Now, Qiao's Tea Restaurant not only employs three island residents to work in the restaurant, but during holidays, when the number of tourists visiting the island increases significantly, they will temporarily hire two more people to help.
The Qiao family is a kind-hearted couple, working in the restaurant is relatively easy, and they pay their employees high salaries, so they have a very good reputation in the neighborhood.
The tea restaurant used to offer morning tea, but after the renovation, Qiao Wanting forcibly canceled the business.
The family doesn't lack a lot of money. Making morning tea every day requires several hours of preparation in advance, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. With that kind of time, it's better to let the couple rest more.
Lamma Island is located in the subtropical zone, and the temperature is relatively high all year round. It is also very close to Xiangjiang River. There are multiple ferries every day, and it can be reached in half an hour.
Therefore, there is a characteristic of tourists coming to Lamma Island. The number of tourists who go to the island for a whole day or stay overnight on the island is less than half, and the majority of them are foreign tourists.
Other tourists, especially locals in Xiangjiang, like to come early and leave early, or come late and leave late, making a half-day trip. In short, they try to avoid the period of strong sunlight in the afternoon.
Sun Dahai and the others were no exception. After enjoying a sumptuous seafood dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to take a nap. There were other programs in the evening.
On Lamma Island at the end of October, although the afternoon sun can be very uncomfortable, the shade is very comfortable. Sun Dahai opened the window of the room and lay on the bed.
Recently, because he has to read the market day and night, he often can only find time to sleep, and his life is very irregular. This morning, everyone swam and played in the water together, which also consumed a lot of energy. The sea breeze blew by, and the waves were faintly heard.
Amidst the sound of the embankment being slapped, he soon fell asleep.
Sun Dahai was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt an itching sensation in his nose. He couldn't help but sneeze, and he immediately woke up for the most part.
"Hee hee" came a sweet laugh from the side.
With a backhand, Sun Dahai captured the culprit.
Cao Shanshan, who fell into his arms, had a happy smile on her soft little face. She also held a piece of hair in her hand, looking like she had succeeded in her prank.
"Shame, shame, brother Dahai, you sleep like a dead pig, you are snoring, and you don't even look at what time it is. You can sleep better than me."
The little princess Cao Shanshan is very crazy when she plays, but she also likes to sleep in. In Zheng Ziyun's words, she is "as quiet as a lazy pig and as active as a mad dog."
Today she went out to sea with her whole family. This was the first time in her life. So Cao Shanshan was very excited. She probably didn't even get a good nap.
It's quite interesting to say, maybe it's the hidden attribute of Sun Dahai's affinity with children. Although five-year-old Cao Shanshan has never met Sun Dahai a few times in total, she likes to be with him very much.
When she was little, she always pestered Sun Dahai, hoping to stay by Sun Dahai's side. After entering kindergarten, Cao Shanshan seemed to have grown up a lot.
She has learned that when adults are busy with something, children should not interfere. So she no longer pesters Sun Dahai, but cherishes every minute with him.
Don't look at the last time she came to Xiangjiang, she played with Sun Yuanyuan and Sun Dahe every day. But in Cao Shanshan's heart, she felt that she was taking care of his younger brothers and sisters for brother Dahai, and she felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Sun Dahai couldn't understand this little girl's mentality despite his two lifetimes of experience, so he just continued to live in confusion.
It is now past three-thirty in the afternoon, and the sun is much farther west. The sun is shining on people, and it is no longer so difficult.
There is a large courtyard not far from Qiao's house, which was originally a primary school. Later, as there were fewer and fewer school-age students on the island, several schools merged together, leaving this place vacant.
The primary school has only three classrooms and a few small houses, and it is now used by the government as a temporary warehouse. However, the yard here is large and there is a stage, so it has become a public place for the nearby islanders to hold weddings, weddings, banquets, and activities.
place.
The last time Sun Yuanyuan and the others came to Lamma Island, Qiao Wanting's father celebrated his birthday. Not only did Qiao Wanting set up dozens of tables of flowing banquets here, she also invited a theater troupe from Xiangjiang to come to the island to sing operas for the islanders for free, and she was very popular.
Big welcome.
This time Sun Dahai brought his family to play, and there will naturally be no shortage of this project. The sun is full of poisonous energy, and the stage has already begun to be set up.
Today we plan to start the performance at four o'clock sharp, a big drama with a few jokes, and the performance is expected to end at about six o'clock.
At seven o'clock in the evening, there will be movies played here. "An Autumn Fairy Tale" and "A Better Tomorrow" will be screened consecutively, and the excitement will not end until after ten o'clock.
Speaking of which, although Xiangjiang Cinema is very developed, there is really no mobile projection equipment suitable for showing movies in the countryside. The projection equipment and projectionists used today were temporarily borrowed from the Special Administrative Region through the relationship between Zheng Kee Printing Company.
Of course, this is also related to the geographical environment of Xiangjiang. In such a big place, even if you live in a remote place, if you want to watch a movie, it will not take long to get to a prosperous area with a movie theater by car or boat.
Therefore, no film company in Hong Kong has stock of the simple movie projector that was very common in mainland China in this era.
As for movies, Qiao Wanting will of course choose the company's own films. For this reason, it is not worth going to negotiate copyright issues with other film companies.
Since the male protagonists of these two movies are Fa Ge, and Fa Ge is a native of Lamma Island, Qiao Wanting specially approached Gao Yi and asked her to ask Fa Ge to shoot a video of a few minutes to express her feelings to Lamma Island.
Say hello to people.
Cantonese Opera is a local opera in Guangdong Province and is very popular in Guangdong Province and Xiangjiang. Although not many young people like Cantonese Opera nowadays, the elderly still have a soft spot for it.
Among the many old people in front of him, Chef Cao is an exception. He has no interest in Cantonese opera. If Cantonese opera were replaced by Peking opera or Kunqu opera, it would still be about the same. Who would make him an authentic capital person?
After everyone had some afternoon tea prepared by the Qiao family, they went to the primary school compound together. After helping them find seats and arranging tea and melon seeds, Sun Dahai and the others left.
Of course, Chef Cao also came out with him. After everyone discussed it, we decided to go fishing on the yacht.
Today’s dinner is a barbecue on the beach, which will not start until the movie is over. However, people in Hong Kong are used to delaying dinner until very late on their holidays, so no one thinks anything of it.
Now whoever is hungry should go and have some refreshments. Anyway, the Qiao family runs a tea restaurant, and a lot of various snacks and snacks have been prepared in advance.
The tea restaurant was closed to the public today, so after getting ready, the Qiao family announced the end of work and asked the employees to go home for the holidays. They closed the shop, brought snacks and drinks, and went to listen to the show with everyone.
