I am from Vietnam and Vietnamese people are really scared to buy vegies or fruits or meat from China . We do not trust them how they grow and what chemicals they put in or feed the pigs or cows
I either use my own bags or paper bags that can be recycled from Wholefoods here in Boston. But the amount of plastics they use in China, we can never balance out their consumption/destruction.
Is the video subject generated by ChatGPT? So many emojis.😄

Who is willing to exchange nationalities with me? I am a Chinese and I am serious. Even if I call you grandpa or grandma, who is willing to switch with me?

Why do you want to exchange it?
@@andimulyo6048 This is a very good question, but I can only answer you privately, because before I answered someone else, I was jointly reported by the Internet forces controlled by China! Banned me! Foreign networks are controlled by China! If you tell the truth, you will be banned. If you want to know, you can tell me your chat tool. I was banned for two days in a row just because I told the truth behind Chinese cities. The Chinese economy is evil and inhumane. Anyway, if you tell the truth about China, you will be banned. What do you think is going on?
I like it that everyone just didn’t pay TOO much attention to you. I think they’ve been used to you😊
One more follower ! Yeah ! 😇
@Tsyjzyt ". . . everyone just didn’t pay much attention to you." I pay attention. 😄😄

The cool thing about China is they build side walks with tactile and stylish bus stands even for small villages like this.

Katherine is so accustomed to rural China life, she is already a member of the community. Her Mandarin, too, sounds like that of a local. Katherine, enjoy your life in China.
One of the perks of living in Asia is even small villages have buses connecting you everywhere. Chinese markets are the best. I made a trip to Yunnan province this summer and I still dream about the huge and fresh farmer's markets there. I used to hate grocery shopping living in the US, but now I try to grocery shop at farmer's markets every few days. Love your village life in my home country - makes me want to get a place in a village soon.
Stella you should all move back it will be good for you
Public transportation in China is the best.
it's basically impossible to get permanent housing in the village if you are not born into a farmer's household. It's a legal issue.
@@liangjiang3122 You are not a farmer, why do you want to seize farmers’ land? Do you think it’s still the period of geographical discovery?
I wish I can hit the like button 101 times! Just love to see Katherine and this episode....
@yung-chengchang3905 me too😄
We have similar markets here in Foshan, even though we are a big city. We walk to the local village to buy what we need. Love the veggies here in China. The mushrooms are great, and there are so many kinds too.
I was in foshan in October. I love this place. I like it more then Guangzhou. Glad pandemic restrictions have ended.
Where in foshan do you stay?
以后回国了也要和你过一样的生活。这样的日子太美好了。
Looks like you are living a peaceful and wonderful life there.
中国的农村是很平静的。
中国是很安全的

You blend in well with the locals Katherine 😂😂!!! Village life makes you more radiant, settled and happier ❤❤!!
Envy you. You've got a fresher and greater selection than we have in a large British city supermarket.
The quality and variety of fruits and vegetables are generally poor in British supermarkets. The fruits on sale are not fully ripen and therefore tend to be sour and almost inedible.
the word "fresh" does not mean the same between English and Chinese.
@@Raymond_Lee888 Many of the fruits and vegetables are imported from abroad because the climate is not suitable to grow them. The fruits are picked before they are fully ripen to allow for shipment time and many reach the supermarket shelves unripen and unsweetened.
My father lived in Shenzhen and would go to Hong Kong to shop groceries because the level of food quality and food safety is much higher even if it's grown in China. As soon as it crossed the border, there was much stricter controls. Just because it's fresher and laid out by a cute auntie doesn't make it better or safer to eat. This appeal to ruralism/naturalism fallacy is nonsensical.
@@Jombozeus 你鬼扯什么？在香港买蔬菜瓜果的价格，你在深圳买只会更好。每年几百万港人来深圳吃饭点外卖，你瞎了看不见？

