在視覺、聽覺、觸覺等等所有記憶承載體中，味覺一定是最神秘的。它難以捕捉，但當它出現時，卻如電光火石般在腦中炸裂。記得《料理鼠王》里那個郁郁寡歡的美食家嗎？當味蕾匹配到正確的密碼，哪怕是小小的一個甜點，一袋零食，也能把我們瞬間拉回記憶最深處，穿越就是這么簡單。今天，讓我們來分享記憶深處的零食，找到小時候幾毛錢就能買到的簡單快樂。

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.

學校門口常常有小販在做，手里一個勺子，盛著糖漿隨便勾畫幾下，各種各樣的東西就出現了，什么孫悟空啦，小白龍啦，好吃又拉風，手里拿一串，看的身邊的小伙伴那個眼饞啊！

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!

幾乎是每個人嘴里嚼一塊，大家互相比，誰吹的泡泡更大，記得表姐小時候有一次吹個大泡泡，結果泡泡破了，整個都糊在臉上了。

Baby Face Ice Cream

娃娃臉雪糕

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.

當然我們還是喜歡叫它“雪人兒”，奶油巧克力味，比較貴，我記得是1.5元左右一根，還真不是隨便吃得起的，不過味道實在沒的說！

Malt Sugar Candy

麥芽糖

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“糖瓜兒”，過年之前的幾天會吃這個，一條一條的，幾毛錢就能買到，吃的滿嘴糊，粘牙，但味道就是那個贊！
