It wasn't until I read this southern netizen's speech that I understood why Harbin was so out of the circle, and the Northeast really couldn't get used to this group of "little potatoes" this time.
During this time, some small potatoes on the Internet launched a complaint against Harbin.
It stands to reason that in order to entertain the little potatoes, Harbin can be said to have done everything it could, what to change the knife for frozen pears, add sugar to tofu brain, and install artificial moonshine for Sophia Cathedral...... In short, Harbin's treatment of small potatoes is mainly a give-and-take, and now it can still be complained about, which is really a bit weird.
And when they saw the content of Xiao Tudou's complaints, netizens even called it a little "nothing to do".
Because, this time, the point of the small potato complaint is the amount of vegetables in Harbin, more precisely, "the amount of vegetables in Harbin is too large".
The direction of this complaint, it is indeed a bit surprising, after all, we look at the past complaints about cultural tourism and food, generally what is the restaurant in such and such a place, the dishes in such and such a place are few and unpalatable, or the dishes in such and such a place are not the right version, and now Harbin is cheap and big bowl to entertain guests from all over the world, but it can still attract complaints, and the old irons are indeed a little nervous.
The reason why the little potatoes will complain about the amount of dishes is too much, presumably there are some southern friends who come to the three eastern provinces to travel to see the snow and eat Northeast cuisine, and they may be accustomed to the fact that the amount of dishes in some restaurants in the south is not particularly large when ordering, so in order to be full, they order a few more dishes. It may also be that Harbin, as a tourist city, must eat a few more special dishes at a time, so it is a good order.
As a result, I didn't expect that when I ordered, the prices of the dishes were very different, but when the dishes were served, they were all big plates and bowls, and they could be filled inside, which really gave the little potatoes a deep shock to Harbin.
There is no doubt that no matter what kind of mentality or what kind of living habits, the dishes of the little potatoes are definitely too much, and they will be wasted if they can't eat them, but because they consider that there is a trip later, or there are no heating facilities when they go out, or they want to eat more other delicacies in a different way, it is not realistic to pack them all away, so they issued a "complaint" about the amount of dishes.
Moreover, the small potatoes are obviously moved by the amount of vegetables in Harbin, and in a series of complaints, it is not the eggs to pick the bones, but to suggest that the store, especially the store near the scenic spot, may reduce the amount of dishes, or launch small dishes, to avoid the situation of waste in the case of outsiders who do not understand the amount of local dishes.
As soon as they heard that they were going to reduce the amount of vegetables, the old irons couldn't sit still, and they didn't even think about it!
Many netizens have said that it is the characteristic of Northeast people to be full of large quantities, and since tourists want to experience the characteristics of Northeast folk customs, they should follow the customs.
Some people also said that if the amount is large, it will be less.
Of course, some people said that this time the Northeast must "hold on" and must not bow its head like this "excessively" demand.
Of course, as I said above, many small potatoes complain about the amount of dishes, because they don't understand the local market, and it's easy to waste too many dishes.
But this statement was immediately refuted by some netizens: large quantity and affordability are the labels of Northeast diet, which has nothing to do with saving or not. If you can't eat it, you can pack it, why can you waste it? Besides, star-rated hotels or big hotels are very exquisite, why don't you go? Moreover, half the amount is not equal to half the price, you pat your ass and leave, what should the Northeast people do.
For the question of whether to reduce the amount of vegetables in the Northeast, the two sides are arguing.
Through this incident, the first thing I felt was, of course, the enthusiasm of the people in the Northeast, and the operation of the authentic Northeast cuisine in large quantities, I believe that many people should have a deep understanding or have heard of it.
For example, when the well-known store exploration blogger "True Detective Tang Renjie" rushed to a restaurant in the Northeast to visit the store, he showed the trayed eggplant box with a long arm, and said that under the premise of good taste, six people may not be able to eat the dish ordered by three people.
And Lao Tang's final evaluation was that the amount and price of dishes were "too bullying", because outsiders were really easily taken aback by this huge amount of dishes.
On the other side of the coin, when the Zibo barbecue was popular last year, some netizens exposed that some barbecue skewers and other categories in Hunan were outrageously expensive but small in quantity.
In the comment area of this incident, some people also shared their experience in Shanghai, saying that the three of them ordered twelve dishes before and after, and one could barely eat enough, and one could eat more than a dozen steamed buns early.
In addition, there are many people who question the idea of reducing the amount of dishes.
For example, some people said that although it seems that if you want to meet the needs of small potatoes, you only need to reduce the amount of each meal, but when it comes to the back kitchen, the chef who has developed a habit has to rearrange the dishes and ingredients to re-adapt to the rhythm of stir-frying. Similarly, the restaurant has to re-price each dish, which takes up a lot of manpower and material resources in the middle, and this part of the cost must be borne by the restaurant.
There are also people who feel that the demands put forward by the small potatoes are not the majority after all, and rashly reducing the amount of dishes or providing small portions of dishes, reducing the amount a little less, and not solving the actual needs of the small potatoes, should not be eaten or not. If it is reduced too much, it is likely that another part of the existing large dishes will complain that "Harbin is not sincere enough" and "there will be fewer dishes after the fire", which will cause unexpected public opinion risks in Harbin.
In addition, some people pointed out that Harbin, like Zibo at the beginning, many scenic spots, including some restaurants and hotels, now seem to be for tourists, especially the idea of taking care of the little potatoes, but the largest audience is still local ordinary citizens. If the transformation is purely based on the needs of tourists, it can indeed meet the needs of some tourists, but on the other hand, it also subtly changes the living habits of the locals, which is a bit of putting the cart before the horse.
Of course, whether the above controversies can promote Harbin to develop small portions of dishes like changing knives for frozen pears, at present, some stores have begun to provide small portions of meals, and remind them in a conspicuous position that they can be packed, etc., to gradually adapt to the needs of this part of the customer, but whether the follow-up can be fully rolled out depends on how each restaurant operates and coordinates.
However, compared with the large number of complaints and condemnations about the chaos we talked about earlier, and even compared with the chaos of the "yin and yang menu" that occurred in Harbin at the beginning, Harbin can be complained about this time, not because Harbin has a moth, but because it reflects the recognition of tourists' enthusiasm for the local area, and even because the locals are too enthusiastic, some small potatoes once "can't digest", so it is proposed whether small meals should be served.
The reason for the heated discussion is more interesting, and the focus of the controversy is not the quality of the meal, but whether or not to change the characteristics of their large quantities for the needs of the little potatoes, this kind of debate is actually benign, sustainable, and everyone likes to see the behavior.
After all, no matter what, if all scenic spots and restaurants in the future can make customers not spend more money, or feel that the food is unpalatable, because they can't eat too much and then cause controversy, it means that our entire cultural tourism service has truly embarked on a state of benign development.
So what do you guys think?
