In Gaochun, there is no one in today's fifties or sixties who does not know the "Yue Ling industry", otherwise just like today's young people do not know "Fan Bingbing", that person will become a rare breed. Even if you have never seen the "Yue Ling Industry" and the small-footed old woman who never goes to the street, she must have heard of the "Yue Ling Industry that sells rat poison". Before the old street became famous, only "Yue Yanye" was the most famous in the old street.
Yue Yanye" is not surnamed Yue, his surname is Tang, as for the name and the words, there are very few people who know it, and no one has to verify who he is. In the sixties and seventies of the last century, people who had nothing to do on the street would go to the street in front of the "state-run hotel" to watch the "Yue Lingye" play tricks, and swallow a foot-long iron nail in their nostrils; There is a small handkerchief on the tip of the nose, and the originally soft little handkerchief is stiff and refuses to bend down; There is also a small trick, a half-catty of pork in the bamboo basket of a spectator became a bundle of vegetables in an instant, and a small mouse drilled out of thin air in a small handkerchief for a while, and "squeaked" sound, deliberately leaning towards the little daughter-in-law who shrugged her chest, the little daughter-in-law screamed, and withdrew from the crowd with a red face, causing the audience to laugh. And the performance also came to an end, Yue Yanye picked up a few packets of rat poison and shouted loudly: "The rat poison is sold cheaply, it was two packs of one dime in the morning, and now it costs five cents a pack." "Selling rat poison is his main business.
Gaochun State Hotel "is a desirable place, at that time the countryside rarely entered the city once, always have to buy something to go home, take a stroll on the street, see the sun crooked, stomach growling, only to remember that I haven't eaten Chinese food, there was no big money at that time, I bought two steamed buns in the "Gaochun State Hotel", and bought two meat buns for a little money, and passed the stomach. If you can order a few stir-fried dishes in the restaurant and drink some wine, you will be allowed to blow it for several days after returning home, which will make the people in the village envious, and you will inevitably talk about the "Yue Ling industry" in front of the restaurant.
At that time, people would feel lost if they didn't see Yue Yanye playing tricks on the street, and it would be a pity if they didn't watch Yue Yanye's tricks, just like theater ticket holders, who lamented a certain flaw in the admiration's singing. In particular, the children don't buy anything when they go to the street, and they just watch him play tricks, watching them over and over again. As long as you go to the street, you can watch it again. At that time, there were very few entertainment activities, and watching movies was the most exciting, no matter what the film, as long as you could go, you had to go, and some movie lines could be memorized, and you could take care of it, not to mention that the Yue Lingye who saw it sometimes improvised and created new tricks.
Today, Lao Cai will always be Lao Cai, it is older than in the past, but Yue Ling has withdrawn from the stage of Lao Cai. The protagonist of the curtain call is irreplaceable, and it is a pity that there is no old street without Yue Lingye, even if the old street is new every day, every day, but the nostalgia has nowhere to send, only distant memories, and the young people of today do not know the past that has passed.
Yue Lingye, who sells rat poison, I don't know how many packs of medicine can be sold in a day? He doesn't charge a penny for his tricks, how can he make a living? He entertains the public, I wonder if he has his own fun? In the dead of night, you may snore and go to bed calmly, fall asleep deeply, and have a good ......dreamThe mouse in Yue Yanye was silent, and the mouse in his hand could be a real mouse or an old lady's handkerchief.
I miss the era of "Yue Ya Ye".
