Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

At some point, older people show off more than young people, especially when it comes to their children.

"Isn't it? Shuan Zhu is really promising now. He has been smart since he was a child. Now he is in Shenyang, right? Will you pay your salary?"

"I'm not in Shenyang for a long time, I was promoted, and now I'm in Harbin. I don't understand. I said I was in charge of a province. Alas, I was tired. I looked thinner when I came back this time. What the child wants to do, I can say it." Don’t listen, you say it’s because you’ve trotted over two years to earn some money for our retirement.” Aunt Li wrote with uncontrollable pride that she couldn’t even close her mouth.

"Oh, that's amazing. Then the wages have to go up too. How much is it a month now? Where are you going to pay it all?"

"Well, it's a bit higher. It used to be more than 1000 in Shenyang, but now it's more than 3000. Why don't you pay it? If you don't pay me, I'll discount his legs. This kid has gone far, and he can't have too much money on him. Who knows what will happen to him?" Isn't it human? What if someone coaxes you." Aunt Li wiped her mouth with her hand and said whiningly, but there was really no dissatisfaction other than her face showing off.

A group of old ladies exclaimed together, and even the ignorant ones at the front turned around and took a closer look. Working in a factory these days, a full wage for a full-time worker for a full month is less than 200 yuan. One hundred and forty-five days, the impact of 3000 yuan is really too big.

Aunt Li immediately became the center, surrounded by a group of old ladies chatting, anyway, there is still no shortage of people, my family may have done it, and they are still clever.Is there a match, my girl is called Shui Ling, and she hasn't met a match yet, Aunt Li is all smiles on her face, not to mention her satisfaction.

……

By the time Zhang Xingming was in the queue, two hours had passed. It was a bit slow to get the tickets. You had to count each household, one by one. After you counted, she would count it twice for fear of making a mistake. one sheet.From the street clerks to the ticket collectors are all old ladies, 40 years old is considered young, and they have to talk about homework while counting votes. It's no wonder that the speed can be accelerated.

There is a system for the invoices. What is the composition of these people, how many workers, how many children, and how old the children are? Sometimes there are zeros, a few whole sheets, a half sheet, or a few sheets, and if there is a single sheet, there will be a fight.

Shopping tickets are in the same form as postage stamps. There are dozens of sheets in a large block, some with tear-cut holes, and some are simply printed on large white paper and stamped with a red stamp.

There are also exceptions, such as tickets for large items, bicycles, TVs, etc. are not linked together, they are single sheets like money, and the printing is more beautiful.

After receiving the cloth and meat tickets, Zhang Xingming and Yang Zhendong walked back and had to go to the food station to collect the food tickets.

It was noon when we arrived at the grain station. There are two halls in the grain station. The big one is the hall where you can get tickets to buy grain and oil, and the other is the storefront that sells soy milk, fried dough sticks and twists. It is equivalent to the breakfast shop opened by the rice station, selling breakfast and lunch, food There are only fried dough sticks and soy milk, and the business is quite good.

You can smell the aroma of deep-fried dough sticks floating in the wind from far away. The deep-fried dough sticks and the oil used for deep-fried dough sticks in this era are all very good, and there is no pungent greasy smell at all, it is all attractive aroma.

Dadong rubbed his belly and said, "It's really fragrant. Their twist is delicious. My dad bought it two days ago. The soft twist is not hard, it's sweet and fragrant, and there are sesame seeds on it."

At that time, private families would also fry twists during the New Year's Day, but the most common hard twists were fried, which were crunchy and crispy to the bite.Soft Mahua is not very common in Northeast China, it is considered a novelty, and it tastes different.

Zhang Xingming smelled the aroma of deep-fried twisted dough sticks and got a little greedy. He looked at Dadong and said, "Why don't we both go back to make food, and we can eat here, and I'll cook for you later in the evening, okay?"

Chapter 385 Snacks and Gifts (5)

Dadong nodded without hesitation. In those days, bread, sausage, deep-fried dough sticks and fried dough sticks were really high-end snacks. Usually, children would not be willing to eat them every day. Tasting once or twice a month was amazing.

There are also cakes, biscuits, and canned food. Cakes are only commonly known as trough cakes, which are hard one by one. At that time, they were regarded as the top snacks. During the Chinese New Year, they usually carry two or four boxes, which are relatively heavy. Cakes, few families are really willing to eat them. When others bring them, they put them there, and wait to send them to others. The cakes are transferred between each family like a tourist, and sometimes they will be transferred back to the last place by coincidence. The people who started.

People at that time did not have any concept of shelf life. Many times, the cakes in the box were hairy and hardened, and they were still being delivered like green stones. No one opened them. At that time, the packaging was paper boxes, which were easy to be damaged. Then I can't send it anymore.

There are also people who will carefully open it, and then take out a piece or two to relieve their children's cravings, then carefully wrap it up and tie it up, and continue to deliver it. Everyone knows that no one will eat it.

There are also bear children who will quietly open the box and steal a piece while the adults are not paying attention. Sometimes when they catch up with the travel time for a long time, there are too few cakes inside, and it is too obvious to take a piece, so they take it out and take a small bite before putting it back, haha, The family who received the cake with tooth marks just smiled knowingly, knowing it well.

And those who are really willing to eat will not be angry even if they can't eat it when they open it, and they will know what's going on after throwing it away.

The biscuits at that time are almost invisible now, and no one would eat them in modern times. They are just flour with a little sugar added, and the taste is very bad.At present, there are still many small food factories in Dandong, Liaoning, and Tonghua, Jilin, which are exclusively for North Korea.

And the most expensive gift in those years can only be canned food.

Although the modern canned food market is shrinking, most children may have never eaten it, but in the 80s and 90s, or before the 90s, canned food was quite powerful, and it has always been the big brother in the snack and gift industry status.

