At this time, at Vinh market, everyone was busy shopping for Tet. Observing at the main stalls, prices increased slightly, such as beef prices ranging from 230,000 - 250,000 VND/kg (increased from normal days from 10,000 - 20,000 VND/kg). Good pork prices range from 80,000 - 85,000 VND/kg. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lien, who sells pork, shared: Currently, people have not bought pork to cook for Tet, so the consumption is not large, so we do not dare to increase the sales source.

There are quite a lot of buyers for dried seafood, but according to the shop owners, the price has not increased significantly. Good quality squid costs from 750,000 VND to 800,000 VND/kg, dried fish (anchovies 270,000 VND/kg). There are quite a variety of confectionery products, but there are few buyers. Ms. Luu Thi Tinh, the owner of a stall, said: Candies, jams, and packaged candies cost only 60,000 - 100,000 VND/kg, but selling only 2-3 million VND per day is too little.
