Volume 1: Entering the WTO at the beginning of the year Chapter 31 Fireworks in the World (1)
"Flower spirit roll! Flower Spirit Roll! Tao Qian, led by Chen Wan'er, went to the "Shede Street" in the south of the city, and heard the hawkers' shouting.
Chen Wan'er led Tao Qian to walk in the bustling crowd, and said: "This street is called Shede Street, my great-grandfather was because of the oppression of the people by his youngest son, and my great-grandfather personally cut off one of his fingers here in order to win the trust of the people, as a reparation. ”
Tao Qian listened carefully, and sighed that this street still has such a history, Shanglin City really has a long history, and the Shanglin Chen family is quite popular with the people.
While talking, the two came to the hawker stall that had just been sold, and the hawker saw that the two of them had extraordinary temperament, and immediately smiled and said: "Yo, two distinguished guests, come here for a few flower spirit rolls!" ”
Tao Qian couldn't help but wonder: "Flower Spirit Scroll? ”
Chen Wan'er covered her mouth and chuckled: "Boss, my relative is from afar and doesn't know the customs of Shanglin, so you might as well introduce him." ”
When the peddler heard this, he smiled even more happily: "That's right, the little brother came from afar, so I should naturally introduce it." This flower spirit roll is a long time ago, an old woman named Hua Ling mixed and steamed with nectar and flour, the taste is sweet, with sweetness, so it is called Hua Ling roll, and then it slowly became our Shanglin people have to eat breakfast every day! ”
Speaking of this, the boss picked up a flower spirit roll and continued: "Little brother, look, this is the flower spirit roll made of rose nectar, this rose, the flowers are bright red, and the nectar is sweet, it is the earliest material used to make the flower spirit roll, and it is also the flower spirit mother-in-law chose to use at the beginning. ”
Tao Qian listened to the introduction, and sure enough, this flower spirit scroll is as white as jade in appearance, with a hint of bright red lines embellished, and the whole is like a towel rolled up, looking delicate and lovely, and the steaming appearance is very attractive.
The boss picked up another flower spirit scroll and said with a smile: "Look at this again!" At the beginning, there was only this rose flower spirit roll, and then slowly there were all kinds of nectar made of rolls, you see I hold this in my hand is made of sunflowers, this sunflower petals are golden, the nectar is fragrant and sweet, and the flower spirit rolls are also very delicious! ”
Tao Qian looked over, this sunflower flower spirit scroll was really as the boss said, a sweet and sour fragrance into the nose, and a yellow deer was painted on the white body, which looked particularly exquisite. Tao Qian couldn't help but say: "The boss introduced it well, it's simple and clear, bring me a few!" ”
As soon as he heard that the little brother in front of him wanted to buy it, the boss immediately grinned, smiled very happily, and hurriedly picked up a few hot flower spirit rolls in his hand, put them in a paper bag, and then put a few thin wooden skewers in them, and handed them over. Tao Qian took it and sniffed it, and the strong fragrance of flowers and pasta came to his nose, and he couldn't help but smile.
The boss also spoke: "Guest officer, you came from afar, and I will give you a few of the most classic flavors and eat them while they are hot!" ”
Chen Wan'er has been watching with a smile on the side, and at this time she also took out a hundred quilts from her pocket and handed it over, and the boss hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Miss has tormented me, I don't want so much money."
According to the price, these flower spirit rolls are only three or four quilts, which are naturally not worth so much price, but Chen Wan'er didn't care and said: "Boss, take it, just the hard money you introduced." ”
As soon as Chen Wan'er said this, the boss hesitated, took the hundred quilts, and then packed a few flower spirit rolls, and then handed them over: "The guest officer is generous, but I am ashamed to receive it, and there is nothing to reciprocate, I can only give you two more rolls, just thank you for your generosity!" ”
Chen Wan'er took it and thanked her, Tao Qian also thanked her on the side, and left the stall, and the boss behind her happily put the quilting into the bag, thanked the two who left, and continued to sell: "Flower spirit rolls!" Flower Spirit Roll! ”。
On the way, Tao Qian ate a flower spirit roll in his mouth, and a strong nectar fragrance spread in his mouth, mixed with the unique grain aroma of pasta, and the taste swirled in his mouth for a long time, with a long aftertaste.
"It's delicious!" Tao Qian exclaimed.
Chen Wan'er smiled on the side and asked, "Shanglin City is good, right?" ”
Tao Qian ate another one and said with a smile: "Very good, very good, it's just that my sister can't spend so much money next time." ”
Chen Wan'er shook her head and said, "The boss will introduce you warmly, and I will give him generosity and have a good time, after all, take your brother and you have a good look, but it's my task!" At the end, he smiled playfully.
