货 huo is a verycommon character in Chinese language, which can mean 'goods' or 'commodity'. In the daily life, 货 represents any outcome of work, in manufacturing but also services and products. '干货' ganhuo, literally to 'make goods' is a popular way of saying 'to work' (official documents have even adopted the term). For Chinese new year, people will stock their home with 年货 (nian huo) litteraly 'yearly goods' : fruits, vegetables, sunflower seeds and other delicacies for the celebrations.
