Zhang Ran didn't have classes today, so she came to Liu Yifei's house early in the morning, ready to take her out to observe life.

However, Liu Yifei looks in poor condition, like a frosted eggplant, and there is definitely no way to take it out to observe life in this state.

Liu Xiaoli sighed and said, "This kid is not obedient at all, how many times has she told her, eat less ice cream, she just doesn't listen." As a result, yesterday she pulled her stomach all day long, and everyone was empty, and this time it was a lesson for her!"

Zhang Ran touched her nose, she didn't eat ice cream, she ate too much barbecue, of course he would definitely not say this, after all, Liu Xiaoli told him not to let Liu Yifei eat indiscriminately. He smiled and said, "Since you are not feeling well today, don't practice and rest well!"

When Liu Yifei heard Zhang Ran say this, she stood up: "Master, I'm fine, I can go and observe life!"

Zhang Ran didn't agree: "I won't go out today, you do elemental training at home, and I just happened to think about how to carry out the next observation life training." ”

Coming out of Liu Yifei's house, Zhang Ran thought about what to do all the way to let Liu Yifei better observe and experience life. Liu Yifei is young, and she is relatively simple, things that are too complicated are not suitable for him, and she can't do it because she is too physically active.

What the hell is going to make her do, it's really a troublesome matter!

The bus stopped at Jimen Bridge, and Zhang Ran got off the bus and walked towards Huangtingzi Road.

In the cold wind, an old man in blue cloth came up to him, carrying a straw pole on his shoulder, which was filled with red and bright rock sugar gourds.

Zhang Ran's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, there is nothing more suitable than this, rock sugar gourd!

When she was studying in the play, Zhang Ran's girlfriend was in the stage of experiencing life, pretending to be a vendor selling rock sugar gourds. In addition to being able to contact different people through the streets and alleys, selling rock sugar gourds also has a huge benefit, while experiencing life, you can practice your voice, which is much stronger than doing others.

The shouting of hawkers, also known as hawkers, arose in the old society when advertising was underdeveloped, when there were few newspapers, radio was not widespread, and there was no television propaganda media. In the early years, the market hawking was a smooth way to write and sing by oneself, which played a role in advertising. The aim is to intensify the audio-visual sensation in order to deepen people's impression and make the product sellable.

The shouting tunes in various places have local characteristics, such as the shouting tunes in the magic capital, which are mostly Shanghainese, high-pitched shouting, tactful shouting, melodious and pleasant, easy to understand and listen to. The old Beiping shouting tone highlights the characteristics of Beijing flavor, the extensive use of children's pronunciation, the shouting sound of shouting in one go, the vividness revealed between words, words and sentences, and the characteristics of humor, witty, and easy to understand and listen.

The selling tone of the rock sugar gourd is one of the more distinctive, and the people who sell the goods need to elongate the sound through the streets and alleys, which can exercise the breath of people, exercise the penetrating power of the sound, and exercise the pronunciation of the words.

Liu Yifei's voice has no strength, no resonance, and lacks explosiveness, and her lines have always been criticized.

It is the best choice to let Liu Yifei sell rock sugar gourds!

Zhang Ran took out ten yuan from his bag and handed it to the old man: "Uncle, let's string rock sugar gourds!"

The old man took a string and handed it to Zhang Ran, and then gave him the change.

Zhang Ran took a bite of the rock sugar gourd, the taste was very crisp and not sticky to the teeth, sour and sweet, it has always been in the bottom of his heart, and he praised it sincerely: "Old man, your craftsmanship in making this rock sugar gourd is good, the entrance is crispy, and it does not stick to the teeth, it is sour and sweet, and it tastes so good!"

When the old man heard Zhang Ran say this, he was very happy, and nodded again and again: "This is the sugar boiled well, and the key to boiling sugar is the heat of boiling sugar." If the fire is underfired, the sugar foams, and the gourd dipped in it becomes a paste, and the appearance is not transparent; it is too hot, the sugar color is heavy, and the entrance is slightly bitter, and it is not allowed to be eaten. Copper pots should be used to boil sugar, and copper pots are the best to ensure that the color of the sugar is clear and not muddy. ”

Zhang Ran said with interest: "I didn't expect this sugar to be so exquisite!"

The old man saw that Zhang Ran was interested, so he said: "Don't look at this rock sugar gourd is a small object, making rock sugar gourd also pays attention to skills, the rock sugar gourd made by experts is clean and beautiful, crystal clear, crispy in the mouth, not sticky to teeth, and not sticky to sand when it falls on the ground." Boiling sugar and rolling sugar are all handicrafts. A skilled master can dip a pound of sugar into more than 30 strings of sugar gourds. The gourd dipped in sugar was taken out, and he slammed it the board, snapped, and left it to dry. When it cools, there will be a large crystal clear sugar flake on one side of the rock sugar gourd, which is very beautiful. ”

Zhang Ran thought it was easy to make rock sugar gourds, but he didn't expect that there were so many doorways, and said with a smile: "Your old man is really an expert, and you have been making rock sugar gourds for some years, right?"

