"Three dog days" is a collective term for the beginning, middle and end of the year, and it is the hottest time of the year. Its climate is characterized by high temperature, low air pressure, high humidity and low wind speed.

In the middle of July, the capital will usher in the "first sunset", and from the beginning of the month, it will naturally get hotter and hotter every day.

When the day is clear, the heat wave is rolling, and the seasonal birds (local language, knowing) are calling desperately.

It is also hot when a person's foot in shoes is on the road. In the strong sunlight, my eyes still felt stinging when they narrowed into a slit.

If you go out in this kind of weather, it's a sin, and it's too hot to hide in the house and play a fan.

It's a pity that food, clothing, housing and pedestrians are indispensable, no matter how hot the day is, when it comes to commuting time, the bus is still crowded. The main road is also full of people pedaling bicycles.

Therefore, the "cleaning team" in each urban area has become the "cutest people" nowadays.

If it weren't for those "street sweepers", they braved the scorching heat to splash water on the road and worked overtime to remove the garbage from the garbage station in time. The people of the capital will have to be smoked to death if they are not killed by heat.

It can be said that during the day in the capital, people rely on them to live, and it is really such a great merit.

Finally, in the evening, it was not very comfortable. It takes at least ninety o'clock to get cooler.

Before that, even if people used basins, they took basins of water from the water pipes and splashed them in their houses. can be steamed by steam, and it won't stay for a long time, and it will still be hot and sweaty.

The man and the child are better, and they can still go out shirtless to enjoy the cool and wander the streets.

The older ones are lying on the bamboo chairs to recuperate and recuperate. Or play chess and cards on the street lamp. The younger ones either listen to the stories of the adults, or go around the adults to borrow the dark to "hide the stuffy children". After all, there is something to distract yourself from and have fun on your own.

But the women really suffered. Not only is it tightly wrapped when you go out, but looking at a bunch of men shirtless, your eyes are really useless.

If you hold back the fan with your home, you can wear less. But you also have to guard against who is cold and who has a problem, and you have to go down the door.

Therefore, a gown must always be placed in front of the eye, so as not to be embarrassed by the sudden arrival. But with this mental tension, it is not very comfortable.

In this way, it really shows the benefits of having electrical indicators in hand.

Frankly speaking, don't look at "Sugar Heart" and "Thorn Plum" until now, they haven't earned much cash, and most of the profits are kneaded in the goods. And because of Hong Yanwu's warning, they can't buy a TV and go home for fun.

But both of them have the same right to enjoy the coolness of modernization.

The two sisters followed Hong Yanwu's example and had already set up refrigerators and electric fans.

After the sun goes down, I go inside and lie down, completely cut off from the messy world outside. Listen to Teresa Teng's beautiful voice, blowing a gentle breeze that can be obtained without hand cranking. Another popsicle and a bottle of chilled soda, that taste is not too comfortable.

Compared with others, it is humble to say that there is less sin, and it is absolutely the highest enjoyment, and it is like living in heaven.

Of course, the Hong family's feelings are similar.

Hong Jun treats the refrigerator as an inexhaustible treasure trove, and the popsicles and soda in it are his favorites. Occasionally, she can steal one or two "bells" for the Ding family, and exchange them for the "Ding old man's fried goods" in her pocket.

If it weren't for Hong Yanwu's fear that this kid would be greedy and eat bad stomachs, he instructed Hong Yanru to strictly control the number of times Hong Jun could take it. Hong Jun can worship this third uncle as a god and Buddha for all living beings.

And the rest of the family feels the benefits even more.

First of all, Hong Yanru has fewer times to run non-staple food stores for her family, and she has fewer queues, which saves her a lot of suffering from scorching sun exposure. In addition, if anyone comes back late, the meal will not be ruined.

The most important thing is that mung bean soup and watermelon are taken to the refrigerator, which is refreshing to eat and drink in this weather. It's a heat dissipation and a fire, and the noise of the family has dropped a little.

It's not like the other three in the courtyard at all, worried that the tap water is not cold, and complains that the watermelon and mung bean soup from the town are lukewarm.

Not to mention like them, grumpy because of the weather. If you flirt with a little Mars, you will have to stumble within the family, and there will be no harmony.

Boss Hong Yanzheng has nothing to say now.

Now he comes home the hottest every day after physical work, and he can't do without this "high-end cupboard" more than anyone else. It's just because of his self-esteem that he can't consciously admit it.

Therefore, when Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were present, he would never drink mung bean soup and eat watermelon with everyone. Even if his son forced him to send it to his mouth, he resolutely refused.

Stand in the wind and freeze to death, starve to death and don't bend over. It's called wind bones.

To be honest, in fact, it is not only these people who have benefited from the electrical indicators.

Don't forget, if there is a good thing, Hong Yanwu will definitely not forget his cousin Shou Jingfang.

He used it very well at home, and within a few days, he and Chen Liquan got these two things for the tea alley.

Shou Jingfang is such a free and easy person, Hong Yanwu does not hide the origin of things from him.

Sure enough, Shou Jingfang said that as long as it wasn't stolen and robbed, it would be fine. I stayed without even saying a polite word. This time, the Shou family also has a cool summer heat.

But the "miracle doctor" is not in vain. Then a thousand yuan was slapped on the table.

To put it bluntly, this master is a bit unworldly, and he has a big hand. neither asked the price nor refused, but let Hong Yanwu earn a few of him.

