Chapter 316 Dog Food
March [-]th is the first birthday of Xu Damao's 'brother'.I don't know if the Xu Family Office has a first-year banquet, but there is no movement in Nanluo Hutong.Except for Du Shouyi, no one would have thought of this 'twin brother' anymore.As for the 'brother' who 'died' in the incubator, not many people even knew about it, so they just fooled it.
It turned out that there was Bai Jingqi's [-]-day banquet this month.Since the cancellation of the full moon wine last time, Bai San'er has been planning to give her son a good one hundred days, but it seems that it will be cancelled.
Tuesday morning, March [-]th.When inspecting the route, Bai San said, "I'm not going to have a hundred-day wine at the end of this month. Xiaobei and Sixi are going to train, and Xiong Ming and his wife don't want to show up too often. It's boring."
The militiamen are going to Daxing again this Friday.There are many training subjects this time, and the time is quite long, and I won't be able to come back until the end of the month, and Hundred Days Wine really can't keep up.But Du Shouyi knew that part of the reason was that Bai San didn't want to drink, and he didn't want to break his precept because of it.
He thought for a while and said, "If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. You and your husband can agree. By the way, is that washing machine still working?"
Speaking of this, Bai San was happy, "It's easy to use, how much trouble does it save? My mother-in-law just praised me."
"Don't be complacent, this thing is not very durable, if it breaks, you can return it to me, and I will replace it for you."
"understand."
Bai Jingqi is a misfortune, she makes a lot of dirty diapers and wet sheets every day.
Du Shouyi lent the idle Sanyo to Bai San.Bai San's father-in-law lives in a private house, so this thing is safe to use.
As for the bad, there is nothing wrong with the motor and the main body, but in this era, the material science is not good enough, and the plastic parts such as hoses and water pipes connected to it will only have a lifespan of one or two years at most.If it can be replaced in RB, where can I find spare parts in Kyoto?So this is also a 'disposable' product, there is no way to repair it if it breaks, you can only 'throw it'.
Electric washing machines are not seen in this era, only a few can be found in foreign-related restaurants such as the Yanjing Hotel, and they are all left before liberation. They are used for business, and it is not a matter of whether they can be used now.
At the end of the 70s and the beginning of the 80s, a luxury product, the 'hand washing machine', appeared in Beijing, Shanghai and other places.The shape is like a liquefied gas tank on an iron shelf, and the clothes inside can be tumbled and washed by shaking the handle.It's not cheap, more than 30 yuan per set plus an industrial ticket.
This thing is flashy, and it disappeared after being popular for a short period of time. Even the "old people" after the '[-]s and [-]s may not have seen it.
Shaking and shaking, it's time to sign in in the morning.
"Ding, the host's sign-in reward today is, 'Nutro' dog food x1000."
Du Shouyi was slightly disappointed to see this sign in.This shows that although Xiao Hei is clever, he is not at the level of 'sensitivity', he is just an ordinary puppy.
Xiaohei was Lou Xiaoe's puppy, and he had always been close to Du Shouyi.After Lou Xiao'e leaves, the dog will be given to Du Shouyi to raise.
Another dog of Lou Dong's family, they will handle it by themselves.The oriole that was given to Xiong Ming back then was released by him, and when Wang Guihua moved here, he would bring his puppy with him. It is also Li Liangui's favorite pet and cannot be handled casually.But in this way, there will be two more dogs in the courtyard.
Du Shouyi used to secretly laugh at Zhou Xiaotian, Boss Zhou, that raising two dogs and one cat was not low-key enough.But now it's his turn, two dogs, two cats and three birds, more than Boss Zhou.This is really life is impermanent, the large intestine wraps the small intestine.
Raising a dog will be a little troublesome, but judging from the dog food sign in today, it won’t be too much trouble.The system gave both dogs their rations early, which meant they were 'prepared'.
I remember that I talked about cat food during the Spring Festival of [-], but now we simply talk about it.
After the First World War, the three giant slaughterhouses in the Lighthouse Country launched canned dog food almost at the same time.
Why is the slaughter giant doing this?Because they have a lot of water in their hands.It turns out that these waste water can only be used for oil refining, and the efficiency and profit are extremely low.The nature of capitalists made them set their sights on the pet food market.
Once the canned pet food was launched, it was widely welcomed by cat and dog owners, and quickly grew into a huge industry.
But the good times didn’t last long. During World War II, most of the tin resources were in the hands of RB people. Tin-plated tinplate for making cans became a scarce military supply, and the pet cans on the market suddenly disappeared.
