Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 139 Reliable
When Xu Huizhen heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Xu Deyong.

The director's wife thought she was hesitating, so she added: "The neighborhood committee will hold a public-private partnership mobilization meeting tomorrow afternoon. You should think about it carefully."

Xu Huizhen smiled and nodded: "Sure, I will make a serious calculation."

After chatting for a few more words, the director's wife left.

Xu Deyong speeded up and rushed to the tavern. After all, Xiao Li'er was at home alone.

Xu Huizhen thought for a while and said: "Deyong, I really let you say it. It seems that this public-private partnership is a must."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "You have to consider this carefully. You can do it with confidence!"

"What are you talking about? Why are you praising me?" Xu Huizhen lowered her eyebrows and raised the corners of her mouth. She pondered for a moment with a flash of determination in her eyes and said: "There will be a public-private partnership mobilization meeting tomorrow afternoon. If no one responds at the meeting, I will be the first." How was the response?"

Xu Deyong raised an arm, gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Hey, then you are this, a woman who is not inferior to men, the first lady of Qianmen Street."

Xu Huizhen couldn't help but raise her hand and lightly hit him on the lower back, and said coquettishly: "Fuck you, what are you talking about? I'm just a little woman."

Xu Deyong smiled and said nothing, little woman?No matter how small it is, it's neither too big nor too small in front and back, just right.

Moreover, if Xu Huizhen really responded on the spot, Fan Jinyou would not have the chance to claim credit, and he would not necessarily become the public manager of the tavern.

It's just right, anyway, this guy is more likely to fail than succeed!
……

When the two returned to the tavern, Xu Huizhen immediately got out of the car and opened the door. As a mother, she was naturally anxious.

Xu Deyong said: "Sister Huizhen, you are busy, so I will leave first."

Xu Huizhen turned around and said, "What's the hurry? Come in and sit down for a while and drink some tea. By the way, you can grab a few pickles and take them home to eat."

"Sure, then I'll get a few bucks." Xu Deyong nodded without politeness.

This time both parties are single!

After Xu Huizhen entered the house, she went to the bedroom to see the child. After a while, she came out with little Li'er in her arms and said with a smile: "My Li'er is so good. When she wakes up, she doesn't cry or make trouble and just eats her own hands."

Xu Deyong looked at Xiao Li'er who was grinning in Xu Huizhen's arms and said, "It's been three months now. I need to feed him some complementary foods."

Xu Huizhen nodded and said, "Well, it's hard to get a milk certificate. I'm planning to go to the department store to buy some milk replacer powder."

At this time, the Beijing Milk Station had just been established (the predecessor of Sanyuan), and the supply of milk was tight.

If the milk certificate is not of a certain level, or if there are no babies at home or the elderly are sick, they cannot drink milk at all. The procedures for applying for a milk certificate are very cumbersome. You need to go to the hospital to issue a certificate and your employer must approve it.

Ultimately, it's up to the milk company to decide whether you can order milk.Even if all the procedures are completed, there is only half a pound of milk (equivalent to one bag today) per day.

Milk is in short supply, so we have to use three types of milk coupons: red, blue and white. Infant milk users are given red coupons. With the birth certificate of the newborn, babies under two years old are one and a half pounds per day, and those over two years old are one pound per day; for serious illness, People are issued a blue ticket, which is provided with a hospital diagnosis certificate, and half a pound of milk is supplied daily; elderly milk ordering households are issued a white ticket. Although they are "ordering milk", it may not be available every day. The decision whether to supply milk must be based on the milk production situation at that time. Generally, it is only available for 1 days per month.

As for milk powder, not many people can drink it.

It wasn't until 35 that the state invested 3 yuan in Beijing to introduce three dairy production lines to produce milk powder. With milk powder, the milk supply improved.

Of course, this is already the best condition. After all, people in many places have not drunk milk since the 90s.

As for the development of milk replacer powder, it is also lagging behind.

It was only in 5410 that the first milk substitute powder "[-] Infant Formula Powder" was released in China (soybean flour, egg yolk powder, rice flour, sucrose, soybean oil, nuclear millet, bone meal, salt).

In [-], Shanghai Yimin Factory No. [-] was put into production of "Guangming" milk replacer powder.

Eight cents in a bag and one piece in a bottle.

At this time, they were all luxuries, and those without certain conditions were reluctant to buy them. The children were fed rice soup, batter, and the like.

Before liberation, most milk and milk replacer powder were imported from foreign countries. After all, there were no domestic cows that produced large amounts of milk.

