Nowadays all the major supermarkets only close a few hours early on New Year's Eve. But many housewives are still in the habit of going on a big shopping spree to stock up for the New Year holiday, often buying three big cabbages, three pounds of mustard cabbage and even a whole leg of lamb.
儘管現在各大超市只有除夕夜提早打烊幾小時，然而許多家庭主婦仍堅守「辦年貨」的習俗，一次買三顆大白菜、二斤長年菜（大芥菜），或是一隻大羊腿的，大有人在。
