Answer: Speaking of? What do Chinese people eat? In the 1980s, Yao Ming, the post-80s chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, must have unforgettable memories.

In 1984, the future NBA superstar was a 4-year-old kid.

Great appetite: Eat two eggs and drink two bottles of milk every day, and don't eat fish. You should be slightly larger, and your food intake will increase as fast as the size of your meal. You can eat four large steaks in one meal.

Although in Yao Ming's own words, "Our family is not poor," so much food still makes Yao Ming's parents worry every day.

Regarding this "food problem", the district sports school later gave Yao Ming a "nutritional subsidy" of 100 yuan a month.

Years later, Yao Ming said: When I was a child, the need for nutrition even became a burden on my family. (Picture from My World, My Dream, Yao Ming) You can see that even in the 1980s

In Shanghai, working-class families want to get some nutrition, but their wallets are not rich.

Of course, some of the first wealthy cities tend to be "nutritional". In 1986, Guangzhou's per capita consumption of pork was 26 kilograms, vegetable oil 6.6 kilograms, and beef and mutton 4.08 kilograms.

At that time, Guangzhou citizens had increasingly higher requirements for "food".

For example, during the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1986, the "Qingping chicken" known for its high quality in the Guangzhou market rose to 20 yuan per kilogram, but it still caught fire during the festival, with 1,700 chickens sold every day.

"High-quality multi-nutrient rice" worth 2 yuan per kilogram, 1,800 tons were sold in September... This "nutritional level" may not seem like much today, but it was outstanding at the time: In 1986, every citizen in Guangzhou

The basic monthly income is 109 yuan, while in the same year, the average monthly income of urban residents nationwide was only 76 yuan.

Guangzhou citizens consume 8 kilograms more pork, 1 kilogram more beef and mutton, and 9 kilograms more poultry than the national average every month.

The famous movie star Yang Zaibao came to Guangzhou in 1987 to experience life. He visited some workers' families in Guangzhou and said from the bottom of his heart, "Compared with other places, it's like celebrating New Year every day."

?Food standards?are less stringent.

In a 2008 interview with Beijing Times, Beijing resident Chen Lin recalled family dinners in 1980, when the family lived on less than a dollar a day and ate pork and eggs twice a week.

This was considered "high standard food" in Beijing at the time. In 1981, the scholar badge was admitted to the university. At that time, in the university cafeteria, vegetarian dishes cost more than 20 cents a dish, some meat cost 30 cents, and stewed pork chops cost 40 cents.

cents.

It seemed cheap, but at that time the People's Bank of China only gave employees a monthly salary of 46 yuan.

Got some meat on your bones?

It's not easy.

In other cities across the country, the writer Fish in the Foreign Novel "Lost in the Sun" this sentence "Lunch, white noodles and big chunks of cabbage" is a true portrayal of many family dinner tables.

On November 12, 1987, mainland China opened its first KFC restaurant in Qianmen.

The per capita income in Beijing is about 89 yuan, and a piece of ordinary chicken at KFC costs 2.5 yuan, which is almost half the salary of Beijingers.

But even so, on the store's opening day, the 500 seats were instantly full, and many citizens queued outside in the snow for two hours to get a seat.

In the following years, KFC was often the first choice for weddings in Beijing.

After a lively wedding banquet, even the KFC packaging boxes were taken home by the newlyweds, becoming a "wedding anniversary" for many families in Beijing. Go to the Economic Observer, and then many families save a month's income to try the food.

KFC?, such a price is naturally of great significance.

Compared with "eating meat", another "meat-eating problem" in China in the 1980s was "unpalatable vegetables".

Due to geographical and seasonal restrictions, even in Beijing, the supply of vegetables in winter is still small.

In an interview with Beijing Times magazine in 2008, Beijing resident Chen Lin said that the dining table scene at that time was winter in Beijing. The main characters on the dining table were always Chinese cabbage, potatoes, radishes and sweet potatoes. In winter, it also spread

Arrived in the northern countryside.

What is the childhood memory of those born in the 1980s?

For example, "Childhood King" Zheng Yuanjie wrote in his masterpiece "Darkroom 309" in the 1980s, "Whenever parents see their children taking a golden city to eat boiled cabbage without any complaints, they will believe that Pi

Pilu and Luxi are two golden mountains. It tells the fairy tale adventure story of Pipiluxi, and also tells the lives of many children who "eat cabbage".
