Meat Truck: curing ham in a van

Sometimes, actually, oftentimes, in Beijing you see pretty random things. For instance, on the way to school at Tsinghua 清华大学 (near Wudaokou 五道口, Haidian 海淀) I saw this:

There was a man reading a newspaper, in a van, with a hell of a lot of hams just hanging up and hanging out.  And nope, it wasn’t a delivery truck. We asked.

Christine’s addendum: I like the umbrella hanging next to the ham.  Do you think it improves the taste?

    Nice. I like the idea of being able to reach towards the back and grab something if you happen to be hungry while driving :D

    This dude knows the secret: a damp umbrella in your van keeps the humidity at exactly the same level as a spring hillside outside Parma. Fact.
