Summer night, there are crowds of diners coming and going.
In front of the stall where diners lingered, merchants were busy in the hot summer.
This busyness and excitement will continue until deeper in the night, even until dawn.
The fireworks in the eyes of others are the place where survival and dreams come true.
This is the best summer in this night snack street business in the past three years of the epidemic.
This is also the first and hottest summer in Hangzhou in recent years.

When most people are resting and sleeping, they are still busy, struggling and persevering in the middle of the night for life and dreams.
Laughing or crying, hesitation and entanglement, depression or shining... are the daily life of life and also constitute the "late night Hangzhou story" unique to this summer.
Night patrol police, emergency room doctors, late-night live broadcast room anchors, taxi drivers waiting for business in the middle of the night, and small shop owners who are about to set up stalls at dawn...
They are the protagonists of the "Late Night Hangzhou Story" and are also ordinary people like you and me. They sweat this summer without exception, sometimes to achieve a small goal, and sometimes it is just an effort that they have become accustomed to in daily life.
Qianjiang Evening News’ first hourly news article “Late Night Hangzhou Story”, approaching Binjiang Laxi Street.
On the evening of July 24, after the afternoon thunderstorm, the sunset appeared in Hangzhou again.
It is less than 7 o'clock in the evening, and the heat has not subsided yet, and Yangjiadun Street, Binjiang District has become lively.
The roadside electric vehicles are almost full, and young people are constantly rushing to come. There was a queue in front of food stalls such as
grilled skewers, Quzhou duck head , milk tea, 60s, crayfish and other places. The table was filled with diners, and many tables were filled with beer. Three or five friends gathered together to raise their glasses and drink. In the newly opened milk tea shop, the clerk is attracting customers at the door.
That night, I followed Chen Guanzhong and Wang Yiqiang, police officers from Binjiang Public Security Bureau of Hangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, to patrol Xi Street at night. Many stores on
Laxi Street are open until the early morning, and some stores are open all night.
What happens on this street late at night?

The backs of the two policemen are swept through the screen under the sunset
Policeman Wang Yiqiang is from the Political Department of Binjiang Public Security Bureau. Chen Guanzhong is the instructor of the grassroots basic brigade. Their shift must be on duty from 7 pm to 10 pm.
Both of them are familiar with Laxi Street.
"Laxi Street has some history, and people are more accustomed to calling garbage street . It was not like this at the beginning. In the early days, there were farmers' houses here, and they were all small stalls for midnight snacks. After the midnight snack stalls were open, the ground was full of garbage, so they had such a name. Now Laxi Street has become a scale, and there are many schools around. Although students are on summer vacation, there are still many people coming to have midnight snacks." Chen Guanzhong said his impression of this street.
When Wang Yiqiang was in high school, she went to Laxi Street. "At that time, they were all inconspicuous stalls, but the things they made were delicious, such as egg rice and roasted pig trotter , and the taste was amazing."
With the implementation of the "100-day Action" for the crackdown on public security in summer, Binjiang Public Security Bureau has carried out night patrols at night snack concentration points and bars in the jurisdiction such as Laxi Street. "In this 100-day operation, Binjiang Public Security Police took office to ensure that police officers were present in places with dense crowds, such as snack streets, night snack stalls, complexes, etc., and if an emergency occurs, they can be dealt with as soon as possible."
wore a reflective vest and nearly 10 kilograms of police equipment hung on his waist. The two police officers took office on time at 7 o'clock, and their backs under the sunset were really cool.
Walking through the garbage street, two policemen checked the situation of the stalls and diners.
"So many delicious foods, everyone eats them, we watch them." The police joked.
Although it rained in the afternoon, after walking on Laxi Street, everyone's heads were covered in sweat.
Chen Guanzhong is already calculated: "The temperature was 40℃ during the day, and he was on duty at night. He was wearing a reflective vest and a police cap. The police uniform was wet and dry and wet."
] The girl knocked down and a lost child
A small accident occurred on the street at night.
at 8 o'clock in the evening, and a small burst came one after another.
First, at the intersection dozens of meters away from the guard post, a girl was riding an electric bike and scratching the motor vehicle. The word "Zhe" on the license plate directly poked the girl's legs.
The police rushed over and dealt with it quickly, and the girl went to the hospital for examination.
has just been processed, and there is a situation again.
"Comrade Police, a child is lost!" A lady led a boy to the booth, "I saw the child crying and running, so I stopped him and sent him to the booth."
The little boy looked very nervous.
The police squatted down and asked the child about it. The boy's eyes were round and he couldn't say any useful information.
The police comforted the child and said, "Don't worry, we are police uncles, we will definitely find your parents."
The little guy was a little excited and wanted to run out again. The police quickly coaxed him to make the child's emotions slightly stable.
After a while, the boy's father rushed over.
"But I found you!" Ms. Envious Ms. Seeing the parents coming, she left silently, without leaving her name.
"We were shopping in there and waiting for the checkout. He ran out by himself. I searched and searched, but couldn't find it. I was so anxious. Seeing that people around the guard booth came over and took a look. I saw that this was my son." Dad was quite anxious.
The boy's mother also led her younger brother to come, "The one who got lost is our eldest son, 4 years old this year. He just went to kindergarten. The couple brought their two children to play together. They ran away in a blink of an eye. Thanks to meeting kind-hearted people and police officers."
Police reminded parents that they must pay attention to taking their children out. Before leaving, the little boy happily brigades with the police.
] The small stall's daily turnover is 20,000
The history of the struggle of two aunts at night street
The deeper the night, the more lively Laxi Street is.
The "Xiaoqiang Roast Pig Troe" stall that has been open for ten years is very lively in front of it, and people come to order it from time to time.
The boss lady, Sister Qin, with a fashionable headband, was busy with her spatula in front of the oven.
"This street is famous and has many restaurants. As long as you are willing to endure hardships, you will have a chance. I came here ten years ago. The roasted pig trotters were made later, and now they are the signature of our store."
Sister Qin said that the store is open from 10 a.m. to the early morning, and she can't sleep for a long time a day.
It is very hot to stay in front of the stove in summer, but you can also gain something when you pay. This summer, business has improved a lot, and your daily turnover can be about 20,000 yuan.
"Sand Time Record" has also been here for 10 years. The signature of this restaurant is egg bread rice.
Sister Lin, who opened a store, is called "Auntie Egg Bread" by the old customers. Sister Lin is born in the 1970s and is from Wenzhou . "This store was first opened by my son. At that time, my son graduated from high school and wanted to open a restaurant. The family supported her. But he knew that it was only two weeks since he opened, so he was going to study abroad, so I was in charge of this store."

