41、nt take my eyes off the coin changer (自动换币器) fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer. Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note“Please add a
42、 bottle of buttermilk next delivery”and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear. All of this was about more than convenience.