I would say, that makes a smooth business for farmers to sell their crops, fruits, vegetables, and other food products in a market of rural China.
Amazing to see so much fresh vegetables, meat and even fresh fish in winter. Truly much progress has been made since 1980. Loved the word noodle -able. Yes, I am used to noodles made from different ingredients and even flour made from different grains not jus wheat. Another great video of riral life that is not lacking in daily staples. Seeing you came from a rural Virginia this new place of yours must feel like home in a way. Time to bring your parents over to see your new dog👍👍👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Katherine's parents seem to be sinophobic.
The natural farm market has existed in 1970s. I actually went to market to sell fresh crabs and shrimps my father got from rivers in the early morning, when I was in elementary school. The private reserved land for farmers own use to grow vegetables was always there when I could remember.
You're living the life, Katherine! Most of us have to work 40 to 50 years, then retire, to live a life like that. And the scenic views...Holy Guacamole!!!
I love this kind of farmers' market, cause the local produce have enough time to grow and get matured in the field, they have enough time for the natural flavours to develop and accumulate.
祝福你❤️希望你永远快乐。爱来自深圳。
串儿吧，这语言
Good evening (morning) from Florida. I really enjoyed this tour. Thank you.
I really do prefer these to supermarkets.
I really like the videos about life in rural China.
It seems like such a peaceful and fun life. 😊
Would love to live in a place like this in the future too☺️
It's hard to make money in a place like this, and wages are very low.
@@user-ws3db1jw3xDon’t forget that prices are also very low
@@user-ws3db1jw3x but everything else is also cheap so it works out
农村的好处就是精神生活得到提升，吃的都是原生态的，住的环境也比城市好，而且现在基本全国都通电通网，如果不是想发财农村就是非常好的选择，不过现在中国人都非常愿意去大城市打工赚钱，想要过的更好，不会安于现状，这也是农村年轻人少的原因。这点与国外的人思想可能不一样。
Yay! Thank you for sharing daily life... we were definitely curious about shopping etc.
I like that you Titled "Farmer's Market" on the thumb nail. In the west, they only called it wet market for China, while at home in the States, they rave about supporting the farmer's market.
actually one of the biggest Chinese E commercial giants wanted to buy up those markets but Chinese government stopped it. they don't want big business to eliminate small businesses.
another thing is in China famrer's market is cheaper than supermarket.
Isn't that great? How often can you find fresher and cheaper all in one sentence.@@hong3170
They try to play down China, 'wet market', give it a feel like dirty, primitive, and low. but in fact, Fresh Market is exact and appropriate. Fresh meat, fish, vegetables, and fruits taste much better.
The powerhouse like Carrefour, Walmart, want to see it go away, but these markets are heavily ingrained in their culture. @@alfalee2798
hypocrisy is middle name for those you know who. ha...................................................
6点到6点半的菜市是早市，全国各地都有，早市并不是很一般没人去，反而是非常热闹的。早市的特点一般是货品新鲜、物美价廉、摩肩接踵，你可以去体验下。
Nice video. Fun trip to the local shopping center.
Tks for taking us with you to your grocery tour.
Another informative video about living at a local level! Thank you for sharing and educating us!!!
what a fun experience, Katie-- Thanks for the ride and walk along.
What a experience! People are nice to you. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video, Kat. Well done 👏👏💪🙏
Haha, love the word ‘noodle-able’. A truly entertaining and enjoyable trip to the market. Thanks!
I love your subject matters and your perspectives
My best wishes for you this holiday season. You are such an amazing person, Kats! My favorite!
