The food varieties and cooking methods are simply crazy in China. When you live in the states, u travel from east coast to the west coast, basically you’re gonna eat burgers, salads, pizzas and BBQs, don’t matter where u go. But in China, if u travel from city to city, the variety of food selections are totally different, it’s like you’re traveling in different countries 😂 never get bored
在我们伟大的中国跪下乞求西方魔鬼的那一天到来之前，所有西方人都会让母亲和父亲埋葬他们的孩子
Yes，you are right!
what a place to walk around. 😊
8:28: es un paraíso para los que gustamos del te ..que variedad y hermosos empaques.. 🤗🤗
When people think about China in geopolitical terms, 1.4 billion people boggles their mind. How to feed, house, clothe, educate, employ and care for so many people? That's for Xi and the CCP politburo members to figure out. China's big cities are roughly tiered by population. Tier 1: 15 million or more; Tier 2: Between 3 and 15 million; Tier 3: Between 150,000 and 3 million. Even for a smaller city like this one in Yunnan, south-east China, it's still a big job to make sure everything runs smoothly, including the farmers markets. Xi and the top brass are many layers removed from the street scenes. It's the job of local officials. Not many Chinese are engaged to make computer chips to break the US choke-hold. But every Chinese person is doing their part. It's a marvel that China somehow managed to run an orderly society, pulled those in abject poverty out of misery, and improved the lives of so many people. Impressive.
Kunming is my hometown. People are very kind and nice there. thank you very much for sharing this video.
I saw a television series "Meet Yourself" showing Yunnan province❤
everything looking delicious
? ? didnt know raw uncooked meat can be delicious?
Hey Barret !!!! I Have Been There 3 Weeks Ago MAN !!!! Lovely Place ! Thank You Man ! Fernando
This kind of wet market can be found in many Asian and Southeast Asian Countries! That dark coloured egg is known as 皮蛋pronounce as pee-tan also known in the West as century old egg though the truth is only being fermented in kind of ashes for a few weeks!
It is much cleaner and more organized in China than in Southeast Asia.
@@bldomain真的，看起来比起马来西亚的市集干净很多，不会湿答答然后角落都是一堆垃圾
Very interesting. They also do this in Russia. It has to be wood ash. It's an effective method of preserving eggs through winter when the hens stop laying due to to short day light length. You can't get through Easter celebrations without a hard boiled one!
So I'm fascinated whether there has been some cultural exchange in the distant past, or whether they discovered this independently.
(Europeans never worked this out although wood was the only available fuel until the industrial revolution)
i would LOVE to spend time in that tea shop!!! all those tea accessories 🥰😍🤩
Very interesting!
I always thought food came in a can.
Interesting video, thanks!
The western media say there is shorts of food in China. Thank you for sharing it.
the produce looks so fresh, i really miss chinese food market
Strawberry is expensive in winter because it is not the season for it. It will become much cheaper in the coming spring, say, March.
Love some fresh meat 👌 I go to the markets here in China a lot!
These stall always allow you to sample their wares, although I was too shy to try them. Also in Macau. Whether it was sweets, chilli sauce, dried meat (sliced jerky), etc.
Nice video lee.looks great..nice tea shop.
China has so many items
The markets in China has so much variety of products at such fresh and cheap prices
Farmers markets are increasingly popular in the UK, plus many towns still have their old open markets.
You tell it as it is, nothing added or removed, unlike some arrogant foreign vloggers with personal bias or ignorance.
Very nice video!
Actually, most if not all of the price tags wrote 'Kg' or '公斤' , not 斤(0.5Kg). This was also true for the strawberries, I think it's a mandatory requirement from the market administrator.
Yes you are right, otherwise 50 RMB for 0.5 kg strawberries is way too expensive.
Huh? I thought the dominant unit of weight used by local Chinese in their day-to-day grocery shopping is 斤(500g)? Surprised that the mkt admin forces sellers to use kg instead.
@@edukid1984When using Jin (斤) as unit, some sellers scammed consumers using excuses like 'we are using short Jin (slightly smaller than 500g)'. So in many places, local governments issued regulations to standardize the units to the metric system.
@@joey3291 Ah, that makes sense. In Malaysia the Chinese community here still use the nearly 600g version of 斤 often (grocers just round to 600g for simplicity), but otherwise all wet market trades are typically in metric units too.
@@edukid1984 This farmer's market is located in Kunming. Kunming generally uses kilograms (1000g) as the unit, unlike other parts of China that use jin (500g) as the unit. For example, Xinjiang is also measured in kilograms (1000g).
Chicken liver pate is the best . Great market , we really miss out in the uk
I miss farmer's market so much, Shanghai used to have some, now all disappeared, so sad
I love China
It intrigues me to see commodities which have been bought and sold since antiquity being paid for with mobile phones and QR codes!
😊😊😊
Black egg, are preserved eggs, know either as 1000yrs or 100 yrs egg. One use is in Congee with pork meat.
