"Buying and Selling."
The people long ago lived very plainly.They used their own produce ,as food and used to manufacture their own clothes.
Shops were scarce long ago except in the towns.Fairs were held at the cross -roads;they used to have special days for marketing.Mostly on Sundays after mass farm produce ,also cattle ,sheep and horses were sold.Money was very scarce at that time ,but more valuable than now-a-days.The old people were very odd in some ways .They thought Friday a very lucky day to start their work.- Collector
