11. Red Bean Rabbit Filling
Gao Yue and Yang Miaoer stood on the top of the hill in the North Mountain, looking down at it until the Yuedeng Pavilion, dense crowds of people coming to the banquet and play. Soon even the small vendors who were originally doing business in Donghu, Qujiang, came, because most of the people there were attracted here on the dike to the east.
Seeing this scene, Yang Miaoer was still a little surprised. How did Gao Sanlang do it?
"It's very simple. Use some small money and pastries in small sacks to attract popularity. Then it's snowballing." Gao Yue touched his chin with some smugness and explained to Duzhi, "The most important thing is that the Jinshi's Apricot Garden Banquet was in the Pavilion of Shangshu Province. The people and common people in the capital could only watch it, and the most important thing about entertainment was that all members participated. Unfortunately, the Zhongqu and Nanqu in Pingkangfang did not understand this principle at all."
"Is that so? It seems that I was lucky to receive the purse banquet after the man's departure?" Yang Miaoer looked at Gao Yue and joked. Then she looked in the wind. Many people in the capital, small officials, monks, Taoists, men, women, and young people were all sitting on the ground under the peach and plum willows in the North Mountain, eating pastries, rice wine with her, or watching wooden ball games, or watching the singing and dancing and miscellaneous operas of the girls in Xun Jing. Everyone had a happy smile on their faces, and the hilarious roars were endless.
After a while, even the vendors in Huchang'an County, Qujiangxi could not bear it and began to flock to clean up and came to the north mountain of Longhua Temple.
Next, even the people who were originally visiting Dacien Temple heard about the lively Longhua Temple and began to come.
Gao Yue's purse feast was like a big magnet, attracting popularity from all directions.
"Haha, I'm afraid the Jinshi Order at Xingyuan Banquet will lose." In the end, even Daizong, who was watching all this on Ziyun Tower, touched his beard under his chin and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go downstairs to climb the colorful boat?" Several eunuchs whispered to Daizong.
This group of eunuchs had long been bought by Zhu Sui, Wang Biao and others, so he made such a suggestion: there are several gorgeously carved pleasure boats on the surface of Qujiang River, but only emperors, prime ministers or high bureaucrats were allowed to take a tour. The eunuchs mean that as long as the emperor could take a boat and walk around the apricot garden, the people would definitely be attracted again, so that the apricot garden banquet of the Jinshi Order would not be embarrassing.
"Hey, the people go wherever they like, and I'm very happy to watch here."
It seems that Daizong is very smart and unmoved at all.
In Xingyuan, the pavilion of Shangshu Province, Li Feng, who had fallen into a blue nose, and the anxious Zhu Sui, Wang Biao and many other Jinshis sat on a dazzling array of banquet seats. The wine directors and tea directors of the Jinshi Order were running back and forth for a while, and the musicians were playing various musical instruments in a whisper. But the pavilion was very few, which made the pavilion look lonely and embarrassed.
"It's so noisy, it's so noisy!" Finally, Zhu Sui was furious, slapped the desk hard, and then pointed at the Jinshi Order, "A group of idiots, stupid..."
But Wang Biao turned around and looked at the pleasure boat tied on the vast water surface, motionless - the Holy Lord and Emperor didn't seem to have any intention of boarding the boat.
Yuan Tongzhi hurriedly told a singer named Zhang Balang that he should stop singing festive songs, which would make the groom unhappy.
"Okay." Zhang Balang understood it, then cleared his throat, raised his hand to his chest, and his dantian. He immediately sang out of the pavilion and flew into the sky, which was so sad and melodious:
"The mountains and rivers are full of tears,
How long can you be rich and prosperous?”
Zhu Sui was so angry that his hair stood upside down, "Help him out for me, help him out for me!"
With a thud, Zhang Balang was thrown directly on the mud outside the pavilion. When he raised his dark face, in his blurry sight, there were shocking cheers from the verdant north mountain of Longhua Temple:
In the empty field of Lord Yuedeng, dozens of Shence Army soldiers were divided into two hangars in the east and west, and the Cuju competition began. Sitting in Beishan just happened to see the entire competition, so Gao Yue's crust banquet became even more lively at this time!
In order to be able to perform perfectly in the current emperor, Shen Ce Army invested a lot of money. All Cuju hands were at the level of the general. The head of the east shed was Gao Chongwen, while the head of the west shed was still lonely. Juqiu came and went back and forth like lightning, which caused people from Yuedeng Pavilion to the north mountain to exclaim.
"It looks good." Cui Yunshao, who was sitting on the mat not far from the top of the hill, held up a round fan and watched the Cuju competition in the Moonlight Pavilion, kept shouting at Yunhe and Yuwen's little lady.
At first, the little lady Yuwen was also smiling, but when she looked over the Xingyuan, her father was still there, chatting with the disgusting and vulgar Li Feng, and the clouds floated up again...
At this time, Gao Yue was very kind and sat down to the three little ladies. Cui Yunshao saw that the filling was very delicately wrapped. Each piece was made of two ears with noodles, and two boiled red beans were lit on it, just like a lively and cute rabbit - of course, it was Song Shuangwen's craftsmanship. Yunhe looked at Gao Yue who was smiling vigilantly, and the little lady Yuwen's golden gold hurriedly stood up and said goodbye - only Yunshao took the filling directly and put it between her red lips and white teeth. After biting it, the filling inside was steamed taro, small lotus root and sugar candy, which was fragrant and sweet. "Not bad, by the way, Gao Sanlang, you are obviously in the finals, why do you have to build a shed and hold a banquet?"
Gao Yue was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yun Shao's innocent face and said, "There is a willow tree with tender yellow and green branches and leaves dancing in the wind, but no one is interested in it because it is in the corner of the garden. Isn't that very pitiful?"
"But there is nothing to do. You can't move it to the center of the garden, right? In that case, maybe it can't even save its life." Yun He's voice was crisp, and he answered on behalf of his cousin.
"But people are not trees, they can live by moving themselves." Gao Yue said, pointing at Yunhe gently and saying, "Miss of the Zhongcheng family, there is a red bean on your cheek."
"Hey?" Yunhe was a little embarrassed and hurriedly touched it with his fingers.
At this time, Gao Yue had already stood up, stood in the middle of the hilltop, spread his arms, and said to everyone attending the banquet, "The students of the Imperial College who were pursuing the Imperial College are all the people who were the next year. Who would have thought that they would be helped by the neighbors? As a Taofenpeng, he was very grateful to everyone. However, he still wanted to help everyone here. That is, Taofenpeng's summer class is about to be found in the south of the city, and the amount of money (rent) can be negotiated."
At this time, several women who came to the banquet at Shengdaofang were laughing, whispering to each other, and then waved happily, "If Gao Sanlang doesn't dislike it, we are in the north of Longhua Temple, where we are originally used to study Buddhism, so it would be better to use it as a treat."
It turned out that in the temples of the Tang Dynasty, a house for men and women could be provided for the supporters to build houses, but the premise was that the supporters had to pay for their own money.
Gao Yue was overjoyed and asked how much the rent was.
