Which excellent Chinese children do not like tofu?

A few years ago when I moved my home to the Provence countryside in France, the first thing I did was to find out where the nearest Chinese supermarket was, in order to buy tofu.

I later discovered that I was constrained by narrow nationalism, and my ideas were too international, because there were tofu in local French supermarkets, and they were produced by French food companies.

The brand below actually uses soybeans grown in Provence. Isn’t this where I live! Recalling that I had previously run the Super League to buy tofu, and I could not help leaving tears of remorse for trade conservatism. At this moment, it is no longer a piece of tofu, it is the shining light of global integration, and the rolling wheel of the community of human destiny!

Tofu is the first word, basically salad. This is the main battlefield of tofu in France. Baihuahua’s tofu is eaten raw like this, Sona’s beany smell is like a ghost in white wandering in front of my eyes …
