What could 10 yuan eat in restaurants in the 1970s?

During the Spring Festival, everyone prepares all kinds of things in advance, and prepares a lot of things to visit relatives and friends after the Spring Festival, but in the face of rising prices, it is inevitable that some people are afraid of committing crimes. In the communication with the older generation, we will certainly hear something about the last century. The last century was not so open and rich, but the cost of living was definitely much lower.

To be fair, in the 1970s? Restaurant? This concept is far from popular now. There can't be restaurants everywhere in the city, but there may be only one restaurant in every town in a town. In this case, ordinary people in the 1970s seldom went to restaurants to eat. At that time, the income of China residents was generally low. For example, farmers may only earn a few dollars a month, while urban workers may earn a little more. Teachers' income was even more important in those days. One month's salary, 30 yuan. An old mechanic who is proficient in high technology can get a high salary by adding various subsidies to 50 yuan every month, and he can look for it everywhere. Jobs like teaching, especially female teachers, are well paid, but expensive.

At that time, in addition to the necessary expenses of family life, there were sometimes unexpected extra expenses. Parents love their children or parents, such as buying some, eating some and wearing some. These things are naturally understandable and normal now, but what about in the 1970s? Reckless This practice will immediately lead to a deficit for the month. In order to survive this month, your family had to borrow money from colleagues and friends. This shows that most ordinary families did not have a good ability to resist risks at that time. Some important events have happened between family members, and the balance of payments will be out of balance immediately. Ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to eat out, so the mainstream catering consumer groups at that time were very fixed.

The price of each hotel varies greatly according to the region, reputation, business nature and luxury. As far as most restaurants are concerned, snacks are cheaper, and a big meal, especially in famous restaurants, may be expensive. At that time, the restaurants were all state-owned and the prices were reasonable, but they didn't lose money. In the 1970s, the price of strong Maotai was about one bottle in 8 yuan. The prices of famous wines in Fenjiu, Zhuyeqing and other regions are around 3 yuan. Even at this price, ordinary people are not easy to drink. It is a big item bought at home. Theoretically, ordinary cigarettes in all major regions cost 40 cents a pack, and one is 4 yuan money. You might as well measure the value of 10 yuan from the price of tobacco and alcohol, which will be more intuitive.
