Chapter 167: The Might of the Elder Brother
There are also some folk crafts of kneading clay figures, kneading dough people, blowing candy people, and painting sugar paintings at the temple fair. These things are children's favorites, but if a child sees them, they will not be able to sell them. Whether they have money or not, they refuse to leave, staring at these exquisitely shaped gadgets.
Especially the sugar man, who can play and eat, is the most popular. A large group of snot babies were surrounded by three layers of snot babies and three layers outside, all of them crowded and stretched their necks.
An artisan of some age sat on a small pony, and in front of him lay a rectangular cabinet with a shelf, and under the cabinet there was a semicircular open wooden cage, and in it there was a small charcoal stove, on which was a large spoon, and in the middle was filled with syrup. The wooden frame is divided into two levels, each with many small jacks, on which are inserted sugar men who blow good hair. There are birds, fawns, goldfish, lanterns, etc.
I saw that the craftsman used a small shovel to take a little hot syrup, put it on the hand stained with talcum powder and rub it, and then used his mouth to hold a section, and after blowing foam, quickly put it in the wooden mold coated with talcum powder, blow hard, and after a while, open the wooden mold. A lifelike Sun Monkey is done, after the Sun Monkey is done, it is necessary to knock a small hole on the back of the monkey and pour some syrup, and then prick a small hole in the monkey's buttocks, so that the syrup flows out slowly, and then use a small Jiangmi bowl to scoop the syrup in the bowl with a small Jiangmi spoon to eat, until the syrup flows out or cools and solidifies, then even the sugar man Sun Monkey and the Jiangmi bowl and spoon are eaten. This set of toys is called monkey diarrhea, and it is more expensive than the average sugar man. It's a fat boy custom-made. The fat boy took the monkey strain, held it in his hand, and the beautiful snot bubbles came out.
Little Orange was also attracted by this candy blower. Staring at the monkey in the fat boy's hand, his eyes lit up. Shuyun saw it funny, so she bought her one too. The little girl was so happy. The strength of the beauty has a fight with the fat boy.
There is also a legend about the origin of this candy blower. It is said that the ancestor is Liu Bowen. After Zhu Yuanzhang won the world. In order for his throne to be passed down from generation to generation, he built a "Meritorious Pavilion". Heroes of the fire. Liu Bowen escaped by luck and was rescued by an old man who was carrying the burden of candy. The two changed clothes, and from then on, Liu Bowen was incognito, picking candy people every day to change the rags. In the process of selling sugar, Liu Bowen creatively heated the sugar and softened it to make all kinds of candy people, including chickens and puppies, which were cute and cute, and children were vying to buy them first. On the way, many people asked Liu Bowen to teach them candy blowers, and Liu Bowen taught them one by one. As a result, this craft has been passed down from one to the next, and it is said to have a history of nearly 300 years.
Shuyun discovered a phenomenon: in China, everything is from small to large, from eating to playing. Most of them will have a corresponding legend or story, and then it is associated with certain historical figures and events. Whether it's true or not, it will give it a legendary and cultural heritage. This has also become a means of publicity, and it may be regarded as one of the earliest forms of advertising. And it's a very connotative form of advertising.
There are a number of folk crafts that have reached the modern age. It's all gradually lost. Take this candy blower as an example, Shuyun could often be seen when she was a child in her previous life. At that time, as long as they met, Shuyun and a group of sisters would definitely take out all the money in their pockets. One person buys one. If the money is not enough, he will rush home and ask his mother for it. But after entering the 90s, it was basically difficult to see it again. It's kind of a sigh to think about.
When returning to the city. It's dinner time. At the end of the day, everyone was tired enough. Even the strong Boole and Heyong were a little wilted. But the harvest is quite rich. All kinds of snacks, gadgets piled up in the wagon.
Temple fair. A unique combination of commerce and entertainment in China, which seems to have a place of buying and selling, artists selling arts, and ordinary people shopping and entertainment, actually has many cultural connotations, native folk culture, and rich heritage. Food, clothing, and play are all culture, simple and unpretentious, and closely connected with the people.
When I returned to Xiangxuehai, it was already dark. Mama Qin was looking forward to it at the gate with a group of minions. Seeing Shuyun's carriage galloping towards him, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Niangniang, you can be counted back, you are really anxious to die slave." Mama Qin bowed outside the carriage and said profusely.
"Mama is so anxious, isn't there something happening to Zhuangzi?"
"That's not true, it's just that the slave maid sees that it's getting late, and she is a little worried about the mother."
"Mama Lao is worried, there are two guards with her, and it will be fine. Let's go back quickly, we haven't had dinner yet. Seeing that Mama Qin was so anxious, Shuyun thought that Kangxi couldn't stand the disaster of the buns, so she ran back with them in advance. Now it seems that it is not, and Shuyun is relieved. I hope that Lao Kang can survive for a few more days, and he can have a good time.
Shuyun's wish is good, but whether Lao Kang can hold on is debatable.
Since the Eighth Elder Brother Xiaoshu flooded the Seventh Army, the buns who knew that they were at a loss had stopped a lot. After getting up, wash and dress honestly. Kangxi saw that it was still early, so he wanted to let the little ones sleep for a while. But the buns have to advance and retreat with Amma. Lao Kang nodded with satisfaction and went up. Prince Yin also went to school afterwards.
