Chapter 92 Selling buns with candied haws

At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Ran took Liu Yifei to the home of the old man who sold candied haws and picked up the candied haws.

The old man saw that Liu Yifei had a very beautiful appearance, like a fairy in the painting, and couldn't believe his eyes: "It's very hard to sell candied haws. Can she do such a beautiful little girl?"

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "If she can't bear such a little hardship, she will not be qualified to be an actor."

Liu Yifei also said: "Grandpa, I can do it, I'm not afraid of suffering!"

The old man nodded in praise: "Okay, a good boy!"

Zhang Ran came out of the old man's house and carried a very long wooden stick on his shoulder. The top of the stick was wrapped in a white strip, and a string of candied haws were inserted on it, a total of one hundred strings. It looked bright red and very attractive.

Liu Yifei stared at the bright red candied haws, her beautiful eyes without blinking, so she was tripped and almost fell down when she went out.

Zhang Ran had already seen through Liu Yifei's thoughts and knew that the child was greedy. He chose a candied haw with good color and texture and handed it to her: "Little Greedy, eat it, and start selling it after eating!"

"Yeah!" Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly, picked up her slender hands and opened her cherry lips slightly, making the candied haws "gaba" sound, which was quite charming as "human face and peach blossoms complement each other".

Amid the sound of gamble, a bunch of candied haws was quickly swallowed by Liu Yifei, and then her eyes looked at the candied haws.

Zhang Ran reached out and clapped her head: "Hey, we are here to sell candied haws, not to eat candied haws! Now we start selling them! You shout first and let your teacher hear it, right?"

Liu Yifei rubbed her head, took a breath, and shouted loudly: "Candy candied haws, sour and sweet candied haws! Candied haws, sour and sweet candied haws!"

Zhang Ran was very dissatisfied with Liu Yifei's performance and taught: "Old Peking hawking is also called the voice of goods, commonly known as shouting. When you shout, you have to hold your energy and elongate the tones. Only when you can hear them across the two floors of the yard, you can come out to buy them. You must have both rules and artistry. You cannot shout blindly. If you shout in front of the door of the mansion, you must prolong the sound, so that the wives and ladies in the yard on the third and fourth floors of the yard can hear them, and you must also show elegance. When shouting in the downtown area, pay attention to short sounds and crispy sounds.

, loud, makes people sound clean and neat, and they want to buy it as soon as they hear it. In the early years, the shouts in the south and north of the city of Peking were different, and there were two factions. Take the shouts in the southeast city, the shouts in the southeast city were stubborn, there were many large houses in the northwest city, and the shouts of hawkers were elegant and deep. Most of the shouts near Wangfujing were young men, sweet and crisp. To shout well, in addition to having a good voice, there must also be life. Hawking art is truly derived from life."

Liu Yifei was stunned when she heard this, admired Zhang Ran very much, and her eyes were full of admiration: "Wow, it's so complicated! Master, you are so awesome and know so much!"

Zhang Ran naturally would not tell Liu Yifei that he had learned it now, and said inexplicably: "Of course, otherwise how could he be your master? Otherwise, how could the bandits in our class convince me! Remember that understanding of the world is knowledgeable. To be an actor, you have to grasp the characteristics of the character. This characteristic may be in appearance, action, or voice. Only by grasping the characteristics of the character can we play this character well. Do you understand?"

Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly: "I understand, Master! This is the practice of observing life, I will work hard!"

Zhang Ran showed a sensible expression: "Now we are in the alley, and we are selling long-lasting sounds. Okay, I will shout it first, listen to what I shout, and then learn from me! Ice-sugar-gourd--, sour and sweet-gourd-gourd--"

After Zhang Ran finished calling, Liu Yifei took a breath and shouted in her throat: "Ice-sugar-gourd, sour and sweet-ice-sugar-gourd-" Ying Sheng looked at Zhang Ran with excitement on his face and asked: "Teacher, how am I shouting?"

Zhang Ran nodded: "The breath is very strong, and the tone is right. However, if you use too much force and use too much strength, it will hurt your throat if you have a long time. Remember to use seven-point force."

Liu Yifei took a breath and shouted again: "Ice-sugar-gourd--, sour and sweet-ice-sugar-gourd--"

"It's very good, that's it, just shout!" Zhang Ran smiled and applauded, pushing the pole full of candied haws in front of Liu Yifei, "Hold it, this is your job, take it, shout as you go!"

Liu Yifei held the straw pole and felt it heavy. She pouted and said, "Master, you are not gentleman at all!"

"What is a gentleman? Can you eat it? Please, you are just selling candied haws now. Have you seen which one sells candied haws who will ask someone to help you carry straw poles? Besides, I am the master, you are an apprentice. The master is old, and now it is time for you to work!" Zhang Ran coughed and pounded his back, looking old.

"Master, why do you always pretend to be an elderly person?" Liu Yifei was speechless.

"I am a teacher, teacher, teacher, how can I call a teacher if I don't grow old?" Zhang Ran coughed, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward leisurely, "Okay, hurry up and go! Just shout as he walked!"

