What is the way to "stay" in Tianshui Mala Tang, which is "greedy over the whole network"?
Xinhua News Agency, Lanzhou, March 17 (Reporter Wang Zixuan, Wen Jing) In the streets and lanes, people from all over the world either sit or stand in long lines; In the small courtyard, the string of "holding flowers" held high outlined the "fresh fragrance" of spring scenery in front of the stalls. The locals passing by were flattered and sighed: "The last time there were so many people in Tianshui, it was the time when Zhuge Liang conquered Jiang Wei in the Northern Expedition!"

Tianshui City, Gansu Province is near the Qinling Mountains and Weihe River. According to the introduction of relevant departments in Tianshui, Tianshui has a history of more than 8,000 years of civilization origin, with cultural labels such as the birthplace of Fuxi, the ancestor of Chinese culture, Dadiwan culture, the earliest feudal city of Qin people, the ancient battlefield of the Three Kingdoms, and Maijishan Grottoes, the "Oriental Sculpture Exhibition Hall". Recently, a bowl of mala Tang made this small town in the northwest jump to the topic of "C" on the whole network.
At 6 o’clock in the morning, there was a long queue in the small courtyard next to the Confucian Temple in Qinzhou District, Tianshui City. In the popular "punch-in point" Haiying Mala Tang Restaurant, more than 10 shop assistants are busy cutting vegetables and stringing vegetables. "Now more than 700 people are received every day, and supper is a dinner." The proprietress Ha Haiying said in a hoarse voice.
In the face of a steady stream of customers, Ha Haiying is as busy as other mala Tang shops in the small courtyard. "We have been opening a store for more than 20 years. It is a local people from snacks to big old brands, and the ingredients have been optimized." She said that the explosion was unexpected and reasonable.

"This is the soul of Tianshui Mala Tang." Ha Haiying pointed to the fragrant ingredients on the operating table: "The pepper planting in Gangu County of Tianshui City has a long history, and the spicy oil is red and bright, spicy and fragrant. Coupled with the local fresh and hemp pepper, the unique sauce can’t be fragrant when poured! "
"The ingredients are also special." Hu Xiaoyu, the proprietress of another mala Tang restaurant, pointed to the most popular "single product" potato balls and hand-rolled powder and said, "This is a home-cooked food that Tianshui people have fried and rolled for generations. The balls are crisp and the noodles are smooth, which is hard to eat in other places."

"Thanks to netizens, it’s really delicious." After queuing for three hours, Cao Jing, a post-90s girl from Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, was satisfied with the delicious food she was thinking about. "Before surfing the Internet, 8 of the 10 videos recommended Tianshui Mala Tang, and it was too bad to come." Cao Jing said that nowadays, various social platforms have become an important channel for young people to "ponder".
The network promotes the "explosive" spread of local food culture, and also brings a "feast" of cultural travel in many directions. At the scene, many people held their mobile phones high, including locals who promoted Gansu’s special products and scenic spots, and foreign tourists who were thinking about going back to open branches after trying new products and exploring stores. In the live broadcast rooms, netizens all over the country kept brushing the screen: "Gansu, how many surprises do you have?"

Surprise is not only strength, but also attitude. These days, Tianshui is a "pet powder" in the whole city. Volunteers from communities, streets and universities guard the order and answer questions at the scene. Enterprises and citizens spontaneously send water, food and hand-painted travel guides to the guests. The government strengthens supervision, strictly controls prices, refurbishes roads and revitalizes the city, and opens special lines, parking spots and luggage storage points.
Outside the yard, Li Yan, a 25-year-old girl from Northeast China, waited with her luggage: "I got off the high-speed train and took the’ Mala Tang Special Line’ bus. It was a good experience." Li Yan feels that the popularity of a city must not rely solely on food, but also on the charm of local culture and services. "After eating mala Tang, I plan to go to Fuxi Temple and Maijishan to get to know the real Tianshui."
