame oil.
The night wind blew, and the surroundings were filled with strange and confusing smells. Li Cake stood on the tower and sneezed several times, unable to concentrate on looking for Lu Li. He vaguely judged that he was heading east with a few girls.
Alas, Mr. Cat is unlucky to have a lazy and lazy boss.
Li Cake complained at the top of the imperial city while looking down attentively, trying to spot Lu Siqing's expression in the crowd.
Gradually, it chose to give up and jumped directly from the roof, tightening the curtain on its head and covering its paws with its wide cuffs.
In this way, there is a mysterious person on the streets of Chang'an.
"Jiaohuan, five nuts, dried fruits or bacon and fresh vegetables, it's up to you. It only costs two dollars."
"Pink fruit! Pink fruit! Freshly baked pink fruit, fragrant and sweet, full of portion. Come here to replenish your energy when you are tired from shopping."
Amid the cries, Li Cake lost himself:
What’s wrong with eating something good during the Lantern Festival?
You've been busy all day, can't you take a break?
Anyway, Senfukuji Temple is right there, and you can’t escape.
As for Yuan Zai, he is so shrewd that nothing will happen to him. Furthermore, with so many people entering the Buddhist hall to admire the lanterns, and with the protection of the Buddha's magic power, there will be no accidents.
Thinking of this, Li Cake lost all worries and ran to a stall and said in a brisk tone: "Two portions of fried powdered fruit, five-nut filling, more sugar, more sesame seeds, and a frozen pear. "
"Hmm... I also want a piece of fried dried fish."
"Okay, I'll wait a moment."
The old man responded, lowered his head to prepare the ingredients, and said, "Thank you for your patronage, twelve dollars."
As soon as he finished speaking, the clanging sound of copper coins sounded.
Not long after, Li Cake took away the packed food, then found a roof and jumped up on it, and began to feast.
the other side.
Foodies can always meet at the right place and at the right time.
"Lao Lu, look at that man's back, does he look like a dog?"
"It's very similar."
It was a stall selling kebabs. A man sat there silently, holding his head and looking up at the stars.
Although he didn't make any movements, the aura emanating from his body had perfectly conveyed his emotions: people's joys and sorrows are not the same, I just think you are making a noise.
At this moment, Duke, who was determined to eat all the food in Chang'an, felt very uncomfortable. Others were out shopping, admiring lanterns, and taking care of his family. He was like a lonely ghost, wandering around without a plan——
It would be great if I could go back to the world of the Three Kingdoms. Even if it is not as prosperous as before, I would still be very happy. After all, the wife Ming Media is marrying is there.
"Staff, are the meat skewers ready?"
"Guest, just wait for half a moment at most."
"Well...remember to wrap it in paper for me."
Not long ago, Duke got a can of good Sanle pulp, and now he ordered ten mutton skewers and a big elbow at the stall, and planned to find a secluded place, such as the top of the pagoda, to drink while watching the thousands of people.
lights.
"Donor, I see the gloomy Qi between your brows. You must be missing a certain woman."
Pan Ming deliberately changed his voice and appeared quietly behind Duke.
"This good man, would you like to wear my cross and listen to my lectures?"
Lu Li also became playful and asked Miss Qianrui for a string of crosses, which he handed to Duke, "The power of the Aloha God of our religion is boundless, and it can help good people transcend the sea of suffering."
Not far away, Miss Qianrui and Mrs. Guo Guo looked at each other. They had never seen such a strange sight.
If you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn’t even be able to believe that a fifth-grade Yuanwai Lang and a third-grade Dali Qing could actually do such a thing on the Lantern Festival. How could he have the poise of a high-ranking imperial official?
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the three of them have a good relationship.
Because there were two more people silently appearing beside him, Duke suddenly became alert. However, after he saw who it was, he couldn't help but relax. He quickly put away his sadness and cursed with a smile: "Why did you two get together?"
"Come to comfort you."
Uncharacteristically, Pan Ming recited another half of the poem: "On the Lantern Festival this year, the moon and the lights are still the same. I don't see the people from last year, and my spring shirt sleeves are filled with tears."
After he finished reading, he raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears.
"Go, go, go, I can't be so pretentious."
Duke was speechless for a while, and the emotions he had finally brewed disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Okay, we finally got together, what are the arrangements?"
Lu Li was in a good mood. He was a freshman in Chang'an City. It was rare for the three of them to get together. Plus there were no trivial matters to worry about, so they naturally had a good time.
Pan Ming nodded, and Duke was somewhat moved. It was better to have a lively gathering than to drink alone.
"Pingkangfang? I have never been to this kind of fireworks place when I grew up..." Duke looked hesitant.
"I haven't been there either."
Hearing this, Lu Li put on the posture of an experienced driver and waved his hand: "Arrange!"
"Have you been there?" they both said in unison.
"Are you kidding? I'm a regular. Do you know who you drank with last night?"
In his excitement, Lu Li forgot about the embarrassment of not being able to follow the drinking orders, and said boldly: "Li Taibai, Wang Mojie, they were all drunk by me, and they are probably still lying down now."
Li Bai?
Wang Wei?
Duke and Pan Ming were in great spirits. They wanted to experience what it would be like to drink with a great poet who has been famous throughout the ages.
