Spread a piece of white cloth 2 meters long and 1.5 meters wide on the ground, fix the four corners, and then use a ruler to surround the left and right sides with high red cloth. On the white cloth stand, there are 10 small pots and 3 small tubes filled with 13 kinds of spices respectively. A stall of thirteen incense sticks was spread out.
Selling thirteen incense not only sells spices, but also includes selling homemade songs to attract customers. An excellent vendor of thirteen incense must also be an excellent folk artist. Many customers patronize this booth, more to appreciate the singing of the stall owner.
"This parcel is well wrapped. Please listen to me: My family lives in Luannan County, Tangshan, Hebei Province. I didn't die in the earthquake to sell thirteen incense. I remember1July 28, 976, at 3: 00 am, the blue light flashed, and the earth immediately cracked the fault ... all parties' help arrived. The people's liberation army bravely rushed to rescue the villagers from danger, and the people of Tangshan were ambitious. The army and the people unite to build a new city. "
This is an aria used by Li Fenglin when he set up a stall. Shortly after the earthquake, people all over the country were paying attention to the changes in Tangshan, and this aria definitely won him a good title.
Li Fenglin is a farmer in Xuejiazhangzi Village, Luannan County. He has often listened to his neighbors selling thirteen incense since he was a child. After the Tangshan earthquake, in order to make a living, he joined the team selling thirteen incense. In a few years, he traveled all over the cities in Northeast China. After 1983, he opened up markets in Tangshan and Shijiazhuang.
Li Fenglin's education level is not high, and he became a monk halfway. In order to make thirteen incense "sound art" sing more brilliantly, he worked hard. Others mostly sell thirteen incense through improvisation, but Li Fenglin has a "songbook". When I see something new during the day, I will quickly write a lyric in my notebook when I come back at night. I will sing it myself and then take it out to "perform".
Li Fenglin also has a unique skill in selling thirteen incense: he sings one paragraph after another, and for a long time there will be no harsh words, but he is busy with ingredients and bags, and he does things neatly. The people who see it are dazzling, and the people who sell it are comfortable. Wherever he sells it, there will be people there. Needless to say, this popularity alone makes his peers envious. For this reason, Li Fenglin soon became the main market of thirteen incense, and gained the reputation of "peddling king".
