Chapter 337: The Four Great Heads [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
"What is a sugar man?" Zhao Yan took Yaya's little hand and stretched out her head to see that she didn't know her. Zhao Yan is a native of the city, and she is a good girl, and she usually goes home from school. It's not surprising that you don't know anything about the food in these alleys. But it doesn't matter if you don't know it, it looks very good-looking, especially the sweet fragrance, look at the little black bear on the side anxiously scratching its ears and cheeks.
"Look at the little black black." Meng Meng pointed to the baby and hugged Xiao Heihei, the little thing was in a hurry, the butt twisted and twisted and wanted to run down, the eyes stared at the syrup pot, and the eager little appearance made a group of adults and children happy. Different from Xiao Hei, the little leather monkey rolled his eyes, quietly jumped from the arms of the little bell, secretly ran behind the old man who was a sugar man, touched a small bamboo stick thrown away by the candy man from the ground, and quietly rolled it in the pot.
"Wow, the little black ball stole candy." The black ball hadn't taken a few steps yet, and Tongtong shouted behind him, and the old man looked back, Lehe, this naughty little monkey, this sugar syrup pulled out a line. The old man was very distressed when he saw it, but now that he is rich in materials, many people feel that the sugar man is unhygienic. This old craft is in danger of disappearing, and this old man has taken great pains to make people feel hygienic. Blowing Tang people don't need to mouth, most of them are asking, people are eating, playing, eating is mostly painting candy people, playing is blowing. Otherwise, with a small gas bag, the old man has studied for several years, and although it is not as good as blowing with a small gas bag at this time, it looks like it. This is not at this time, blowing candy with a small gas bag, and as for the film gloves on his hands. Originally, Zhao Yan was afraid of unhygiene, but it looked good.
"Mom, I'm going to play this." Yaya pulled her mother and pointed to the compass in a low voice and said, this Meng Meng played just now, as long as two yuan is transferred to what to take, the most expensive of which is five or ten yuan a noodle person, and the cheapest is a little monkey one by one. It didn't fall short, and I also sent a jelly bean each time.
Jelly beans of various colors, small particles, in the past, rural children were vaccinated, and the aunt who received the injection would bring a handful of jelly beans, and the little doll was unwilling, or the injection was distressed, and most of the things were solved with a jelly bean. The local jelly beans are made from sugar cane and have few colors, only white and red, all of which are pure and natural colors. The taste is sweet, the little baby likes it the most, and Li Feng didn't eat it less when he was a child. Some merchants rattle and shake it, and when the jelly beans arrived, it was a luxury to be able to eat jelly beans once a month.
Li Feng is good, he is the only child in the family, and he loves to collect all of them, even so, every time the merchant enters the mountain, he buys at most two cents of jelly beans, don't underestimate two cents, eggs are three or four cents at that time, more than ten jelly beans are a dime, and two cents are eaten slowly, and you can eat them for more than half a month. The children in the village, Li Changlin, Li Changgui, they are envious to death. Many children may have a big fight because of a jelly bean, and if you can eat a jelly bean every day, you can definitely become the focus of everyone's envy.
"Well, how do you play with this?" Zhao Yan looked at Dongdong like a playground wheel, a little incomprehensible, but there were all kinds of sugar people and noodle people inserted in the upper circle, some of which were brightly colored, lifelike, and exquisitely made, Yaya said, these are not edible. And it's the most expensive, it costs five yuan, so they won't buy it. But Zhao Yan thinks it's fun, it's already a handicraft to make it like this, and it doesn't matter if you can eat it or not. And five yuan is not cheap in her opinion, these noodles are extremely finely made, you look at the wrinkles on the head, the hair can be clearly seen. It can be seen that this is very labor-intensive, five yuan, Zhao Yan's eyes are shining, this Monkey King is doing just right.
"Mom, look around, the red needle will do it." Yaya stretched out her little hand and fiddled with it, and the pointer just pointed at the noodle man Sun Wukong. The old man smiled and took it off and handed it to Yaya. "The little girl is lucky, this one usually sells for five yuan. This time there are only two pieces. Yaya saw that her mother had paid, and happily took Sun Wukong up and down, the little girl was very proud to hold up her little breasts, and the baby and Mengmeng didn't turn it just now. Two small jelly beans, Yaya gave one to her mother. "Mom, it's delicious, sweet." ..., Zhao Yan felt that this thing was really interesting, she couldn't help but fiddle with it, the luck of the mother and daughter was really good. "Wow, Mom, you've transferred to Zhu Bajie, it's amazing. Grandpa said it was ten dollars. "It's not the biggest one made by Zhu Bajie, with a big belly, carrying a rake, more than ten centimeters. But the old man is one of the few big guys here, baby, Mengmeng, Bell, Qiqi, Tongtong looks at Yaya with envy, Yaya's mother is so powerful. "Really? What's so embarrassing about this? "Zhao Yan heard that people bought ten yuan, and he was embarrassed to give two yuan.
