Nowadays, with the rapid price of goods, people have to pay hundreds of dollars for a casual meal.
It can be said that our living standards are now one heaven and one earth compared to those of the seventies.
If you took out 200 yuan to eat at that time, it was estimated that you would have to scare the boss half to death.
After all, at that time, one dollar was enough for a person's living expenses for a month.
So a dollar in the 70s was already a lot of money, and because of the low prices, people would not compare and compare with each other.
Even though it was a dollar, the weight in my hand at that time was heavyAfter all, in the era when a pound of pork only cost a few cents, a dollar was enough for a family to eat a big meal.
Of course, since it comes to eating, it is inseparable from the restaurants of that eraFor the elderly, the restaurant in the 70s is also a feature.
So let's make an assumption, if we take two dollars to go to the restaurant, what can we all eat?
Compared with today's people, at that time, the people who went to the restaurant were either rich or noble, after all, in the era of scarcity of materials, people went to the restaurant to eat very rarely.
Because at that time, most people's salaries were generally 20About 30 bucks.
And these twenty or thirty yuan not only have to maintain the family's expenses, but even have to save some savings for later use.
In this case,It wasn't easy for people to eat out, and at that time people didn't get to the point where everyone had enough to eat.
Therefore, people will never go down to the restaurant to eat unless they are forced to do so, but they are reluctant to returnBut going to a restaurant is not a dream thing, and there are still many families who can eat out for dinner.
It is worth mentioning that at that time, the hotel was not what we imagined.
When people eat in restaurants, they need to buy food stamps in advance, and then use the food stamps to get the required amount of food.
It's like what it means for people to buy vouchers with money nowThis is done to prevent food from being wasted.
I have to say that the people who came from the 70s are the ones who are going through a hard life.
In fact, compared to the restaurant, what is more nostalgic is the appetizer in the restaurant that you can never see again.
Perhaps the older generation knew that there weren't that many fine appetizers at that timeIt's more of our more common food.
The first ones are peanuts or pickles pickled in restaurants.
Although not many people like to eat this thing now, in that difficult era, peanuts were already a rare delicacy, not to mention eggs and meat.
I heard some old people say that every time during the New Year's holiday, the adults in the family will give themselves scrambled eggs to eat.
Under normal circumstances, most people still eat coarse grains, such as nests and turnips, and sometimes even have to eat spoiled food.
So at that time, peanuts were already considered a delicacy in people's hearts.
However, a restaurant is a restaurant after all, and in addition to peanuts, there is also a side dish that is also very popular with peopleThat's cucumber fritters.
Perhaps young people have never heard of the name of this dish, but this does not prevent it from being the "favorite" of many old people
And the reason for the popularity of this dish is actually very simple, because the living conditions of people at that time could not keep up, the meals were less oil and less salt.
Cucumber fritters can just make up for this shortcoming, so many people will never forget it.
Of course, in addition to these, there is also a kind of food that makes ** even forgetful,That's the egg spread.
I heard the older generation often say that in their time, eggs were also very precious, so whenever they went to the restaurant,Stir together the egg mixture with leeks or toons, then spread out an egg cakeIt was a rare delicacy at the time.
And the eggs and leeks are fused together to form a unique flavorPerhaps it is precisely because of this taste that it is a unique accompaniment to the sake.
However, with the improvement of people's living standards, this kind of appetizer has long lost its market.
It can be said that today's young people are really in the blessing and do not know the blessing, if the current standard of living is placed in the 70s, perhaps many people have already blossomed.
Because the cost of education at that time was relatively low, many people did not have the opportunity to receive education at all.
And that's why the older generation is telling their children why they should study hard, because they don't want their children to follow their own path.
They hope that their children will use knowledge to change their own destiny, after all, it was really too bitter at that time.
In many rural areas, due to economic constraints, many families do not even have transportation, and families rely on food stamps to survive.
So, the food stamp is 70The most integral part of the 80s.
If you lose your food stamps, there's a good chance you'll starve your familyJudging from this situation, two dollars at that time was already precious.
Although two dollars can fill a large table of dishes in a restaurant, few people do that.
After all, at that time, a bowl of slim only cost 8 cents, and the ** of meat was only 9 cents.
So if it's really greedy, people won't take out two yuan to go to the restaurant, but people will exchange food stamps for some wine and snacks, and then eat a little casuallyBecause they knew that if they ate and drank too much, then such an act could cause the family to starve.
But we're just an illusion to make the older generation nostalgic for the good old days.
Although many of the original dishes have faded into obscurity, this does not affect its status in people's hearts, because for many people, these dishes are not food.
It is a symbol and embodiment of people's hardships and hard work.
Of course, with the improvement of living standards, the pace of life has become faster, and more and more dishes are also well-known to the public.
Gradually, those traditional dishes also fell off the screen, but I have to say,Although those traditional dishes are no longer on the table, they are still an indelible memory in the hearts of the older generation.
