Those distant voice essays

Inscription: The voice is really wonderful. We like or dislike a person or a thing, which may start with his voice. And what remains in memory is often some sounds like this, and the longer they are, the clearer they become.

the peddler drum

has a small drum with a handle, and each side is tied with a small mallet with a red line. Just keep shaking it back and forth, and you can make a strong rhythm, simple but crisp sound.

The peddler drum is the best instrumental music in the countryside. Although it is simple and rough, it can beat out the most beautiful and attractive melody. "Wave wave, wave wave", the brisk drums from east to west, from south to north, stirred up the quiet countryside.

A cart is a mobile grocery store, ranging from needle and thread to clothes. Sparrows are small and complete.

hey ... beat drums and gongs. hey

push the car to deliver goods

the things in the car are really good.

notebooks with literacy and learning

pens, pencils, pencil cases

little flowered cloth that girls like, and a thread scarf tied by a young man

You can run fast in a sneaker, and you are not afraid of grinding in a game

.

Drums are always introduced to those immature ears first, and a group of childlike children shout around. The colorful toys and My Sweetie's candied beans are deeply embedded in a pair of clear eyes, so they cling to the skirts of grandma or mother who is always a step behind. And every time adults always scare and scare, they finally have to satisfy their hearts that seem to never be satisfied.

I got my food and fun, but I refused to leave. I followed the peddler around the village until the sound of the peddler's drum went away. Life without a peddler is always so boring, and it is even more boring not to hear the sound of a peddler drum.

When the wings are getting full, when the feet step out of the village land, the peddler drum will never return. There are a wide variety of goods in the market, but without the lure of "making waves, making waves", you can no longer feel the pleasure of shopping happily and easily.

The kind-looking peddler is the best performer in childhood memory, and the peddler drum is a magical instrument, which "stirs the waves, stirs the waves", wakes up the ears, brightens the eyes, and satisfies trivial desires again and again, enriching the barren childhood.

Scissors to sharpen the kitchen knife

"Scissors to sharpen the kitchen knife" is the most infectious cry I have ever heard in my life, but this rhythmic and high-pitched voice can only be searched in my memory now.

In my memory, sharpeners always carry a burden or ride a worn-out bicycle, but they all have a long bench with a grindstone embedded in it. Probably business is excellent, too many knives have been worn, and the surface of the grindstone is deeply sunken. Every village is always shouting through the streets, then just looking for an open area, setting up stalls but waiting for business to come.

when the villagers heard this exciting cry, they gathered around with knives or scissors as if they had received an order. If this situation were today, it would scare the uninformed half to death. And such a hot scene will only happen in the wheat autumn season and the Chinese New Year. The wheat and autumn season is the time for the sickle to show its talents. The sickle edge grinded by the sharpener is extremely fast, and the crops will lie at your feet with a gentle wave. In the New Year, cutting cloth to make clothes and cut window grilles, killing pigs, slaughtering sheep and chopping meat, scissors and kitchen knives will naturally show a new look. It's easy and labor-saving to use. Although there is very little business at ordinary times, you will still hear the screams of the sharpener from time to time.

When I was a child, I was curious, but I never dared to ask. Perhaps I was afraid to see him too busy or so many knives and scissors polished by him. However, in any case, I was always attracted by his shouts, and I always tried to imitate him with my friends at the top of my lungs, but I never reached the realm of sharpening knives. Whenever this happens, the sharpener will straighten up and try to cut the knife with his hands, and then he will laugh at us. We don't know his intention, but we look at the dazzling blade in the sun and "wow" it, making birds and animals disperse.

"Scissors to sharpen a kitchen knife" is a natural melody, which is full of vigor as soon as you hear it, and it can't stand the erosion of time. "Ziqi" didn't die, but "Boya" broke the piano first, which made people regret a lot. I believe "Boya" is also helpless, and the business is getting bleak day by day. No matter how good the "piano skills" are and how many "bosom friends" there are, it is not as important as supporting the family.

