One of the city's most authentic styles of food, often hidden in humble roadside stalls.

Just like the classic formula in martial arts movies, the ultimate master does not need to pack up.

Setting up a stall online has become very popular. Some people say that you can earn 30,000 yuan a day and your annual income is 1 million yuan... Of course, you can find the answer after reading Lehelehe.

In fact, the bustling stalls may be a variety of food.

A qualified meal requires not only enjoying the deliciousness and splendor of star-rated restaurants, but also finding exclusive delicacies at ugly roadside stalls.

01 Street Food Two days ago, I read a news report about Shenzhen’s “most powerful stinky tofu stall”. In order to avoid the urban management, we notified customers of the stall’s location through the WeChat group every day.

Customers queue up in advance and often wait until late at night before the stall owner opens his stall. After a while, the stinky tofu is sold out.

Maybe this is a clever marketing tool.

However, it is undeniable that street snacks like stinky tofu are more attractive at roadside stalls. Once you visit the restaurant, the taste will change, or the price will double.

In fact, not only in mainland China, but also in many countries and regions in the world, there are always some delicious foods that lose their taste when they leave roadside stalls.

There are many more cuisines in hawker centers, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and in Bangkok, Thailand, where some roadside stalls have even won Michelin stars.

These roadside stalls create a rich variety of food, and each city has its own icon, representing the local people and local culture.

02Why are roadside stalls always so memorable?

Speaking of which, Chinese people are no strangers to roadside stall dishes and even have deep feelings for them.

Especially in the Tang Dynasty, night markets were still very common.

These are just preludes.

In the Song Dynasty, the scale of night markets and roadside stalls was unprecedented.

After Meng Yuanlao of the Southern Song Dynasty, after crossing south, he recalled the prosperity of Tokyo, that is, Kaifeng, and "Tokyo Menghualu", which described the night markets and food stalls in Bianliang, Tokyo.
