Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

As for other meats, such as beef at 0.1 yuan per catty and buffalo meat at 0.08 yuan per catty, even though they are not very expensive, they are reluctant to buy them.

As for eggs, although they are cheap, 0.1 yuan for ten eggs, don’t we raise chickens at home?

Not only are you reluctant to eat them, but you also take the eggs you have saved at home out to sell.

How is it possible to have one egg per person every day?

Even if the kids at home want to eat eggs, they have to eat one every few days.

It is absolutely impossible to eat one egg a day. As for the girl, there is no need to think about it. She can only have eggs when she is sick. How can she eat eggs at other times?

But not every household can afford eggs every day, let alone meat.

No matter how rich you are, if you want to eat some meat you have to grab it early, right?

Even though everyone doesn't have much money, there are still many people who can afford to eat meat. If they want to get some good meat, don't they have to rob?

Don’t you see that they live in the same yard? Even if their two families have high salaries, don’t they only eat meat twice a month?

As for the fish, I didn't spend a penny, it's just that I have better skills.

This means that you don’t know what the other person is thinking. If you knew, you would definitely tell the other person.

It’s not that we only eat meat twice a month, but most of the meat is made into bacon, salted meat, or smoked meat.

As for ordinary days, it is not only eaten on Sundays, but also at other times.

The only difference is that this meat dish is brought back from the company canteen, so there is no need to cook it. Just heat it up in the pot after you get it back.

And because we cook indoors in the winter, the bacon we made in the past has been taken out little by little and smoked on the coal stove so that it can be stored for a longer period of time.

In addition, there is space, so storing it for ten to twenty years, let alone one or two years, is not a problem.

As for those pickled fish, that goes without saying.

But the river freezes in the winter, so I have to be very careful when I go fishing there every Sunday.

After all, it has not been long since winter began, and the ice on the water is not very thick, so it is better to be careful.

If I wasn't pregnant, I would have taken advantage of the winter, especially around the Chinese New Year, to make some money.

But it’s totally impossible now, even last year there was no such opportunity.

Fortunately, I am not really short of money, so there is no need to take risks.

Instead, we will wait until the ice on the river becomes thicker and then ask the child's father, Comrade Guo Huaian, to go to the river to dig a hole and bring back some fish.

One can be kept for eating in winter, and the rest can be made into cured fish, smoked fish or salted fish.

Anyway, since the beginning of winter, until the beginning of summer next year, you can use coal briquettes stoves in the house.

Since it can be used for a long time, how can we use it unreasonably?

The only thing is that it’s not as good as cooking in the kitchen, where the results are better.

Because of buying meat or other things from time to time, the two of them only have 40 yuan left from their monthly salary.

Even though it's only 40 yuan, it's much higher than an ordinary person's monthly salary.

It’s because prices are low in this era. If I didn’t know that I would need tickets to buy things later, there would be no need to buy so many things and put them there.

Another thing is, although people say that the difficult times started in 58, when you actually lived in that era, you realized that it was not the case. You can see it in the newspapers.

This year, wheat rust has been induced on a large scale, resulting in a total wheat harvest failure. This alone shows that grain production is decreasing.

Moreover, Beijing is located in the north, and northerners are accustomed to eating pasta, so don’t we have to prepare it in advance?

Even though we read in the newspapers that the country's grain production this year has increased significantly compared to previous years, to be honest, I still think it is kinder to stock up more food at home.

The child’s father is talking about this matter right there.

“Wife, there are more and more food in our cupboards, and we can’t put it away. You said it would be fine if no one came over.

If you give birth to a child in the future, it is impossible that no one will come to visit you.

If Aunt Zhang was the only one here, then it wouldn't be a big deal, right?

But if other people really come over, we can't keep the cabinets locked until they dig, right?

Besides, if there are people at home, locking the cabinet will make others suspicious.

This cabinet is not locked, maybe it’s okay for the adults?

What if the child opens it without paying attention? "

"You know what? I really haven't thought of this. Do you have any solution?"

"It's not like there is no solution, I'm just worried it might not be appropriate?"

“What method?

Can you tell me first?"

"Here's the thing. I heard some people say that the company might distribute housing by the end of next year, or the beginning of the year after!"

"Is this a good thing?

But what does this have to do with the method you mentioned? "

"I didn't expect it to be so soon, but now that the news has been revealed, I think it won't be too far off."

"Yes, there is no way this kind of thing would not have been rumored at all. Is there anything else?"

“As for other things, I was originally thinking about getting a house when it’s my turn, but why do I have to wait a few more years?

But now it seems that it shouldn't be too far. If it's not far, then I have to change my original idea of ​​digging a cellar in this house, right?"

"cellar?

You mean in the house we live in now?

Is this possible?

“If you live here for a long time, it’s always better to have a cellar in the house, but since it’s not long, it’s not worth it!

Speaking of which, before moving again, we must fill up the cellar. We can’t just leave it there, right?”

"Yeah, so how do you plan to change it?"

"Do you think I should dig a hole and hide most of our things in it?"

"Is this possible?

How big do you plan to dig?"

"Not big. Just look at this small cupboard in our house. How about this size?"

“If it’s this big, then it’s possible!

But what if we want to move away from here?

With so many things, to be honest, it would still be easy for people to find them when we move them upstairs, right?"

“That’s nothing?

At that time, we can hide things in dried wild vegetables or in quilts. There is always a way!

And I have an idea, you might as well listen carefully."

"you say?"

"If possible, if you think we can move upstairs, why don't we live on the first floor?"

"First floor?"

"Yes, this way, it should be easier to hide things at home."

"Aren't you afraid that you might be discovered by others if you live on the first floor?"

"But?"

“But if you think about it carefully, it’s really hard to do these things if you live upstairs, and it’s more convenient to live on the first floor.
