In particular, in the black chicken sales area, each person who wants to buy must bring the ticket issued earlier and wait in line for their turn, to ensure order and avoid jostling during crowded times.
Many people who showed up early were lucky enough to buy black chickens – an item considered “market fortune” on the opening night of the session. Ms. Nhan (Dao Xa commune, Bac Ninh) said that every year the market takes place, she proactively arrives early to line up, buy offerings, and buy black chickens with the hope of bringing luck and peace to her family in the new year.