Those strawberries are expensive. Here in Jinan, Shandong Province, we pay about 25 yuan for half a kilo. We usually get them in spring, so maybe they're grown in poly tunnels? My wife and I are coming to Kunming for a few days next week, hope the prices have gone down by then. Great to see you communicating with the market people. Any cafes in that market?
In California where I live there is only one type of strawberry available. Seasons don’t change the type of strawberry sold.
These strawberries are enormous, red in color, but white on the inside. They have no flavor or scent. They are just used for garnishes unless you add artificial chemical flavoring. And they’re all the same everywhere: Ralphs, Vons, Whole Foods, Hispanic markets - all the same.
Someone commented above that for this particular market, the administrators made it compulsory to list prices in KG instead of 500g (jin). If true, then those strawberries actually cost abt the same as Jinan.
❤❤❤
💪🏻👍👋
The black eggs are called Century Eggs.
Always aTopvideo Barrett👍😮
I try
This farmer's market is located in Kunming. Kunming generally uses kilograms (1000g) as the unit, unlike other parts of China that use jin (500g) as the unit. For example, Xinjiang is also measured in kilograms (1000g).The price of strawberries is 50 yuan/kg (1000g)
That’s still very expensive for strawberry. Maybe it’s scarce and perishable.
@@theinfralink6598 The price of 25 yuan/500g is considered a cheap strawberry in China. And there are a lot of fruits in China, so you can buy other fruits instead. For example, the price of watermelon in summer is mostly below 1 yuan/500g.
Those black eggs are called century eggs, or pei-dan in Cantonese. They are eggs preserved in clay or ash, usually duck egg but can be chicken or quail.
About lamb: it's generally regarded as winter or cold weather food in China, hence, people in the south only eat lamb once or twice a year.
Interesting video as always. Thank you for posting.
reminds me of my youth when my grandad had a farm. When any local farm used to slaughter any live stock the farm would go around the other farms to see if anyone wanted some meat no payment was ever made just a swap of different types of meat. (grandad had cows the farm down the lane pigs and the one up the lane had chickens/turkeys)
Chinese like to do their grocery shopping daily. Nice walkaround, Lee 👍👍
It is hard to feed 1.4 billion food everyday,can people imagine that? Chinese government try their best to satisfy people's life there, how come some bad media always said it is bad country??
brilliant
Chicken feet more expensive than chicken breast!? Truly a China moment haha
I think the dark egg is a century egg
very interesting. Your camera was moving too fast. I didn't get to see what really those items are. I think I will eventually have to travel to China for a better look of many of these items that I have never seen. Thank you for your effort. its a thumb up for sure.
Prices for everything are expensive in Mexico
👍👍👍
8:00 century egg i think? great with congee
The huge Alaskan crab costs ¥480 per kilo, not ¥480 each.
Yes, I realize now...
That is century eggs.
So you're a British citizen ?
Pretty
You would be brave eating anything in China,
Hello, did you guys made a new channel where you and your son went to South Africa 🇿🇦. I don’t remember the video. Please and thank you.
The black eggs u seen are name century eggs mostly preserve duck egg .
You can think of China as the unified European Union, because China is almost as big as Europe. The climate between the north and the south is very different. Each province has its own language and food culture. At the same time, the food in each place is fundamentally different. There are 56 ethnic groups in China, and minorities The 55 ethnic groups have different food cultures and languages. Mandarin is spoken throughout the country, so there are so many types of food in China that you can’t imagine. You can eat different foods for every meal. It is a paradise for foodies. The most important thing is that it is the same day and night. Lively and very safe.
What is said to be "lamb" is actually goat meat.
A lot cleaner than what wester media portrays it. The dude placing the cleaver on top of a sewage/drainage grate at the 14:46 mark is questionable though.
16:40 US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen love Mushroom.
When I visited my mum, the chicken I was eating was alive 3 hours ago.
All is my favor 😂
Sorry to tell you, the market is quite the same all over Asia, South East Asiaalso the same. Local also go to those places.😂😊 anyway, your videos is great 👍👏👏👍🧠👍🍀🎄😁
The ‘black’ egg is the ‘century’ egg
Black ones are century eggs.
Your face in this video's thumbnail looks like some internet meme.
I notice the meat isn’t refrigerated - no thank you.
Is halal meat accessible?
Yes, there are many muslims in China, and Halal meat is available in many places
@BarrettYT thank you for clarifying . Really enjoy your content. Keep up the good work.
Century old eggs it is. Where’s your son?
Covid24 in the making.
You dare to eat,, with all the fake foods
Not much of a life for the crab. China is not known for animal welfare.
Animal welfare? Tens of thousands Palestinian people died because of genocide, ethnic cleansing and colonization. Where are the bleeding hearts? Don't be hypocritical.
at least we dont condone genocide
hate the accent though
🙏😀🙏👍🙏
