Back in the old days there was an open-air bazaar in front of Nga Tsin Wai's ancestral hall
When Grandma Leung worked in factories, she usually bought food at the market in Kowloon City each morning. She knew the proprietor of a seafood stall there who she had met at night school and had later gone on to become a classmate in a worker union’s sewing class. Having made her fortune, the owner eventually emigrated to Australia to run a seafood stall there. Outside Nga Tsin Wai’s Ng Clan Ancestral Hall was an open-air bazaar with a lot of fish, vegetable, pork and fruit stalls where Grandma Leung often frequented. Boat people sometimes sold fish here. Vegetables were on offer at 15 cents per catty, dropping to 5 cents per catty just before the market closed for the day. Grandma Leung sighs that the people of Nga Tsin Wai didn’t have a clue as to how to run a business, leasing the stalls at cheap prices to outsiders. Business at the bazaar was good, with many people from the resettlement estate coming over to snap up bargains there. All the vendors made money. The proprietor of a fruit stall even bought a property in San Po Kong.
