Today is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, rural people are preparing Chinese New Year's Eve meals, and consumers who go to the market to buy vegetables and fruits are endless, and the crowd is crowded, as if they don't want money, and they carry large bags and small bags to their homes. I also went to the farmers' market, and the price of our local vegetables and fruits doubled, so I drove dozens of miles to the Haikou farmers' market in Anqing City to have a look, and the price was twice the usual vegetable price. People buying vegetables and fruits crowded the market, and the vendors were so busy that they didn't even bother to eat lunch, and the New Year's goods market was booming. The price is a bargain and will not let me, and the vendors all said that it may rise by two yuan a pound tomorrow. The price of pork has risen by 20 per cent, and the price of fresh fish has also risen by 15 per cent. It is snowing in Anqing, many highways in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have been closed, the transportation of vegetables and fruits has been blocked, and prices have soared. At the end of each year, the prices of vegetables, fruits and non-staple foods will rise, and they will rise sharply in the first three days of the Spring Festival, and the prices will gradually fall back in the first month. However, no matter how expensive it is, it will not affect consumers' desire to buy, and the New Year will still pass, so consumers at the farmers' market will buy dishes without hesitation despite the heavy snow.
1. Water celery is 10 yuan a catty, parsley is 7 yuan a catty, and dried soy sauce is 7 yuan a catty, all of which are twice the usual price
I went to the farmers' market and inquired about 10 yuan a pound of water celery, 7 yuan a pound of parsley, and 7 yuan a pound of dried soy sauce, all of which were twice the usual price. An old man said that it doesn't matter if the money is expensive, the important thing is that the whole family gets together peacefully, happily, and happily celebrate the New Year and have a reunion dinner. All kinds of vegetables and fruits, chickens, ducks, goose meat, fish and fish are abundant in the market, and there are many dazzling dishes. But the traders still said that when it was snowing, the roads were icy, vegetables and fruits could not be transported, and the prices of vegetables and fruits would rise before the Spring Festival. A female trader said, I won't hide it from you, the price is twice as much as usual, but at the end of the year, who wants to guard the stall? If the price does not rise and I don't make money, I will not stay here to suffer the cold and drink the northwest wind? There is a slang saying in Anqing: "A good man does not earn six la's money", which means that it is time to rest, and go home for the New Year, even if there is a mountain of gold there, no one will earn it. At present, it is the time of the "six laps" mentioned by the people of Anqing, many people are already playing mahjong at home, and the drivers are not willing to run long distances, what if they are stuck on the highway and cannot go home for the New Year? A cart of fresh agricultural products stuck on the highway will lose their wife and soldiers. Rising prices are also expected by consumers, and consumers are also indifferent to price increases.
Second, Anqing people are very particular about Chinese New Year's EveChinese New Year's Eve meals, and they are not casual, and they must eat Chinese New Year's Eve meals at home to call it "reunion dinner"
Rural people are more comparatively compared to the New Year, but they are not extravagant and wasteful. Rural people must cook their own Chinese New Year's Eve meals and eat them at home. It's not nice to eat outside, and you have to eat it at home for the New Year's dinner. Chinese New Year's EveChinese New Year's Eve meals are prepared three days in advance, and dishes are prepared according to the family's tastes and preferences. Each dish has a special one, there must be fish, chicken, braised pork, hot pot, meatballs, vegetables, Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at least ten dishes, meaning "perfect", another hot pot, drink wine. Now that the living conditions are better, the dishes are more refined, and the food is healthy, delicious, and in a good mood. Fa Xiao, who went to the farmers' market with us today, also bought pigeons, quail eggs, and fresh shiitake mushrooms. This year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone pursues light, vegetable, too greasy ingredients but no one cares. Clean vegetables and braised vegetables are not the first choice for consumers. I bought a basket of sugar oranges and a box of apples, the price is relatively high, it is not salty or greasy, and it can also supplement vitamins. There are more people who buy sugar oranges today, and the sales of apples are also strong, and the New Year is not a cultural year.
Third, the price of vegetables and fruits rose a year ago, and the market continued until noon on the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the traders would go home for the New Year, and the market was closed
Most of the returnees have arrived at home, and private cars are parked on both sides of the road, some of which are parked in the middle of the road, causing traffic jams. There is no parking space in the countryside, and rural people and vehicles are parked in the east and west, and there is no place to park. I parked my car 100 meters away from the market, and when I entered the market, consumers lined up to buy vegetables and groceries. Vegetables and fruits were still rising years ago, and the market continued until noon on the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the traders were going home for the New Year, and the market was closed in the afternoon. If you still have to pay attention to the New Year's goods, don't wait until the thirtieth day of the lunar month, there are not many ingredients in the market on the thirtieth day of the lunar month.