When Liu Huan's cheerful, passionate and vivid song floated in the streets, it was somewhat surprising and touched. Fortunately, there is Liu Huan, and only Liu Huan can control it. In his heartfelt singing, the feeling of childhood is enriched and vivid.

Scissors to sharpen a kitchen knife ...

"Bang" suddenly moves me

This topic doesn't seem to be in harmony with the whole, but I think it's the most appropriate one, because what I'm going to write next is popcorn, the traditional popcorn with a hand-cranked converter. With this talk, I believe many people will understand my intention, and perhaps some people have already "slammed" their hearts.

In my memory, people who do this business never need to shout, nor do they need things like peddlers' drums and tofu bangers to attract business, but when the first customer comes to the door, the whole village is shocked with a loud bang like thunder, and all corners can smell that familiar and attractive smell. Therefore, when they came, they went straight to the most idle area in the village and set up a stove, which was often not as good as lighting the fire. The nearby villagers had surrounded them with rice.

This little popcorn is so attractive that even if the children don't shout, adults are tickled. Popcorn is not only delicious, but also more affordable. Only a bowl of rice, only a few cents, can burst into a large dustpan. It is not only cost-effective, but also can greatly satisfy those greedy little greedy worms. Why not? Therefore, the popcorn master is almost busy every time he comes, and sometimes the sharpener happens to come, and the village is as lively as a festival.

At first, the stove was cold and the fire was not very strong, so the first stove was slow, and we children couldn't wait and kept chattering. The master of popcorn is never bored. He always smiles and says, "What a group of greedy cats! Don't forget to stay away for a while. "

We don't need the master to tell us to stay away. Although popcorn is delicious and beautiful, this stove is too scary. Although it is chubby and dark as a popcorn maker, its cry is as frightening as thunder and shooting. Now that I think about the shape of this kind of stove, it really looks like a bomb under the plane head in the movie. No wonder it has such great power.

At that time, I always felt that the master of popcorn was so bold and brave that he must be a strange man, or at least he should have crossed the front and fallen into the array, so his eyes were filled with awe and envy.

"all right!" Just as I was daydreaming, I was startled by the master's cry and hurriedly covered my ears and jumped aside. Watching the master step on the bracket at the bottom of the stove and suddenly open the lid, I only heard "bang!" The smell of popcorn rises and diffuses with the hot air in the furnace, which makes people drool. Before the heat dissipated, we shouted and surged up again, not to compete for other people's rice flowers, but to rob the few grains spilled from the furnace. It seems that the delicious food in the furnace is far from falling outside, even if it has burst, it will not leave until the last furnace. Adults don't pay much attention to it, because this is the child, this is the innocence, and now it is the simple temptation of that era.

"Put golden chestnuts in the pot and turn them into Bai Yuhua", sweet and crisp, beautiful and attractive popcorn has been opened from ancient times to the present, but the deafening, frightening but extremely exciting voice has become a resounding sound, and it is always impossible to taste the true and pure taste of childhood, and it is even less satisfying and warm atmosphere.

"bang!" Here comes the popcorn!

"Zen" means tofu bangzi

I can't remember the year and day, but it's still that the rooster's crow just faded away, still lying in bed, and the familiar voice suddenly sounded far and near. But I always feel that something is wrong, and after a few rings, it seems that there are people shouting.

"bang, bang; Bang, bang; Beans-rot! " When the sound came to my ears, the sound made by the bangzi was many times higher than before, and the shouts were shrill but hoarse. It was strange that there was a constant "squeak" noise in the voice. Just put on clothes and got out of bed to find out, the wife who never sleeps has entered the yard with a plate of tofu, laughing as she walks: "Tofu sellers have changed guns now, just get a horn and get busy weighing it."

hearing his wife's words, he lay down again. As I expected, I felt a little lost in my heart. Just record it. Why are you shouting? Really reinvent the wheel, I wonder if the tofu sold in this way is still not the original taste? Thinking of this, he quickly climbed up and ran into the kitchen. Without washing his hands, he broke off a small piece and filled it in his mouth. He tasted it again and again, and his brow wrinkled. When the wife saw it, she asked, "What happened?" I asked, "There is no replacement for the tofu seller, is there?" The wife said, "No." "Then it's an electric mill," I am sure. The wife smiled and said, "Your mouth is really tricky. It's really electric. We asked." "alas!" I shook my head and sighed in my heart. "My tofu, my favorite."

