The Meat Processing Factory in Tanghe County has now undergone a complete transformation. The tall walls on both sides of the main gate, originally built for ostentation, have been torn down and replaced with a row of storefronts. Now, aside from one hall that the factory uses itself, all the others have been rented out.
When older residents in the area talk about it, they can't help but marvel at how fast society has advanced—it's almost dizzying. In the past, this place was just a few rural folks coming around to sell vegetables, scattering some produce like radishes and cabbages on tarpaulin sacks on the ground. If someone had a stall, it'd be for selling tofu or bean sprouts. But once the storefronts at the Meat Processing Factory were rented out, the area suddenly became bustling, with vendors competing for prime spots to set up shop.
