Because the live stream was still ongoing, Xiangzi controlled his temper and did not directly confront Changhai.
"Grandpa, where's the spoon? I saw a video online where they broke open sweet potatoes and gave me a spoon when I came to sell them to you. Even if you don't have a spoon, you could at least break them open for me."
"Get lost! What do you, a local, need a spoon for?" Changhai glanced at Xiangzi with disdain and said irritably, "Do I look like a spoon to you?"
"Why would I break it open for you? Why bother? I'll just eat it for you!"
Upon hearing Changhai's words, Xiangzi froze on the spot.
Good news: the sweet potato vendor didn't ruin Harbin's image.
The bad news is that Xiangzi's attempt to pretend to be a little potato failed, and he was even severely criticized.
At the same time, the viewers in the live stream realized what was happening and immediately burst into laughter.
Correspondingly, the live stream chat was also scrolling wildly, freely expressing the viewers' emotions.
"The words 'nine yuan fifty' are colder than the weather in Harbin today, and even seem to imply a reluctance to sell to Xiangzi."
"Grandpa, you're really joking! I've seen plenty of xenophobic cases, but I've never seen xenophobic cases before."
"Host, you're not even pretending to be a Southern potato! You got the first sentence wrong. We don't have the term 'old man' in the South."
"Tch! It's just roasted sweet potatoes without a spoon! I've always eaten them by breaking them apart and eating them raw since I was a kid, I'm used to it. Now you want me to eat them with a spoon, I'm not happy about it, hmph!"
"This wave of locals from Harbin is truly a stranger in their hometown. Hahahaha, I was wondering where the 'ha' from Harbin went, turns out it all came to me."
The collaboration between Changhai and Xiangzi really amused the viewers in the live stream.
Seeing that he had been exposed, Xiangzi was too embarrassed to stay any longer.
otherwise……
Let alone the fact that the roasted sweet potatoes weren't broken open or given a spoon, Changhai would probably just take the roasted sweet potatoes back.
At that point, Xiangzi will truly be a clown.
Just as Xiangzi was about to leave, two little potatoes from the south walked up to Changhai's stall.
"Princess, welcome to our Ice City!"
"Want some sweet potatoes? I won't make any money off you, five yuan each, a special price for small potatoes."
"Little potatoes and little golden beans, just come to Ice City. We, the whole city of Ice City, are united and will definitely serve you well!"
Hearing Changhai's loud shouts, Xiangzi's heart sank.
He was unaware of Changhai's double standards, but he never imagined that Changhai could be so hypocritical.
As expected!
There is no harm without comparison.
In this round, Xiangzi has become a complete clown.
Xiangzi squatted on the curb and took a bite of Changhai's roasted sweet potato with resentment.
"I must say! This old man's roasted sweet potatoes are quite fragrant, but locals shouldn't come here to join in the fun. This old man's smile and enthusiasm are unique to small potatoes from the south."
Listening to Xiangzi's silent complaints, the viewers in the live stream laughed heartily.
Day after day, they did nothing but watch the 'funny' of Harbin.
But what they didn't know was that this was just the beginning.
In the time to come, Harbin will continue to bring them surprises and joy.
...
Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau, Director's Office.
Looking at the report in his hand, Wang Jianye couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
During the recent New Year's Day Golden Week holiday, Harbin received a total of three million tourists from other places, generating 6 billion yuan in tourism revenue.
Both the number of tourists received and the total tourism revenue have reached historical peaks.
Faced with unprecedented good results, Wang Jianye's face was beaming with joy.
This time, Harbin has truly broken through the boundaries of tourism, allowing people all over the country to see Harbin.
Just as Wang Jianye was feeling smug, there was a knock on his office door.
Wang Jianye looked up and saw Qin Zian standing in front of the door.
Immediately, Wang Jianye got up and ran towards Qin Zian, inviting him in with a friendly demeanor.
"Zi'an! You've come at the perfect time. The tourism data for New Year's Day has just been compiled, and the company generated six billion yuan in revenue over three days."
"The outstanding achievements of Harbin are inseparable from your hard work. Rest assured, the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau will definitely not let you down."
As he spoke, Wang Jianye led Qin Zian to his seat and gestured for Qin Zian to sit down.
Seeing Wang Jianye's flushed face, Qin Zian knew that he had been blinded by the impressive data.
However, this is not surprising.
After all, that's six billion yuan in tourism revenue.
It's worth noting that Harbin's tourism revenue for the entire year last year was only 30 billion yuan.
But the income from the three-day New Year's Day holiday reached one-fifth of Harbin's annual income last year, and three days was almost equivalent to a quarter's income.
Moreover, this data is not accurate enough.
After all, Qin Zi'an had already started promoting Harbin in early December.
Although the results for that month were not as impressive as those for New Year's Day, they were still quite remarkable.
Even so, Qin Zian did not overstep his bounds and sit in Wang Jianye's seat without any scruples.
It wasn't that Qin Zi'an was afraid of Wang Jianye's status and power, but rather that he respected Wang Jianye.
Qin Zian's success today is not only due to the system's assistance, but also inseparable from Wang Jianye's help and support.
Such kindness and recognition should be remembered.
