The rumor that Tianjin Mahua stole children has always been an online rumor, and it has not been reported by authoritative media. This rumor is also the biggest harm to an industry, because this kind of food sold along the street relies on selling one by one, and does not intend to be a repeat customer, so it is generally expensive to sell, usually ranging from 30 to 100 yuan a catty.
Moreover, this kind of thing is too heavy. If you cut it a little, it will weigh one or two kilos, and it will always cost one or two hundred dollars. Although it tastes good, ordinary people have a feeling of dying after buying it. It is really expensive, so the folks have the story of "one knife Ma Yun collapses, two knives strengthen the forest".
