On October 4, after the food station resumed business, the number of tourists dropped sharply, and Xie Ling sighed.
Zhou Xiang, however, wasn't worried. There was still a five-day fashion show at the dock! Who doesn't love seeing something new? The impact on the food stall was to be expected. It would gradually recover, but it was unlikely to be as prosperous as before.
Once the outer garden of the health park is completed and opened for business, business will be even worse. For now, let’s just leave it like this!
The food station business has deteriorated, and the business on the streets of the market town has also been affected, but overall it is still okay. After all, the market here has been formed, and everyone is used to coming here on weekends.
But Zhang Shanbiao was worried! The newly built South Street hadn't even started to get busy yet, and the market flow had shrunk. What should he do?
Zhou Xiang rolled his eyes at Zhang Shanbiao, who came up to him and complained, "Are you saying I shouldn't give advice to the county?"
"No, no, absolutely not," Zhang Shanbiao quickly defended himself, "I'm just worried that the market in the town will get worse and worse."
"First, focus on building the new countryside! Then, if you get promoted, why would you care about whether the market in the town is good or not?"
"I won't get promoted!" Zhang Shanbiao said firmly. "I'm registered in the town and have bought a house. I'm not going anywhere else. I'm going to die here."
"People below you will be suffocated to death if you block their path to success."
"If they have the guts, just jump over me! I won't stop them from running forward. Now, what should we do? If we get really cold, it will be difficult to warm up again."
"Can't you use your brain? The Fashion Festival is only held three days a month. The rest of the time, the docks and the old street attract people from Huai County and outsiders. We attract people from surrounding towns, so there are fewer people from Huai County.
Besides, we have the advantage of Huangmei Opera on the first floor of the shopping mall and the convenience of pick-up and drop-off at the supermarket. Don't be too greedy. The mood of the town next door before is the same as your current mood."
"No!" How could Zhang Shanbiao bear to lose such a huge amount of traffic? "Auntie, please think of a way!"
Zhou wanted to glare at him, but seeing that he was still smiling flatteringly, he could only remind him, "Gimmick! Whatever you do must have a refreshing gimmick. Go back and mobilize your leadership team to go there yourself."
Zhang Shanbiao wanted to ask more questions, but Ling Ran pushed him into the elevator.
On the 6th, there were slightly more people at the food station, but Xie Ling still wasn't happy.
The 7th was similar to the 6th. Classes started on the 8th, and the food station was completely deserted except for those fishing enthusiasts in Yuhu.
Zhou Xiang went to the pig pen and saw his uncle's listless appearance. He said with a smile: "Uncle, we don't charge admission to train the piglets, and the pig pen's big payout is at the end of the year."
She was worried that the feed she processed wouldn't be enough for the health farm! With fewer people watching the piglet show, wouldn't she save on dry noodle feed? Boiling the pig feed directly was easier and more time-consuming than making dry noodle feed.
"Okay!" Xie Ling cheered up. His job was to train the piglets, and he would let Boss Zhou worry about the rest.
Because of the adjustment of the National Day holiday, Saturday the 11th is a working day and the 12th is a rest day. Suddenly, there are more tourists. Everyone said that they missed it a little since they saw the silly and cute piglets running for a long time.
Xie Lin's face was full of smiles again. This was recognition of his work! Training the piglets was even more exciting.
On October 18, Zhou Kai's son Lailai was born. The name Lailai was given by the baby's father because he originally planned to have more than two children. Thinking of the combination and continuity of the names Haohao and Dangdang, he also wanted one. After thinking about it, he could only think of Lailaiquqi, and his full name was Guo Lai.
When Zhou Xiang heard the name, he asked him if he wanted to call his two sons over.
Zhou Kai grinned widely, "Not bad! Come back, come back, come back, how nice is that?"
Zhou Xiang glanced at him sideways and lowered his voice, "If your child's grandmother successfully appeals to Jia Jia, will she be asked to walk back and forth? If she only adds to the matter without making any changes, will she be asked to walk back and forth?"
Zhou Kai clapped his hands, "Oh! That shows I'm so smart. I just gave it a nickname. No matter how I change the surname, it's always so pleasant to the ear. I guess this name is the same as my cousin's, and there are very few people with the same name."
Zhou wanted to slap him hard on the back, "Why are you so jumpy? You can't do that in the room. It's easy to scare the child. You're the father and you named the child. If the child blames you in the future, don't push the blame on someone else."
"Got it," Zhou Kai stood up. "I'm going to go see the kids. Mom, please don't take your anger out on me and bully my kids too."
Zhou Xiang believed that Xia Cuilan would vomit three liters of blood when she heard this.
On the 20th, Mao Xiaolu and Zhou Nian came to Zhou's house with bags in their hands, and asked Zhou Xiang to guess what was in the bags with mysterious looks on their faces.
"Hanfu." Such a simple answer and you still asked her to guess?
Uh, Mao Xiaolu paused, "How boring, how did you guess it so quickly?"
"Even a fool can guess it, right?" Zhou Xiang rolled her eyes. She was the one who instructed these two people to ask Blind Auntie and Auntie Wang to make the clothes. Tomorrow is the day of the Hanfu show. If it's not Hanfu, what else could it be?
Zhou Nian covered her mouth and laughed. She liked to see Mao Xiaolu stunned by Zhou Xiang's teasing, and the fake cleverness on her surface was instantly broken.
"Great! You dare to laugh at me?" Mao Xiaolu pounced on Zhou Nian and tickled her.
Zhou Nian was very ticklish, so when Mao Xiaolu tickled her, she immediately collapsed on the sofa laughing, and only then did Mao Xiaolu let her go.
"Let's go to the room and change clothes for Zhou Xiang to see if there is anything inappropriate." Mao Xiaolu pulled up the limp Zhou Nian.
When the two of them came out after changing their clothes, Zhou Xiang was really amazed.
Mao Xiaolu wore a waist-length skirt with a light pink top and a light purple skirt. The long skirt dragged on the ground, and her dark purple embroidered shoes were faintly visible when she walked.
Zhou Nian wore a chest-length skirt, a light yellow top, a light green skirt, and a pair of milky white embroidered shoes.
The two of them walked towards Zhou Xiang gracefully and slowly with light lotus steps. Zhou Xiang put his fingers in his mouth, whistled loudly, showing a pig-like expression, and blinked his big eyes vigorously, which made the two slightly restrained people laugh.
"How is it?" Mao Xiaolu asked.
"Very good!" Zhou Xiang nodded vigorously. "Did my blind aunt make these? What about her eyes?"
"No, no," Zhou Nian explained quickly. She knew Zhou Xiang was worried about the blind lady's eyes. "These were cut by the blind lady and sewn by Aunt Wang."
"Yes," Mao Xiaolu said more carefully, "the blind aunt said that her master taught her how to make Hanfu, but she couldn't sew anymore. So we called aunt Wang together and asked the blind aunt to cut and then teach her how to sew. The shoes were also made by aunt Wang. Hehe, aunt Wang has made some progress and is planning to make a few sets to sell!"
Aunt Wang is such a money-grubber! Zhou Xiang shook his head and laughed, "Looks like she still has to rely on you to bring her business!"
"Yes," Mao Xiaolu nodded, "Auntie Wang reduced our labor costs and asked us to bring her some business."
