Malted milk actually tastes really good, and it's not even the slightest bit stronger than the Cologne.
Unfortunately, it was later forced to die by capital.
The purity of malted milk in this era was very high, the taste was rich enough, and the sugar and fat content were very high. In later generations, this would be called a serious excess of calories, but now, it is indeed a very rare nutritional product.
It has even become a luxury drink.
At 6 yuan a can, the price is really expensive.
But for Niuniu who is severely malnourished, it is indeed the best and most suitable supplement.
For Niuniu, who had only licked popsicle sticks before, the first time she ate cream popsicles was when Xiao Du invited her to eat them yesterday, and the rich aroma of malted milk was like a dream paradise for her.
It's so sweet that I can't even open my eyes.
Niu Niu felt that the past two days had been very dreamy. Yesterday, she ate cream popsicles first, then got a tall and handsome brother, and got her first new clothes and new shoes in her life.
It was the first time I made a tricycle, and the food tank at home was also the first to be full.
Then today my brother came with a few city dwellers on bicycles and said that he wanted to build new houses, brick and tile houses. Only three of the more than 200 households in the entire commune live in brick and tile houses.
I just ate steamed buns and drank malted milk that was so sweet that I couldn’t open my eyes. My brother also said he would drink it every day in the future.
Niu Niu closed her eyes and started to shed tears, refusing to open her eyes for life or death. Xiao Du was stunned.
"What's wrong? Niuniu, are you blind?"
"Brother, I don't dare to open my eyes. I'm afraid this is a dream. If I open my eyes, you won't be there."
"Then if you don't open your eyes, I'll get angry, so I'll leave!"
"Brother, don't leave!"
Niu Niu was so frightened that she quickly opened her eyes, not daring to cry anymore, and threw herself into Xiao Du's arms.
"Hahaha, okay, why are you dreaming? Can dreams smell like malted milk?"
At lunch, the strong men were extremely satisfied with their lunch, even a little surprised.
The steamed buns are solid and delicate, with enough white flour.
Chinese cabbage and radish vermicelli stewed in oil residue has enough oil and water, enough salt, enough ingredients, and is very fragrant.
Basically, it is at the level of the Chinese New Year, and if you say you have enough control, you really have enough control, and let go.
Men also feel very dreamy. How long has it been since you had a full meal? How long has it been since you tasted such delicious food?
It's all tears.
So when we were working in the afternoon, we really all performed beyond our abilities. These guys worked like bulls without sparing any effort, because there was another Chinese New Year dinner that was exactly the same in the evening!
It would be great if we could build a house every day.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the brick and tile factory on the outskirts of the city successively delivered four carts of bricks and tiles, as well as linoleum.
It was said that there would be 4 more cars tomorrow, and the commune exploded in an instant. Two large tile-roofed houses were needed?
At least more than 100 yuan. It’s ridiculous. An ordinary family in a commune with two strong laborers can’t save 10 yuan a year.
This big tile house was built as soon as it was built.
At this time, people in the commune village were not only envious, but also a little bit jealous and a little afraid. What kind of extravagant person he was. When talking about tile-roofed houses, he just mentioned tile-roofed houses. With a simple word, all the bricks and tiles were in place.
This is not only a matter of money, it is also a matter of energy.
This era is both simple and kind, but also extremely vicious, so in order to protect the elderly Zuo Auntie and the young and ignorant Niu Niu, it is really necessary to have both kindness and power. The effect of respecting and fearing is not bad.
At 6 o'clock, the foundation was completed. In the afternoon, Yu Huaihai and Xiang Beifang had returned to the city. Yu Huaihai went to get cement and glass, while Xiang Beifang's task was to find out about the nearest elementary school to Zuojia Commune.
Children must study and not be illiterate.
The meal was as sumptuous as noon. Everyone ate and chatted with high enthusiasm and full of expectations for tomorrow.
After dinner, Yin Laoliu and Cui Carpenter directed eight strong men to build a simple brick shed in only half an hour.
In summer, sleeping in a shed is no problem at all. As for mosquitoes, just find some mugwort and light it on fire. It is a natural mosquito repellent.
Comrade Xiao Du returned to the city with Yin Laoliu and Cui Carpenter when it was dark.
