Some people say that setting up a stall is like a rat crossing the street, always having to avoid the chengguan, but for some people, setting up a stall may be their only choice or the most correct choice at the moment. I feel that since the epidemic, the matter of setting up stalls has been liked by more and more people.
I have to say that setting up a stall is very hard, not something that ordinary people can accept, just like I asked a colleague who grew up in the city, basically never left the city, and asked him if he was really poor one day, would he accept to set up a stall, he himself said no, he would rather eat less, wear almost than go, because of the wind and rain, sometimes have to suffer from other people's different eyes.
But now the stalls are still more and more year by year, especially after coming back to work this year, the urban village food street downstairs in my own dormitory, used to open all kinds of snacks and fast food restaurants, this time back, either not open yet, or the door is posted with transfer, some years ago was still open, now closed down.
That day, when I was thinking about what to eat, the nearest takeaway was several kilometers away, and it took more than an hour to come over, thinking that I would go downstairs and buy some bread or instant noodles to eat. But downstairs, I saw that there were many stalls coming out one after another, and these stalls were either snacks, fried noodles, and sushi and rice balls.
There are so many kinds of stalls that I thought were just a few stalls, but I didn't expect to go forward, and basically the whole street was almost full, full of all kinds of food. The difference from before is that it is not only an uncle and aunt who set up a stall, but also many young people, all of whom set up a stall together with two or three people.
And it didn't take long for some passers-by to come one after another, and the business of the whole street seemed to be getting better, and the number of people gradually increased. The big difference is that the various shops behind the stalls are basically empty, and in these years, no one wants the shops, but they all go to the stalls.
Maybe it's really because of economic problems, or because the rent is really expensive, after all, it has come to this point, and no one wants a bunk, what do you say?
