Chapter 40: Dragon and Phoenix Sugar Painting

After the two finished eating the wontons, they didn't want to go home, so they wandered aimlessly around the city, and saw a lot of adults and children around in front of a store, and the two also ran over to join in the fun.

"It's a candy man!"

A forty or fifty-year-old man was sitting in front of a candy man stall, with a blue cloth around his waist, holding a shallow spoon, stirring a pot of brown sugar.

In the middle of the stall is a fast white stone slab, on both sides are two yellow wooden boards, the wooden board is painted with the zodiac, and there is a wooden pointer in the middle, you can go to which zodiac, just make the sugar of that zodiac to draw.

Some brought their children to see it and asked, "Uncle, is there brown sugar in this pot?" ”

The uncle said while stirring: "It's not brown sugar, it's maltose." ”

"Oh! The man looked at his child again, "Son, you see, people can make so many animals, you want that." ”

The little boy said in a milky voice, "Daddy, I want the fawn." ”

"Okay, uncle, please make a fawn for the child."

"You fawn want to make a sugar painting, or you have to blow it yourself."

The man asked, somewhat confused, "What do you mean by blowing yourself?" ”

"I'll draw the sugar painting for you on the slate, stick it with a bamboo skewer, and if you blow the candy man, I'll pinch the foundation, and your child will blow it by himself."

"Dad, I'm going to blow the fawn out by myself."

"Then let my kids blow it themselves!"

The uncle put on gloves, took out a piece of maltose from the pot, twisted it a few times, and then let the child blow on a slender and long pipe that he pulled out, and after blowing a few times, a fat and fat deer was formed in the uncle's hand.

The children's eyes stared at the vivid fawn without blinking, envious, and the child held the fawn he blew out, and he also felt that he was very angry.

In my previous life, after I left Xiaogou Mountain, I also saw this kind of stall that made sugar paintings and blew candy people a few times in the lively street market, but at that time I was used to being thrifty, so I only stood and watched for a while before leaving, and I was not willing to buy it at all.

In this life, Xie Qi decided to be kind to himself, and tried to satisfy himself with everything he wanted, "Guan Wei, these little animals, what do you like." ”

"I'll do whatever I want."

"Then let's buy a dragon and a phoenix candy painting!"

The uncle listened to my words and said, "The dragon and the phoenix are the most expensive in the sugar paintings, and they cost a dime." ”

I said, "Okay, we want a dragon and a phoenix." ”

The uncle added a piece of maltose to the pot and began to make a dragon, first making a snake shape and then on the basis of that, constantly adding a trace of sugar, and after a few minutes, a lifelike golden dragon was made.

Guan Wei happily took the golden dragon, and the uncle began to make a phoenix for me again, which was about three or four minutes, and the big phoenix with its wings spread was ready.

I took the phoenix and handed it five cents to the uncle, he found me three cents, and I saw a few children looking at the dragon and phoenix in the hands of me and Guan Wei.

Seeing that they didn't seem to have any money to buy candy paintings, he gave them the three cents change that the uncle had found.

"Take it and sell it!"

Guan Wei saw me like this, so he also took out three cents and distributed them to other children.

When the child saw the little brother and the little sister gave the money to spend, he was so happy that he slapped his face and said loudly: "Thank you, brother, thank you, sister." ”

I pinched the face of one of the little fat men and said, "No thanks," and then pulled Guan Wei away.

I took the phoenix candy painting in my hand and admired it for a long time before I was willing to take a small bite of the tail.

After walking around for a long time, when we passed a slightly remote alley, we found an old man inside, holding an oblong pot in his hand and stirring constantly.

"Guan Wei, look, it seems to be selling fried rice, let's go buy a few bags."

"Good! My grandfather loves fried rice the most, and he was scolded by my grandmother for being a loser! If you have money today, you can buy more and go back to him to eat. ”

It can be fried with rice and corn, and the crispy white fried rice and popcorn come out, but these days, it is still a bit of a luxury to process these two grains into snacks and eat.

The two walked to the old man's stall, and one asked for three bags of fried rice, and the old man said, "Then you stand and wait for a while!" The pot came out right away. ”

The two stood aside and waited silently, and watched the old man leaning on the handle of the black pot, and the other hand kept turning the rice in the pot.

About five or six minutes later, the old man stuffed the pot into the bag, twisted the lid of the pot and slammed it with a loud bang, and white smoke came out of the pot, and the fragrant fried rice came out of the pot.

The fried rice is two or three times more aggressively swelled than the original, and the grains are white and chubby, which is very cute, and the sugar is put in it before frying, and it tastes sweet and crunchy.

Guan Wei opened a bag of fried rice, grabbed a large bag and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it with a squeak, and then grabbed another handful and fed it to Xie Mi to eat.

"It's time for us to go back, too," Guan said.

"Alright! Walk and get in the car. ”

The two of them just walked to the door of the house and found that it was fragrant and fragrant, exuding an attractive smell of meat.

"Grandma, what are you doing delicious food," Xie Mi asked in a raised voice.

"Come in when you're back, you have your favorite intestine and pig's feet today."

"Really!"

"Of course, after you and Guan Wei went to play, your grandfather and I bought a lot of food in the market."

"Guan Wei went to our house for dinner," Xie Qi warmly invited.

"No, no," Guan Wei hurriedly excused himself to leave.

Liu Yinglan was at the kitchen window, and also greeted him loudly, "Guan Wei don't go back, just eat at our house, and as she spoke, she came out of the kitchen and pulled Guan Wei into the hall to sit with her granddaughter." ”

"I've already marinated the large intestine, and when the cake is steamed, you will eat a few braised large intestine burritos first, and I will boil the pig's feet with white radish sauerkraut, and it will be good immediately."

When the pig's feet were rotten, Liu Yinglan began to carry the vegetables out of the kitchen one by one, and the brightly colored pig's large intestine was broiled.

There are also a few steamed flatbreads, a plate of fried sweet potato leaves, a plate of fried celery, a plate of bitter cabbage pickles, and a pot of boiled white and soft pig's feet.

"Guan Wei, come and eat."

Xie Mi moved the bench to Guan Wei, and saw his grandfather smoking a shisha at the door, "Grandpa, come to dinner, don't smoke." ”

Xie Shan said: "I'll take two more bites." ”

"The old man Xiaoming hasn't come back yet, you go look for him."

"I'm going to look for him, he doesn't know where to go home!"

As soon as Xie Shan's words fell, he saw his grandson running home dirty.

Xie Ming, who rushed into the hall, looked at the pig's feet and large intestine on the table, and was about to grab and eat it, but was slapped on the back of his hand by Xie Mi.

"Wash your hands, your hands are so dirty, just grab vegetables and eat them, and others won't eat them."
