Chapter 190 190. Lantern Festival
Although it was the Lantern Festival, Jinjiu and Lin Qian, who loved eating and drinking, still turned it into a food festival.
If you ask Jinjiu and Lin Qian what lanterns are there for today's Lantern Festival, whether they are beautiful, whether they can be bought, and how much they cost, they will definitely know nothing.
But if you ask them where to eat, what's delicious, and which one is the most cost-effective, they will definitely be able to give you a list!
After eating and drinking, Jinjiu passed by a ring-tossing stall. The ground in front of the stall was filled with all kinds of colorful lanterns.
"Put the ring on it! Three dollars for one ring, ten dollars for four rings! Put it on and you can take it away!"
Compared to the ones next door that cost one dollar or two dollars a circle, the price of this place is relatively high.
But even so, there are still many people who enjoy it. In front of the stall, many people are queuing up and waiting to throw rings.
The reason is simple, because the other ring-tossing stalls only sell small snacks and dolls worth a few cents, while the lanterns in this stall are not only big but also very delicate, and they fit the festive style of tonight.
These lanterns not only have floral appearances, but also animal appearances. There are even a few lanterns with landscape shapes such as mountains, towers, ponds, waterfalls, etc. in the farthest places!
Lanterns with floral appearances are the most common, but the prices are still not low. The cheapest ones are around ten yuan, and the more exquisite the others are, the higher the prices. Especially the lantern with the high tower landscape in the back, it costs at least one or two hundred yuan!
With such exquisite lanterns, everyone, regardless of gender, age or status, will surely be unable to help but look sideways.
Anyway, it only costs three dollars to put on a ring. Now it is a holiday and everyone is out for fun. Generally, they are not reluctant to spend a few dollars, so many people are still willing to try it.
Of course, another reason is that the boss is a good person. If you try to collect thirty yuan in a row and fail, the boss will give you a small lantern, and you can choose what style you want.
Although the small lantern was only worth ten yuan, everyone played with it and got something, so basically everyone was satisfied.
Seeing Jinjiu stopping in front of the stall selling ring-tossing lanterns, Lin Qian couldn't help but feel curious, because she felt that Jinjiu didn't seem to be interested in this kind of thing.
What's more, for a special person like Jinjiu, if he really pays, it means he is not here to have fun, but to ruin the place.
She doesn't need to use any special powers, she can put it anywhere she wants.
"Go to the back of the stall and see if there are any stones." Jinjiu said softly.
When Lin Qian heard this, she knew there was probably something else going on, so she immediately ran to the back of the box where the boss placed the lanterns. Sure enough, she saw several ordinary-looking stones of different sizes on the ground.
After telling Jin Jiu about this, Jin Jiu curled the corners of his mouth.
Lin Qian watched her pay and was a little surprised.
“Is there something wrong with this stall?”
Jinjiu did not answer, but casually threw out a circle to prove it with practical action.
Lin Qian watched helplessly as the circle was supposed to catch a fox lantern, but it inexplicably shifted a little in the air, and ended up not catching the fox lantern, but instead hanging on the edge of the lantern.
"Oh, what a pity, girl. Here we only count if the whole set is included. These ones that only touch the edges and corners don't count." The boss picked up the ring that Jinjiu threw out with a smile, looking honest and simple.
If she hadn't seen the previous scene, Lin Qian might have thought that this boss was indeed an honest man.
But now that she had seen it, and with what Jin Jiu had said before, she immediately understood that there was something wrong with this stall, and the one who caused this problem must be the boss! To put it bluntly, the boss used those stones to make a gadget similar to a formation, and then made some changes to each lantern. In this way, unless the boss was willing, or someone who knew the business broke the situation, it would be impossible for ordinary people to trap anything.
"Four more circles." Jinjiu paid ten yuan. The boss did not doubt it and handed over four circles with a smile.
What he didn't know at this moment was that his smile would soon disappear.
This time, Jinjiu no longer threw the rings randomly, but injected a little bit of Bu Ling into each ring first, and then threw them straight towards the target.
"Wow! He actually hit that landscape lantern! That's amazing!"
"He hit it! Someone actually hit that landscape lantern!"
"Oh my god! How come I got it right again? I got it right twice in a row!"
"This girl is amazing, she has two rings in her hand, I feel like she can hit both!"
Although the boss has been intentionally controlling the situation to allow some guests to win a few circles occasionally, no one has ever won two in a row, and both of them are landscape lanterns!
This is something no one has ever thought of.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Jinjiu, and even the boss's gaze was a little inquiring and nervous.
Obviously, he also guessed that Jin Jiu must have seen something, because he knew clearly that he had set up a situation that he could completely control. Unless someone was more powerful than him, otherwise...
"Congratulations, young lady!" Although the boss had thousands of emotions in his heart, he couldn't show them. After all, Jin Jiu had caught the lantern in front of everyone, without doing anything. On the contrary, he was the one who set up the trap...
"Please take these two lanterns." The boss handed the lanterns to Jinjiu, his face a little nervous.
Even though he knew that what he did was not fair, he was really afraid that Jinjiu would continue to disrupt the situation.
"Thank you." Jinjiu took the lantern, and then gave the remaining two rings in his hand to a little girl next to him.
"gave it to you."
The boss breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, but when he saw that Jinjiu didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, he suddenly became worried again.
He looked at Jinjiu, but Jinjiu just walked aside and continued to watch others throwing circles. The boss was a little confused, but Jinjiu was really conspicuous because of the two big lanterns in his hands, and many children couldn't help but look in Jinjiu's direction.
There was even one person who couldn't bear the pleading of his own child and came to Jinjiu with a helpless look on his face.
"Hello, young lady. My child really likes this lantern. You have two lanterns. Can you sell us one?"
Jin Jiu shook his head: "Not for sale."
Lin Qian looked at this scene and suddenly felt like she was back in the gambling stone market in City C when she went there before.
At that time, Jinjiu opened a piece of ice-type wine, which made many people rush to ask Jinjiu whether it would sell that piece of ice-type wine. At that time, Jinjiu said "not for sale" without hesitation.
The current situation is similar to that of the past.
