<p class="ql-block"> Good Taste Of My “DIY” In the 1960s and 1970s last century, I went back to my hometown to be a farmer. I learned a lot from the peasants there, not only sowing or harvesting, but also common sense of life , such as food making. So great was my passion for brewing sweet sauce and picking cucumbers with it. As far as I could see, citizens lived city and young people grew in countryside hardly had experience of brewing, go so far observing the process of it neither . Some really keen enthusiasts to do it by myself, I asked my aunt for helping . My aunt catered for the special advice of brew method to me, even taught me by her hands. Let’s look at the following : At the beginning of summer when mildew rains came, I kneaded flour and rubbed it into small slices , then boiled them in hot water, fished out ,and cooled on bamboo mat. The most important thing to me ,the boiled slices needed to put under the shady place. Nearly 25 days later, in middle of July, mildew rains season had passed, it came the hottest day of a year. My aunt told me to break the moldy slices into stives. By the way, it was said, that dry mildew weather caused the hair of mildew yellow, and wet mildew weather made the hair taupe color. The next step, I hauled an urn, filled half cold boiled water, and put the moldy stives in it. I carried the urn on the roof of my house under the burning sun. I paid great attention of not let it get rains day and night, for if not , the brewing failed. After half a month ,the urn which was exposed under burning sun, the slices with water of the urn became dark sauce red color,smelled mellow and rich, my sweet sauce was complete. I felt happily and successfully. I embarked on dipping cucumbers which I prepared, washed and cooled ,into the sweet sauce urn. The urn continued received hot sunshine for a week or more, my wonderful taste sweet picked cucumbers had been done. The sauce could picked cucumbers for 3 times, and the cucumbers of the first picking was the best tasty, the cucumbers sounded sweet and honey. I boiled the sauce which couldn’t pick again , and used it when I cooked food. Of course it was a fine soy sauce.</p> <p class="ql-block"> My Essay ～ Predicting The Service For The Aged In Future It is more remarkable that AI technology has recently developed and contributed to our daily lives, as well as faster the social aging increased.

There is a river named “张家浜” flowing in front of my house. It has played an important part in our lives. Without it, the farmers there wouldn't have been able to make a living. All the farming and daily life depended on the river: catching fishes and shrimps in spring, fetching water to irrigate (sometimes pumping) in hot summer, shipping vegetables to the market wharf in autumn harvest, and digging up river mud for fertilizer in cold winter. The river is our great mother who has brought up several generations of us. Of course, most of the villagers’ surnames are “张”, and my surname is 张, and my name is 张亦民。</p><p class="ql-block"> </p><p class="ql-block">One summer, after several days of thunderstorm rain, the river crept up the bank and the current overflowed the wooden bridge. I thought it was a rare occurrence as the climate seemed to be going to extremes. Suddenly, a big lightning flashed and thunder crashed. The bridge couldn't stand the destruction by the floods. The foundation of the bridge was swept away, and then a large snake appeared, which was escaping toward the bank. As soon as I saw it, I ran out and caught it at once. I cooked it into a delicious dish and enjoyed it. You know how delightful it was in the hard life of the countryside.</p> <p class="ql-block"> Collection～《The Bill With Four Uncut RMB Notes 4th Series》 第四套人民币四方联连体钞 I paid more attention to Chinese paper money ,due to my banking profession, and I was particularly fond of the uncut- notes paper money.

Over the years, our collector’s circle of friends grew up . Let me introduce you something about 《The Bill With Four Uncut RMB Notes 4th Series 》as the following: Since the establishment of People’s Republic of China, the People’s Bank of China has issued five sets of RMB. The fifth set of RMB is now currency, while the others have been withdrawn from markets and stop using. Except a small parts of them for collection, then the most have been recycled and destroyed. The fourth set of RMB was issued and circulated by China’s reform and opening-up period. The bill with four uncut RMB notes of the four set is the first of its kind issued in our country, had important historical significance. The notes are scarcity, exquisite design and strong anti counterfeiting feature. The uncut-notes owned for a long time are full of associations with China’s bank culture and gradually acquire a value beyond true worth.
