    In the 70s, money was worth a lot of money, but you didn't have it for nothing. Real gold** has always been valuable, do you?

    At that time, the city was okay, at least everyone had a job, and a salary of thirty or forty yuan a month was paid. And where do the rural people get the money, they don't let you do business, they don't let you work, they can only tie you to the production team to farm and earn work. And the production team has no sideline work to make money, and when it comes to the end of the year, a job is not worth a dime or two.

    At that time, it was 1 billion people and 800 million peasants, and the peasants were so poor that they were not equivalent to the whole country being poor?

    You ask five or six people how much a meal costs, and you don't know if you're talking about eating at home or in a restaurant. At that time, the rural people ate a lot of food and ate a lot. We mainly eat sweet potato noodle pancakes here, and one person has to eat more than one pound of pancakes from sweet potato noodle stalls for one meal.

    At that time, dried sweet potatoes were 8 cents a catty, and five or six people ate only five cents a meal. Vegetables are generally seasonal vegetables such as cabbage, radish, spinach, etc., which lack oil and water, and are not worth much. In winter, when there is a shortage of greens, self-submerged radish pickles and homemade miso are used for cooking.

    After all the calculations, a family of five or six people in the countryside will only pay seven or eight cents for a meal.

    If you want to talk about how much it cost to eat a meal for five or six people in a restaurant in the 70s, I am afraid that people living in the countryside can rarely answer. Most people probably haven't been in a hotel in their entire lives. A large commune of 40,000 or 50,000 people has only one hotel, called the Hongqi Hotel, which is a collective hotel run by the commune.

    When I was young, I went in once. It was my aunt who went to the commune to register her marriage, and I was greedy to follow. More than ten kilometers of road are walked, and there are no bicycles.

    After finishing the errand, my uncle invited a meal at the restaurant. A table of people asked for six dishes and ate white flour steamed buns. It was the first time I ate delicious food at a restaurant, so I was very impressed.

    I don't have an impression of how much it will cost. At that time, pork was seven or eight cents a catty, and wheat was a dime of five or sixty-one catties. I think 10 yuan is enough for this table.

    But it's still that sentence, the farmer's ten yuan comes from? The production team has no money to pay, and they have no food to sell. At that time, there were other farmers who came to Qianmen, please tell me.

    One dollar can buy nearly two catties of pork, you can buy two and a half catties of peanut oil, one dollar is equivalent to two people a week's vegetable money, in the 60s, if you have a dollar, then we can buy things very proudly after coming to the vegetable market.

    In the 60s, if someone held a wedding banquet at home, then the relatives who usually went to the wedding banquet would have about 6 or 8 cents for the money, and few people could give a dollar.

    At that time, it was a lot of money for many people to be able to own a dollar, but you must know that the level of productivity at that time was still relatively low, so a dollar was a huge amount of money for most people. Additional Information:

    In 1960, people's average annual salary was about 560 yuan, and the average monthly salary was about 40 yuan, which means that one dollar is equivalent to your daily income.

    And you must know that this is only the average income, if it is some rural people, the income will be even lower, and the daily income of rural people may only be a few cents, so for most rural people, a dollar is already a very large amount of money, and they are usually reluctant to spend a dollar at one time.

    In the 60s of the 20th century, one yuan could still buy a lot of things. For example, one yuan can buy nearly two pounds of pork and two and a half pounds of peanut oil. One dollar is equivalent to a week's worth of food for two people.

    One yuan was the "half-sized child" who was growing up at that time, and the food for a week was in Shanghai in the sixties of the last century, when the bride price for young men and women to marry was usually only 4 yuan.

    In the 60s, a yuan coin could buy ten catties of hard rice, and buy about twelve catties of the best tomatoes In 1960, Henan was in the midst of a great famine, and in the case of extreme food shortage in the affected areas, a pound of high-grade white flour was 2 cents 6, ordinary flour was 1 pound 7, and the lowest grade of bran bran flour was less than 1 cent a pound. At that time, one dollar was enough to buy 10 catties of "C-grade" raw food, enough for a family of three to hold on for a week with wild vegetables. At that time, pork was 8 cents a catty, and high-quality peanut oil was 6 cents a catty.

    In terms of the purchase rate of agricultural productivity, 1 yuan at that time was equivalent to 140 yuan now.

    The purchasing power of a dollar for education services is equivalent to 300 times that of today.

    In the 60s of the 20th century, one yuan could be bought: 1 catty of 7 taels of pork, 2 catties of mutton, 8 catties of rice, 6 catties of flour, 10 catties of corn, 1 catty of 7 taels of eggs, 7 feet of plain cloth, 4 feet of twill, 50 boxes of matches, etc.

    In the 60s of the 20th century, the monthly salary of ordinary workers in China was about 30 yuan to 50 yuan, and the salary of apprentices was less than half, about 10 to 20 yuan. At that time, the price was not high, and the price of baked cakes and fritters was 3 cents, and the popsicle was 4 cents.

