The taste of childhood-pineapple wind
I went out for a walk last night and bought a pineapple on my way back.

There is no shortage of fruit at home on weekdays. There are always fruits such as apples and bananas at home. After all, eating more fruits is good for your health. Besides, the fruit is delicious. However, pineapples are rarely bought at home, and the price is not a problem. I just often buy apples and bananas at home. These two fruits are as indispensable and irreplaceable as daily necessities. In short, it can be regarded as improving food. I bought a pineapple.

? I especially like pineapple, and I am amazed by its appearance, taste and strange peeling method. But if I trace back to the source, my love for pineapple actually comes from sorbet.

? We call popsicles and ice cream "sorbets". When the weather was hot when I was a child, there would be vendors selling sorbet with tractors in the family area, which would bring excellent benefits to our children in summer. They have the most crying in our small world: it must be men who shout, and the uncle who sells sorbet will suddenly shout "batch of sorbet!" " A batch of popsicles! "People passing by or chatting nearby are suddenly surprised, but the uncle himself is very calm from beginning to end. Even when yelling, his ears are definitely not red and his neck is not thick. This thunderous cry can be heard clearly in every corner of the family area! However, it may also be because children have sharp ears. This kind of propaganda must be mixed with local accent to be delicious! In other words, I didn't know dialects when I was young, but only when I heard every word clearly can I learn it well. Hey hey.

? There is no doubt that this is such a big surprise for us children. Since long summer, we have been looking forward to the arrival of tractors covered with white or light blue quilts. I am also deeply looking forward to the thunderous call. When I was a child, I was always curious: sorbet is obviously afraid of heat, why do you have to cover it with a thick quilt? For this reason, I specially asked my uncle who bought sorbet, and was told that it was to keep warm. But this makes me even more puzzled: "heat preservation, is it afraid that the sorbet will get cold?" At that time, my understanding of "heat preservation" was "keeping warm". Alas, I was puzzled for a long time.

? At that time, I had deeply realized the pain contained in the word "hope": you missed it, and every time you accidentally remembered it, a passion emerged in your body. This kind of agitation is like a small fire, which burns slowly in the body and is the most scratching. And in that obsession, it is a pinch of mountain spring, clear and cool. As long as it finally appears, it can not only drive away the fire in an instant, but also bring satisfaction. But it didn't appear in my heart, and the fire in my heart was aroused by it. Turbulence leads to deeper hope, and unsatisfied hope leads to more grinding agitation. Pain. The uncles who sell sorbet seem to be very naughty, too. They seem to be adding firewood to our hearts. When our hearts are burning and burning out, they will slowly drive into the family area in a tricycle. When they were calm and just right, they shouted "batch of sorbet-"with a local accent.

? As long as the cry rings, no matter what important things you are doing at this time, no matter whether you are in a good mood or not, no matter how good or bad you are, dopamine, adrenaline and thyroid hormone will suddenly erupt like a flood with that cry! Try to ask your parents for five dollars, ten dollars and twenty dollars, and then run to the long-awaited phone call. You will feel like a soldier, but the front is not a battlefield, but freedom and beauty, even happiness. However, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a battlefield. After all, I am not the only child in the family area. There are always some children who are closer to my home and run faster than me. By the time I finally arrived, the tricycle was already crowded with people-some uncles, aunts and grandparents would also join in the fun. At that time, we often complained that the ice cream truck was parked downstairs, and those who were far away from home always had to run a few more steps and wait in the crowd for a long time. Showing off is to show off how many ice creams my grandmother bought for herself when the ice cream truck stopped downstairs, or she bought delicious ice cream first. It is said that there are three ice cream sellers, two big blue tractors and a small yellow tricycle (this one is not common). These three companies stop at those fixed places every year, with little deviation. Is this also a kind of persistence? Anyway, what I envied most at that time were those friends in the building closest to those fixed points. It's like getting the moon near the water tower. Damn it.

? There are also several kinds of sorbet that can be remembered most often and favorite now. Mung beans, red beans, chocolate shells, and several brands that are quite popular with children: little pudding, little prince, old popsicle, ABC, popsicle, and so on. The biggest wish of each batch of sorbet is to buy all kinds of sorbet back. Not only that, well, buy more of each. At this time, I should echo the beginning of the article. I remember that my favorite brand is called "pineapple wind", and the shapes of sorbet are very different: others are generally flat and chubby, others are nothing more than cylindrical, but pineapple wind is spiral, just like a peeled pineapple; In addition, other sorbet sticks are nothing more than flat short sticks, and pineapple sticks are round sticks. So different and unique, I still remember it after more than ten years. Of course, what impressed me most was its taste. It is worth mentioning that children are very picky because of their keen sense of taste. There is a kind of snack that he can't put down, and it goes without saying that he will never forget it when he grows up many years later. But I still can't help saying something here. The taste of pineapple wind is expensive in one word "true". I bought a pineapple for comparison, and it tastes almost like a real pineapple. You know, a child's tongue can really taste the subtle differences between the two foods. My love for pineapple wind is purely because of its "true taste" (covering my face). In addition, pineapple is weathered into sugar water, and the taste of sugar water is still tasteless. This is really commendable. In my personal experience, after many fruit-flavored sorbets melt, the taste of sugar water is always different, and some sugar water is even a little irritating. That's why I hated sorbet turning into water when I was a child. But pineapple-flavored sugar water has no peculiar smell. Sugar water is naturally sweeter than sorbet, but it won't irritate the throat. In addition, the pineapple flavor is also very attractive. Therefore, "pineapple wind" has become my favorite. But strangely, no one seemed to be so fascinated by pineapple wind like me at that time. I was confused.

? At the time of writing this article, I found a "pineapple wind" on the Internet Baidu, wondering whether the taste of childhood is worth remembering. On the one hand, maybe this kind of sorbet has a history, and maybe someone loves it as much as I do, so I can "find the same kind". Unfortunately, nothing was found. Nothing, although I didn't expect it, but fortunately I wasn't surprised. But some unwilling. I don't want to, just show Mix what I can find. Hey, hey, somebody remembers. Satisfied.
