Go to the market (original)

The community I live in is far from the county seat, but it is close to the nearby Guanqiao. It takes only a few minutes to get to Guanqiao by electric car. On weekdays, my mother often goes to the market in Guanqiao to buy food.

The tradition of going to the market has a long history. The date of going to the market varies from place to place, either at 158 or at 369, that is, the first day, the fifth day, the eighth day, the eleventh day, the fifteenth day, the eighteenth day, the twenty-first day, the twenty-fifth day and the twenty-eighth day of the lunar calendar. Of course, there are few places to meet on Wednesday and Friday. Generally, it is a large place with a large population, so the days of market are more frequent.

Some time ago, the market in Guanqiao stopped for a long time, and it didn't reopen until the epidemic stabilized a little. After the opening of the market, someone will be in charge. Before entering the market, you should take your temperature and register. Obviously not as convenient as before. Even so, everyone is very happy, because if the market is not reopened, farmers' vegetables will rot in the ground and cannot be sold, which will be very chilling. At the same time, farmers can buy some daily necessities and seeds sown in spring in the market so as not to delay this year's harvest. It can be said that the opening of the market is just the right time.

I especially liked going to the market when I was a child. Every time my family goes to the market, I have to keep up, no matter the weather or the distance. When I lived in my hometown, there was a Yan Jia market, which was more than ten miles away from home. At that time, the traffic was not as developed as it is now, so we had to walk out on two legs. We must climb the mountain, finish the mountain road, take the stone road, cross the bridge over the river and cross the narrow ridge. We should not only follow the footsteps of adults, but also always be on guard against the evil dogs in other people's villages. Going to the market was a painful and happy thing for me when I was a child.

The market in Yan Jia is small, just a few blocks. Now that I think about it, I wonder what attracted me. Maybe it's the candy in the market, maybe it's the mints in the shop, maybe it's grandma's pig's blood and rice tofu. It's been too long to remember.

Most cities are farmers' markets and supermarket chains, with complete goods and neat classification. Everything sold anywhere is fixed, not as chaotic as the market. People can easily find what they want to buy in the city. The market is different. Those who sell vegetables and meat are crowded together, and those who sell materials are put together with chickens and ducks. Those who sell bamboo baskets and brooms and those who sell breakfast are also intertwined. At first glance, they are varied and dazzling. However, it seems that it is this kind of chaos that makes the market very lively and reflects the unique street life in rural areas.

The stalls and supermarkets in the farmers' market in the city are personal fixed business premises, and so are the markets. The quality of stalls in the market depends entirely on who gets up early and who comes early, who can seize the stalls, and those who come late can only occupy some remote places. People also go to the market early. If you want to buy a new one, you have to come early, but it's too late to catch up with the leftovers. Therefore, the market started early and dispersed early.

The market of Guanqiao is not big either. Due to the opening of several supermarkets in the market and the special period, the number of people has decreased a lot. Seeing such a fair, I was not in the mood to go shopping, so I bought something and left in a hurry.

On the way back to the community, I have an indescribable taste and a strange feeling that this market will be replaced by farmers' markets and supermarkets one day. At that time, I feel very sorry.

With the development of the times, we can't stop some things from passing away, just like this market.

However, although there is no market in the future, at least I still have memories of the market.

May think so, the in the mind will feel better!
