Start by trimming cow hooves

The factory produces small batches here.

The coconuts accumulated previously have been processed and the equipment has been temporarily sealed. After cleaning the machine, it was covered with plastic film to avoid being contaminated with too much dust.

After Suri greeted the employees, he moved a box of coconut water and put it into the trunk of the car.

After being processed and sealed, the raw coconut water on the island has a shelf life of up to one year. It just so happens that there is no water in the trunk of the car, so it is suitable for cooling off and quenching thirst when you are away from home.

After drinking the water in the bottle, Su Rui smacked his lips and said to Secretary Amanda:

"The taste is very refreshing and suitable for making coconut chicken soup. If you use it instead of iced black tea, you may be able to make a new cocktail."

Secretary Amanda teased him:

"Congratulations, you are now a qualified drinker, and you actually thought of using it to make cocktails first. When I have time, I will ask a bartender for help to see how it tastes after mixing it with various wines. , coconut water is just sweet and may not be able to cover up the spiciness of spirits.”

Suri smiled and replied:

"On the Southwest Plateau of China, people live fulfilling, happy and beautiful lives. Part of the reason is that the air is thin and their heads are in a state of hypoxia for a long time, forgetting many worries. Who can maintain 100% passion all the time? Have a drink It’s also good to relax your mind.”

Secretary Amanda, who also likes to drink, deeply believed in Suri’s words and told:

"During the holidays, I occasionally watch football games by myself and drink two bottles of red wine without noticing. If you don't think about the headache after a hangover, it is really relaxing."

Suri returned to the car and said sideways:

"I was just having a drink. People like you who drink to death are called drunkards. We are obviously not the same type of people."

"..."

The weather is sunny with white clouds.

The grass and trees on the roadside, moistened by the rain in the past few days, looked lush and green, which looked particularly eye-catching.

Suri drove to the open-air market.

A glance through the fence revealed that there were about thirty or forty stalls. In addition to tourists, residents of Lanai Town also came to join in the fun.

When he appeared, many people greeted him warmly.

You can see some people selling cupcakes, and some people making fresh burgers. The price is written on the label, and they all cost eight dollars.

Food prices in the United States are indeed not high, but labor costs are extremely high.

Even from a food truck on the streets of Los Angeles, a burger usually costs about five dollars.

Small vendors like this located in scenic spots are limited by the inability to make small profits but quick turnover, so they can only set prices slightly higher. Otherwise, no one will be willing to set up a stall to make a lonely living.

Suri bought a burger and chocolate cupcakes.

He lost more than 20 pounds in the past two years. Recently, he is gaining weight and building muscles, and he just needs to eat more.

Instead of waiting for the burger to be ready, go shopping elsewhere first.

There were Chinese people selling charcoal-grilled giant squid and curry fish eggs. Suri also bought one of each, planning to share it with secretary Amanda. If not, she could take it home and give it to Daju as a snack.

In addition to various snacks, there are also native Hawaiian girls setting up stalls selling flower chains, wood carvings and other handicrafts, as well as honey, macadamia nuts and coffee beans from Kona Island.

It doesn’t cost much anyway.

Help support the open-air market business and buy something you like.

After a brief walk around, his bodyguard had a floral shirt, a wooden carving of a monk seal, coffee beans, etc., while Suri had grilled eel skewers and grilled prawns.

In fact, I have bought a lot, enough to completely fill my stomach.

However, the stall owners were enthusiastic and he, the island owner, could not pretend not to see them, so in addition to buying snacks for the bodyguards, he also brought some food to his assistant Jiang Jiaya.

The girl was on Lanai Ridge, responsible for counting the wages for November for the workers who were renovating the new villa on the top of the mountain.

Because the helipad next to the golf course is too close to the Four Seasons Hotel and easily affects tourists' rest, she still needs to communicate with the designer to select a suitable location in Lanai Ridge to build a new helipad.

It may be said that the relationship between employee and boss is more like a friend with Jiang Jiaya.

I didn't take her with me when I went to the market. If I don't bring something to eat back, I will inevitably be resented...

"There are too few stalls, so I just walked around and browsed them all. To be honest, I felt a bit bored."

Suri asked secretary Amanda to drive, while he was busy eating burgers, and continued to add:

"But there is nothing we can do about it. Even if we include the residents of Lanai Town, the island's population is still too small to support a large market. Moreover, it is the peak tourist season. During the off-season, we will only receive a few dozen or so people every day. With hundreds of tourists, business at the market will get even worse.”

Secretary Amanda suggested:

"During the off-season, you can open a market every weekend or once a month like many small towns in the mainland. The stall owners can only make a little pocket money through it, and it is difficult to regard it as a real profession. For Lanai residents, Given our low consumption level, the profits earned during the peak season may be enough to sustain our expenses throughout the year.”

There are between two and three thousand people living in the town of Lanai.

Some families grow their own vegetables, catch their own fish, and raise some livestock. If they maintain a low-desire lifestyle, their expenses are indeed not high.

Before Suri's donation, there wasn't even a movie theater in the town, and even now there aren't any large shopping malls. Even if you want to spend money, you have nowhere to spend it.

Thinking of this, Su Rui stopped worrying and just said:

"When I have time, I will send someone to discuss with the mayor and say that if the stall owners are willing to clean up and be responsible for maintaining the facilities of the open-air market, then I will cancel the cost of renting the stalls and hand it over to them to manage it themselves."

Secretary Amanda asked: "The kind that doesn't care at all?"

"Well, the initial investment cost is very small. There is no need to discourage the merchants just for this income. If the open-air market can grow and bring many tourists to Lanai, this is what is really important."

"That's right. Even though there aren't many merchants, there are a lot of trivial matters. It's better to leave it to the town to manage it, so as not to cause conflicts with us."

Taking into account the need for additional manpower to manage open-air markets and clean up.

With too few customers, Suri would most likely make money at a loss, let alone make money from the open-air market.

His original intention was nothing more than to add an attraction to make it interesting for tourists.

As long as the market remains on the island, voluntarily giving up the management rights of the open-air market will not have any impact on Suri, but it will be more worry-free.

Since there is no stall fee and no involvement in management, if problems such as food safety arise, Suri has nothing to do with it.

now.

Seeing that he was enjoying the meal, Secretary Amanda swallowed her saliva and asked, "How do the burgers in this store taste?"

"I have to say, it's beyond my expectation. I originally thought it was meat stuffing pressed into a cake, but I didn't expect it to be a whole piece of beef. It must have been marinated and beaten, and the texture is very soft and tender. Do you want to try it?"

Hearing Suri's words, Secretary Amanda shook her head and said:

"Forget it, I'm controlling my diet. I've reached the age where I need to take strict care, and I'm aging faster. In the past, when I was sitting in a bar, young people would always take the initiative to chat with me, but now I have become a middle-aged man. Compared with the food, I am more beautiful. more important……"
