As the Spring Festival approaches, Xinglin Village becomes lively. Every household begins to clean the yard, put up window grilles, and put couplets and the word "Fu" on the door.

On New Year's Eve, every household here puts up lantern poles more than three meters high.

There is something special about hanging red lanterns. There is a saying in rural areas of Northeast China that if red lanterns are hung every day from the first to the sixteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the whole year will be prosperous and there will be good omens all year round.

Li Zhongxin followed his uncle and uncle and helped hang lanterns, put up window grilles, and put up couplets. He was very busy.

This can also be regarded as his life experience close to the rural life in the 1980s.

Li Zhongxin thought of the indifference to the flavor of the New Year in later generations, and couldn't help but sigh, how full of flavor the New Year is at this time!

On February 13, 1983, the 1982 Spring Festival Gala came as scheduled. This was the first Spring Festival Gala in China, and it was the best program that people across the country had been waiting for for a long time.

After a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner, the whole family sat in a circle, watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV and making dumplings.

The uncle and the aunt are the main ones. They are responsible for kneading the noodles and rolling out the dumpling wrappers, while the second aunt and the old aunt are responsible for making the dumplings. After the children Li Zhongxin and Wang Changming came back from the firecrackers, they lay on the kangtou and

Grandma and grandpa were watching TV, while Wang Bo, Wang Xi and their second uncle were sitting on stools on the floor, drinking tea and eating melon seeds. The whole family was enjoying themselves.

The hosts of the 1982 Spring Festival Gala were Wang Jingyu, Liu Xiaoqing, Jiang Kun, and Ma Ji. Zhao Zhongxiang delivered the opening speech. Looking at those familiar but vague figures on TV, Li Zhongxin felt particularly excited.

Although the Spring Festival Gala of 1982 was not as classic as the Spring Festival Gala of later generations, the whole family still watched it with gusto.

At this time, Li Zhongxin had the idea of ​​submitting manuscripts to famous cross talk actors and sketch actors in later generations, but the idea flashed in his mind.

After he was reborn, he created a lot of things, and he no longer needed to do that to make money.

Starting from 1983, the Spring Festival Gala will become more and more exciting. If he steps in, the Spring Festival Gala will lose the sense of the times and the rich flavor of the year. It is quite difficult to be an honest audience.

A good choice. As a reborn person, try not to change history. Once the party changes, he will be a sinner.

Whether in the rural areas of Northeast China or in the cities, there is a custom of eating dumplings at twelve o'clock and setting off firecrackers to receive the God of Wealth. The dumplings must be brought to the table and eaten on time when the clock strikes twelve o'clock at the Spring Festival Gala. This is called the God of Wealth Dumplings.

Firecrackers must also be lit on time at twelve o'clock. This is called the magic firecracker.

At nine or ten o'clock, sporadic sounds of firecrackers were heard in the village. When around twelve o'clock, the sound of firecrackers in the village came and went, as if the whole village was immersed in a sea of ​​firecrackers.

After twelve o'clock, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is also the New Year.

The children kowtow to the elderly to pay New Year greetings, and the younger ones pay New Year greetings to the elders, and then receive lucky money (New Year's red envelopes).

For the first time, Li Zhongxin's grandmother and grandfather gave him a gift of five yuan. Except for Wang Bo, the remaining three uncles all gave him a gift of two yuan. Among them, Wang Bo paid dozens of tributes to his grandmother and grandfather after returning home.

Zhang Datong's contribution was also due to Li Zhongxin's first trip from Jiangcheng to Xinglin Village to celebrate the New Year.

If it weren't for this, giving five cents or one dollar would already be a very high New Year's money in rural areas.

Even so, these children's New Year's money will be warmed up in their hands for a short time before their parents find all kinds of excuses to defraud them of the New Year's money.

Li Zhongxin asked Wang Changming and found out that in previous years, the largest amount of lucky money Wang Changming received was one yuan. This was because he was the eldest son and grandson in the family. The other children each received a maximum of five cents.

Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Zhongxin and everyone in his grandma's family got up very early. The first uncle and the other young people were going to visit relatives in the village to pay New Year's greetings.

There are also many people who come to Li Zhongxin's grandma's house to pay New Year's greetings. There are seven aunts and eight aunts, this aunt, that little grandma, etc. Li Zhongxin simply can't recognize them all, and he doesn't want to write them down. As for the pitiful cents or two cents

He even looked down upon the new year's money.

Li Zhongxin didn't like the New Year greetings here, so he ran directly to the West Room to watch his grandfather and a few people playing cards.

A kind of playing card made of slightly thicker paper that is popular in the rural areas of Northeast China during winter leisure. It is also printed with two C, three C, two strips, three strips and other playing cards similar to mahjong. It is called "playing cards", which is similar to mahjong.

Similarly, one hundred and eight cards can be used for entertainment or small gambling. Playing this kind of cards is also called "looking at the cards" or "looking at the small cards".

The body of this kind of small card is one-third narrower than that of a poker, but it is very long. There are spring, summer, autumn, winter, cheat, white flower, red flower and so on. These all correspond to the one hundred and zero characters of Water Margin.

Bajiang, there are also people in other places who call this kind of small tiles Water Margin tiles or mahjong tiles.

Li Zhongxin was not familiar with this way of playing small cards, and it was very different from the mahjong played by later generations.

He is just a child himself, just following his grandfather and watching the fun.

At ten minutes before noon, when people who went out to pay New Year greetings began to come back, Li Zhongxin gave up watching his grandfather play cards and let Wang Bo lead him and his brothers and sisters to set off cannons.

Just when Wang Bo was playing his third kick, Zhao Sanwa, whose neighbor lived in the provincial capital, came to visit with two boxes of malted milk essence and four-in-one gifts to say New Year greetings.

Speaking of the third child of our neighbor Zhao's family, he is the most promising one in the whole village.

His name is Zhao Futian, he is the only college student in Quanxinglin Village, and he is the team leader at the No. 1 Boiler Factory in Harbin City over the provincial capital.

When they were young, Zhao Futian had the best relationship with Wang Bo, and was even adopted as a godson by Li Zhongxin's grandmother. However, when Wang Bo went to Jiangcheng and he went to college in Harbin, the two lost contact. At this time, they met unexpectedly.

When Wang Bo returned home for the New Year, Zhao Futian happily hugged Wang Bo and spun around on the ground twice.

Zhao Futian is the family on the left side of my grandma's house. Because the main labor force, Zhao Fushun, got married and separated, and Zhao Futian went to university in the provincial capital. Wang Zhi and Wang Xi helped with many things at home, so Zhao Futian

After visiting relatives on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, I immediately went to my grandma’s house to pay New Year greetings.

"Wang Bo, you seem to be doing well lately!" Zhao Futian lightly punched Wang Bo on the shoulder and continued: "Are you still hanging around in Jiangcheng now? If you haven't gotten married, how can you get there?

Come to me here in Harbin, the provincial capital, and I'll help you get it into our factory. After you become an apprentice, you can earn forty yuan a month. What do you think?"

Wang Bo looked at Zhao Futian in astonishment. It took him half a minute to recover. He smiled without answering and pulled Zhao Futian into the house, asking Zhao Futian to pay New Year's greetings to his parents.

Wang Bo heard about it when he went out to pay New Year's greetings in the morning. Zhao Futian arrived at home near midnight on New Year's Eve. He probably hadn't heard anything about him at this time. He couldn't say that his current salary is higher than yours, and he earns more than you.

Much more, I appreciate your kindness.

Wang Bo still valued Zhao Futian as a friend. Even if Zhao Futian didn't ask him to work in the provincial capital, he would still tell him that he wanted to ask Zhao Futian to help Zhongxin Company.

