把黄金贴在冰淇淋上的城市
Kanazawa in Japan makes almost all of the country's gold leaf, and wraps whole sheets of it around soft ice cream.

这份冰淇淋上贴的是真正的黄金。把这个故事分享给你那个爱吃甜食的朋友。在日本有一座古老的城市,叫金泽。你在那里买一份普通的软冰淇淋,然后会有人用一整张金箔把它包起来。
黄金被反复捶打,变得极其扁平,比一根头发丝还要薄。哪怕最轻微的一丝风,它都会晃动,所以工匠们操作时必须又慢又安静,连呼吸都不能靠近它。日本几乎所有的金箔都产自这一座城市,人们在这里制作金箔已经超过四百年。
这些金箔是可以吃的。黄金对人体无害,而且几乎没有任何味道,所以冰淇淋吃起来还是冰淇淋的味道,只是看起来像宝藏。人们举起冰淇淋,阳光一照,整条街的人都会转头去看。接着他们吃得太慢,或者一阵风吹来,金箔就滑落到路上,大家都笑了起来。
