Let me tell you what you could eat in a restaurant for ten yuan in the seventies and eighties.
In September 1970, I joined the work, apprentice: 17 yuan per month, 19 in the second year, because I learned to be a riveter, the second half of the year rose to 27, the third year rose to 31, the apprentice 33 yuan, the fourth year rose to 38 yuan, the second level of work, 76 months, to work for 38 yuan, to the early 80s, the national salary, rose to 43 yuan, after two years of general wage adjustment: directly promoted to the section level 8o a few dollars, at this time the price is still relatively stable, after the 9o years, wages have also risen, no price rises fast, At that time, for five yuan, I could drink alcohol, smoke, and eat hard dishes such as big elbows.
At that time, the price of soy sauce was a dime.
One, one corner five and one corner six. There is also a yuan Yasuo liquor. At that time, pork was divided into three grades, and the first class was fat 083 yuan, second-class pork belly 072 yuan, the third class is lean meat 065 yuan, buy with a ticket, forget the salt, 0 pounds of soy sauce12 yuan, vinegar 006 yuan, everything else is about the same, I remember that I was fortunate to be led by a relative to go down to the restaurant, a bowl of noodles and two food stamps 028 yuan, really fragrant, more than 50 years, that taste has not been forgotten! This is the price of the seventies.
One yuan for food and drink, smoking and staying in a hotel, do you believe it? There is a stove in winter, a mosquito in summer, the accommodation fee is 2 cents and 5 cents, usually two cents, a large roasted cake (white noodles) is a dime, a hodgepodge (meat, large bone broth) is 2 cents in a large bowl, and a small bowl is a dime and a half. Alcohol is one or two cents, and cigarettes are nine cents and two cents.
In the 80s of the last century, the Shaolin Temple was released nationwide. I had a dollar in my pocket. Go to the county seat to watch a movie. The ticket price is 1 cent 5. The dumplings in the county town cost two cents a bowl. I ate three bowls for six cents. When the movie didn't start, I read the villain book at the door of the theater for five cents a book. I read two books for a dime. I watched the movie and ate the rice. Do you have a dime left when you get home? You said money was worth a lot of money back then.
In the seventies, it was ...... to get a table for ten yuanAt that time, a colleague of mine got married, and a table of banquets was 5 yuan. In the early seventies, the brothers dared to go to the restaurant to have a meal with two dollars in each pocket. In 79 years, I ordered fried shrimp, red sausage platter, mustard cold skin, spicy chicken, 4 taels of scattered liquor, 2 cups of fresh beer, 2 sesame baked cakes, and spent eight pieces of four!
10 yuan In the 70s of the last century, an adult in the factory canteen was a month's living expenses. 10 yuan to a more high-end restaurant to a table is now no more than 1$5,000 for a table of meals.
It is more down-to-earth to calculate with migrant workers' money. At that time, the money of migrant workers was about two cents and three cents per labor. The compromise is two cents and five. At present, the peasants' wages are at least 250. That is, a thousand times more than before! That's ten dollars, which is equivalent to 10,000 dollars now. Of course, there are also things that were purchased with tickets at that time, so it's even harder to calculate!
According to the wages of workers at that time, ten yuan was almost one-third and a quarter, and more than one-fifth was a high wage, and according to the average quarter, the average salary of workers now is 3,000, and a quarter can also be set up at a table and banquet at about seven or eight hundred, and the dishes may be better than those of ten yuan back then. At that time, prices and wages were much higher than they are now.
In that era, pure green food, there was no fake, forever! The meat was so delicious at that time! All food products have no chemical additives! Now it's everywhere!
No matter how low the prices were in those days, but the hotel was cheap, and how many times did people go to the hotel a month? How many times a year do you even go to a hotel? At that time, there could be several hotels in a city, but now although the prices are very high, restaurants abound, and people also want to go to eat, and they can't afford to go to a restaurant because they don't have money.
