Various kinds of yells

Sugar gourd: ice sugar ah ah

Sour plum soup: drink the mouth cool whoosh

Bean juice: sweet and sour bean juice ah

Meat buns: hot buns ah

Xi'an, "yellers" are mostly concentrated in the city's stalls and night markets, such as the Beiyuanmen Street, Damei Street, Dongxin Street Night Market, and the Beiyuanmen Street Night Market. Especially the North Courtyard Gate, restaurants stalls gathered, yelling naturally also full of this side of the "roast lamb! Authentic roast lamb! Over there, "rice cake! Date paste cauldron cake!" There are also "bean paste buns, sugar buns, millet cakes, black rice cakes, buckwheat cakes, jujube cakes, and bao guan flour cakes". In one breath, they can yell out 70 to 80 kinds of food. Yells, one after another, clanking or this street is a landscape it. Another type of yellers in Xi'an are the itinerant hawkers, who are dispersed and individual, but their yells are more distinctive. This is inevitable, you think, his yell if not a little novelty, if not enough sound, can stay at home in the old and young out of the call? I remember when I was a child living in North Sifu Street, accompanied by the sound of rattles, "Sugar - noodles - people!" As soon as the sound of the rattle was heard, the children in the neighborhood would fly out from their homes and surround the carriers selling candy and kneading doughnuts. Adults who were in charge of the money also followed slowly. Watching the peddler perform, he supported a square thick iron plate on a small charcoal stove, a spoonful of hot sugar thinning in the iron brush brush waved a few times, immediately painted a small flower or a small bird, a small stick in the center of the support, both good-looking and tasty, the children were happy with the joy of the day, the adults are also willing to pay money to see the satisfaction. Pinch noodle man is a masterpiece, common white dough, to the hands of the vendor, three pinches two pinches, pinch out a piggy bank, ears and belly exaggerated to a great extent, but also amused the children a burst of laughter. The peddler also received money with one hand, while proudly pulling up a yell: "Sugar - noodles - people. " This yell, very some of the yellow earth on the northwest wind of the rigid, first heavy roar out of the first word, and then smooth drag cavity, the end of the sound must be a heavy oblique tone. For example, "Cake!" "Rice!" "Bao Gu Noodle, Fish, Fish, Stirring Dough!" The yells are staccato and forceful, much like the local theater Qinqiang. Yuan Dynasty poet Yuan Hao Wen said in the "send Qinzhong people cited": "Guanzhong perfect thick terroir, hostages straight and still righteousness, the wind habits, songs and generous, and there are the old Qin and Han." This characterizes the Qin people's rap. Mr. Liang Shiqiu, a writer, recalled that when he was a young man in Beijing, when he heard the shouting and yelling in the streets outside the courtyard, it was just like hearing the singing of Peking Opera, which had a great flavor. It seems that the yells of different places can more or less represent the local theater. Perhaps, the theater singing is evolved from the early yelling it. "Neither chaff nor spice, five bundles of radishes are big on one side. You can see for yourself whether it's worth it or not, five bundles of radishes for 10 cents." Sharpening scissors and cutting knives! For example, a watermelon seller in summer yells: "Eat up, get a piece of watermelon, the watermelon is crispy and sandy; triangular teeth, boat-sized chunks, icing-sugar flesh; the filling of the mooncake in the middle of August, banana leaves can't get rid of the bees that have mistakenly set up nests here; the sweetness of the mouth is so sweet that you can't resist, and the two big ones ..." This little paragraph sings. ..." This small section of the lyrics is simply a miniature literary work, and is a prose, and is a metaphor, but also rhymes. That is, there is a straightforward boast, but also a hidden padding, each word is tightly focused on the watermelon sand sweet article, layer by layer, there is not a sentence is not full of temptation, listen to not let a person annoyed. After the buyer is impressed, the price also finally came out: "two big son of a tooth". For example, selling vegetables yell: "cilantro uh spicy green pepper eggplant lentils hard garlic seedlings, top flower of the cucumber white flower of the lotus root uh, sell lentils tomatoes hanging frost frame winter melon uh, rai parsley le leek le, sell chestnut flavor face old bonobo uh, sell Mallin leek le, sell radish carrot carrot parsnip le, shabuer's leek le ... ... ... "Why buy winter melon to spare parsley? This "hides" a time difference: back home to wash the melon after picking net cut into pieces, on the pot steamed at the same time choose cilantro, time is just right. A few small words, but through the careful and reasonable, even if it is a small people, but also to live a delicate and exquisite, live with flavor.
