Childhood and eating
Childhood memories on the tip of the tongue
greediness is the nature of every child. For children, eating is probably a way for them to know the world. When I was a child, as long as I had a little spare money on hand, I couldn't help but drill into the store.
the snacks bought in the store at that time are:
Tang monk meat: it is actually preserved fruit, sour and sweet. I saw on the Internet two days ago that there was a kind of spicy gluten also called Tang monk meat, but I don't remember eating them.
Immortal elixir: forget the name, it is called xx Dan and so on, the shape is dark brown round pill, each mung bean size, tastes a bit like Hawthorn taste;
jelly beans: you can only eat them when you get an injection. When I was a child, I was afraid of pain, and when I was injected, I refused to honestly pout my buttocks for a shot. When adults were comforted, they always said, "it doesn't hurt!" I'll give you some jelly beans after the call. No pain is deceiving ghosts, jelly beans are really sweet;
Fruit peel: in fact, it is Hawthorn slices;
Instant Noodles: instant noodles are quite extravagant for us when we were young, which costs 50 cents a bag. our sister and brother will occasionally buy a bag and share it, you will eat a pinch, I will not have one pinch, three or two times, of course, it will not be enjoyable. At first, we only sold Beijing instant noodles and Nande instant noodles, Nande instant noodles are suitable for dry eating, very crisp, probably what seasoning is added to the noodles, it tastes spicy and spicy, while Beijing instant noodles should look a little more leather. But whether it is Beijing instant noodles or Nande instant noodles, we usually eat them directly, and from the bottom of our hearts, we think they are very delicious. Often after the noodles are finished, the seasoning in the bag will be eaten for several days, pour a little into the palm of the hand, you can lick it with the tip of your tongue, or you can eat it with steamed bread, which is also a rare delicacy. There is also a kind of Tianfang instant noodles, which I have only seen on TV. the advertisement shows two children lying on the table eating instant noodles, and then the picture of Tianfang instant noodles rotates from small to big, with a female voice saying, "Tianfang, Tianfang, counting days, it tastes delicious." finally, the two children gave a thumbs-up to the screen happily. At that time, I was very curious. I didn't know if it was as delicious as she said, but it was a pity that I had never eaten it once in reality.

there are many other things, but because of the long time, my memory has become very blurred. Of course, because the family was very short of money at that time, we bought very few snacks, and the ones who really ate more were either gifts from my father or sister when they came back from work, or wild animals found in the fields.
when I was born, my eldest sister was already in her teens. In her childhood appearance, my mind is blurred, I can remember, she has been a big girl, dropped out of school to work outside. Every time we call back, we always go through most of the village to talk to her at her (Dad's cousin)'s house. I miss her because she always brings us a lot of delicious food, fried broad beans and spiced peanuts when she comes back. A lot of them are things we have never seen in the village. In particular, spiced peanuts (I'm not sure is the name, with a shell), particularly delicious-into the mouth, a chew, salty sweet twining, that taste, like a touch of haze around people, the tip of the tongue seems to be about to give birth to a new world. At that time, when I was at school, I would always grab a handful and tuck it in my pocket. I couldn't help it, so I took out one and peeled it off and put it in my mouth. I was always reluctant to chew it right away, and I always had to suck it up and hold it in my mouth for a while. Such delicious food, of course, to show off in front of other friends, but their own drooling, but in their face is at a loss: delicious? What kind of food is delicious? It's just peanuts! It's not like I haven't eaten before! So, in order to give them personal feelings and make them really envy me, they had to take out one for them to taste, and stared at them wide-eyed: "what do you think?" Isn't it delicious? "
when they drooled and looked forward to waking up, they said, "mm-hmm, it's really delicious!" At that time, the whole little heart also got great satisfaction. However, no matter how delicious it is, it's no use. I don't want to give it any more. When I think about it now, it was really bad at that time.
after the third sister goes to junior high school, she often brings back delicious food on Sundays, such as Hawthorn slices, spicy gluten, spicy beans, chocolate beans. The most impressive is the cat's ear, which is also a delicacy that has never been eaten before. Look at it, one piece at a time, curling up slightly at the edge, just like an ear. They were tawny and not very conspicuous at first glance, but they had a different taste when they came into their mouths: hard, crisp, a bite, a bang, fragments spattering every corner of the mouth, chewing, the scalp crackled, the hair stood upside down, and every pore was open. People can't help but close their eyes, take a deep breath and sigh: Oh, how delicious!