Looking back on the past ten years in Laxi Street, Sister Lin's summary for herself was to gain a different life. Before opening the store
, Sister Lin was a full-time mother. "I have been taking care of my son since I was a child. I paid great attention to eating. I tried to choose good ingredients and give my son a healthy meal. At that time, I thought that it would be great if I could make it for others to eat one day. The opening of the 'Sa Shi Ji' in 2012 was really hard at the beginning."
Sister Lin said that the store was first in the alley, with only 12 square meters and 8 seats. I wake up at 6 o'clock in the morning until 2 o'clock in the morning, and I slept for 4 hours a day.
"I have to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables at five or six o'clock. I am an unpopular customer there because I am very picking. I choose the freshest meat and shrimps." After buying vegetables, I have to prepare the dishes. "Some meat and sauces need to be stewed for 2 hours so that they will taste. I will be almost 10 o'clock when I work hard all day long."
is like fighting, and I think about the menu little by little, and sometimes my son will provide remote guidance abroad.
Laixi Street ten years ago was very popular.
"People come to queue up every day in my store, and many of them are nearby students. The store sign is egg bread rice. In the evening, customers will drive from the north of the city and come in and say to me: Auntie, we drive so far, let's make a few more copies for us."
Auntie Lin provided
Sister Lin has her own way to stay in the store.
She has a skill, and she can remember it whenever a student comes to eat for the first time. "I will remember how much food he can eat for the first time. When I come the second time, I will know how much food he should add to make sure he can eat well."
has been open for 10 years, and the store has changed its location twice.
once in the middle, many old customers can't find it, and their business has also been affected.
"In May 2016, I moved to my current position. I have worked hard since the epidemic. Fortunately, the old customers have not stopped. Many students come to find the 'egg bread rice aunt'." Sister Lin told reporters that after ten years of opening a store, she has become friends with many students. The shop has also become a place for everyone to rely on for their emotions.
"If there are children, they will tell me: Auntie, I'm broken up. Some children will also share: Auntie, I have a new boyfriend. Many students from those days started their families and started their own businesses. They worked and lived in Hangzhou and would bring their children with them. When there are many children, they feel like the store is like a kindergarten."
These are the satisfaction that cannot be brought by making money in opening a store.
The eldest sister said that her son is abroad and the epidemic is not very good. The old customers in the store gave her a different feeling, "It seems like there are a lot of children all of a sudden."
At 10 pm, police officer Ma Zhanbo and auxiliary police came to Jian to switch shifts with Wang Yiqiang and Chen Guanzhong.
Laxi Street's protection in the middle of the night will be carried out by them.
At 2 a.m. on July 25, the crowds on Laxi Street gradually faded. Some stalls were having fun chatting, some were ready to close, and some would continue to open until the morning.
Two or three hours later, we will usher in a new day, with morning glows, scorching suns, strong winds and thunderstorms. The only thing that remains unchanged is that this summer’s struggle will not stop.
