In Xi 'an, there is a market that has been circulating for a hundred years-Baqiao Market. There is a market every Sunday, which is located in Baqiao Town, near the north of Baqiao Wetland Park, 34 areas in the Middle East, along Bahe River, Bahe Bridge and Zhenjie, including the original market in Baqiao Town, forming a huge market. This is the nearest rural trade market to downtown Xi, so on the appointed day, people in Siliba Town go out early and go to the market with dew. At this time, the wide streets are usually occupied by stalls and shacks of various sizes, leaving only a narrow path for people to pass. At about ten o'clock in the morning, people came here from all directions like the tide, wandering from one end of the market to the other, sometimes buying nothing, which was the atmosphere. Of course, if you stroll around, you will have to eat a bowl of buckwheat noodles just squeezed into the pot, green leeks and bright red oil, which are steaming and fragrant, not to mention how moist it is! You can also choose Chili bumps, meat boxes and Hejian donkey meat to burn. Just look at the diners in line and you will know that it must be delicious. Especially before the Spring Festival, the market is very lively and full of strong flavor of the year.

Look at those chickens standing with great momentum. Chicken and fish are often indispensable on the New Year's table. Unlike urbanites who are more and more inclined to book New Year's Eve dinners outside, there are still some people here who insist on making great efforts to prepare rich family dinners. For a perfect dish, the fresher the ingredients, the better, so when you come to the market, pick a healthy chicken, go home and cook it yourself or let the boss kill it now. It must be delicious.

Sheep are also frequent visitors to the market. Northwest people like to eat mutton in winter. On days when the cold wind is howling, they will sit at home, stew a pot of mutton in clear soup, sprinkle a handful of chopped green onion parsley when they are out of the pot, and feel warm immediately after drinking. Cooked mutton is stir-fried with spices and colored with soy sauce. This is braised mutton. You can eat a big bowl of rice just by smelling the fragrance. Pigeons and geese are a minority. Usually, they go to restaurants to order food and seldom cook at home by themselves. Only a skilled "old kitchen" will carefully select one and bring it home on New Year's Eve.

There is also a cat and dog trading place, which is different from the pet market in the city. Most of the dogs you see are Shiba Inu and Guanzhong boutique dogs. It is said that this kind of dog is an expert in driving rabbits, and its running speed can reach 70 kilometers per hour. On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, many places in Guanzhong will hold rabbit driving competitions, which is also a good opportunity for fine dog lovers to exchange and buy and sell fine dogs. Finally, this lovely cat with elegant manners looks quite rich.

Baqiao Market is held once a week on Sunday, and the mode is different every time. It can also be considered that this place is also a distribution center for low-priced and shoddy goods. People don't have so many empty hearts, and they don't pursue famous brands. As long as the price is right, they will definitely watch it. Therefore, the business here is very active, which is in sharp contrast with the tall luxury stores in the city. Approaching here, you walk into the depths of life and feel the pleasant life breath. Yes, it is the most human life breath. The peddler's cry is getting louder and louder: Come on! Oranges in Guangxi are 5 1 kg, and 10 yuan is one. They are sweet! Look at the ten-yuan basket in Hainan, I missed it, delicious lady! People gathered side by side smiled contentedly one after another, and the civilians in the street were lively and fragrant. What a picture of Baqiao's secular life it is!
