Meanwhile, Mr. Nguyen, the owner of a peach orchard in Nghi Duc commune, shared with a smile: "Although the peach blossoms bloomed earlier this year than usual, the peach tree reservation service is quite bustling because customers can see the trees directly and estimate the flowering time to make their choice easier. Those who love peach blossoms come to see them very early. At the time of pickup, the price will be negotiated depending on the flowering time and color of the flowers."

The craft of making banh chung (traditional Vietnamese rice cakes) for Tet (Lunar New Year) is on the rise.

The job of wrapping banh chung (traditional Vietnamese rice cakes) for hire during Tet (Lunar New Year) is also one of the highly profitable occupations for many banh chung-making households. According to the owners of these establishments, many customers have already called to place orders for banh chung for Tet.

The job of wrapping banh chung (traditional Vietnamese rice cakes) for hire is very popular during Tet (Vietnamese Lunar New Year).

According to Mr. Vo Van Minh's family in Dong Vinh ward (Vinh City), who have been making Tet sticky rice cakes for over 10 years, dozens of people come to order cakes towards the end of the year. Not only neighbors, but also restaurants and hotels need to order them to serve guests and as gifts. These days, the family has prepared the ingredients and contacted workers to ensure they can meet the demand.

Ms. Lan from Hung Binh ward shared that because her family all work in offices, they don't have time to prepare banh chung (traditional Vietnamese rice cakes) for Tet (Lunar New Year). "The price of 30,000 - 50,000 VND per cake is quite reasonable," Ms. Lan said.

Busy delivery drivers at the end of the year.

These days, Dao Van Huy, a student at Vinh University, is busy with his job as a delivery driver. Huy said: "Because we saw this as a 'hot' profession, we formed a group to provide delivery services more than a year ago. During holidays, Christmas, and especially at the end of the year, the demand for delivery services doubles or triples compared to normal days. On average, I deliver to nearly 20 customers a day."

Delivery services are a popular choice for many people during the Lunar New Year holiday.

As Tet (Lunar New Year) approaches, the main items shipped are gifts, confectionery, household goods, and clothing. The fee per delivery within a 20km radius is approximately 15,000-30,000 VND, but this often increases by 5,000-10,000 VND during Tet, depending on the size of the goods and the distance traveled. With careful planning and route planning, delivery drivers can earn a considerable amount during Tet.

Towards the end of the year, many people choose door-to-door delivery services so they can use that time to do other things. Due to its simple operation, low cost, and enthusiastic and efficient service, this is a preferred service for many during the Tet holiday.

The "beauty" season of the year

At the end of the year, everyone wants to beautify themselves to look their best for Tet (Lunar New Year), so this time is called the "peak business season" of the year by beauty salon owners. Lucky Lun, the owner of a barbershop, shared: "Currently, the salon has 10 hairdressers. Although the shop has hired more staff, in the days leading up to Tet, the number of customers increases 3-4 times compared to normal days, so we still can't meet all customer demand."

As Tet (Lunar New Year) approaches, his hair salon extends its operating hours to meet customer demand. The average number of customers per day ranges from 40 to 50, generating approximately 15 million VND in revenue daily.

Ms. Ngoc Tra, a hairdresser in Hung Dung ward, humorously shared: "It's busy season, so even though I'm very tired, I try my best to be cheerful and enthusiastic in 'pleasing' my 'customers'."

In addition, other beauty services such as facial masks, skin whitening, eyelash extensions, and nail services are also attractive to women, especially young people, at this time of year.
