Do you still remember the debate between sweet and salty zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival? It seems that the differences between northerners and southerners have always been a 1 topic among the Chinese.
Now another difference has 2 wide attention: the way northerners and southerners buy food at markets.
People from southern China might say they prefer to buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is 3 for them to buy just half a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.
However, one may be 4 if he or she does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual.
Also, 5 you go to the market in the south, you can buy a small amount of fruit, such as an apple or a pear. Shop owners even help you peel and cut it. But hardly do shop owners in the north 6 such service.
The difference could be because of different climates.
Food can be 7 for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northerners have the 8 of stocking up on food.
But because of the hot and wet weather in the south, the southern Chinese prefer to buy just enough food for one meal or one day. Otherwise, the food may go 9.
Maybe these debates about 10 help us Chinese people know more about each other.
