Chapter 385: Snacks and Gifts (5)

Dadong nodded without hesitation, that year, bread, sausage, fritters, twist was really a high-end snack, where was the usual willingness to let the child eat every day, once or twice a month. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There are also cakes and biscuits, canned food, cakes are only commonly known as trough cakes, a piece of hard, at that time it is the top existence in the snacks, the New Year will generally carry two or four boxes of doors, it is a relatively heavy gift, few families are really willing to eat, others sent it and put it there, waiting for another person to send it, the cake is like a tourist between the families, sometimes it will be very clever to turn back to the beginning of the family.

At that time, people did not have the concept of shelf life, many times the cakes in the box were long and hard, like green stones and continued to be sent, no one opened to see, at that time the packaging was a carton, easy to break when opened, then it could not be sent again.

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

There are also bear children who will take advantage of the adult's inattention to quietly open the box to steal a piece to eat, sometimes catch up with the longer travel time, the cake inside is too little, take a piece is too obvious, take a small bite and then put it back, haha, received the cake with tooth marks at home is just a smile, knowing.

And the people who are really willing to eat are the ones who open it and see that they can't eat it all, and they won't get angry.

At that time, the biscuits are not seen at all now, and no one will eat them in modern times, it is completely flour with a little sugar, and the taste is very poor. At present, only Dandong, Liaoning Province, Jilin Province, and Tonghua area, there are still many small food factories doing it, which are exclusively for North Korea.

And the tallest gifts in those years could only be canned food.

Don't look at the shrinking modern canned food market, most children may never have eaten it, but in the 80s and 90s, or before the 90s, canned food was quite awesome, and it has always been a big brother in the snack industry and gift industry.

At that time, children in ordinary families only had the opportunity to eat a bite of canned fruit when they were sick, there were no synthetic sugars, no additives, no artificial colors and preservatives, and no one used sour and astringent fruits that could not be sold in the market to cook canned food.

As for the canned meat, (swallowing a big mouthful of spit and writing himself greedy) it was a legendary and mysterious gift.

At the beginning, canned meat was supplied to the troops to solve the problem of meat in the march and war, and in the past few years, the resistance has reached a rare point in the domestic market, and the demand of nearly 7 million people has reached it.

After the end of the war, in addition to ensuring the ration of the troops, canned meat began to enter the grocery store in small quantities and became a high-end commodity.

Then began the semi-hostility with Lao Maozi, fought a few battles, the entire northern half of China entered the war preparation, most of the existing permanent fortifications and war readiness depots were built in those years, many of them are anti-nuclear level fortifications, there are air-raid shelters everywhere, even the small place of Nanfen has seven or eight air-raid shelters, hollowing out a few mountains.

The place with the most air-raid shelters in China is Chongqing, where many restaurants and shops are now opened, but most of the air-raid shelters in Chongqing were built by the Chiang government, and have little to do with the later construction of war preparedness.

In those years, canned meat was almost wiped out of the market, and only the armed forces of each factory would have a small share, and it was the military supply line.

Because in those years, after Lao Maozi was denied the privilege of residence and management in Northeast China, he made some moths to come out, stopped all aid projects, withdrew the aid construction expert group, and asked for materials and money to help China in the early stage.

The wagons drove to Moscow one by one, bringing with them a large number of light labor products and meat products, and canned meat became the main force for "repaying debts". At that time, the extremely hard-hearted government simply took the opportunity to take back the sovereignty and management of the Northeast Railway, ending the encroachment and humiliation of Lao Maozi on the Northeast from the Tsarist era to the Soviet era.

When the Soviets controlled the Northeast Railway, although it could not be as ferocious as during the Japanese occupation, it must have been a war year, but bad things were not less, their contempt and hostility to the Chinese were in their bones, could this be related to the second yellow peril from the old Maozi country?

To give a real example, from modern times to modern times, the Spring Festival transportation has always been a big problem, and since the beginning of the train, the Spring Festival transportation has not stopped.

At that time, the Northeast was still under the control of the Northeast Office, and the chairman was Gao Gang, who was stationed in Shenyang at that time, and Harbin was mainly controlled by the Soviets during that period.

Gao Gang reminded the Soviet stationmaster of the Shenyang Railway Station at that time to increase the number of trains to ensure the transportation of the returnees, but the Soviet stationmaster refused without hesitation, and as a result, something happened and people were squeezed to death.

In fact, now that I think about it, those revolutionaries of the older generation and the first generation of leaders of New China are hard enough to be intimidated.

……

After the Revolution, because of the severe shortage of materials, because it was easy to store and delicious, canned food became a scarce material for a time.

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

Compared with the salary of thirty or forty yuan a month, a box of canned food of a few yuan is really high consumption.

In the 90s, canned food began to be really put on the table, a short period of glory for a few years, and because the speed of domestic development is too fast, the lack of materials quickly became more, the people directly leapfrogged to the well-off, canned food was once again left aside, sales fell sharply year after year, to this day, there is still little left of the canned food manufacturers who are struggling to produce, and it is canned meat.

……

Zhang Xingming and Dadong entered the restaurant of the grain station, and there were many people queuing up, Dadong licked his lips and asked, "Do you really eat here?" ”

There were no bargaining goods in the restaurants at the grain station, and all food stamps had to be paid, and no matter how young and naughty the children were, they knew the preciousness of food stamps.

Zhang Xingming patted his coat pocket and said, "Didn't you just get it? How many can you eat?"

Dadong hesitated, but finally succumbed to the temptation of the food and said, "Three, four, enough, right?"

Zhang Xingming nodded and said, "Do you want twist?"

Dadong turned his head to look at the piles of marijuana flowers placed in the window, swallowed a few more mouthfuls of saliva, and said with difficulty: "Enough to eat, right? Or, forget it, you can't be beaten when you go home with too many food stamps?"

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