Because, we all love to beat the ice too much!

the weather began to show signs of dryness and heat, and before the cicadas called, the glutton in the body had been calling for ice from morning till night. If you haven't eaten a bowl after nightfall, it's really like a year.

I usually call it shaved ice because when I was a child, that bowl of smoothies was indeed dug out little by little. The simple hand ice planer at the end of the cherry meatball is almost my whole primary school time.

when I was in the third or fourth grade, the four-fruit soup sold in several small shops at the school gate was filled with crushed ice, which was the earliest appearance of shaved ice in my memory.

then the soup of Siguo soup is gone, that is, put a little of each of the cooked ingredients in the bowl, and then add smoothies, it is a bowl of summer friends-shaved ice.

the owner of the snack bar always shakes the ice planer tirelessly after school, little by little, bowl by bowl of ground, and the shaved smoothies cover half of the four-fruit soup. The four-fruit soup under the smoothie contains barley seeds, immortal grass, red beans, taro balls, pineapple Dinges, and a spoonful of pretentious honey water (in fact, it may also be saccharin syrup). This is the simplest version.

then there were all kinds of fruits, as well as more expensive ingredients such as lotus seeds. You can order a simple version of a bowl for a few cents, or a deluxe version that can add all the ingredients. When I was in high school, after I had a little more pocket money, I would often pass by the ice shaving shop to stop and eat a portion before going home. at this time, the ice shaving shop no longer had to use the primitive manual ice shaving machine, and there was a more efficient electric ice planer. But it has not yet entered the era of Mein mein ice. This kind of shaved ice with ice shavings will still click at the entrance, which is what shaved ice should look like.

every night during the summer vacation, you can almost meet the whole grade students coming and going in the shaving ice shop, and the shaving ice shop has become the distribution center of gossip news: who finally broke up in the shaving ice shop; who did not agree with each other in the shaving ice shop; who brought the girl today is different from yesterday? most of the first love stories in this small town in southern Fujian are carried out in the shaving ice shop.

when I went to the shaved ice shop with a female classmate I liked, I was not only excited about dating but also worried about being caught. I wanted to find a place in the most corner outside the light area of the light bulb so that I could chat and hide in the dark. You don't have to hide from the relative shyness and embarrassment of familiar classmates.

once after eating shaved ice, we got on our bikes and left, and the girl's bike fell off the chain. At this time, when I was showing my boyfriend's strength, I said, "you come in my back seat and I'll drive you, and I'll ride your bike with one hand and pull your bike with the other."

she looked at me suspiciously: "Ham?" Can you? "

Why not! This kind of skill, which is usually trained a hundred times and only waits for the opportunity to show its talents, is to wait for this moment: "it must be possible!" We are top ten cyclists! "

so it was an Acrobatics-like scene in which I held my bike in one hand, her bike in the other, pedals on my feet, and her in the back, looking effortless. Now it seems to be a move with a high degree of difficulty and high-risk index, but in the era of cycling to and from school, one person with two cars is a necessary skill for boys, followed by a female classmate, which is simply cool and cool.

on such a hot summer night, after arriving downstairs from her house, the performance of the sweaty Acrobatics performers ended. The female classmate felt sorry: "Wow, you are sweating so much, do you want to eat shaved ice to cool down the summer heat?"

"Hello!"

Dress magnificent in our collection of gold bridesmaid dresses . Stop searching from over-priced retailers and buy now.

sure enough, the Acrobatics performance at the Planer soon spread to familiar students. And like many first love stories, that kind of shyness sprouts in the summer and goes nowhere in the summer.

think of the look of the shaved ice shopkeeper struggling to plane the ice, and all the ingredients sparkle in the light, the kind of absent-minded topics that boys and girls talk about in the shaved ice shop are flirting with each other. these are all memories of summer nights in youth, full of youth and humanity.

later, Ruibing continued to upgrade, from a small bowl to a deluxe version that was enough for a few people. The original shaved ice withdrew from the historical stage, with Mein mein ice playing the leading role. Of course, there are various patterns of Mein mein ice, including taro ice, red bean ice, and comprehensive fruit ice, and my favorite is mango ice. Large pieces of mango are covered with the hills made by Mein mein ice and poured with sweet mango jam, which is the taste of signing in every summer now.

the love of shaved ice will not abate even in the cold winter. In the first semester of leaving home and studying in college, I shouted in the group that we must eat mango ice when we went home before the winter vacation. As soon as I put my luggage home, I made an appointment with my friends who had arrived home to eat mango ice. When we went to the cold drink shop, we asked the clerk for mango ice, in exchange for a dazed face: "it's winter, and there's no mango!"

"it doesn't matter, you can use mango sauce!" I just want to eat mango ice. " I won't let go.

the shop assistant looked embarrassed and tried to persuade me to order something else.

"you add mango sugar water! Even if it smells like mango, it's fine! "

"it's so cold, are you sure you want some ice?"

finally, I compromised. There was no mango. After all, I am not Tinker Bell without any door or time machine. I can't make a fresh mango right away. I chose a very large portion of taro round red bean ice. I didn't stop until my lips were numb and the crushed ice melted. Saved a semester of homesickness, now turned into a bowl of shaved ice to be rewarded.

because of the renovation of the city appearance, and also because of the rising rents of shops, those primitive ice shaving shops that could choose their ingredients and feast under dim light bulbs have already closed down one after another, and there are no traces to be found. It was replaced by a dessert shop with exquisitely decorated, brightly lit, and air-conditioned delivery. The young boys and girls who make eyes under the light bulb have already become the red men and women in the city, and those Shen Jiayi in adolescence are also married.

although today's cold drink shops are beautiful, bright, and air-conditioned, I still miss the "whatever you want" hand-shaved ice cream, the Kaz Katz voice, the combinations of different tastes, and the time of chatting in the shaved ice shop.

it's a pity that when the market is full of Mein mein ice, the shaved ice that I once thought I could eat for a lifetime has become a memory.
