As an experienced person in that era, let me talk about my memories of going to restaurants when I was a child. When I was a child, I was not like the one I am now. In the past, I was very proud of going to a restaurant for dinner. If I went to a restaurant once, I could show off with my friends for a long time. Especially for restaurants in the 1970s, it was really a luxury.
Pork is the national unified price of 0.72 yuan, pork ribs, pork liver and pork feet are all 0.36 yuan, bones are 0.18 yuan, fish and shrimp are more than 8 cents to 10 cents, vegetables are 5 radish and 62 cents, steamed buns are indeed 2 cents per bowl, porridge and soy milk are all 2 cents a bowl, and rice is 2 cents a liang (you need a food coupon). The unit canteen vegetarian dishes cost 5 cents per serving, and the meat dishes cost 10 cents. Each wedding banquet has five levels: 12 yuan, 14 yuan, 16 yuan, 18 yuan, and 21 yuan, and all are 10 dishes and one soup (super order: braised pork , braised fish chunks , stewed chicken, Babao rice , braised pork , pork liver soup, rice noodles, green pepper stir-fried pork slices, braised crucian carp , scrambled eggs of fungus, and stir-fried shredded pork. The first 6 dishes are one soup for drinking, and the last 4 types are dishes for eating, free vegetable water and 4 plates of dessert before meals).
Later, I went to high school and my living expenses were 1 yuan per week. I often visited state-owned hotels, but two taels of food coupons were not expensive. I added 3 cents to shredded pork noodles, and a big meat pack of one tael of food coupons for 1 cent. On Saturday afternoon, a few classmates gathered the money they had not spent in a week and went to the restaurant to rub 1 cent of scrambled eggs, 1 cent of scrambled pork, 1 cent of scrambled crucian carp, 3 cents of scrambled vegetables, 3 cents of soda, and rice only needs food coupons, and go home after eating it. Miss it! In the 1970s, when I was eating in a restaurant, I could stir-fry three meat dishes for one yuan, one with meat soup. Two people were enough to drink and eat, and the wine and meals were only a few cents, but I had to add a meal ticket. I ate half a pound and half a pound of grain tickets
everyone said that young people today would not believe it. We were assigned to work on the farm 50 years ago after graduating from university. When I first arrived, I was about to catch the autumn harvest and I didn’t care about holiday Sunday. After the autumn harvest was completed in late September, the farm gave it three days off. Ten of our classmates borrowed bicycles from the farm workers and went to a small town about ten miles away from the farm to play. During lunch, we were employed in the only state-owned hotel in the town. At that time, we only received an internship salary of 46 yuan per month. 10 people ordered 14 dishes. I remember that most dishes were more than 10 cents at that time, and there were two of them with two cents. At that time, Fenjiu was 1.7 yuan per bottle, and Xifeng was 1.65 yuan. We ordered a bottle of Fenjiu and another 0.3 bottle of wine. The total cost of dishes, wine and rice was more than 4 yuan. Since I didn't know how to drink at that time, several classmates were drunk. It's a joke when I think about it now.

70 yuan is equivalent to 6,000 yuan today. Why do you say this? I started working in 1969. I have been working for a first-level worker in a heavy industrial enterprise. I live in a single dormitory and have a monthly living expense of more than 20 yuan. I save 10 yuan to remit it to my parents. I don’t smoke or drink, and live a frugal life. According to this standard, the 100,000 yuan at that time was equivalent to 1,000 yuan today.I am a experienced person, and this estimate should be relatively accurate.
How cheap was it to eat a meal in the 1970s? But in the 1970s, how many people would be willing to sacrifice teeth in the hotel ? The income is too low, so you have to make a frugal plan to eat at home. Even if you only cost one or two yuan, you can buy two kilograms of pork. How many meals do you have to eat when you buy it? At that time, a craftsman had a salary of two yuan a day, but now he was about 300 yuan. If you want to say that it was still cheap now, the marriage favor was two to three yuan, and now it was two hundred and three hundred yuan. I was talking about the general customer relationship. Of course, 1,200 yuan was a close friend and relative.
At that time, it was said that the first year of entering the factory (apprentice) was 21 yuan per month. The second year (apprentice) is RMB 23/month. The third year (apprentice) is RMB 27 per month. In the fourth year (turning to a first-level worker) 32 yuan/month. In the fifth year (second-level worker) 38.29 yuan/month. ! In the 1970s, rural people could not afford to go to restaurants.
The state-owned hotel back then was really real, the people could eat affordably, and they could eat with peace of mind. I miss the state-owned hotels back then, and the dedicated chefs and various chef staffs back then! The food in the hotel in the 1970s was not only affordable, but also a truly green and pollution-free meal, especially pure and fragrant.
