"Chunming! Chunming! Hurry up and deliver the things to your master. Remember to ask him to come over and have New Year's Eve dinner together!"
Mr. Guan's son is far away overseas and rarely returns home on weekdays. Now every household is busy celebrating the New Year and it is very lively. Mr. Guan's family has only one granddaughter to accompany him, which is too deserted.
Mother Han knew what kind of temper Mr. Guan was. All the children at home came back today at noon. It was a full house. Mr. Guan would definitely not come to join in the fun.
After all, the old man also has a granddaughter with him. If he is alone, the old man will definitely not mind.
Therefore, Han's mother told Li Jie to let the old man come over for dinner and not invite him for lunch. However, Han's mother did not completely let go. She prepared some hard dishes for her son to bring over, and he could eat them as long as they were warmed up.
.
The so-called "hard vegetables" are vegetables with a lot of meat. Compared with the early 1970s, the supplies are much more abundant now. During the Chinese New Year, the government deliberately increased the supply in order to let the people who had worked hard for a year have a good year.
The supply of grain, oil, meat, fish, eggs, sugar, various vegetables, cakes, dried and fresh fruits, canned and other non-staple foods, and even milk powder has increased a lot, and specialties from various places have also appeared.
In supply and marketing cooperatives, for example, sausages from Guangdong Province, hams from Sichuan Province, and game meats such as pheasants and hares are available.
This year is a special year. The sports movement is over this year, and my younger son has a job. More importantly, the college entrance examination has resumed, and my younger son seems to have done quite well in the exam.
Perhaps the old Han family is about to welcome a college student. With so many things coming together, Han’s mother can’t even smile from ear to ear.
As early as a week before New Year's Eve, preparations for the New Year began, and all kinds of New Year's goods seemed to be free of charge and had to be bought at home.
"Okay, I'll come as soon as I finish putting up the New Year pictures!"
At this moment, Li Jie is putting up New Year pictures in his room. In this year and month, in addition to the indispensable New Year goods, Spring couplets, window grilles and New Year pictures are also necessary items. Who doesn't put up Spring couplets and hang New Year pictures during the New Year?
After posting the last New Year picture, Li Jie clapped his hands and admired the masterpieces of the morning. The Spring Festival couplets at the door were written by him, the New Year pictures inside the house were painted by him, and only the window grilles on the windows were cut by Han Mu.
As soon as these things were put on, the smell of the whole room instantly changed, and it was filled with a strong flavor of the New Year.
This year is his first Spring Festival after entering the dungeon. Not only that, it is also his first time to celebrate the Spring Festival in the 1970s. He still remembers that when he was a child in the orphanage, what he feared most every year was the New Year.
Although the courtyard would organize everyone to clean up, make glutinous rice balls, eat New Year's Eve dinner, and watch the Spring Festival Gala, the precocious man felt particularly lonely.
He has never experienced what it feels like to have family members since he was a child. After the Heavenly Descend System, he experienced the taste of family affection.
When he first got the system, Li Jie always put himself in the perspective of a bystander, but later his mind changed.
Every world is a new journey for him. He is not a passerby. The objects being saved are another self. Rather than saving others, it is better to say that he is saving himself.
Therefore, even though he has experienced many worlds, he still cherishes it especially every time he enters a new world.
Mother Han hadn't seen her son come out for a long time, so she couldn't help but walk into the room to take a look, and happened to see her son standing there in a daze.
"Chunming! Chunming? What are you doing so stupidly?"
"Oh, I'll go right away!"
Mother Han's voice pulled Li Jie out of his memories, and he immediately walked towards the door.
The things that will be delivered to Mr. Guan later have been placed on the table in the main room. Several aluminum lunch boxes are placed at the bottom of the woven bag, with peanuts, melon seeds, preserved fruits and other snacks on top.
Of course, Li Jie will not forget Mr. Guan's biggest hobby - wine. Four bottles of Moutai are neatly placed at the top.
The price of a bottle of ten yuan is already the top quality wine at this time, and it is not something you can buy with money, you need to buy it with a ticket. Li Jie bought ten bottles of Maotai in total for the New Year.
In this era of ticket supply, Li Jie put a lot of thought into having a good New Year this time.
In addition to wine, Li Jie also bought a lot of good things, such as White Rabbit toffee for 5 yuan per kilogram.
The White Rabbit in the 1970s was a rarity. If you wanted to buy candy, you had to have a candy ticket. On average, each person only had one catty of candy a month. Even if you had a candy ticket, it didn’t mean you could buy White Rabbit milk.
sugar.
Due to the planning system, the output of white rabbits is not high. Even in the Magic City where it originated, white rabbits are a scarce item, let alone other places.
White Rabbit was still the leading candy brand in China. At that time, there was an advertising slogan: "Seven White Rabbit toffees are equal to a cup of milk."
Due to the lack of supplies, people who want to buy milk powder must get a certificate from a doctor. Only infants and critically ill patients can buy milk powder with the certificate. Not only that, even fresh milk needs to be purchased with a milk stamp. Only those with children at home have quotas.
(I forgot whether it is under five years old or under three years old. Is there any book lover who knows who can give a hint.)
Therefore, many parents who cannot buy milk powder or order milk use White Rabbit as a nutritional supplement. The supply of White Rabbit milk candy on the market is almost in short supply.
In addition to white rabbit, there is another thing that is also recognized as a nutritional supplement - malted milk.
Malted milk, as the name suggests, means malt, which means that the main raw material is barley, which is produced through germination, baking, saccharification and other processes. 'Milk' means that cream, milk powder, condensed milk, etc. are used in the formula, and 'jing' means
It means that when producing malted milk, glucose, maltose, malt extract and other raw materials are also used.
Although malted milk has to be purchased with a ticket, compared with milk powder and fresh milk, it is relatively less difficult to obtain. However, the price of malted milk is very expensive. A barrel of malted milk produced in Modu sells for as much as
More than eight yuan.
The white rabbit and malted milk were all prepared by Li Jie for his nephews and nieces. He knew his brothers and sisters very well and would not be willing to spend the money to buy these things.
Even if I prepared two kilograms of toffee and two barrels of malted milk for each family this time, I guess they would not open it to the children after taking it back. They would give one or two candies at a time and scoop out one or two spoons of malted milk.
Up to the sky.
When Mother Han saw a large bag of things on the table, she sighed silently. This little girl really didn't regard money as money. She respected her elders and bought a few bottles of good wine for her master. She wouldn't say anything, but those nutritional supplements really didn't matter.
Need to buy so much.
But after buying everything, Mother Han couldn't say anything. She made up her mind that before the Chinese New Year next year, she would tell her little five son not to buy so many things randomly.
"Go quickly, your boss and the others will be back soon!"