"Hehe, it's nothing, you see that I'm mostly a little candy man here, and I usually don't lose money. However, you mother and daughter are not so lucky. The old man smiled innocently, and took out two jelly beans to wait for the girl, the jelly beans were very chewy and sweet. Yaya carefully picked up the napkin and brought it back to her father. "Auntie, it's amazing, the baby has been turned many times, but it hasn't been transferred." The baby pouted, touched his pocket, and the bell cousin divided his fifteen yuan, only five yuan left, and the baby would eat meat buns for a while. The little girl is very greedy, of course, the most greedy is Tongtong, everyone else has turned around, only she hasn't played. "Mom, are we going to play well, just play twice, okay?"
Zhou Qing saw her daughter's pitiful appearance and touched Tongtong's head. "No, let's play five times, and the old man will give ten dollars. Tongtong, you play. "It's a pity that Tongtong is not very lucky, the first four times I turned three sugar people, once a small noodle person, if you buy it alone, it only costs five yuan.
"Mom, you come and go, I want a big doll." Tongtong pointed to the gourd baby newly inserted in the original position of Zhu Bajie on the turntable, there is a good singing, gourd baby, seven babies on a vine. This is the water baby, Zhou Qing, took a deep breath and slowly turned the turntable.
"Stop, stop, wow, mom is so amazing, grandpa my big doll, give it to me, mom, look at the big doll, it's so beautiful." Tongtong hugged Zhou Qing, who was a little stunned, and yelled, jumping, too powerful. Zhou Qing felt that it was too incredible, he really turned to ten yuan for a big-faced person. I really can't believe it, Zhou Qing covered her mouth and was pleasantly surprised. The old man smiled slightly, nodded meaningfully, and lightly stepped on a bamboo board below his feet.
At this time, Li Feng and the three of them finished drinking tea, clapped their hands and got up. "Let's go, let's go and see, the first plate will come out, let's go join in the fun." Li Feng said with a smile, Lu Jun and Zhao Jianguo are not familiar with the rules. Li Feng gave a brief introduction, and the two of them thought it was quite interesting. Fighting vegetables, the head plate of four kinds of domestic fish, but different methods, silver carp head, grass carp body, herring tail, bighead carp requirements to make sashimi. Although a few dishes have a set formula, it is more and more a test of the master's skills. Li Feng is not worried about the first two dishes in his heart, but the herring and bighead carp are not raised by themselves, even if they are both wild fish, but there is a gap between Lao Huotou's craftsmanship and Lao Juetou, which has been seen in the first opening dish, Li Feng's worry is not superfluous. At this time, the old firehead was a little anxious, maybe he cared too much about this game, and he had Lu Tianba, a hero of the soil nest. This old firehead who grew up listening to Lu Tianba's stories, the trace of worship for idols in his heart makes him pay special attention to winning and losing.
"You betta fish are quite interesting, each fish uses a fixed method, and each fish chooses the most suitable method, although bighead carp is made into sashimi, I haven't tried it, but I think that's the reason." Lu Jun listened to Li Feng say, this dish is really interesting, fish shreds, fish balls, fish tail braised in soup, fish head in soup, and finally a sashimi. And it's selected with fish, only the scope of play is not large, which is up to their own hands. …,
"Hey, why, you didn't go to the game?" Several men walked downstairs, and saw a group of people talking and laughing around Mengmeng, but they didn't leave the hanging water building far. Zhao Jianguo sighed, this person saw a scene that was once familiar. "This is the Sugar Man? It's really a sugar man, hahaha, it's the right time to come this time. I haven't seen you for many years, so give me a try. Li Feng and Lu Jun were slightly stunned when they saw Zhao Jianguo's unusual excitement, Lu Jun didn't care much about sugar people, and he had eaten them a few times when he was a child. Different Zhao Jianguo grew up in the countryside as a child, in the late seventies, early eighties, a period of material scarcity. At that time, Zhao Jianguo was even more bitter than Li Feng, and it was already good to eat sugar once a year.
The annual New Year's money is only five cents, and the toffee of two pennies is rarely seen except for the Spring Festival adult mood to buy a handful. Probably the most sugar man, at that time, you can exchange the items at home for the sugar man, rice, corn cobs. It's just that at that time, there was no surplus food in anyone's family, and few people went to change sugar for their children. Zhao Jianguo is not rich, so he can only hide on the side and watch others eat candy and drool himself.
Growing up and making money, I still have regrets when I think about it, but now I see it, and it's inevitable to be excited. "Hehehe, it's still that taste, master, your craftsmanship is really good." The familiar taste has a kind of tearful sourness, and the barrenness of childhood made Zhao Jianguo determined to change all this early, and now he has become a city person, married a city woman, and has a car and a house. Zhao Jianguo sighed a lot at this time, his life has changed so much, but the taste of this sugar man is still the same.
Li Feng can understand Zhao Jianguo's mood, and it is difficult for people to experience the specific meaning of a meal without living in that era. Li Feng bought two sticks, handed one to the boss Lu Jun, and savored not only the sweetness, but also the various bitternesses that had been there, which slowly faded in the sweetness.
