In primary school, fried skewers and kebabs were sold at the intersection after 4 pm.
fried chicken legs were very expensive at that time, costing 3.5 yuan.
three kebabs for one yuan.
One piece of pocket money a day, and 5 cents at school to buy other snacks such as spicy ice packs.
I have never bought fried chicken legs myself, so I can only wait for my father to buy them for me when he is in a good mood.
You can still endure not buying snacks at noon once in a while and buy them after school to satisfy yourself.
That mutton kebab is really fragrant. Although I don't know if it is real mutton, it's fat and thin. When the roasted oil and cumin powder are sprinkled, the smell seems to blow on your face with a bang. At that time, to what extent did mutton kebabs attract me? Even before going to bed at night, I licked a cumin grain from my teeth, and I still had to remember it for a long time.
one day, I spent 5 cents at noon. I planned to buy a skewer to satisfy my appetite after school.
But when we got to the kebab stand, the smell turned into a worm and went straight to the nose.
but I'm unwilling. I can only buy one string for one dollar and five cents. It's a loss.
I really want to eat, but I can't walk at all. Tell myself, forget it, just one string, and the fried kebab is also a string, although the fried kebab has more meat than the mutton kebab.
uncle, a kebab. After that, I handed in fifty cents. I still remember that it was a crumpled five-wool pen and paper with a small piece missing in the upper left corner.
Uncle took 5 cents, frowned and said, How much is 5 cents? That's all. I'll bake you two skewers, but I won't sell 5 cents next time.
I jumped for joy. I can eat two strings for 5 cents!
after a while, I walked back happily with a string of mutton skewers in each hand.
Those two kebabs, together with my happy look that day, are probably the best kebabs I have ever eaten in my life.
Later, I worked. On a holiday afternoon, I went to town to do business, and my nose twitched and I smelled a long-lost fragrance.
it's still at that intersection, but it's not so busy.
I'm still the same uncle, but now I've become an old man.
The grill is not the rusty grill, but it is still grilled with charcoal.
old man, give me 3 kebabs. How much is it now?
three dollars a string, ten dollars four strings. Do you want forty strings?
ok, then 4 strings, old man, how many years have you been putting it there? I bought it from you when I was a child, when three strings were only 1 yuan.
haha, that was 2 years ago. I didn't always put it there. I sent my children to college by setting up a stall. I also paid him a down payment by setting up a stall. I went to the children's city until my grandson was born. Now I am old and want to come back. I'm back. I have nothing to do and I'm in a hurry.
the old man is old and has been talking for a long time. The action was not neat, and 4 skewers were baked for nearly half an hour.
the fragrance is still the fragrance in memory, but the taste is not as distinct as in memory.
there is too much cumin, which is a bit astringent. Chili noodles are missing, and the smell is not covered. The meat is probably not mutton either. The smell of mutton is too obvious, but the meat quality is not as delicate as that of mutton, only the smell of mutton is not fragrant.
the heat is too high, and the outside is a little burnt, so the inside is broken and tasteless.
I'm a little disappointed. I ate two and asked for a box.
I don't know how long the old man can put it on, but I think I probably won't be able to eat the delicious mutton kebabs that the little boy ran home with his schoolbag on his back and his hands held high.
Of course, maybe today's old man and his uncle actually baked the same taste.
It's just that once that ignorant boy grew up to be a middle-aged greasy uncle. Uncle has certainly eaten more delicious food than teenagers, but the mentality that teenagers are easy to satisfy is far behind.