After a while, Shangshan sent someone to bring a lot of food.
The buns were happy, and the dragon eggs and Tuan Tuan were the most.
While the dragon egg bulging with a small mouth, he didn't forget to ask Mama He: "Mama, Amma's dim sum is so delicious, it's a little worse than ours." But there are more types than ours, who did this? It's amazing. ”
"Hehe, these are all made by the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room. They can be regarded as the best cooks in our Qing Dynasty. Mama He said with a smile.
The dragon's big eyes twitched a few times. He asked again: "What about our uncles and aunts who cook?" Are they awesome? ”
"Didn't the fourth elder brother say that these foods are a little worse than those in Zhuangzi. In fact, several of the cooks on Zhuangzi are also the top imperial chefs in the palace, and there are some novel recipes and seasonings given by Niangniang, so they will not be worse than those in the palace, but better. ”
"Isn't that the more uncles in the imperial kitchen, the more delicious food you make?" Long Dan grabbed a piece of cake with one hand, tilted his head and asked persistently.
"Of course. Fourth brother, eat it. Didn't the emperor and his mother say that they should 'eat without saying a word, and sleeping without saying a word'? ”
A few steamed buns are eaten by young and old. After that, he wiped his mouth.
I saw that everyone had finished eating. Brother Jiu's little flower girl shoes are about to pour the rest of the snacks into the open crotch pants. Ruxue on the side had long been guarding against his hand, and hurriedly grabbed the plate. Mama He on the side stepped forward. Pick up the little flower that wants to take the plate again. The cooperation between the two is quite tacit, and it is tested at first glance.
Mama He was still busy saying, "Oops." My ninth elder brother, alas, this food can't be left unattended. ”
"Bad guys." Xiaohua puffed out her cheeks and shouted angrily.
The dragon egg is not happy, and actually wants to take these delicious foods for himself? He hasn't said he wants to pack the dragon egg yet, why are you Xiaohua? It's really bold. Long Dan immediately took out his brother's shelf, the little fat face was tense, and he pretended to be majestic: "Xiaohua, be honest, E-Niang said that you can't spoil things casually, if you make trouble again." Be careful, E-Niang knows that she will clean you up. ”
"Yes, yes, Xiaohua, you have to be good." Tuan Tuan echoed.
"Uh-huh" The old seven grass and the eight little trees on the side nodded at the same time.
Not to mention, the words of the dragon egg really worked. The buns usually look forward to the dragon eggs. Except for Shuyun, it is best to talk about dragon eggs, and Kangxi has to go to the back row.
Brother Jiu Xiaohua was a little reluctant, but he still compromised, pouted, and reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
"Xiaohua, my brother will take you to a good place in a while. When you arrive, you can take whatever you want except for food. "For the truth of slapping a sweet date, the dragon egg can actually be self-taught. If Shuyun sees this, he will definitely admire, "The future Yongzheng is different." ”
Ruxue and Mama He next to each other glanced at each other. I don't know what the idea of the dragon egg is beating. Do you really want to go? Or are you coaxing Xiaohua? However, the two of them know a lot about the destructive power of the buns.
Mama He gave Ruxue a look. Ruxue smiled and said, "Fourth Elder Brother, where do you want to go in a while?" Tell the slave. The slave and maid will arrange for someone to take you there. ”
The dragon egg did not hesitate, and said crisply: "Go and ask for a press for Huang Mama." The dragon egg knows the road. No one needs to bring it. ”
Ruxue was afraid that Xiaohua would act recklessly because of the dragon egg's words, so she hurriedly said, "Fourth elder brother." The Queen Mother's things can't be taken casually. If you go, you'll have to look at Brother Jiu. ”
Seeing the dragon egg, he nodded solemnly and agreed. Ruxue and Mama He are relieved. Smile and put away the rest of the snacks.
"Mama, do you want to bring some gifts to Mama Huang?" Long Dan looked at the busy He Mama and asked.
"Hehe, the fourth elder brother is really filial, but the Queen Mother is not lacking anything, and when we entered the palace, the things brought by the concubine were sent early in the morning. So the little masters now just need people to go. ”
Long Dan shook his head and said, "Huang Ma is so good to Long Dan, Tuan Tuan, and her younger brothers, we have to be filial to her." You'll have to bring some more gifts when you go later. ”
Mama He also knows that the dragon egg and Tuan Tuan are really filial, every time they enter the palace, no matter how many things Shuyun brings to the Queen Mother. Both little ones will prepare another gift with their own hands. It's just that this time I left in a hurry. The two of them only brought some preserved fruits, which were much less than usual.
In Mama He's thoughts, the reason why the dragon egg is so insistent may be the reason. Filial piety to elders is a good thing, and of course it cannot be stopped. But there is nothing ready-made. Mama He said with some embarrassment: "However, we sent everything that should have been sent yesterday, and now there is nothing on hand that we can handle." ”
Long Dan frowned, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "That grandma, Aunt Ruxue, can you help Long Dan and his younger brothers and sisters make some delicious food for Huang Mama?" Last time, Huang Mama went to our house and praised our food for being delicious. ”
Some book friends reacted that they couldn't figure out which of the triplets' nicknames corresponded. Therefore, in this chapter and the next few chapters, Xiaoyu will add a certain brother before the nickname. so as to distinguish.
Another: small grass - old seven, small tree - old eight, small flower - old nine.
