Come grocery shopping with me! 🛒 I live in a village in Zhejiang Province, China, far outside of the range of "regular grocery stores" or food delivery... but fortunately there is a market 20 minutes away, today I'll take you guys with me on my weekly trip to get groceries.

When people say that China's losing money on its transit systems/not making profits, but seeing that regular bus service to a tiny village tells a different story. Is that bus route making money? probably not, but it brings people and goods to other cities and towns, which helps those other local economies. You can cook the pig tails just the same way as ox tails... just a lot less meat. 😅😅😅

@kats_journey_east 9 месяцев назад

I've heard that silly thing before too , it's a public service for the people not a for profit enterprise. by that same logic the US public school system is also "losing money" 😂

@crimson0119 9 месяцев назад

@@kats_journey_east Sadly US (and even Canada) are starting to lose sight what SHOULD be for the public service and what is for profit..... Oh, not sure if its the same in your rural markets, but usually at the markets I go to near closing time, they do big price drops for their produce because they just want to sell it all.... Great time to pickup cheap fruits. :)

I actually wondered where do people in the village buy their groceries and this video is reassuring. Getting there early is the key and the market looks great, and it's not too far from your house, although I can see you do have a lot to carry. Can't beat the fresh produce. I hope what you got is enough for the week. I would assume that the prices are also lower here than the big cities.

Good Morning Katherine! Grocery shopping will never be the same. With your storytelling talents, you managed to make a pretty mundane task into a layered and captivating story covering the mountains/the environment in the backdrop, health through the produces’ freshness and humanity with your considerate and respectful conversations with the vendors. You are able to move seamlessly from the pig to the rotisserie chicken, fishes swimming their last strokes and the noodles made out of everything under the sun. Here again a compelling narration as noodles from flour provide carbohydrates while the one from beans a source of healthy vegetables proteins… Who knew? A balanced meal from Chinese variety of noodles. Marco Polo forgot about noodles from vegetables…😊 Finally a neologism…noodle-able… I was laughing my head off. It is funny, witty, plainly relevant and a propos. To you and to those dear to you, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Best Regards and take care! Parfait

她所拍的农村并不都是这样，不过在农村虽然有公交车，但是私家车也是基本都有，至少是在我们东北和北方地区，大概率每家都有一辆汽车🚗，一辆拖拉机🚜，和电动车或者摩的，在我们这，每家至少10亩农田，多的会在20－50亩以上，距离县级城市也是不算太远，买东西很方便，比如有，卖车的，修车的，农贸市场，五金工具，车床加工，建筑用品，装修公司，购物商场，婚葬服务，运输，餐饮行业，快递服务等等等，综上所述，部分会在乡镇级也有，由于是县级城市，最低工资在2500元左右（为了能让你们听明白，是税后的钱），我一年是10万块，我家里有养殖场，基本有牲畜的人家，比如牛会有4－8头，这是最少的，大部分会在10头以上，有羊的人家大部分最少是20只以上，如果没什么太大的开销的话，除去日常开销，这里边包括很多，一个人一年最少会剩下2－5万块的存款，这是按最低来计算的，由于个个城市的经济不同，所以不能以偏概全，要以实际每个地方来定义。

between 6 and 14, I lived steps away from such a market. Everything was fresh, veggies picked at 4am, soy milk made at 5am, etc. But a bargain is needed for a good price so it's noisy and I often got woken up by loud grandmas and aunties who shop very early :)

The variety of fruits and vegetable available in China - in this village - is MUCH greater that what is available in my "big box" supermarket.

@Leila-sd1sl 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, isn’t that crazy? All we got are the basics like carrots, tomatoes, broccoli, green beans, celery etc…..

大部分的水果和蔬菜并不是当地的，中国有非常发达的物流体系，每天都在往全国运输。

Hi Katherine, you could buy a wheeled bag to carry groceries, and it's reusable and very convenient.

Yes, small "natural" chickens are better than large chemically fed chickens. My family always prioritizes small chickens, either to cook or buy ready-to-eat from street food vendors.

Oh about the market, we also have early morning market here, from around 3am and at 6.30 almost nothing left. But we have some small stores in every neighbourhood that resell fresh stuff from the market. Small stores owner will go to the market really early then resell the stuff for people that can't go to market themselves.

The chickens in HK and China don't have as much meat on them as in the west. However, they have so much more flavour compared to the chickens (even the free range ones) over here. @Katherine I would love to see how you cook that chicken.
