Humorous peddling

? Xia Gaizun

Living in the city, from morning till night, from night to night, I don't know how many kinds and times to listen to Hawking. The sound of selling flowers in the deep alley has been included in poetry, which is of course full of poetry and painting. Unfortunately, we seldom hear it now. "Tea eggs", "rotating zongzi" and "lotus seed porridge" on a cold night. The voice is Sandy. Nine times out of ten, it seems to be the throat of an old gun. It's very sad to be trapped in bed. Almost every kind of hawking has a special mood.

I found two kinds of humorous writers among these vendors.

(3) One sells stinky tofu. Every afternoon at five or six o'clock, stinky tofu dries its shoulders and rests or walks in the alley. At one end of the burden is an oil pan, and stinky tofu is fried in the oil pan, which smells bad. The seller shouted "stinky tofu!" "Stinky tofu!" Calm down.

I think it is very interesting. To tell the truth, selling fake drugs and selling dog meat are common problems in the world. What incense calls is often smelly. In fact, the seller of stinky tofu does not deceive the public, claiming to be "stinky tofu" and taking "stinky" as the slogan. The actual goods really stink. Match words with deeds, worthy of the name, so don't deceive others, I'm afraid the world will never find it again! I think.

5 "stinky tofu!" This call, in this fraud-ridden world, is a strong irony of cynicism!

6. There are also the cries of selling newspapers rising from the dark clouds. The newspaper sellers there are different from other places. There are no teenagers. They are old gun beggars in their 30 s and 40 s, as thin as cured duck, with deeply messy hair and a dusty face. They look like ghosts. You can't see them in the morning. They always sell evening papers. When you pass there by tram at night, you will hear the sound of sand selling newspapers.

It seems that they sell two copper coins, such as New Evening News and Times Extra. Hawking's method is very special. They don't call it "the XX newspaper just published", but relate the price to important news headlines. They always start with "two coppers", followed by the words "I want to see", then the topic of national affairs that day, and then the words "which". "Two coppers depend on the 19th Route Army rebelling against the Central Committee!" That's what they called it when the Fujian Incident resumed. "Two policemen want to see the missing Japanese vice consul in Nanjing!" That's what they called it when the Tibet incident started.

In their cry, any national event can be seen for two coppers. It seems that any national event is only worth two copper coins. Every time I hear it, I always feel deeply cold and funny.

Pet-name ruby "stinky tofu!" "Two coppers should see XXXX!" Both kinds of vendors are humorous. The former seems to be high-spirited and like a sophisticated gentleman; The latter seems to despise everything, like a cynical hermit.

In life, we often hear all kinds of Hawking, but seldom find humor in them, because we lack the eyes to find humor. Please contact the reality, talk about the humor you find in your life and books (attention is distinguished from low taste), and give examples. (3 points)
