Preface
Bathhouses, factories and chimneys are several important products of the Northeast in the last century, with rich historical and cultural heritage.
However, recently, the seemingly ordinary small potatoes in the south have created an unexpected hot search to "occupy" the bathhouse in the northeast after arriving in the north.
Why are southerners called little potatoes, and why does this "hot search" happen? Why do southerners have a soft spot for bathhouses in the north?
Calling the mayor's hotline, one sentence is on the hot search?
On January 3, a "boss called the mayor's hotline to ask for a call: potatoes are waiting" news appeared on the hot search, and netizens were curious, what is going on with potatoes?
Xiaobian verified and found that when a southern tourist was eating iron pot stew in a restaurant in the northeast, the power suddenly went out, and the hotel owner was in a hurry and called the mayor's hotline, "Hurry up, the potatoes are waiting."
Northeast netizens: It's really good to mention "potatoes".
Later, the Internet gradually became a small potato. So, why are southerners called "little potatoes"?
In fact, this has something to do with the difference between the north and the south. Northerners are usually burly, while southerners are relatively petite and adorable.
On the other hand, the word "small" is a kind of good-looking, beautiful, and good-looking, such as famous snacks in the south, such as xiaolongbao, crayfish, garlic cabbage, and xiaolongbao. Do you still hate the word "small" when it comes to this?
Speaking of this "potato" guest, friends in the south can't put it down. In the southern food culture, potato is the nickname of the potato, and it occupies an important position in the southern diet and is deeply loved by people.
Some netizens left a message in the comment area, Northeast people are praising the cuteness of small potatoes, and burying people is in big words, such as big landmines, earth tanks, and land slips.
Speaking of which, some people can't wait to know how to distinguish a "small potato"?
Southerners behave strangely in the North
As an editor who has lived in the north for many years, I will teach you a few ways to quickly identify small potatoes. Most Southerners will have the signature attire, wearing a brighter down jacket and a warm woolen hat on their heads.
In addition, some little girls will wear thick ear bags or scarves, while northerners mostly choose black clothes.
Left: Northerners, Right: Outlanders
In addition to distinguishing from the color of the clothes, it can also be distinguished from the behavior.
When it snows, most of those who sit alone by the window, staring at the heavy snow outside, full of surprise, are southerners! Seeing this, some people in the Northeast can't help but laugh because they think this reaction is so cute.
Some people may not have heard or seen the scene of how much southerners love snow, but after listening to the following examples, you will have a different opinion on "small potatoes".
In many places in the north, snowflakes fall, while in the south, the weather plummets and rains continuously. To be honest, for those in the south who have never seen snow in person, the snowy scenery of the north is really very attractive!
We saw the strange behavior of southerners around us, and most of them plunged headlong into the snow, and we didn't know if she was holding the snow or getting drunk.
The southern friends around me reacted more amusementably after seeing the snow than the above situation. I remember one time, Xiaobian went to Shenyang on a business trip with a customer from Guangzhou, and heard the radio say that it was raining in Harbin, and she was very happy as a foreigner.
After finishing the work, we drove more than 500 kilometers north from Shenyang, drove for more than 6 hours, and finally saw the snow in Harbin.
Netizen: Southerners are more energetic to watch snow than to watch the Spring Festival Gala!
A few days later, friends from Nanjing also came to the north to see the snow, and I naturally promised to do my best to be a landlord. He scared me a lot when he was playing in the snow on the spot, so what's going on?
On that day, the temperature in Shenyang once dropped to minus 30 degrees Celsius, thinking that it would not be easy for them to come once, so I took them to the famous Northeast Asian ski resort in Shenyang.
And guess what? The editor was completely stunned! But that Nanjing friend was very happy and had a great time. When the editor asked them if they were cold, they actually replied "hot", and the editor thought to myself that you are too capable of carrying it!
Netizen: Anti-frost expert.
Well, we talked about how the name "little potato" came from in the south, how to identify the "little potato", and also talked about the strange behavior of the southerners in the northeast.
