Chapter 117: Childhood Memories (3) Frozen Pears
Wang Yongyuanyuan and Dawei and Wang Jing continued to squeeze into the crowded crowd in the envious and jealous eyes of a group of children, and soon they squeezed out sweat.
"Wang Yong? Are you here to go to the market?" Zhu Wei, the director of the town police station, was taking a police officer to patrol the market. He found himself, an old classmate from all over the country, and quickly said hello.
"Old Zhu? Why did you, the chief, come down to inspect in person?" Before Wang Yong could greet Dawei, he spoke first.
"Those people in the institute are not idle! Look at this person! Before the township was merged, there was a police station here. But after the township was merged, the police stations of the three townships were merged into one, and the staff were only equipped with less than half of the total staff of the three offices, and the rest were laid off or transferred away." Zhu Wei complained helplessly.
"Then don't you know the leaders of the State Council? Just call and report the situation!"
"I don't want to live anymore! I openly oppose the major national policies and guidelines. Besides, the staff in our station is quite good, with three more staff than other township police stations. After persisting for a while, it's better to wait for the armed police squadron to enter."
After hearing this, Wang Yong was very confused. Why do we still need armed police to enter such a small town? Is it because of Second Master? It shouldn't be! Isn't Second Master not special for so many years? Why are we going to enter the armed police now? "What's going on? We still need armed police to enter?" Wang Yong asked out of his doubts.
"You don't know?" Zhu Wei was also surprised that Wang Yong didn't know about it.
"This is not your super vegetable! It is becoming more and more famous now, so the country needs to draw a reinforced armed police brigade of more than 300 people to our place. After the Chinese New Year, an advance squadron will come to fight the front station."
"Oh! Don't you know where the station is?"
"The notice I received was on the mountain near your village. It was probably either the ones near Banshan Village or the ones near you. This one would have to be decided after the advance team came over to check it out."
As soon as he said this, he heard a shout from the walkie-talkie hanging on Zhu Wei’s shoulder: Catch a thief in the west, and have an accomplice. Come! Come!"
When Zhu Wei heard this voice, he immediately changed his color. He didn't even have time to call Wang Yong and the others, so he turned around and squeezed towards the west.
A few days ago, at this market, Wang Yong and Dawei encountered a group of burglaries with military sects. If Wang Yong hadn't had the real ability to subdue them, ordinary people might be in danger when they encountered it.
Seeing Zhu Wei and his colleagues disappear into the surging crowd, it did not disturb Yuanyuan and Wang Jing's interest. They each pulled their boyfriends to continue walking in, not afraid at all.
"Ah! What is this?" Wang Jing asked in surprise, looking at the dark thing in front of him like a pear or a small apple.
When Wang Yongdawei and Yuanyuan turned their heads and looked at this, they saw that all three northerners knew each other.
Yuanyuan immediately showed off her knowledge: "This is frozen pear, which is usually ice lumps. When eating, you should put it in cold water to melt it. It is sweet and sour, sour and delicious!"
"Will this black one taste delicious?" Wang Jing asked in confusion without believing it.
"What's the point of asking about this? I'll know if I buy some and try it." As her boyfriend, Dawei stepped forward and started bargaining with the stall owner.
Looking at the dark and ugly frozen pear, Wang Yong's memory was pulled back to his childhood.
I don’t remember when it was during the Chinese New Year. The second master left home and went out for a few days. When he came back, he was sent back by a domestic 212 little jeep. A soldier brought two baskets of such black frozen pears from the car, but Wang Yong didn’t know him at that time.
In fact, not only did he not know him, but many people in the village had never seen this thing. Everyone thought it was very novel. The second master and second grandma generously gave most of the frozen pears to the villagers, leaving less than half a basket for their family.
Later, after eating this frozen pear that was unique and tasted very unique, Wang Qiang, Wang Yong and Wang Han liked to eat very well. Therefore, he complained that the second master and second grandma gave away all the frozen pears that originally belonged to him, making them not enough to eat them. The little girl Wang Han even cried because she fought with Wang Yong for frozen pears.
Frozen pears are a name in the Northeast region, not the name of the pear itself. The raw materials for making frozen pears are generally called rosewood and white pear (the ones we sell here are said to be both of these, but it is also used for Baidu to use other pears). The smell of it before it was frozen is not seen before.
However, there is a local sour pear from the Northeast. This pear has a thick skin and a rough texture. If you take a bite, you will have to fall over.
However, I like to eat sour pears very much. Because sour pears not only relieve greasiness, but also make you appetizers. If you don’t have much appetite for eating during the Chinese New Year, eat a sour pear, and everything you eat is delicious. Of course, there is a prerequisite for you to eat sour pears, otherwise your teeth will fall out and you will still feel uncomfortable eating tofu!
But frozen pears are fine, everyone can eat them, and even children without teeth can hold them and eat them with sweetness.
Put the hard frozen pears in cold water and slowly. It won’t take long to make a circle of ice around the frozen pears. At this time, crush the ice, and pinch it and feel that the frozen pear is soft and you can eat it.