    In the early sixties, China's productive forces were backward and commodities were extremely scarce. In order to ensure the balance between supply and demand, the state implements a plan for daily necessities such as food, clothing and other necessities for urban and rural residents, and issues special purchase vouchers such as food stamps and cloth stamps according to the population. When you buy something, you must buy it in the quantity on the ticket.

    In response to this problem, the vertical bridge position netizens are very valuable, in the 70s, five or six people needed to eat a meal out of the cost of a few dollars or even a few cents. After all, in those days, a house was worth thousands of yuan, and a 10,000-yuan household could even be called a very rich and large sum.

    In the 70s, more than 20 years have passed since the liberation and founding of our country. At that time, there was a scarcity of materials, the people's living standards were generally not high, and wages were generally low. For an ordinary worker in a factory with relatively good efficiency, the monthly income is only a few dozen yuan.

    It may sound outrageous now, but at that time, a few dozen yuan was enough for a large family to live for a month. Not only are salaries low, but prices are also very low, and you can buy high-level foods such as rice and pork for a few cents. And at that time, people's living needs were not so sleepy and high, everyone ate very ordinary, dressed very plainly, and opposed extravagance and waste, even if they went out to eat, it was impossible to be like now, chicken, duck, fish, meat, mountains and seas have everything.

    According to this calculation, five or six people outside can basically eat a very rich meal for a few dollars.

    However, with the reform and opening up, China's economy and market have also developed rapidly. The people's living standards, salary levels and other aspects have been greatly improved. And under the influence of global economy** and inflation, people in the 21st century have ridiculed that money is no longer money, and it will no longer be possible to buy a house for a few thousand yuan and a bunch of food for a few cents like in the 70s.

    It can be seen that the influence of money is far less than in the 70s of the last century.

    In short, almost 50 years have passed since the 70s, and the country and the people have taken a big step forward in all aspects. Even if we live in the current materialistic era, people should not forget their original intentions and learn from the good virtues of simplicity and frugality of their ancestors.

    One yuan is the food money for two "half-sized children" who are growing up at that time, and the amount of food is very large. According to the research of writer Chen Yu, it was also in Shanghai in the 60s of the last century, when the bride price for young men and women to marry was usually only 4 yuan. To attend a wedding banquet in the countryside, eat a "semi-meat vegetarian banquet" with cabbage and pork.

    "Gift money" is often four or five cents, and those who can get one or two yuan of gift money are local rich people. A dollar is a lot of weight on such occasions.

    And if you look at the price level at that time, you can know how important a dollar was: in Zhengzhou in 1961, fine powder was two cents and sixty-one catties, standard powder was one cent and seventy-one catties, milled rice was two cents and one catty, millet was one dime and one catty, and peanut oil.

    One pound of six cents and nine, and pork one pound of eight cents and four.

    In Tianjin in 1961, beef was seven cents a catty, and mutton was seven cents and sixty-one catties. In Zhengzhou in 1965, cucumbers cost about four cents per catty, green onions cost six and a half cents per catty, and in Tianjin in 1964, crucian carp cost four cents per catty, large white rice shrimp cost five cents and two cents per catty, and sea crabs.

    One pound, three cents and five.

    For one dollar, for us nowadays, we can't even buy a good ice cream. However, in the 60s, it was possible to buy a lot of things.

    1 coin is equal to 10 jiao, and 10 jiao is equal to 100 cents. 100 points can buy 50 oil cakes, and you can buy more than 1 pound of pork.

    years of spending power

    In the 60s, you needed a meat ticket to buy pork, and you could buy a pound of pork with a meat ticket plus eight cents.

    Vegetables such as greens and radishes are even cheaper, only one to three cents. One dollar buys enough vegetables for a week.

    The popsicles that children like to eat are only three cents, and one dollar can buy thirty-three popsicles, think about how happy!

    When relatives go to the New Year, the elders give New Year's money, and it is all one or two cents, and those who give one dollar are all large sums.

    In the sixties, for a thrifty family, one dollar was enough for two days' food.

    At that time, there was 10,000 yuan, that is, 10,000 yuan, a monopoly!

    years of living standards

    How much a dollar is worth depends on the standard of living of people at that time.

    The 60s were a period of social change, and the wages of ordinary workers were probably between thirty and fifty, and the wages of apprentices were even lower, less than twenty yuan.

    With today's standard of living, twenty yuan may be just the money for a breakfast. But in those days, twenty yuan was already a considerable income, which could provide for the family's food and drink.

    Grandma came from that era, and what she said most was not money, but food stamps, pastry stamps, etc. There are many things that can be exchanged for food stamps. Instead, money is in a subsidiary position.

    However, she often sighs that her current life is really happy, she can eat white and soft steamed buns, and drink sweet and delicious porridge. In this way, the value of money lies in making people happy.

    Look at the past and the present, and remember the bitter and sweet. If we look at our life in the 60s and then look at our lives now, we should really thank the wise leadership of the Communist Party of China. In the 60s, one dollar could sustain a family for a day or two, but now, children need three or five yuan to buy ice cream.

    Children's concept of money may be a piece of software in their mobile phones, as long as they swipe it, the money will be there. Think about it this way, it's still solid to hold the banknotes!
