Why is there such a big difference between buying food in the south and buying food in the north?

There are indeed differences between southerners and northerners in the way they buy food, but there is no such big difference between one root and one ton. This statement is a bit exaggerated. The reason why this kind of cute and funny shopping phenomenon appears has a lot to do with the climate difference between the north and the south. 1. It's hot and humid in the south, the dishes are easy to go bad, the winter in the south is cold, and the food is stored for a long time.

generally, buying vegetables in the northern vegetable market is measured by a bundle, a basket or even a bag, especially in winter in northeast China. It has become a common practice to hoard many kinds of vegetables in a car of several hundred kilograms, which has shocked many friends in the south. More interestingly, when many northerners go to the south to buy food, and have not yet done so in Rome, some vendors in the south can't help but ask if your family runs a restaurant.

Because in the south, people usually buy vegetables according to the amount of a meal or a day, such as a carrot, a small piece of meat, a few onions, a few eggs, etc. Sometimes vendors also provide very intimate chopping services, which makes northerners look incredible. Speaking of this, kindly remind the southern friends that if you go to the northern vegetable market to buy food in this way, you are likely to be rejected by the vegetable rice people on the spot, but the advantage is that maybe an onion or an egg you bought will be given away for free.

This difference between the north and the south is by no means the reason why some southerners are stingy and northerners are too wasteful. It is mainly caused by the difference in climatic conditions. The temperature in the south is high and humid all year round. If you hoard food for a few days at once, more than half of it will go bad before you have time to eat it. Therefore, they are used to buying only a small amount of food at a time, on the one hand, to prevent waste, on the other hand, for the sake of health. When the climate in the north is cold, the climate is dry, the food is not easy to go bad, and I don't want to buy food every day, so I choose to hoard food. 2. Apart from the differences in the way of buying food, the diet is also very different. Secondly, when paying for food, the north and the south are also slightly different. For example, the North will take the lead, and only 2 yuan will accept 2.3 yuan, while the Southerners will not, and will seriously get your 7 cents back. On the other hand, there are differences in diet between the north and the south, such as eating jiaozi in the north during the New Year, eating glutinous rice balls in the south, eating corn by roots in the north and grains in the south.

The phrase "south rice is north" is often heard by everyone, and the fact is the same. Due to regional and climate differences, more wheat is planted in the north and more rice is planted in the south. Excluding those who are super adaptable, northerners going to the south or southerners going to the north will be somewhat uncomfortable at the beginning. Of course, these doubts will disappear after you really know the food in various regions, because food has no boundaries.
