visitor. "That's the Tower of London." "I see. How long did it take to build it?" "About 500 years." "In my
country we can build it in five months," said the visitor. Shortly after that they came to St. Paul's Cathedral.

烧饼葛

①每天凌晨四点半,小葛照例起床忙碌,烧水、和面、醒面;剁馅,搅馅上劲;五点四十分,面醒透,开始一遍遍折叠面坯,刷油;之后才是揪坯子包馅,擀薄面饼,撒芝麻;五点五十五分,第一炉饼入炉;五点五十八分,给上学去的孙子买烧饼的老人家已经在排队,心急火燎地抻着脖子看,第一炉饼是否能轮上自己。

②小葛是搞限购的,七点前的高峰时段,每人限买六个。他很牛,别看满头面粉就像在他的头发上下了一场雾凇,冬天,零下五六度的天,夹袄也不能有袖子(不然,伸胳膊到炉内贴饼不利落),冻得通红又烤得通红的两条光胳膊上,戴一副花护袖,样子滑稽。但他就有通身的本事,让白领们也寻香而来,先把车停在老远的停车场,穿小巷、过窄桥,再穿小巷,到他这里来,老老实实排长队

③小葛有啥本事?原来,如今打烧饼的人技艺下降,有馅料的烧饼几乎全赖电烤箱烤制。小葛的烧饼,敢包着鼓鼓的馅料下火炉,钳上来不掉酥皮不破相,真是本事;会吃烧饼的人,好的就是烧饼咬开的第一口,扑鼻的烟火气。按小葛的话说,电是死的,炉火是活的,电烤箱烤出来的烧饼,就像“做题做呆了的傻小子”,单是熟了,一点香气和趣味也无。炉火燎出来的烧饼,香气是立体的,这一面和那一面、外壳和内芯的香气完全不一样;火候恰到好处时,烧饼壳上的白芝麻都被燎成金黄色;做馅料的野葱和萝卜丝,辛辣劲全无。骨子里的甘香绵柔,一层层发散出来。

④小葛凡事爱琢磨,这跟他的经历有关。在小葛的老家,男孩子若是子承父业要做烧饼的话,一般从十八岁就开始练习各道工序了。小葛心高,高中毕业后,在外面换过四五份工作,保安、仓库保管员、安检员、流水线上的操作工,都干过,这一耽误就是十年。母亲一直担心家传的好技艺会断了档,父亲却说,你由他去,心里不甘愿,打出来的烧饼没人吃。

⑤果然,到二十九岁,小葛带着老婆孩子回了家,恳求跟父亲学做烧饼。父亲说,好啊,老规矩,先揉半年面。把面揉活了,我再教你第二步。

⑥起初揉面,小葛那个狼狈,光是夏天不能用空调和风扇就够他受的。小葛开玩笑说:“着了风面团就感冒了,起硬皮儿,再怎么揉,都不会起那层活泛的光。”揉面就像练功一样,讲究的是一气呵成,中间最好别有停顿。小葛刚开始不懂,揉面时觉得眼皮重,照镜子一看,眼睫毛上都是白面粉,就去舀瓢冷水洗了脸。好嘛,就耽误这么点工夫,那炉饼就被父亲的老客挑毛病“面没发妥”。父亲问他中途是否走开,小葛才恍悟那个脸冼坏了:“回来就感觉面团的外面有点发硬,加上洗过脸手温低,面就醒不到位。”补救的秘方父亲也教给他:添一饭勺的蜂蜜,一大团面就救回来了。但这样做增加成本,而且饼偏甜,有些客人不见得喜欢。

⑦打十年烧饼,日复一日,有没有厌倦的时候?小葛笑:“做一万个饼,能跟做第一个那样有兴致,搁谁都是个难题。”支撑小葛把事情做下去的,是一位快九十岁的台湾老兵,老人家苏州人,二十岁之前在苏州和南京都住过,自八十二岁起,发宏愿要回来找“小时候的味道”,曾一个人在苏州小旅馆里住了十天,换不同的面馆吃了二十三碗焖肉面,“没有一碗达到我小时候的水准”,这种“回不去了”的怅惘,简直无法言说。还好,他回南京寻访故旧时,老友的孙媳给他买了“小葛烧饼”,老人吃得热泪直流,说要带一百个烧饼回台湾,“原来老味道还没有绝迹”。

⑧那天,小葛破例为这位客人多出了四炉饼。台湾老兵让他意识到,把看似微不足道的手艺传下去是有意义的,它跟每个游子牵着魂,绊着魄。
