to our doorstep His name was Mr Basille He wore a white cap and drove a white truck As a 5 year old boy I couldn t take my eyes off the coin changer 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 bottle of buttermilk next delivery and place it in the box along with the empty bottles And then the buttermilk would magically 魔术般 appear All of this was about more than convenience There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen Mr Basille even had a key to our house for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors so that the milk wouldn t freeze And I remember Mr Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery There is sadly no home milk delivery today Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete 竞争 Besides milk is for sale everywhere and it may just not have been practiced to have a delivery service
