Original title: I have been looking forward to it for four years, and I have finally come to sweet memories.
The stage was full of joy, and the audience was moved. On that day, many "old city north" were invited to the opening ceremony of the scene, they laughed with the actors on the stage, were busy taking pictures, interacting, and fully integrated into it - this is their festival, and those good memories that have been looking forward to for four years are back.
People are drumming!
Jiaozhou Road "burst reform" pedestrian street
My family used to live in Haiun'an, and I went to the Sugar Ball Club every year! This year's 69-year-old Wang Yumin said that the Qingdao Radish Lantern Festival Sugar Ball Club has not been opened for several years, and it feels that the New Year is lacking. This time, I heard that the festival would be restarted, and I was invited to attend the opening ceremony, which was very exciting. She said it was a fond memory of her Spring Festival every year.
Equally excited was 65-year-old Du Shiying, who lives near the children's park, and arrived at the meeting point at 7 a.m. to attend the opening ceremony at 10 a.m. "In the past, this festival was so lively and so good. In the past few years, the epidemic has been very depressing, but this time the Qingdao Radish Lantern Festival and Sugar Ball will be held again, and my heart is full of hope and I am very happy. She said that although the venue has changed, she feels the same as before, and the feeling of visiting the turnip club and sugar ball club when she was a child has returned.
This year's 74-year-old Yi Xuezhen is also very touched, and what she sees is more new changes. Born in 1949, as the secretary of the first grid branch of Dalian Road Community, Liaoning Road Street, she has been silently contributing to the grassroots of the community, and has also been elected as a good person in Shandong. Her life has witnessed the growing strength of the country and the continuous growth of the city of Qingdao. She said that from the changes of Qingdao Radishes, Lantern Festival, and Sugar Ball Club, we can see the rapid changes of the times, "It is indeed different from before, and this year's opening ceremony is very novel, giving ordinary people more stages to show." In her view, Qingdao Radish Lantern Festival Sugar Ball Club is the window of urban civilization and the concentrated embodiment of the happy life of ordinary people.
With this touch, I walked out of Guangxingli and integrated into the cultural and leisure block of Dabao Island, crowded ** and lively shouting, so that the strong festival atmosphere came to my face. Whether it is helping the old and the young, or a sweet couple, they are adding new sweet memories to their own Qingdao radish, Lantern Festival, and sugar ball club.
Especially in this year's block, Jiaozhou Road was temporarily changed into a pedestrian street, and it has become the main block of the Spring Festival Market. The lively and festive dragon gate, the newly decorated door, and the colorful lanterns all make people linger. After the original spacious road was "renovated" into a pedestrian street, there was more space advantage, so that the merchants could throw off their arms and spread their arms, and the public also had more choices, such as shabu-shabu, stinky tofu, osmanthus cake and other special snacks, grilled skewers, ice cream, rice cakes, etc.
Not only Jiaozhou Road, but also the stalls in the entire Dabaodao cultural and leisure district. Citizens and tourists also let go of tasting, and the grand occasion of filling the trash can with sticks was staged again and again.
It's so sweet!
The dragon candy ball appears in the sugar ball tube enough
If you want to say that Qingdao radish Lantern Festival sugar ball is the most sought after, of course, it must be regarded as sugar ball. The brands and booths of sugar balls are also one of the most popular categories on site. If you don't eat a bunch of sugar balls, you won't be considered visiting Qingdao Radish Lantern Festival Sugar Ball Club.
Gaojia Sugar Ball used to be one of the booths that people must check in when they visited Qingdao Radish Lantern Festival and Sugar Ball Club every year. And in the bustling crowd, you can see Gao Shixiang, the third-generation inheritor of the Gao family's sugar ball, at a glance.
Gao Shixiang focused on introducing the new dragon candy ball to everyone this year. The dragon sugar ball is a combination of the sugar ball and the sugar painting dragon, which is festive and auspicious, and has a beautiful meaning. He said that this candy ball is not difficult to make, mainly creative, "As a folk artist, it is easy to make it with creativity." ”
The dragon candy ball is also as varied as the legendary dragon, and the sugar painting can be combined with many varieties of sugar balls to produce different effects. A sugar painting costs 20 yuan, plus the selected sugar ball, and the "artifact" is in hand.
Gao Shixiang said that this year, the Qingdao Radish Lantern Festival and Sugar Ball Club were held in Dabao Island for the first time, and the amount was very large. The family has prepared 4 booths at each venue, and they have also prepared enough goods to meet the needs of customers.
Not only that, Gao Hongliang, the inheritor of the Gao family's sugar ball, came to the stage more this year to get busy, and the sugar ball also had a stronger sense of inheritance. "In 2021, we also exported candy balls to South Korea. Although we have not been busy with the sugar ball club in the past three years of the epidemic, we have been working hard in the research and development of new products and cultural and creative products. He introduced that for this year's sugar ball meeting, they also designed a badge with sugar ball elements, and the fourteenth day of the first lunar month will be unveiled at the venue of Haiyun Temple.
In my impression, Qingdao radish, Lantern Festival, and sugar ball will be the symbol of Qingdao people's New Year. He said that his busyness is also waiting for the fulfillment.
There is a candy ball booth every few steps, and Yao Ming, the person in charge of the Liu family's sugar ball, was also busy at the stall that day. "This year as a whole, there are more **. It hasn't been opened for three years, and it has changed to a new place, and people feel fresh, down-to-earth, and feel more festive for the New Year. He said that for this year's Qingdao Radish Lantern Festival Sugar Ball Club, they are fully prepared and stocked, and more than 20 kinds of sugar ball patterns have been prepared.
He introduced that Liu's sugar balls have been sold since the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and they can sell tens of thousands of yuan every day when they are good, and they can sell seven or eight thousand strings a day. Judging from the Spring Festival market a few days ago, the overall consumption is also okay, although it is slightly inferior to before the epidemic, but he believes that there will be a slow recovery process, especially after the official opening, I believe it will be better, and he is confident.