Speaking of this, many people will question why the southerners "little potatoes" are flocking to the Northeast, and the number is still so large, and this strange behavior - I just like the bathhouse in the Northeast.
Why did the small potatoes from the south come all the way to the northeast?
To make it clear that southerners prefer bathhouses in the northeast, some old iron will say that southerners love to take a bath, and the editor wants to say that southerners spend thousands of yuan on tickets to go all the way to the northeast to take a bath, and the cost is too great?
Therefore, it is necessary for us to first talk about why the southerners came all the way to the northeast.
Ice and snow festival, have you ever heard of it? It is to play in the ice and snow, it is really exciting! Harbin is such a place, you may not know, the Chinese New Year's Eve here is the most beautiful! In winter, everywhere is covered with white snowflakes, and the water is as bright as a mirror.
Harbin's Sun Island, Ice and Snow World, etc. are all excellent tourist attractions, and they are definitely worth seeing! Harbin Music Festival is so popular that it is close to the hot search topic on Weibo!
Harbin's Ice and Snow World announced at 2:22 p.m. on December 31, 2023 that the number of tourists was overwhelming and ticket sales were suspended. Some B&Bs are fully booked on New Year's Day.
According to Aurora News, on December 27, the number of Harbin railway passengers in the ice and snow season in Heilongjiang exceeded 10 million, and the population of Harbin is about 9 million. It is to transport all the population of Harbin out, and there are still 100,000 people left, and it is clear that the population of other cities occupies the main tourist force.
Netizen: The enthusiasm of tourists from other places is too high!
In Harbin, according to a local landlord, it is not uncommon for his 24 rooms to fill up every day recently. Most of these guests came from Guangdong and Jiangsu in the south! Just to see the "ice city" of Harbin.
These explosive tourism data, it is obvious that the local authorities have made a lot of preferential policies. In addition, Xiao Shenyang, a heavyweight in the entertainment industry, was specially invited to help. Clearly, they want to use the power of music to inject more vibrancy and variety into the city.
The performance scene in Xiaoshenyang not only brought laughter, but also staged a touching drama. During the singing, he did not hesitate to remove his gloves, perhaps out of respect for the unprotected audience. By observing Xiao Shenyang's facial expressions, it is not difficult to find that the cold is indeed a big challenge for him.
Netizen: Little Shenyang deserves to be popular!
Speaking of which, some friends are curious, why is the Ice and Snow Music Festival so popular?
From CCTV's interview with a person in charge of Heilongjiang, it can be heard that their popularity is reasonable and expected.
After listening, the editor summarized 2 points, fully prepared and attentive service. In order to organize this festival, the local authorities began to prepare for the organization more than one year ago, and used the Internet thinking to publicize and report.
In addition, they observe and serve attentively everywhere, such as tourists leaving messages in the comment area and wanting to see the moon. The local authorities responded immediately and urgently made a simulated moon.
Netizen: Chang'e is willing to stay a little longer when she sees it.
The artificial moon in Harbin
Harbin has been preparing for this event for so long and reporting for so long, waiting to receive visitors from afar. As the saying goes, everything is only due to the east wind, and perhaps the "little potato" in the south is the shareholder wind.
Where is the "heat" in the fiery bathing culture?
The Harbin Ice and Snow Festival not only brings a wonderful music experience to tourists, but also promotes the prosperity of offline consumption, the most lively of which is the bathhouse.
Some people joke that there are three major centers in the mainland: the political center of the capital, the economic center of Shanghai, and the bathing center of Northeast China. Harbin Bathing Center, because of its unique interior design and comfortable service, is warmly sought after by tourists from the south.
According to the data of a certain group, two days before New Year's Day, the order volume of bathing centers in Shenyang, Harbin, Changchun and other regions actually exceeded the national average order volume!
Xiaobian visited several of the well-known Internet celebrity bathing centers, and sure enough, there were crowds of people, long queues, and some bathing centers were even full of unfamiliar faces, and the number of people was staggering.
Some netizens are curious, what is so special about the bathhouses in the Northeast that they are "far ahead"?
