PS: Now that my life is really rich, I don't even want to eat meat, how many of you have eaten enough? The house felt something and wrote this chapter.

Friends who feel the same way, vote for two tickets for the house!

Then the second grandmother took Yuanyuan's hand and told her in detail about the practice of sweet potato porridge.

To make the white potatoes clear and clean, then cut them into granules. However, some people cut it into slices and wait for it to dry before grinding it into granules or powder.

When I eat it, I use a lot of sorghum rice (not the sticky sorghum rice I eat now, I ate it when I was a child, and we generally call it song rice here, and the local name is stupid song rice, and sticky rice are two different sorghum rice. Mix together and cook into porridge.

When it comes to the second grandmother of sorghum rice, she is interested, and she said a little more: "It is said that sorghum rice is really not delicious, mainly because it is difficult to swallow when it pulls its throat, and it is estimated that it is now extinct." I hadn't seen it in years, but at the time it was a good thing that fed a generation. ”

"Well, I ate this thing for a few years when I was a child, not only cooking porridge, but also making rice, which is much more unpalatable than rice, mainly because it is not easy to swallow. There are still some that are sold, and it is said that this thing is very nutritious, just like other whole grains. Wang Yong followed.

"At that time, it was quite good to be able to eat sweet potato porridge all the time, this thing was very sweet, much better than the other foods. You can't eat this thing until the end of the year, and many people can't even afford to cut a pound of meat by the end of the year. At that time, I saw that the eyes of the flesh could glow green, and I saw that the rat holes were all dug up and dug up. Before the uncle finished speaking, the aunt opened her mouth to take over the conversation.

"If you can dig a rat hole, the whole family will be happy for at least a week. Especially in the winter. Not only can you eat meat, but there will be food stored by rats in general rat holes. I was lucky enough to dig up half a bag, enough for a family to eat for a month. ”

"Ahh Eat mice? Yuanyuan covered her mouth and resisted the desire to vomit.

"Is it delicious?" Wang Yong was quite interested. Because there was a time when I was a child, the people who sold rat medicine on the market said that they recycled rat tendons, and it cost more than ten yuan per catty.

A dozen bucks? When Wang Yong remembered a popsicle for five cents, sour plum powder for five cents, and a sugar cube for one or two cents. When it's like a few friends are crazy, shijie catches rats.

Dawei, that guy said that he heard his father say that the rat meat is fragrant. When the time comes, let's burn it and eat it. As a result, Wang Qiang and Wang Bin were also hungry when they heard this, so they were ready to eat a big meal after they caught it. He also deliberately asked the two bear children to find dry firewood, just waiting to satisfy their hunger after catching mice.

But I don't know if it was because people caught it too badly in the past, or if we were too stupid and didn't catch a single mouse after being busy for most of the day. Zuihou had luck haode caught a pheasant roasted, and the big guy shared a piece of meat, and the one that ate was fragrant! I'm still drooling when I think about it.

But since then, a group of friends have been thinking about it, and they all want to taste whether the rat meat is as delicious as the legend.

"What's delicious or not? At that time, as long as it was meat, it was delicious. "The second master came to say this.

"Yes! At that time, I was really poor, not only did I not eat. None of them were worn. It's all made by the eldest child, and if you can't wear it, you can give it to the second, then the third, then the fourth, all the way down, and it's really a family without children to give it to relatives and friends. Liu Huilan's words made Yuanyuan's eyes widen.

Born in the city, she did not suffer these sins at all, and when she was born, her parents had already gone to the city to teach. Although the living conditions at that time were not very good, there was definitely no shortage of food and clothing. You can even have pocket money in your hand. This is much happier than Wang Yong, who was born in the village.

"It's all the same, at that time, they were all distributed tickets, and they gave that little a year, so could?"

"Who says it's not. How difficult was it then? Even the prime minister's shirt is discounted and patched, and he is reluctant to change it. Zuihou had no choice but to make a new collar to put on. It looks like it's new, but it's full of patches. The second mother's words reminded the young man of the text when he was a child.

It is really impossible to imagine that the prime minister of a big country can't even afford to wear a new shirt! But that's what should be the case. Rural people born in those years of the early eighties. How many of them didn't wear patched clothes, patched socks?

"I remember when I was a kid and I wore patched clothes and patched socks when I was in elementary school! It seems that all of us were like that back then. The only new clothes or those without patches can only be worn during the Chinese New Year. Wang Yong said with emotion.

"You should have been much better by then. It also caught up with the tail of the ticket supply, which is much stronger than before. We're going to have to ask for votes for everything. As small as a box of firewood, as large as the "three major pieces", sewing machines, bicycles, watches. There is no such thing as a ticket? ”

"Even need a ticket to buy firewood?"|

"No, I remember when I first came to the city to work. The school gave a welfare and one person gave two catties of fish tickets. I happily went to the grocery store after school. At that time, I thought about buying fish and taking it back to your grandmother to improve it. Liu Huilan paused at this point.

Yuanyuan was listening to it with relish, so she asked, "Then what kind of fish did you buy for my grandmother?" ”

Wang Yong found that several elders showed a wry smile when they heard Yuanyuan's words. What's going on? You must know that the port city is a coastal tourist city, can you still buy fish by the sea?

