Chapter 158 Entering the Arena 【Second Update】

Because today is Lantern Festival, Gaihua specially ordered a copy of Lantern Festival.

This is the first time Lanhuaer eats Yuanxiao.She used to be from the south and always ate glutinous rice balls.Although she has celebrated several Lantern Festivals since she crossed over, because she is responsible for cooking at home, she has always celebrated the Lantern Festival in the way of making glutinous rice balls. This is the real Lantern Festival, she It's the first time I have tasted it when I grow up so big.

In fact, the taste of Yuanxiao and glutinous rice balls is not very different.If it is really different, it is probably the soup that is cooked.

The soup made from glutinous rice balls is weak, while the soup made from yuanxiao is thick.The main reason is that the glutinous rice balls are sticky and glutinous after they are made, unlike Yuanxiao, which will lose powder.Drinking this Yuanxiao soup in your mouth is like drinking glutinous rice batter porridge.It was the first time for Lanhuaer to eat Lantern Festival, and it really felt quite fresh.

After all, Lan Huaer is from the south, and the glutinous rice balls made in her hometown are very different.At the beginning, there were not so many ingredients at home, and she hadn't made complete glutinous rice balls yet, she just wrapped some sweet sesame seeds in the glutinous rice, and it was over.

Later, the conditions at home got better, so she just made the glutinous rice balls in her memory once.

The glutinous rice balls in her hometown are not filled with fillings. They are just small grains of glutinous rice flour, about the size of a fingernail. They are rounded one by one and put into the soup to cook.

The glutinous rice balls have no fillings, but the soup is very rich.In addition to radish and cabbage, there are bacon, sausages, mushrooms, scallops, lean meat, pork liver, chicken, etc. Counting all kinds of them, they are full of deliciousness.Lan Hua'er's favorite drink when she was a child was the glutinous rice ball soup.Especially the boiled radish strips that almost melted in the mouth, she could eat several large bowls when she was very young.

After time travelling, there really aren't that many ingredients in the house, at least she hasn't had the chance to make sausages, so the soup ingredients are not used that much.But even so, this kind of glutinous rice balls still makes Zang Lang feel fresh and delicious.She also invited Guan Ju and the others to have a meal, and everyone praised them unceasingly.

Although some people still like to eat Lantern Festival, Zang Lang still quietly told Lan Huaer:

"I like the Lantern Festival made by the little lady."

Lan Hua'er pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't tell him that those things were actually called glutinous rice balls.

The sun sets early in winter.Especially in the north, Lan Huaer reckoned that it should be afternoon, and the sky was already dark.

Lan Hua'er didn't realize how many people there were in this town at first, but when it got dark, she suddenly found that there were more people around her.It seemed that a bunch of people suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

It was just at noon when she wandered around the town all afternoon, and she felt that it was indeed the time of the Chinese New Year. Although the shops in the town were already open, and there were people selling them at designated places, after all, it was only ten years old. Fifth, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and it is somewhat unimaginable that this town is such a prosperous border hub on weekdays.

She also came to the town once before, although that time she just followed Chu Jiangkai and didn't have a chance to take a good stroll in the town, but in such a short time, she could also see that the town is It was really lively, and she was a little overwhelmed by the comings and goings of people.

At first glance during the day, she still felt that the contrast was a bit too big, and she felt like she was taken aback.

But when they finished their meal and walked out of the restaurant, Lan Hua'er realized that there were more people around her, and it even made her feel a little crowded.

Gaihua saw so many people suddenly appearing next to him, so he quickly took Goudan's hand, patted Lanhuaer's shoulder again, and said:

"There are going to be more people here, let's get closer. People in the security agency said before that when the Lantern Festival is about to start, there will be a lot of people coming into the town. I still don't believe it. Brothers and sisters, please don't I got separated. If you get separated, remember to go back to the place where we sleep, it's okay."

Lan Huaer let out an "oh", raised her head and looked around, and sure enough, she saw a lot of people coming from the direction of the town gate, probably those who had just entered the town.

There were also people who came out of the inns in the town and continued to join the crowd.

The roads in this town were not very spacious in the first place, but suddenly so many people came, the roads became crowded.

Lan Hua'er looked around, then quickly grabbed Gaihua's sleeve, then went back to grab Zang Lang, and then squeezed towards the place where the lantern festival they saw was going to be held.

