Eating 70% of the world's watermelons Chinese eat melons in the summer makes Koreans envious from the bottom of their hearts
Recent media reports: Korean watermelon is in short supply, the price is rising, a 10-kilogram watermelon in the supermarket is sold for nearly 50,000 won, about 300 yuan.
After seeing this news, netizens were very shocked, the comment area was even more hot discussion, the next day at work, specially asked the Korean colleague Kim Ji-yeon this question.
Kim Ji-yeon, a Korean, came to Shenzhen University to study in college, stayed in Shenzhen directly after graduation, and came to our company to take charge of the Korean market operation half a year ago.
Kim Ji-yeon looked at the hot search news of the price increase of Watermelon in South Korea, smiled bitterly and said to me: "My dream when I was a child was to buy a watermelon and eat it with a spoon, when I came to China, I found that people here ate like this, I was shocked at the time, and when I went to the supermarket, I found that you were really happy." ”
Kim Ji-yeon said that in the summer of South Korea, it costs 300 yuan to buy a watermelon, while in China a pound of watermelon is less than 3 yuan, and every melon I eat Chinese summer makes me, a Korean, envious from the bottom of my heart.
Suddenly remembered one thing, when Jin Zhiyan first came to the company, held a dinner party, the dishes were very rich, including watermelon this fruit, at that time Jin Zhiyan did not even eat meat, only stared at the watermelon to eat, at that time colleagues were still very curious, thinking that she simply loved to eat watermelon, when she left, the restaurant owner also packed a few pieces for her, very happy to thank the boss.
Jin Zhiyan said that when she first came to Shenzhen to study, she was very nervous and a little afraid to come over, and what she had heard on the news before was not good news.
But Kim Ji-yeon's father, who has been to Shenzhen twice on business, has a good impression of Shenzhen, so he is very relieved to let her come to China, and after arriving in China, he went to Shenzhen restaurant with a Korean friend for the first time to eat buffets.
After seeing the variety of fruits in the buffet, the two people couldn't even eat the barbecue, and kept eating watermelon and dragon fruit until their stomachs couldn't stop eating.
Kim Ji-yeon said: "Now that I think about it, it's a bit funny, when the customers around me watched us not eat barbecue meat, only watermelon fruit, they were shocked. ”
In South Korea, watermelons are bought by the number of pounds, the main reason is that the price of watermelon is too expensive, many people will not buy one to go home, even if they want to buy one, it is also to buy back everyone to share together, or eat for seven or eight days.
In South Korea, a 5-kilogram watermelon costs nearly 2,000 won, and the price of a kilogram is 26 yuan.
26 yuan, in Chinese supermarkets can buy a 10-pound watermelon, if in the countryside, watermelon price is cheaper, 26 yuan can buy three watermelons.
Seedless watermelon, the variety is sweeter, the taste of the better watermelon is more expensive, such as the Korean supermarket in the price of this watermelon sold for nearly 200,000 won, the contract of 1300 yuan.
Kim Ji-yeon said that in the streets of Seoul, South Korea, there are many fruit vendors selling chilled watermelons in the summer, all of which are purchased by piece, and the lowest price of a piece of watermelon is nearly 10 yuan, although the price is expensive, but there are many young people who buy it.
It is conceivable that such an expensive watermelon price, even if it is a rich person, does not dare to eat it casually.
Kim Ji-yeon's family belongs to the middle-class family in South Korea, and her parents work at Samsung, but Kim Ji-yeon has never achieved holding a watermelon and digging it with a spoon since she was a child.
Until she came to Shenzhen, she found that Chinese ate like this, turning on the air conditioner, holding a watermelon, holding a spoon in one hand, holding a mobile phone in the other, while chasing the drama, digging and eating.
Jin Zhiyan said: "You know, China's watermelon is really too cheap, sometimes the watermelon in the supermarket is more than 1 dollar a pound, every time I see this price I can't help but buy one back, in China for 6 years, the most fruit I eat is watermelon." ”
How fierce is Chinese eating melon? According to statistics, 70% of the world's watermelons are eaten by Chinese every year, and eating watermelons in China has become a unified way for 1.4 billion people to spend the summer.
