Lishui Jishi

Lishui county has no valuable property, and businessmen are familiar with it in history. Every ten days in the county, the third and seventh days are the city, and Bihu Town is the ugly day. During Guangxu period, Nanming, Jiulong, Subu, Shi Niu, Baoding, Junxi, Guanqiao, Xiahe, Qinglin, Yantou, Taiping, Yanquan and Du Ge were added. Since the Republic of China, the county town, Bihu town and Tuling Lao Zhu have been preserved. The county fair was changed from the seventh day of the third lunar month to the eighth day of the third lunar month. Bihu Town used to take ugly days and happy days as the market, big and small. After liberation, it was changed to 38 days as the city, and now it is the first and sixth day of every ten days. On the eve of the Cultural Revolution, Dagangtou City was added, which is the city every ten days and five days. After the reform and opening up, markets for farmers, rabbit hair and timber have been established in Shuangxi, Hehe, Kutou and Lidong in Beixiang. In Chengguan and Bihu Town, every day from/kloc-0 to the end of the lunar calendar becomes a "city day", which is called a "day trip".

There are agricultural and sideline products such as pig, chicken, rice and millet, and household appliances such as ironwood and bamboo charcoal. Businessmen from afar arrived the day before the "trip" and the inns in the city were full. Local rural residents, carrying hand-held goods on their shoulders, got up early to "catch up". Due to the concentration of people flow and logistics, in management, Chengguan City has been divided into "small banks" according to the classification of listed commodities. Dashuimen is the rice noodle, Hengjie is the mountain products line, Heavy Hair is the pig line, Sanfangkou is the Sao people line, Jiangyuan is the chicken and duck line, Huxiaomen is the firewood line, and the front and back of the house is the comprehensive material exchange line.

Most of the goods in the market are produced and sold by themselves, and buyers and sellers can trade freely. There are traders on the "small money house", who specialize in buying and selling, calculating and collecting remuneration from them, commonly known as "Yalang". There are also pig tooth lang, cow tooth lang, chicken tooth lang and so on. After pricing, the buyer and the seller found Yelang. After Yalang weighed, the hammer landed, and the buyer and seller even made a deal. Generally speaking, the seller pays the introduction fee, commonly known as "tooth money". When foreign businessmen come to Li to do business, they also go to Yalang to talk about the market first. For example, the chickens and ducks in Jinyun, after stopping at Huxiaomen, must go to the third banker of Chicken and Duck Lang at the foot of Zhendong Building, consult the sauce garden about the prices of chickens and ducks and contact the wholesale households.

Farmers flooded into cities.

There are "bridge vendors" in the market. Some dealers buy goods directly from the place of origin and go to the market. There are also vendors who directly receive goods for export in the market, and vendors who collect cheap goods and then sell them in the local market, commonly known as "sitting on the ground bridge vendors."

There is little difference in the price of non-staple food in the "travel day" market, and the seasonal difference is more obvious. General prices fluctuate with the market, several times a day. If there are more goods, the price will fall when the supply exceeds the demand, and it will be easy to deal with it in the afternoon, and the climate will also have an impact. The fluctuation of rice price is most obviously affected by Songyang and other places. As long as I heard that rice had arrived in Songyang, Shuixiaomen, the market price of rice plummeted, and there was no information. The price of rice soared all the way, and residents complained.

After a period of trading, people gradually leave the market and go home, commonly known as "parting ways." Affected by supply and climate, some markets began to disperse before noon, and generally began to "disperse" after noon.
