In the busy farming season, the market in Sancha River town starts a bit earlier. If one observes carefully, although there are more people than usual, most of them are the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled from the homes. The main labor force of the household needs to prepare for work and simply doesn't have time to attend the market.
During this period, people come to town almost every day for the market or not, especially the shops selling farming tools, which set up stalls outside every day. The sales of vegetables, meat, as well as liquor, candies, and gifts, etc., at the market are much better than usual.
Although it's incomparable to the Mid-Autumn Festival period a few days earlier in August, for the business people in town, this is also a rare good business season.
That makes perfect sense. During the busy farming time, some relatives from outside would return, and the children would be on holiday; these are the main consumers.
