Many housekeepers often complain that markets in Taiwan are not ideal. Marketing requires a lot of time in the daily routine, but it also provides a measure of enjoyment. Although almost every family now has a refrigerator, the Chinese homemaker prefer to go to the market to purchase fresh vegetables and live fish daily.
國內許多職業婦女常抱怨菜市場不夠進步，而許多家庭婦女卻以上菜場作為每日必要的活動：幾乎家家戶戶都備有冰箱了，卻仍喜歡去買些新鮮的菜蔬、活魚；或是趕巧兒碰上一些偶爾出市的攤販，還能買到比市價便宜很多的各類衣物。
