He was the national leader of our country and an excellent member of the Communist Party. In the early 80s of the 20th century, ** gradually resigned from his position and began his retirement.
After retiring, ** lived most of the time in a courtyard in Beijing's West Imperial City Roots, living a plain and quiet life. Next, let's share his life after retirement, especially his daily diet.
**Diabetes in his later years required strict control of sugar intake, so his daily diet was strictly managed. After his retirement, he became an avid grape grower, and even went to a farm on the outskirts of Beijing to learn viticulture, and his family had 50 or 60 varieties of grapes.
However, due to the high sugar content of the grapes, he rarely eats them even when they are ripe, and most of the grapes are given to the surrounding staff or security personnel.
**As a native of Jiaocheng, Shanxi, his love for hometown food comes from the taste formed in his youth. Therefore, even in his later years, he always adhered to the principle of "simple" eating, pursuing the original taste of food and cooking it in an equally concise way.
**Regular life in later years, get up on time at about seven o'clock in the morning, breakfast is nutritious, milk, egg custard, flower rolls, steamed buns, eat with relish, especially roasted steamed bread slices, even if it is hard, he can eat sweet.
After breakfast, he likes to be active for a while, then read the newspaper or write, and occasionally meet guests, but not often.
**: A lifetime of love for Shanxi pasta **Shanxi Jiaocheng people, a lifelong love for hometown noodles. Shanxi specialty noodles such as ramen, knife-cut noodles, and "cat ears" are his favorites, and sometimes he even tastes Zangzi noodles.
Pasta from his hometown is an indispensable part of his life, and whenever it is not a special day, he will choose pasta from his hometown for lunch. * The eating habits are very frugal, generally only eat three dishes for lunch, a meat, a vegetarian and meat and vegetarian combinations, he likes to eat popular dishes such as radish, cabbage, pumpkin and yam, he has no special interest in mountain and sea delicacies, his way of eating is like an ordinary farmer, simple.
Even if there are leftovers, ** will continue to eat them at the next meal, and his frugal attitude to life is also reflected in his eating habits.
**'s eating habits are very simple, especially for dinner, he often only eats a bowl of porridge or rice porridge, and sometimes adds a baked cake. Even during the holidays, he eats dumplings, but because of the restrictions of diabetes, his wife will strictly control his diet to ensure his good health.
There is also a special feature of the diet, that is, he has always practiced a separate meal system, and his family has become accustomed to this way of eating. He thought that as a national cadre, the state took care of him, so he could eat better, but his family could not benefit from this, so he chose to divide the meal.
This noble quality and fine tradition are worthy of our learning and admiration.
**My favorite dim sum is the radish shortbread, which is made with traditional Beijing sesame sauce and noodles and added with shredded radish. Even in the last month of his life, he still remembered this treat.
As for meat, **'s favorite is boiled mutton, but due to the influence of diabetes, he does not eat it often, especially in his later years, when doctors are strict with his diet, he eats boiled mutton less often.