What if a huge industry suddenly loses its supply?So from the early 40s, dried bagged pet food became a mainstream product.Although they are made into small biscuits or pellets, the raw material at this time is animal offal.
In [-], high-temperature puffed food technology was developed, and in [-] this technology was applied to the production of pet food.This is again capitalist thinking, because grain is cheaper than water.
In the 60s, pet cans, dry food, cats and dogs are all common, but the packaging is changed, and the contents are exactly the same.Just like the 'Nutro' signed by Du Shouyi, except for the different cat and dog portraits on the bag, everything inside is common.
Canned food was replaced by dry food, and water was replaced by grain.It doesn't matter to the dog, but the harm to the cats is too great.
Cat lovers can go to the cat food ingredient list, there must be an additive called 'taurine'.
This substance is very important for pets. If it is missing, it will lead to death, stillbirth, blindness and a series of problems.Dogs can synthesize taurine in the body, but cats can't, they can only get it from food.
No problem at all in the days of canning, because animal offal contains taurine.But taurine will lose a lot with water, so this problem appeared in the dry food era, but it was not obvious.Because nine times out of ten, there is always [-]% taurine left in cat food, right?
But in the era of grain cat food, pet cats completely lost the source of taurine.
After taking grain cat food as the staple food, more and more cats have suffered sudden death, blindness, and neutering.
This phenomenon was discovered in the early 60s, but the cause was not clarified until the 80s, and was completely resolved in the early 90s.Pet cats have spent the 'darkest' 30 years.
Du Shouyi already knew this 'secret'. He participated in a science interest group when he was in elementary school?So from time to time, he would feed Xiaoguai and Xiaolu some milk sushi or something to replenish the taurine in their bodies.From this point of view, Xiaoguai and Xiaolu are ten thousand times luckier than the cats in the Lighthouse Country.
The system distributed dog food two months in advance, but Du Shouyi just had an idea and immediately gave up the idea of asking Xiong Ming.If anything changes here, Mr. Lou, let it change. If you care about it, it will lead to chaos.
Back in the small feeding room, Sixi had already made tea and was waiting.Du Shouyi took the tea mug and put it aside, "Drink it slowly, I've already soaked up water at Boss Cha's place."
He and Bai San went to the boiler room from time to time for the past two days, stood on the platform for Cha Liangxing, and also made friends with his team leader.There is nothing else in the boiler room, and there are enough hot water pipes.
After hearing this, Bai San laughed and said, "Don't talk about it, just check that Boss is working hard, and his serious temper is really suitable for a boiler room."
"My brother likes it there himself. My mother said that he just went to work for two days, and his whole spirit is different."
Du Shouyi packed up his things and listened cheerfully to the two of them chatting, thinking about the different spirit in Boss Cha.Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind.
"Sixi, what did you just say?"
"Ah?!" Zha Sixi was taken aback for a moment, thinking: Did I say something wrong?
"What did you say about your brother?"
An unintentional sentence allowed Du Shouyi to grasp a very important link in his future calligraphy: 'vigor and spirit'.This is a sentence that people in Kyoto often talk about, but it has been ignored by him because of the "darkness under the lights".
In fact, the system has already equipped Du Shi with the "spirit and spirit" that he should have in his pen, which is the "three-color domineering" that he once regarded as tasteless!
Essence, energy, and spirit are unique concepts in China. Everyone has heard of them, but can you explain clearly what is essence, what is qi, and what is spirit?
It only takes a few seconds to be enlightened.In that instant, Du Shouyi figured it out:
'Jing' is spirit.A sane person can see thousands of miles clearly, and can also gain insight into the slightest.That is the color of his knowledge.
'Qi' means qi and blood, which is 'power'.That is his armed domineering.
'God', demeanor, imposing manner.Is there anything more appropriate than the overlord color?
If the spirit is healthy, the qi and blood will be prosperous, and if the qi and blood are prosperous, the spirit will be high, and the spirit will be vigorous. These three kinds of domineering can form a closed cycle, and build up the "spirit, energy and spirit" of his calligraphy!
The ancestor of brushwork 'Cai Yong' discussed the three elements of calligraphy aesthetics: strength, potential, and possession.Now Du Shouyi thoroughly understands them with epiphany, and then transformed them into his own aesthetic benchmarks: 'Essence, Qi, and Spirit'.
From this moment on, his other foot also set foot on the road of "Yasheng" in calligraphy, and he entered the Tao.
