As an old man who is close to a hundred years old like me, it is difficult to see canned food when visiting relatives and friends. If I give a few cans to my relatives and friends, I'm afraid few people will accept them. They may think this man is pedantic and ignorant.
At present, there are mountains of fresh food in the supermarket, but every time I walk past the canned shelves in the supermarket, I still stop to think about it. More than 30 years ago, canned food was a good gift at that time. When asking for help and visiting patients, canned food appears in the most conspicuous place.

At that time, canned food was divided into two categories: canned fruit and canned meat. Fruits include oranges, peaches, hawthorn, grapes, coconut meat and so on. Canned meat is lunch meat and all kinds of pickled fish. I like yellow peaches best among canned fruits, but I like canned meat. As long as there is canned meat at home, I look forward to guests at home, then pry it open and pour it out as a hard dish.
The most delicious lunch meat I have ever eaten is at my former best friend's house. There is no food in the refrigerator. She cooked a pot of fresh rice porridge, opened a can of lunch meat, sliced the meat and dipped it in hot sauce. It's delicious.

Later, I traveled to Europe and America and couldn't get used to western food. Finally, I ate the hot pot and blurted out, "I wish I had lunch meat." My friend actually bought a can in a supermarket in China. What you don't like to eat at home at ordinary times has become a treasure in a foreign land. He is the man who caught a piece of lunch meat from the pot that night, and his face looks like fishing for pearls from the deep sea.
I like eating canned anchovies, and later I changed to canned hairtail. Buy a can of hairtail and take it home. Stir-fry yourself with oily wheat dishes, compared with restaurants.

Canned food became a lifesaver when the market could not be visited because of the epidemic. A small box of canned diced tomatoes in Xinjiang, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, tomato egg noodles and tomato risotto. The old girlfriend recommended the canned crispy beef from Dehe, Yunnan. This old-school Dr. Sun Yat-sen once put forward the title of "the virtue of wine and food". Shiny beef pieces can be eaten cold or fried. The old girlfriend's practice is to pour out all the canned beef and cook it. Take another pot and mix the green leaves and beef together to make a simple beef noodle.
1994 In the classic film "Chongqing Forest" directed by Wong Kar-wai, the policeman is lovelorn and eats the expired canned pineapple every day, but his girlfriend never looks back. "Fresh fresh, what fresh? It's people like you who are greedy for the new and forget the old. Hey, do you know how much effort it takes to get a can of pineapple? " He asked the salesgirl's lines and "I don't know when everything has a date, saury will expire, canned meat will expire, and even plastic wrap will expire." I'm beginning to wonder if there is anything in this world that won't expire. "These monologues make people laugh and feel sad. Canned food and life have a shelf life, and it is best to be the canned villain in Zheng's fairy tale.
Once upon a time, my family could not afford canned food. I smiled and said, "It's good to be hurt. You can eat canned food if you are injured. " At that time, the whole family was red-eyed From then on, no matter how poor the family is, the family will buy me canned food and soak it in the sweetness of canned food for 30 years. A person can moisten the gentleness of time and turn hardships into sweetness. I will continue to smile until my relatives leave and I am sad.
In fact, don't say that people who love canned food are old. Young people in my family say that when they are sick and almost have no appetite, they want to eat canned mushroom meat sauce with porridge!