Thanks for posting your videos. Watching them is very therapeutic. Your work is excellent!!!!!
I love your vlogs, makes me miss China
Thank you Katherine for showing this shopping experience in a rural setting.
In the Caribbean, at least in Jamaica, pigs tail is a favourite cooked with red beans and served with rice, yummy!
Hey Katherine, would love to see some cooking episodes where you prepare some dishes from the groceries that you've bought.
I leaned a lot about China from your videos. Thank you!
Thanks for delivering such a peaceful vibe through this video.
中国的农村大多是这样😂
So much organic looking veggies and fresh fish and meats! Fantastic! Lucky you Katherine! 👍🥰☮️
买个小拉车呀美女，手提着太累啦，小拉车是出门买菜的标配😄
应该买辆电动车，骑着去，就不用等公交了。
骑自行车去就好
@@ctyhk1997 冬天骑车要命
反正不着急，等等公交也无所谓@@ctyhk1997
When people say that China's losing money on its transit systems/not making profits, but seeing that regular bus service to a tiny village tells a different story. Is that bus route making money? probably not, but it brings people and goods to other cities and towns, which helps those other local economies. You can cook the pig tails just the same way as ox tails... just a lot less meat. 😅😅😅
I've heard that silly thing before too , it's a public service for the people not a for profit enterprise. by that same logic the US public school system is also "losing money" 😂
@@kats_journey_east Sadly US (and even Canada) are starting to lose sight what SHOULD be for the public service and what is for profit..... Oh, not sure if its the same in your rural markets, but usually at the markets I go to near closing time, they do big price drops for their produce because they just want to sell it all.... Great time to pickup cheap fruits. :)
Public services are not, should not be profitable, it's there for the convenience, safety and wellbeing of the people at large, not just for those who can pay. Imagine having to pay a large sum of money for a government hospital ambulance service when it should have been free.
@@omegabulldog5001You obviously have no idea how much an ambulance service in USA cost. 😂😂😂
@@hclau218 of course I don't know that because I am a Malaysian and as far as I know ambulance services in Malaysia cost little for citizens. Basic medical services wise, it's literally cheap or even free at government hospitals.
Love it 😍 Thank you for sharing your true beautiful peaceful China with us 🎉👍👏🌟🎈
Heh,,,,,, ,,, good to see U continue to keep on moving around China
She settled.
Thanks for sharing and pointing out the differences between the two countries
please do more visiting market videos i just love the normal day stuff :)
Love it kat! Honestly the market like this is my fav! Everything is so fresh! I recently returned to china for a month and loved market shopping! Keep sharing your country living ❤
Such a great video! Thanks so much for sharing! 👍
Very refreshing feeling seeing all the green surrounding. I now understand why you chose this place to live. 👍
What a beautiful small town with a peaceful life, love it.
Love how you're part of the community ❤
Awesome vlog, somehow such day to day and normal market vlog feels just right
Fresh and peaceful rural life ❤👍
Beautiful as always. I want to live a life there. So calm and relaxed.
This was such a nostalgic trip down memory lane, especially the market! Happy seeing you live your best life in rural Zhejiang in the mountains and bringing us along.
Katherine... you are living a dream life in a wonderful part of an amazing country. Many thanks for this blog. I am looking forward to returning to China this April and I always stay for as long as my american visa allows, 6o days I love CHINA💜💜💜
Thanks for your suggestion,😃@@xz7359

