Then ** took Yuanyuan's hand and told her in detail how to make sweet potato porridge.

First, clean the sweet potatoes and then cut them into granules. However, some people cut them into slices and then grind them into granules or powder after drying.

When eating, it is mixed with a large amount of sorghum rice (not the sticky sorghum rice I eat now. I ate it when I was a child. It is usually called song rice here. The local name is stupid song rice. It is two different sorghum rice and sticky rice.) and cooked into porridge.

When talking about sorghum rice, I was interested in it, so I said a little more: "By the way, sorghum rice is really not delicious, mainly because it is difficult to swallow when you are thrusting. It is probably extinct now. I haven't seen it for many years, but it was a good thing at that time, and it has been a generation of people."

"Well, I ate this thing for a few years when I was a child. Not only did I cook porridge, but also made rice. It is much harder to eat than rice, mainly because it is difficult to swallow. There are still people who sell it now. It is said that this thing is as nutritious as other coarse grains." Wang Yong said.

"At that time, I could always have sweet potato porridge, even if I had a pretty good time. This thing was very sweet and much better than other foods. Even this thing cannot be eaten until the end of the year. Many people can't even cut a pound of meat by the end of the year. At that time, I saw the meat with green light, and when I saw the mouse hole, I was digging very much." Before my uncle finished speaking, the aunt took over the conversation.

"The whole family will be happy for at least one week if they can dig into the mouse hole. Especially in winter, not only can they eat meat, but they usually have food stored by mice in the mouse hole. If you are lucky, you can dig up half a bag, which is enough for the whole family to eat for a month."

"Ah! Eat a mouse?" Yuanyuan covered her mouth and forced herself to vomit.

"Is it delicious?" Wang Yong was quite interested. Because when he was a child, the person selling rat medicine at the market said that it was to recycle rat tendons, which cost more than ten yuan per pound.

More than ten yuan? It was Wang Yong who remembered that a popsicle was five cents, sour plum powder was five cents, and a piece of candy was one or two cents. It was just like a few friends who were crazy about catching rats all over the world.

Dawei said that he heard his father say that the rat meat was so delicious, so we would cook it and try it. As a result, Wang Qiang and Wang Bin were greedy when they heard this, so they simply prepared to catch it and have a big meal before talking. They also asked the two naughty children to find dry firewood, and waited to catch the mouse and satisfy their cravings.

But I don’t know if it was because people caught too hard in the past or because we were too stupid. After most of the time, we didn’t catch a rat. Finally, we were lucky enough to catch a pheasant and roast it. Everyone divided a piece of meat, which made it so delicious! Now I still drool 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 legendary one.

"What's good or not? At that time, as long as it was meat, it would be delicious." Second Master said this.

"Yes! I was so poor at that time. Not only did I have no food, but I didn't have enough clothes. I made one for the older children. I couldn't wear it and gave it to the second child, then the third child, and then the fourth child, kept rowing downwards. If I really had no children at home, I would give it to my relatives and friends' homes." Liu Huilan's words made Yuanyuan's eyes widen.

She had never suffered these sins when she was born in the city. When she was born, her parents had already taught in the city. Although her living conditions were not very good at that time, she would never be short of food and clothing. She could even have pocket money, which was much happier than Wang Yong, who was born in the village.

"It's all the same. At that time, we were all distributed tickets. I only gave it a little in a year. Is that possible?"

"Who said no, how difficult was at that time? Even the Prime Minister's shirt was discounted and patched, so he couldn't bear to change it. Finally, he had no choice but to change it with a new collar. It looked like it was new, but in fact it was patched. "**'s words reminded young people of the text when they were young.

It’s really impossible to imagine that a prime minister of a big country can’t afford to wear a new shirt! But the real situation should be that. How many rural people born in the early 1980s have never worn patched clothes or patched socks?

"I remember when I was a child, I wore patched clothes and patched socks when I went to elementary school! It seemed like our classmates were like that at that time. The only new clothes or those without patches could only be worn during the Chinese New Year." Wang Yong said with emotion.

"You should have been much better at that time, so you caught up with the tail of ticket supply, which was much better than before. We would have to ask for tickets for everything, from a box of hot materials to a "three big pieces", sewing machines, bicycles, and watches. There is no one who doesn't want tickets?"

"Even if you need a ticket to buy hot materials?"|

"That's right, I remember when I first came to the city to work, the school gave me benefits and gave me two kilograms of fish tickets. I happily went to the sideline food store after school. At that time, I thought about buying the fish and taking it back for your grandma and the others to improve it." Liu Huilan stopped here.

Yuanyuan was listening with relish and asked, "Then what fish did you buy for my grandma and the others?"

Wang Yong found that several elders smiled bitterly when they heard Yuanyuan's words. What's going on? You know, the Harbor City is a coastal tourist city. Can you still not buy fish by the beach?

