Friends, let's talk about the dinner table of the Chinese in the seventies and eighties today, which was very different from now! At that time, the reform and opening up had just begun, the economy was still in its infancy, and everyone's life was tight. Eating, for many people, is the most practical thing.
Having said that, at that time, China was still a world of planned economy, and everything had to be done according to the plan, and even the food eaten had to be divided according to the head. Reform and opening up has just begun, and there are not many things, so everyone has to save some money. So, it's a luxury to have a full meal.
At that time, white rice, steamed buns, and noodles were the protagonists of the table. Meat, eggs, these good things are not common, and everyone mainly relies on vegetables and soy products to replenish their bodies.
There is a small vegetable garden at home, or a collective farm in the village, and that is where the ingredients come from. Especially the brothers and sisters in the countryside, they do heavy work and eat more, and the amount of food is really a big one!
In that era of manual work, people were like machines, and they had to consume a lot of energy every day. In order to have the strength to work, you have to desperately stuff carbohydrates into your stomach.
At that time, there were few varieties, not many meat, eggs and milk, and could only rely on staple foods to fill up. For example, the farmer brother in the 70s had to eat 5,000 calories a day, what a big bowl, compared with the people in the city now, it is simply a heaven and a earth!
However, times have changed, life has changed, and our eating habits have also been turned upside down. Now, big fish and big meat are no longer a luxury, we pay attention to balanced nutrition, protein, fat, vitamins, all of which are indispensable. And, who still does the heavy work every day? With less physical labor, the amount of food will naturally go down. Fast food restaurants are everywhere, healthy eating has become the new fashion, and whether you eat well or not is more important than whether you are full.
conclusion
The "Legend of Rice Volume" in the seventies and eighties, which was the imprint of the times, reflected people's cravings for food at that time. Nowadays, life is getting better and better, from "eating enough" to "eating well", behind this change, the country is moving forward step by step, and it is a witness that the people's lives are getting sweeter and sweeter. The small matter of eating is actually part of the big story of China's development!
Let's put it this way, our food culture is like a vivid movie, every frame is the footprint of the country's progress, and every bite is the taste of people's happiness.
