"Markets" are known as markets, whether large or small, offering a wide variety of delicious goods. Markets here aren't just for fresh vegetables, they also sell ready-to-eat prepared foods. Trading takes on a variety of forms. Sometimes vendors set up shops or caravans, searching for open spaces near villages to sell vegetables, fruits, and prepared foods. When I was a teenager, I used to sell minced pork porridge. Before that, I also sold bananas and egg plantains from my orchard. Finding a location for a caravan like this requires a leader, who can allocate stalls for us to set up our stalls. Vendors selling their goods at this time are quite pitiful, as they're competing against time and the intense heat.
And what's truly heartwarming is the rainy season. Selling food like this can be risky, especially for those selling ready-to-eat food. For clothing vendors, if their clothes get wet in the rain, they could be damaged. But sometimes, selling goods like this is fun and makes you happy, seeing the many customers coming to choose from and seeing the money you make every day. This is often the life of a vendor; we get to spend it on family expenses.
But now I'm not out selling things, and I'm staying home to take care of my children, so when I have time to go shopping at the market like this, I'm very happy. The market has a wide variety of fresh produce to choose from. Today, my husband, daughter, and mother-in-law drove to the market to buy vegetables for this week's cooking. My daughter enjoyed walking to the snack and toy stores. My mother-in-law went shopping for fruits and vegetables. I carried the basket behind her to help her carry the basket. Baskets nowadays aren't that heavy because they have wheels. However, I enjoyed walking to the fruit section, where fruits are imported from Thailand. The prices are quite high, but we understand because importing and transporting them is very expensive.
After my mother-in-law bought enough vegetables, we walked around the ready-to-eat food section. My daughter also bought a candy bar and she didn't forget to buy one for her sister. Once everything was ready, we headed home. This is our way of life in the small countryside where we live. Thank you for stopping by to read my article today.