I heard Liu Huilan continue: "When I arrived at the store, I saw a bunch of people crowded at the door of the store. When I inquired, I said that there was a new batch of frozen silver carp and hairtail. I was so happy! But when it was almost time for me, I saw the salesman pick up the scale and turn around and leave. ”

"Isn't it? Is it really sold out? Wang Yong was really shocked, did people love fish so much at that time?

"Isn't it? The two-pound fish ticket was in my hand for more than half a year before it was replaced by fish. ”

"How so? Aren't we by the sea? How can there be a shortage of fish to eat! Yuanyuan asked very incomprehensibly.

"Do you still use a ticket for fish? Just find a ditch to fish? "Wang Yong grew up in a place with mountains and rivers in Banshan Village, and there has always been no shortage of fish to eat.

Yuanyuan's father gave an explanation: "Then there will be a lack of everything." Although we are close to the sea, there are many more opportunities to eat fish than in the inland areas. But at that time, it was the Jihua economy, and everything was uniformly allocated by the state. It's not that just because you have a lot of stuff here is going to be left for you. ”

"Yes, that's right. For example, when the fishermen here catch a fish, they don't just pull it down and sell it in the market, but they must first hand it over to the market. Then there will be a large part of it according to the jihua shipped everywhere. At that time, all the grains were returned to the warehouse, and zuihou caused the phenomenon that there was no fish to eat in this place where fish was produced. The second grandmother's explanation is very appropriate, which illustrates this very common phenomenon in society at that time.

"I remember that during the Chinese New Year, in order to buy a little melon and peanuts, I ran to the grocery store before 12 o'clock the night before I ran to the grocery store, and I didn't take the first place. There have been dozens of shoots in front, and the earliest one came over after work on the first day. Yuanyuan's father said slowly.

"I remember that it was the Spring Festival of the sixtieth year, and the chairman invited a group of actors who had just finished performing at the party to dinner. Do you know what you eat?" The second master looked at Wang Yong and Yuanyuan and asked.

"State banquet, do you still need to ask?" Wang Yong seemed to be very clear.

"Let's eat meat, it wasn't easy to eat a good meal of meat at that time." Uncle also joked.

"I didn't even think of eating steamed buns! A table with a pot of big buns and a pot of soup. The second grandmother didn't let the second master continue to sell Guan Zi, and directly said a word.

"Isn't it? The chairman invited everyone to eat steamed buns? It's a state banquet! Uncle's eyes widened. A look of disbelief.

"What's this? During the three years of the disaster, they had to pay off their debts after falling out with the Soviet Union, and the chairman and prime minister did not eat meat for more than half a year. "The second wife, as a staff member around the prime minister, has a very say in this matter.

"Hey! Those years were really bitter! The people of the whole country are the same as not having enough to eat. The leaves and bark of the entire capital were almost eaten. Even starving to death has not happened less, and this is still in the capital. I don't know what about other remote and difficult provinces! After the second grandmother finished saying this, everyone was speechless for a long time.

Wang Yong looked at the table in front of him and felt that he was really too extravagant. Especially when I saw that the one in my bowl stopped eating half of it, and was about to throw it to the half-bowl of meat slices with white hair under the table. Wang Yong felt that he was really guilty!

"There is still such a thing in our country!" Yuanyuan, who has been growing up in a honey pot since birth, has a hard time understanding how this could happen.

"Hehe, when you were born, our life was already very good. Not to mention how good it is to eat. At least everyone will have enough to eat. Tian Yufan sighed and said.

The uncle also said excitedly: "You don't know! In the first year of the division of the fields, after all the grain was recovered. In addition to the public grain handed over to the state, for the first time, our family had so much wheat and corn, and Dae and I secretly packed a pocket of corn at night. Just chew it raw! That incense, it's so fragrant! ”

"Yes! That year, when my family celebrated the New Year, I killed the big fat pig raised at home, and I kept more than a dozen catties of meat and a big pig's head. On the same day, my mother cooked the pig's head, and our family of seven gnawed a big pig's head at once. It never occurred to us that we could eat meat in one meal. That meat is so delicious! When the aunt said this, she swallowed a saliva.

"Yes, yes. After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, our days were better than one day at a time. Our piece is eighty-three. Eighty-four years of land, since then we have never heard of anyone in our village still starving. Uncle added.

"We too, after the country's reform and opening up, this life is generally getting better and better. Especially after entering the new century, if nothing else, just look at the children of today. A can of milk powder is hundreds, and a small piece of clothing is dozens or even hundreds. I was dazzled by all the toys. Liu Huilan said with a smile.

"It's not like that, let's just say that the mobile phone that Qianqian bought for me costs thousands of yuan each. Before that, our salary was only fifty dollars a month. I can't afford such a thing with my salary for a few years. The second grandmother took out the mobile phone that Wang Qian bought.

"I used to be crazy when I wanted to eat meat for the time being, but now I'm tired of eating meat, and I've changed to vegetables, or wild vegetables!"

"That's what green now, and what pollution-free, organic vegetables are much more expensive than meat. What's more, Wang Yong got this super vegetable, I heard that there are people in the city now who can't buy it for a thousand yuan a catty? Liu Huilan was suddenly excited when she said this.

"Blessed are the children of today!" The second master sighed. I didn't think that I would be bored one day, and I never dreamed of my current life. (To be continued......)
