25 Oct'2011, CNRIFFI


We went to Yashow Market 雅秀市场 this morning, to the CNRIFFI 中国食品发酵工业研究院 in the afternoon and to Silk Street 秀水街 at night. It was an enjoyable day, I'm glad to visit this research institute. **) Everybody seems to work hard and very diligent.

They  had set up 7 R&D departments including Food Engineering, Fermentation Engineering, Brewery Engineering, Food Safety, Standard and Information, Functional Peptide Industrialization and Department of Scientific Planning and International Cooperation.

They are really into the liquor technology, you can smell the alcohol all around the 5th and 6th floor. They own microorganisms bank, million microorganisms have been collected for years and kept it in a very good way. As far as I can see, the working environment there is good. I wish some of my friends can work here later. 

雅秀市场, Yashow Market is located near our hotel, while 秀水 or Silk Street is located near near Wangfujing, the line 1 metro subway. To go to Silk Street, we took a subway from 三元桥 Sanyuanqiao to 永安里 Yonganli for 2 RMB and shopped for 2.5 hours. Bargain is not my favorite, still. Why? Because I understand what the sellers are saying. I really appreciate if you don't curse me. Btw, these markets are specialized to accommodate foreign customers, it's my first time to see a whole building full with foreigners in China **) and most of the sellers speak English and even other countries language. I even heard some of them use French and Russian language chatting. 

I bought Scrat from Ice Age there. Finally, he got the nut!
