In the Chenggong Market, a variety of things are sold. Some commodities are sold, some foodstuffs are sold. In Chinese culture, there are no prohibitions regarding food. There is no prohibition against eating beef like Hindus, or pork like Muslims. The Chinese are said to eat everything with four legs except a desk and a chair, so a wide variety of meats, including offal, were sold at the market. I don't think there are many offal dishes in Chinese restaurants in Japan, but it seems to be common to eat guts here.
While wandering around the market, I came to one of the many butcher shops. A man wearing an apron was working. He is holding a small kitchen knife in his right hand, and his left hand is holding a piece of meat. Is it pork? The man was in the process of slicing the meat with the knife in his hand. I watched his familiar handiwork. When he noticed that I was holding up the camera, he smiled at me without stopping his work.
