An elderly woman wearing a flowery dress was working at Chongde Market in Tainan. She was sitting at the counter of a butcher shop in the market. There was a large plate in front of her with a pile of minced meat on it.
The woman was just in the middle of making wontons. Using a spatula, she took a good amount of the minced meat and wrapped it in the skin. She was wrapping the wontons one after another with a skillful hand, and the wontons kept coming. Wontons are also a common ingredient in Tainan.
As I stared at her fluid handiwork, the height of the pile of minced meat gradually decreased in inverse proportion to the number of wontons being made.
