Sour plum soup is a traditional refreshing drink in old Beijing. In the hot season, most people buy bayberry to make it by themselves, and put some sugar in it to remove the sourness. After being chilled, vendors also do this small business. There used to be an old man outside Harder’s Gate. He used to make a noise with ice cups (two small copper bowls) in his hand to attract people's attention and sell them while walking. "
