In the 70s, "going to the restaurant" was a luxury, and a simple 2 yuan was enough to make people taste delicious food in a restaurant on the street. Looking back on that era, this beautiful memory is full of innocence and beauty.
The lifestyle was very different from today, and visiting restaurants was not commonplace. Most people choose to enter the hotel on special days or important occasions to enjoy the unique atmosphere of fireworks. The standard of living is relatively low, the monthly salary of ordinary workers is only about 30 yuan, and the annual income of farmers is even more limited. Therefore, going to the restaurant is not an easy task for many people.
In this era, although the scale of the hotel is small, it is full of a strong sense of life. Buying tickets in advance and receiving the corresponding food stamps becomes a prerequisite for dining. The environment of the hotel is clean and tidy, and the dishes are rich and varied. From braised pork to fish-flavored shredded pork, each dish exudes a unique aroma that will leave you with a long aftertaste. The menu is adapted to the seasons to ensure that every diner can enjoy the freshest cuisine.
At that time, restaurants were mainly state-owned and collective-owned, and there were relatively few individual and private restaurants. Under the planned economy, prices were controlled to a certain extent, making dining in restaurants a luxury. The way people get food also varies from unit to unit, and some need to be rationed through monthly food stamps.
On trains and coaches, food in food trucks** usually does not require food stamps, while near towns, food is relatively abundant, and restaurants can waive the food stamp restriction and provide customers with more choice. In the impoverished mountainous areas, food stamps are especially valuable, and restaurants have a strict rationing system.
The menu in the restaurant is simple in design, and the main dishes served are wotou, steamed buns, and white rice. Customers will need to show food stamps or they will not be able to get their staples. Despite the relatively low price level, people still felt a certain amount of financial pressure to eat in restaurants at that time.
However, the spiritual world of the people of that era was unusually rich. The relationship between people is simple and sincere, and everyone cares for and helps each other in times of difficulty. Despite material scarcity, people's goals in life are simple and clear. This spiritual wealth is difficult to replicate in today's society.
Recalling the wotou and noodles of that era, although simple, they are full of human touch. The people of that era were sincere in their hearts, and their life goals were simple and clear. It was such a difficult time, but it still fills many people with nostalgia.
In the seventies, "going down to the restaurant" was a luxury treat, and 2 yuan was enough to experience a delicious taste in a restaurant on the street. Although today's standard of living has improved greatly, the fond memories of that era are deeply imprinted in our hearts. Whenever we recall that time, we can't help but feel a lot of emotion, nostalgic for the 70s, which was full of innocence and beauty.
