On February 7 (January 10), many people lined up to buy roast pork, roast chicken, and roast duck... to display on the altar for the God of Wealth's day. For many people, especially business people, the God of Wealth and the God of the Land are two extremely important gods, bringing luck and fortune to the homeowner throughout the year. |
 |
Therefore, on the 10th of January every year, people often hold a ceremony to worship the God of Wealth, to pray for favorable business and luck. |

Due to the large number of customers, a roast pork shop on Bui Huu Nghia Street (District 5) gave out queue numbers to customers. After paying, customers held their numbers in hand and lined up waiting for their names to be called. "I'm still waiting for hundreds of people ahead of me, so I don't know when my turn will come. I hope I'll still have time to make the offering before noon," said Ms. Minh (living in District 5). |

Many people breathed a sigh of relief when they were able to buy roast pork in time for the God of Wealth offering. "I ordered it two days in advance so that I could get it right away when I got to the store, but I still had to wait more than 20 minutes for my turn," said a female customer. |

At retail markets such as Hoa Binh (District 5), Thiec Market (District 11), Ba Chieu (Binh Thanh District)..., traders also set up snakehead fish grills right on the street to serve customers. "Grilled snakehead fish costs from 200,000 - 250,000 VND/fish, depending on size. This price has increased by about 20,000 VND compared to last year. We also give away vermicelli, raw vegetables, and fish sauce to customers" - said Mr. Thanh, a trader at Hoa Binh market. |

Snakehead fish offerings to the God of Wealth are displayed on the table waiting for guests. |

On the day of the God of Wealth, the offering tray usually includes a portion of boiled or roasted pork, 3 steamed shrimps and 3 boiled eggs. The prices of meat, shrimps, eggs... all increase by 10 - 15% compared to normal days. For example, green-legged shrimp costs 400,000 VND/kg, double the normal price. |
