March 10/0, the reporter came to this "network celebrity" pancake stall and saw several customers queuing in front of the stall. Wang Jidong, the stall owner, neatly scooped up a spoonful of noodles, poured them in the middle of the pot, spread them out slowly, and asked the customers if they wanted onions and peppers.
Wang Jidong is 68 years old and his hometown is Yongqing. He has been cooking pancakes for 40 years. "I used to be a carpenter. In order to earn money to support his family, he came out and set up a pancake stall at the age of 28. I have been near Jianguo Road, and later I moved into Chang 'anli Hutong and rented a shop. "
Prepare materials at three o'clock in the morning and go out from home to the pancake stall at five o'clock every day. After mixing 15 kg flour and more than 30 kg eggs at one time, Wang Jidong temporarily stirred the batter when it was sold out. "It used to be sold around 1 1 in the morning, but now it's 12: 30. Once it was 1: 30 in the afternoon, and there were people waiting in line, then continue to stand. " Every afternoon after rest, he goes to the farm to pick and buy fresh eggs.
Since 2000, the price of pancakes with two eggs has never risen again. At that time, it was sold for 3 yuan each. The pancake stalls in Wang Jidong are cheap and good, and are recognized by the residents nearby. "My grandson and I love to eat pancakes on my eldest brother's stall. Around office workers, spread several sets at a time and give them to colleagues together. The pancakes with two eggs are only 3 yuan, and the fritters and crispy skin are both affordable and delicious. " Aunt Wang who is buying pancakes is a frequent visitor to the pancake stall. She cooked some pancakes for her family for lunch.
In the past few days, Wang Jidong Sanyuan Pancake Stall has been very popular on the Internet. In front of the booth, there are some new customers besides the old ones. On the day of the interview, netizen "Wen Jing" saw a small video on the short video platform and made a special trip from Yongqing. "There is a long line here. At that time, I couldn't believe that two eggs cost 3 yuan and I didn't pay until I asked. The total price of eggs has gone up, but pancakes have not. Two eggs were given to each set of pancakes, so that everyone can eat hot pancakes and eat the taste of integrity! "
During the year, except New Year's Day, both Wang and Dong had a day off, and there was no delay due to bad weather or personal reasons. Relatives who hold weddings or parties will stay out until 10 am and wait for breakfast before going to the appointment. There are nearly 300 sets of pancake stalls every day. Over the years, he has lost count of how many frying pans have been worn out.
Wang Jidong is often asked, "Why hasn't the price increased for so many years?" "Do you make money by doing business like this?" He will be able to shrug off and say with a smile: "When I first started selling pancakes, it was fifty cents a set. At that time, in order to support the family, the price gradually rose to 3 yuan. Then things got better and the child got married. I still love doing this, and I have to exercise when I go out to set up a stall. There is no pressure of life and no price increase. "
After decades of persistence, Wang and Dong have met many customers. When they come to spread pancakes, they always talk about their families. "A few years ago, a young man who used to eat pancakes returned to his hometown in Handan for the New Year. Before leaving, I specially laid several sets of pancakes, saying that I couldn't eat them for a month. After eating, he took them home to taste. When I come back to work in the New Year, I will spread pancakes. " Wang Tongdong said with a smile.
In more than half an hour's interview, there was a long queue in front of the pancake stall, and from time to time, netizens came to take pictures by video. When asked if he had seen the video of his pancake stall on his mobile phone, Wang Jidong said, "I don't have a mobile phone and I don't have time to watch it, but my family and friends have watched it. As long as everyone needs and loves to eat, they will continue to do it. " After that, he turned and scooped up a spoonful of noodles and spread them out neatly.
