Chapter 188: Crowds of People

The steel mill closes at five o'clock, and before six o'clock, the place is already packed with people.

There were quite a few people gathered at those stalls.

There are also many small stalls selling things. People in the county have nowhere to go after work on weekdays, so when they hear that there is a night market near the steel plant, they all come here.

The bicycle shed in the factory is almost full.

From time to time, you can hear people around you saying, "Hurry, hurry, hurry." Now there are long queues for the delicious food.

Shen Qingyue had overstocked everything except squid. Now that she had a cold storage, she could stock up a bit more.

There is really no end to the snacks here.

Suddenly Shen Qingyue's shoulder was patted.

Shen Qingyue turned around and saw that it was He Zhengchen who brought her a piece of watermelon that had been chilled with well water.

Take a mouthful of the juice. It is refreshing and thirst-quenching, with a hint of sweetness.

Shen Qingyue really loves this: "How many watermelons did you take?"

Although they are the bosses, they feel embarrassed to eat alone, so everyone has something to share.

Like Chef Li who sat aside and ate a big watermelon after closing his grilled squid stall.

In this hot weather, being comforted by watermelon is more satisfying than eating anything else.

He Zhengchen said, "I took six." These watermelons were all over 20 kilograms. It was enough to share.

Shen Qingyue said: "Why don't we not sell these watermelons? We can eat the rest ourselves."

It is midsummer now and the local watermelons are harvested, but the local watermelons are average in sweetness, and have thick flesh and thick skin.

Everyone wants to buy their big watermelons even if they have to pay an extra two cents per pound.

Shen Qingyue had already built three greenhouses, and she wasn't the only one growing watermelons. The watermelons were only sold in limited quantities until now.

He Zhengchen also likes to eat watermelon.

The remaining ones are just right for the people in their courtyard, whoever catches up can eat them. I don’t want to sell them.

He Zhengchen asked, "Then do you dare to tell Sister Ying?"

Shen Qingyue rarely shut her mouth. She didn't dare!

Sister-in-law Ying is now worried about fruits. She rides a tricycle around the country all day looking for fruits, and her skin has become two shades darker.

At this time, they said that watermelons were no longer for sale.

Shen Qingyue was really afraid that Sister Ying would get angry and cause trouble.

I had to give up with regret.

There are many delicious fruits, but Xitian watermelon must have a place. No other fruit can replace it!

Seeing He Zhengchen eating the watermelon in small bites, and looking reluctant to finish it, Shen Qingyue said proudly: "It's okay, we'll take over the mountain." They planted a lot of watermelon this time.

This time we planted a variety of fruits.

Especially the big cream strawberries. There is a lot of space on the mountain, and the strawberries ripen quickly, so it won’t be long before we can eat them.

There are about a hundred stalls in the night market.

There is everything to eat and drink.

But the fact that Shen Qingyue and his barbecue chefs, stall owners, and even the helpers were all eating big watermelons still made the diners who came here very greedy.

People kept coming to ask, "Do you have any watermelons for sale?"

In this place full of fireworks, there is a lack of something fresh and lively.

This gave Shen Qingyue a lot of inspiration. Tomorrow, I'll ask Sister Ying to come over and set up a stall.

Everyone finished their watermelon in just a few bites. There were so many people around that they were too busy and couldn't savor it properly!

Shen Qingyue didn't have a stall, so she was mainly responsible for coordination and security. She looked around to avoid too many people causing trouble.

Those who have attended barbecue festivals before are well prepared.

The truck carrying goods was so full that it was scary to look at.

The other stall owners hadn't taken any notice, but now they knew they hadn't brought enough.

But when it comes to cooking, families may not prepare too much, so they have to close up shop right after we start.

On the way back, I saw people on the street still rushing to the steel plant, and my heart was bleeding.

We'll have to stock up tomorrow. Opportunities like this don't come around often.

While Shen Qingyue was inspecting, someone suddenly spoke up: "Miss Shen."

Shen Qingyue turned around and was surprised to find that the person who came was the county's top official.

Shen Qingyue was about to call for help when the county leader quickly waved his hand. She said, "I'm just here to take a look. Please don't make a big fuss."

Shen Qingyue said: "Then I'll take you around."

The county chief said, "That's great." He then retrieved his secretary. There were so many people here, it was easy to get separated.

Shen Qingyue took them to the stalls to have a look, and many of the food was for them to enjoy.

The county's top leader and his secretary gradually had more and more food in their hands.

Even though they always go to restaurants when they travel on business, the food in restaurants may not be as delicious as the food at night market stalls.

At first, the two of them were still concerned about etiquette, afraid that it would be indecent if others saw them.

But the food was hanging on my hands, emitting a faint fragrance, and I had all just gotten off work. I hadn't eaten dinner yet, and it was past five o'clock, which was right when dinner started. How could I bear this?

I took a bite and couldn't stop eating.

Shen Qingyue was afraid that they would dislike the strong smell of stinky tofu.

But these two people were eating and drinking as much as they wanted.

Seeing that the fried stinky tofu stall was crowded, I knew it must be delicious, so I went over to try it.

When you put it in your mouth, it smells stinky and fragrant.

People around may dislike it, but the people who eat it don’t think so.

No wonder people love to smash street stalls. It really has a unique charm.

The secretary next to him said to the county leader, "This place is really well organized."

Looking at Shen Qingyue, there was some approval in his eyes.

Everyone else thinks the steel plant is outstanding, but county leaders like them see everything.

Shen Qingyue deserves the credit for turning these into reality.

It is indeed capable. The steel plant covers a large area and is located on the edge of the county town. Usually, few people come here.

Look how lively it is now, it’s a hundred times more lively than the county center.

Seeing that people were still flocking here, the county leader said, "The county really needs a place to stroll."

When the steel plant was building the building, many people thought that their idea was crazy. Apart from people from their own factory, who would come here to buy it?

As a result, it really exists, and the calls are getting louder and louder.

Even they have relatives asking when the property will be available for sale so they can buy a house there.

The county leader said, "Take us to see the house." He had been here before when the six buildings were sold here.

Some time passed and I heard that the decoration company did a great job.

I want to buy an apartment just for this decoration, otherwise it won’t be worthy of such good decoration.

Shen Qingyue took them to look at houses, and originally brought the county leader and his secretary with her. Who would have thought that there would be a group of people following them unknowingly?

They were all locals who came here to visit the night market. They had heard about the house viewing, but they had never seen one before. They just happened to go along the main road to take a look.

The county's top leader did not refuse, and even so, many people came to see the house.

After seeing the six sets of decorations, even the county leader liked them and said it would be comfortable to live in such a place.

The county leaders all liked it after seeing it, not to mention other people who were completely shocked.

Those who were originally strolling around have started to think about buying a house. They will discuss it with their family when they return. This trip was really worthwhile.