Zang Lang didn't seem to like such a crowded and crowded place very much. He had been frowning just now, until Lan Hua'er stretched out his hand to hold him, his expression became calmer, and he let Lan Hua'er pull him away. go ahead.But he kept his head down and pursed his lips, frowning a little, looking neither uncomfortable nor happy.

Lan Hua'er originally thought about going back and talking to him to persuade him to relax, but seeing his unhappy appearance, she didn't know what to say to him.Moreover, there were too many people on the road. Even if she turned her head to talk to Zang Lang, Zang Lang might not be able to hear her clearly unless she yelled on the road.

In this case, she could only pull Zang Lang first, and follow Gai Hua to squeeze forward in the crowd.

After they passed by, they realized that the Lantern Festival hadn't started yet.There were soldiers blocking the door, preventing pedestrians from rushing forward.There was a figure who looked like a squad leader, who stood taller, and shouted to the surroundings:
"Everyone wait a moment, it will start soon. I wish everyone a happy new year, and wait a little longer!"

Lan Huaer struggled to look there for a long time with her toes on her toes before she saw the squad leader who was shouting.The team leader had a red cloth scarf tied on his head, and stood under the lantern with a group of soldiers holding spears, his leather armor was illuminated brightly, and he looked a bit heroic.

The ancient people really seemed to be more honest, Lan Huaer stood and waited for a long time with those people, and she didn't see any signs of impatience from the people around her.She felt a little impatient at first, but seeing everyone like this, she gradually felt a little embarrassed and impatient.

Not long after standing like this, there was a sudden commotion from the people in front.After all, Lan Hua'er was a little short, and was blocked by the people in front of her.Before she could understand what was happening in front of her, the crowd beside and behind her suddenly started pushing her forward.

She was taken aback, but everyone had been standing at the door waiting to go in, and the crowd stood so tightly that they almost stepped on each other's feet.Now as soon as the people around her moved, she would also move forward.

Everyone was so crowded all the way forward, Lan Hua'er felt that it must be because the front started to let people in.

She originally thought that after the front started letting people go, the crowd around her would disperse a bit.

But after a while, she realized that the people around her not only did not disperse, but squeezed even tighter.

Because the size of the door is limited, only a few people can enter at a time.The people around all wanted to go in quickly, and finally squeezed forward blindly, crushing the crowd to death, leaving no gaps.Lan Hua'er was not tall, and probably only reached the back of others, and was squeezed on the person in front, so she was almost suffocated by the pressure.

She was suffering, when suddenly she felt a tight hand, someone pushed the people around her, leaving a gap around her.Although the gap was not very big, it was enough for her to catch her breath.She took a few quick breaths, and when she looked up, she saw Zang Lang stretching out his hand to help her support the crowded crowd, leaving a small space for her.

The surrounding crowd was making noise all the way, Zang Lang couldn't hear Lan Hua'er talking at the moment.She could only gently shake the palm held by Zang Lang as an expression of gratitude.

After recovering so much, Lan Huaer realized that Gaihua and Goudan had been squeezed somewhere.

Originally, she had been pulling on Gaihua's sleeve, and Goudan also reached out to grab her sleeve.But because everyone didn't expect the crowd to riot suddenly, the crowd was not very close, and when the crowd started to flow, they were immediately dispersed.

Lan Huaer was worried for a while at first, and then remembered that the two of them also had money in their hands. No matter what happened, they could find it back to the sleeping place.He also thought that Gaihua and Goudan often lived in the town, even if the two of them were separated, and there was only Goudan left, they probably wouldn't suffer any disadvantages, so he made up his mind .

Before changing the flowers, I said that every time the lantern festival is held, the town pays great attention and sends many soldiers to guard nearby, so there will be no major accidents.

However, because Gaihua and Goudan were separated in this way, Lan Hua'er didn't care about the defenses of men and women, and tightly clenched Zang Lang's hand, not daring to relax at all.

Zang Lang's palm was big, and he held her hand in it. It was very warm, but it made her feel very safe subtly.

After being squeezed like this for a while, Lan Hua'er passed the door along with the flow of people.

Sure enough, there were soldiers guarding the door, holding long spears with wooden handles, watching the crowd who entered.

Lan Hua'er even saw the little captain who had shouted before, standing beside him, directing everyone to enter the door.He is probably also a team leader who often walks in the town. Someone in the crowd always greets him, so he agrees with a smile, then turns his head again, and shouts into the crowd:
"Don't be messy, don't be messy, don't be crowded. Go in slowly. This year, there is another store that plays lantern riddles. Take your time and don't worry now."
