223 Rush to the market
When you come to the countryside, you naturally have to experience the unique market in the countryside.
Rushing to the market is also called rushing the field, the coastal one is called rushing the void, the one in Dian Zhou is called rushing the street, and the one in Lingnan is called rushing business, the name is a little different, but they all have the same meaning.
Catching up with the market can also be regarded as a special product.
The so-called rush to the market is: a remote place, trade has a regular period. In time, buyers and sellers come from all over the world and gather at a certain place to buy and sell.
There are not so many shopping malls and commissaries in rural areas, so the government can only set a time, and then everyone can concentrate on this time period to go to the township to exchange materials and buy biological supplies.
Like Tongjiagou, this place is actually not remote, adjacent to National Highway 108, but there is still only one commissary, which can only sell small gadgets such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, snacks and firecrackers.
If the villagers want to buy clothes and farm tools, they either have to drive to the county seat, or they have to wait until the time to go to the market.
The township to which Tongjiagou belongs is called Siping Township, and the market time of Siping Township is 3, 6, and 9.
That is, there will be a catch market on the 3rd, 13th, and 23rd of each month, a total of nine times a month, not too much, not too little.
If you are a driver who often drives past the township, the most annoying situation is not to encounter livestock and children blocking the road, but to happen to encounter a market.
Towns and towns that usually have few ghosts and shadows will become particularly lively on the day of the market, and they will be bustling with people one after another.
Not to mention driving, it's hard to squeeze through even walking......
Therefore, when it is time to catch the market, if you want to pass through the township, you have to block it for most of the day.
February 26th.
It was only half past eight in the morning, and a family of seven was happily waiting on the side of the road, as if waiting for a taxi, chatting and waiting for the passenger vans to and from various towns and counties to pass by.
The passenger van can also be regarded as a product of the times.
Now the slightly more developed areas have long banned the operation qualification of vans, so passenger vans can only be seen in such backward eighteenth-tier small counties.
This kind of van is also called Chang'an car, because everyone thinks that the Chang'an brand is the most solid, so it is called it.
The Chang'an car is the most common kind of minivan, which carries seven people, is dyed with green and yellow paint, and has a certificate in front of the window, which is considered an officially recognized business vehicle.
The biggest problem with vans is overloading.
Because you never know how many people will come down from the van......
It's normal for a seven-seater van to have twelve or three people in it.
Chen Xi's family was reluctant to squeeze, so they spent 200 yuan to charter a van and enjoyed the special car treatment.
Siping Township is now very lively, when there is still a kilometer or two away from the hometown, you can see that there are countless villagers carrying backpacks, carrying large bags and small bags to and from the 108 National Highway.
The little one leaned on the sliding door and looked out the window with interest.
Most of the villagers in the south live scattered, and only on the day of the market will they gather in the township, and the little guy has lived in the countryside for a few days, and has become accustomed to the sparse population in the countryside.
Suddenly, she saw so many people, she was really a little unaccustomed.
Looking at the lively posture in the countryside, it is somewhat similar to visiting a temple fair.
The market was the most crowded in the morning, so the driver had to stop a kilometer from the village, because if he went any further, he might not even be able to find the place to make a U-turn.
This driver is also a smart person, and after Chen Xi's family got out of the car, he also asked Xie Pinglin for a phone number, ready to make another money later......
Now smartphones are also popular, a family of seven just walked into the township, and they saw a huge OPPO store in front of them, and there was a vivo next door, and the two brothers were really inseparable everywhere.
Outside the two smartphone stores, a blacksmith sells his own ploughing, rakes, rakes, sickles and hoes.
This can be regarded as a microcosm of rural China.
The bazaar is held along the streets of the township, from the head of the village to the end of the village, and the roads are lined with stalls, bustling with shouts and bargains.
However, most of the products sold here are some daily necessities, or livestock, poultry, feed and farm tools, which are closely related to the lives of farmers.
The little guy sat in Chen Xi's arms, standing high and looking far away, so she suddenly saw a different sugar painting stall.
Sugar painting is also a traditional craft of Chinese folk, using brown sugar and white sugar to draw the zodiac, you can turn it for two yuan, take what you want, and make it on the spot, which is really delicious and fun.
The little guy looked at it for a while, and suddenly couldn't take his eyes off, so he sat in Chen Xi's arms and twisted his little body and shouted.
Her luck was not bad, after three turns, she actually turned out of the dragon directly, and she was so happy that this little thing was so happy that she giggled out loud at the top of her voice.
Watching the master make it on the spot, drawing the dragon with his bare hands, the eyes of the little things are about to pop out.
When the master finished the sugar painting, she held the dragon in one hand and the mouse in the other, and fed the rest of the dog to Chen Xi to eat.
Aunt Zhang watched with a smile on the side.
This little thing, since having the company of his parents, even has more smiles on his face than before.
And just when the family gathered in front of the sugar painting stall, smiling and praising the craftsmanship of the sugar painting master, there was a sudden commotion on the other side of the road.
Looking at the noisy gongs and drums and firecrackers, it seems that someone is picking up relatives.
As soon as the little guy heard this, he immediately shouted for Chen Xi to pick her up and take a look.
Sure enough, as the sound of gongs and drums got closer and closer, a team of kisses appeared in the little guy's sight.
The formation of this welcoming team is incredible.
In front is a gong and drum to open the way, followed by an eight-lift sedan chair.
Along the way, the villagers retreated to both sides of the road, making way for the welcoming procession.
The welcoming team forcibly crossed the entire Siping Township when they rushed to the scene, and looking at the formation, it seemed a little too ostentatious.
In fact, what really made the villagers avoid it was not the sedan chair and the folk band, but the dozens of young people who followed behind the sedan chair.
These young people carried several loud speakers, and sang Zhang Yu's song "To You" loudly all the way along the way.
"It must be a special fate, so that you can become a family along the way, how much you love her, how much she will pay you back, and find the possibility of happiness......"
Their voices were so loud that in the end they directly suppressed the hustle and bustle of the bazaar, so that the whole street was temporarily stopped trading, and only they could be heard singing "To You" as if they were singing the national anthem.
The villagers let out to both sides of the street and watched silently as they passed by.
The little guy had never seen such a battle, and immediately sat in Chen Xi's arms and let out an exclamation: "......
The little thing was speechless in shock......
