Selling - Yobiuri

Japanese: 呼売 - よびうり

To walk around selling goods while shouting loudly.
[Europe]
In major European cities, since the Middle Ages, peddlers who walked the streets hawking small items on their shoulders or in small carts, making a distinctive sound as they hawked, were an essential part of the lives of ordinary people. It was not until the second half of the 19th century that they gradually began to disappear from the streets. They sold everything necessary for the daily life of ordinary people, but the most popular business was vegetables, fruit, fish, butter, cheese and other foodstuffs, as well as vinegar and spices, and then general merchandise.

Japanese:

高声で呼ばわりながら商品を売り歩くこと。
［ヨーロッパ］
　ヨーロッパの主要都市では，中世から路上で独特の売声を響かせて，少量の品物を肩から掛け，あるいは小さな荷車にのせて売り歩く細民が，庶民の生活に欠かせない存在になっていた。しだいにその姿が路上から消え始めるのは19世紀後半になってである。　庶民の日常生活に必要なあらゆるものが売られたが，とくに野菜，果物，魚，バター，チーズなどの食料品に酢や香辛料，次いで日用雑貨の商売が盛んであった。
