When you come to the countryside, you naturally have to experience the unique rural market.
Going to the market is also called going to the market. The coastal area is called chasing empty, the area in Dianzhou is called chasing street, and the area in Lingnan is called chasing business. The names are somewhat different, but they all have the same meaning.
Going to the market is also a characteristic product.
The so-called going to the market means that there are regular trade in remote places. In due course, buyers and sellers come from all directions to buy and sell at a certain place.
There are not so many shopping malls and canteens in rural areas, so the government can only set a time, and then everyone will focus on this time period to buy and exchange materials and buy biological supplies in villages and towns.
In fact, tongjiagou is not remote. It is adjacent to national highway 108, but there is still only a canteen, which can only sell gadgets such as oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, snacks and firecrackers.
If villagers want to buy clothes and farm tools, they can either catch a car to the county, or they can only wait until the time to go to the market.
The township to which tongjiagou belongs is called Siping Township. The market time of Siping Township is 3, 6 and 9.
That is, a fair will be held on the 3rd, 13th and 23rd of each month. There are nine times a month, not too many or too few.
If you are a driver who often drives through a township, the most annoying situation is not that you encounter livestock and children in the way, but that you happen to encounter the market.
Villages and towns with few ghosts and shadows will become particularly lively on the market day, with people coming one after another.
Don't say it's driving. It's hard to squeeze through just walking
So when it comes to the market, if you want to pass through the township, you have to block up most of the day.
February 26th.
At 8:30 in the morning, a family of seven happily waited on the side of the road, just like waiting for a taxi. They chatted and waited for the passing of passenger vans between various towns and counties.
Passenger van is also a product of the times.
Now slightly developed areas have already banned the operation qualification of vans, so passenger vans can only be seen in this backward 18th tier small county.
This kind of van is also called Chang'an car, because everyone thinks Chang'an brand is the most solid, so it's called driving.
Changan car is the most common kind of mini van. It carries seven people, is painted green and yellow, and has a certificate hanging in front of the window. It is even an officially recognized operating vehicle.
The biggest problem with vans is overloading.
Because you never know how many people will come down in the van
It's normal for a seven seater van to have twelve or three people in it.
Chen Xi's family didn't want to squeeze, so they spent 200 yuan on a van and enjoyed the treatment of a special bus.
Siping Township is very busy now. When you are a kilometer or two away from home, you can see that countless villagers are carrying baskets and bags on national highway 108.
The little guy lay on the sliding door and looked at the scenery outside the window with great interest.
Most of the villagers in the south live in scattered places. Only on the day of going to the market can they concentrate on the villages and towns. The little guy has lived in the countryside for a few days and is used to the sparsely populated countryside.
Suddenly she was not used to seeing so many people.
Looking at the lively posture in the countryside is a little like going to a temple fair.
The most people went to the market in the morning, so the driver had to stop one kilometer away from the countryside, because if he went further, he might not even find the turning position.
The driver is also a smart man. When the Chenxi family got off the bus, he asked Xie Pinglin for a phone and was ready to make another profit later
Now smart phones are also popular. A family of seven just walked into the countryside and saw a huge oppo store in front of them. There is a vivo next door. The two brothers are inseparable everywhere.
Outside the two smart phone stores, a blacksmith is selling farming tools such as plough, rake, medium, sickle and hoe made by himself.
This is also a microcosm of Huaxia township.
The market is attached to the township streets. From the head of the village to the end of the village, there are stalls on both sides of the road. It is noisy and full of shouting and bargaining everywhere.
However, most of the goods sold here are necessities of life, or things closely related to farmers' lives such as livestock, poultry, feed and farm tools.
The little guy sat in Chen Xi's arms and stood high and looked far away, so she saw a different sugar painting stall at once.
Sugar painting is also a traditional Chinese folk art. It uses brown sugar and white sugar to draw the twelve zodiac signs. For two yuan, you can take whatever you want. It's really delicious and fun to make it on site.
The little guy looked at it for a while and couldn't open his eyes at once, so he sat in Chen Xi's arms and shouted with his little body twisted.
She was lucky. After three turns, she turned out of the Dragon directly. She was very happy on the spot and giggled at her voice.
Looking at the master's on-site production and painting the dragon with his bare hands, the little thing's eyes will stare out. When the master finished the sugar painting, she took the dragon in one hand and the mouse in the other, and the rest of the dog was fed to Chen Xi. Aunt Zhang looked at it with a smile. This little thing has had more smiles on his face since he was accompanied by his parents. When the family gathered around the sugar painting stall and praised the sugar painting master's skill with a smile, there was a sudden uproar at the other end of the road. Look at the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, it seems that someone is picking up a kiss. As soon as the little guy heard the news, he immediately shouted to Chen Xi to pick her up and have a look. Sure enough, with the sound of gongs and drums getting closer and closer, a welcoming team appeared in the little guy's sight. The formation of the wedding team is amazing. In front is the opening of gongs and drums, followed by an eight lift sedan. Along the way, the villagers all retreated to both sides of the road and made enough aisles for the welcoming team. The wedding procession was forced to cross the whole Siping Township when they rushed to the market. Looking at the formation, it seemed too ostentatious. In fact, it was not the sedan chair and the folk band that really made the villagers avoid, but dozens of young people followed by the sedan chair. These young people carried several big stereos and sang Zhang Yu's song "here you are" all the way“ It must be a special fate to become a family along the way. How much you love her, how much she gives back to you, and find the possibility of happiness... "Their voice was so loud that they directly suppressed the noise and excitement of the market, so that the transactions of the whole street stopped temporarily. They only heard them sing" here to you "like singing the national anthem. The villagers let them go to both sides of the street and watched them pass in silence.
