#六月生活记录#
Author: Xiyun
My first memory of ice cream comes from a scene on a quiet summer street with old plane trees stretching out green umbrellas and casting shadows on the cement ground. At this time, there is always a magical freezer in the shadows, covered with a quilt, and the sides of the freezer are strung with ice cream wrappers into a colorful necklace, which is gently blown by the breeze and can easily hook the parched mouth.
I still remember the taste of the ice cream I bought from the magic freezer: red bean sorbet and mung bean sorbet, there are really red bean flavors and mung bean flavors; Corn sorbet, with a very tough ivory yellow crust on the outside, has an endless aftertaste when chewed; Alpin has a large fruit with orange-flavored ice on the outside and a sweet but not greasy slush inside; The green tongue, which softens after being exposed to the air for a long time, is exactly the same as the tongue, delicious and fun.
When I was a child, sorbet was better than popsicles, i.e. milk or cream was better than no milk or cream. The ice cream that I still remember is a double stick sorbet, one is pale yellow and the other is orange, and it tastes faintly creamy, with a pure aftertaste and an endless aftertaste. After many years, I have not found the double lollipop sorbet that I have eaten, and it has become the white moonlight in my heart forever.
I'm happy when I eat ice cream, but I'm fascinated when I can't. I read a love story about Dove. Leon, a guy who works as a helper in the back kitchen, and the unfavored Princess Bazaar fall in love, but they can't be together because of the difference in status, and the day before Princess Bazaar's marriage, Leon writes the word DOVE in chocolate on the ice cream for Princess Bazaar, which is the abbreviation of Do you love me. It's a pity that these letters melted, and Princess Bazaar didn't see it, and a pair of lovers missed it for a lifetime. When I was a child, I didn't feel much about this bitter love tragedy, but I did agree with one thing: the royal family is indeed a place where ice cream is often eaten.
At that time, although people were generally not very wealthy, ice cream was not expensive, it was a simple pleasure with high cost performance, and the most luxurious was only three yuan, but it was already comparable to the milky ice cream in KFC and McDonald's. I don't know when these cheap ice creams have been disgraced and replaced by various "ice cream assassins". The recently launched ice cream, the more delicious is poplar manna and bubble tea flavored, five or six yuan a piece, but it is not the most expensive.
I remember when I was in college, I saw a double lollipop cream and took it to the checkout in ecstasy, thinking that I could relive the joy of childhood, but I was dumbfounded when I paid for it - one ice cream cost 12 yuan. There was already a long queue behind me, and college students rarely struggled with the price, even though the university supermarket was really not cheap. So I was lucky enough to taste this expensive ice cream, the cream is lethal and makes people's throats ache. At the same time, the once luxurious KFC and McDonald's ice cream have become affordable food, at least McDonald's two ice creams are half price, three or four yuan each, and the clerks are often not stingy at all, filling the biscuit cones with ice cream.
Walking down the old street again, I always look forward to the appearance of the necklace freezer and bring me back to the leisure days of that time.
