Daming 1805

Chapter 35 I rewrote the last paragraph of the previous chapter on prices.

Before I posted it, I looked at the content myself, and felt that it might not be clear enough, but it was very verbose.

Later, after reading everyone's comments, I found that it was still not clear enough, so I changed it a little and added a few hundred words.

Special mention, 15 yuan a month is prepared by the protagonist for his company, not the minimum salary standard for the Ming Dynasty.

The author himself was really brainstorming, using the protagonist's one-year salary to calculate the worker's monthly income.

In addition, the author is really a little emotional. The ordinary people in modern times not only do not know the living standards of the bottom people in the early industrial age, but also cannot imagine what the modern minimum living standards are like.

For example, now our minimum wage is 1500 to 2000.

Ordinary cities...even children from rural families, seeing this number, may think that this is nothing more than starvation.

But in fact, the standard of starvation is about 300 yuan, which should actually be less than 300 yuan.

The worst time for the author is that he spends less than ten dollars a day.

The scene of eating instant noodles is often used on TV to express a person's misery and poverty. In fact, it is basically the modern "why not eat minced meat".

A box of instant noodles in a barrel costs at least three yuan, right?

For three dollars, you can buy a pound of rice.

But more importantly, you can buy a pound or even two pounds of dried noodles during the overtime specials.

Two catties of dried noodles are 1000 grams, which is equivalent to ten packs of instant noodles.

Boiled with tap water in batches, the theory can be eaten for three days.

If you drink a box of instant noodles, you will end up with a meal, this person is still not miserable enough.

Steamed buns with spicy strips and pickles are also luxury goods.

Steamed buns cost at least [-] cents a piece, and a meal costs at least two, plus spicy strips and pickles, three dollars are gone in a day.

Really miserable people are eating vermicelli noodles, but those who eat instant noodles are not miserable enough.

A bucket of instant noodles is about 100 grams in total, and 500 grams is a pound, which is about 15 yuan per pound.

Most of the time, the price of pork is only ten yuan per pound. This is still pure fresh meat, and frozen chicken legs can be half cheaper.

If you can eat instant noodles in buckets, you can eat stewed meat and chicken, and a bucket of instant noodles can replace half a catty of frozen chicken legs.

1500到2000的收入，能够买100斤猪肉，或者300斤冻鸡腿，或者600到1000斤挂面。

平均每天3斤猪肉，或者10斤鸡腿，或者20到30斤挂面，或者是3到10斤方便面。

The standard of not dying of hunger mentioned in the book is the standard of not dying of starvation on less than 300 yuan a month, and can only eat dried noodles.

It's not what everyone imagined, eating instant noodles still feels miserable, that kind of standard that seems to be starved to death.

Moving on, there are also renting houses.

Many people may think that it is more economical to rent a house with several people and one house per person.

But have you ever rented a group dormitory?
Just like the school, or even worse than the school, a house with six bunk beds, or even twelve bunk beds?Even triple bunk beds?
One bed per person, or even one bed for a period of time?
"Hot bed" refers to a bed that is rented out by time. When the person gets up, the bed is still hot, and you lie down directly.

Want to hit the floor?Where can I lay a floor for you?You occupy at least the space of a bunk bed.
