Talking about buying meat in the market

There is an old saying in the countryside that the experience left by natural old people is reasonable. And these old sayings will also make us take fewer detours. Take pork and tofu, for example. The old saying is also very particular. The ancestors naturally had many ways to buy pork and tofu. So the old saying in the countryside: "Don't buy pork early, don't buy tofu late" is the truth. So what does this sentence mean? Why not buy pork in the morning? Plum will answer.

Don't buy pork too early;

When I buy pork, I always buy it whenever I want, especially when I buy meat in the supermarket. I don't see anything wrong. I can get which one I want to buy.

But one day, when I returned to my hometown, I found that this was not the case. Parents buy pork in the market, never in a hurry to buy pork, but make a big circle in the collection, buy all the dishes, and finally buy pork on the meat shelf. What's going on here? I naturally want to know.

And the truth my parents told me is: because pork is not what it used to be, some unscrupulous butchers add water to the pork they bought for greater profits, and then slaughter it when it is almost ready. In this way, the butcher killed a lot more pork (this is obviously selling water). If you buy pork early, there will naturally be a lot of water in the pork, but if you buy pork late, some water will naturally flow out.

Of course, there is another reason why butchers don't buy pork earlier: butchers always sell some spoiled pork first when they sell meat. This is because butchers kill pigs. Some pigs can't be sold out that day, so they take them out and wait until the next day.

Because they were afraid that yesterday's pork would stink, they sold the pork on the first day first, so that the butchers didn't have to worry about yesterday's pork. After they sell inferior pork, they will naturally leave good-looking pork, because good-looking pork can attract customers more. And customers, because they are amateurs, naturally can't tell the difference between good and bad pork. In this way, under repeated operations, it is natural that someone revealed the matter of "not buying pork early".

Don't buy tofu at night;

My home is in the countryside. Every morning, you can hear the sound of tofu bangzi, and the old woman selling tofu in the village comes again. Whenever this happens, as usual, I ask my grandmother to cut two Jin of tofu and then stew cabbage. Because grandma's tofu is better, old and tender, and it's also to my taste.

Grandma also said that it's early to buy tofu, especially when it first comes out. At that time, tofu was hot and tender, and it was also the best. Tofu at night is naturally not as delicious as in the morning, and the taste of tofu has changed. Why is this?

Because tofu is different from pork, pork can be sold out on the first day. Although the taste is worse, it does not hinder the quality of pork. But tofu is different, because tofu is made of fresh soybeans ground into soybean milk and then made of gypsum or brine, so there is a saying that "brine points tofu".

Because the freshly ground soybean milk is fresh, the freshly made tofu is naturally fresh. However, because tofu is stored for a long time, it will deteriorate in hot summer, naturally freeze in cold winter, and the taste of tofu is much worse at night. So because the taste of tofu has changed, many people are reluctant to buy tofu at night.

It is reasonable for the old people in rural areas to say that "don't buy pork early and tofu late", which is also the experience gained by the old people's practice. Therefore, we should respect and respect these rural old sayings. Only by getting these old rural sayings will we not suffer in the future.
