"Suitable as a gift"
The death anniversary of God Tai is not only an opportunity for people to buy gold for luck but also an opportunity for feng shui food items, with the meaning of fortune, to attract customers.
According to a reporter's survey on February 6 (ie January 9 of the lunar calendar), the types of cakes offered to worship Than Tai are quite diverse in material and shape.
Vegetarian bags with many shapes such as peach blossoms, yellow tofu, carp, etc. are also becoming a trend, attracting the attention of many people.
Ms. Do Thi Phuong - a trader at Hang Be market (Hoan Kiem, Hanoi) shared: "The vegetarian bag was shaped and shaped by me. The cake is made from natural ingredients such as flour, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin for color. Therefore, it is not only beautiful but also safe for health".
''It is expected that this item will best sell tomorrow morning, January 10 of the lunar calendar. The cakes not only have a lucky meaning but are also suitable for offering or as gifts,'' Ms. Phuong excitedly said.
Mr. Do Quang Thang - a trader at Hang Be market (Hoan Kiem), shared: ''The number of customers ordering daily to God Tai is expected to double compared to normal days. Although the price is quite high, customers are willing to spend money because they believe that dishes shaped like feng shui will bring luck and fortune''.
Attracting buyers
Not only steamed buns, feng shui themed cakes with images of the God of Wealth, gold bags, money bags, etc. are also very popular.
According to Ms. Tran Ngoc Mai - owner of a cake shop (Dong Da, Hanoi), the number of customers ordering cakes for God of Wealth Day has increased sharply in recent days. It is expected to sell 50 - 100 cakes to serve this holiday.
''Most customers pre-order and request home delivery. With a variety of designs, this year the number of customers is quite high, the store has to work at full capacity to meet demand,'' Ms. Mai shared.
Ms. Hoang Minh Anh (Ba Dinh, Hanoi) said that this year she saw a very diverse and beautiful Chu Tai day cake design so she wanted to try it.
"Before, I only bought gold or simple offerings, but this year I found gold bag-shaped ice creams and money very interesting, so I wanted to try buying them to offer and enjoy it," Minh Anh shared.
Also choosing cake and ice cream for the Than Tai holiday, Mr. Le Hoang Nam (Hoan Kiem) said: "These unique cakes not only make the altar more beautiful but also show his desire to do business smoothly and widely in a new year. I always believe that careful preparation this day will bring good luck to my family's business."
