Full text of sugar blower:

A few crisp gongs broke the peace of the village, and the street immediately flew in a hurry. As soon as children in the country hear the gong, there will be wind under their feet, and they will soon surround the small sugar stalls. The children opened their eyes wide, and their eyes turned around with the dexterous hand of the sugar master, surprised to see how the gadget was born.

Master Sugar Man's hand is like magic, one moment it becomes the Monkey King, the other moment it becomes rooster; A little rabbit and an old sow ... He pinched a small piece of syrup several times, blew it with his mouth and held these creatures in his hand. "How is the mouth of Master Sugar Man so magical?"

The children were very curious, craning their necks and staring, eager to pry open his mouth to see clearly. After a while, several children exchanged the steel shovel given by their mother, bought a sugar man they liked and ran home happily. The children who didn't buy candy followed enviously and walked out of a distance talking and laughing.

A sugar man and a story. Children tell the story of sugar man by imagination, one says this and the other makes it up, laughing and laughing. Suddenly I found that the sugar man was melting, and I remembered that I should eat it. But who eats the first bite has become a difficult problem again. Let the children who pay eat first, and the children who pay let others eat first.

I can't decide to give in for a long time, I can only guess. The guessed child picked up the sugar man, studied it for a while, licked it with the tip of his tongue, and then solemnly gave it to others. Others are still carefully licking with the tip of their tongue, and no one wants to bite the sugar man. Sugar man gradually melted and disappeared.

My childhood has long passed, but these things are often remembered. Whenever I think about this, I naturally think of those little friends. It turns out that sugar man has not melted in my heart.

Liu Bowen got away with it and was saved by an old man with a sugar burden. They changed their clothes, and since then, Liu Bowen has remained anonymous, carrying a burden and walking around the streets every day.
