After New Year's Day, Wu Yuansheng had nothing to do and would still go to the landfill in Dongjin Town. If someone called to sell something, he would go over to "find out".

On the afternoon of the 4th, he had just come back from playing in the field, and Yi Xiaoyue told him with a flyer that there would be a New Year Goods Festival at the International Trade City starting tomorrow until the 10th.

There are also related activities such as antique jade exhibitions, acrobatic performances, food festivals, etc. He can go with her to have a look, and if they find something suitable, they can buy some.

On the morning of the 5th, they went there together.

The International Trade City is close to the suburbs and is the largest small commodity wholesale market in the northwest of the province. It has a large construction area, which is said to be 200 million square meters, and has more than 9000 shops of various sizes.

Business was okay in the past few years, but in recent years, with the development of online shopping and the logistics industry, business in physical stores has become difficult to maintain, and many stores have closed.

It took them about half an hour to drive to their destination.

Because of the event, many people came to shop, play, and buy New Year's goods.

You can see people coming and going over there in an endless stream.

They found a spot to park the car, and following the flow of people, they held hands and walked forward together.

Not far away, we saw a large circus tent set up in an open field. There was music and the voice of a female host speaking inside.

Sounds like a show is on.

They had seen this event on the flyer, which said there would be three performances each day and the ticket price was 19.9 yuan.

The circus and acrobatic performances are very suitable for bringing children to watch, and the activities will last for nearly a week.

They plan to bring Wu Qi and Wu Ming to watch again on Saturday.

After all, if we look at it now, we won’t be able to visit other places in the morning.

Leaving this place and continuing walking forward, you will reach the main venue of the New Year Goods Festival - stalls selling various New Year goods.

Judging from the flyers distributed by others, there are four major areas: fresh food area, comprehensive area, local specialty area, and flowers, birds, fish and insects area.

They first visited the comprehensive area, which sold non-staple food, grains and oils, tea and wine, cured meats, dried fruits, handicrafts, clothes, shoes and hats, household items, festive folk items, etc.

After walking around, they bought a few durians, some cherries, kiwis and other fruits at two fruit stalls.

I didn't buy anything else.

Logistics is convenient now. You can use your mobile phone to directly purchase various high-quality and low-priced foods or supplies online, and they will usually arrive within three to five days.

Buying these fruits does not count as New Year’s goods. They will be eaten within two days when I get home.

In the local specialty area, kudzu powder, honey, rice wine, etc. are on sale. They bought a large bottle of local rice wine from a local township and some kudzu powder produced in another county.

They did not purchase anything from the fresh produce section because they would buy better quality fish, pork, chicken, duck, etc. every year.

The fish are wild fish from large reservoirs, the pork is local pork, and the chickens and ducks are also local, that is, free-range. Their father Wu Jinyi will personally help them select them, and they just have to pay.

In the flowers, birds, fish and insects area, Yi Xiaoyue saw the flowers and plants she liked and they bought a few pots.

After visiting the New Year Goods Festival area, the two spent some time in the antique and jade area.

Many of the people who came to set up stalls today were selling handicrafts, that is, imitations.

They sell various porcelains, jade products, bronzes, calligraphy and paintings.

There are also ornamental beads, pendants, and hand-held pieces.

There are also more practical items such as combs, hairpins, gourds, walking sticks, and scratchers.

They just took a quick look at these relatively recent "handicraft" stalls.

People who come here to set up stalls to sell imitations may not have business in the antique city, but in public places like outside, there are still many people who don’t know much about the business who look at, observe, and choose from the stalls they set up.

It is estimated that there will be a lot of trading volume.

There are also several stalls selling items from the demolition area.

The owner, Wu Yuansheng, was not familiar to him and was probably from a nearby town.

The towns and villages he had visited before have basically become urban areas, and he has rarely visited other places that are not included in the urban area.

After looking around at their stalls, he and Yi Xiaoyue bought a flute, some real estate sales contracts, a photo album, a picture album, an oil painting, and two notebooks.

The flute is still made of bamboo. It is not big but looks very sturdy.

After wiping it several times with a wet tissue, she tried to play a song called "Beauty's Song".

The flute sound quality is very good.

The real estate sales contract was in 2001 and the location was in a town, which has become a large town in the urban area.

I looked at the sales agreement and found that a house of about 100 square meters only cost 11000 yuan. The housing prices were really cheap at that time.

The photo album was given by Wang, the squad leader of the cooking squad, to his comrade-in-arms Peng in 1993.

On the surface is written:

"Leave the beautiful moments for lasting memories."

Most of the photos are of the kitchen staff "working" together, some comrades in the army having meals, and a few photos of preparing meals outdoors.

He had rarely come across photos of this type before.

The album was drawn by a person who is good at sketching, and the content is:

"Fuxi stored his energy and created the kingdom, drew hexagrams and tied knots to govern the country."

have inside:

Tai Chi Bagua diagram, and rubbings of the four sacred beasts: the Eastern Azure Dragon, the Western White Tiger, the Southern Vermillion Bird, and the Northern Black Tortoise.

Hand-drawn five great emperors: the Green Emperor of the East, the Red Emperor of the South, the White Emperor of the West, the Black Emperor of the North and the Yellow Emperor of the Center.

Hand-painted Bagua God of Heaven, God of Earth, God of Water, God of Fire, God of Thunder, God of Wind, God of Marsh, and God of Mountain.

There are also relevant text explanations that describe the meaning of "Tao".

The oil painting is very special, it depicts a door god, and the painting method is to sketch first and then fill in the colors.

According to the stall owner, he received the oil painting and album from a resident who had relocated.

The person who drew the sketch did not sign his name, but judging from the drawing itself, it is very well done.

The year should be the 1990s.

There are two notebooks, one is a "record book" with excerpts and diaries.

Judging from the name, she is a woman.

It contains excerpts of famous quotes, poems, essays, and emotional short sentences.

A diary records some things in study and life.

The other one is a book of old sticker pictures, including "Magic Angel", "Watermelon Taro", "Magic Baby", "Pokemon", etc.

Yi Xiaoyue wanted to buy these two old notebooks for the sake of nostalgia.

These second-hand goods from the demolished areas purchased at the street stalls were very cheap. The flute cost only 10 yuan, and the real estate sales contracts, a total of 25 copies, also cost only 10 yuan.

The photo album costs 20 yuan, and the album and the door god oil painting cost 50 yuan together.

Two diaries are not expensive, only 5 dollars together.

Nowadays, things found in demolition areas, whether antiques or other practical second-hand items, are usually "good quality and low price".

After visiting the antique and jade stalls, it was already past eleven o'clock, so they took their purchases and went home.

The two did not go shopping in the commercial city, as those small commodities could be bought in the city.
