Ms. Hoa, the owner of a chicken slaughterhouse, said that on normal days, she only processed 20-30 chickens, but during the days before Tet, her family had to process up to 300 chickens per day, so she had to mobilize her family members to process them on time for customers because she couldn't keep up.

According to a survey, if on normal days, the price of hiring to make chickens is only 10,000 - 20,000 VND/chicken, now it has increased to 30,000 - 40,000 VND/chicken. However, most people accept the price increase because they are busy during Tet, do not have time to make chickens or create beautiful chicken positions like a craftsman. Photo: QA |
