Chapter 154 Food Festival Venue Construction
4:15 PM, a rented room in an urban village.
In the kitchen, the chopped scallions have already been packed into a food storage container.
The lid of the broth pot next to it was slightly ajar, and the broth made from old hen was emitting a fragrant aroma.
Lin Chen stood by the sink, washed his hands with hand sanitizer, and then grabbed a dry towel from the wall to dry them.
"Brother Chen, I've gathered all the equipment by the door. Isn't it about time?"
Wang Hai walked over from the living room and casually closed the storage box used to hold disposable tableware.
"Okay, let's go pick up Tangtang."
Lin Chen hung the towel back in its place and took off his apron.
Without exchanging any unnecessary words, Lin Chen picked up the car keys, and Wang Hai followed behind, going downstairs one after the other.
The two drove their van straight to Qiming Bilingual Kindergarten.
……
At 4:30 pm, at the kindergarten gate.
The school bell rang on time, and the area outside the pick-up and drop-off area was filled with parents.
Wang Hai parked the bread cart in the usual spot, and the two walked to the gate.
As the children from each class lined up and walked out under the guidance of their teachers, Tangtang's figure with her little schoolbag quickly came into view.
"Daddy! Fatty Uncle!"
The little girl spotted Lin Chen at a glance and happily ran over with her short legs.
Lin Chen caught his daughter as she rushed towards him and gently tidied the stray hairs on her forehead.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Wang, come pick up Tangtang."
Teacher Liu walked forward with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Liu."
Lin Chen nodded slightly in thanks.
"It's not hard work. Tangtang was especially well-behaved today. She even helped the teacher distribute the little apples at lunchtime."
Teacher Liu smiled and patted Tangtang's little head.
"Hehe, I'm the teacher's little helper!"
Tangtang said happily, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.
"Great! Uncle Fatty will get you something delicious later."
Wang Hai praised him with a smile.
"Thank you, Uncle Fatty!"
After a brief farewell to Teacher Liu, Lin Chen carried Tangtang in one arm, and the three of them quickly returned to the bread truck.
……
As usual, the car was first driven back to the building in the urban village.
This time, the two of them didn't waste any time.
Wang Hai went upstairs, took the bucket of broth down, and placed it in the tricycle.
Lin Chen quickly loaded the white rice and side dishes into the bread cart.
"Daddy, I've got my little stool ready!"
Tangtang hugged her little plastic basket and sat obediently in the passenger seat.
"Okay, let's go."
Lin Chen got on the tricycle.
The two cars, one after the other, drove away from the urban village and headed towards Yintai Plaza.
……
5 PM, outside Yintai Plaza.
Wang Hai drove his van and turned onto the auxiliary road outside the square.
He stepped on the brakes and parked the car in the usual spot by the flower bed.
Lin Chen's tricycle also stopped right behind him.
Wang Hai had just pushed open the car door and jumped out, preparing to get something from the trunk, when he looked up and froze on the spot.
"Wow! Brother Chen, look!"
Wang Hai pointed to the Yintai Plaza in front of him and shouted.
Lin Chen parked his tricycle and looked in the direction Wang Hai pointed.
The Yintai Plaza at this moment was completely different from when they left yesterday evening.
In the center of the once spacious and flat square, several large trucks are now parked.
A dozen workers wearing yellow hard hats are busy at work.
"Clang! Clang!"
The sounds of metal pipes colliding echoed throughout the room.
Workers are using sturdy scaffolding to build a huge main stage.
The stage frame has been erected high, and the backdrop is also taking shape.
On both sides of the main stage, extending all the way to the flowerbeds at the edge of the square, rows of neat tents sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
These sheds all have red and blue roofs, making them very eye-catching.
Each shed is equipped with uniform lighting tubes and power sockets.
Clearly, these are stalls specifically prepared for merchants participating in the food festival.
Although the scene was somewhat noisy, it was filled with the enthusiastic and grand atmosphere unique to large-scale events.
"Yintai Property Management really acted swiftly and decisively!"
Wang Hai walked over to Lin Chen and looked at the bustling construction site. "There was no sign of anything last night, and today the big stage and shop tents are already up!"
Lin Chen scanned the facilities in the square.
Judging from the size of the main stage and the density of the stalls on both sides, it's clear at a glance that the organizers have spared no expense on this summer food festival, and it's definitely not a small event.
"The official opening was on Friday night, and we started setting up today, Wednesday. The timing is perfect."
Lin Chen spoke up.
At this moment, Tangtang, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the bread truck, also unbuckled her seatbelt.
She clung to the car window, her eyes wide with curiosity, watching the workers walking back and forth and the tall iron frames outside.
"Daddy!"
Tangtang poked half her head out of the car window and asked in a clear voice, "What are those people wearing yellow hats doing?"
Are they building a giant set of blocks?
There are also many large red tents!
Lin Chen walked to the bread cart and reached out to pick up his daughter.
He held Tangtang in his arms, pointed to the red and blue stalls in the square, and explained gently, "They're not building blocks, they're setting up stalls to sell things."
"The day after tomorrow, there will be lots and lots of delicious food in this square, and lots of people will come to play."
"Wow"
Hearing that there were lots of delicious food and fun things to do, Tangtang's big eyes lit up instantly, filled with longing.
"So, does Daddy's fried rice also have to be sold inside that red house?"
Tangtang pointed to the tents and asked.
"Yes, Dad and Uncle Fatty will be there the day after tomorrow."
Lin Chen nodded slightly.
Wang Hai looked at the venue and spoke.
"Brother Chen, seeing this spectacle, I'm starting to get excited!"
"The big pots and thermos containers we bought this morning were definitely the right purchase!"
With the size of this stage, the crowd in this square will definitely explode on Friday night!
"When the time comes, the minced meat rice made from our fifty pounds of top-quality pork belly will definitely be a smash hit, making everyone swoon with its aroma!"
Lin Chen was excited in front of Wang Hai.
He put Tangtang on the ground, turned his gaze from the bustling stage construction site in the distance back to his tricycle.
"We'll talk about Friday's issues on Friday."
Lin Chen said, "Let's do the work in front of us first."
Set up the table, get ready to set up your stall.
"Alright! Let's get to work!"
Wang Hai immediately suppressed his excitement and turned to move folding tables and chairs.
