糖人

　　Sugar Figure

　　糖人

　　In the olden times, you could always find peddlersmaking sugar figures at the school gate. First, the maker takes alittle maltose with a small spoon, and then shapes the softmaltose by hand, blowing gently, using his hands to form afigure, such as Sun Wukong, White Dragonet, and so on. Thesugar figure is not only tasty, but also makes one cool. If onechild bought a sugar figure, all his/her peers would crowd around and admire it。

　　学校门口常常有小贩在做，手里一个勺子，盛着糖浆随便勾画几下，各种各样的东西就出现了，什么孙悟空啦，小白龙啦，好吃又拉风，手里拿一串，看的身边的小伙伴那个眼馋啊！

大大泡泡糖

　　Dada Bubble Gum

　　大大泡泡糖

　　Almost every kid is fond of chewing bubble gum. They also gather together to see who gets the largest bubble. I still remember that my cousin once blew a big bubble and the bubble burst, covering her face with gum!

　　几乎是每个人嘴里嚼一块，大家互相比，谁吹的泡泡更大，记得表姐小时候有一次吹个大泡泡，结果泡泡破了，整个都糊在脸上了。

娃娃脸雪糕

　　Baby Face Ice Cream

　　娃娃脸雪糕

　　We prefer to call it snowman ice cream. It has a milk chocolate flavor and tastes verydelicious. It was rather expensive; I remember the price was 1.5 Yuan per piece, which was noteasy to afford in those days。

　　当然我们还是喜欢叫它“雪人儿”，奶油巧克力味，比较贵，我记得是1.5元左右一根，还真不是随便吃得起的，不过味道实在没的说！

麦芽糖

　　Malt Sugar Candy

　　麦芽糖

　　Malt sugar candy is usually called Tangguar in northern China, and is offered during afew days before the Spring Festival. It’s cheap and you can get several pieces for a few cents. It’svery sticky and delicious!

　　北方叫做“糖瓜儿”，过年之前的几天会吃这个，一条一条的，几毛钱就能买到，吃的满嘴糊，粘牙，但味道就是那个赞！
