The next day.
Liu Xiaojun got up early for the first time in his life. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Huizhen preparing to boil eggs.
"Mom, wait a minute, don't take the eggs."
Liu Xiaojun almost vomited from eating eggs these days, and then he remembered that there were two cans of Red Star milk powder in the space.
He found an angle where Liu Huizhen couldn't see him and took out the milk powder.
"Mom, look at this."
Liu Huizhen's eyes widened immediately when she saw it:
"T-this is... creamer?"
After all, she is now working in the street, her knowledge is growing rapidly, and she also knows what Liu Xiaojun is holding in his hand.
"Isn't this stuff expensive? Why don't you drink it with Tangtang and the others? Mom won't drink it."
Only a few colleagues from well-off families in the street can afford this milk powder, while other colleagues from ordinary families may not even be able to afford it!
"That's okay, Mom, please get a thermos and bring the enamel pot as well."
"Okay." Liu Huizhen went to get it without saying a word.
Soon, the kettle and enamel pot were all brought to the black dining table.
Liu Xiaojun also placed the milk powder on the table and opened the can. Knowing that his mother was reluctant to give it away, he scooped two spoonfuls of milk powder into the enamel jar.
"Oh, hey, hey, isn't this too much?" Liu Huizhen looked at the enamel pot with heartache and wanted to pour some back into the milk powder can on the spot.
"Not much, otherwise it will have no taste." Liu Xiaojun immediately closed the jar to prevent his mother from regretting it.
After scooping two spoonfuls of milk powder, I added two spoonfuls of white sugar and poured it in with boiling water. It opened directly.
It has to be pure milk powder from this era! If it's like the milk powder from later generations, not to mention using boiling water, even warm water will make it into clumps and it won't dissolve at all!
The moment the milk powder was dissolved, a strong aroma of milk spread in the air.
This attracted the two little greedy cats outside the door.
"Brother, brother, what smells so good?" Tangtang ran to the table and stayed around it.
Yu Shui was also looking at the enamel cup, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Mom, try it first."
Liu Xiaojun said.
"Why don't you give it to Tangtang first?" Liu Huizhen felt embarrassed. Aren't mothers supposed to feed their children first? It would be embarrassing for her to taste it first.
"No, let mom try it first." Tangtang said even though she was drooling with greed.
"Okay, then mom will try it first." Liu Huizhen touched the little girl's head.
After taking a small sip, Liu Huizhen swore that she had never tasted anything so delicious in her life!
"It tastes good, right? From now on, we can all drink a glass of milk powder every morning."
"How much does this milk powder cost?" Liu Huizhen asked.
"It's not expensive, five dollars a can."
Originally, this Red Star milk powder was sold for two to three yuan in the supply and marketing cooperative, but this milk powder required a ticket. These days, milk powder is specially supplied to certain groups of people. Ordinary people simply cannot get a ticket, and even the black market may not have such a ticket.
Liu Xiaojun bought this milk powder on the black market.
"Five dollars!" Liu Huizhen was still drinking when she choked.
"This, this is too expensive! It's almost half a month's salary for Mom. I won't drink it. You and your sister can drink it!"
Liu Huizhen would never drink it even if she was beaten to death. It was too expensive. What was the difference between it and just drinking money?
Liu Xiaojun knew that her mother would be like this, but there was nothing she could do. People who are afraid of poverty are like this, and this has to change slowly.
As long as his barbecue restaurant is open and the family income increases, his mother will probably not be so restrained anymore because she will have the confidence to spend money.
Liu Xiaojun poured half a cup for Yushui and Tangtang respectively, but there were not enough enamel pots at home, so he had to use rice bowls instead.
Liu Huizhen drank half a cup herself and ordered Tangtang:
"Tangtang, you can only drink half a cup at most, okay?"
The little girl nodded obediently: "I know, Mom, you can go to the street now."
As soon as Liu Huizhen left, Tangtang stopped pretending and hugged Liu Xiaojun's thigh directly:
"Brother, brother, I want to drink more."
"Children are not allowed to drink too much, they can only drink half a cup." Liu Xiaojun did not indulge his sister.
"Okay."
It was the first time that Yu Shui drank something as precious as milk powder. He was savoring it slowly. Seeing that Tang Tang had finished hers, he handed her the one in his bowl.
"Tangtang, drink Sister Yushui's bowl."
"Okay..." Tangtang's eyes lit up. Liu Xiaojun gave her a look and Tangtang immediately became obedient: "No, Sister Yushui, you drink it yourself. Tangtang doesn't want to drink it."
Yu Shui looked at Liu Xiaojun again, not quite understanding why he did this, but still drank his own drink.
Liu Xiaojun thinks that children should not be spoiled too much, as it would be bad if they develop bad habits.
After the two girls finished drinking the milk, Yu Shui took Tang Tang out to pick up hay. There were so many rabbits at home, and if they didn't pick up hay or cut grass, there would not be enough for them to eat.
Liu Xiaojun lay on the bed and began to draw the design. The shop had already been bought, and once the design was finished, he would have to find a decoration team to start the installation.
However, his decoration design is quite complicated, and ordinary decoration workers may not be able to take on this job, so we have to find a famous decoration master.
As for the decoration master, Liu Xiaojun already had a candidate in mind, but he didn't have the contact information, so he had to ask Master Wang to help introduce him. Anyway, Master Wang had to come over in the afternoon to give the sick hand acupuncture, so he could just mention it then.
After lying in bed drawing blueprints for a whole morning, Liu Xiaojun sat up, stretched first, and then looked at the blueprint in his hand. It was pretty good, and he had drawn a rough outline, but there were still a few details that needed to be added.
