Those who went to the northeast to cultivate land could not harvest food in those days. What do they live on?

The author took it for granted that although we could not harvest food in those years, the products in Northeast China were particularly rich at that time, so let's not talk about spring, summer and autumn. Just say winter, as long as you are a little diligent and rely on mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. It may be hard to eat, but it won't starve to death.

I come from Heilongjiang in the northeast. I don't know what the other two provinces are like, but if you say that people who travel 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 eating is a little difficult, 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, beating roe deer and fishing with sticks. Maybe many people think this is false, but if you really see the scene in Heilongjiang, you will definitely change your mind. Forget fishing. When you meet some rivers where no one has ever fished, the fish in the river will jump up and down automatically, which is no exaggeration. As long as you lean against the river and dig a hole in the ice, the fish will jump out by itself.

If you rely on mountains, you can hunt in them. The control was not very strict at that time. 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. They 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 fight them. But in those days, nobody cared, and you could get something with condoms.

Every time the mountain is closed by heavy snow, although people struggle to go out, animals also struggle to move, dressed like bakers, and hunting in the mountains can still solve the problem of food and clothing. At least as far as I know, although it may be difficult for me to eat enough in the mountainous areas of Heilongjiang, I will never starve to death.

In spring, summer and autumn, not to mention elm money, wild vegetables and all kinds of wild fruits, they can all be used for grading. Although it takes a year to harvest grain, other foods can also be stored, such as green corn and fruits that can be used to satisfy hunger. Moreover, 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 although it was difficult to go to Kanto in those days, the country also gave support, so you didn't let yourself come. Many rural areas at that time were established by Shandong people who went to Kanto. After they settled here, the state also gave them 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. Up to now, there are still rural areas in China where tap water is not available. Our village had running water as early as 20 years ago. You may not believe it, but it's the truth.

Therefore, although it was difficult to cross the Kanto in those days, it was not as difficult as expected. Compared with now, it must be much more difficult. However, there were too many resources in Northeast China in those days, so we relied on mountains to eat and water to eat, but we were hungry anyway.