Tao Qian also laughed, and the next moment he said on a whim: "It's better like this, if my sister is not too troublesome, I will introduce my brother in person." ”
Chen Wan'er immediately replied: "Of course it's good, I'm still afraid that my godbrother will think I'm verbose!" ”
Tao Qian shook his head: "How come, I can't ask for it!" ”
Chen Wan'er was talking and laughing with Tao Qian walking down the street, and from time to time she met fresh things that Tao Qian had never seen, so she stopped to introduce them in detail.
Shede Street is very long, there are a lot of stalls, the business is lively, people come and go is very prosperous, the two walked to a stall, this is a sticky candy painting stall.
Tao Qian watched with interest as the old man in the stall held an iron spoon, scooped out a spoonful from the hot honey next to it, and then tilted slightly, moving back and forth with his bare hands on a white board, viscous sugar water flowed down from the edge of the spoon, following the old man's movements and wrist control, forming lines on the white board, the lines gradually formed outlines, and then filled with sugar water in some places, and after a while, a lifelike little monkey appeared on the whiteboard.
The old man was unhurried, pulled out a wooden skewer from the bag next to him, and put it on the painted little monkey, the wind blew back and forth a few times, the sugar water cooled down, and the boss used a small spatula to gently shovel the edge of the sugar painting away from the whiteboard, and then with a force on his wrist, the sugar painting was intact and separated from the whiteboard, firmly glued to the wooden skewer, which looked crystal clear under the penetration and refraction of the sun, and it was very good-looking.
The old man handed the little monkey to the child who had been waiting for a long time, and the child jumped up excitedly as soon as he took it, and then took his mother's hand, stretched out his little tongue and licked the little monkey and walked towards other places with a smile.
Tao Qian had been watching curiously as the old man finished making a whole little monkey, and was fascinated by it, when Chen Wan'er's voice came from his ears: "How is it, is it interesting?" ”
Tao Qian nodded: "What an interesting skill!" ”
Chen Wan'er threw a few strands into the money bag in front of the old man, and asked Tao Qian, "What do you want to paint?" ”
Tao Qian thought for a while, then his eyes lit up, and he said, "Then draw a sister!" ”
Chen Wan'er was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay, you, make fun of me, then I'm going to draw a godbrother!" ”
So the two looked at each other and smiled, and told the old man what he wanted, and the old man smiled lightly, held a spoon in both hands, scooped out the sugar water each, glanced at the two of them, and then lowered his head and drew with both hands at the same time. Tao Qian was shocked, this old man's single-mindedness is very good!
At this time, Chen Wan'er introduced: "This sugar painting, it is said that it was painstakingly studied by an old wise man in the past, he boiled sugar into sugar water, made puppies and kittens with sugar water, and sold them on the street, which was widely welcomed by children, so many people came to learn this skill, and the old wise man was not stingy and taught them, so it was passed on to this day." ”
Tao Qian nodded while listening, and finally said: "It's been a long time, my brother has seen it today!" ”
While talking, the old man had already drawn a sugar painting of the two, and when he picked it up, it was lifelike, not to mention, but even with a little demeanor, his facial features were exquisite, and even his clothes were restored.
Tao Qian took the sugar man and exclaimed: "The old man is really good!" ”
The old man laughed and said, "The old man has been painting for fifty years, and he is familiar with it!" ”
Tao Qian admired it even more, and couldn't help but sigh: "If you learn a skill, you will be a master if you learn it for a lifetime!" The juniors have learned," he said, and bowed. The old man stroked his beard gently, and after receiving this gift, Tao Qian took the candy man and Chen Wan'er and left.
The freshly baked sugar man still has some residual warmth, Tao Qian picked up Chen Wan'er's image, bit it gently, "click", the corner of the sugar man's dress was bitten off, and slowly melted in the mouth, the sweet taste rolled in the mouth, and the solid sugar gradually turned into sugar water, flowing through the throat and into the stomach, but the sweet taste did not go away for a long time.
Chen Wan'er saw that Tao Qian had eaten herself, and she also took a bite of the sugar man in Tao Qian's image, and the two "ate" each other little by little.
Further on, it became more lively, with people gathering around to watch something, cheering loudly from time to time, even in the bustling streets, the scene was quite eye-catching.
Tao Qian was curious and asked, "Sister, what's so lively in front of you?" ”
Chen Wan'er looked over, rolled her eyes, and replied, "If you go, you will know!" ”
So Chen Wan'er ran forward one step ahead of Tao Gan, Tao Qian was stunned, hurriedly chased after him, and shouted in his mouth: "Sister, wait for me!" ”
