The rhythmic gongs and drums beat the merchant's footsteps, and the groceries on his body babbled with his footsteps. The suona imitates the selling sound of a salesperson, which is light and humorous, vivid and tactful. The eight tone Chaoshan dialect's selling sound has a long lingering rhyme, with ups and downs like an ancient song. The suona sometimes speaks one sentence at a time, as if calling "tofu pudding - Caoxiao - Frozen Caoxiao -", and sometimes asks and answers each other with string music, as if a group of children followed along in a lively way, also seemingly learning to hawk. This joyful melody melts the hard work of the salesperson carrying goods and rushing around to sell, nourishing ordinary happiness and satisfaction.
