The oil lamp child practice snacks

Yanling Road, there is a child alley, in the area of the alley, there is often a woman sitting in front of the house set up a stove to do some snacks to sell to passers-by. There are boiled chicken eggs, brined dried tofu, the most memorable probably counts "oil lamp", also called "oil winter". Flour, green onion children made into a paste, in the iron flat small round spoon put a spoonful of paste with a layer of radish, and then put a spoonful of paste, and then blanch into the oil. Blanch until the paste into a flat round, golden yellow, burnt and tender, exuding a burst of onion oil fragrance, will be up and put on the side of the frying pan on the barbed wire fence, waiting for the children to pay out money. In the mid-1960s, the "Cultural Revolution", Hangzhou, when the armed struggle, my parents sent me to my grandmother's home in Linhai to escape. Grandma's house had a black old iron small oil lamp, flat round, holding vegetable oil, put a handful of wick grass on the side. At night, in order to save electricity, not to light the lamp, they would add a wick grass in the lamp, light the fire, burning a small red head and yellow bottom of the fire beans. Grandma used to put on her old glasses and do needlework. The little fire bean lit up leisurely, put the black silhouette of a big, big, shaking on the wall, the house will be extra cozy. I stared straight at the oil lamp. The shape of the lamp and Hangzhou "oil lamp" spoon shape gradually coincide, so I thought that this is the origin of the name "oil lamp".
