The video of a man buying a cup of coffee for 10 yuan from a shop in a street of Nanjing becomes popular. In the video, the elderly owner can be seen opening three small packages (包装袋) of instant coffee and putting them in a cup of hot water, before serving it to the man filming her. The video becomes popular quickly.
Many people come over to taste the coffee from this shop, with some even taking the high-speed railway to check out the place. The shop’s sales have suddenly increased to 300 to 400 cups a day, sometimes causing the owner to run out of hot water.
Han, the shop owner, is 74 years old. She started to sell coffee around 20 years ago and at the time the price for coffee was 6 yuan a cup and she used two packages of Nestle instant coffee. Two years ago, someone told her that her coffee was not strong enough, so she changed her “recipe (食谱)” to three bags of instant coffee per cup and the price was raised to 10 yuan a cup.
However, although her sudden popularity may have given her the attention, the spotlight on Han’s shop has also brought her some challenges, such as an increased workload and bad online comments (评论). Han now hardly has the time to eat her lunch and the Internet users are coming to protect her, encouraging people not to hurt Han in any way.