In addition to this, there are also two jars of sour plum juice as a gift.

Shou Jingfang said that Hong Yanwu's father liked to drink the sour plum soup he made the most, and this year it was also a coincidence, the "People's Pharmacy" bought a batch of high-quality Cantonese black plums, and he bought a lot of Hangzhou osmanthus and "roll ice" (that is, polycrystalline sugar) from the Dongdan vegetable market. It is also known as old rock sugar, earth rock sugar, block rock sugar, etc. It is an irregular crystalline rock sugar produced by traditional technology. It has certain medicinal effects of moistening the lungs, relieving cough, clearing phlegm, and removing fire. I just made a few jars, and I waited for Hong Yanwu to bring it home.

As soon as he heard that he was so exquisite, Hong Yanwu knew that it was a good thing. Even said thank you and took it home.

Not to mention, things go back and put them in the refrigerator for a town. In the evening, when everyone got together, they took out a jar and opened the lid, and they felt extraordinary.

Smelling the strange fragrance of osmanthus is very strong, and it will fill the hall in an instant, which is lovely.

Pour out a bowl, the color is also different from usual, black and red transparent, thick like ink.

Hong Lucheng introduced it to everyone at this time. He said that Shou Jingfang's sour plum soup is actually better than that of the time-honored brand "Xinyuan Zhai" in Beijing.

Because both are palace secrets. But after all, "Xinyuanzhai" is for profit, mass production and sales to the public.

Their cousin is different, he is a family of imperial doctors, and he likes to enjoy it, and he has to be more refined in cutting.

He not only prepares herbs to dispel heat according to the season, but also blends flavors according to changes in weather and temperature.

The weather is cool and fashionably sweet, and the weather is hot and sour. When making it, it is not tormented, but slowly soaked in boiling water, which is really called "Qing Palace Treasure Imperial Plum Soup......

Unexpectedly, when Hong Lucheng said this, Hong Jun was already hungry.

And the kid picked up the bowl in a hurry, tasted it, and almost lost his teeth. Then he bared his teeth and grinned, and even said that this "strange treasure" was too bad to drink.

Everyone was amazed. Unexpectedly, Wang Yunlin smiled, and quickly poured boiled water for her grandson to drink. A complaint in his mouth directly reveals the truth.

"You little thing, why are you so anxious? That's the sour plum marinade made by your grandfather, and you have to mix it with water before you can drink it." ”

It dawned on everyone.

Following Hong Yanwu's instructions, he went to the refrigerator to get a large teapot of cold water that had been put in earlier.

As soon as the water in the pot is mixed with this sour plum brine, it magically turns into a golden and crystalline color.

At this time, if you taste it again, what popsicles, sodas, watermelon, and mung bean soup will all stand aside. That's called a fragrant fragrance, and that's called a refreshing mouth.

After a while, this pot of sour plum soup was shared by everyone. But that's not enough.

Hong Jun protested directly, saying that he should vacate all the things that hold water at home, brew all the sour plum soup in the jar, and put it in the refrigerator.

This stupid remark caused the adults to be amused again, and everyone laughed at him for being greedy.

But jokes are jokes, but they also show how good this thing is. So that night, Hong Yanwu found the empty bottles of two canned fruits, washed them and filled them with sour plum marinade.

No need to ask, of course it's for that person.

In addition to the relatives of the Shou family, another indirect beneficiary is the neighbors of the Hong family.

Didn't Hong Yanwu see that his sister-in-law had a big belly, not to mention that the elderly and children in the family needed nutrition.

Another one, he saw that the child raised by the Shui family couldn't get milk, so he fed it with dried cakes and rice dumplings every day, and was so hungry that he always cried at night. It's also a little unbearable.

He is willing to buy milk powder for others, but who wants to accept the gift plainly? Not to mention that it is easy to provoke gossip behind his back.

In this way, he pondered, sooner or later, he had to order milk, so it was better to find a way to try it now.

Although in 1978, the dairy industry in the capital was restored and developed. Milk production reached 5,419 kilograms, and the number of milk subscribers reached 249,000. There has also been an increase in the availability of yogurt and dairy products in the market. On all fronts, it has surpassed the pre-movement of 1965. However, the problem of "difficulty in breastfeeding" is still prominent.

At that time, the price of milk was not expensive, the price of a bottle of milk was two cents and four cents, if there was a girl at home, it was enough to order a bottle. However, with the exception of nurseries and hospitals, the rules for individual users are strict.

Only the elderly, young and sick, have the right to order milk. Ordering milk for a child requires a baby's birth certificate, which is limited to 12 months. Patients must have a certificate from a hospital at or above the district level, and the time limit is 6 months. The elderly over the age of 70 must take the household registration book, and those under the age of 70 will not provide it.

It should be said that ordering milk, which seems easy now, was a big problem that caused people a headache back then. If the qualifications are not enough, no matter how rich you are, they will not order it for you.

As a result, it was precisely because Hong Yanwu had indicators in his hand that the matter was resolved very smoothly.

After daring Hong Yanwu found out the address of the person in charge of the nearby milk station, he bought some things in private and visited once.

I didn't expect to just enter the door of this house, and I haven't said a few words. The master's son was wronged because he went to someone else's house to watch TV, and he came back to cry with his father, splashing and rolling all over the ground, and he had to buy one for himself.

Isn't this God's help? It is precisely because of this habitual instigation of children that the problem is not a problem.
