At this shop, shredded beef is stir-fried over high heat in an oiled wok. Tomato and pickled mustard greens follow, then boiling water is poured in.
A shop on the food map
Owner Chen Caifen (陈彩芬) told Guangming Daily that trade had declined after her shop moved. The city’s food-development centre assessed the shop and included it, with more than a hundred other snack businesses, on a digital Lanxi food map. She reported that customers then began using the map to find her noodles, with daily sales rising from seventy or eighty bowls to as many as two or three hundred.
