“如果找不到赚钱的办法，我就只能和附近其他7家最近关停的幼儿园一样，把幼儿园关了。”黑园长说。
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，几周前放宽了封锁措施（意味着人们可以再次外出吃饭，但父母不愿让孩子重返学校）时，黑园长决定将其业务从幼儿看护转向烧烤服务。
"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.
“我们有户外场地，有餐饮服务许可证，员工有健康证，有充足的桌椅，所以我觉得把幼儿园改成烧烤店是个不错的赚钱方式。”她说。
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.
黑园长说，尽管她没有向学生家长宣传这个新的经营项目，她不想让学生家长感到压力过大，但生意很快就做起来了。
