[Explanation] On September 1st, in the early morning of Mid-Yuan Festival, Guangxi Wanya was listed.

On this day, ducks are an indispensable dish for every household in the south, making a large wave of ducks "doomed."

At 0 o'clock that day, in the poultry trading area of ​​Liuzhou Haijixing, the largest farmer's trading market in Guangxi, the "duck power" surged.

　　[Explanation] Under the bright lights, the smell of duck dung permeated the air, and tens of thousands of ducks covered the stalls.

All kinds of ducks, including white ducks, sack ducks, native ducks, western ducks, and blue-headed ducks, gather together, and the sound of "quack" surrounds the ears, as if they are in the final exchange of "duck life".

The market is full of busy figures. Sellers quickly catch ducks, pretend to be ducks, and weigh their catties while entertaining buyers.

　　[Explanation] There are customs in Guangxi folks such as slaughtering ducks to worship their ancestors and eating ducks during the "Zhongyuan Festival". This is the hottest time for ducks of the year.

Affected by the epidemic this year, duck sales plummeted in the first half of this year, and vendors encountered many difficulties in their operations.

Lan Ozawa, who has been in the "duck trade" business for 7 years, was too busy to eat dinner that day, hoping to get back on the day of "Chinese Yuan Festival".

　　It’s easier to sell during the Mid-year Festival. I usually barely reluctant to maintain the cost. I usually come to 1,000 a day, and tonight (expected) to sell about 7,000.

　　[Explanation] In order to welcome the "Chinese Lunar New Year", the vendor Li Guihua prepared milk tea and food all night to prepare for the battle. He also invited 4 more people to help, and he worked 24 hours a day to cope with the busy sales.

The demand for ducks skyrocketed during the "Zhongyuan Festival", and the price of ducks rose by about 1 yuan per catty, but Li Gui's ducks were not worried about selling, and sales increased by about four times.

　　We usually work overnight, but we work in shifts, with day shifts and evening shifts. Now we have to take care of both day shifts and evening shifts. There is no way, we can only shift 24 hours.

Usually the price is a little bit lower, but now we want the goods to be more expensive during the holidays. It must be expensive (price increase). There is no way. It is 1 to 1 yuan more than usual.

I entered 3 cars today, and it is estimated that there are more than 4,000. This is not the case in normal times, usually around 1000 every day.

　　[Explanation] Affected by the epidemic, poultry sales in early 2020 have declined severely. As the epidemic is brought under control, poultry sales have steadily picked up.

Since July and August, the sales and prices of ducks have gradually recovered to the same level as in previous years.

　　The annual sales peak of Ducks is on the two days of the Midyear Festival. The arrivals of the entire Midyear Festival began to increase on the 28th, but the sales will be concentrated one or two days before the Midyear Festival. Reach the peak of transactions and incoming goods.

Today (31st), the sales volume will exceed 80,000 birds, which is 2.5 times the usual. It is usually around 30,000, and today it will reach 80,000.
