What does Sugar-Coated Berry stand for?

It tastes sour and sweet, which means happiness and reunion.

In the old days, there was also a kind of sugar-coated haws, which were sold in the street with burdens or wooden suitcases and bamboo baskets: "Alas, sugar-coated haws are newly bought." The vendor sells a bamboo semi-circular shelf with many holes on it. At the other end, there are stoves, iron pots, chopping boards, spatulas and tools such as sugar, red fruits and yam, which can be made on the spot.

Because there is no wind and three feet of waves on the loess street in old Beijing, in order to prevent sandstorms, vendors carrying baskets and boxes often cover them with white clean cloth to prevent dust. This kind of sugar-coated haws has few varieties and moderate price, but it is also very popular.
