Eating is one thing that everyone needs to experience every day, whether rich or poor, food and clothing still need to be solved, of course, the more money spent, the better the food, especially in Western countries, this difference can almost be said to be visible to the naked eye.
In their eyes, rice is not called rice, but cooking, and every cooking process of the food is carefully made by them, so that the dishes presented are both beautiful and delicious.
In many countries, they often like to talk about class, as long as they can do things that reflect their noble status, they are willing to add synonyms for class.
This is true in Western countries, but what about China? On the American version of Zhihu, a foreigner asked: What kind of food do the poor in China eat?
As a Chinese, it is worth pondering this question carefully, as if for us, the food of the poor and the rich seems to be really the same, nothing more than some grains.
In many places in China, you can have a full meal for almost a few yuan, and the ultra-low prices of the Harbin morning market, which exploded some time ago, have almost refreshed many people's cognition, and even some netizens joked: Take ten yuan to enter the Harbin morning market, and you can buy a day's meal.
To be honest, it sounds really exaggerated, but it is indeed real, these foods are cheap and hygienic, whether rich or poor, who looks at it and who is not confused, after all, it is really delicious.
A Chinese netizen posted about the food at the construction site with the caption: These foods are for the poor.
Indeed, many construction site workers can almost save on the cost of eating every day, and because their daily workload is very physically demanding, all their meals are generally larger than the average person.
But even if you take a big bowl to the canteen of a construction site to make a meal, it may be the most expensive and the most expensive is about a dozen yuan, and you can still eat all-you-can-eat.
Foreign netizens also commented on this, they think that these foods seem to be very environmentally friendly, mainly some vegetables and carbohydrates (that is, rice), although there is little meat, but this is completely in line with the trend of modern society.
As soon as such an evaluation came out, many foreign netizens agreed, modern society focuses on a healthy diet, less meat and less greasy, although cheap food has no meat, but it is very healthy in terms of food pairing and nutritional value.
On the other hand, in Western countries, most of their poor food is based on some fast food, most of which are simple and low-cost foods such as hamburgers, fries, and fried chicken.
Friends who often watch foreign cooking shows should understand that these foods are almost all a kind of food that cannot be put on the table, in fact, think about it carefully, what is a burger like? Isn't it very much like a Chinese meat bun, nothing more than one is bread and the other is steamed bun.
And you should know that the process of making steamed buns is much cleaner than the bread base of a hamburger, although it doesn't look as good as a hamburger, but it is indeed very healthy.
Of course, for China, a big food country, health alone is far from enough, our cheap food is not only healthy but also delicious!
In China, noodles and flour food are relatively common, these foods are low cost, and the practices are also very diverse, different ingredients can bring different deliciousness, even in big cities, a bowl of noodles or noodles is about ten or twenty yuan, which is the normal expenditure of a meal for the average family.
The gap between the rich and the poor is actually a bit difficult to define for Chinese food, and many people can find that a large dish in China is not necessarily as delicious as a dozen yuan of food on the side of the road.
Take the barbecue on the side of the road as an example, even if you eat a lot, the average share of a meal is only a few dozen yuan, and in the summer, it is very comfortable for three or five friends to eat skewers and drink beer, even if they are rich, they will enjoy this kind of life.
It may be said that a person earns 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month, but in China, his daily food will still be whole grains, which is almost no different from the so-called poor people's food, and the class gap in Chinese food will always depend only on the place of dining.
A netizen in Chongqing commented that in Chongqing, such a noodle only costs two dollars, if you don't want meat, then almost a bowl only costs one dollar**, according to the standard of wages in Chongqing, such a ** can be said to be affordable for everyone.
Noodle restaurants like this can be said to abound in China, and their marketing method of small profits and quick turnover can also make many people buy it, which is also the favorite marketing method of the people.
And in China, meat is generally much more expensive than vegetables, so it is rare to find meat in cheap meals, but it is different in Western countries, and their poor people's meals are some fried chicken and other fast food.
According to Chinese prices, KFC McDonald's is much more expensive in China, and this is because eating fast food is not for Chinese people to solve the problem of food and clothing, but to try a culture, nothing more.
This netizen's comment is very pertinent, there are always some inconspicuous noodle shops or restaurants on the streets and alleys of China, customers only need to use a very low **, they can be exchanged for food and clothing, and because there is almost no meat in the meal, the store can also rely on sales to make profits, which is not the best of both worlds?
Let's talk about these fast foods in Western countries, these fast foods can be said to be industrial products in the eyes of foreigners, because they can be mass-produced, made, and all the steps are very simple, so they are very cheap abroad, and few people eat them.
In China, on the basis of the original food, the Chinese will make some improvements in the formula, so that the fast food that has no nutrition becomes nutritious and the taste and texture has been sublimated, which is why ** will be much more expensive than abroad.
But these fast foods are not a necessary food in China, and many families may not eat them once in ten days and half a month, because it is true that this kind of food does not meet the eating habits of Chinese.
For the Chinese, eating is indispensable, and the Chinese know very well what it feels like to be hungry, so they would rather not make money than let the poor eat well, which is the upbringing engraved in the bones of the Chinese.
Even if they are vagrants who have no financial ability at all, many restaurant owners will launch love food, which adds a lot of warmth to this society.
