餅(ビン)売り 雨ではなく快晴。我らが餅売りは、誇らしげではないにしても、いささかポーズをとっているのである。彼の商品もまた、日除けを必要とする。餅は、米、小麦粉、ラードを混ぜ合わせたゾッとするような代物で、ラードが大部分を占めている。ぎらぎらした日差しに晒されると、餅の外観は、売り子のそれと同じように、見栄えを損ねかねない。いずれの場合も油脂が大きく関係している。竹の骨に油紙を貼って作られた傘は、いささかくたびれている。我らが餅売りの貧しさは、彼の本意ではない。餅は、中国人が非常に好んで食するものではあるが、大抵の場合、財産を築くもとにはならず、立派な店を構えることはおろか、屋台もつことすらめったにかなわないのである。AN ITINERANT PIEMAN. The weather is not rainy, only sunny, and our pieman has a complexion of which, if he is not proud, he is at any rate conscious. His wares, too, need shelter. They are ghastly compounds of rice, flour, and pork fat, the latter vastly predominating and if exposed to the burnished sun their complexion, like that of their master, is liable to be misliked. Grease in each case has much to do with it. The umbrella made of oiled paper stretched over splinters of bamboo is somewhat dilapidated. Our pieman's poverty not his will consents. Pies, though eagerly devoured by the Chinese, are not usually a source of wealth, and it is seldom that the vendor attains the dignity of a shop or even of a street stall. |
