the most direct way to understand the local customs should be its breakfast shops.

It's almost a year since I came to Africa, and the early arrival of South Sudanese left me with an intuitive feeling different from that at home.

the plan of the day lies in the morning. In the minds of Chinese people, the early bird catches the worm, so breakfast is called breakfast, in order to subconsciously remind people to get up early to eat and work. In South Sudan, there is no such concept at all.

8% of people here can only eat two meals a day, and it is good for the remaining 2% to have one meal a day. Therefore, a meal in the morning is basically around 1 am, completely losing the meaning of "breakfast" in the impression of Chinese people.

Breakfast shops in South Sudan are not like those in China, and there are no fixed shops. There are good places under the mango tree and next to the shack. Without the harassment of the health supervision department and the eyeing of the urban management, everything is a natural state. A few plastic chairs, a earthen stove set up by three small stones, and a aluminum pot laid out lazily are all the possessions.

The main food for breakfast is Tuantuan made of corn flour, which is fried into golden yellow in the oil pan. The color is bright and beautiful. 1 South Sudanese pounds (equivalent to RMB .12), and locals are generally only willing to buy five.

Another breakfast food is cassava (similar to domestic sweet potato). After peeling, it is cut into blocks and fried in oil pan, which is very popular among local people. The price is about 5 South Sudanese pounds.

Onions are a favorite food of South Sudanese and are indispensable for every meal. There are two ways to eat onions. The most common way is to slice them and stir them with tomatoes to make a salad.

Another and most luxurious way to eat is to mix beef and tomatoes and stew them with spices unique to Africa. Of course, this kind of eating method is not enjoyed by ordinary people every day in South Sudan, where there is a last meal but no next meal.

beef is the main meat source of South Sudanese. The beef in South Sudan is tender, fat but not greasy, and delicious but not greasy. The weather in South Sudan is very hot, flies are flying everywhere, and there is no water supply system in the city. The beef in the breakfast shop is handmade without washing, and it is original and natural. It is definitely not the average person who has the courage to try it early.

black tea is a must for South Sudanese people in the morning, which is equivalent to porridge or soybean milk for China people in the morning. This kind of black tea is produced in Kenya and is called black tea by local people. Obviously it is black tea, why are the locals called "black tea"? Maybe it's a convention, or it's because coffee and brown sugar are added to black tea.

Sugar is the main energy source of South Sudanese, and South Sudanese have an extraordinary obsession with sugar. I can't imagine what South Sudan would be like without sugar.

In China, besides cheap and good quality, there must be "beauty of xx" in breakfast shops with good business, and South Sudan is no exception.

Look at this "beauty of onion", how dedicated his expression is and how skillful his knife is. . . . . .

and this "beauty of black tea", with a flowery smile and trembling branches, makes people love. . . . . .

this "beauty of tomato" has a graceful back and a delicate figure, and seems to be used to seeing romantic affairs. . . . . .

this one seems to be weather-beaten, but if you take a closer look, you will be charming and enchanting. . . . . .

where there is beauty, there must be many people. . . . . .

everyone loves beauty, and Chinese people are no exception. . . . . .

With Xi Shi gone, most diners have lost interest. . . . . .

This is Xi Shi's sister from Zaodian. She is a typical beauty in South Sudan.

these are the people who have finished breakfast, feeling comfortable and complacent, and feeling a little integrated with nature. . . . . .

It's easy to enjoy the cool under a big tree. The best leisure center in South Sudan is not a hollow reputation. . . . . .

it's so delicious and beautiful that some people can turn a blind eye to it. . . . . .

it is impossible to be indifferent to such delicious food every day. Once, I couldn't resist my inner impulse and bought five fried fruits for my teammates to taste with 5 pounds. Teammates have different opinions about food, such as admiration, chewing like chicken ribs, and so on.

Maybe there are many possibilities for the composition of protease in human stomach before it develops. Later, with the different types of food entering the small intestine, the types and structures of protease began to form and even become fixed. This can explain why some people are easily acclimatized when they go to a foreign land. In fact, it may be that their appetite is resisting the food combination they are not familiar with.

when people are in a foreign land, they are tasting snacks, and the aftertaste may be culture. After thousands of years in South Sudan, local food has solidified people's taste buds. These fried foods, Huang Liang's food and dark skin make the South Sudanese truly rough and energetic.

The breakfast in South Sudan is not too bizarre and meaningless. No matter who you are, under the big tree, you can feel the vicissitudes of the world with the scorching sun and breeze, a few fried fruits and a cup of black tea water. No matter how poor you are, perhaps only here can you enjoy the most calm and simple taste.
