In Nanyuan Street, Linping, Hangzhou, An Ran, a girl from Tianshui, Gansu, set up a stall selling spicy hotpot at the night market. Artist Jia Nailiang's visit made the already popular night market business even better.
However, in the past month, the sanitation, oil fume, traffic and other problems caused by the popularity of night markets have also attracted constant complaints from residents of surrounding communities.

Internet celebrity night market, can it continue to operate?
Last week, in line with the idea of relieving congestion and combining it with congestion, Linping Nanyuan Street decided to move the night market on Xincheng Road to Wuguo Street in the south.
Due to the limited number of planned stalls, stall owners drew lots and more than 150 of them obtained the right to operate the night market. On March 27, Wuguo Street Night Market opened.

How is the business of the new night market after the move? What is the feedback from surrounding residents?
With these questions in mind, Chao News reporters recently visited the site.
The stall owner has opened a new store for celebrity-checked Malatang.
Although it was raining that day, there were still about 20 customers queuing up with umbrellas in front of Gansu girl An Ran's two-pot Malatang.

An Ran told Chao News reporters that she had visited Xincheng Road Night Market in Laping before and found it very popular. In early March, after she resigned from Xiaoshan Company, she rented a house in Xucun, Haining, next door to Linping, spent 10,000 yuan to buy a food truck, and set up a stall at the night market to sell spicy hotpot.

When the stalls were first set up, Tianshui Malatang in Gansu Province was not yet popular. In the first two days, only a few portions of Malatang were sold at the Anran stall. . Later, as hometown Malatang became popular all over the Internet, the stall business took off.
"During that time, I opened my stall at 6 o'clock in the evening, and there were people queuing up before 5 o'clock in the afternoon. At the most, I could make 5,000-6,000 yuan in revenue in one night. There were also people who came from Shanghai and Ningbo to eat. However, the best time for business is before Jia Nailiang comes to check in. "
For An Ran, who started working after graduating from high school, she made her first pot of gold within a month of setting up a stall in Linping selling spicy hotpot. Last week, Enron spent 100,000 yuan to rent a shop at the subway entrance of Gouju Lane in Hangzhou, brought his parents from their hometown in Tianshui, Gansu, and opened a shop selling spicy hotpot together.

The night market in Linping Nanyuan is the starting point of An Ran’s fortune. She told the Chao News reporter: “As long as the night market still exists, I will continue to operate it, and the store in Hangzhou will be handed over to my parents. "Take care of it."
Because the environment of the stall is not as good as that of the store, and the waiting time is longer, An Ran will actively recommend customers who come to queue to eat at the restaurant owned by his parents.
Like An Ran, Sister Jiang, who sells barbecue, also lives in Xu Village, Haining next door. Since moving from Xincheng Road to Wuguo Street last Wednesday, the business at Sister Jiang’s stall is still as good as ever, with a daily revenue of around 3,000 yuan.

Unlike Xincheng Road, the surrounding areas of Wuguo Street are mainly industrial factories, such as the headquarters of the well-known Hangzhou-style women's clothing Evely. Nearby.
In the streets and alleys in this area, there are many street stalls operating at night. The customers of the stall owners are mainly migrant workers after the factory gets off work. Because it can satisfy everyone’s dining needs nearby, the newly opened Wu restaurant opened in a new location. Guo Street Night Market is not too popular.
The new location of the night market will continue to be optimized because it is adjacent to the middle school.
After strolling around the Wu Guo Street Night Market, the reporter found that most of the stalls here use barbecue and frying cooking methods to process food. Some barbecue stalls produce a lot of oil smoke. Choking.

Across Linqiao Road from the Wuguo Street Night Market is the Nanhui Campus of Linping No. 1 Middle School.
At around 8 pm on April 1, when reporters rushed to the scene, Wuguo Street was full of private cars picking up children from school. 8:30 was exactly the time when middle school students finished their evening self-study.
The smell of oil fumes wafted from the night market next door to the entrance of the middle school. Parents at the scene gathered in small groups and still had objections to the night market's heavy oil fumes and dirty environment.

Ms. Wu’s family has two children studying here, her daughter is in the second grade of junior high school. The classroom is facing the first row of teaching buildings on Wu Guo Street. "My two children come home from school every day, and there is always a smell of oil fume on their clothes. My daughter is especially sensitive to the smell of oil fume. She said that smelling the oil fume gives her a headache when studying at night," Ms. Wu told reporters.
Ms. Zhang’s son is in the first grade of junior high school. She occasionally takes her son to eat at roadside stalls, but the smell of the late-night snack stalls is so fragrant when her son studies at night, and he always thinks about going there to eat after school, which is not as good as studying. Concentrate before.
Ms. Zhang feels that children's self-control ability is still relatively poor. The night market opening next to the school may affect students' learning, and it is not healthy for children to go for late-night snacks as soon as school is over.

In addition, the night market uses the open space to the east of the school, which is originally a parking spot for parents to pick up and drop off their children. The emergence of the night market also intensifies the parking on this section of the road during peak hours of commuting to and from school. Difficult question.
Regarding the impact of the night market on the school, last night, Chao News reporters also randomly interviewed several stall owners. Everyone said that if it affects students' learning, we can move to the open space to the east and further away from the school. places to set up stalls.

In response to the questions raised by parents of students, Chao News reporters also contacted the Linping District Education Bureau and Linping No. 1 Middle School Nanhui Campus. The school responded that it had contacted Nanyuan Street and reached a consensus.
Later, the reporter learned from Nanyuan Street that the street had made a commitment to the school and would promptly complete the further optimization of the night market in the near future to minimize the impact on students. The current consideration is that it can also continue to move some distance eastward. It is located further away from the Nanhui campus of Linping No. 1 Middle School. (Qianjiang Evening News)
