East Market was bustling, with carriages shuttling back and forth and pedestrians weaving through like threads.
As New Year's Day approached, the long streets were filled with citizens purchasing new year goods.
Merchants set up stalls along the street, some selling Spring Festival couplets, some selling Buddha Flowers, gold banknotes, candles for worshipping deities, and some selling cured meats, sausages, wind-dried chickens, and pressed ducks, presenting an array of dazzling goods.
In the midst of the busy market, Chen Ji suddenly felt the festive spirit, this being the first Spring Festival he would experience in this world... no, it should now be called New Year's Day.
Chen Ji walked ahead while Xiao Man followed behind, bouncing and hopping with joy.
He turned around, puzzled, and asked, "Why are you so happy?"
