In the 1970s, a bowl of fresh meat wonton in Hangzhou was a dime (now five dollars), and a bowl of Hangzhou special noodle "Pipachuan" was a dime. At present, ordinary noodle restaurants have one bowl 14 and 15 yuan. As for 10 yuan, you can have a sumptuous wedding banquet in the 1970s. In the 1970s, you had to have food stamps to eat in restaurants. You can't buy food without food stamps. At that time, there were no self-operated hotels, all of which were state-owned hotels. You didn't have an ID card at that time. You must use your company's confirmation letter to travel and stay in a hotel. This letter is valid only if it is stamped with your official seal. 10 yuan in the 1970s is equivalent to 2000 yuan now. What do you say you can eat? In 1970s 10 yuan could buy a sheep, and now 10 yuan can buy two or two mutton! At that time, a fat pig could sell for forty or fifty dollars, but now forty or fifty dollars can't buy two pounds of pork!
At lunch, the counselor took ten of our classmates to a restaurant next to yunlong lake. This is my first time to come back to the restaurant to eat, and I am a little inexplicably excited. Not to mention the 1970s, even if it was 1988, I had a light meal at the Honglou Market in Licheng District, Jinan: a bottle of Baotuquan beer, a large plate of shredded onion with prickly skin, a medium plate of boiled peanuts, half a catty of fried cakes with shredded pork, and a bowl of egg soup, for only five yuan.

In the 1970s, a wedding banquet was held in a restaurant, with a table of wine and 25 yuan. There can be eight side dishes, eight stir-fried dishes and eight main dishes. In other words, in the 1970s, you could eat half a table for ten dollars.
