Chapter 761 The taste of the year is getting stronger
"Yeah, I won't give it to you." Candy is a good thing. Don't underestimate this piece of cow dung candy. It was also a luxury item in the past. At least Li Feng had never seen him wearing candy before he was ten years old. He just went to town.
I saw some candies being sold. There were many kinds of colorful candies, but they were not something ordinary children could eat.
Even if adults are not willing to part with it during the Chinese New Year, only this cow dung candy is cheaper than brown sugar. Although the sweetness is lighter and it is mostly wet and lumpy like a cow pooping. However, the price advantage still makes it a popular choice for people in mountain villages.
It was the most popular kind of candy. Each one was wrapped in yellow-gray cardboard and weighed a pound. Depending on the patient, he would buy two packs and get a dozen eggs. People were very wealthy at that time. When Li Feng was a child, his family would only buy one pack at most during the Chinese New Year.
Li Feng was eating while the adults were watching, and most of the children were secretly pinching a piece while the adults were busy. The taste was a bit burnt and a little sweet, and Li Feng loved to eat it when it melted together into balls of burnt red sugar.
"How pitiful, uncle, I'll give you some cute sweets." The little girl took out a sugar melon seed, which was as white as snowflakes and had not been wiped off. Li Feng shook his head and did not continue. "Haha, thank you, Mengmeng, uncle."
You don’t like sweets anymore when you’re older, so you can eat them yourself.”
"But it's so big, Mengmeng can't bite it." Mengmeng's little face wrinkled, and she was very distressed. The sugar melon seeds were completely hard, and they could only slowly melt and become soft when put in her mouth, but Mengmeng's little mouth couldn't eat them.
Such big sugar melon seeds. Li Feng exchanged small sugar melon seeds as big as glass balls for the big sugar melon seeds in Mengmeng's hand. The sugar melon seeds melt easily, but before they melt, they are absolutely hard. A two-year-old sugar melon seed can be chewed for two hours.
It's possible. It's definitely comparable to a stone. It's light yellow and has a very high viscosity when melted. Li Feng has seen teeth with bad teeth directly stuck to them.
"Bang bang." Mengmeng and Bao Baobao began to fight with the sugar melon seeds. Li Feng handed some to Li Xiaoman. "Don't eat it. My teeth can't bear it. This candy is too sticky."
"Yes, sticky seeds are eaten all the time. When I was a kid, three cents for a candied melon seed as big as a Chinese coin could last me an entire class. One dime would last me a whole morning." Li Feng was in his happiest time at school in the town.
Just chewing a sugar melon seed under the warm sun in winter, but unfortunately you don’t have money to buy it every day. You are the one who is rich now, so I bought half a melon seed for each of you. I will pay you back next time when I have money. Although it is small.
But while eating the sweetness, Li Feng remembered to give a sugar melon seed to the girl in the front row, which made many classmates tease him for missing his wife. This made the little girl cry while eating the sugar melon seeds, and finally he borrowed five points.
He bought one with the money and gave it back to himself. Li Feng couldn't help laughing when he thought of these things. It was so simple when he was a child. He lived happily with half a piece of candy a day.
Roads had not been built at that time, and it was more than ten miles from the mountains to the town. They were running around and having fun all the way. If someone picked up thirty or five cents after school and bought a few cow shit candies for everyone to eat, they could carry the sedan chair at night.
Sit for a while. At that time, I didn't pick up a penny and gave it to the police uncle.
"Try this bubble. It tastes pretty good. Such a big bag only costs five yuan." The bubbles are fried with flour, sugar and dough. Each one is as thick as a cucumber. The outside is yellow and burnt, and the middle is mostly brown.
It is as hollow as white snowflakes and extremely light. When eaten in the mouth, the crispy and sweet flavor is the same as the sweet honey on snowflakes, except that there is no ice or water.
"Well, it's very crispy, very delicious, and the price is very cheap. Why haven't I seen it in the city?" Li Xiaoman felt that the bubbles were like bananas, except that the outside was charred and dotted with white rust. "
Most of these sweet fruits are fried before the Spring Festival. There are so many good things in the city and supermarkets have everything. But I don’t like to buy these scattered fried things. You are not normal. Try this fruit again.
." Li Feng took out a bag of fruits about the thickness of a milk tea tube and five or six centimeters long.
"Hey, why are they so similar to bubbles? It's just that there are a lot of bubbles and they weigh about the same." Li Xiaoman saw the problem at a glance and Li Feng nodded. The two are really the same model, but the things added at the end are different.
Same, two different states. Li Feng introduced several things to Li Xiaoman along the way. Baobao, Mengmeng, and Lingdang were just responsible for eating, and their mouths did not stop all the way. Li Xiaoman said several times
, but with so much delicious food, how could the three little girls stop. Li Feng returned home and sorted out the glutinous rice cakes. Li Feng bought so many cow dung candies and even made his mother Zhang Lan murmur. "This kid, these
The sugar tastes a bit burnt, and no one buys it now."
"Haha, Xiaobao has the same taste as me. These cow dung candies are more delicious than granulated sugar when used to make glutinous rice cakes. They use sesame foam, fried peanuts and lotus seeds, walnut foam and cow dung sugar. Sprinkled on the glutinous rice cakes, it tastes delicious.
." Grandpa Zhang Tian actually liked to eat a bit of cow dung candy with a bit of a burnt taste. Maybe it was not cooked well, but the cow dung candy also had a faint burnt and bitter taste.
Grandma rolled her eyes at Grandpa and said in a low voice, "This old man is still greedy despite his age. He is not afraid of the children laughing at him."
