Hello, China was 1978 65438+ February, and the reform and opening up was decided after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee. Before that, it was a collective economy, and all purchases depended on bills, such as meat tickets, cloth tickets and food stamps for rice. Therefore, there is no way to calculate what you can buy with one yuan before, and you can only calculate it according to one yuan after the reform and opening up.

Details are as follows:

What can a dollar do?

Thirty years ago, 1 yuan could be bought in towns and villages at the same time: 2 kg of rice (0.23 yuan), 3 pieces of meat (0. 18 yuan), 2 kg of tomatoes (0.04 yuan), 3 eggs (0. 15 yuan) and 1 yuan. ?

What can these things do? Can cook 6 dishes 1 soup. That is, fried meat with beans, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, tomato and egg soup, fried cabbage with vegetarian dishes, fried radish with vegetarian dishes, fried shredded potatoes with vegetarian dishes, and fried beans with vegetarian dishes. Basically enough for six people to eat and drink (except in the case of "drunkards").

Thirty years ago, 1 yuan could also pay a child's tuition and fees for 0.6 semester (one semester 1.6 yuan), treat a cold and fever (including injections), buy 20 ice creams, buy 7 kg of rice, 50 kg of tomatoes, 20 kg of Chinese cabbage and 20 eggs at a time, go to the cinema five times and take the bus 20 times.

It is estimated that many people have never seen the previous passbook, so I attached it.
