"If I couldn』t find a way to make money, I would』ve had to close my kindergarten, like the seven others nearby that have shut recently," Hei said.
「如果找不到賺錢的辦法，我就只能和附近其他7家最近關停的幼兒園一樣，把幼兒園關了。」黑園長說。
So when the lockdown measures were eased several weeks ago – meaning people could go out to eat again, but parents were reluctant to let their children go back to school – Hei decided to shift her business from baby care to barbecue.
因此，幾周前放寬了封鎖措施（意味著人們可以再次外出吃飯，但父母不願讓孩子重返學校）時，黑園長決定將其業務從幼兒看護轉向燒烤服務。
"We have outdoor space, we have a catering service licence, our staff have health certificates, and we have abundant tables and chairs, so I thought that turning the kindergarten into a barbecue place was a fine way to make some money," she said.
「我們有戶外場地，有餐飲服務許可證，員工有健康證，有充足的桌椅，所以我覺得把幼兒園改成燒烤店是個不錯的賺錢方式。」她說。
Despite not advertising the new venture to the parents of her pupils – Hei said she did not want them to feel under undue pressure to visit – the business rapidly took off.
黑園長說，儘管她沒有向學生家長宣傳這個新的經營項目，她不想讓學生家長感到壓力過大，但生意很快就做起來了。
