"Sugar Man" was born 600 years ago

The grandfather of the candy blowing man is Liu Bowen. It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang built www.biquge.info a "Meritorious Pavilion" to burn down the meritorious heroes in order to pass on his throne from generation to generation. Liu Bowen escaped by luck and was rescued by an old man who picked up the burden of candy, and the two changed clothes, and since then Liu Bowen has been incognito and walks the streets and alleys every day with the burden.

In the early years, people who made this kind of livelihood walked the streets and alleys with their burdens, and they were indispensable in markets and temple fairs.

At one end of the burden is a small cabinet, the size of a bedside table, with a rectangular wooden frame nailed to both sides, and a short rope is tied to a copper ring in the middle of the frame, which is used to wear the flat pole. On the counter is a wooden plate, on which are painted with a radial shape from the center of the circle to the outside, and on it are written "gourd", "big rooster", "Guan Gong", "monkey", and so on. There is a rotating rod fixed in the center of the wooden disc in the spool, the length is a little shorter than the diameter of the wooden disk, and there is a small needle hanging from the top of the rotating rod, when the rotating rod stops rotating, the small needle points to which grid, which prize will be won, the larger the prize, the narrower the grid, the lower the probability of hitting, the largest grid is four words: two jelly beans, the jelly beans are smaller than the Go pieces. There is a drawer under the wooden plate, and when pulled out is a marble slab, which is used to draw the candy man. There is a hole in the upper right corner of the cabinet for inserting straw handles, and the candy figures that are blowing or painting are inserted into it.

The other end looked similar, but there was no panel, just a small charcoal stove with a copper pot boiling syrup, and a few drawers for ingredients, tools, bamboo sticks, and charcoal.

A lot of craftsmen are both candy blowers and candy figures. Compared with the blowing candy man, painting the sugar man is simpler, first rub it gently on the marble slab with linoleum, scoop a little syrup on a very delicate small copper spoon, and slowly flow out with the syrup slightly oblique, and then the hand goes up to become a sugar line, with the wrist up and down left and right to fly, one by one or people or animals or flowers appear on the marble slab, wait to cool and set, use the syrup on the sugar man to point two points, the bamboo stick is pasted upwards and picked it up, and then the grass handle is inserted into the finish.

Gu Wuming was the smallest and his body was thin, but his strength was not small, and he squeezed to the front through the gap between the children, and at this time, the owner of the stall happened to make a monkey diarrhea, put it on the board, stretched out his left hand and showed three fingers; "Thirty-one, the number is limited, if you want to buy it quickly......"

The boss is a middle-aged man, who looks like a tiger, but there is a sinister force between his eyebrows, as if he has been in contact with something like a ghost for a long time, so he will look like this.

"I want to ......"

"I want to ......"

Several older children began to compete for the monkey. Monkey syrup is the favorite one of the children among the sugar people, it is made of maltose into a monkey, the syrup is poured into the monkey's empty stomach, and a small sugar basin is pinched under the monkey's buttocks, and then a small spoon is blown and handed to the child. Poke the monkey's buttocks with a spoon, and the syrup flows into the sugar bowl. After playing, the child can eat the syrup and sugar bowl one by one.

This is a boutique among the boutiques, there is no child who doesn't like it, like Gu Wuming, a shy child in the bag, when he saw it, although he had no money, he also enjoyed it with his eyes.

In the end, the monkey was bought by one of the oldest boys, and the rest of the children looked at the stall owner expectantly, hoping that he would blow another one, but the other children were disappointed that the stall owner did not blow it.

"Haha, it's not early, it's time for me to go home......"

As he spoke, the stall owner began to pack up his things, as if he really wanted to go home.

The remaining children looked at the boss with a disappointed face, but they refused to leave, Gu Wuming was still among them, his mind was that he hoped that the boss would see that he was pitiful and could give him a charity, but this idea was about to be shattered.

After the stall owner packed up his things, he looked at the group of children in front of him, and his heart blossomed, "I'm going to make a fortune now, if I trick these children into going to the back mountain to give that evil old man...... Taking advantage of oneself is definitely indispensable...... Hey hey ......"

The boss looked at this group of children, not like he was looking at the children, but like looking at a batch of goods, and he was still laughing in his heart.

"Hmmm......"

The stall owner pretended to think, and then began to speak; "Haha, it's really late today, the lights here are very insufficient, I don't think it's as good as this, I live not far ahead, if you want it, why don't you go home with me, then I'll make one for each of you, you see how it ......"

Although this group of children is a little naïve, but when they heard the boss's words, they all began to hesitate, after all, it was already dark, and the boss said that his home was not far away, and they didn't know how far it was.

On the one hand, the monkey was expected to be strained, and on the other hand, he was worried that he would return home late, which made the remaining children hesitate.

"Uncle, I want one of those little monkeys, but ...... I don't have any money......"

A crisp sound rang out as the group of children hesitated, but the voice became smaller and quieter the farther back the stall owner was hardly heard if it weren't for the good ears of the stall owner.

"Hehe, it's okay, a sugar man doesn't have much money, my uncle is just selling it here for some strength money, but if you come to my house, I can make one for you for free......"

When the stall owner heard this, he looked at the child who was talking, and found that the child was only less than three or four years old, so he laughed and coaxed him.

"Really?"

This kid is none other than Gu Wuming, and when he heard the boss's words, he asked excitedly.

The child's innocence is innate, a child of Gu Wuming's age is generally still nursing in his mother's arms, and he will come out to walk around by himself!

"Of course, if your uncle lied to you, then your uncle is a puppy......"

The stall owner continued to coax.

"Great, uncle, then I'll go with you......"

Gu Wuming was very happy when he heard this, he didn't expect that the pie in the sky would catch up with him, and if he was unhappy, it would be fake! However, he is walking towards a trap, which Gu Wuming of a child will not know.

The rest of the remaining children, some of whom hesitated, agreed; "Then let's go too......"

At this time, the stall owner couldn't close his mouth happily, and his mouth full of big yellow teeth was directly exposed, which made people think of Huang Shiren, and the children in front of him were just like Yang Bailao. (To be continued.) )