Peel the skin of the frozen pear, put it to your mouth, and took a sip. The smell was a little cool, even ice fangs, a little sour and sweet, and the flesh was like a fruit orange drink and went straight into your throat.
It was like sucking jelly. After a while, a frozen pear was left with the core and skin.
There was a time when this thing was very popular in the north. If you don’t buy a little frozen pear during the Chinese New Year, it means that your family must be too poor and you can’t even afford frozen pears. From the side, it also shows that the price of this thing is very cheap and suitable for mass consumption.
Many people in Northeast China like to eat a frozen pear after drinking, which is said to be able to relieve alcohol and also aid digestion. It has attracted many people with good alcoholic beverages to try it, and it is said to be very effective.
Nowadays, few people like to eat this kind of food that is said to originate in Harbin, because the current economic development has caused people to no longer lack fruits to eat.
Not to mention fruits from the north, even novel fruits from the south are everywhere. Such as oranges, grapefruits, longans, greenhouse watermelons, bananas, dragon fruits, kiwi fruits... all kinds of fruits can make you look at fireworks. But these things are really not cheap, and they can be five or six yuan per pound.
"Honey, let's buy some too!" Yuanyuan said softly in Wang Yong's ear.
"You want to eat it? This thing is just fresh, but there is nothing good to eat."
"Buy a little! Buy less!"
"Okay, buy some!"
But when Yuanyuan took the bag of material handed over by her boss, she immediately forgot the idea of buying less and put it in the bag. After a while, she filled a large bag full of it, which made Wang Yong pursed. This was still a little bit!
Since this year is a warm winter, there is little snow and the weather is extremely warm, the frozen pears have been transported to the Port City and have been thawed. The black frozen pears cannot see any ice. They are soft when they touch them, and they can be eaten directly after peeling them. There is no need to soak them in cold water at all.
Now, after handing a large bag of frozen pears into your boyfriend's hand, Yuanyuan didn't forget to pick up one and peel it and eat it. Wang Jing was the same, and was very interested in this novel food that she had never seen before. Under Yuanyuan's teaching, she peeled it and sucked it lightly. Then she grew a bite with satisfaction, and she didn't forget to praise her:
“It’s really delicious, cool, sour, and sweet!”
These two girls were like children. After a while, they took out a frozen pear from the bag they were carrying. They peeled it and ate it. Unconsciously, they ate five or six of them, but they still couldn't eat enough and wanted to continue eating. Wang Yong and Dawei were so panicked that they quickly persuaded their wives to stop.
This thing is good to eat one or two, but it will not be so good if you eat too much. No matter what, it is a sour fruit. Although it is not too sour and cold, eating too much will not only cause tooth to cause tooth to fall out. The cold feeling will make your whole stomach feel chill and very uncomfortable.
"Wang Yong? Dawei? Are you taking your wife to the market?"
When Wang Yong saw that it was Liu Jianqiang from the village, he was of the same generation as Wang Yong. Although he was over fifty years old, he should call him elder brother by generation. However, this elder brother is much older than him, and his grandson is five or six years old.
"Brother, are you here to the market? What have you bought?" After saying that, Wang Yong did not recognize the raw material at all and went to look up the small basket he carried in his hand (it is the local name of the basket)
"I didn't buy anything, I just bought a big fish. When my grandson came over, I liked to eat fish. In addition, I bought some fruits or something to entertain guests during the New Year. I think you bought frozen pears? How much does it cost per pound? I haven't eaten them for a long time, so I'll buy some."
"Well, it's good to buy some and try it. I just bought it in front, four or five cents per pound. There are also a small one for three or five cents, but I look too small and have no meat, so I'd better buy a big one."
"Well! Yes, we are not short of this money, right? I'll buy some for my grandson to try it out. He hasn't eaten this thing yet!" Liu Jianqiang said with great enthusiasm.
My little grandson has lived in the city with his parents since he was a child. I haven't eaten this frozen pear for several years, let alone my grandson. It's good to buy some for the little guys who are back in the village to celebrate the New Year.
Farewell to the big brother, Wang Yong and the other two continued to go deep into the people. They were absolutely shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart! It was a pain for Wang Yong and Dawei to carry bags, and their arms were so sore and numb.
Wang Yong was carrying a large bag of frozen pears in one hand and two strings of candied haws that he had temporarily handed in his hand to keep because he wanted to taste the frozen pears.
While carrying heavy things, he also had to take care of his girlfriend. As a good chef, Dawei, who had a good arm strength, had already started to yell to send the things back to the car first and then go shopping, but was rejected by the second daughter and Wang Yong.
Wang Yong kept lifting the bag of frozen pears in his hand and showed Dawei his arm strength. That means that the guy just won't send it back, and this guy is like empty-handed.
Dawei knew that Wang Yong was taking revenge nakedly, so he simply ignored him. He followed Wang Jing's butt and complained. In the end, Wang Jing had to agree that he would send the thing back to the car first.
When Dawei was stolen and sarcasticly signaling himself to escape from the sea of suffering, he did not expect that Wang Yong shamelessly handed the bag of more than ten kilograms of frozen pear in his hand to him, and said seriously that he was just a trip anyway, so I would send back the bag together.
