If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't know how expensive they are
The weight of the word "decoration" can only be understood if you have experienced it yourself. SINCE COMING INTO CONTACT WITH THIS BOTTOMLESS PIT, YOKA-KUN'S WALLET HAS BECOME MORE AND MORE DELICATE, AND TODAY IT HAS REACHED THE POINT WHERE IT IS ABOUT TO RUN OUT OF FOOD.
Just now, I tasted a little Shaxian snacks near my home, and almost died at the checkout counter during the checkout.
That's right. In 2024, the unit price of customers in Shaxian County, Beijing will reach 50 yuan.
I wonder if I haven't eaten much:
A basket of steamed dumplings with willow leaves, a bowl of duck soup wontons, and a piece of duck gizzard.
Because I was so distressed, I packed the leftovers that I didn't eat, and then the boss charged 1 yuan for the packing box, which made my heart hurt even more.
Listening to the thunder in the silence, my soul is broken. Thus, the spirit of saving money was awakened again.
In fact, there are many foods that are cheap, delicious and filling, which can help everyone through the economic crisis. Prepare them in advance when you can't open them, and you may be able to save your life when it matters!
Today, we will summarize how to eat enough for a month with very little money.
The economic base determines the superstructure, and the carbohydrate base determines the degree of satiety.
When faced with insufficient food, the first thing to ensure is the supply of carbohydrates.
Noodles are undoubtedly one of the most convenient and money-saving foods, and they come in a variety of varieties and take up a relatively small proportion of your budget.
Another convenient thing is that most of the time you only need one or two steps in "boiling", "mixing" and "stir-frying".
Stand-alone dough
In the era when bagged instant noodles were often more than 3 yuan, bulk (boxed) instant noodles were very virtuous.
Although it is in bulk, each bag has individual packaging, and the premium of the seasoning is removed, and you can buy about 5 catties of original noodles for less than 30 yuan.
A single piece of bread weighs 80-100g, and it weighs about 3 taels after cooking, so it's no problem to eat seven or eight minutes.
Among the thousands of ways to eat instant noodles, in terms of noodle soup, the editor recommends Zhang Yunlei's style: chop the tomatoes and boil them to turn them into a pot of thick soup, then take a spoonful of Lao Gan Ma, add the dough cake, and lie down an egg, like a fairy.

If you want to dry mix, we recommend any of the hometown sauces you can use, cut one-third of the cucumber shreds and mix well.
The mellowness of the sauce and the fragrance of the cucumber explode in the mouth, and you can get a small blessing in the world for three to five minutes.
vermicelli
"When you're tired, go home" is a warm saying, "When you're hungry, eat a bowl of noodles cooked by your mother", and for people in many provinces in China, the bottom is somen noodles (if not, please name your noodles).
This noodle full of childhood memories guards people's stomachs and is also quite wallet-friendly.
The price of three catties of dried noodles is about 18-25 yuan, and you can cook 30 bowls, which is completely within the budget range.
The production of somen noodles is also quite simple. In addition to the most well-known somen with tomatoes and eggs, I would also like to give you my reservation:
Sanhe oil noodles.
Mix light soy sauce, aged vinegar and sesame oil in a ratio of 2:1.5:1, and put the boiled noodles directly into a bowl and mix well.
Salty, sour, and fragrant are all in one, and any other side dishes are superfluous.
You can also replace the noodles with wonton wrappers, which are called "old lady" rice, which is very good for the stomach.
Guess why the Sanhe oil is so delicious? People used to dip crabs.
Sword cutting surface
People who have eaten dry knife noodles are all amazed by its high degree of restoration.
When we want to take a bite of oily noodles but are shy in our pockets, this simple and convenient shaved noodles can be used as a replacement.
Its texture and thickness create a chewy texture, and when cooked, it is topped with vegetables blanched with the noodles, drizzled with soy sauce, sprinkled with chili flakes, and a small spoonful of piping hot oil...... It will be a ray of light in a life of suffering.
Line surface
This Fujian noodle that frightened all the big stomachs last year really taught everyone a hard lesson.
In Fujian, a childhood that has not been plagued by lines is incomplete.
It can reproduce indefinitely in soup, which really makes us poor ghosts happy.
