在視覺、聽覺、觸覺等等所有記憶承載體中,味覺一定是最神秘的。它難以捕捉,但當(dāng)它出現(xiàn)時(shí),卻如電光火石般在腦中炸裂。記得《料理鼠王》里那個(gè)郁郁寡歡的美食家嗎?當(dāng)味蕾匹配到正確的密碼,哪怕是小小的一個(gè)甜點(diǎn),一袋零食,也能把我們瞬間拉回記憶最深處,穿越就是這么簡(jiǎn)單。今天,讓我們來分享記憶深處的零食,找到小時(shí)候幾毛錢就能買到的簡(jiǎn)單快樂。
Sugar Figure
糖人
In the olden times, you could always find peddlersmaking sugar figures at the school gate. First, the maker takes alittle maltose with a small spoon, and then shapes the softmaltose by hand, blowing gently, using his hands to form afigure, such as Sun Wukong, White Dragonet, and so on. Thesugar figure is not only tasty, but also makes one cool. If onechild bought a sugar figure, all his/her peers would crowd around and admire it.
學(xué)校門口常常有小販在做,手里一個(gè)勺子,盛著糖漿隨便勾畫幾下,各種各樣的東西就出現(xiàn)了,什么孫悟空啦,小白龍啦,好吃又拉風(fēng),手里拿一串,看的身邊的小伙伴那個(gè)眼饞?。?/p>
Dada Bubble Gum
大大泡泡糖
Almost every kid is fond of chewing bubble gum. They also gather together to see who gets the largest bubble. I still remember that my cousin once blew a big bubble and the bubble burst, covering her face with gum!
幾乎是每個(gè)人嘴里嚼一塊,大家互相比,誰吹的泡泡更大,記得表姐小時(shí)候有一次吹個(gè)大泡泡,結(jié)果泡泡破了,整個(gè)都糊在臉上了。
Baby Face Ice Cream
娃娃臉雪糕
We prefer to call it snowman ice cream. It has a milk chocolate flavor and tastes verydelicious. It was rather expensive; I remember the price was 1.5 Yuan per piece, which was noteasy to afford in those days.
當(dāng)然我們還是喜歡叫它“雪人兒”,奶油巧克力味,比較貴,我記得是1.5元左右一根,還真不是隨便吃得起的,不過味道實(shí)在沒的說!
Malt Sugar Candy
麥芽糖
Malt sugar candy is usually called Tangguar in northern China, and is offered during afew days before the Spring Festival. It’s cheap and you can get several pieces for a few cents. It’svery sticky and delicious!
北方叫做“糖瓜兒”,過年之前的幾天會(huì)吃這個(gè),一條一條的,幾毛錢就能買到,吃的滿嘴糊,粘牙,但味道就是那個(gè)贊!
