As a native of Chaoyang after the 70s, when he was a child, he grew up in the countryside, when his life was very poor, if he could eat a few cents of popsicles and drink a bottle of soda for a few cents every day, he would already be very happy and feel very happy. At that time, a factory in our commune (now called the town government) also produced a drink called malt beer, pure wheat brewing, which was a cold drink with both beer taste and Coke flavor, and guests from home, if there were those who did not drink, parents would let their children buy a few bottles.
The bottle of malt beer looks like beer, but the price is cheaper than beer. As soon as the cap of the malt beer is opened, the boiling and tumbling foam will gush out, overflowing all over the bottle and the table, because the carbon dioxide inside is full, and it is often seen that someone rides with a malt beer, and suddenly the bottle is fried, which frightens everyone.
In the hot summer, relatives and friends sat at the table, drinking cold malt beer (there was no refrigerator at that time, with blisters pressed from the well or placed in the vegetable cellar), talking about the past and the present, the parents were short, really comfortable, but now even the photos of malt beer can not be found, can only remain in the memory.
Although life was very poor at that time, everyone's life was almost the same, but the sky was blue, the water was clear, the food was safe, the people were kind, no matter how hurried the time was, no matter where I was, I would always miss that small mountain village, miss the people in that small mountain village.
