He asked me: Is there nothing between people except money?
I can't answer, just say, I understand.
I secretly tortured myself, is this real life? Maybe it really is.
Have some beer with your indebted brother, be happy after getting drunk, and let your mood plunge into this complicated street scene!
Walking back all the way, I accidentally saw a Tang Hua stall on the side of the road, next to the door of a lobster restaurant, which attracted my attention. Suddenly reminds me of the sweet taste of childhood. When I was a child, there was always such a Chinese in Tang Dynasty on the roadside. At the turning point of fifty cents, he turned to the design of the Chinese zodiac, and he painted on the smooth marble board with melted maltose. The painted zodiac animals are lifelike, and finally they are glued to the paintings with bamboo sticks. The children took the painting and ran away contentedly. Or just give 20 points, and he will draw a simple circle. The next day, if you ask your parents for fifty cents, you have to transfer another one. After growing up, I haven't seen such an artist from Tang Hua for a long time. Where did they go?
I am an unemployed person at the bottom of society, but I have always been curious about these street things. Although what you see and hear are the stories of street performers, the good humanity is not different because of one's occupation. Often many ordinary people have noble personality and humanity.
There is a sign of "Intangible Cultural Heritage" in front of this booth in Tang Hua. I never knew that the fifty cents "back stall" when I was a child turned out to be an intangible cultural heritage, so I wanted to get close to this Chinese in Tang Dynasty.
Mentally, last night, I sat in front of this booth in Tang Hua.
My boss, who is nearly 50 years old, asked me what my last name was, and he thought it was "not bad"
I asked: What does this mean?
He said: He, my last name is He, and he is "OK".
Soon, I found that he was talkative, and this talkativeness was unintentional. His enthusiasm touched me.
I said: You love your job very much.
He said: Yes, I am the boss, and I am engaged in culture.
His family is descended from Tang Hua. He is the fourth generation. It can be seen that Tang Hua's craft is first a means of earning a living, and then an intangible culture. Besides Tang Hua, he also sells cotton candy, grape-flavored strawberries and various handmade maltose. Whenever someone looks at it, they say: this is pure natural food, without pigment and food additives.
Maltose has different tastes. Generally, buyers have several bags in buy buy.
Nowadays, these traditional handicrafts are rarely seen in the street. Generally speaking, when a child passes by, he will shout to buy cotton candy or Tang Hua. Parents will promise that Tang Hua will still turn in circles, and he will draw the pattern he turned to. Inner ring pattern 10 yuan, outer ring pattern 15 yuan. Another guest directly asked by name, "You draw me a pig Maggie handle", and he could draw it.
When I was a child, I always saw such craftsmen on the street. When I grew up, I disappeared for a long time and asked him: Where have all these people gone?
He said: Don't let it go, it's all moved to the scenic spot.
I said, oh, yes, there is one in front of Beijing, Yuanmingyuan and Summer Palace. It used to be a culture, and it's good to be with scenic spots.
He said: Tang Hua is a southern sect and the north is a sugar blower.
Tang Hua, as its name implies, is a picture made of sugar. I also drew sugar, which is quite edible. Commonly known as "sugar pourer", "sugar pourer" or "sugar lantern shadow", it can be divided into plane Tang Hua and three-dimensional Tang Hua.
It is an authentic folk painting, a distinctive street art and a popular craft food.
According to legend, Chen Ziang, a great Sichuan poet in the Tang Dynasty, liked to eat yellow sugar (sucrose) in his hometown, but he ate it differently. A generation of gifted scholars will melt the sugar first, pour all kinds of small animals and flower patterns on the clean and smooth desktop, hold them in their hands after solidification, enjoy themselves while eating, and feel elegant and refined.
Later, Chen Ziang went to the capital Chang 'an to study and asked for an official position. Because he just arrived in Beijing, he just became a small official. When I have nothing to do, I will do the same thing with yellow sugar brought from my hometown to kill my leisure time. One day, Chen Ziang was admiring his "works". Who knows the eunuch in the palace passed by with the little prince, who saw the little animal in Chen Ziang's hand and clamored for it. The eunuch asked if these animals were made of sugar, so he asked the prince for some and returned to the palace happily. Who knows, after returning to the palace, the little prince ate all the sugar and cried for it, which alarmed the emperor, so the eunuch had to report it truthfully. After hearing this story, the emperor immediately wrote a letter to Chen Ziang, letting him enter the palace and asking him to perform on the spot.