and mulberry fruit. In fact, it is not a rare thing to talk about, but it is also very memorable because of the lack of each grab. At that time, the place away from my house was a pit, which we called the back pit. The Jian x mentioned earlier lives on the edge of the back pit. There is a mulberry tree behind his house, the mouth of the cup is thin, and in summer, it often bears large and small mulberry nuts, such as showers, which often make the children wander. It is precisely because there are many people and few fruits that there are few years that you can really eat. Most of the time, when you go to have a look, the trees are all green, and you can easily think about how many of them should be ripe in the past few days, but when you go to see them again, they have already been robbed by others and picked them away. Only once, everyone seemed to forget it. The third elder sister and I stood under the tree. The sun shot down through the green leaves and shone on the purple mulberry fruits, making them look more delicate and beautiful. In the afternoon heat, it seemed that there were grains of water and a trace of coolness, so I couldn't help picking the branches next to them and putting them into their mouths in a joyful way.?. That bag of cold, that wisp of sweetness, that burst of acid then splashed and dared to squeeze together endlessly, swollen people's mouth. InIt was picked and eaten again, and after a while, his mouth was full of purple and black, only similar to monsters. It was the first time I had a good time. Later, my teeth were so sore that I couldn't eat any more, so I picked a handful of them and just went home.

talking about this, I can't help but think of the sorbet I ate during the wheat harvest season. At that time, the hot air between heaven and earth was unbearable, which was clearly what it looked like in the middle of summer. We wear bamboo hats and sickles in hand, and after looking at each other for a long time, the golden wheat has removed the attractive layer of golden yellow, leaving only dust-rough yellow, dry, monotonous, endless. So he raised his head, licked the cracked mouth, spit sticky phlegm, looked around, only felt the wilderness and indifference of heaven and earth, and fumigated. The feet of the clouds moved slowly, and the poplar leaves on the ground shook sparsely, shining like the light of a stream. Drilled monkeys (a kind of bird, I don't know its scientific name, may also be called the son of Heaven, only appeared during the wheat harvest season. I like to drill straight into the sky when I fly, unlike other birds flying around the world, and dripping all over the world like other birds, and flying all the time.) the call was like a bell sprinkling people all over their ears and wiping the sweat on their foreheads. And the clothes on his body have long been drenched and affixed to his back and belly.
from a distance, I saw the popsicle boy coming, pushing a slightly dilapidated bike with a square wooden box on the back seat, with several popsicle plastic bags on it, hunting in the sun. So the cool air immediately came from the unknown emptiness and swam away against the human skin. He took the ticket handed over by his mother or sister, went to him and saw him lift the wooden lid, and a real chill came on him. When the popsicle came into the mouth, I only felt a chirp, and the heat crumbled like dry skin (although they came back soon, but it was always good for a moment). I don't remember the specific taste of the popsicle, but I just want to be cool. It's also reminiscent of it.

and cool tofu is also very delicious. It was mostly in the morning when the old man carrying the burden of tofu shouted, "cut tofu." Cut tofu. " He began to shout the word "cut" in a very high and long tone, and the word "tofu" behind it was dragged slowly, and finally slipped out like two beads. Take a bowl of soybeans in a white porcelain bowl and go out to see the old man who sells tofu uncover the dark yellow cloth that covers the tofu. In the morning air, the tofu looks white and tender because of the reflection of everything, and it is still steaming with a trace of heat. At this time, the old man scratched the tofu block horizontally and vertically with the thin blade, and the tofu was cut, and then he broke it with his hand and grasped it into the scale, holding the weight one minute at a time. At this time, he looked at our greedy eyes through the weighing pole, curled his lips and smiled, and said to his mother, "would you like a cool tune?" Children want to eat! " Sometimes, when my mother saw that we were really greedy, she would satisfy us for once. Look at the mother agreed, the tofu seller is also very happy, so that his tofu will also sell some more. So he cut the tofu into small pieces of the same size, put it in a bowl, took the homemade chili sauce from the handlebars, and poured it on it. The chili sauce is so hot that it looks even more gorgeous against the fresh white tofu, which makes people drool as soon as they see it. Of course, it is also very delicious.
