10 March10, 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 into 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 spreading pancakes for 40 years. "I used to be a carpenter. In order to earn money to support his family, he came out to support 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 half past ten in the afternoon, and there were people waiting in line, then continue to stand. " After having a rest every afternoon, he must go to the farm to pick and buy fresh eggs.
Since 2000, the price of pancakes with two eggs has never risen. At that time, they were sold at the price of 3 yuan. The pancake stalls in Wang Jidong are cheap and good, and are recognized by the residents nearby. "My grandchildren and I like to eat pancakes on the big clothes stall. Around office workers, put a few sets at a time and give them to colleagues to eat together. As long as the pancakes with 2 eggs are 3 yuan, 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. Besides the old customers, there are some new customers in front of the booth. 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 money, and I didn't pay until I asked. The total price of eggs has gone up, but pancakes have not. Each set of pancakes is presented with 2 eggs, 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 affairs. When a relative holds a wedding or party, he will stay out until 10 am, and then go to the appointment after breakfast. There are nearly 300 sets of pancake stalls every day. Over the years, he has lost count of how many pancake pans have been worn out.
People often ask Wang Jidong, "Why didn't you raise prices for so many years?" "Do you make money by doing business like this?" He would shrug off and say with a smile, "When I first started selling pancakes, it was 50 cents a set. At that time, in order to support the family, the price gradually rose to 3 yuan. Later, things got better and the children got married. I still love doing this. 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 went back to his hometown for the New Year. Before leaving, I deliberately laid several sets of pancakes, saying that I could not finish them in 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.
During the interview for more than half an hour, there was a long queue in front of the pancake stall, and some netizens came to take photos through video from time to time. When asked if he had seen the video of him spreading pancakes 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 seen it. As long as everyone needs it and likes to eat it, they will continue to do it. " After that, he turned and scooped up a spoonful of noodles and spread them out neatly.
