During the pandemic, canned food has become precious, and the food quality that is easy to store makes them important on the shelves. And, of course, there's the deliciousness and the essential nutrients.

Cans jump into the shopping cart in a swaggering manner, like the action actors in Hong Kong and Taiwan films, ensuring a handsome landing posture, and then they go straight to the storage cabinets and refrigerators of each family, and make a temporary appearance among the bland vegetables and fresh meat.
"You can't do it without me", and the momentary expansion of self-confidence prompted them to quickly align themselves with rice, noodles, and oil.

In the 1980s, children's fondness for canned food came from film and television animation. Zheng Yuanjie's "Canned Villain" opens up a possibility for every child's childhood. The hidden secrets are revealed little by little when the adults lead them into the grocery store, and they quickly lock on to the target in the small talk between their mother and the salesman's aunt, only to wait for her to pay the bill, politely ask "what else do you want to eat", and extend their small hands to a slightly remote corner of the shelf: "This".
* The Canned Villain movie
The air at the grocery store freezes in an instant. Canned meat was a luxury consumption for the wages of the adults at that time, and the salesman's aunt was excited with a little trepidation, she had become accustomed to the parents suddenly changing their faces, dragging the children's arms and turning their heads to rush to the door with two springs, and the strength of the contest would highlight the advantages of adults in the "bang" of the spring door closing - because if it was not evacuated quickly, a not-so-good sitcom would be staged with great weight. And immediately disappear from the scene of the accident, even if the children cry their noses into a straight line, and keep swinging in the air, it is only a matter of two people.
Canned memories of childhood

If luck is good enough, the adults will also generously pull out a large-denomination banknote from their wallets while satisfying the appetite of the family.
The salesman aunt will express her mood at this moment with a series of product introductions. You and your mother know that the manufacturer of canned meat is a long-established canned factory, in addition to producing braised pork, but also produce braised beef, you should remember its name; braised beef is very delicious, the son of the salesman's aunt can kill a large can by himself, you subconsciously swallowed the saliva; as a return to the VIP customers in the store, she taught her own exclusive canned meat eating method, your mother is eager to try...

All in all, the shop is a happy and harmonious scene. At this time, when you leave, your steps are light, and it is possible to jump and jump. It is important that everything else can be carried by your mother, and that the canned meat must be held tightly in your arms, which is the right way for a child to return triumphantly from the grocery store.
A big name in the can as a child
*Know
The canned meat was bought back, and the adults lifted the tin lid according to the operating instructions as the children watched intently. The children held their breath, their hands unconsciously pressed against the cutting board, and the magic canned villain did not appear, and the next step could only be full of expectations for its deliciousness.
The canned villain in the movie
* "Canned Villain"
Mothers' attitude towards canned meat is very realistic compared to that of their children, who tend to maximize the use of food based on the principle of thrifty family life.
They will pick out the amber jelly condensed from the soup and put it in your mouth, and then cut a few slices of fat and even pork belly for Grandma. The remaining canned meat is added to the cabbage, tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes, and turned into a pot of canned canned shadows.

At your young age, the peculiar intuition of a eater (sorry, I don't like to use the word foodie) will make you deeply suspect that it is a tyranny to do so, how satisfying it is to taste the canned meat directly opened, the fat melts in the mouth, the lean meat is crisp, and they have the supreme glory of being canned. But in mom's deep-rooted concept, canned braised pork sends plenty of oil and water to the partners in the pot to benefit every root leaf vegetable, which is the virtue of a can of braised pork.

Another "canned animation" that has had a deep impact on children comes from Popeye.
* Popeye cartoon
Whenever Popeye's girlfriend Oliver is kidnapped by his lover, Pluto, Popeye always has to open a can of spinach and eat it to defeat his opponent. Children can see the changes in Popeye's body after eating spinach, or rather the change in the forearm engraved with the sailor's logo. It made him stronger, more powerful, more manly.
* Popeye cartoon
A child is not interested in spinach on the dinner table, and parents always have to be particularly wise to lead the topic to Popeye, only in this way can they aim their chopsticks at the long-awaited plate of spinach fried pork liver.
In this process, "spinach" has almost become synonymous with many nutritional elements. Unfortunately, in real life, spinach never seems to appear in the form of canned food, even if we see the uncommon canned donkey meat and canned crayfish when we come to the house, spinach is just a kind of ordinary leafy green leafy vegetable lazily lying in the farmer's market without any mystery.
* Popeye cartoon
Therefore, no matter how much delicious spinach egg soup we drink and how many spinach in shabu-shabu are eaten, we still hope to taste the famous canned spinach and popeye canned.
Canned food is sometimes given a certain meaning by people.
For example, canned peaches and canned quail eggs. Adults visiting both maternity and sick people bring canned fruit, and the number of cans is usually double, which is said to be very auspicious.
Canned peaches have a supreme place in canned fruit, and eating them can keep people from escaping bad luck. Children have a high fever in winter, and canned yellow peaches will stand neatly at the head of the bed along with cold medicine. After eating the canned yellow peach and taking another cold medicine, the cold medicine suddenly became less difficult to swallow. Sometimes in just one night, the number of the thermometer drops to normal.

But if you feel uncomfortable crying and clamoring for canned yellows for yourself, after you've recovered quickly, your parents will most likely look at you with suspicious eyes, as if someone had lied.
Some children like to call canned quail eggs "safe eggs", especially if they have never seen a quail, and they are convinced that the eggs of a quail are canned and renamed: safe eggs.
* Baoshan Daily
Every midterm, final and other big exams, fritters and eggs have become an outdated breakfast, day after day has no freshness of the white boiled water how can be compared to the brine soaked salty "safe eggs", and each "safe eggs" are so easy to peel, as if they are ready to be eaten by you, and the exam is a rare opportunity, for your hundred points, parents are willing to sponsor a can of "safe eggs", after eating it, under the inertia of their sentence after sentence "how did the test" ask, " OK" will actively switch to "I answered anyway".
Because there will be a little voice in your heart praying, "I've eaten a lot of safe eggs." ”
Do you still have these cans at home?
