Chinese cabbage, low price, placed on the balcony, no one cares about it, such a vulgar thing, what an impression to speak of. Definitely. This Chinese cabbage is not the Chinese cabbage, the Chinese cabbage is accompanied by potatoes (commonly known as yam beans) and tofu, but the folk coarse food is light rice. This Chinese cabbage is expensive as a tribute, to do official ceremonies, into the imperial meal, a big dish, actually given to the long live Lord name "Qianlong" two words, the name said: Qianlong cabbage. If this is the case, why can't this cabbage be impressed? In the streets and alleys of the Chinese cabbage, a violent shout was made, calling for the tenor "Chinese cabbage to be in", which was to announce that the time of the harsh winter in Tianjin Wei had arrived. The northern Chinese cabbage harvest takes place in the middle of October of the lunar calendar, when houses in Tianjin have been lit to keep warm, and families have begun to store potatoes, radishes, and Chinese cabbage in preparation for the long winter. At that time, it was not the present time, and the vegetables at this time were like spring all year round, and the fruits and vegetables were not in winter or summer. At that time, in winter, the folk vegetable market only potatoes, radish, a cucumber and half a fat pig price, once the winter vegetables were not stored in time, in the harsh winter of Sanjiu, vegetables were more expensive than meat. At this time, Tianjin Chinese cabbage was renamed "a stick", which doubled its value compared to the Chinese cabbage when it was "grinning". During the Chinese cabbage harvest season, vegetable farmers could not save it, so they had to immediately send it to the city and shout "grin" along the streets. As a result, people from every household immediately ran out of their homes and asked in unison: "What is the price?" Why do you want to sell Chinese cabbage, and you must "grin"? Tianjin characteristics, Tianjin Hutong is too deep, big Hutong sets of small Hutong, shout one less "Ge", people in the depths of the Hutong can't hear, shout more "Ge", the people at the mouth of the Hutong have already come out, take care of the business, "Glen, Gry", just right, this is the folk custom.
Photographer: Sun Liwei Correspondent Chen Lixing helps his children grow and sell cabbage, and he is doing a conscientious business. At that time, there were no quality standards, walking the streets and alleys, shouting and selling, and there was no quality spot check. Therefore, planting and selling vegetables must pass the pass of the common people. How to pass the Chinese cabbage, there is only one standard, it depends on the helper. Cabbage gang, a big Chinese cabbage, from chopping vegetables to selling vegetables, you must play three vegetable gangs. Caibangzi is the thickest and oldest two-layer vegetable leaves on the outside of Chinese cabbage. When chopping vegetables, the outer two layers of vegetable gangs are left in the field, and the vegetable farmers drive the cattle into the field, and the animals are fed. It can be called a buffet for livestock. The Chinese cabbage is cut from the ground, first put on the ridge overnight, this night volatilizes off the surface of the water, 4 kilograms of vegetables, volatilized to only 3 kilograms, then loaded into the cart, ready to be transported into the city to sell. The vegetable farmer drove the cart through the streets and alleys, shouting and calling the vegetable buyer out, the two sides bargained, negotiated the price, and decided how much to buy, and the vegetable farmer took down the cabbage one by one from the cart, and finally had to beat the vegetable gang again. This time, the vegetable farmer holds the Chinese cabbage in his hand, the head of the cabbage is facing inward, the vegetable leaves are facing outward, one hand makes a blade, and the outer layer of vegetable leaves is cut off, leaving only a layer of vegetable gang, wrapped in a cabbage heart, can you still be picky? The vegetable buyer nodded, went on the scale, and made a deal. This is the business of conscience. Gradually, such business ceased to exist, and the commune distributed labor according to the plan. When chopping Chinese cabbage, the car stopped on the side of the road, cut a basket of vegetables, and the members carried it to the side of the car, and someone came to help grab the cabbage basket, threw it into the car, and filled the car with one basket after another, and drove directly into the city. According to the note, send it to the first commercial bureau of the city, change the note, and then open to the street and how many stores, pull to the sales department, and start to go through the formalities inside, first drink water, smoke a cigarette, and then issue a receipt, return to the commercial bureau with the receipt, hand in the receipt, and the commercial bureau will pay the food money to the commune three days later. At this time, hulala, the car raised the car, and the cabbage fell on the side of the road, plugging in the big cardboard: 4 yuan 100 catties. In the evening, the weather forecast said that the temperature would drop at night, and the person on duty took out a big quilt and covered it with cabbage, and it rained heavily overnight. The next day, the staff of the non-staple food store and the store department swept away the stagnant water on the street. On the third night, there was an emergency cooling, and when the big quilt was removed, the cabbage was all frozen, and the price fluctuated: 5 dimes and 100 catties. It's called love to buy or not to buy.
