The pleasure of visiting the vegetable market

I believe some people prefer to visit the vegetable market rather than shopping malls and supermarkets, such as me.

There used to be a big vegetable market near my home, which was made of plastic steel. Almost all the surrounding residents go there to buy food such as vegetables and meat. Later, the vegetable market was forced to close. You can only go to the supermarket to buy food. To tell the truth, buying food in the supermarket is really boring. A fixed dish will always be in a fixed position, and that dish will always be like that, except that the price of vegetables has gone up and down, which makes no difference for many years. It is boring and dull. Another reason is that the food in the vegetable market is still cheaper than that in the supermarket, and it is very fresh.

I recently heard that the vegetable market near my home has reopened. I knew it had been open for two or three months. So I went there to buy food recently.

In the past, after the original plastic steel was demolished, it was an open-air market. Each booth will build its own shed, parasols or open air without parasols at all. Almost the same as before. Vegetables, fruits, staple foods, dried fruits, pork, beef and mutton, poultry, fish, pots and pans, breakfast stalls ... There are more clothes to sell, and the categories are still relatively complete.

The fun of visiting the vegetable market is that it is not a fixed thing. Of course, vegetables are grown in greenhouses now. Many green leafy vegetables are available all year round, but there are also some unusual things. For example, I actually found tree grapes in the vegetable market, also called Jiabao fruit. I first saw it when I was playing in Zhujiajiao ancient town in Shanghai. It is a southern fruit. It tastes good, but it is rare. I didn't expect to appear in this small dish market.

Another special place to visit the vegetable market is that there are always several stalls selling their own products. Of course, there are a lot of fish and dragons here, and some of them are obviously purchased from the wholesale market, but they lie to you that they are self-produced. It's up to you. My shift index should be 50/50. Vegetables produced at home are generally unsightly and grotesque in size. I don't know what my psychology is, but I don't like those things that look almost the same. On the contrary, these ugly things attract me more, which is probably a feeling. Yes, a feeling! When I was a child, I had a vegetable garden at home, and I could plant whatever I wanted in the garden. I remember at that time, my mother always enriched my garden according to different seasons: corn, beans, beans piled on the ground, zucchini, pumpkin, wax gourd, cucumber, Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage ... tomatoes were also planted, but they were too easy to rot, and they were never planted again. Every time I buy tomatoes, I always want to buy my own products. I feel that my products have the taste of tomatoes in those days. None of the tomatoes grown in the greenhouse taste like tomatoes. Too weak!

The breakfast stalls in the vegetable market are also places I often go to, such as sesame cakes, fried dough sticks, bean curd, mutton offal soup, big pancakes and so on. But now I dare not eat indiscriminately, for fear of unsanitary and unhealthy. Now it's a big pancake, and the ingredients of pancakes are relatively simple. Pancakes were made by the same couple. After several years, they are still the same, not half old. It can be seen that this pancake is still cultured. Pancakes are authentic Shandong pancakes. Use a large iron pot, husband to manage the pot, and scoop the coarse grain paste onto the pot. At the same time, the iron pan flew, spread the grain paste out little by little with a wooden scraper, smooth it with eggs, and then smooth it. In a short time, an authentic Shandong pancake was formed. The pancake was folded in half and thrown to the side of the console. Sometimes it's my wife's turn to work, only to see her skillfully brush the sauce, sprinkle with chopped green onion and lettuce, cover it crisp, roll the pancake like a quilt, cut it off, divide everything in two, bag it, and do it in one go.

I always eat pancakes in the supermarket when I go to the supermarket, but I still think the Shandong pancakes in this vegetable market are more authentic. Shandong people make Shandong pancakes.

Yes, these are probably the pleasures of the vegetable market. You can always find something new every time, just like treasure hunting!
