The living image of a rural market and the smell of fresh fish

The life of our rural town is always full of a different simplicity and beauty. When the golden morning sun illuminates the surroundings, the small markets of the village also come back to life. The atmosphere of these markets is completely different from the mechanical noise of the city, which fills the mind with a strange tranquility. The dusty roads around and the busyness of the common people together paint a perfect picture.

As seen in the picture, the small fish market sitting in a corner of the village reminds us of our traditional rural culture. A seating area has been created by hanging red and blue tarpaulins on a scaffold made of bamboo and wood. Right in front of it, some fresh local fish are arranged on a clean plate or dish on the ground. Among these fish, we usually find local fish like shoal carrot or taki, which is one of the main sources of rural nutrition.

The vendor sitting on one side is carefully arranging his stall and waiting for the buyer. He is wearing a simple lungi and shirt and an old-fashioned scale or digital scale is kept next to him for measuring the fish. In addition, black plastic balls or buckets are being used to clean the fish or hold water. There is no artificiality in this whole scene, but there is the pure truth and simplicity of rural life known for thousands of years.

In the mechanical life of the city, the taste of frozen fish stored in the refrigerator of the supermarket and the taste of this fresh fish from the village can never be the same. Live fish caught from the river or the bank are brought directly to the market for sale. Buyers also buy this fresh fish with confidence to cook for their own families. The familiar smiles on the faces of the seller and the buyer and the mutual chatter make the market atmosphere even more lively.

Our daily meat needs are met depending on the sweaty work of these ordinary people. Their life struggle may be a bit difficult, but their honesty and simplicity leave a deep mark in our hearts. No matter how much modernity touches us, our roots are hidden in these rural markets and alleys. Such scenes remind us how strong and beautiful our roots are.

Every morning, the sight of such small markets awakens our sense of life anew. This ever-familiar form around us awakens a deep sense of peace in the corners of our minds. These simple people of the village and their way of life are an integral part of our culture that will remain intact forever.