Picture of this newspaper Photography: Xu Xin Chen Lixing photographed and picked up good food This is a story: Tianjin dolls, shrewd and capable, relying on the face of the older generation, entered a business to do things. The old shopkeeper is from Guangzhou, this number is in Guangzhou, and the old shopkeeper sees that the child is shrewd, polite, and understands the rules, and he chose to be his secretary in a short time. Rong is on the heavy responsibility, he and the old shopkeeper back to Guangzhou to meet a few owners, Guangzhou this number of several owners to welcome the old shopkeeper, and at the same time welcome the old shopkeeper has a right-hand man, set down a table of banquet. During the banquet, the natural chicken, duck and fish meat dishes and famous wine, the old shopkeeper sat in the right position, and the newly selected right-hand man sat on the right side of the old shopkeeper, which can be described as honorable. After the three rounds of wine, the dishes were put on the table, and the Tianjin doll was still sitting on the right hand of the old shopkeeper in Tianjin. The chicken, duck, fish, bird's nest, shark fin on the table are all placed in front of the Tianjin doll, plus the Guangzhou boss toasts and picks up the dishes, the Tianjin doll is already full of delicious food in front of him, and he is allowed to feast on it. It's just that our Tianjin doll is well-read and reasonable, and knows that although he is loved by the old shopkeeper, he is a small character after all, and he can't be presumptuous at the dinner table. As soon as I lowered my head, I happened to see a big dish on the table, and there was nothing, a basin of white water, and a few cabbages in it. Oh, don't show a little cultivation at this time, let alone when. So, this Tianjin doll stretched out her chopsticks and went to Haidilao, and sandwiched a few cabbages in a pot of boiling cabbage into her bowl. Seeing this, all the bosses glanced at him with their white eyes. Immediately, a plate of fried squid was placed in front of the Tianjin doll. Tianjin Doll is very smart, and understands what this plate of fried squid implies, so let you get out. He knew his own interests, and he didn't wait for the shopkeepers to open himself, he immediately got up and bowed to the seniors, and left the table with a slump. Without saying anything, Tianjin Doll bought a ferry ticket and returned to Tianjin in a daze.
When I returned to my hometown, I still "wondered" in my heart, how could I be "fired" by the shopkeepers when I had no shadow? When I asked my father, my father said that the personality of Guangzhou was astringent, and it must be that you behaved inappropriately and committed some taboo of the people of Guangzhou. A distant relative, who had eaten and seen, said, "Oh, baby, a foreigner, a newcomer, how can you just pick up good things to eat at the dinner table?" The table is full of chickens, ducks, fish and meat, I don't dare to put down chopsticks. I just put a few cabbages from the pot of boiled water into my own bowl. Oh, silly boy, that table of dishes is worth that pot of clear water cabbage. The cabbage in that pot is one for each person, and no one can eat more. That is the Chinese cabbage in Tianjin, when you arrive in Guangzhou, it is placed in a large glass cabinet in the precious market, have you ever seen it? A long and delicate wooden box, with a glass lid on it, is covered with red silk, and the red silk is wrapped in half a cabbage, and a cabbage sum is split, only half a cabbage sum, do you know what the price of this half cabbage is enough? It is enough for your boy to marry a daughter-in-law. Alas, just pick up good things to eat, swallow them alone, and don't let you get out. Now that the world has changed, Tianjin cabbage is sent by plane, and a plane of Tianjin cabbage cannot marry a daughter-in-law. Don't say that marrying a daughter-in-law is the second Rolls-Royce in the bride's convoy, and the husky "little sister" held in the arms of the mother-in-law also needs a recognition gift of 100,000 yuan. Believe it. (Published in Tianjin Daily Literature and Art Weekly on December 7)