and popcorn. Popcorn can be called a grand event in the village, and almost half of the people in the village will participate, especially those with children, because every family has corn, and it doesn't cost much money to satisfy the children's appetite for many days. adults are happy to grab some corn to satisfy the cravings of the children, and at the same time, they also give themselves a pleasure when there is no living weather to kill time. The scene of popcorn has also been written many times before: I saw a craftsman shaking a gourd-like iron stove in one hand and a purring blower in the other. The wind blowing from the inside blew the small flames under the iron stove like weeds growing in clusters of joints in summer, and you squeezed me up, surrounded by adults waiting for popcorn and children drooling. The children were waiting to eat the popcorn that had fallen from the ground, while the adults looked at the black stove pointing and making some dirty jokes.
what impressed me most was the moment when the stove was about to start, when the hairdryer suddenly stopped, and the flame was thin and thin, like a piece of transparent paper, light, as if it did not have any power. At the same time, the craftsman picked up the black stove and put it at the mouth of a long cloth bag. The child screamed in horror and hurriedly covered his ears. On the one hand, he was a little scared, but on the other hand, he wanted to get closer and look good. The craftsman looked, showing a smug smile at the corner of his mouth, with an extremely brave look, and then, with a great force at his feet, a loud bang, a puff of white smoke spread instantly, and there was no time to see more. The children had already swarmed around him, like a flock of chickens fighting for food, and instantly picked up the popcorn that had fallen on the ground. More went into the bag. Look, a piece of golden light and white, against the grayish-brown land, looks brilliant. Take one while it is hot and put it in your mouth. "Ka-chirp" bit down, crisp and soft, full of fragrance. Today, many years later, when I recall it, it still makes me feel that it will last forever.
Children such as popcorn
in addition, in the spring fields, peas are also extremely delicious. The clear pods are only a little bigger than mung beans, but the pods are fat and plump. They rub randomly on the palms of their hands, fill them in their mouths, chew them, and feel green, crisp, and sweet, which is really similar to the streams thawed in spring. Let people often appear in front of a blue sky, below is a green crop, next to a clear Lingling stream, the sun flashes. But it makes people extremelyWhat is depressing is that after getting older, I have never eaten it again, which makes people often seem to have lost a spring.
in addition, the green wheat grains are also very delicious during the wheat heading season. When playing in the field, he picked up a few ears of large and full wheat, then rubbed them in the palm nest several times, and the wheat was separated from the wheat bran and blew away the blue wheat bran. The wheat grains were piled in the palms of the hand, green, full and large, and the saliva was unconsciously spilled out in the mouth. So open the mouth, swallow the whole mouth, a fragrance filled the nostrils, a bite, the grains of wheat will be like droplets of water, a little powerful and broken, flow out of some sweet juice, at the same time, the fragrance has become more prosperous. At this time, white butterflies were flying one by one over the green wheat fields, the wind blew their foreheads slightly, and a swallow chirped as it passed overhead.
because the weather is getting hot and sweating too much, we often bring a bottle of boiled water from home when we go to school. But the taste of boiled water is so weak that it is difficult to swallow. We often buy some fast candy at the small shop (I don't know what its name is, white, and its shape and size are a bit like grains of rice). There are about a dozen of them in a bag. Squeeze two of them in a water bottle and shake them violently. When the sugar is granulated, the water tastes sweet and delicious. We are so greedy for that sweetness that we often can't help drinking one sip after another, and it takes us a while to finish a bottle of water. Later, when he was thirsty again, he had to look for well water to drink in the village outside the school. when drinking, the warm water refused to drink, so he had to press it on the well a few more times, and when the cool water was pressed out, he lay down on the iron mouth of the effluent and took turns to drink to his full. some of the well water was sweet and also very delicious. Sometimes, on the way to school, we peel the wheat and don't eat it right away, but throw it all into the boiling water with quick sugar. after soaking in boiling water, the wheat will become fuller, and the sugar water will also bring the fragrance of wheat. But the wheat didn't taste as fresh as it had just been peeled off. On the contrary, it had a turbid air.
