Peculiar Scene
Pyongyang, October 6 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il dropped in at a house of newly married couple of ex-soldiers while giving field guidance to the just constructed Wonsan Youth Power Station one day in January this year.

He asked them about their life in detail like their real father before riveting his eyes on balls of soybean malt hanging on a wall of the upper room.

With bright smile on his face, he stressed the balls of soybean malt represented a peculiar scene only to be seen in socialist rural dwellings.

He told the smell of soybean malt was nice, adding: It is sure that the housewife is versed in making soybean paste and sauce.

That day he had a picture taken with the couple and blessed their future.
