With the continuous improvement of living standards, there are many kinds of snacks. Many of the snacks that I liked when I was young are no longer available, perhaps because people's preferences have changed, or perhaps because things were not so delicious when I was a child, but we had few choices, so we felt particularly fragrant. Now there are more choices, so it may not be so rare. The five kinds of snacks we are going to talk about today have been recalled by many people. Have you tried them?
1. Popcorn
As you can see from the picture, this popcorn is not popcorn, it is really popcorn. Do you remember the scene when you were a child, covering your ears and waiting for popcorn to come out? With? Bang? There was a loud noise, a burst of white smoke rose, a thick fragrance floated everywhere, and a pot of popcorn was baked. I think this should be the collective memory after 7, 8 and 9. It's rare now.
A black popcorn cone was placed on the fire. The master shook the handle rhythmically with one hand, and the bellows blew the fire with the other. The corn kept turning over and sending out in the cone? Squeak? The voice. While waiting for the popcorn to come out of the pot, we will always cover our ears because we don't know when it will burst. In my memory, whenever I heard the popcorn master coming, I would ask my mother for a bowl of corn, run to the popcorn master with it, and wait in line for my turn. Think about it, it was thirty years ago. I wonder if children will have a chance to see such real popcorn now.
2. Ding Ding Candy
This is probably the most profound food in the memory of many post-197s and post-198s people. Ding Ding Candy covered with thin frost is always a large square or round piece. Sugar vendors walk around the streets without shouting, but only knock it with iron plates? Ding-ding? When a guest comes to sell sugar, he holds an iron piece in one hand and a hammer in the other. Knock on the iron piece with a hammer, and a small piece of sugar will fall off. When knocking, it will make a tinkling sound, so it is called tinkling sugar.
When I was a child, there were some rag collectors in the village, and they would carry a large piece of ding-ding candy with them. If children in rural areas have rags, they can exchange them for ding-ding candy. He'll knock it off and give you a few pieces. At that time, there were not as many kinds of snacks as there are now. In Xiao Bian's memory, Ding Ding sugar is very delicious. Now it's almost gone in the countryside, and there's nothing I can do if I want to eat.
3. Cut the cake
It is estimated that many children don't know what it is when they look at the pictures. Is this the delicious food that was once popular in the north and south of the country? Cut the cake. If we look at it now, it will be made in online celebrity. Every street as big as a first-tier city, as small as a pedestrian street in a third-and fourth-tier city, you can all see Xinjiang people and cut cakes, which is such a beautiful layer by layer.
But when you want to buy some, you can get two or three hundred dollars with a knife. In the 198s, 2 yuan was a huge sum. In addition, after a conflict in buying cut cakes and being awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation, everyone gradually lost interest in cutting cakes. Later, there was a saying that you would rather meet the Mercedes-Benz BMW next to you than the cake cutting car, otherwise you might encounter sky-high claims.