"What a joke, eating and drinking, there is nothing more important in this life than eating and drinking, don't they say that what you eat is what you eat, baby, what do you think the old lady said, right?" Grandpa teased the three little girls, baby
He blinked his eyes and nodded. He still had something in his mouth now. It was inconvenient to speak. He didn’t know what he said. Li Feng shook his head. He really couldn’t just leave these candies casually and let the children eat them.
There is no moderation.
Li Feng now understood why his parents hid the good things they bought in the past. At that time, they had no money and finally bought something. If he had allowed himself to eat it, he would have eaten it before the Chinese New Year. Li Feng
The family sat under the jujube tree, eating some fruits and glutinous rice cakes that Li Feng bought, chatting, and drinking tea. A brazier was lit under the small table, and three pairs of little feet were set up on the table, not touching each other and giggling.
"Is the whole family here?" Li Feng looked up and saw Li Fuzhen, who was sitting across from Li Kouzi, and said that he wanted to call his aunt. "His aunt, why are you free today? Sit down quickly. Xiaobao, give it to your aunt quickly."
Pour some tea." Zhang Lan quickly got up, and Bao Bao ran into the house ahead of Li Feng and took out his own little teapot. Mengmeng and Lingdang were not to be outdone, and each of the three little guys had a teapot.
"Grandma, drink tea." The baby poured the tea and handed it to Li Fuzhen. The old lady nodded with a smile. "Sister-in-law, whose child is this really sensible? Unlike my grandson who is naughty and doesn't have to pay attention to his bed for three days.
Ah, it made me and his grandpa worried to death. Now it’s better that I’m back and he’s much more honest.”
"Baby, come and call your aunt. This is my granddaughter. There is also an eldest grandson in the province. His aunt, please try the glutinous rice cake you just made. It's still hot." Zhang Lan touched the baby's little head and said
Apart from that, she is talking about her grandson, granddaughter, and so on. The two old people talk about these things most of the time now, such as whose family has a grandson, etc. The parents are divided.
"Haha, I'm not going to eat. There's something else going on. Why don't my in-laws ask me to help with the fans? Sister-in-law, you have a lot of family, what do you think about ten pounds?" Li Fuzhen is not visiting relatives this time.
Visiting friends were looking around, and there was a tractor-trailer of fans parked at the entrance of the village. "The sweet potato flour is all fine flour. This Bu Lao Liu family bought more than ten kilograms." Li Fuzhen said that Lao Liu was really Li Can's father, Li Fengliu.
uncle
"Haha, okay, ten pounds is ten pounds." Zhang Lan didn't say anything. He hasn't bought any fans this year. The price won't be too expensive for acquaintances. I told you that everyone knows them. If the fans are not good, these people won't
If you dare to bring it here casually, the folks in the village will not eat well, and people will say that it will be difficult to see each other in the future.
"Haha, okay, Xiaobao will go with Auntie to carry the fans. Haha, uncle, auntie, please don't get up. Sister-in-law, please don't get up." As soon as Li Feng got up, the three little followers immediately followed. Li Feng came to the entrance of the village.
Li Feng was stunned. There were so many cars today. There were three or four cars parked at the entrance of the village, including tractors, four-wheelers, and three-wheelers.
"Xiaobao, here you go, I was just about to go to your house to find you. Come here, these are your bean cakes. Ten kilograms is enough. I won't let you decorate them." This Li Xiaogao from the west end of Likouzi,
He is young and one generation higher than Li Feng. This guy is pulling a cart of bean cakes and dumplings. Li Feng just arrived and stuffed a pack of bean cakes and a pack of mung bean dumplings.
"That's enough, that's enough. We don't have many people at home, how much does it cost?" What else could Li Feng say? That's what the New Year is all about. All these things are needed, so who should buy them?
"It's okay, just leave it alone." "Bring it, uncle, how much do you think it is." "This kid is worth sixty yuan." "A lot less." "What a small amount for a family." "Haha, old man
Uncle, you are busy, I will go to Auntie's place to get some vermicelli." "Okay, you go." Li Feng was carrying two big buns, and Bao Bao and Mengmeng took Li Feng's hand and shook it. "Uncle, Mengmeng will help you.
Take it." "Yes, the baby should take it too." The bell looked like Meng Meng and the baby had the same expression.
"Okay, don't drop it. It's very heavy." Li Feng casually stuffed the dumplings and bean cakes into the arms of the two children. Not to mention, the two little girls were really good at catching them without dropping them. They just staggered when walking.
Huang. The fans were all tied up in knots. A bundle weighed ten kilograms. Li Li Fuzhen picked up a bundle casually. Li Feng didn’t say anything. Just as he was paying, a four-wheeled vehicle drove up with a load of green onions.
Li Feng was very happy when he saw the man above him, why is he this kid?
"Uncle Can." The baby's face turned red, and he showed a big smile to Li Can who jumped out of the car. "Why did you get so many green onions?" "Don't mention it, my uncle got a truckload of green onions. You have a truckload of green onions at your house."
Could you please help me pack up two bundles?" Li Can finished burning the incense and followed the others back to Diaoshuilou for dinner, but halfway through the meal, his mother called him, not to mention that he had to pick him up when his uncle came.
Who would have thought that they would get so many green onions? A bundle weighs at least fourteen or five kilograms. Two bundles are not too much. Li Feng nodded, and Li Can chuckled and got two bundles. "A bundle weighs fifteen kilograms.
"Thirty, these green onions are quite good." Li Feng took out a fifty sheet and handed it to Li Can. Unexpectedly, this guy stuffed it and took out two bundles. "I don't have any change. I'll give you two more bundles. Hehe."
." Li Feng was happy, this kid. (To be continued)