According to some southern tourists, the charm of these bathhouses is not only that they are spacious, luxurious and warm, but more importantly, they contain a strong local culture.
Netizen: Typical group effect!
To tell you the truth, the bathhouses in the Northeast are very unexpected! The area is much larger than we imagined! The area of ordinary bathhouses is about "the size of the palm", but these arrogant bathhouses in the Northeast are all oversized, and some even exceed 10,000 square meters, which is equivalent to the size of several football fields!
Netizen: Poverty limits imagination!
Speaking of style, it absorbs a variety of trendy elements such as Korean style and Japanese style, and it is simply a variety of postures and everything, which makes people's eyes shine!
The question is, how much does it cost to get into these "big" bathhouses?
It is reported that the ticket price is roughly between 50 yuan and 150 yuan, which also includes the double enjoyment of bathing and scrubbing! This is really cost-effective, and most places also provide accommodation services, and those who want to rub for a while do not have to worry about lack of time.
Not only do ordinary people love to take a bath, but even big stars Shen Teng and Deng Chao also love it. In the 2012 Spring Festival Gala sketch "Today's Happiness", Shen Teng played a bathing worker in a bathing center, saying that it was nice to listen to "human epidermal research", and Shen Teng created a series of funny and touching stories.
Netizen: Sure enough, art comes from life.
Also, a variety show starring Deng Chao moved the recording scene to a large bathhouse in the northeast, seeing Deng Chao surrounded by a group of beautiful aunts, some viewers could only laugh, Deng Chao didn't stop laughing, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.
When Deng Chao asked the aunts at the scene to have fun in the bathhouse, they replied, "Soaking in the hot springs, playing poker, and rubbing in the bath...... , I'm done shooting a little video to play".
Netizen: Auntie's bath ticket this time is too worthwhile!
Bathing is an unbearable sin for some people
In addition to the unique style and large area of the bathhouse, it is also necessary to talk about the bathing techniques in the Northeast to avoid "stepping on the pit", how to say this?
Scrubbing is a pleasure for some people, and for a small part, it can be a sin. On August 21, 2020, according to the "Liaoshen Evening News", a man from the south went to a bathhouse in the northeast to take a bath, and for unknown reasons, he caused local broken skin and slight bleeding, and finally called the police. After mediation, the bath master compensated 100 yuan to resolve the dispute.
Netizen: The Northeast bath master really lives up to his reputation, and the southern guy becomes "famous" in a fight!
Hahaha, for some people, the stinging and sour feeling when scrubbing in the bath is really great! You can even scrub the bath while snoring! To borrow a sentence from Song Dandan's sketch, people who have no heart and lungs have a high quality of sleep.
It's time to knock on the blackboard, if the master pats you on the body during the bath, hehe, it's not tired, it's just telling you that it's time to wipe it on the other side!
Also, how much ash-bottomed "mud" you can rub off your body can reflect how neat this bath master is when he does his work. And there is a saying that the master can lose several pounds after rubbing it once! Of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but it also reflects from the side that the master can really help you rub off a lot of ash.
If you feel that you have less ash, you can ask the master "What kind of food did you eat at noon, didn't you eat enough" to ensure that after you finish rubbing, you will be comfortable!
Of course, if you can't enjoy the stinging and sour feeling, you still obediently take the towel to the next room, and slowly rub and take a bath by yourself, so as not to make you cry and call your mother.
On January 4, the People's Daily publicized the grand opening of the 40th China Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival through Weibo, and on January 5, the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival, the city was closed for one day.
Netizen: Erbin, please wait for me.
Author's point of view
Ordinary people are bustling to celebrate the festival and are willing to hand over their wallets to merchants, which is a thriving scene. Every time we hold a festival, we need to learn from the experience and lessons to strive for a prosperous next year and avoid a flash in the pan.
In the first half of 2023, the barbecue festival held in Zibo, Shandong Province was once in full swing. As of November 2023, there are more than 2,000 barbecue restaurants in Zibo, but many of them have closed their doors.
No matter what industry you are in, understand the problem, focus on the future, and do things in a down-to-earth manner.
