Break the wind slogan

When I was a child, I was very sleepy. I was called several times by adults in the morning and didn't want to get up. Suddenly, "Tofu-hot, hot, tender ..." came from outside the yard. I couldn't sit still any longer. It is such a simple cry, cordial and touching, deeply rooted in people's hearts. I immediately turned out of bed, picked up the bowl, asked my mother for twenty cents, and rushed out.

At that time, vendors had a set of skills. Small bags, baskets or carts could be filled with all kinds of goods. I remember a woman selling pickles. Her cart is full of dazzling things, and her shouts are crisp and sweet: "Make soy sauce and vinegar, mustard bumps-pickles ..." These vendors are very regular every day and come to my yard to sell on time every day. At that time, every family didn't have a refrigerator, but they were all fresh.

I feel that the hawker's tone may have been handed down from my ancestors. It's the same old story. Many names and pronunciations are quite different from what they are now. For example, the waste collector shouted, "Sell that book, paper, newspaper, broken rubber shoes, shoes and sports shoes, broken bedding and rotten covers, and sell that glass bottle ..." "Broken bedding" is old rags, "rotten covers" are old cotton covers, and "glass bottles" are wine bottles, oil bottles and medicine bottles. It used to be popular to directly exchange domestic garbage for small commodities. For example, some vendors shouted, "Go home and look for it. Long hair, rags, scrap iron and old rubber, and toothpaste skin fell down like a mixture."

The hawking sound of street vendors and the characteristics of hawking in various places are called "hawking" in Beijing. Vendors all over the country are selling their wares in a variety of colors and melodious tones. At that time, adults and children had an intuition when they heard Hawking's voice. At that time, the traffic was inconvenient, and all consumer goods, including food and use, were taken from street vendors. Therefore, no matter where people live, they have an indissoluble bond with street vendors and become an indispensable part of life.

As long as I can remember, Hawking's cries are varied and strange. There are vendors from other places, mobile vendors in Qingdao and special vendors in Changzhou. Although these vendors have different voices, they all support this town with various flavors from the 1950s.

"Who will buy hair oil-osmanthus oil?

"Who bought it-small root garlic?"

"Who buys-who cleans the vegetables?"

Nose made in Changzhou

Is it wrong to sell Niang flowers?

"welding tin cans"

Sharpen scissors-Tang kitchen knife

Collect garbage, copper scrap and aluminum scrap-

Stinky tofu

"The bean curd brain is hot suddenly."

"shovel basin, shovel bowl, shovel cylinder,

"broken money"

With the progress of social civilization, small traders now use tricycles, small tractors or trucks instead of cars to push their goods, and they don't have to shout all over the street. They all use loudspeakers, just recording Hawking's voice and playing it over and over again. Don't worry about getting thirsty at the end of the day. Inverted breathers also openly record pop music, instead of shouting, riding a tricycle and playing "butterfly lovers" on the loudspeaker, which sounds quite ridiculous.

In the gap of life, the familiar cry of selling things in my hometown when I was a child often rings in my ears. Then, I remembered the bitter and simple days, and I missed them even more, giving birth to many reverie-.

For example, selling watermelon in summer:

"Come on, have a taste. The 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; The sand in your mouth is sweet, two big boys ... "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, um, spicy green pepper, eggplant, lentils, hard garlic seedlings, cucumber with white flowers, lotus root with white flowers, lentils, tomatoes and wax gourd, spare coriander, leeks, chestnut noodles, old pumpkins, carrots, radishes, Chinese toons and rinsed leeks ..." Why should we save coriander when buying melons? There is a time difference: when I get home, I wash the melon, cut it into pieces, steam it in the pot and choose 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.

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! " "The library is 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.

I think street hawking in xi 'an is a kind of folk culture, just like Shaanxi opera, just like Xi 'an's old house. Unfortunately, nowadays, Shaanxi Opera has gradually declined in this city, and with the large-scale building movement in recent years, there are fewer and fewer old houses in xi 'an. Perhaps there are too many royal scenic spots in Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties in Xi 'an, and there is no pity for the folk customs in Ming and Qing Dynasties. No one will rush to protect folk customs like the writer Mr. Feng Jicai. With the development of the times and the clean-up of the city, there are fewer and fewer vendors in Xi 'an, and the hawking is becoming more and more Xiao Su. In this small street where I live now, that family has been guarding the big pot of jujube paste cakes for generations, and now it has closed its stalls. Most of the sneaky mobile vendors ride bicycles or tricycles, which are flexible and play the game of mouse and cat with the urban management. What makes people laugh and cry is that some shouts have been replaced by speakers. Some hawkers have installed electric horns in their cars, and there are pre-recorded chips in them, which can be put while walking. For example, in this small street where I live, the biggest cry every day is "hey hey hey hey!" That's a recording. I don't know if people in the office heard it, but they all thought that vendors really had such a loud voice.
