沉默寡言的小老太婆 Taciturn little old woman


默默无言,也不知道是拜几才来,小小的档口就摆在‘顺德会馆’的门前,时间是两三点,放学后有时走出门口,一望到她,惊喜万分,卖得都是我所爱吃得小食。

她的白发齐耳,梳得整整齐齐,前面的刘海用两个小夹子往后夹着。手一指你所要之物,她就用机械似的动作包给你。

篮子内装的有一玻璃瓶的脆蚕豆,一油纸袋盛的蒸熟蚕豆,我买的是口开开对着我笑得微咸软蚕豆,剥开皮丢入口中慢慢细嚼,一下子就全部吃个光光。

还有腌木瓜片,内有丝碎的辣椒,特别好味!腌猪皮也是如此泡制,吃完后连油纸沾着的汁都给我舐清光。


A very silent woman, didn’t even know which day she would come, her baskets were placed in front of the 'Shunde Association', may be two or three o’clock in the afternoon, sometimes as I stepped out of the front door after school, once beheld her, feeling very happy and surprised, because she was selling all the snacks that I love to eat.
Her white hair was at ears length, neatly combed, front bangs tucked back with two small clips. As you pointed to the titbit you wanted, she would wrap the snacks with a mechanical action and gave it to you.
Inside the basket there were glass bottle full of crispy broad beans, an oil paper bag containing steamed broad beans, I always had the brackish soft broad beans that looked like a big mouth smiling to me, slowly peeling the skin and thrown into my mouth as I pondered over, and finished within second.
The pickled papaya slices, with finely chopped chili inside, extremely good taste! The pickled pig skin was preserved the same way as the pickled papaya slices, I licked the sauce on the oil paper too after finishing the yummy snacks.
