而且在南方，据说冬瓜是论块儿卖。有网友说：“一块儿冬瓜足够做两顿菜！”而在北方，这简直是不可能的。一位北方网友说：“我们当然买一整个冬瓜，否则，另外半个谁愿意买啊。”

Because of this, cultural shocks are certainly inevitable. "Yesterday, I was going to buy just two celery stalks, but the stall owner was unwilling to weigh them and gave them to me for free," said a Cantonese netizen who just moved to Northeast China.

正因如此，文化冲击不可避免。一位刚刚移居到东北的广东网友说：“昨天我去买两根芹菜，老板不愿意称，直接送我了。”

北方老板不愿意为两根芹菜费事，而南方老板却提供剥壳削皮/切片/切块等业务。

"Vegetable vendors in Chengdu not only let me buy a very small amount of potatoes and lettuce, but even offered to help me peel them. I was so overwhelmed!" said a netizen from the north.

一位北方网友说：“我在成都，买个土豆，买根莴笋，老板都要帮我削皮，什么菜都可以一点点买，真好！”

不仅是买菜，买水果上也显出了这样的差异。

再来看看买肉……

Experts say that the difference is due to the varied climate. Groceries can be stored for a relatively long time in the north as it is usually cold and dry there. Nevertheless, the comparatively hot and humid weather in the south compels southern Chinese to buy just enough for one meal or one day, otherwise it might go bad.

专家表示，这种差异与南北方不同的气候有关。北方通常寒冷干燥，食品可以存储更久的时间。而南方相对更加湿热，这使得南方人一次只买一顿或者一天的菜，否则会坏掉。

一起来看看，那些年我们吐槽过的南北差异……
