Those who went to the northeast to open up wasteland could not harvest food at that time. What do they live on?

The author took it for granted that although there was no bumper harvest in those years, the products in Northeast China were particularly rich at that time, not to mention spring, summer and autumn. Let's say winter, as long as you are a little diligent and back to mountains, rivers and lakes. It may be hard to eat, but it won't starve to death.

I'm from Heilongjiang in the northeast. I don't know about the other two provinces, but if you say that people who go to the northeast can starve to death when they come to Heilongjiang, then you underestimate Heilongjiang. Although the northeast was desolate in those days, there were only a few people, which did not mean that there were few resources. In this black land, as long as you are a little diligent and use your head, even if there is no food in winter and it tastes a little bad, you will never starve to death.

Let me talk about the food that can be eaten in winter. In the northeast of that year, there was a saying called beating roe deer and fishing for fish with a stick. Many people may think it is fake, but if you really see the scene in Heilongjiang, you will definitely change your mind. Forget fishing. It is no exaggeration to meet some rivers that no one has ever fished, and the fish in them automatically jump up and down. As long as you lean against the river and dig a hole in the ice, the fish will jump out by itself.

If you depend on the mountain, you can hunt in the mountain. At that time, the management was not very strict. There were many wild animals in Heilongjiang at that time. Take the countryside where I lived as a child as an example. There are wolves, blind bears and roe deer, which are not to be taunted, but roe deer, pheasants and domestic birds can still be seen everywhere. Now they are wild protected animals, and we can't beat them. But in those days, no one was in charge, and you could get things with a condom.

Every time the mountain is closed by heavy snow, although the people struggle to go out, the animals also struggle to move and dress like a baker. Hunting in the mountains can still solve the problem of food and clothing. At least as far as I know, I am hungry in the mountains of Heilongjiang, although it may be difficult to eat.

Let alone elm money, wild vegetables and all kinds of wild fruits in spring, summer and autumn, which can be used for grading. Although it takes a year to receive food, other foods can be stored, such as corn, which can be eaten when it is green, and fruit, which can be used to satisfy hunger. And some poultry can be eaten with meat in a few months, and there is no need to wait for a year at all.

The most important thing is that the trip to Kanto in those days was difficult, but the country also gave support, and you didn't let yourself come and leave it alone. Many rural areas at that time were established by Shandong people who traveled to Kanto. After they settled here, the state also gave a lot of resources to support them.

The state helps build houses, build roads, dig wells and even distribute food. Take my village as an example. Today, there are still rural areas in China that can't get tap water. Our village had running water as early as 20 years ago. You may not believe it, but that's the truth.

Therefore, although it was hard, it was not as difficult as I thought. Compared with now, it must be much more difficult. However, there were too many resources in Northeast China, relying on mountains to eat, relying on water to eat, and hungry anyway.