Zhongxin Company now has a large business and is in urgent need of a group of reliable talents to support it. College students like Zhao Futian who understand management are the main targets that Zhongxin Company wants to recruit.

When Li Zhongxin's grandma saw Zhao Futian carrying a bunch of things into the house to say New Year's greetings, she immediately greeted him with a smile and said happily: "Sanwa, you can just come, what are you doing buying so many things?"

Take it back to your mother to drink, otherwise she will not be happy."

Li Zhongxin saw that his grandma took out the two bottles of malted milk from Zhao Futian's hand and asked Zhao Futian to take them back. The others were put on the cabinet at home without ceremony.

Zhao Futian frowned and said with an exaggerated expression: "Godmother, what are you talking about? This is a good thing I bought for you in the provincial capital. This is called malted milk. It is good for the elderly to drink this.

You and your godfather can drink some of this good stuff."

Li Zhongxin's grandmother showed a hint of displeasure on her face and said angrily: "You kid, if I ask you to take it back, just take it back. Godmother has a lot of these things here!"

After Li Zhongxin's grandma finished speaking, she pointed at the items on the big box, and what was revealed were eight large, hard-covered bottles of malted milk.

The so-called wheat in "malted milk" refers to the malt essence in the raw materials of malted milk. It uses dissociated barley as the main raw material, and the amount used in its production is about 6 times greater than the proportion of maltose production. When producing malt essence,

This kind of barley is germinated, roasted, saccharified and other processes. Therefore, the malted milk produced with malt extract has a refreshing aroma of malt, which is unmatched by some food flavors. The so-called milk is the formula of malted milk.

The cream, milk powder, condensed milk and other raw materials used in it are processed and refined from fresh milk. They are the essence of milk and the main nutritional component of malted milk. The so-called essence refers to the glucose used in the production of malted milk.

Raw materials such as maltose and malt extract have a certain content of dextrin. Dextrin is an intermediate product between starch and saccharification. After vacuum baking during the manufacturing process, bursts of tangy but difficult-to-disperse aroma are produced.

Sweet smell.

As the name suggests, malted milk uses ingredients containing malted milk raw materials, and its "famous name" is worthy of its name and of course.

Malted milk powder is rich in nutrients, has loose particles, good solubility, and is easy to drink. It can be used as a hot drink or as a cold drink. It is a beverage and food suitable for the family in all seasons. It has a rich aroma when drinking and can be fully absorbed after eating. This unique feature

The advantage is that some drinks are beyond reach and are most suitable for the elderly.

Li Zhongxin has done some research on this kind of thing. After all, it was the most popular item in the 1980s.

But! After researching it, he was not optimistic about this thing. He thought that there was not much value in making this thing.

Because he knew in his heart that this kind of thing was popular for a while in the 1980s, but after the 1990s, basically no one drank it.

If you invest in building a factory to make malted milk, you will need to invest a lot of money. Whether it can be sold after production is a big question.

Not to mention that this was a planned economy and he couldn't get raw materials, so he gave up the idea of ​​making malted milk.

But! In the early 1980s, this was the only thing that was given to the elderly to drink. Therefore, when Li Zhongxin came to his grandma's house, he bought a lot of them for his grandma and grandpa.

Wang Bo was a little dazed when he saw Zhao Futian holding the malted milk in his hand. He immediately patted Zhao Futian and said, "Don't be dazed. My family really doesn't lack this stuff now. I'll give you these two bottles of malted milk."

Mom, take it back! I really want to talk to you about something later."

"What? You want me to work for you in Jiangcheng?" Zhao Futian stood up immediately when he heard Wang Bo say that he wanted to ask him to give up his job as a team leader at the boiler factory in the provincial capital and go to work for him in Jiangcheng.

, and quickly touched Wang Bo’s forehead.

Zhao Futian said with surprise on his face: "Wang Bo, you don't even have a fever! Why are you talking nonsense? Do you know what the provincial capital boiler factory is? Do you know how much money I can earn as a team leader there in a month?
