There was no refrigerator in the countryside before, so the food was not well preserved. Even today, people are willing to buy fresher food, and the taste of frozen ingredients is much lower. This is the reason why this proverb came into being. So how do you understand the saying that you can't buy pork in the morning and tofu at night?

When selling pork, vendors may not sell all the pork in one day. After all, there is a saying in the countryside that if pork is sold quickly at the party, it will be sold out soon. But if it is closed, the selling speed of pork will be reduced, and few people will buy it, so it will not be sold out in the afternoon.

Naturally, these butchers will not be discarded. Everyone will soak in the water all night. If it were today, everyone would put it in the refrigerator and sell it the next morning. Therefore, when buying pork, try not to choose it in the morning, otherwise you may buy pork that was not fresh yesterday, and the taste will drop, even if it is put in the refrigerator, the taste will drop.

But on the other hand, if you buy pork late, you may only buy leftover meat, which is not very delicious.

Of course, you can't buy tofu too late, mainly because tofu is easy to turn sour after being left for a long time. After all, it is not conducive to preservation. From morning to afternoon, it may turn sour because of the hot weather, and you can't eat it at that time. Even if it doesn't taste bad, the taste will drop.

However, as far as my life is concerned, tofu sells quickly. I can't buy it every time I go late. The stall owner can sell several tables of tofu a day. Therefore, this proverb should be based on the reality of life. Nowadays, the purchasing power in rural areas is strong, and pork and tofu are hot-selling foods, which are difficult to sell!
