As they had to prepare for winter, most people in the village went out. They either went to the grain shops in the city or to the livestock market to buy meat. Fewer people came to the docks to buy foreign goods.
It was also just nice that no one noticed Mother Rong.
Furthermore, with the crowds, the huge dock was filled with people. Mother Rong's stall was popular and the food sold was fragrant. They even had a good reputation, thus attracting people to buy from them.
However, it was too mobile at the docks. Most of the people who heard the news were tourists transiting at Yuan River. They left after buying some food. As for the locals, they gathered mostly at the markets located a little outside the docks, which were quite far away from Mother Rong and the rest.
After the crowd was separated, even if Mother Rong and the rest were popular in that small circle, news of them could not be spread outside.
