A few days ago, we signed an agreement to be the exclusive agent for Zunyi Internet celebrity-Lujia soil noodles, an authentic wheat soil-alkali handmade noodle made using traditional techniques. This noodle is not muddy and strong. Tao and somersaults may look earthy, but they are of the highest quality.
In the early morning, I picked up my mobile phone, posted a picture in the WeChat circle of friends and sent out the first shout: Sell noodles! This kind of silent shouting replaced by words suddenly brought back my memories of those loud shouts in the past.
In the countryside where I spent my childhood, the loss of people was limited to girls marrying out of town and people dying. However, the arrival of new lives and the marriage of girls from other places replenished the population. The countryside remained prosperous, unlike now, when everyone goes out. To work, the village is empty.
There are many beautiful memories in childhood, and naturally they also include those melodious and melodious shouts that are like singing.
"Mending leather shoes and replacing tin pot bottoms..." After a while, the high-pitched drawl of the Sichuan craftsman would always ring out in the village and could be heard from a distance. I admire the Sichuan people's shrewdness and hard work. At that time, no matter how remote the place, you could see them doing business and making decisions. But when I was young at the time, I only knew that their shouts were very charming and pleasant to hear. Their shouts were not monotonous. In their long drawls, high, low, soft and accented sounds alternated like waves, and their emotions could be revealed instantly. changes.
It can be seen that I am not the only one who is interested in such shouting sounds. Whenever this sound is heard, many children imitate it and smile heartily afterwards.
After more visits, some Sichuan craftsmen became familiar with the villagers, and they started to joke with each other. After a joke, the Sichuan craftsmen would sometimes yell back in a long voice: " Your mother sells - running around..."
The rural market was also very lively at that time, and there were many market days in January. In the countryside, all kinds of shouts and shouts are intertwined, one after another, like a symphony.
"Sell - Shayouluokou Shu", "Sell - fried rice, sugar and boiling water"... One day, I met with my friends to go to the rural market, and I couldn't help but the tempting shouts, we I went up close to see what "Sha You Luo Kou Shu" looked like. The result was dumbfounding. It was just a common saponin in our countryside.
My carefree childhood slipped away in a hurry. In order to study, I also went to the city, and I was the first person in the village to go out.
There are also shouts in the city, which are more abundant and dense than in the countryside. Among them are Sichuan craftsmen and local residents, both men and women. What I remember the most is the local man selling bean curds. Although he had never learned vocal music, his voice was high and deep, full of breath. When he took a breath, his voice was long and penetrating: "Selling beans." "Flowers..." His cries could be heard from a few streets away.
Every morning, I wake up from all kinds of shouts. They go from far to near, and then from near to far, like a faint time, making people feel like a dream.
As part of my work-study program, I also sold newspapers for a time and became the first "newsboy" in that small town. While walking around the streets on weekends, I also imitated those Sichuanese artists and made a noise: "TV Weekly..." But no matter what, my voice was not melodious. Perhaps it was due to my youthful youth or my lack of performance. talent.
At that time, I had only one competitor in selling newspapers, an orphan from Nanmen who had never studied and looked a little slovenly. They heard the sound of "car crash", so they took a detour to each other.
Occasionally, I think of this newspaper seller. I wonder how he is doing now. After decades, he must be old, and I am no longer young.
In my impression, in the mid-1990s, the shouting in the streets gradually decreased and finally disappeared in the wind. No wonder, the world is so noisy that no matter how hard they try, their voices will be drowned. In order to make their hawking sounds louder, small traders resorted to modern tools - loudspeakers. Although the sound was loud, it lost its charm. No one thought about the beauty of shouting anymore, and only pursued the breadth of the sound. So, like this The sound becomes noise, which makes people avoid it.
Because of this, Zhenning’s “Brother Cherry” became an Internet celebrity two years ago and became the target of media pursuit. "Brother Cherry" inherited the old way of shouting. Not only did he have a melodious voice, but he also made up jokes to sell Zhenning cherries. This traditional, long-lost business culture instantly evoked people’s fond memories. After its cries were uploaded to the Internet, netizens praised it one after another and received rave reviews.
Life has turned too many people into small businessmen and hawkers. However, too many people are unwilling to take on the challenges in real life, and instead type and sell online in a seemingly fashionable way. Comparatively speaking, I still miss those loud shouts. It is a kind of culture. Although it is loud, it is not noisy and has become the embellishment of life. The hawking in WeChat Moments has become a source of harassment, making people afraid that they will not be able to block it.
This morning, after the first call to sell noodles came out in WeChat Moments, while reminiscing about my life, I suddenly felt that I had fallen into the routine of life, so I wrote this article. When reflecting.
In this era where good wine is also feared by dark alleys, the traditional way of shouting may have become outdated. In order to promote themselves or their products, people have to shout desperately, but if you think about it carefully, you can find another way that is easier to accept. method may better achieve the purpose of promotion.