"Master is a big fool!" Liu Yifei snorted and chased after him with the straw pole. "Ice-sugar-gourd, sour and sweet-ice-sugar-gourd-gourd-"

"Ice-sugar-gourd--, sour and sweet-ice-sugar-gourd--"

...

The girl's crisp hawking sounded in the alley, which was very beautiful, like the singing of a yellow oriole.

There are few people in the alley and there is no customer for a long time. However, Zhang Ran has no intention of changing the path. He asked Liu Yifei to sell candied haws without asking her to sell her things, but hoped that she could experience life in this way. There is one advantage in selling candied haws in the alley, which must be lengthened and tuned, which is very exercising the human atmosphere.

After walking through the alley for more than ten minutes, Liu Yifei finally ushered in her first business.

A young couple walked over hand in hand. The man walked up to Liu Yifei and said, "Boss, give me two strings."

Before Liu Yifei could do it, he pulled out a string from the straw man himself, put it to his girlfriend's mouth, and smiled and said, "Come on, take a bite. You liked this one the most when you were a child, and see if it tasted like when you were a child."

"Yes!" The woman opened her mouth excitedly, and bit off half of the candied haws with the man's hand, and closed her eyes slightly and savored them carefully.

"How is it, is it delicious?" the man asked with a smile.

"It's so delicious. I haven't eaten such authentic candied haws for a long time. You can try it." The woman pushed the man's hand to his mouth.

The one that the woman pushed to the man's mouth was the half she had just bitten, and the man bit over with a smile on his face.

"How is it, is it delicious?" the woman asked with anticipation.

"Very good, this candied haws are really authentic, old Pekingese flavor!" the man said with a thumbs up.

Zhang Ran was speechless and thought to himself that you two showed love in front of the little girl. It was so sorrowful that he pulled out a string from the straw pole and handed it to the man: "Two strings cost 6 yuan!"

"Why is it so expensive?"

"Our candied haws are big and taste good. They are old craftsmen. The taste is so good, it is really expensive at all!" Liu Yifei smiled and said Zhang Ran's words.

The man was slightly stunned when he saw Liu Yifei's appearance, and then took out ten dollars from his bag, handed it to Liu Yifei, and then touched his girlfriend with his arm: "This little girl is so beautiful!"

Knowing that he wanted to sell candied haws, Liu Xiaoli specially prepared fifty yuan of change for Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei took out four yuan of change, handed it to the man, and smiled and said, "Thank you, big brother!"

My girlfriend deeply felt the same way. The little girl was so beautiful. She was so moved when she smiled. When she noticed that Liu Yifei was carrying a straw pole, Zhang Ran was standing leisurely next to her, and she felt contemptuous: "What's wrong with you, the brother? How can you let your sister carry candied haws, but she stood by herself?"

Zhang Ran didn't explain, looked at Liu Yifei and waited for her to explain. He was originally asking Liu Yifei to experience life. If he said everything himself, who was experiencing life?

Liu Yifei said: "He is not my brother!"

The woman became even more angry: "It's even more wrong with my boyfriend!"

Liu Yifei's pretty face turned red: "No, no, he is my master!"

Master? The man and the woman looked at each other and were a little suspicious: "Little sister, why don't you go to school but sell candied haws here?"

Liu Yifei explained: "My master is a teacher at Beijing Film Academy. I learned performances from him. Selling candied haws is an exercise in observing life!"

The couple laughed: "No wonder they are so beautiful. They are learning to perform and will definitely become big stars in the future! Little sister, you study hard, I hope you won't see you on TV in the future!"

"Thank you, big brother, big sister!"

When the couple walked away, Liu Yifei raised her face and said proudly: "Master, I've sold two strings!"

"I performed very well just now, but I still need to keep working hard!"

"Yeah, I will work hard!"

There were a hundred strings of candied haws on the straw pole, weighing more than ten pounds. Liu Yifei had never done such heavy work before, and she had to carry her shoulders over and over again. Later, she felt that her shoulders were a little hurt, but she did not complain or tell Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran soon noticed that Liu Yifei kept rubbing her shoulders and knew that she could not bear it anymore. She was spoiled and it was not easy to hold on for so long, so she picked up the straw pole.

Liu Yifei suddenly felt relieved, and even the hawking sound became much lighter: "Ice-sugar-gourd--, sour and sweet-ice-sugar-gourd--"

After walking for a while, Zhang Ran suddenly pulled Liu Yifei quietly and whispered: "Wait a minute!"

Liu Yifei was stunned: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay!" Zhang Ran frowned. Someone was following him. In order not to scare Liu Yifei, he did not tell the truth, "Stand here and don't move, I'll go over!"

"Okay, Master!" Liu Yifei didn't know what was going on, and she looked curious.

Zhang Ran carried the straw pole and walked towards the corner with big strides, then pointed the straw pole at a woman wearing a coat, sunglasses and a mask, and asked coldly: "Who are you? Why do you follow us?" He was not worried at all. The straw pole in his hand was very strong and he would never suffer any loss when fighting.