I still live directly at Yu Huaihai's house. His house is cleaner and fresher than Xiao Du's house, mainly because there are not so many annoying things in the compound.
On the first day, we demolished the house and dug the foundation.
The next day, I collected some bluestone, smashed it on the bottom of the foundation, leveled it with gravel, and then applied cement.
Needless to say, Yu Huaihai is still very capable. In the morning, he and the boss personally brought cement, glass and 10 pieces of tofu. It is really easy to do things in the yamen.
Xiao Du told him about tofu last night. The food can't be the same every day. As a snack at noon, bean curd stewed in soy sauce.
Yu Huaihai, this grandson, sneaked out from work. He was so amazing.
The wood arrived in the afternoon, and Master Cui started to get busy. He had 8 strong young men to leave, and 2 dexterous men were specially assigned to help him.
He was about to start laying beams, building windows, and building doors.
Carpentry work is much more pleasing to the eye than bricklayer work. Watching the broken wood turn into wooden bars, and then slowly turn into windows and doors, is really good news for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
It was then that Master Cui’s true skills became apparent. There were 5 windows, 10 in total, and 5 sets of window frames. In one afternoon, he brought two helpers who knew nothing, including glass pullers and glass inlays. The work was done abruptly, and the efficiency was really scary!
It can keep up with the speed of building a house, and no time is wasted.
According to Master Cui, it takes a lot of work to make furniture, but doors and windows are easy to make. Besides, this rural house does not pay attention to fineness and beauty, and it is much easier to make it as long as it is strong and durable.
Xiao Du really didn't plan to buy furniture here. Xiao Du has always understood the principle of going too far and not doing enough.
Besides, Master Cui also said that the original furniture can basically be used, and some simple repairs will be enough.
Although the work of bricklayers is not pretty, the results are absolute. In one day, two brick houses have been erected, and even the kangs have been laid out, which shows how terrible the efficiency is.
With Yin Laoliu's supervision and advice, the house was built solidly and straightly, even the window frames were embedded, which was simply pleasing to the eye.
The onlookers were so shocked that they were a little numb for the past two days. The unconvinced carpenter and bricklayer from the village wanted to kneel down and become his master after watching for a while.
Impressed.
Fortunately, God has been kind to us and it has been sunny these two days. After the bricks and cement have dried overnight, we will make the chimney tomorrow and install the beams and tiles.
God-like speed.
On the morning of the third day, the chimney has been repaired, and the fire kang and stove have been lit and tested. There must be no problem.
In the afternoon, when it was time to put up the beams and tiles, Yin Laoliu and Cui Carpenter were absolutely a golden partner. Their cooperation was perfect and perfect.
While Yin Laoliu was repairing the chimney in the morning, Carpenter Cui was working on the door.
While Carpenter Cui was putting up the beams to make the roof of the shed, Yin Laoliu was polishing the walls with cement.
While Yin Laoliu was putting up the tiles, Carpenter Cui installed the windows.
So on the third day, two tile-roofed houses had been erected here and there. They were actually ready for people to live in, but the kang still needed to be worked on.
It's just that the temporary shed is gone, and the bricks are basically used, leaving less than 100 pieces, and the tiles are about the same.
It's pretty.
On the fourth day, the kang was completely dry. Yin Laoliu and Ni repaired the wall again, and built a small hut with adobe and remaining bricks. All the usable adobe bricks were used, and all the unusable ones were shoveled away.
Carpenter Cui painted the window frames and doors, repaired the furniture, installed electric lights in the house, laid mats on the kang, and made a courtyard gate out of various boards. Although it was rough, it stood upright.
In the afternoon, when dinner was approaching, all the furniture was moved into the house and the entire yard was cleaned from inside to outside. Comrade Xiao Du did not come until the afternoon on the fourth day.
I brought a full 20 kilograms of pork, 6 chickens, a box of liquor, 20 kilograms of rice, 20 kilograms of white noodles, and 100 kilograms of stick noodles.
The new house started cooking, and Aunt Zuo cried like a woman in tears while cooking. After living in a brick house for five days, the food tank at home was almost overflowing.
When have we ever had such a good life? Niuniu also cried and asked over and over again: "Can we always live here in the future?"
