Chapter 171 - 164: Releasing the Dragon Lantern
When the two of them arrived at the wheat field, it was exactly five in the afternoon. The wheat field was very different from yesterday, with rows of small stalls selling all kinds of delicious foods.
Many small cars were parked next to the wheat field, indicating that even people from the neighboring towns had come to join in on the fun.
In the loudspeaker, Niu Gang was delivering his speech for this year’s February 2nd event. He was wrapping up by saying: "So, everyone selling snacks must charge money, okay? It’s not good to think that because we’re neighbors, you don’t need to charge. And the charges should be reasonable; you can’t give it away for free, nor can you overcharge. Only in this way can our event continue year after year. Alright, I declare the Water Buffalo Town’s February 2nd Dragon Head Raising Celebration officially started."
As soon as he finished speaking, two thousand firecrackers started crackling and popping.
The sound of drums and firecrackers filled the air, and the place was thronged with people.
Han Qiwu and Tang Qingying exchanged a glance, covered their ears, and ran towards the food area in the wheat field.
Because Water Buffalo Town has a large and diverse population, there were foods from all over.
Once the noise from the firecrackers died down, everyone started shouting to promote their goods:
"Dragon Scale Cake! Dragon Scale Cake!"
"Eat Dragon’s Ear! Eat it to keep your ears warm in the cold!"
