Ji'nan Street candy is not a price increase is "thin".
text / newspaper reporter Qiu Jianguo
the cold, the streets of Ji'nan sell ice sugar gourd up again. Ice sugar gourd is one of the favorite snacks of city citizens in winter. Many old Ji'nan are affectionately known as "acid dip". Because they are sweet and sour, and the price is not high, adults and children like to buy a bunch of tasting.
but if you want to experience a feeling of "sour in acid" immediately, you may find that this year's ice sugar gourd is not a price rise or a "lean". Hawkers say hawthorn, sugar and gas have all gone up in price. The rise in price of sugar coated gourd and the "downsizing" are all helpless measures to deal with rising costs. What I need to remind you is that although the sugar coated gourd is delicious, it's time to "relax" during the taste.
.gt;.Gt; the public reflected
the delicious ice sugar gourd rose at the price of
lower than the original,
as the weather turned cool, the ice sugar gourd appeared again on the streets of the city, the crowded night market, and the ice sugar gourd stall. Many people found that the price of sugar coated gourd increased this year.
"two yuan last year can buy a string of pure Hawthorn" acid dip ", the cheapest this year will be two yuan five. On the night of 11, Ms. Lu, a resident of Xiyuan District, took her grandson to the night market. She wanted to buy a bunch of ice sugar gourd for the children. She found that some of the ice sugar gourd was expensive and some "short" compared with the past year.
Ms. Lu told reporters that the Jinan people called Hawthorn "sour Hawthorn", the ice sugar gourd called "acid dip". In her impression, the ice sugar gourd was also a piece of money in the early years. This year, the price rose suddenly. Last year, it could not buy less than two yuan, and the cheapest is two pieces of five. "
" this thing is cheap, and a lot of people may not feel it, because Sun Tzu likes to eat it. I will buy it every year. I find that the ice sugar gourd is more and more expensive and shorter in the two years. " Ms. Lu said that some hawkers did not raise their prices, but reduced Hawthorn from 10 to seven or eight in each string.
according to MS Lu, all varieties of sugar coated gourd this year have all gone up in price.
.gt;.Gt; reporter survey
the ice sugar gourd was more expensive than last year's
5 wool to 1
11 to 13 day, and found that both the "acid dipped" from the hawthorn, or the ice sugar gourd with orange and other fruits, rose to a certain extent, from 0.5 to 1 yuan.
11 nights later, the small stalls selling ice sugar gourd on the night market near Xiyuan district were doing well, and from time to time, people came to buy them. The reporter noticed that the ice sugar gourd on this stall is divided into 4 kinds: one is pure hawthorn, 2.5 yuan, one is with orange petals, a string of 3 yuan, and two are yam and yam, the former is 3 yuan, and the latter is 1.5 yuan.
booth owner told reporters that compared with last year, this year, each string costs 5 cents, "this year it started to rise."
the night of 12, a peddler who sold ice sugar gourd near Hong Lou square told reporters that he was also starting to raise prices this year. "This is a bunch of 3 pieces of hawthorn, you don't look at the price. I have 10 hawthorn, some people sell two dollars, but only seven or eight hawthorn. Besides, hawthorn is also big and small. I can pick it out one by one. When I string up 5 hairs, I get a piece of it.
there are small stalls selling ice sugar gourd near the city's large market. A reporter found that the "guerrilla" peddlers in these places also chose to increase the price in these places on the 13 day.
.gt;.Gt; traders said that
gas sugar Hawthorn has gone up in price
no price is no money to make
the reason for the rise in price and "lean", the peddlers have no exception to say that it is the helplessness to deal with the rising cost. The peddlers on the night market near the Xiyuan District told reporters that all kinds of materials for making ice sugar gourd have increased this year. "Gas, sugar, hawthorn are all rising, and the price does not make a profit at all."
hawker selling ice sugar gourd near Honglou square said that in addition to the price increase of raw materials, human factors should also be considered. "It's really troublesome to make ice sugar gourd, and every one has to cut into the core, and then string up again, but also to boil sugar juice, if a few kinds of fruit are more troublesome, busy living a day can not do much. My fellow townsman works in a decoration company. He can earn three thousand or four thousand in a month, and we are not as good at working as others. He said.
it is understood that the price of sugar has indeed risen this year. And reporter 12 in Xiyuan neighborhood near the fruit and vegetable market visit, found that good quality Hawthorn sold to 4 yuan a Jin, a little difference of a bit to 3 yuan to 3.5 yuan a Jin. The vendor says the price is a little higher than last year.
, however, the town of haw in Hebei, which is known as the township of the hawthorn, has recently spread out the unmarketable news of the hawthorn. The local Hawthorn purchase price is only 5 cents per Jin. Even though the Hawthorn in the city's city is really rising because of transportation, a catty of Hawthorn has dozens, and the impact on the cost of ice sugar gourd is not very much. It can be seen that the price of hawthorn is not the main reason for the price of ice sugar gourd.
.gt;.Gt; reminding
the uneven quality of the ice sugar gourd
the street stall health condition is worrying
some citizens may feel "dental" when eating ice sugar gourd. A peddler told a reporter that it was probably because the hawthorn was not washed at all. On the one hand, it was an ice sugar gourd. On the other hand, it was easy to rot and dipped in sugar after the haw was washed. "Most of the ice sugar gourd is not washed by the hawthorn, as I know."
the peddler said that the ice sugar gourd dipped in sugar is also very exquisite, can be dipped in more, and can be less dipped, not carefully looked at the root, but the taste difference is very big, more important, in order to make the sugar juice thinner, let the ice sugar gourd better look, many people will also add citric acid into the sugar juice. "This is the public secret of doing this, I don't know that it's harmful, someone says it's going to cause cancer, so I don't need it for a long time, but I know a lot of people are using it now." He said.
the reporter found that citric acid is a common food additive. It is common in drinks, and the appropriate dose is harmless to the human body, but some harmful substances may be produced during the heating process.
in addition, the ice sugar gourd on the street stall is mostly "three no" products, some are put on the "grass handle" on the open air, some are directly processed in the three wheeled motorcycles, after processing, they are put on the side, and then the paper bags are set up when someone buys, that is, the use of the glass cover, Jae Hee hustle and bustle. It is also hard to avoid dust in the crowd. Hygiene can not be guaranteed at all. For their own health, the public should choose a relatively regular shop to buy ice sugar gourd.
