When Xu An first came here to set up his stall, there were only five or six vendors. After packing up, everyone would conscientiously take away the garbage generated by their stalls.
But now that there are more vendors, some people are not so ethical. When they pack up their stalls, they take all their belongings, get on their bikes and leave, leaving behind a lot of garbage.
The floor is fairly clean when I come here every morning, but it gets dirtier and dirtier as more items are placed on it, and the dirtier and messier it gets.
Later, when some pedestrians smelled the aroma and wanted to come over to see what was being eaten, they saw all the dry and wet garbage on the ground and immediately lost their appetite, instead going to the restaurants across the street to eat.
From any perspective, this is a significant safety hazard.
It won't be long before the urban management department discovers the disorder here.
Instead of being chased around by the urban management department, it's better to get the necessary permits first and act in accordance with the rules and regulations.
When Xu An was packing up, he told a few familiar stall owners about it. They just nodded, and it was unclear whether they had taken it to heart.
However, Xu An had already fulfilled his duty to remind them; whether they listened or not was beyond his control. He didn't need to concern himself with that; he only needed to take care of himself.
Xu An still needed Uncle Dongliang's help. Since he had both a health certificate and a hygiene permit, the urban management department acted very quickly, and came over at 11 a.m. the next day to allocate a business area for Xu An.
When the relevant personnel from the urban management department arrived here, they couldn't help but frown upon seeing the situation.
From all perspectives, this food street poses significant safety hazards and needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
The leader used a pager to call over the urban management officers patrolling nearby, registered each stall, and instructed them to quickly apply for health certificates and hygiene permits. After obtaining these documents, they were to contact the officers to divide the area and collect temporary stall permits.
Today's division is only temporary. If they find any violations or failures to comply with the requirements when they come to inspect this Friday, their business equipment will be confiscated until they obtain the necessary permits.
The urban management personnel specifically emphasized that apart from the health certificate, all other certificates are free and can be obtained simply by spending some time running around.
As Xu An had all the necessary documents, he naturally received preferential treatment from the urban management officers, who allowed him to be the first to select his operating area.
To everyone's surprise, Xu An did not choose the main gate of the Shanghai Library construction site, the location with the highest and densest foot traffic.
Xu An instead chose the three-way intersection at the street entrance. Although pedestrians would enter from there, the flow of people was not as large as at the entrance.
Without explaining to the crowd, Xu An rode his tricycle to the designated area to set up his stall after the area was divided.
Right now, the entrance to the library construction site seems to be the busiest place, but Xu An knows that this situation can be changed in just three months at most.
The Haishi Library has been topped out, and there is less and less work left. Not only will the number of workers decrease, but once the construction site fence is removed, everyone will find that the main gate of the construction site is not the entrance to the Haishi Library, but a side gate.
Furthermore, food with a strong odor is not allowed in the library. At that time, this location with the highest foot traffic will become the most awkward location, as it will be unable to benefit from either side.
After the workers left, only the nearby residents and office workers across the street were left to support this food street.
The location Xu An has chosen is the entrance, which is clearly visible to nearby residents and office workers across the street, allowing him to intercept customers at the source.
