◎ Editor's Choice☆ The bustling bustle of traditional Chinese markets, with their diverse array of delicious and fun things to do, allows children to experience the warmth and happiness of everyday life amidst the vibrant atmosphere. The hot air balloon Qiu's family lives in a small town. Today, Qiu is delighted because Grandma took her to the market! There are so many things Qiu loves: breakfast stalls offering a variety of snacks, tiny goldfish, sparkling jewelry, bustling crowds, the constant hawking of vendors... and all sorts of quirky stalls, from medicine vendors to barbers to plumbers... Today, the simplicity, liveliness, and liveliness of small towns seem increasingly distant from our lives. This book allows us, accustomed to city life in supermarkets and shopping malls, to return to the ordinary yet heartwarming scenes of everyday life, to experience the richness and vitality of life.
A picture book that children will enjoy reading, weaving together the joy of being with their grandparents. The Chinese grandparent-grandchild bond unlocks the emotional codes of Chinese people, creating beautiful moments for children, allowing them to experience the love of family and the beauty of childhood. Grandma looks at her shopping list, pausing at a vegetable stall, then chatting and bargaining with the spice shop owner, then buying Grandpa's favorite bitter melon. But Qiuqiu's mind is full of fried crispy pork! Grandma promised to make it for her on the weekend, but Qiuqiu wants to eat it today... When Grandma is about to buy hairtail, Qiuqiu can't wait any longer and decides to buy the fried pork herself! Unfortunately, she needs money, and she doesn't have it. Qiuqiu stands in front of the fried pork stall, anxious and on the verge of tears, when a familiar voice calls out from behind her, "Qiuqiu, why are you alone? Where's your grandma?"
This panoramic re-creation of small-town life allows children to connect with their parents' childhoods, bridge the generational divide between parents born in the 1980s and 1990s and their children born in the 2010s, foster intergenerational identity, and promote mutual understanding and tolerance. The market is a microcosm of society. Over the past two decades, China's rapid urbanization has widened the gap between urban and rural areas. This book cleverly allows children to experience the joys of small-town life and foster mutual understanding with their parents.
☆ The regional characteristics and unique culinary culture of the mountain city of Chongqing allow children to explore China's diverse culinary culture. A bonus recipe for fried crispy pork is included with the book, allowing you to try it yourself. In this story, residential buildings are built according to the terrain, and residents travel up and down Chongqing's rugged "mountain roads." Grandma's shopping list includes tripe, duck intestines, bamboo shoots, tofu cakes, erjingtiao, bell peppers, and fermented broad bean paste... There are also specialties like dingding candy, fried crispy pork, and small noodles...
◎ Introduction "Grandma, I want to go grocery shopping with you too. I can help you carry small things!"
"Okay, when you get to the market, listen to grandma and don't run around."
Qiuqiu and her grandmother met Grandpa Wang on their way to the market. "Good morning, Grandpa Wang, have you seen the fried crispy pork?" "Yes, there's a long line."
Qiuqiu's mind was now preoccupied with fried pork. But her grandmother went off to buy vegetables, then fruit, and spent most of the day at the spice stall. When her grandmother stopped at the hairtail stall again, Qiuqiu decided to go get some fried pork herself! Oh no! Fried pork required money, and she didn't have any. Qiuqiu stood in front of the fried pork stall, anxious and on the verge of tears, when a familiar voice called out from behind her, "Qiuqiu, why are you alone? Where's your grandmother?"
◎ Celebrity recommendation This is a book that can make mothers and grandmothers happy. Children can also understand Qiuqiu's desire to eat delicious fried crispy pork in a tense atmosphere. The author's charming pictures also make this book more interesting and vivid.
