Although the puppies were only two or three months old, they could guard the door and bark a few times, giving Guo Xuehua a sense of security. She moved to the warehouse building with her four daughters.
At the end of November, the weather turned cold. Ling Ran, who was temporarily serving as the accountant at the school, paid the salaries of Zhou Zuoping and his son and Liu Xuewen, and the construction site stopped work and went on holiday.
Construction on Xindong Street was also suspended. It was too cold to do any work, and the town immediately became quiet.
When the townspeople were still a little uncomfortable, the Beitou Shopping Mall became lively again. There was a burst of firecrackers, and the food court of the Xuzhen Shopping Mall opened. Yes, this shopping mall was simply called the Xuzhen Shopping Mall. Zhou, who was too lazy to come up with a name, came up with it.
The people in the market town who love to join in the fun planned to go and see what this food street was like.
Zuo Zhen has completed her internship and started working officially. She was assigned by Zhou Xiang to manage the finances of the shopping mall. At the same time, Lu Jin was assigned the position of shopping mall manager, in charge of all matters from the first to the seventh floors.
It seems like a lot of things to do, but in fact, you only need to manage the first and second floors, and negotiate with the person in charge of the Kong family.
Kong Keyan, the head of the town of the Kong family, is a branch of the family. He is in his forties and has a kind and friendly face. He knows the purpose of coming to the town, which is to ease the hatred between the Zhou family and Zhou Xiang, and even to make friends with Zhou Xiang.
Because of his appearance, and more importantly, because of his calm and gentle temperament, he was sent here by the head of the family.
Although it seemed that he had been demoted, after hearing the personal explanations from the two previous heads of the family, he knew that he was actually highly valued.
Therefore, although the town was dilapidated, the townspeople were ignorant, and the Zhou family's shopping mall manager was bland and formal when dealing with him, he still smiled good-naturedly and did his job conscientiously.
Now that the food court on the first floor is open, he brought a few of his men who came to the town with him to go to the first floor to show his support.
The townspeople carefully stepped over the cement bricks, passed through the transparent glass door, and stepped into the spacious first floor. At this time, the light gray marble floor was shining brightly with sunlight.
Looking up, I saw the sunlight pouring down from the large skylight over 30 meters high, making me feel a little dizzy.
In the middle of the large open space of several hundred square meters, there is only a sign: Delicious food that every guest will never forget.
Next to the escalators on both sides and behind the sign, there are neatly placed connected dining tables and chairs.
There are two rows of stalls on the south and east walls, but only a dozen or so are open near the south wall.
At this time, some people were already sitting in the two rows of connected dining tables and chairs on the south side, enjoying their meal.
It's not fake, it's not a scam, but it was the first time that the Kong family came into contact with the snacks in the market town. They came here in October, and the weather was getting cold, so the snack stalls couldn't be set up. Most of the snacks in the market town are suitable for summer.
Look, there are cold skin, cold noodles, and giant salamanders, all of which are cold dishes, served with barbecue and spicy hot pot. Each person also has a bowl of wontons. Several people couldn't stop eating and said that this was the authentic Longguo snack they had tasted, and it gave them a home feeling. They also said that they had been here for more than a month before they could eat it, which was a big loss.
The townspeople held their hands to their stomachs. It was around ten o'clock in the morning, and their stomachs were a little rumbling. What was going on?
How about trying a bowl? There are hot, cold, roasted, boiled, and steamed options. After strolling through the rows of stalls, I feel like trying them all.
Several snack shop owners who were tricked by Xie Lin into renting their stalls for free for a month smiled. After the firecrackers, they waited anxiously. Although the stalls were free, they had to pay for water and electricity. If business was not good, their work would be in vain. Now, not only did the people who were renovating upstairs come down to eat, but the townspeople also came, which gave them hope.
Several townspeople who came in couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and ordered a snack each. Soon, the food arrived and they took it to sit at the window seats.
While savoring the food, I looked at the few people walking on the street through the large, bright glass windows. Suddenly, I felt that I and the few people hurrying by on the street were from two different worlds. Is this what it means when angles are different, vision is different, and mood is different?
Looking at the snacks in the bowl which are still at the same price as before, and then looking at the environment I am in, and then thinking about the dining table at home and the scenes of eating at roadside stalls in the past, alas, I can’t think about it. At home, that’s called filling my stomach, while eating at roadside stalls can satisfy my cravings.
Here, it is called gourmet food. Any food paired with this environment and atmosphere is called gourmet food. Eating it is a beautiful taste and enjoyment.
Huh? When did a rough guy like me develop such artistic talent?
Eat quickly, eat quickly, don’t let your wife catch you and scold you, because she is cooking at home.
On the first day of opening, the dozen or so stalls in the food street were not as prosperous as in the summer, but the business was pretty good, which gave the owners hope. This place is still okay, at least it can be open in winter. It is said that when the weather gets colder, the air conditioners will be turned on.
Ma Zhao's barbecue is placed in the easternmost corner because there is a large window and a large exhaust fan installed there.
He was very optimistic about this food street. First of all, the environment here was great. Moreover, the supermarket upstairs was not open yet. Once the school was on vacation, this place would definitely become lively.
Wang Qiao was even less worried, as there was nothing Zhou couldn't accomplish. The current situation was just a transitional period. He heard that the Kong family, who had rented the upper floors, were planning to use one floor as a cinema. Haha, if there really was a cinema, then this place would be not much different from the county!
Ling Ran naturally went to inspect the food court and reported it to his wife. His wife smiled and said, "It's okay. We don't have to worry about the supermarket and the Kong family's cinema during the winter vacation. The Kong family will go to the county town to promote the supermarket and cinema."
Even if the market is closed, the townspeople have a good place to go. They can buy a snack and sit and watch the street. They have never found the streets of a market town so interesting. Or they can call a few people, eat some barbecue, buy a bottle of beer, and chat for a while. Huh? That's not right! Why are they learning to spend and enjoy themselves instead of making money?
After the food street opened, Jiang Weihua would often visit it with A-Lian and the teacher. They would visit in the morning and afternoon, and they would eat a lot for three meals a day, as he and his wife were preparing for pregnancy!
Professor Chu only eats four meals a day at most, which means that Jiang Weihua can't call him in the morning.
If ordinary townspeople are willing to enjoy the food court, then the grain station workers and housekeepers who have more money are even more willing to splurge. Well, it doesn't matter if you don't go every day or every other day. You always feel empty inside. What are you doing at home? How much better to go out and enjoy some snacks and delicious food?
I was even attracted by the cheerful laughter on the second floor, and followed others to take the step-less escalator to the second floor. When I got off the elevator, I was directly faced with the venue blocked by the glass wall.
The venue is divided into two parts. The largest part has many toy cars stuck to the ground with no wheels visible.
There were also a few young men turning the steering wheels of the toy cars, driving and crashing them randomly, and laughing after each crash.
What's this?
Someone nearby explained, "Bumper cars can be played by both adults and children, and they won't flip over even if you get hit."
Then the man exchanged a handful of coins with the female comrade guarding the venue, went in, found a stationary car, sat in it, stuffed a coin into somewhere, and the car started immediately.
