Short story of thrift:
1, Zhu Yuanzhang with four dishes and one soup
In Fengyang, Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown, there is also a song of four dishes and one soup: the emperor treats you, four dishes and one soup, radish and leek, which is really sweet; Onion tofu, profound and clear, makes corrupt officials flustered. When Zhu Yuanzhang celebrated the queen's birthday, he only used two bowls of carrots, leeks, vegetables and spring onion tofu soup to entertain the officials. Moreover, there are three chapters in the Covenant: in the future, no matter who hosts a banquet, only four dishes and one soup are allowed, and anyone who violates it will pay in hell.
2. Diligent and thrifty Mao Zedong
Mao Zedong asked others to do it first. He lived a simple life, slept in a hard bed and wore coarse clothes. A nightgown was mended 73 times and worn for 20 years. During the difficult economic times, he took the initiative to reduce his salary and living standard, and did not eat fish or fruit.
In the 1960s, once after a meeting before noon, he left everyone for lunch. At the dinner table, he cooked cabbage with a big bowl of meatballs and a few small dishes of pickles, and the staple food was sesame cake. Great men set an example of thrift for China people.
