What did you eat there during the Chinese New Year in the countryside in the 80s?

It's a good meal to have dumplings there, and it's really not easy for a family to sit together and make dumplings, especially dumplings with pork filling.

In the 80s, it was white steamed bread, and it is now handmade steamed bread. But in the past, all I ate were cornmeal steamed buns and coarse grain steamed buns, so white steamed buns are not usually eaten, and they can only be eaten during the New Year.

From the 60s to the 70s of the last century, the Spring Festival in the countryside, we eat "six **", meaning "six six Shun", the plate is relatively large, a plate is now 4 dishes, my family is the ancestral blue and white carp plate, and the treasure in the TV treasure blue and white kiln ** is about the same. At that time, my family of nine people ate, and 6 dishes were enough for the New Year. At that time, a plate of braised pork, a plate of braised fish, a plate of Anqing specialty dish "mountain flour balls", a plate of stir-fried (fried vermicelli with dried seeds), a plate of braised chicken nuggets (goose, duck pieces), and a plate of other dishes, in short, just make up enough "six **".

You can eat it openly during the New Year, and you won't be scolded by adults, and no one will stop you. In the 60-70s of the last century, there was a shortage of materials, especially in rural areas, it was difficult to see meat at ordinary times, meat to be based on tickets, and other non-staple foods to be based on tickets. Because of the auspiciousness of the New Year, you can't scold and beat people, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, adults endure, when eating reunion dinner, children gobble up, adults see only kindness and smile to remind them, eat less, don't hurt the stomach.

I remember one year on Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner, I ate 6 pieces of braised pork, and it was a large piece, one piece was one or two, I still wanted to eat again, and then use chopsticks to clamp, but my mother wanted to stop, afraid that I had indigestion, my father said, usually let the children see the meat once, the New Year will be open to them to eat, anyway, this year's New Year's bacon marinated 50 pounds, more sufficient. But my mother still persuaded me to eat again tomorrow, eat less and eat more often.

In the mid-70s of the last century, we are popular here to eat ten dishes for the New Year, meaning "perfect", the plate is relatively small, you can also burn hot pot, mix and match vegetables and bacon in the vegetable garden, fish a plate of pickled preserved fish, and then burn a plate of fresh fish, in addition to stewed chicken, eggs, peanuts, beef, mutton and offal, etc., the dishes are more abundant, the New Year needs to drink, the whole family drinks in the 60-70s of the last century, just children drink red wine, and drink less, it is also symbolic to drink a little, It's rare to get drunk, but I get dizzy after drinking every Chinese New Year's Eve, and I talk more than usual, and I speak with a little drunkenness. In the past, the whole family of the southerners sat around the table of the Eight Immortals of Tangxuan, moving the chopsticks together, very particular, not a person did not go to the table, no one could move the chopsticks first, put down the chopsticks first, eat at the same time, and at the same time put down the chopsticks to disperse, the person who finished eating first could not leave the table, and the person who had to wait for the last person to finish eating put down the chopsticks and bowls. Now during the Chinese New Year, we still eat "ten dishes", chicken, duck and goose, pig, beef and mutton, sausages, stir-fried, two hot pots, fat sausages, pork belly and so on.

The Chinese New Year's Eve meal is becoming more and more sumptuous and exquisite, and the children are no longer gobbling up and gluttonous.

We eat relatively simple there, and there is not much meat, so we may use a small amount of meat to make meatballs, or make braised pork, and then make some home-cooked side dishes, such as fried eggplant, fried greens, etc.

In the sixties and seventies of the last century, that is, when our parents were born, there was a shortage of materials in that era, and it was very good to be able to eat some noodles and white steamed buns during the Spring Festival, and if you could eat a meal of meat-filled dumplings, it would be delicious.

In the sixties and seventies of the last century, we also ate dumplings during the Spring Festival, only dumplings, but a little meat was put in the dumpling filling. Dumpling wrappers are made with white flour and sweet potato noodles. Make dumpling wrappers. I can't afford to eat white flour alone.

At that time, people were most looking forward to the New Year, roast chicken and braised fish were excellent dishes, at that time I felt that everything was very real, four cents can buy moon cakes, sweet potato noodles and wotou, cornmeal wotou, dumplings, rice with water, millet porridge, noodles, potatoes, cabbage.

In the 80s, we ate dumplings, rice, and rice cakes.