Chen Ziang melted the yellow sugar, poured a copper coin on the smooth table, glued it with bamboo chopsticks, and sent it to the little prince, who immediately burst into laughter. When the emperor was happy, he blurted out the word "sugar cake", which was the origin of the name "sugar cake". As a result, Chen Ziang was promoted, and the official went to the right.
As a teenager, Ren Xia was generous. At the age of 24, he was a scholar. The above books were highly valued by Empress Wu Zetian, and later he was promoted as the son of heaven to clean up the mess. He dared to speak out in anger, and was once imprisoned for opposing Wuhou's "anti-Party". At the age of 26 and 36, he joined the army twice and had a certain foresight in border defense. At the age of 38, he returned to his hometown because his father was dismissed, and his father died soon after. During the period of mourning in Chen Ziang, Wu Sansi, the powerful minister, ordered Duan Jian of Shehong County to be arrested and brought to justice, and died in prison.
There are more than *** 100 poems, and their poems are magnificent and profound. ? Unfortunately, Chen Ziang, who has "poetic bone", was falsely accused at the age of 38, resigned and returned to his hometown, framed by traitors, and died in prison. He is only 4 1 year old. It's really short of breath. In those days, Chen Ziang climbed up the North Tower of Yu Ji and cried and sang, "Where were those lost times before me? Behind me, where are the future generations? . I think of heaven and earth, there is no limit, there is no end, I am alone, tears fall! " Everyone knows everything today.
Speaking of which, let my thoughts return to the real street. ? This Tang Hua boss is different from ordinary buskers. He positioned himself as a cultural person and the heir of material and cultural heritage. He is very confident. Whenever someone is watching or buying, he enthusiastically introduces the culture of this craft to them. Some children have never seen this Tang Hua, and they don't know what it is, do they? They can't be seen in the street now. No wonder children don't know what it is, so he introduces it to them.
A guest asked: Have you ever been on TV, Hunan Satellite TV?
He said it was on TV.
No wonder people who have been on TV are so eloquent.
Here comes the warm-hearted one. 8: 00 p.m. is the staff meal. He asked me if I was hungry. Do you want to eat some together?
I asked: Is it lobster? He put it in front of the lobster house. )
I want to refuse. I don't eat shrimp.
He said: the staff meal is not lobster.
Well, I really think too much.
I said I ate less, he said I wanted one, and we shared it.
This is really great. I feel very warm and moved to meet such a person when I am not on the journey.
So, he and I, as well as the doorman, each with a rice bowl, sat on the side of the road to eat.
Buy some packages of maltose when guests leave. I said, you should get a business card so that when people want it again, you can send it on WeChat. My suggestion is really great.
Here comes the funny scene. As expected, he asked me how old I was and whether I was married.
Listen to me. He is not married in his thirties, and he thinks it is time for him to spread positive energy.
He first told me about his relationship with his wife:
1, women who want to be friends with me must be friends with my wife first.
2. Respect your wife
3. Take family as the center and career as the starting point.
Be a meaningful person and help others as much as possible.
5, contentment is always happy
6. There are still many good men.
7. I don't understand. I have three cousins in their thirties. How can I not talk about death?
8. Feelings should be managed. I often surprise my wife. Our relationship is better now than when we got married.
We can talk all night.
There are few people who have been on TV, so it can be said that unless they have been with Wang. Although he is simple, many ideas are still very philosophical. He specifically said: A woman who wants to be friends with me must be friends with my wife first.
I feel that his family is happy and his life is happy.
Finally, he said, "In this way, you should try your best to love a man."
I couldn't stop laughing. It's really interesting. The troubles of the day were swept away.
"Do you think it's ok for a woman to chase a man?" He said.
"No", I said, "People should be honest with themselves".
He felt that everything he told me was spreading positive energy, saving older young women and setting an example for his daughter.
Look at his face again. A man with a big earlobe is auspicious, broad-minded and trustworthy. I'll tell you the truth.
If you come to Changsha, in addition to tasting the most famous lobster restaurant "Wenheyou" in Changsha, if you see a Tang Hua stall near the entrance of the restaurant, you can chat with him, buy a Tang Hua, cotton candy, or a few packs of maltose, and find back the fun of childhood, so as to support the few Tang Hua inheritors and this art. Wenheyou has several stores. Maybe you've met him or his brother.
If you are out of town, you want to try handmade maltose without pigment and additives.
He can try it for free in front of his booth, so I tasted one, which is not as sweet as ordinary sugar, but very sweet, very sweet and gentle, suitable for diabetics.
I asked, what is maltose made of?
He said: sweet potato, glutinous rice, malt
Simple packaging, hand-made. He, his craft and maltose have all been on Hunan Satellite TV.
