Peddling grandma in Ningyocho

[Hidekun] June 6, 2014 14:00

On the street near the amazake Yokocho intersection in Ningyocho, there is a grandmother who is peddling homemade vegetables and food.
85 years old To Yosan, who runs a farmhouse in Abiko, Chiba Prefecture. Toyosan's mother was also doing peddling in Ningyocho, and he seems to have been doing peddling in Ningyocho for about 50 years.
Currently, we peddling about twice a week (closed on rainy days), and the time is from around 6:30 am to after noon. "In the morning, if you're 60 years old, you'll drive me so far. Most of the vegetables brought will be sold out until afternoon, so take a vacant train around 2:00 pm to return to Abiko slowly. "
"Most customers are regulars who choose their own vegetables and leave their money. At this time, tomatoes have a reputation for being sweet and delicious, and they sold out early today. In the past, there were a lot of people doing peddling and there were even dedicated trains, but now it is almost gone. I'm a good year, so I can stop at any time, but there are customers who are looking forward to coming. Everyone in Ningyocho, including the chairman of the town, is continuing because people are good. "

Please stay fine and come to Ningyocho.
