That was a thing of the past, and this is what I experienced. At that time, the rural areas were dominated by collectives, and small production teams divided labor collectively. At that time, the rural conditions were so bad that everyone went to work far away. Because the land is too far away, they bring their own dry food and have a rest after eating until they finish eating. When the farm is busy, they really don't even have time to eat. The farmers are too bitter and tired.

During busy farming, farmers bring their own dry food: pancakes, cakes, tofu', homemade pickles, salted fish, homemade bean paste and so on. It can be said that there is basically no water, because the water transported on the road will be cold, so after eating, they look for spring water to drink everywhere, and even the production team sends people to boil water.

Later, rural conditions improved. Some production teams with good conditions can cook for people, and some cook dried sweet potatoes and peanut cakes, which are delicious. When eating, they are not afraid that the rice is too hot. They ate two bowls in a row, and then they wanted to eat the pot. Some killed sheep and stewed whole sheep or bought some meat and stewed cabbage. The team changed cakes in unison. At that time, they were always full. In my memory, braised whole sheep ate big cakes, which were really delicious.

Here, there are two particularly busy seasons in a year. After "busy planting" in spring, wheat began to mow the grass to "grab the harvest" (because the weather is like "baby face" at this time. When busy, farmers generally don't go home for dinner at noon. Another busy farming season is autumn harvest and wheat sowing.

When you eat in the fields during the busy farming season, you must bring water and food. The food you bring is very delicate. Please be "full and delicious" and don't bother too much. Nothing is simpler than "salted duck eggs".

Every spring after Tomb-Sweeping Day, housewives in rural areas begin to prepare many eggs, mix them with boiled pepper water and salt, let them cool, soak them in jars and seal the jars. In this way, in the wheat harvest season, eat in Kaifeng. Farmers are busy at noon. No matter whether they go home for dinner, they use salted eggs and steamed bread to satisfy their hunger. They are delicious and fragrant, which is very popular among farmers.

However, in recent years, combine harvesters have been realized in rural areas, so farmers' friends need not be so "busy". There is no need to eat in the field. Occasionally, large contractors need employees to work in the fields and buy "steamer bags" for dinner. Modern agricultural methods have changed the previous "farm work".