Pour the cooked noodles into the pre-prepared soup to create the simplest, hearty and filling meal.
The price of 1 yuan and 1 pack is quite affordable, and it can be used as one of the rations in times of economic crisis to adjust the taste.
Shandong pancakes
Shandong's green onions are very tall, and Shandong's pancakes are also huge.
This seemingly simple food is actually very much in line with the healthy dietary needs of modern people: oil-free, salt-free, and made of whole grains.
Eating alone, it has the natural fragrance of grain, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, and the more you chew it, the more you will be full;
It can also participate in rolling up all things.
The mainstream way to eat it is to roll green onions, egg sauce, sprinkles, etc. The burrito, which is not inferior to South America at all, is a taco suitable for the physique of Chinese babies.
Similar to the above noodles, the price of five catties of Shandong pancakes is also around 20-30 yuan, which is healthy and quite affordable!
Northeast rice
The threshold for eating rice is relatively high.
Generally speaking, it is accompanied by stir-fried dishes, so it is often not within the budget of those of us who are poor.
But rice from the Northeast is a bit special: it's so delicious that it can be choked.
With the popularity of the Internet, I found that many friends in the south did not know that people in the Northeast eat rice. Perhaps in their impression, northerners eat mostly pasta.
But the black soil of the Northeast should be known to everyone for its vast and fertile land.
The rice in the Northeast matures every year, absorbing the nutrients of the land, and is fragrant to the point of oil. Even if you don't pursue Daohuaxiang No. 2 (Goyo Rice No. 4) from the Wuchang production area, any Tohoku rice (new rice) is well worth trying.
It's so delicious that you won't feel bleak even without side dishes.
With the same budget of 30 yuan, I also enjoy the happiness of about 5 catties.
Thanks to the efforts of Grandpa Yuan and several generations, our various carbohydrate products are not very expensive today.
Other anti-hunger ingredients
In addition to carbohydrates, what we need daily is fat, protein and dietary fiber.
The ups and downs of life over the past few years have taught me the secret recipe for meat and vegetables:
When you are in a bad financial situation and want to eat some fragrant meat, you can stock up on some minced meat.
The price of pork filling in the vegetable market is 20-30 yuan per catty, which can be divided into 5-8 equal portions and used for stir-fried vegetables or stewed eggs.
Cheap white meat is not only chicken breast, but in fact chicken thighs are not too expensive. You can go to the vegetable market and put on about 3 pistol legs, kneel and beg the boss to help you remove the bones and chop them, and you can make a few decent dishes.
For those who can eat pork, there is one ingredient that seems to be rarely mentioned, but it is quite eye-catching, and that is lard.
As a type of high-quality saturated fat, lard can still be eaten occasionally.
When stir-frying vegetarian dishes, add lard, mixed with a different aroma;
When cooking noodles, dig a spoonful of lard and put it in a bowl, add scallion oil, pepper and chopped green onion, melt with noodle soup, and float a few oil stars on the water surface, and neatly stack the thin noodles into it.
The adjunct of homemade lard: oil residue, is a rare delicacy.
In the vegetable market near my home, I can buy 20 yuan of lard and go home, and I can refine the amount of oil used for more than half a year. And the oil residue sprinkled with salt and sugar will make the poor people forget their sorrows for a while.
Don't forget to eat eggs.
Chinese eggs are delicious and cheap, and the terrifying value for money is enough to silence the rooster and shed tears for the hen.
If any of our readers are accustomed to eating white people's meals, then I have a killer here:
Giant oatmeal.
This cheap bowl of oatmeal replacement, in addition to being a little choking, is also healthy and affordable.
The same is about 50 yuan to buy 3 catties, with our Xinjiang large bucket yogurt, at least 20 days of breakfast.
In addition, no matter where your home is, you can't go wrong with a jar of sauce that the people in your hometown are eating at all times.
Generally speaking, it can combine at least one of carbohydrates and dietary fiber.
Bibimbap, bibimbap, steamed buns, flatbreads, white buns and even baked naan are quite suitable.
After all, one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, and the food in the hometown will not pit its own people, just like my Miaozong will always be left to the people who watch the push.