Xu Deyong thought for a while and said: "I will bring you a can of milk powder tomorrow, and you can buy some milk replacer powder and mix it with it. It should be enough for a while."

Xu Huizhen suddenly looked surprised and said: "You can actually get milk powder? Where did you get it?"

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "Don't ask. Don't worry, there won't be any problems. Just don't tell anyone. Otherwise, I won't be able to get more if others want me."

Xu Huizhen looked at Xu Deyong for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, thank you. It's definitely not easy for you to do. I'll give you the price."

Xu Deyong said: "I'll bring it to you tomorrow morning."

He drank a cup of tea, packed six or seven pickles and left.

Xu Huizhen closed the door and returned to the room to sit down. She took out the divorce certificate from her bag and looked at it, then folded it and put it in the drawer.She sat beside the crib, teasing Xiao Li'er, and said to herself: "What kind of person is he?"

……

Xu Deyong rode a tricycle to a small courtyard in a remote alley and knocked on the door.

Soon the door opened. When Hou Si saw Xu Deyong, he said respectfully: "Master Yong, you are here."

"Yes." Xu Deyong nodded and went in: "You haven't brought anything over in the past two days, right?"

Hou Sili grinned and said: "No, the clocks, furniture and other things you repaired before are all here. I haven't found a suitable buyer yet, and I have no money. Mr. Gang is making some money by selling vegetables in the suburbs these days. It’s a small amount of money.”

Xu Deyong said: "Then I won't be here for the next few days. If you have something to do, come early or late and wait for me near the courtyard. I'll give you two pieces of pickles to try as a side dish with wine."

Hou Si quickly took over and said, "Master Xie Yong."

Xu Deyong didn't stay long, and said before leaving: "Let Gangzi take it easy. Don't overprice the dishes. Be careful of being reported. Also, if you come across a good old door opening, pay attention if the price is right."

"Okay, I will definitely tell Master Gang." Hou Si said with a smile.

Xu Deyong went out and got on his car and left. This place was a small base where he and Gangzi cooperated. When Gangzi brought things, he was responsible for repairing them, and he didn't care about other things.

Since the Lantern Festival, the two of them met and tried to work on it. After a small fuss, they would make money after repairing it and selling it, but this thing needs a cycle.

Xu Deyong didn't make much money, but he did have a few small items in his hand, including porcelain, bronze, miscellaneous jade, and tooth horns.

He didn't know much about antiques and didn't know how much they would be worth in the future. Anyway, they were all old items and the prices were not expensive. Gangzi brought them to him and asked him if he wanted them, so he picked up a few that he liked.

……

The setting sun melts gold, and the evening clouds merge.

Xu Deyong returned to the courtyard.

Yan Bugui was arranging his fishing rods and lines at the door. The weather was getting warmer, and he was thinking about catching some fish to improve the family's food when he had time. If he was lucky, he could sell more fish for a profit.

If you don’t earn a penny, no one will give it to you!

Xu Deyong's heart moved. He still had a set of bamboo fishing rods that he bought before in his space. He hadn't used them yet. He wanted to go to the river one day and try them out.

"Third uncle, we are going fishing." Xu Deyong said hello.

Yan Bugui raised his head, rolled his eyes and said, "Deyong is back. Yes, I am planning to go fishing on the weekend. Do you want to come together? If not, I will teach you."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Thank you, Third Master. You can go ahead. I'll get a fishing rod later."

Yanbu Gui said: "You don't have so many bamboos? Just find one, find a thread and tie it with a fishhook, and you can fish."

Don't think that Yan Bugui is kind-hearted. This guy asked Xu Deyong to go with him because he wanted to ride on Xu Deyong's carriage, save trouble and go fishing further away.

Xu Deyong said: "No, we will talk about it later. Third uncle, you are busy."

As he spoke, he turned to leave.

"Hey." Yan Bugui suddenly said again: "Deyong, Dongxu treated you tonight to express his gratitude. Have I told you?"

Xu Deyong said: "I told you, so I came back early today."

Yan Bugui said with a smile: "Then let's have two more drinks later."

"Okay, I'll accompany you when the time comes to talk." Xu Deyong responded.

"See you then."

"See you soon."

Xu Deyong entered the middle courtyard and saw Qin Huairu in Jia's family busying herself. Jia Zhang looked at Banggeng and did not help.

Should I say it or not, Sister-in-law Qin is really capable at this time!
And she has fulfilled her responsibilities as a daughter-in-law from beginning to end!
