The mother of two is sharing, she loves to cook. The person who brings inspiration to the kitchen after a tiring day of work is her son. She confided, “She’s 15 years old, picky eater and very thin, so I have to regularly look up recipes online… to make him eat better.” Maybe that’s why gradually, her passion for cooking is getting bigger and bigger. It is not simply a responsibility to children, but also shows a woman’s love for her family. Kim Thoa is very passionate about cooking Currently, each meal she will cook for her family of 6, including her husband’s parents, her husband and her two sons. Every time I go to the kitchen, I will spend 1 – 1 and a half hours to cook, depending on what’s on the menu today. The cost is also carefully calculated by the mother to be appropriate and to avoid excess food, the number ranges from 150,000 to 200,000 VND/meal. Every meal I will cook for my family of 6 However, she is not too heavy on how much money is required for each meal, but for a good mother, a meal must always be nutritious and of good quality. The children are at a developing age, the elderly parents-in-law need to nourish their bodies, and the husband and wife also need health to work. Therefore, the nutrition of the meal is always her top priority. In particular, when going to the market, she always chooses fresh food. In this way, the meal will not only taste better, but also be safe and quality. The cost of her family’s daily meal ranges from 150,000 to 200,000 VND/meal. With a family of 3 generations and as large as hers, so that everyone can feel good when enjoying, Ms. Kim Thoa often arranges to cook 4 dishes in a meal. These dishes are usually soups, vegetables, stir-fries and savory dishes. She also has to regularly change the menu and the way it is prepared so that the dish is not duplicated, avoiding a feeling of boredom for everyone. “For example, today, if you eat braised pork, tomorrow you will make deep-fried fish… Especially, your own dishes will never be cooked in a week.” she says. With a daily meal, she usually cooks 4 dishes and rarely repeats the main dish in a week She also especially loves to spend weekends in the kitchen. Because this is when she has more time to change dishes, spend more time on meals. At that time, she will cook dishes such as chicken noodle soup, bun cha… for the whole family to “change the wind”. Sometimes, she also cooks hot pot, makes other dishes at the request of her children. On birthdays of family members, she dresses up to show off her talents and makes many attractive dishes. The mother confided that she especially loved the feeling of being meticulously decorated for everyone. Particularly on weekends, I will spend more time in the kitchen Perhaps, thanks to her hard work, diligence, ingenuity, sophistication and attractive cooking, everyone likes the dishes she cooks. Her father-in-law always compliments “Today’s rice is delicious” while the children say “super mom”. She admits that the dishes she cooks are really simple and not picky in terms of spices, but through everyone’s judgment, you will understand how confident she is. On weekends or on special occasions, I will meticulously decorate and cook many attractive dishes For her, family meals are very important and meaningful. “The whole family only eats together for a dinner and a weekend, so those hours are the time for the whole family to gather, talk and bond with each other. I am currently the chief accountant of a company, the I’m also quite busy, but I always take time to go to the kitchen because I feel very happy when every dish I cook, my children eat it all and compliment it.” Ms. Kim Thoa happily said. Everyone must praise Kim Thoa’s cooking skills

Where there is promotion and discount policy, the number of tourists, where there is no one, is a reality in this tourist land. At Hon Gai international passenger ship port, the cruise ship fleet was anchored dormant, with no sign of returning to operation. The port is considered to be large and qualified, but the number of statues of ships is anchored tightly because there are no passengers. To reduce costs, many boat owners share money to hire a custodian. Better yet, Tuan Chau international cruise ship port today welcomed nearly 100 tourists, mainly Hanoi and neighboring provinces. Here, from 9am to the beginning of the afternoon, a number of families and groups of tourists come to the port and buy tickets to arrange a graft boat trip. Only a few cruise ships depart for tourists to visit lines 1 and 2. According to the management board of Ha Long Bay, since March 6 when Quang Ninh’s tourist attractions are active again, the peak day also only about 500 guests, on weekdays it is about 100 guests. Revenue from the sale of travel tickets to Ha Long Bay since the beginning of the year has not reached 3 billion VND. Due to the small number of passengers, most boat owners choose to leave the boat at the pier because it is very costly to operate a ship. On the other hand, the number of service staff on board had previously resigned and changed jobs, so it was difficult to call back to work. Human resources serving on board are currently also a difficult problem for Quang Ninh tourism. Also in Sun Park, although in the time of preferential prices, but on the weekends, visitors are just accompanying their families here to have fun. Some shops in the old town area are also scrambling to clean up for resale. “My restaurant has just reopened for a few days, even a large restaurant like this but only has 4 staff working to reduce costs, from morning until now my restaurant has only 1 guest table”, Ms. Nguyen Thi Duong (owner of Hai Duong restaurant, Vuon Dao street) said boredly. According to the director of the Department of Tourism of Quang Ninh Pham Ngoc Thuy, since the outbreak of Covid-19 has resurfaced, most tourists have a psychology of fear so they are still not assured to travel. With this mentality, instead of choosing Quang Ninh, tourists change direction. “Travel companies need to have combo packages, reduce prices to the level where people can spend the cost to visit, also from here, must rebuild demand stimulus programs, step by step influencing psychology for everyone to visit. people know that Quang Ninh is now a safe destination, “said Thuy. Some pictures at tourist spots in Ha Long city “. Hon Gai international passenger ship port is no longer bustling The waiting area in the station was sprawled with a few people The cruise ship is anchored in the wharf area No more crowded tourists on board Most boat owners choose to moor because operating a ship takes a lot of money Many ship owners share money to hire 1 ship keeper Tuan Chau international cruise ship port terminal has a similar fate Visitors take the grafted train to have enough seats on 1 train Strabismus visitors to the Sun Park on weekends People are still getting their temperature before entering the play area People clean up the shop to prepare to welcome guests The restaurant staff at Vuon Dao Street played all day because there were no customers
