內容簡介
老周是個夜貓子，身為超市老闆卻常常睡到日落時分才開門做生意，讓附近居民十分不滿。
老周非常苦惱，四處求助，仍然找不到能讓他不再睡過頭的解方。然而，電影院老闆小穎的一句話讓老周恍然大悟：為什麼非要早起呢？何不來點新意？
於是老周清空冰箱、拆掉層架，在傍晚時分搭起棚子和一個一個小攤子，老周夜市正式開張！
𝙈𝙧. 𝘾𝙝𝙤𝙬’𝙨 𝙉𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙩 以一個老先生的煩惱切入台灣夜市文化，帶領讀者一起認識台灣夜市與眾不同的氛圍、飲食文化，和台灣人獨有的人情味！
Perfect for fans of Spirited Away, this humorous picture book tells the fantastical tale of one grumpy old man and the creation of Taiwan's first night market.
Mr. Chow lives for the night, when the moon is a wok full of simmering oil.
Too bad he owns a supermarket and has to wake up very, very early. Mr. Chow hates mornings and so does his store: The shopping carts are sluggish, the front door yawns, and the pomelos roll down the aisle in a sleepy daze.
When disaster strikes, Mr. Chow seeks advice from other workers and the similarly buoyant, anthropomorphic buildings they work in. And soon, he discovers that his store doesn't have to be a morning market...it can be a night market!
Accompanied by spellbinding art from Yu Ting Cheng, debut author Emily Sun Li crafts a whimsical myth about how the very first Taiwanese night market was created.
