China Hotpot Restaurant Owner Wants Peace

For two weeks, Mo's Chicken Hotpot has been very busy. The owner, Lao Mo, gets only three hours of sleep a day.

The restaurant will be closed for three days during the Labor Day holiday and every Monday.

The crowds have made Lao Mo's family very tired. The restaurant gets 100 lunch bookings before 9 am every day.

There are crowds outside Mo's Chicken Hotpot in Foshan, Guangdong, China.

Lao Mo wants to retire and live a happy life. He likes quieter days when he serves only 10 tables.

Lao Mo said everyone gets to rest on Labor Day, so he should too.

Lao Mo does not care about fame or money, only his health. He cannot turn away customers who travel far.

The restaurant is crowded even on weekdays. The parking area is full by 10:30 am.

The narrow lanes to the restaurant have street vendors, bloggers, and livestreamers.

The restaurant now limits customers to 200 per day, using a numbered ticket system.

Lao Mo's family, neighbors, and students help with the rush.

The hotpot features locally raised chicken and wild medicinal herbs.

A chicken hotpot costs 258 yuan, and herbal soup costs 38 yuan.

Lao Mo says his dish is not special, just chicken and vegetables.

Lao Mo has brought changes to the area, including a new parking lot and roads.

Nearby businesses are benefiting from Lao Mo's popularity.

Lao Mo's restaurant became famous after a food blogger posted a video.

Lao Mo tried to discourage visitors by saying his food is not good, but more people came.