I really prefer tofu, not to mention that tofu is one of the three beauties that Tai 'an people are proud of. It is delicate, tender and smooth, and retains the mellow bean flavor to the maximum extent. And I like raw food best, or with garlic, or with shredded onion, or with fresh Toona sinensis buds and red pickles. It is original, fresh and refreshing, and I can never get tired of eating it.

If you go on writing like this, you may be digressing. Please forgive me and understand a big heart that eats tofu and get to the point.

Although I have a soft spot for tofu, I really don't know how I fell in love with it. I think I should be attracted by the sweet sound of bangzi first. Tofu bangzi is a tool to attract customers. Although quality is the key, its quality is also crucial. The exquisite bangzi, with its crisp and loud voice, is long and distant, which makes people feel refreshed, and even more, the tofu of those who have it is definitely the best, which is often the case.

Tofu bangzi is made of hardwood. Jujube is the most commonly used wood in my hometown, followed by Sophora japonica, but choosing a carpenter with excellent craftsmanship is also the key. Tofu bangzi must be made of a whole block of wood. First, make a long gap (which is also the sound outlet later) on it, carefully hollow out the inside from here, then put the handle into the bottom and fasten it, then polish it carefully inside and outside, and then match it with a percussion stick like a drumstick, and a pair of bangzi will be ready.

Some bean curd families have been handed down from generation to generation, and they are shiny and shiny. After years of beating, both sides are irregular and concave. This is the envy of tofu people. Although it seems vulnerable, the sound it makes makes other bangzi feel ashamed.

I remember that Uncle Zhang's family is a tofu family. I can also say that I grew up eating tofu from his family. "It's better to get the moon near the old tower". His bangzi has been handed down for generations. Although his tofu has long been famous, he still regards it as his own life. He always said, "This bangzi is not only good in workmanship, but also has a good voice. I don't know how much tofu has been sold by it to feed several generations. The tofu in Lao Zhang's house is good, and there is nothing to say about the bangzi. " Yes, tofu tastes different from family to family, and the sound of bangzi is also very different. Whose tofu do you like? You can tell whose tofu it is as long as you listen to the bangzi.

Unfortunately, when I was in high school, Uncle Zhang and his wife moved to the city with their children. When they left, the old couple didn't sleep for almost a night. They made several tofu in succession, and they didn't take any money from door to door, saying that this was to leave a message for their neighbors. Even more, I didn't forget to pass on my unique skills to a smart and interested young couple in the north of the village. The young couple didn't let Uncle Zhang down, and the tofu he made was almost made by himself, which kept the villagers happy. But the ancestral uncle Zhang Bangzi didn't want to stay, saying that when he entered the city, he would keep it for fun. I really heard someone say that when Uncle Zhang was free, he knocked around in the park downstairs or nearby, which made many misunderstandings and jokes.

Whether it's the morning when snow is flying or the mist is shallow, there will always be a clear and distant sound of bangzi ringing in my memory. Those aunts who are busy making breakfast, or carrying bowls or plates, go out of the house one after another and follow the beautiful sound. The tofu on the car was warm, and the owner took off the white and wet cage cloth. The old women and aunts surrounded it as if they were vying to see the bride who lifted the veil. Soon, a car full of tofu was robbed.

"bang, bang; Bang, bang, bang ",and then listen to the unique sound of tofu bangzi, which is somewhat ethereal and Zen. No wonder its shape is just like the wooden fish knocked by the master in the temple. It also complements the clean and refreshing nature of tofu. Probably the person who invented tofu bangzi is the one who knows best and loves tofu most.

after many years, I still can't accept the tacky, harsh and boring sound from this loudspeaker, so that I am gradually alienated from tofu. In the era of pursuing high efficiency and high yield, how many things remain original? "bang, bang; Bang, bang, bean-rot! " The meaning of Zen is gone.
