    Not long ago, a South Korean university cafeteria put up a warning sign because Chinese students took more meat from the buffet. This makes the Chinese netizens do not understand. Because food is so plentiful and cheap in China, the Chinese have long been free to eat meat. Unlike so-called developed countries like South Korea, where per capita income may be higher than China's, they can't actually afford to consume more meat and fruit.

    Allow me to explain for your questions.
    First of all, Yonghui Supermarket is roughly a mid-range chain-supermarket in China.
    The northern regions of China produce exceptionally high-quality varieties of apples. In fact, China currently accounts for about half of the world's apple production. The apples you picked up 8:30 are actually produced in the Aksu region of Xinjiang.
    The other "mysterious" vegies in the video are: cucumber 6:56, garlic sprouts, 7:06, oyster mushroom 9:47, one kind of Chinese chives(allium tuberosum, 藠头) 10:24 , agrocybe aegerita (茶树菇) 10:29, water bamboo shoot (zizania latifolia, 茭白) 10:31 , lettuce(lactuca sativa var. angustana, 莴笋) 10:40 , lotus root 10:57, winter melon (冬瓜) 12:47.
    And yes, you've noticed that the variety of food products in Chinese supermarkets are extremely abundant, except for cheese and coffee. This is because Chinese family kitchens basically do not involve cheese and coffee. And you know large supermarkets mainly supply daily kitchen items for home use. Although, young people in China would accept more for cheese and coffee, however, they basically enjoy them in restaurants and coffee shops, or just ordering through apps. So next time you come to China, strongly recommend you to use the ordering APPs for coffee, and you'll find a whole new world.
    Love your videos! Welcome back~

    The variety of products in China would shock you. China produces more than half of the world's vegetables, more than a quarter of its fruit, more than 70 percent of its seafood, and so on. Plus, these fruits and vegetables you see in the supermarket are just some of the common varieties, but there are many more seasonal products every season.

      There are more than 81pcs trains in the rural area e.g. Hunan, Guizhou province with very cheaper ticket. the train is traditional green color with very low speed and stop at every small station. the line is set for the farmers especially for those poor vilieges. lots of farmers from the villege of one province took the train with tons of vegs and fruits to another province to sell, then return to their home through that train within one day. the tickets only cost 1~5 RMB。 I remember there is one train is totally free for the farmers in Huanan province which allow them to sell their local vegs and fruits to GuangDong province.

Because in China, if you buy it at home with your mobile phone, it can be 30% cheaper than here, and it can be delivered to your home within 1 hour, or you can specify a time after get off work.

There are very few fruit and vegetables that China does not grow because of its land size and therefore, diverse climates. The great thing about China is that there are millions of small scale farmers; even a small plot of land is cultivated for home use. If you have a chance, try to look for some videos of Chinese farming and you will find how productive and high yield their farming is.

However, as a child then, I wrongly thought we were still very poor so we have the goal. When I came to widely recogonised developed countries like Australia and USA to study , I did realize that the statement Material Life Extremely Rich on my book is a very fact now. We did have more kinds and cheaper things in China. There are so many kinds of various goods from food to cloths to EVs to houses to everything you can imagine.

    很多人说中国物价便宜是中国农民辛苦,我就是农民,我来自河南省商丘市睢阳区。我可以告诉你,水果蔬菜价格低最大的原因是农业科技的大规模利用。无人机打药,水肥一体,机械化种植和收获,恒温大棚,等等。不仅降低了劳动强度还大幅提高了产量。
    如果你不信我推荐你去看看,比如陕西大荔冬枣,山东冠县油桃,安徽砀山酥梨,新疆石河子棉花,太多太多了。农民已经不是你印象中的那种脸靠黄土背朝天的耕作模式了。

      @@yyw6361 你说的没有错,现在中国政府正在通过农机补贴,鼓励土地流转,推进土地规模化种植同时又让小农又有土地租金收益。
      比如说我们这里,六七十岁的农民自己有两亩地,种一年下来可能去除种子化肥一亩能赚1500,但是土地流转地租只有1000了,他们会觉着少收入500元,但是他们没有考虑种植的风险和自己一年的辛苦劳作,农民不认为体力也是投入,所以你现在还可以看到所谓农民大爷大妈那么辛苦。
      我父母这辈人就是这个样子宁愿又晒又累也不愿意租给别人。我其实已经能够让他们过体面的生活了,可以他们完全可以过得不像你看到的那样让人可怜的在地里劳作,可是他们种了一辈子地,他们并不只计算经济因素。他们闲不下来,他们愿意去地里就让他们去吧。
      实际上大部分农民完全可以流转出去每年都可以分原来自己种植60%-70%的收入还可以不用劳作。腾出的时间完全可以打个零工或者做一些手工活,收入不会降低。

