The festival on the eighth day of the first lunar month is called the Smooth Star Festival.
It's the first festival after the New Year that falls on a day with the number eight.
In our folk beliefs, "eight" represents "prosperity" and is a symbol of great fortune, smooth sailing, and thriving business. Many businesses choose to open on this day, wishing for a prosperous new year.
The Delicious Restaurant owned by Huang Tao is no exception!
It also opens on this day!
Ding Suqin and the other employees arrived at the restaurant before four in the morning.
Once at the restaurant, she, along with Li Chengzhan and Lin Qiuyu, busily cleaned the place, while Ren Meilan and Yang Huiru were busy washing vegetables. Jiang Chao, Xu Hao, and Lin Zifeng started with cleaning various kitchen utensils and wiping down the stove.
The crew split into three groups, each attending to their tasks.
