A stall was set up at the entrance of the alley.

A rectangular container holds a huge parasol, just like the breakfast stalls that can be seen everywhere in the city.

What's a little different is that there is a small blackboard standing on the cabinet with "Old Cat's Weather Dumplings" written in white chalk, and the person standing behind the stall to greet customers is really an old cat wearing an apron.

Why is it called "old"?

Because its body is pitch black and only its beard is white, it looks really old.

But the way it stood up, stood on the bench, and greeted the guests coming and going, not only was it not slow at all, but it could be said to be very neat.

On the cabinet in front of Old Mao, fist-sized glutinous rice dumplings were wrapped in persimmon leaves and lined up in a row. They were white, fat, pink and waxy, and just looking at them made people appetite.

In front of each team, there is a small card with "Sunshine", "Clouds", "Breeze" written on it respectively... "Hey, why is the cat here to set up a stall?" A primary school student passed by the stall and called out exaggeratedly.

.

He walked to the stall, rolled his eyes, pointed at the dumpling at the front and said, "What does 'sunshine' mean? Then give me one like this!" "Okay! One dollar." "Really

Cheap!" The primary school student paid a coin and took a big bite as soon as he got the dumpling. "Ah!" What happened?

He would never have thought that the dumplings were genuine "sunshine stuffing" - golden sunshine flowing out like melted cheese, with the richness of egg yolk and the sweetness of candied fruit.

, like a small sun rising, shining warmly on the whole body.

The primary school student was about to buy another one when a young man who looked like an office worker had already lined up in front of him.

"Oh, these days, even cats are out to make money!" The young man sighed, pointed at the dumplings and asked, "How much does one cost?" "One yuan each." "So cheap?" the young man shouted, "Don't

It's not delicious. Let's have one first." He chose the "Yunduo" flavor and took a bite. His eyes suddenly widened - the soft filling tasted like marshmallows and was layered.

The layers of petals are as soft and sweet as a white cloud in the blue sky, unknowingly absorbing all the anxiety and boredom in my heart.

"Give me another one!" the young man shouted.

But in front of him, a lady had already stood in.

My wife had just sent her junior high school daughter to school. She was in a hurry in the morning. On the way home, she remembered that she had not eaten breakfast.

Thinking that she would have to do a lot of housework when she got home soon, my wife frowned tightly while buying dumplings.

"Give me one...'Qingfeng'." She murmured, "What kind of weird taste does this have?!" After taking a bite of the dumpling, the expression on the wife's face changed from depressed to shocked - the thin

The glutinous rice skin was empty, and it looked like there was nothing in it, but she had clearly eaten something. A taste like the sound of spring mountain springs and the sound of wind chimes poured into her throat, like a breeze. Every time she tasted it,

All the dust in my heart has been swept away.

It’s so delicious, I need to buy more!

The wife thought, but when she turned around, the small stall had been flooded by a steady stream of people.

Everyone who bought "Lao Mao's Weather Dumplings" bought one after another. They bought it on the first day and came back the next day. On the third day, as soon as Lao Mao's stall opened, people in line stood there.

The whole street was filled.

In addition to the "sunshine", "cloud" and "breeze" flavors of dumplings, there are also "snowflakes" - ice cold, sweet and fragrant, like a dream born in the snow; and "thunder and lightning" - beep

The peeling texture is smooth and chewy, and more refreshing than mint; and "Wanxia" - this is the favorite of the elderly, with a rich aroma and a long aftertaste... But, when people queue up to buy dumplings, intentionally or unintentionally

Alas, Lao Mao always mentioned that the dumplings it sells are not as delicious as the stuffed ones from "Moonlight".

"The taste, tsk tsk, is three-quarters of pear blossoms, four-quarters of epiphyllum, and two-cents of osmanthus, plus a drop of honey. It's lighter than clouds. One bite will make you float to the sky..." Old Man

The cat said lively.

"Then why don't you sell it?" A customer asked anxiously.

"There is no material." Every time at this time, the old cat would spread his hands helplessly. "The lights in the city are so bright now that they dye the moonlight into a mess and add odor to it. It is impossible to get the clear moonlight. I think

There is no need to sell it..." After what Lao Mao said, "Moonlight dumplings" spread by word of mouth among the guests, and the spread became more and more exaggerated. More and more people couldn't wait to try this heavenly talent.

Some delicious food.

"For the sake of 'Moonlight Dumplings', let's turn off the extra lights..." Gradually, such a call began to appear in the city, and more and more people responded.

Finally, people agreed online to turn off the surrounding lights as much as possible on the night of the last week of summer.

On the first night of the "Lights Out Operation", no one saw the old cat selling weather dumplings coming to the top of a tall building alone.
