Of course Zhang Qicheng has eaten crab roe noodles.
In fact, there is crab roe noodles in Li Chao’s hotel, and the regular price is only 188 yuan per bowl.
There is also a kind of crab roe noodles made with Dungeness crab roe, which costs 668 per bowl.
Although Zhang Qicheng eats crab roe noodles a lot on a daily basis, this thing is really something he never gets tired of, so it’s nice to try a different flavor occasionally.
Soon, Zhang Qicheng went to the store with Xiang Yang and ate a bowl of crab roe noodles recommended by Xiang Yang.
Smells good! Really very good!
Although it is not as good as the crab roe noodles made with Dungeness crab roe, it is also unique. The most important thing is that it is cheap, only 30 yuan a bowl.
Zhang Qicheng ate two bowls in one go, then drank all the soup in the second bowl before stopping.
"It tastes really good." Zhang Qicheng wiped his lips, "I didn't expect that I could eat crab roe noodles with such authentic flavor in a street snack shop like this."
The chef in the store is the owner himself, who is about 30 or 40 years old, a little fat, big in stature, with a big slicked-back hair. At first glance, he looks a bit like Chow Yun-fat.
After hearing what Zhang Qicheng said, the shop owner turned around and said with a smile: "If it tastes good, come often to eat here. Although my shop is not big, many owners of Land Rover often come here to eat here, and they all say it tastes good."
"With such good reputation and business, why don't you open a bigger store?" Xiang Yang asked.
The boss looked at Xiang Yang and asked, "You look familiar to me. Have you eaten here before?"
Xiang Yang nodded, "I've been here many times. The first time I came, you sold this noodle for 15 yuan a bowl."
“Oh, that was more than ten years ago.”
Xiang Yang smiled and nodded, "At that time, I had just graduated from elementary school and came here to take the entrance exam for junior high school."
When Xiang Yang was in junior high school, if he wanted to go to a certain junior high school, he had to go to that junior high school to take the exam.
At that time, Xiang's father was worried that Xiang Yang would not perform well in the exam and would not be admitted to the junior high school in Liancheng, so after taking the exam in Liancheng, he took Xiang Yang to Longcheng to apply for two junior high schools. When the results came out, Xiang Yang was admitted to all the junior high schools he applied for. In the end, he naturally chose a school closest to his home in Liancheng.
After hearing what Xiang Yang said, the boss's eyes flashed with envy.
According to what Xiang Yang said, it is obvious that Xiang Yang is not very old.
But he recognized the car Xiang Yang parked at the door, which was worth more than one million.
"I have also thought about opening a bigger store, but the business of this store has been hard to build up. If I move to another location rashly, I'm afraid I'll have to start all over again." The owner of the crab roe noodles said helplessly.
Xiang Yang wanted to invite the store owner to open a store in Qinglongwan, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the words back and said, "Yes, that's right. It's not easy to run a store. If you rashly change the location, it may be counterproductive."
Zhang Qicheng's eyes lit up, "Boss, can we add a contact number?"
Soon, the two finished their noodles, Xiang Yang chose a shopping mall to buy some things, and then started to return to Qinglongwan.
Back at Qinglongwan, Chen Qingsheng was busy cooking with a dozen crew members. Some villagers also came to help with the cooking, but it seemed that it would not be time for dinner for a while.
Xiang Yang suggested taking a walk along the beach.
Speaking of which, Xiang Yang hasn't taken a good look at Qinglong Bend after it was rebuilt.
Zhang Qicheng naturally agreed. As they walked, he said to Xiang Yang, "To be honest, I don't think it's useful to have a green belt on top of the beach. It's only pretty, but it's useless. It also makes the beach much smaller."
Xiang Yang asked casually: "Who ordered this to be built?"
"Of course it's Longcheng. In my opinion, it would be better to build a cobblestone path on the top of the beach. That way, the beach might look better." Zhang Qicheng said.
"These are actually small things. As long as there is enough funding, they can be changed at any time. Removing the greenery and building a cobblestone path should cost less than one million, right?" Xiang Yang said.
Zhang Qicheng nodded, "It's probably only a few hundred thousand at most, but the key is that this greenery is hard to remove. Village Chief Zuo and his men love it very much. If they want it to be demolished, you can go and talk to them."
Xiang Yang shook his head. "There is no need to demolish it for now. Some people like greenery, some people like paths. It depends on whether tourists like it or not. We will decide whether to demolish or keep the green belt based on tourists' reactions in the future."
"What I am really worried about now is actually the issue of tourists."
Zhang Qicheng frowned when he heard this, then nodded in agreement, "Yes, this is actually what I am worried about. Although the Qinglongwan tourist area seems to be on the right track and is thriving, in fact, it is less vibrant than it was half a year ago."
Half a year ago, when the entire Qinglongwan was under planning, many outside investors wanted to get a piece of the pie and seize the opportunity.
Half a year later, the Qinglongwan tourist area seemed to have been built and the local people had gained substantial benefits.
But in fact, in the investment circle, Qinglongwan has become a joke.
Why
Because the average number of tourists visiting Qinglongwan is less than three hundred per day.
Among these 300 people, more than half are ordinary workers from nearby factories. They come here purely to swim without spending a penny.
Among the remaining half, at least half are traveling on a budget, with average spending starting from a few hundred yuan, which basically covers transportation, food and accommodation.
There may be less than ten people who come here from far away because of its reputation in a day.
What tourist areas need most are tourists who come from afar to visit.
This matter is actually very easy to explain.
For example, there is a park in the urban area of a certain city.
Every evening, there are at least several hundred people going to the park for a walk.
But there was no one spending money in the park.
It is impossible for people from far away to come to this park.
The current Qinglongwan is a bit like a park like this. It is simply a place for people nearby to swim for free or have a picnic in the suburbs.
"Are Mr. Li's cruise ships open for business?" Xiang Yang asked Zhang Qicheng.
"It's open, but the daily net profit is a negative number, and the losses are quite large," Zhang Qicheng said helplessly.
Xiang Yang nodded, and finally understood why Li Chao stayed in Qinglongwan and did not leave.
Li Chao has invested a lot in Qinglongwan, but now he is not making any money. He must be racking his brains to find a way to develop the business here.
Xiang Yang asked: "What about those activities we did before? Were they useless?"
"You are talking about activities like burning pagodas and dragon lanterns, right?" Zhang Qicheng said, "Don't mention it. On the day of the event, many people did come. The beach was packed with people, but we counted them afterwards and found that almost all of them were locals from Huhai Town."
