Today, at the fair the commune organizes a job transaction floor, so the customers order a lot. From the early morning, her whole family focused on cutting off the tops of the chayote trees. A lot more other customers  wanted to buy tops of the chayote trees but there were not any left. Therefore she had to collect tops of the chayote trees from a few families. Although customers ordered a lot, she still carefully cut each of the green tops of vegetables, which is good for customers. Ms. Tuy said: The entire area of ​​the chayote trees has never been sold in the retail market. For many years, customers have come to the gảden to buy them.
