What is a "marketplace" in the countryside?

The rural market is a periodic free trade market in economically underdeveloped areas, usually organized in towns and villages.

One, the rural "market" will be fixed time, in this day, the township around the traders and need to purchase the folks will gather to a place, trade activities.

When I was a child, I was looking forward to the day of the fair, because it was basically a day when my mom and dad would go to the fair to buy some food, and on New Year's Day, I would buy us some food, and sometimes I would buy us a new dress.

The market is very busy, there are selling vegetables, selling clothes, selling snacks, selling fruits and nuts, etc., see people dazzling. The market in our town was in the center of the town on the street, in fact, there is only that one street, the vendors will set up their stalls on both sides of the street, the middle out of the flow of people and vehicles through the space. At the peak of the market, usually in the morning, the street is so crowded that you can hear the bells of bicycles ringing all the time, but it's hard to move forward even a meter, and if you run into tractors, tricycles, or cars, it's even harder to get around. But as the crowds dwindle in the afternoon, people get busy haggling with the vendors, trying to get a good deal at a low price before nightfall.

Second, the rural "fair" provides a convenient trading platform for rural people.

In the countryside, some people's homes to do some small business, some people's homes planted with vegetables, fruits and vegetables, etc., with this bazaar, it provides a trading platform for everyone, but also for those remote areas of the villagers to provide a market to buy daily necessities, shorten the distance of their travel. Our family is in a village, my home from the town by bicycle takes about 40 minutes, to the county by bicycle takes about an hour and a half, the car was not as common as now, even motorcycles are very few, everyone traveled either by bicycle, or their own legs and feet. So the "bazaar" was born of nature, born of time, and was especially important in the economically underdeveloped times of the past.

For the traders, they usually go to the market, traveling in the nearby towns and villages, today there is a "market" in this township, then rush to this township, tomorrow there is a "market" in the nearby townships, then rush to the nearby townships. All year round, running in different towns and markets. Although hard, but after all, there is a platform for doing business, so that the villagers around the township more a way to make a living. Of course, for the procurement needs of the villagers, the "market" is a boon, because they can buy their own needs here on the nearest goods, and the price of many goods will be lower than the county town.

The "bazaar" is a folk custom, an activity that comes naturally to working people in their productive lives. But with the upgrading of transportation and the impact of e-commerce, some local "bazaars" are slowly becoming depressed. But no matter what, rural "bazaar" was born in response to the time, and its existence is very historical, even in the distant future, "bazaar" does not exist, but also can not erase the side of the scenery it once.
