All kinds of shouts

Sugar-coated haws: There are so many rock candy.

Sour plum soup: It's cold in your mouth.

Bean juice: sweet and sour bean juice.

Meat buns: hot.

Xi's "drinkers" are mostly concentrated in street food stalls and night markets, such as Beiyuanmen Street, Damai Street and Dongxinjie Night Market. Especially in the north gate, food stalls piled up like mountains, and the shouts were naturally loud. "Roasted mutton! Authentic roast mutton! " "Library high over there! Jujube mud cake! " There are also several treasures, such as "bean paste buns, sugar buns, millet cakes, black rice cakes, buckwheat cakes, jujube cakes and corn cakes!" " You can sip 70 or 80 kinds of food in one breath. Shouting, one after another, is still a landscape of this street. Another hawking family in Xi 'an is a mobile hawker. Although people are scattered and individual, their cries are more distinctive. This is inevitable, you think, if his cry is not novel and beautiful enough, can you call out all the young and old who stay at home? I remember living in Beisifu Street when I was a child, accompanied by the sound of rattles, "sugar-noodles-people!" As soon as the shouts rang, the children in the neighborhood flew out from every household and surrounded the vendors selling sugar water and noodles. Adults in charge of money are slowly following in their footsteps. Watch the vendor's performance. He set up a square thick iron plate on a small charcoal stove, brushed a spoonful of hot syrup on the iron plate several times, and immediately drew a small flower or a bird with a stick in the middle, which was both beautiful and delicious. The children are so happy that adults are willing to pay for it satisfactorily. The dough kneading machine is more unique. Homemade white dough, in the hands of vendors, squeezed out a pig three times and two times. The ears and stomach were greatly exaggerated, which made the children laugh. The vendor also took the money in one hand and proudly shouted: "Sugar-noodles-people are coming!" This clear voice is very strong in the northwest wind on the yellow land. Shout the first word loudly first, then drag the cavity smoothly, and the last sound must be heavy. For example, "like-cake!" "Change-meter!" "Corn flour fish-stir the ball!" The shouts are cadence and sonorous, much like the local Qin opera. Yuan Haowen, a poet in the Yuan Dynasty, said in the Guide to Qin People: "Guanzhong has a thick custom, the hostages are generous and righteous, and the customs are generous, which is old in Qin and Han Dynasties." Described the characteristics of Qin people's rap. Mr. Liang Shiqiu, a writer, recalled that when he was a teenager in Beijing, he heard the voices of hawking and hawking in the street outside the courtyard, just like hearing the Beijing Opera oratorio, which was very charming. It seems that the clamor from all over the country can represent a little local drama. Perhaps, dramatic singing evolved from early shouts. "No chaff is not spicy, five bundles of radish are big. Whether it's worth it or not, five bundles of radishes sell for a dime. " Sharpen scissors and cut a kitchen knife! For example, in summer, a watermelon seller shouted, "Come and have a taste, this iceman's watermelon is crisp and sandy;" Triangular teeth, the size of a boat, the flesh of rock sugar; The stuffing of the Mid-Autumn moon cake in August, the banana leaves can't be blown away, and the bees make a wrong nest here; Two big boys, sand is sweet to you ... "This short lyric is simply a miniature literary work, a contrast, a metaphor and a rhyme. There are both straightforward boasting and hidden foreshadowing. Every sentence closely surrounds the sweet sand of watermelon, and there is not a sentence that is not full of temptation and is not annoying to listen to. After impressing the buyer, the price finally came out: "two big boys have one tooth." For example, the vegetable seller shouted, "Coriander, spicy green pepper, eggplant, lentils, hard garlic seedlings, white cucumber, white lotus root, lentil tomato frost melon, coriander, leek, chestnut-flavored noodles, Japanese pumpkin, radish carrot, radish toon, leek ..." There was a time difference: when I got home, I washed the melon, cut it into pieces, and steamed it in the pot while choosing coriander. Just in time. A few words explain the rationality of careful calculation, even a flat-headed man should live a refined and tasteful life.