Liu Huilan continued, "I stood far away when I saw a crowded crowd at the store. When I inquired, I said that a batch of frozen silver carp and hairtail were newly arrived. I was so happy at that time! But when I was about to line up, I saw someone who directly picked up the scale and turned around and left."

"No, right? It's really sold out?" Wang Yong was really shocked. Did people at that time love to eat fish so much?

"Isn't it? The two pounds of fish tickets were in my hands for more than half a year before they were replaced with fish."

"Why is this happening? Aren't we relying on the sea? Why are we still short of fish for food?" Yuanyuan asked in confusion.

"Do you still need tickets for fish? Just find a ditch to catch it?" Wang Yong has grown up in a place with mountains and water in Banshan Village since he was a child, so he has always had no shortage of fish.

Yuanyuan’s father explained: “There will be nothing. Although we are near the sea, there are many more opportunities to eat fish than inland areas. But at that time it was a planned economy, and everything was uniformly allocated by the state. It is not that the more things you have here will be left to you.”

"Yes, that's it. For example, when fishermen catch fish, they don't just throw them into the market and sell them directly. They have to be uniformly handed over to the market, and then a large part will be transported to various places according to the plan. At that time, they were all concerned about the pellets being returned to the warehouse, which eventually led to the phenomenon of fish producing places without fish eating." **'s explanation appropriately illustrates this very common phenomenon in society at that time.

"I remember during the Chinese New Year, in order to buy some melons and peanuts, I ran to the side dish restaurant before 12 o'clock the night before, and I had not taken the first place. I had already photographed dozens of them before, and the earliest one came after work." Yuanyuan's father said slowly.

"I remember it was the Spring Festival in the 60s. The chairman invited a group of actors who had just finished the show at the party to have dinner. Do you know what they were eating?" Erye asked as he looked at Wang Yong and Yuanyuan.

"It's a state banquet, what do you need to ask?" Wang Yong seemed to be very clear.

"Eat meat. It's not easy to have a good meal of meat at that time." The uncle also said with interest.

"I didn't expect to eat buns! One table, one basin of big buns, one basin of soup." ** didn't let the second master keep insincere and directly told me in one sentence.

"No, right? The Chairman invites everyone to eat buns when treating him? This is a state banquet!" The uncle's eyes widened, looking like he would never believe it.

"What's the matter? During the three-year disaster, I broke up with the Soviet Union and had to pay back the debt. The Chairman and the Prime Minister had not eaten meat for more than half a year." ** As a staff member around the Prime Minister, he had a very say in this matter.

"Hey! Those years were so hard! People across the country were not full. The leaves and bark of the entire capital were almost eaten up. Even people starved to death often happened. This was still in the capital. I don't know what happened in other remote and difficult provinces!" **After saying this, everyone didn't say anything for a long time.

Wang Yong looked at the table in front of him and felt that he was so extravagant. Especially when he saw that the one in his bowl had eaten half of his food and was about to throw it to the half bowl of meat slices as big as 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 ** can, has difficulty understanding how this happens.

"Haha, when you were born, our life was already very good. Not to mention how good you eat, at least everyone can have enough food." Tian Yufan sighed and said.

The uncle also said excitedly: "You don't know! The first year of dividing the fields to the household, after the grain was collected, in addition to the public grain given to the country, we have so many wheat and corn for the first time in our family. Dajiang and I secretly put a bag of corn in our pockets at night, and then chewed it! That smells so fragrant!"

"Yes! That year, my family killed the big fat pigs raised at home during the Chinese New Year. They left more than a dozen kilograms of meat and a big pig head. That day, my mother cooked the pig head, and our family of seven chewed the big pig head cleanly. I never thought that we could eat meat in one meal, and the meat was so fragrant!" The aunt said this and swallowed her saliva.

"Yeah, yes. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, our day was better and better. Our land was divided into 83 and 84 years. Since then, we have never heard of anyone who is still hungry in our village." The uncle added.

"We are too. After the country's reform and opening up, life is getting better and better. Especially after entering the new century, let's look at the children today. A can of milk powder is hundreds, a small piece of clothing is tens, or even hundreds. The various toys make me dazzled." Liu Huilan said with a smile.

"That's not the case. Just say that the mobile phone Qianqian bought for me costs several thousand yuan. In the past, our monthly salary was only fifty yuan. I can't afford such a thing for several years." ** took out the mobile phone that Wang Qian bought and showed it.

"I used to be crazy about wanting to eat meat. Now I'm tired of eating meat. I've changed to eating vegetables, but I'm still wild vegetables!"

"That's right now, what are green, pollution-free, and organic vegetables that are much more expensive than meat. What's more, Wang Yong made these super vegetables. I heard that people in the city now can't buy them even if they pay a thousand yuan per pound?" Liu Huilan suddenly became excited when she said this.

"The children nowadays are so blessed!" The second master sighed. He never thought that he would be tired of eating one day. His current life has never dreamed of it. (To be continued.)
