Origin Story
在一个热闹的集市上，一位卖糖葫芦的老爷爷正热情地吆喝着，吸引着来来往往的人。突然，一位穿着华丽衣裳的公子哥走了过来，看着老爷爷的糖葫芦，冷嘲热讽地说：“你这糖葫芦也太丑了吧，颜色都这么暗淡，谁会买呀？”老爷爷并不生气，只是淡淡地笑着说：“公子，您说的没错，我的糖葫芦确实没有那些精致的糖葫芦好看，但是，我的糖葫芦用的是最上等的红糖，酸甜可口，价格也实惠，您不妨尝尝？”公子哥听了，虽然嘴上还带着一丝不屑，但还是买了一串糖葫芦尝了尝。没想到，糖葫芦的味道真的很好，公子哥顿时觉得不好意思，羞愧地低下了头。
In a bustling market, an old man selling candied haws was enthusiastically shouting, attracting people coming and going. Suddenly, a young man in gorgeous clothes came over and looked at the old man's candied haws, sarcastically saying, “Your candied haws are too ugly, the colors are so dull, who would buy them?” The old man didn't get angry, just smiled faintly and said, “Sir, you're right, my candied haws are not as beautiful as those exquisite candied haws, but mine are made with the best brown sugar, sweet and sour, and also affordable. You can try it.” The young man listened, although his mouth still had a touch of disdain, he still bought a string of candied haws and tasted it. Unexpectedly, the candied haw tasted really good, the young man suddenly felt embarrassed and lowered his head in shame.
