As a person born in the 1980s, my family was not wealthy when I was a child. My impression is that there are almost no snacks at home. The happiest thing at that time was celebrating the New Year. Because I visit relatives and friends during the New Year, others will bring some gifts to my home, such as biscuits and cans. Occasionally, adults would open a pack of biscuits or a bottle of canned food for us to eat, but most of the time, these gifts would be transferred to other relatives' homes. Watching the delicious food slip away from my eyes, I still remember that feeling of longing to this day.
Let’s take a look at the snacks that people born in the 1980s remember and see if there are any you like.
A must-buy series for rural areas, rice popcorn and popcorn
I remember when I was a child, a master who made rice popcorn and popcorn would occasionally come to the village, and then each family would bring their own rice to the site and ask the master to help make it. Just the processing fee. For children, the process of making popcorn is mysterious and scary, because the sound is really loud, like an explosion, which scares the children and covers their ears.
The process of making rice popsicles is much gentler. The children can help to pack the rice popsicles while carrying the bag, and they can eat fresh, hot and sweet rice popsicles for the first time.
Visiting Relatives and Friends series, canned yellow peach, canned orange , Jiuzhou strange biscuits
When I was a child after 80, I visited relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year. There were not so many dazzling gifts as now, only simple cans and biscuits. I was impressed. The ones we saw the most were canned yellow peaches, canned oranges, and Jiuzhou Biscuits. I really wanted to eat canned food at that time. The adults would occasionally open a can for us to eat, pour it into a bowl, and eat it with chopsticks. It's sweet and soft, not to mention how happy it is. But it doesn’t happen often, because adults take these cans to visit relatives.
The same goes for this biscuit. I don’t eat it only a few times throughout the year. Every time I open a pack of biscuits, I eat a few pieces and count again and again how many are left.
Homemade series, fried Bean folded , fried dumplings
They all say that the older generation is better at cooking than us, but they are forced to do nothing. There are no snacks to eat, and the children are greedy. What can I do? You can only do it yourself. What my family often makes is the following two kinds of fried bean folds. During the harvest season of soybeans and mung beans, the family will soak some, then mix them with rice and grind them into a paste, then fry them over low heat, let them cool slightly, roll them up, and cut them with a knife. It is made into silk and finally dried in the sun. In fact, this bean paste is like noodles and can also be cooked and eaten. Occasionally, adults will fry it and sprinkle it with a little salt or Nande seasoning, and it becomes a snack that children like to eat.
To make fried dumplings, mix the dough first, season with sugar or salt in the middle, roll the dough into a large thin pancake with a rolling pin, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and then change it to 10 cm wide and 20 cm long. rectangular dough. Leave 1 cm on each end of the dough, make 3 cuts in the middle, pass one end through the middle of the cut, and make dumpling dough in turn, then fry it in a pan, and it will become a favorite snack for children. .
A must-buy series at the school canteen, including ice packs, Tang Monk meat, and watermelon candy
Did you have pocket money when you were a child? Occasionally there is a dime bar, what can I buy? I can only buy these gadgets. A piece of watermelon bubble gum can be eaten repeatedly for a long time.
Summer ice packs cost a dime and are sweet. Especially the ones that freeze into ice lumps and can be chewed for a long time.
There is also this kind of Tang Monk Pork. Some people say it is spicy strips, but I tasted like this kind of sour plum.
The most luxurious thing is to buy a pack of Beijing instant noodles , smash it into pieces without opening the package, mix it with seasoning packets, and eat it by the handful.
Now I have grown up and made my own money, but most of the snack shops here are no longer available. Although the snack categories are complicated and the packaging is particularly exquisite, the snacks in my memory can be bought occasionally. I will still buy it and eat it.
