Fried chicken legs were expensive at that time, 3.50 yuan.

Three kebabs for one dollar.

One pocket money every day, and 50 cents at school to buy spicy ice packs and other snacks at noon.

I have never bought fried chicken legs myself, so I can only buy them for me when my father is in a good mood.

Mutton kebabs can occasionally endure not to buy snacks at noon and buy them after school to satisfy themselves.

That kebab smells good. Although I don't know if it is real mutton, it is fat and thin. When the roasted oil and cumin powder are spilled, the fragrance seems to blow on your face with a bang. To what extent did mutton kebabs attract me at that time? Even before going to bed at night, I licked a mouthful of cumin between my teeth, but I still have to remember it for a long time.

One day, I spent fifty cents at noon. I was going to buy a kebab after school to satisfy my appetite.

But when I walked to the kebab booth, the smell turned into a bug and went straight to my nose.

But I'm not reconciled. You can only buy one string for one dollar and five cents. This is a loss.

But I really want to eat, and I can't move at all. I told myself, forget it, just one string, and mutton skewers are also a string, although mutton skewers have more meat than mutton skewers.

Uncle, kebab. After that, I paid fifty cents. I still remember that it was a crumpled five-hair pen and paper with a small piece missing in the upper left corner.

Uncle took fifty cents and said with a frown, how much is fifty cents? That's all. I'll bake you two skewers, and it won't cost fifty cents next time.

I jumped up with joy. I can eat two strings for fifty cents!

After a while, I came back happily with a string of mutton skewers in one hand.

Those two kebabs, plus the way I was delighted that day, are probably the best kebabs I have ever eaten in my life.

Later, I worked. One holiday afternoon, I went to town on business, and my nose twitched and I smelled a long-lost fragrance.

It's still at that intersection, but it's not so lively.

The same uncle, now he has become an old man.

The grill is not the rusty grill, but it is still baked with charcoal.

Old man, give me 30 kebabs How much is it now?

Three yuan a string, 10 yuan 4 strings. Do you want forty strings?

All right, those 40 strings, old man, how many years have you been there? I bought it from you when I was a child. At that time, it was three strings of talents 1 yuan.

Haha, that was 20 years ago. I didn't always put it there. I send my children to college by setting up stalls. I also set up a stall and paid him a down payment. 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 am in a hurry.

The old man was old and talked for a long time. The action was not neat, and 40 skewers were baked for nearly half an hour.

The fragrance is still the fragrance in memory, but the taste is not as clear as in memory.

There is too much cumin, which is a little astringent. The Chili noodles are gone and the taste is not covered. Meat may not be mutton either. The fishy smell of mutton is too obvious, but the meat quality is not as delicate as mutton, only the smell of mutton is not fragrant.

The heat is too high, the outside is a little burnt, and 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 last, but I don't think I can 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 the original uncle actually taste the same.

It's just that once an ignorant teenager grew up to be a middle-aged greasy uncle today. Uncle must have eaten more delicious food than teenagers, but the mentality that teenagers are easy to satisfy is still far away.
