"In those days, living conditions were very difficult. Maybe now you think that being able to afford seafood means that your living conditions are good, but in fact, no one ate this kind of seafood in those days. Moreover, all the good seafood was sold, and the ones that remained were not
They were all defective products, smelly fish and rotten shrimps. Some of these items were taken back to each family and cooked and eaten without any oil or water.
So I spent a week at school eating steamed buns, pickled vegetables, and sand tea sauce. Naturally, what I looked forward to most was the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall made by my mother.
It's a pity that my mother passed away not long after the reform and opening up, and she never had a good life." Speaking of this, Zou Huanyi, an almost eighty-year-old man, couldn't help but sigh. At his age, life and death have already passed away.
He looked away. But he still hasn't let go of his mother who died young.
Qin Xinghe said with a smile: "When we were in school, although the living conditions were better than when you were young, we didn't even dare to expect fish, shrimps and seafood. We might only have one or two hairtails to eat and drink during the holidays.
Kelp soup and so on. As for abalone, sea cucumber, scallops and lobster, I only had it after working for several years."
Hearing Qin Xinghe's words, Zou Huanyi also recovered from his sighs, and then smiled at Qin Xinghe and Wu Hao and said: "In our time, there were a lot of seafood and little food. I would definitely not be able to survive just eating seafood, so I still have to eat
Food. Fishermen use seafood, fish, shrimp, and other seafood to exchange for food. It takes more than ten kilograms of fish and shrimp to exchange for one kilogram of food. As for abalone, sea cucumbers, etc., no one eats them at all."
Seeing the puzzled and curious look on Wu Hao's face, Zou Huanyi smiled and said: "You guys, you haven't experienced that era. Food was very scarce in that era, so it was very precious. Although fish, shrimp and seafood are now more expensive than food, but
It was very cheap at that time and was something the poor people ate.
And, more importantly, food can be stored, but fish and shrimp cannot be stored. In addition to drying some fresh dried fish, it is dried shrimp skin and kelp.
At that time, what we often ate was to cook a pot of white porridge or batter, put a little salted fish in it, and that was a meal.
So, things have really gotten better now, and we all need to cherish this good era."
Qin Xinghe smiled, and then continued what Zou Huanyi said: "The only things we didn't eat in the winter when we were in school were stick noodle steamed buns, sorghum noodle steamed buns, and wheat-skin noodle steamed buns, and then sauerkraut, Chinese cabbage, or a fried
Carrot slices, cornmeal and sweet potato porridge.
Eating this all winter long makes people feel bitter in their stomachs when they see it."
Haha, Wu Hao smiled. Although he knew that the living conditions were difficult at that time, when he heard what the two said, he just felt it was novel and didn't experience much.
The two talked for a few more words, and Qin Xinghe then changed the topic to Wu Hao: "How are you preparing for the first flight of your manned spacecraft next year?"
Hearing Qin Xinghe suddenly ask this, Wu Hao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's already in progress. The development project of the Walker 4 manned spacecraft has been started. The overall progress is rapid. The supporting Jianmu 7 has been modified to be recyclable.
The launch vehicle has also begun manufacturing, and there should be no problem in meeting the launch window in the middle of next year."
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Zou Huanyi also showed an interested look: "So, you plan to launch the first manned spacecraft in June or July next year."
Wu Hao smiled and paused: "That's the plan. We have confirmed with the manned engineering department and Qin Bureau that next year's Nanhai Space Manned Launch Site will only have a free launch window in June and July. If you miss this
If there is a launch window, then we can only postpone it until next winter."
Qin Xinghe on the side nodded and explained along with Wu Hao's words: "Next year is a big year for space, and the launch plan is very intensive, so there are not many free windows.
Originally, we planned to use the free time in June and July for the entire team to repair, but if you take advantage of it now, then the launch team will probably have to wait until the end of the year before they can rest."
Hearing Qin Xinghe's words, Wu Hao felt a little embarrassed and said: "It's really hard for everyone. We still feel sorry for this."
Qin Xinghe waved his hand after hearing this: "This is their job, and it is also their responsibility, and they should bear it. If you feel sorry in your heart, just give them your condolences when the time comes.
Besides, you are also contributing to our country's aerospace industry, and we should support you. If you really want to thank you, then complete this launch mission and send your spacecraft to carry astronauts safely and smoothly into space.
This is the greatest reward for all the hard workers.”
Zou Huanyi nodded and then asked Wu Hao: "Have the astronauts confirmed it? Who do you plan to send to space for the first manned flight?"
Hearing Zou Huanyi's question, Wu Hao looked at Qin Xinghe with a smile and said: "As for astronauts, we still hope that our astronauts can join this project and become the first batch of astronauts to ride on this manned spacecraft.
"
Qin Xinghe naturally understood what Wu Hao was thinking. He put down his chopsticks, picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you this? It's still under study. Although overall, there is no problem, but
There are still some opinions and concerns. After all, many people are still skeptical about the reliability and safety of your commercial manned spacecraft.
Therefore, there is still a lot of opposition to allowing astronauts to participate in the first flight of this manned spacecraft.
Of course, as long as your Walker 3 unmanned experimental spacecraft can successfully complete the docking and replenishment of the space station and return to the earth safely, then I think there is no problem with your request. After all, in this regard, the leaders above also
Express your support for the development of your manned space program.
And as far as astronauts are concerned, everyone is very enthusiastic about taking your country's first commercial manned spacecraft into space."
Having said this, Qin Xinghe smiled at Wu Hao and said: "I can give you another piece of good news. If your commercial manned spacecraft is confirmed to be safe and reliable, then we may carry some cargo and people to and from the space station in the future.
The task is entrusted to you."
"Really, this is great." Wu Hao couldn't help but get excited. This was the goal he had been looking forward to pursuing, but he didn't expect Qin Xinghe to take the initiative to say it.
Seeing Wu Hao's excited look, Qin Xinghe smiled and nodded and confirmed: "Of course it is true. The premise is that your manned spacecraft must be safe and reliable, otherwise everything will be in vain."
Having said this, Qin Xinghe paused, glanced at Wu Hao and then continued: "The reason why I entrust you with this part of the cargo transportation and manned round trip tasks is of course to support your manned spacecraft project.
On the other hand, it is also to reduce transportation costs. After all, your launch vehicles and manned spacecraft are reusable, so the cost is naturally much cheaper."
