Sell hundreds of orders of chicken wings every day
Since December 23, at Hang Be market (Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi), shops selling boiled chicken with wings have always been overloaded with a large number of customers. To prepare for orders to serve customers during Tet, the vendors here have had to prepare from 2 am every day.
Ms. Hoang Dung in Hoan Kiem, Hanoi, owner of a famous chicken shop in Hang Be market, shared: "Every day, we have to wake up at 2 am to prepare hundreds of chickens.The process of preparing chickens, boiling chickens, and decorating them...must be done quickly and meticulously to serve customers during this Tet holiday.
Unlike normal days, chickens sold during Tet must be both delicious and beautiful, and the process of making the products is also more elaborate.Typically, on the recent Ong Cong Ong Tao Day, my shop was packed from morning to night, with no time to rest.We sold an average of 100 chickens each day."
Also a long-time chicken seller at this market, Ms. To Nga, the owner of another chicken shop, said that preparing a delicious, beautiful chicken is not simple for many families.Many people want to have a full tray of food, but do not have much time to make it themselves.Therefore, every year during Tet, chicken shops on the famous culinary street in Hanoi are always overloaded.
“This year, the price of chicken has been adjusted compared to last year.If last year, a kilo of chicken cost 200,000 VND, now it has increased to about 220,000 - 230,000 VND/kg.This price increase is due to many factors, so the cost of a complete chicken has also increased significantly, about 650,000 - 700,000 VND depending on the weight,” Ms. To Nga shared.
With a busy work schedule, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Vinh in Ba Dinh, Hanoi chose to buy pre-boiled chicken at Hang Be market to save time preparing for the New Year's Eve offering tray.
"These days, everyone is busy, buying pre-boiled chicken like this is a suitable choice.The chicken here is always fresh and delicious, the meat is firm.The taste of boiled chicken is very delicious, my family goes to Hang Be market every year to choose chicken for the New Year's Eve offering tray.
During this time, the price of chicken increases significantly, some big chickens can cost up to nearly 1 million VND, however, to have a decent offering tray, in my opinion, spending on this amount is very reasonable," Mr. Vinh shared.
To meet the increasing demand of customers, the vendors at Hang Be market have prepared very carefully, from the raw materials to the processed dishes, all are prepared many days in advance. Besides boiled chicken with wings, other items such as roasted bird, bamboo shoot soup, pork skin soup, sticky rice with gac fruit, spring rolls, bean sprouts... are also sold in a variety of ways and attract many people's attention.
