In China, buying anything requires deep thought, cunning planning, strategic foresight, preparing for the unexpected, and being extra cautious... it's not just electric cars that are full of pitfalls. Buying groceries is just as tricky. For example: when you buy a carton of 24 eggs, the ones around the edges are big, but the ones in the middle are all small. When you buy strawberries in a basket, the top layer is always large, while the ones underneath are always small and rotten. When you buy cooked food, no matter which day you ask when it was made, the answer is always today. If you want to buy 10 yuan worth of tofu, you must say you want 6 yuan worth. When buying fish or shrimp, if you ask when they died, the answer is always just now. When you buy NFC (Not From Concentrate) 100% juice, their NFC isn't a production process; it's a trademark name they applied for. When buying meat, it's best to buy from open-air stalls; otherwise, everything is under a bright red light. If you buy vegetables from an old lady on the street or at a neighborhood entrance, they might be goods she just bought from the wholesale market. She's also very particular when sourcing, only choosing the small ones, preferably with a few wormholes. If you see an old lady selling "free-range" eggs again, she usually processes them after sourcing by sticking on some dirt that looks like chicken droppings. Also, the sellers judge by appearance. If you're dressed well and look classy, or as ordinary folks say, if you look like you have money, the vegetable price will inevitably double. Those tomatoes with fancy labels might not necessarily be a premium brand; maybe the bad part is just covered up. When buying pork ribs, if they chop them for you, keep a close eye on that tall chopping board, as they might swap out a few pieces or give you fewer. The evil within a system often spreads from the top down.
