Street vendors can sometimes show the best examples of refined skill. These street vendors in China have carved out a niche with a very specific type of candy. They pour heated sugar in various shapes and designs, then put it on a stick for your consumption. It doesn’t sound that impressive, but watch these videos and see the skill they show. As with many street vendors, you can tell these people have done this 10,000 times and the muscle memory could almost carry them on autopilot.
I would be happy to support street vendors like this.
5 Chinese Yuan = 0.82 US Dollar
It took 5 – 6 minutes to produce one. Assuming 100% production, that’s $8 – $9 / hour. Minus fuel, sugar costs.
Also consider that they were showing off for the camera. Surely many of them aren’t quite as fancy and are completed much quicker.
My word! Do you eat it or put it in a gallery?
looks like the Chinese have their own version of 3D printing.
