Jiang Feng's stall was flanked by many tables and chairs, where customers could sit and savor their purchased stir-fried swimming crab with rice cakes.
Zhang Haoran was the first customer to buy the swimming crab.
Having nothing to do at 6:30 this morning, he came here to queue. He had brought a power bank, so it was just a matter of playing a few rounds of 'Jin Chan Chan'.
He stood at the front of the line, head down, immersed in the thrill of drawing cards.
Initially, there weren't many people behind him.
After his first game ended, he looked back and saw thirty more people had lined up; everyone had arrived early to wait.
After his second game, Zhang Haoran looked back again to see the line had grown incredibly long. Many livestreamers had also come over, making the scene very lively.
He clicked his tongue. Good thing I came early, he thought.
Then, he continued playing 'Jin Chan Chan'.
The line grew longer and longer.
