However, perhaps a long time the people of Hanoi Vietnam are no longer seen rustic bread anymore since King Temple famous dirt cake was lost.They just see it scattered in fair countryside or in the central strip of land from downwards. Then one day, on the streets of Hanoi, we caught a thin petite woman, gentle face, slowly bring back bear fruit every country seemed difficult to find them.

Ms. Tran Thi Kim Dung, the Nam Dinh, Ha Noi is 9 years to 9 years traveling with her on the shoulder of the road winding old town. A pair of simple optical load, the thin plastic layer covering the dust, the dirt off white cake smooth, soft sleeping quietly on wheels simple, low non-aromatic fresh slices of yellow dotted huom causing them to become strange taste.

As a guest, only to put the leaves into thin dirt attractive one for always hot, then sprinkle the extra fat and things of "unique" her. It is finely chopped lean meat, fried with bean roots and brittle wood ear fibers, mixed with the non-shredded. Even the sauce too, it was steaming hot and the power to add just a little sprinkle of non-scented fat. A little bit, so it's not too warm and still be called seductive fragrance. Then the client just get chopsticks, grab a slice of dirt with little people, marking the first deadly sweet and sour sauce and enjoy. Fat cake flour, bread's aroma and pleasant sauce.

Now, every dark night, a lot of customers on the block Hang Ngang, Hang Dao collective desire to return to her, after an afternoon traveling through small streets interlaced ancient streets of the place.

The heart of Hanoi market


On day 4, day 9 lunar month (4 th, 9 th, 14, 19, 24, 29) on the Hoang Hoa Tham street near a crowded market Grapefruit back here to buy flowers, ornamental plants, because they know very clearly session for the meeting on these days. Fair, an ancient culture still exists in the heart of Hanoi Vietnam is a modernized day by day ...

Grapefruit Market was built in the late nineteenth century, early twentieth century. Formerly, Grapefruit capital markets are located on land in the West Bank village of Nam Yen Thailand's West Lake. Market is located in central areas Grapefruit old man, between a craft village areas as paper, silk, textile industry, home cook, raising pigs, growing strawberries, grapefruit ... The guys are dozens of villages named, Nghia Do, The Houses , Van Long, Bai An, Yen Thai, Vong Thi, Quote Sai, East Social and households. Market Grapefruit has very good geographical position, the confluence between the river and natural Lich Thien Phu, facilitate trade exchanges bustling wharf boat. Market is located adjacent to the walls surrounding the capital city of Thang Long so densely populated by quite large.


Grapefruit from the ancient capital market where trading of goods and people in the villages and surrounding areas. According to the old mail service remaining grapefruit market has 15 stalls each trade papers by the village people who make Grapefruit. It is a paper version of Yen Thai village, their new Trade paper, the East Social Litmus paper, Yen Hoa village car.

Previously the only fair lunar December 29 each year, markets Grapefruit also sell all kinds of cattle like cattle, horses, si ... ancient trees high ten horns to the new holding out his arms in the corner road Lac Long Quan Thuy Khue and probably the same age as Buoi market. Formerly, under the trees, the uncle of bovine animals, horses standing in herds to the buyers choice. He was her old knack for making choices on 29 cattle fair because it is bordered on Tet occasion, a beautiful day and those adjacent to purchase cattle for slaughter to welcome Tet. Usually the whole village would then share a common touch to each home. Those who buy cattle to feed on the occasion said that this purchase will bring more luck in the new year.

From afar, the different areas, many sellers have prepared for their goods very carefully and bring to market from the afternoon or evening before the fair to give up the next morning. They spend the night near the market, explore each other's prices, so that the price to sell.
Grapefruit market today sell everything: from clothes, fabrics, textiles, hats, to vegetables, meat, fish, dried food such as mushrooms, wood ears, every nan, bamboo and rattan goods, crockery, kettle the bowl. But attracting more special with Hanoi still two categories are traditional flower plants and animals such as dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, ... on the day fair. In the days of the fair, the number of items like flowers and plants doubled ten times higher than usual. It is known that seedlings of all kinds sold in the fair sessions usually take from the village of planting traditional flowers and plants along the West Lake as the Yen Phu, Nghi Tam, Quang Ba, Nhat Tan or vegetables, flowers such as Tay Tuu, Phu Thuong. Want to buy the seedlings and fruit or shade trees such as jade orchid, royal orchid, with lentils, Poinciana, ... just to market Grapefruit day session. Many people do not buy Ha Thanh even invite each other but also to watch the market for flowers and plants with all sorts of different colors such as rose, lily, wall micro, hibiscus, virgin, ... These flowers bring color to the relaxation for everyone. But most special of the fair is the seed row. Previously, on every fair Grapefruit seed is the most crowded. The seller of a lot of people to see constant. These children like pigs, chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, rabbits, birds are sold with many different types. Just go to a concert alone is fair also filled a whole bag of experience, which is how to choose a dog, choosing a cat, choose chicken, choose rabbits, ...

Grapefruit has long fair with the beauty of such capital has gone into the hearts of countless people in Hanoi that there is little market is. Hanoi is rich with many markets but fair Grapefruit still embodies much of the distinction. Now, markets are no longer ancient Grapefruit busy as ever. New Market was rebuilt more beautiful, more spacious. Cultural fairs, but the excitement is still losing. Market selling cattle on 29 no longer exists. Grapefruit is also fair to the proverbial man on the market that gently deep:

Grapefruit June Cho a session
On investment, ninth on the coast pass the ball

And
Grapefruit June Cho a session
Particularly the extra session to August fifteenth
Oh, lest anyone get the wrong memory
Buying fruit playing Full Moon Harvest Festival

In our opinion, fair Grapefruit has contributed to the cultural market in particular and beauty culture in general. Therefore we must keep fair Grapefruit as cultural preservation in the national culture. Grapefruit Market in the heart of Hanoi's elegant just bring the land thousands of years of civilization, just take the simple rustic, idyllic nature as the people playing, soul back.
