Positive Reading丨Floating Light and Shadow: July of Baoquan Street

Click to listen to the audio

In mid-July, Zhengzhou could not hear the cries of Zhizhi.

But on the ash tree on Baoquan Street, a cicada clothes quietly appeared.

The opening on the back of the cicada's coat seemed to be laughing at me for being a step late. Today, under the scorching sun, it has successfully metamorphosed, flying up to the treetops, and its wings are stiff.

The leaves of the ash tree are not large, but dense.

At the table in the shade of a tree, wits are in full swing.

A number of card tables and chess tables extend from Baoquan Street to Yongan Street, Qingfeng Street, and inside and outside Lokomotiv Stadium.

Inadvertently, spectacular.

People who contemplate with their eyebrows, people who wave fans to offer advice, and people who lift weights like light.

Their wife was surrounding the melon cart on the side of the road.

Zhongmu's melon seller is tanned, with strong limbs, white teeth, and a bright smile.

His children, deftly climbing up and down among the green watermelons, with the joy of summer vacation.

Walnuts and peanuts are also on the side.

Fresh walnuts are born and taste sweet. After leaving it for a long time, it is like a snack wrapped in paper in the past, and it is oily.

Fried oil cakes, fried small fish, mung bean smoothie, sour and hot noodle fish, sesame oil steamed dumplings, white water sheep's head, fried hemp leaves, Xuchang hot tofu......

All kinds of vendor carts gradually converged at the street entrance, some shouting as they walked.

In this early day, how can you not have a bowl of noodles and fish?

Smooth and cool, salty, spicy and slightly sour, after a bowl, the dry fire dissipated, and the stomach began to growl.

In the braised meat shop on the street, there is a rumor that "if you want to have a good appetite, braised meat is indispensable; If you want to eat more, braised pork comes to a pot".

The aroma of meat wafts away.

The neon lights of the restaurants are lit up one after another.

Tieba small fried skewers, Luoyang shabu-shabu tripe, Wangjia soup dumplings, Fang Jianying barbecue, Yanqu old stewed noodles, Songjia oil noodles, pony fried chicken, Chongqing hot pot, Wang Po prawns, copper pot shabu-shabu, Heshengji stewed mutton, Zhang Laosan sesame sauce rice noodles.

Mu Ji Sauce Beef, Hai Ji Sauce Beef, and Li Ji Sauce Beef face off across the road.

There are also Guo family Zhuang buns in Puyang, and Ge Ji red stewed in Xinxiang is also there!

The small stainless steel square table of the black fat charcoal pot fish has been placed in the depths of the alley......

With such a temptation, what are you eating?

The fried vegetable corner on Qingfeng Street is a must-eat. The vegetable corners that have just come out of the pot are golden and crispy, soft and glutinous and spicy, and must not be let go.

Let's also have a pot of red stewed mutton, no side dishes, and another pot if you don't have enough to eat.

Full of wine and food, the sour plum soup at the pharmacy at the southeast corner of the intersection is a must.

It's a real thing, five yuan a big cup!

I vaguely remember that there was a Chef Li mushroom ramen next to it, and that bowl of mushroom-scented ramen had soothed me for many nights.

I vaguely remember that there was a restaurant selling vegetarian spicy soup for breakfast in the neighborhood, and the gentle soup for two yuan a bowl had started my new day.

I vaguely remember that in the family courtyard in Lunan, there was an old gentleman who sold soy sauce melon seeds, and the warm and salty watermelon seeds had accompanied me for many weekends with an uncertain future.

The child selling melons folded a paper airplane, and he sighed at the head of the plane and threw it hard.

This is by far one of the behaviors that confuses me the most.

Although I have passed the age of confusion, I still don't know, why is the child snorting at the paper airplane when it is thrown?

The paper airplane flew quickly and flatly, then suddenly raised its head, rose into the air, and rushed to the end of Baoquan Street.

At that moment, the sunset and evening shined like the old days.

I watched the trajectory of the plane as if it were flying towards a seventh-floor room where I used to live.

How many times have I stood at the window and looked at the street.

Watch the ash trees grow and people flicker in the shadows;

Watching people go out in the morning and return late in the evening, like swallows under the eaves;

looked at the little brother who sold melons at night, drinking beer alone under the street lamp;

Look at the snowflakes on a winter night, silently covering the streets;

Looking at the phone booth on the corner of the street, how many times have I run down the dark stairs waiting for the bell to ring......

Kant said that beauty is a kind of aimless pleasure.

Yes, when you get rid of time, when you get rid of distance, all you see is a quiet picture.

Just like this July night, the melon seller has fallen asleep under the street lamp.

His father was sitting next to the car, still drinking a bottle of beer.

A scarab, suddenly landing next to the child, slowly crawled towards his magnificent dream.

It's not an idle thing. There is a beetle in the desert that stands upside down and does not move on foggy days.

The mist slowly pooled into droplets at its tail and flowed down its smooth back into its mouth.

The boy in the dream is also incomparable.

He would dream of the fish of the North Underworld and turn into Peng. Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.

His father would watch him as he flew over July on Preservation Street.
