In the past, when school was over in Guangdong Province, the old man would wait for the children to come home under the kapok tree. The tree would bloom in March. When it opened, the leaves were bare, only the red flowers could be seen. At this time of the year, the old lady around would go to the tree to pick up flowers, take them back to dry soup, my mother has done such a thing, said kapok soup is very good, but how to do the good method, but did not say. Star fruit is ripe, but also see mulberry, but it is in front of the door, did not dare to pick, can only look at. Lychee flower broken to the ground, a vast expanse of white, can also see crabapple, chrysanthemum, rose, sorrel. The locals have the patience and joy to live their lives, the balconies are always bustling, and even a walk down the ordinary alleys offers views of the mountains and rivers. When I go to school, I have more free time, but I don't have much money. I can't go too far if I want to go out to play. I often go to the old street with my roommates on weekends. The main building of the old town is the arcade, upper and lower porch. I haven't been upstairs, so I don't know exactly what's inside, but I like the design of the hallway downstairs. Thick columns support the spacious space. Businessmen put samples on display outside, even if it is windy and rainy. Tourists are not afraid to forget their umbrellas when they go shopping. The name of the shop is also very interesting, most of them are named after "Ji", such as "Wang Ji roasted goose" and "cotton Ji sugar water", which has the smell of old days. That area planted a lot of magnolia trees and phoenix wood, magnolia tree is the local city flower, flowering when the day is hot, the campus also planted a lot, under the library. Hot afternoon, tired of reading, take a nap, wake up can smell the rich aroma. In addition to magnolia trees, the old street is much more phoenix wood. Flowers are in the graduation season, it is really in full swing, looking at the red, must be in a sunny day to watch, very lively. We always waited for the bus under a large phoenix tree, opposite the artificial river, the river is lined with litchi trees, the name of the street with a word "Lai", but I don't remember exactly what. I remember a teacher liked phoenix wood very much. He said the leaves of Phoenix wood were more beautiful than flowers. There were pastry shops in the alley, and the sweetness could be smelled in the distance. Zhitang once wrote an article about the pastries and candies in his hometown. He talked about the good polysaccharides, such as pear paste candy, dried eggplant and plum cake. It seems that plum cake contains yellow plum and licorice, which must be delicious. I commonly see in the old city is CAI sugar cake, poria cake, osmanthus cake, above will be printed on the red auspicious words, most of them are used for wedding, weekdays do not print; Also bought poria Cocos cake, a thin piece, light sweet, can not say too delicious, but listen to local students said Poria cocos cake to eat very good for the body. Tuckahoe is a medicine, make the pastry also brought the price. There is also a special food called "fried pile", "fried pile of a sesame egg, the dough, deep fried oil in a wok, empty, as big as a melon. Cantonese New Year Festival and wedding leave, as gifts." Fang Weng is also mentioned in the Nohak-am Notes. On holidays, my mother often went to help her friends to make a fried pile, not much flour, as long as a little can be fried a lot of, just out of the pot when crisp crisp, some hot mouth, just eat a little fresh, eat a lot of feel not interesting. Every time she sighed, obviously do not eat, but do so much. In addition, there is roast pork, also a Guangdong specialty, which is often made by time-honored brands. The shops are very busy and sell out quickly every day. There is also a pork shop downstairs in my house. My brother loves to eat it. After my mother buys it, she usually reheats it with just a little oil and refries it. I don't know how they do it, but the meat is always chewy, fat but not greasy. "Yue custom heaviest pig, marry a woman to complete, then the small family to feed the woman, the big family useful to 100 head, cover Kua rich also. If not, the media with the wedding dowry, carrying his daughter back." The book also has such records, it can be seen that fried pile, roast pork are the traditional food of Guangdong. Remember there is a street, called "Kwai Yi Road", I once in the street an old shop made two shirts, solid color small round collar, one white, one blue, very soft material. People walk in the alleys, sewing machines are whirling, the radio is babbling, the craftsmen at the door is weaving bamboo baskets, those colorful cloth quietly hanging layer after layer under the blue sky. On the way, my roommates would tell me stories about their childhood and lament how sad it was that the streets were becoming deserted. I can't remember whether it was the Lantern Festival or July, when I saw a picture posted by my roommate. She and her friends were lighting lanterns in an old alley, surrounded by a livid wall and a group of children playing around. You could hear laughter across the screen.
