Every evening around 5pm, Xiao Lu, 19, would set up his fried rice stall at a night market in Yantai city.
Wearing a tailored two-piece suit complete with a tie and, not to mention his good looks, he drew the attention of customers, earning him the nick- name “Western Suit Fried Rice Brother”.
“I wanted to look a bit more refined and add a touch of romance to everyday street life,” he said, adding that he could cook a plate of fried rice in under three minutes.
