On the opening day,
In the morning, firecrackers were set off, and the worship ceremony was held.
Lin Ziyan never expected that her first customer at the seafood market would be Aunt Wang, who runs a food stall.
"Ah Yan, are there any food stalls still open?" Aunt Wang asked quietly after selecting her seafood.
Business in town is good, but the limited space restricts its growth.
This place is different; each shop has plenty of space in front to place tables and chairs.
She originally just wanted to join in the fun today, but as she was strolling around, she got an idea.
Most of the regular customers at the seafood stalls are truck drivers traveling to and from the port, so moving the stall here wouldn't have any impact.
Moreover, this place can be open all day, including at night.
Aunt Wang was calculating in her mind, and the more she looked at it, the more suitable it seemed.
"You want to rent it?" Lin Ziyan asked with a smile, inwardly admiring her foresight as a seasoned businessperson.
Once the food street in this seafood market is established, it will directly impact the town's business.
Aunt Wang quickly replied, "That's right, this is a good location."
Lin Ziyan led her to the office in the seafood market.
Today is the opening day, and all the workers have gone out to help out, so there aren't many people in the office.
She took a blueprint out of the drawer and handed it to Aunt Wang.
The reserved shop space was carefully selected by Lin Ziyan; it wasn't leftover.
She's waiting for someone like Aunt Wang, a business owner who can bring customers to the seafood market, to join her.
Since Aunt Wang arrived first, she naturally got to choose the best spot—the large shop near the entrance of the seafood market.
"Tsk, Ah Yan, this spot was reserved on purpose, wasn't it? Not bad." Aunt Wang was even more tempted after looking at the picture.
If she moves the shop here, her business will only get better.
Aunt Wang didn't hesitate and immediately signed the contract.
She's an impatient person, but she reads contracts very carefully; good shops don't wait for anyone.
"I only kept a few, and every one I sign is one less," Lin Ziyan admitted frankly.
There are indeed very few food stalls left.
There are still quite a few seafood stalls, but Mr. Huo, the owner of a food shop, has already booked several large spaces for renovation, leaving even fewer shops available.
"Then I made the right choice coming today." Aunt Wang pressed her handprint and breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't stay long after signing the contract; she said a few auspicious words and then rode away on her bicycle.
Lin Ziyan had only been sitting in her office for a short while when the chubby girl came running in, panting.
"Ayan, go outside and see what's going on. The troublemakers are here."
…
At this moment, at the entrance of the seafood market.
Grandpa Qin was burning paper money, muttering, "Pushing the mountain will bring great misfortune..."
No one dared to step in and stop them, for fear of being scammed.
"Grandma Qin, what are you up to, sitting at the gate burning paper money? Don't think everyone doesn't understand!" Aunt Chen rushed over and stomped on the paper.
Her cloth shoes were instantly covered in paper dust, turning them black.
Qin Atai narrowed his sharp eyes and said loudly, "This seafood market is located on the hilltop of the village, and I have a share in it. It hasn't even opened yet, and I've already twisted my back. Isn't this obviously bad luck for me?"
"I'm burning some paper money to pray for blessings, what's wrong with that?"
She bent to the side, speaking with a righteous indignation.
Qin Atai thought to herself, "That little bastard is greedy and greedy. Why is God so blind to take her away?"
Many people in the village benefited from the situation, but the Wei family didn't get a single bit of it.
"Pray for blessings? Then why didn't you go to the temple?" Aunt Chen was so angry that she almost fainted.
People around them pointed and whispered among themselves.
"It's not like the temple is cursed against me!" Aunt Qin retorted, and continued burning paper money.
Aunt Chen wanted to step forward, but Aunt Huang stopped her, saying, "She'll try to extort you again later."
"Are we just going to let her do it like that? What will people think when they see it?"
When Lin Ziyan arrived, she smelled the familiar scent of burning paper money, and her heart skipped a beat.
More and more people gathered around, and everyone started talking about it.
"To blame someone for flattening a mountain just because you strained your back, I think that's malicious and deliberately trying to cause trouble!"
"That's right. The stalls in the seafood market are preferentially rented to nearby villagers in order to increase their income and prevent them from having to leave their homes to work elsewhere..."
“I think there might be Atai’s ancestral graves on the hilltop, otherwise things wouldn’t be like this.”
Various discussions continued, and as is human nature to join in the commotion, more and more people gathered around.
When Qin Atai looked up and saw Lin Ziyan, his eyes were fixed on her as if they were poisoned.
Her grandson comes home exhausted every day. If Lin Ziyan hadn't refused to use debt to pay the bride price, Asheng would be making money while lying down. Why would he have to work so hard from dawn till dusk?
In her heart, Aunt Qin had already cursed the Lin family a thousand times over.
Last night, after hearing her drunk son talk about the treasure bowl, she felt even more hatred for the Lin family.
It was originally her grandson's stuff, but now it's all gone to someone else.
"Grandma Qin, if you want to burn paper money, you should wait until dark. It's broad daylight now, the gods haven't gotten up yet, so your prayers will be in vain," Lin Ziyan said politely without stepping forward to stop her.
Qin Atai glared at her, "I want to burn it now, what's it to you?"
After she finished speaking, she spread out the snakeskin bag and sat down on it.
Lin Ziyan narrowed her eyes, whispered a few words to the chubby girl, and stood aside to watch the commotion.
Aunt Chen was extremely anxious; if this commotion continued, it would scare away all the customers.
A short while later, the chubby girl brought several people with her.
When Qin Atai saw the person who had arrived, his eyes gradually deepened. "It's just in time."
As long as they dare to touch her, we've achieved our goal for today. She won't leave unless we extort a hundred or two hundred yuan from her.
Who knew they would unfurl a banner and surround her?