"I'm sixty years old this year, and I've been selling rock sugar gourds for more than thirty years!" The years of hard work have carved countless marks on the old man's face, but he is in good spirits and full of energy when he speaks.

Zhang Ran nodded slightly, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, I don't know how much money you can make a day selling rock sugar gourds?"

The old man was also idle, and someone chatted with him, and he was also happy: "There are about 150 strings for a pole, 2 yuan a string for the big one, and 1 yuan a string for the small one, and it sells well for a hundred yuan a day." ”

Zhang Ran thought for a while and asked carefully: "Uncle, this selling rock sugar gourd doesn't make money, you are this age, why are you still tired of this?

The old man shook his head with a smile and said, "I've been used to selling for decades, and I'm idle and empty." This rock sugar gourd is a traditional old trade, and young people have lost interest in it. My two children, they don't do this, this thing doesn't support the elderly, they don't raise the young, it's too hard! You don't know, such a rock sugar gourd has to be made for two or three hours, waiting to be sold every day, how can they have this patience!"

Zhang Ran looked at the old man and said with a smile: "Uncle, let me discuss with you, can you make a little more rock sugar gourd, I will take 100 strings from you every day, according to the market price, 2 pieces a string."

The old man was stunned, then looked at Zhang Ran for a long time, and said in surprise: "Young man, what do you want so many rock sugar gourds for?"

Zhang Ran smiled and explained: "I am Nortel's teacher, with a student, this child's family conditions are relatively good, I haven't had much contact with society, I am going to let her sell rock sugar gourds, experience life, and practice her voice at the same time, your old voice is good, full of energy, and penetrating power, I can hear your shouting from a long distance, this has kung fu!"

The old man was very excited, this is equivalent to earning an extra hundred yuan a day, nodded and said: "Of course this is good, I just make more every day, but young man, this selling rock sugar gourd is very hard, and the current children are delicate!"

Seeing that the old man agreed, Zhang Ran took out three hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to the old man: "It's just too delicate, that's why you need to exercise." Uncle, this is 300 yuan, 200 is the money of the rock sugar gourd, it costs 100 strings, and the remaining 100 please make me a straw pole, I can't let the child sell it!"

The old man took the money, put it in his pocket, and said happily: "This is no problem, I'll make you a new one!"

Zhang Ran sighed slightly: "The day after tomorrow, I don't know where you live, take me to recognize the door first, and we will pick up the goods the morning after tomorrow!"

The old man nodded with a smile and said, "The day after tomorrow is New Year's Day, there are many people for the festival, and rock sugar gourds are easy to sell." My house is not far from here, you can come with me!"

Zhang Ran followed the old man for a trip, recognized the place clearly, and came out of the alley, Zhang Ran pondered about it for a while, and felt that he still had to say hello to Liu Xiaoli.

Zhang Ran took a taxi to Liu Yifei's house and told Liu Xiaoli about it.

Liu Xiaoli really frowned: "It's almost January, it's going to snow, the weather is so cold, the cold wind is blowing outside, and those who cross the streets and alleys are easy to catch a cold!"

Zhang Ran said with a serious attitude: "Ms. Liu, I have to say a few words to you." I know that you care about your daughter and love your daughter, for fear that she will bump into it, for fear that she will have a headache and brain fever. Your feelings are understandable, and you pity the hearts of parents all over the world! But are you really good to your daughter like this? Your daughter wants to be an actress, and a person who wants to be an actor can't endure such hardship, how can she be an actress? Martial arts scenes have to hang Weiya, and she has to fall in the air for a few hours, can she act? Rainy scenes, she has to be drenched in the rain for several hours, can she act in indoor plays, the headlights are on for several kilowatts, and the temperature is forty or fifty degrees? If she is not allowed to do such a simple life experience as selling rock sugar gourds, I will not be able to teach this student!"

Liu Yifei was a little anxious when she saw that Zhang Ran said not to teach herself, grabbed Liu Xiaoli's arm, and kept begging: "Mom, you let me go! You let me go! I won't catch a cold, you let me go!"

Liu Xiaoli is very convinced of Zhang Ran's guidance ability, and she has seen her daughter's progress these days. Liu Xiaoli didn't necessarily let Liu Yifei go, but she was worried about the cold weather and afraid that her daughter would get sick.

At this moment, she saw that Zhang Ran was angry, and hurriedly said, "Teacher Zhang, don't be angry, I didn't say that I wouldn't let Qianqian go!"

When Zhang Ran saw Liu Xiaoli say this, he smiled and said, "I'm not angry, I'm just a little worried." I've already paid for 100 strings of rock sugar gourds, if Yifei doesn't sell them, what will happen to the rock sugar gourds?"

Liu Yifei waved his little fist and protested: "Master, I thought you cared about me as a student, but it turned out that you cared about the rock sugar gourd, and you were angry with me, hum!"

Zhang Ran and Liu Xiaoli both laughed.
