Green onions can be said to be a specialty of the north and a patent of northerners. Because of the climate, the green onions in the north can grow so big that many northerners eat them directly in the sauce, or eat them raw with steamed bread, pancakes and other foods. Perhaps this is unacceptable to many southerners, but it is the favorite of northerners. Besides serving as a side dish, green onions can also be used to make pies and wrap jiaozi. It's cold in winter in the north, so we eat a lot of pasta. If the pasta lacks the addition of green onions, I think the taste will be greatly reduced! It is precisely because of the large use and dosage of green onions that northern families buy them in bundles.
The north is also rich in green onions. Many farmers grow green onions at home and sell them in the market. So the price of green onions will be very cheap. Under such circumstances, many people will choose to buy a bundle of green onions at a time to go home. In winter, green onions are not only affordable, but also very resistant to release and easy to store. If it rains and snows, farmers may not come to the market to sell onions for a long time. In this case, they will be asked to buy a bundle in advance and put it at home for later use.
In short, onions are generally bought in bundles in the north for three main reasons: first, it is cheaper to buy them in bundles; The second is that it is more convenient to buy and eat in bundles; The last reason is that everyone is used to this way of buying. If you buy too little, the stall owner may not sell it.
