I am trying to get a quick post in before my Chinese lesson and then a quick trip to the Railway station market. This market is where the locals come and shop, even those who have stores elsewhere in the city. They come and buy at wholesale price to sell at a margin elsewhere. There is also a street market that is fun. You can buy five pairs of summer socks for five RMB. However, forget big sizes. You do not find things big here--most are Chinese sizes. You can even find bras on sale at the streets. You just try for size on top of your clothes. I was too chicken to take pictures. I will try to take pictures this time. The Chinese young adults are always taking pictures.
A sheet of tofu
The above is a picture of a sheet of tofu. You buy it by the weight and julienne it. Add cucumbers and carrots, sliced the same way. Season with vinegar, sugar and salt with a little sesame oil and you have a delicious cold salad. It keeps really well, too, in the refrigerator.
Here is a tube of soya bean milk, which I really love. It only cost 1.5 Yuan and is unsweetened. Yes, it is about three cups. I have this milk for breakfast every time I go to the wet market and get it fresh. On non-market days, it is instant Nestle coffee with milk for me. I have to go now.
