The live poultry trading market has not yet been lifted. What is the business for poultry hoarders who love to eat chickens and ducks in the streets?

At noon that day, the reporter visited the "Huan Shanghuang", "Zhou Hei Ya", "Exotic" and other brands of Lu Cai shops in Honggutan. In these traditional delicatessens, you can't see the excitement of the past. However, the shipments of chickens and ducks have increased over the past two days.