At that time, children in ordinary families had the opportunity to eat canned fruit only when they were sick. At that time, there was no synthetic sugar, no additives, no artificial colors and preservatives, and no one used sour fruits that could not be sold in the market to cook canned food. The feeling of being sweet to the heart is something that children who are guarding countless kinds of snacks can't understand or understand.

As for the canned meat, (swallowing a mouthful, writing himself greedy) that is simply a legendary mysterious gift.

The earliest canned meat was supplied to the troops to solve the meat problem during marching and fighting. In the years of resistance and aid, it reached a level that was rarely seen in the domestic market, and the demand of nearly 700 million people.

After the war, in addition to ensuring the rationed supply of troops, canned meat began to enter non-staple food stores in small quantities and became a high-end commodity.

Then began a semi-hostile relationship with Lao Maozi, fought a few games, and the entire northern half of China was preparing for war. Most of the existing permanent fortifications and combat readiness depots were built in those years, and many of them were nuclear-proof. There are air-raid shelters everywhere in the fortification warehouse. Even in the small place of Nanfen, there are seven or eight air-raid shelters, and several mountains have been hollowed out.

The place with the most air-raid shelters in China is Chongqing. Many restaurants and shops in Chongqing are located in air-raid shelters. However, most of the air-raid shelters in Chongqing were built by the Chiang Kai-shek government, and have little to do with the subsequent war preparations.

In those few years, canned meat almost disappeared from the market, and only the armed forces of each factory had a small share, and they followed the military supply line.

Because in those few years, after the old Maozi was rejected for the living and management privileges in the Northeast, some moths came out to stop all aid construction projects, withdraw the aid construction expert team, and demand materials and money to help China in the early stage.

The wagons drove to Moscow one by one, bringing a large amount of light industrial products and meat products, and canned meat became the main force of "debt repayment".At that time, the extremely stubborn government simply took the opportunity to take back the sovereignty and management rights of the Northeast Railway, ending the occupation and abuse of the Northeast by the old Maozi from the Tsarist Russian era to the Soviet era.

When the Soviets controlled the Northeast Railway, although it was impossible to be as brutal as during the Japanese occupation period, after all, it was a time of war, but they did a lot of bad things. Their contempt and hostility towards the Chinese is deep in their bones. Will this be the same as the second time? Does the yellow peril all start from the old Maozi country?

To give a real example, Spring Festival travel has always been a big problem in China from modern times to modern times. Ever since there were trains, the matter of Spring Festival travel has never stopped.

At that time, the Northeast was still under the administration of the Northeast Office, and the chairman was Gao Gang. At that time, the Northeast Office was located in Shenyang, and Harbin was mainly controlled by the Soviets at that time.

Gao Gang reminded the then Soviet stationmaster of Shenyang Railway Station to increase the number of trains to ensure the transport of people returning home. The Soviet stationmaster refused without hesitation, but something happened and people were crowded to death. Gao Gang put the Soviet stationmaster on the platform. He shot him directly with his own hands, which was also the fuse of the Sino-Soviet antagonism.

In fact, now that I think about it, those revolutionaries of the older generation, the first-generation leaders of the new China, were hard-headed enough.

……

After the Great Revolution, because of the serious shortage of materials, canned food became a scarce commodity because it was easy to store and delicious.

After 79 years, canned food, especially canned meat, really became a commodity in circulation and entered the homes of ordinary people. However, its status is still not a food on the table, but a packaged gift.

Compared with the salary of 40 yuan a month, a box of canned food worth a few yuan is really high consumption.

It was not until the 90s that canned food began to be put on the dining table. It was short-lived for a few years, and because of the rapid development of the country, the shortage of supplies quickly turned into a surplus. Once again, it was left out in the cold, and sales plummeted year after year. To this day, there are very few canned food manufacturers still struggling to produce, especially canned meat.

……

Zhang Xingming and Dadong entered the restaurant of the grain station, and there were many people queuing up inside. Dadong licked his lips and asked, "Are you really eating here? It costs food stamps."

The restaurants at the food station did not have bargaining products, and all food stamps had to be paid. At that time, no matter how young or naughty a child was, he knew the value of food stamps.

Zhang Xingming patted his coat pocket and said, "Isn't this just collared? How many can you eat?"

Dadong hesitated for a moment, but finally gave in to the temptation of delicious food and said, "Three or four, is it enough?"

Zhang Xingming nodded and said, "Would you like twists?"

Dadong turned his head to look at the piles of marijuana flower placed in the window, swallowed a few more mouthfuls of saliva, and said with difficulty: "Is it enough? Or, forget it, if you spend too much on food stamps, you won't be beaten when you go home." ah?"

Zhang Xingming said: "It's okay, my food stamps are enough, so buy some, I'll take it back and freeze some."

Chapter 386 The Grain Station Disturbance (1)

Put fresh soy milk on sugar, fill a big bowl, three cents,

The deep-fried dough sticks are as thick as a rolling pin, one foot long, and fried until golden yellow with a blush. The food stamps are [-] cents and [-] taels, and the twisted dough sticks are [-] and a half cents.

The food stamps handed in are glued and pasted on a newspaper. After the paste is full, they will be painted with bright red and green color paste. There is no place to collect the food stamps with color paste to prevent salesmen from Cheating to make a second profit, but this method treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. When will the people at the grain station be short of food stamps? A few old stamps with small amounts or broken stamps should be posted for inspection, and the rest will be correct.

However, it is not easy to find old and incomplete tickets these days. The things that are too precious are well preserved and protected. They are brand new after many years. It can be said that there is no wrinkle. For those who exchange dirty tickets and residual tickets, they are used for voiding.
