A Rural Bazaar
It is an ordinary rural bazaar, but also is the best-known bazaar in the town because the bazaar
offers the richest varieties of commodities and most favorable prices, which attracts lots of local
villagers to the bustling bazaar.
It is located in a small woods, along with a highway which extends as far as the eye can see,
losing itself in the shadowy distance. Every five days, the bazaar is very busy with a constant stream
of vehicles and villagers and sometimes, customers at the bazaar can hardly move for a long time.
The very act of stepping into the bazaar, in breathing the fragrance of fruits and flowers, is a far
greater enjoyment for you. On the one hand, the flower-keepers explain the skills of planting slowly,
fiddling about with sprouts, and the would-be buyers follow suit. On the other hand, the din of
fruit-sellers crying their wares and of purchasers arguing and bargaining makes you dizzy.
Then as you penetrate deeper into the bazaar, the noise of entrance fades away, and you come to
the food-market. Various local characteristics food begins to impinge on your eyes, such as cold jelly,
pancakes, rice cake and so on. Keep walking and you can find the vegetable-market, where you can
buy everything you need for the most sumptuous dinner. The most important thing is that what they
sell is always planted by themselves. There you can also find the spice-market, with its pungent and
exotic smells.
One of the most unforgettable parts of the bazaar is the domestic animal market. As you
approach it, the cry of the chicken and duck fighting with each other, of the dog chasing and barking
at the cat, of the cow and goat chewing their hay disdainfully is continuous and makes you feel so
complicated. Farmers often come here to select puppy used to guard home. They watch the dogs one
by one, selecting and pricing. Once they narrow down their choice, they will begin the really serious
bargaining. At first, they give a very low price, which is almost half of what the seller required. Then,
they add the money little by little, such as give one Yuan more each time. After that, if the seller still
does not agree, they will pretend to leave. Usually, on their way back, the seller will shout to them
with the lowest price which is accepted for both sides. The trade is done.
At the bazaar, people can find all kind of commodities, ranging from daily-use necessities, local
productions, fruits and vegetables to means of production and domestic animals, scattering in
different parts of the bazaar. It can be said that the bazaar is the best place to understand the rural
culture.