    Everything is complicated in China. Chinese people's food expenses can be divided into several levels:
    1. The people who spend the least on food are farmers. In China, farmers have their own land and can grow rice, wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, various vegetables, and raise chickens and ducks. Even pigs, sheep, and cattle. And all these foods are organic. Of course, if you grow these foods yourself, you won't have much time to do some full-time work. Some businessmen go to this place to buy watermelons, usually 50 cents for half a kilogram, and then sell them in the city.
    2. The second least spenders are citizens in small cities and towns who work full-time and generally work in jobs with low incomes. Their food basically comes from mass-produced factories or farms, and the price is not high. It is not necessarily organic food, but it is all peripheral products that are transported and sold. For example, watermelon is 1 yuan a half kilogram in this place.
    3. The third type is full-time working citizens in larger cities. Their food also comes mostly from mass-produced factories or farms. But they usually go to supermarkets or some markets in the city center to buy. Due to transportation, storage, and inspection. The price is more expensive than the second type of local food. You see it like this. For example, watermelon is 2 yuan a half kilogram in this place.
    4. The fourth type is some high-end supermarkets. Their prices are higher than the supermarkets you photographed. They advertise that many foods are organic. There are relatively few supermarkets of this type. They especially like to use some imported foods as a promotional point. For example, watermelon here may be 5 yuan for half a kilogram.

There is a tiny bit of alcohol in it so not strong at all. It has a mostly sweet taste with a bit sour in it, mostly from the fermented sticky rice at the bottom. Some place might drink it as a sweet beverage, but the most famous way of using this Jiu Niang is to cook small Tangyuan(small balls made from sticky rice) in it.

Local veggies and fruits are super fresh, just harvested at dawn or the night before, lots of vendors are farmers who drive or take public transportation from the suburbs into cities to sell direct to customers. Unlike western farmers markets are almost exclusively more expensive than supermarkets which I still can't figure out why lol.

    第一个是平菇,煮汤炒菜都很好吃,还可以油炸
    第二个是平草菇,价格牌子上面写着鲜虫花草,是种真菌,煲汤用的
    第三个没看清是啥
    第四个是木耳,炒菜的,也可以做馅,卤子啥的,一般买那种风干的回家泡,鲜的肯定贵一些…
    第五个白绿相间的叫茭白…炒肉好吃,就是公摊面积有些大,那么大个个头得扒一半没用的叶子下来…在中国属于比较贵的蔬菜
    第六个蘑菇蘑菇忘了叫啥了,反正也是炒着吃煮着吃都成,泡火锅也成
    第七个长长的绿色蔬菜叫莴笋…嫩的好吃,炒菜煲汤都好吃,把皮削了,叶子扔了吃根茎,口感很清脆…还有个同科兄弟叫贡菜,涮火锅好吃
    第八个棕榈树上的那个叫藕,是荷花的根茎,炒菜,煲汤,夹肉油炸都可以,切开两片藕可以像披萨哪样拉丝,中国有个很贵的奢侈品印泥,龙泉印泥,就是用中间的藕丝做的,一克印泥要上千
    姜在中国日常饮食里主要用在给肉去腥…还有的用于做甜品…

      我家每到秋天会把他和梨,红枣,枸杞,冰糖,百合干等东西一起煮,做成甜汤来预防咳嗽(这些加在一起可以止咳,还对肺有好处…)

    The younger generation usually places an order on the APP to buy fresh vegetables or fruits, and the supermarket can deliver these to the retail stores within 24 hours, and the young people can pick up the goods on the way home the next night. This is why supermarkets rarely have customers during working hours from Monday to Friday. This business model is to deliver daily groceries from supermarkets to small community stores, so that individual residents can buy these goods from community stores according to their personal needs. The business model of the supermarket is called "physical store + online store + community demand sales", and smaller retail stores do not need a lot of funds to reserve a large number of goods, because the goods have been sold according to demand, and the smaller community retail stores have become logistics passenger stations.

    Since people in China are usually “busy”. Most have their breakfast on their way to work. So for those like coffee in the morning, they buy one on their way. Or even get coffee in their office. You should be able to find black instant coffee in most of the supermarkets in big cities in China, they usually are in glass bottles. For huge cities like Beijing, Shanghai, guangzhou, etc. bags of coffee beans are easily to be found in supermarkets.

    One day I was in that Asian aisle and I heard a lady shouting "Damn this aisle!". Being an Asian Canadian I got really angry instantly upon hearing that, and I started to walk towards that lady to confront her, ready to start an fight or arguement, this is when I heard the lady finishing her sentence "it makes me want to try everything". And just like that, I lost all my anger and walked away laughing...🤣

    I've visited many countries around the world. It's understandable that Western countries have higher prices for goods. However, many countries, which are not wealthier, have even higher prices for goods compared to China. In comparison to most countries globally, especially after Covid, inflation is insane, but prices in China have been maintained quite well.

    Fruits in season are usually become cheaper. Especially during summer when they start ripening. But yeah, China's fruits and vegetables are pretty affordable unlike other countries. China being a huge country can grow everything from temperate to tropical climate. They also eat many types of fruit and veg, thus have a huge variety of mushrooms, green tender leafy vegetables (which unlike European green veg, aren't bitter or hard), various kinds of gourds and melons etc. SouthEast Asians to a large extent also eat many of the same stuff as well especially where there are overseas Chinese population.

    I haven't been to a supermarket for several years. Nowadays, most people who go to supermarkets in China are elderly, while young people prefer to buy everything online.
    It's even cheaper than in supermarkets, and fresh ingredients arrive the next day. Goods shipped across China won't take more than four days. You can buy cars and houses online, and even a satellite was sold online last year. Guess what, there's another China online.😂