Welcome to China Robert ❤

Thank you for sharing! Love your youtube videos!
I actually wondered where do people in the village buy their groceries and this video is reassuring. Getting there early is the key and the market looks great, and it's not too far from your house, although I can see you do have a lot to carry. Can't beat the fresh produce. I hope what you got is enough for the week. I would assume that the prices are also lower here than the big cities.
I highly doubt she bought a week's supply, that will completely remove the meaning of "fresh". Typically in China people do grocery shopping daily.
一般村镇的东西新鲜又便宜，就是上班比较难也没有什么高收入的工作。
@@lololu1426 和城市比差距还是太大了，有钱过着还行，不然教育、医疗都会是些问题。
Watching your videos makes me really miss China. It’s as most 20 years since I’ve been there, but my heart never left China.
I enjoy these videos alot. Keep it up! ❤❤❤❤
New word! Noodleable! lol Cute! Feel like I am there with you! TY
We can see this is one chore you really love doing and we really enjoyed watching! :D
All of this is true. And we could learn a lot from Chinese people and culture. Thank you for showing and sharing these movies. They are wonderful.
Love this vlog !!!
another great vid, good video production too!
Love this life! Learnt a new word "noodle-able…". so cute 😊
It is 粉条，not noodle,noddle is 面条，produce is Completely different
After the mutton soup is cooked, you can place 3 bamboo leaves on the edge of the pot as decoration to increase appetite.
非常喜欢这种接地气的视频，而且你的中文说得好好，完全融入了当地人的生活，真心为你高兴！！
Thank You Katherine For Making Fun and Interesting Videos To Share With Us. Love From The United States Of America In Los Angeles, California.
I like noddles but your “noddle-able” made me want more noddles😂😂😂
Good night ! Here is 10:10 a.m. You bring me back to you again, but this time i have waited longer. I can feel the market's vibe and smell the fresh odor, even imaging the smelling and delicious taste when cooking what you have bought .When i was a child sometimes my mom took me to the similar market. Now is winter, keep warm 24/7, taking care of yourself ......
oh wow, great variety in rural china
Very lovely rural Lifestyle. I love this kind of “farmer market” and the interactions with the vendors.
农贸市场基本都是由农民自种自销，含带批发。
I love the skinny chickens roaming the fields and leading happy lives. They are the best!
I live in Eastern North Carolina now. I would love to see this kind of fresh farmer's market!!!!
I like to live there for a while. Thanks for sharing your daily life with us.
I can tell you are having and enjoying a great time there in China from your brilliant look! What a relaxing, peaceful life it is, let alone the rich choices of delicious foods! Watching this video uplifts my mood by knowing the beautiful side of the world, so thank you a lot! Enjoy and take good care of yourself!
Yup, an immersive video indeed ..
you really enjoy your life😍
Sooo many choices of delightful mouth watering really fresh fresh produce with vibrant colors.
gosh the mountain is beautiful
Thank you for giving a glimpse of your country life in China. It is really enjoyable to watch videos like this. I am wondering how those "away-from-camera" shots were taken. Did you ask passerbys to take those shots for you?
Wow , thats amazing to see a big fresh market in a village in China that clean , organized & well kept . People are easy going , helpful giving you respect all the way !
All this are true.I live at a rural area in Zhejiang Province.
i can feel the fresh air maaannn
What a lovely vlog Katherine!! The music was super lovely!!! I learnt a new word - Noodle - able! Like your commentary and vocabulary so so much!
glad you like the videos, happy new year ！
@@kats_journey_east Happy New Year Katherine!
“These chickens are butchered by hand. Thanks.” She doesn’t mince words
Home made butchering, best butchering !
You can also buy machine butchered chicken. It may taste slightly different.
Hats off to you Katherine! I am Malaysian Chinese & hve migrated to Australia 30 odd years now and my hats off to you for doing what I had done when I lived in KL. However, the food, veg & fruit you’re eating is not processed nor fumigated with chemicals unlike here in big city. You will live much healthier live. It’s a choice of not so convenient but healthy live versus convenient but contaminated & not so healthy live (to a certain degree)
Beautiful info with Yr marketing in a little village great
I love the markets in China and all the different kinds of seasonal vegetables and wild vegetables they have.
Do do do do make a video of how and what kind of meals you make in your new kitchen!
Coming soon😎
Katherine, you can buy a small cart to put all your stuff in or buy an electric bike.
What a vibe ❤
Your channel and movies are so beautiful. Thank you for producing and sharing your kind heart cinema.
I love that kind of shopping experience.！😊
猪尾巴好吃，比肉贵，很多卤菜摊上的卤猪尾巴比卤猪脚好好吃，吃起来很过瘾。The pig'stail is delicious.Chiken"s claw,pig's tail is not offen eaten in American,but in China,it's very very good things to eat.
The good vibes in this video are just awesome. The place is so beautiful, calming, relaxing and clean. Good to see you are enjoying your rural life there.
All the best!
chinese is so nice to who from anywhere。
Waiting to watch your cooking next.
Interesting, what is otherwise a mundane exercise going for grocery stock up! You live in such a beautiful house and neighbourhood with friendly neighbours and a clean fresh market with all the groceries one needs! And the fruits! Lucky you Kath!
