Most of them are engaged in food business, such as baking a cake, making a candied haws, and a series of snacks that children like to eat, such as popcorn and baked sweet potatoes. With spare money and a market, everyone will start to improve their food. However, at that time, after all, it was not as developed as it is now. Some vegetables that were out of season could not be eaten. The old people still kept some habits of digging wild vegetables to eat in the mountains, so the home cooking on the table was nothing more than these.
For example, Toona sinensis, some old people will pick Toona sinensis in season and come back to fry it, or make soup. Frying is rarely done because it wastes oil. When you can't finish eating Toona sinensis, the old man will pickle it. When pickled, take it out in the morning and eat it with rice porridge, not to mention how beautiful it is. Similarly, the eggs laid by our own local ducks will also be preserved. It is also beautiful to take out salted duck eggs or salted eggs when eating.
As for all kinds of vegetables, Chinese cabbage is the most eaten. Tomatoes, cucumbers and eggplant are also essential, but eggplant uses too much oil, so many old people will choose to steam it and then serve it with garlic, which is also a delicious choice. Eating meat at that time was not as easy as in earlier years, but it was impossible to eat meat every day. So children are looking forward to Chinese New Year, holidays and birthdays, so that they can have oily meat to eat. At that time, people were keen on that kind of fat meat, not the lean meat that people prefer now.
