It is 2023 now. Recently, a woman surnamed (姓) Chen became popular on the Internet. She is called “Goose Leg Auntie”. However, that caused a little trouble to her life. “I don’t want to be famous, let alone an influencer. I just want to live a simple life and continue making delicious food for the students, just like before,” she said.
Chen and her husband Liang began selling grilled goose legs 5 years ago, selling over 200 legs per day at a chosen university. Their grilled goose legs are popular among students. Students can order grilled goose legs through WeChat, and they get it in designated places. “We sell the goose legs for 15 yuan each to Peking University students. For other schools, it’s a bit more expensive, 16 yuan each. It’s not favoritism; it’s just that other schools are a bit farther,” said Liang.
Chen expressed her surprise at the attention she had got on the Internet. “So much attention from society, I’m just a common person and want to make grilling safe and peaceful. Never expected so much human traffic and pressure,” she said. So much attention led Chen and her husband to make a hard decision. Starting from Wednesday, they halted the sale of goose legs and began looking for a right place to open a small shop.
