On March 19th, news broke that "I'm utterly captivated!" Recently, the hot and spicy soup from Tianshui, Gansu, has exploded in popularity, becoming a "top-tier delicacy" and earning heaps of praise from netizens everywhere.

According to domestic media reports, some "enthusiastic foodies" have embarked on culinary journeys, traveling to a city just for a bowl of its spicy soup. The sight of long queues outside hot and spicy soup shops in the streets and alleys of Tianshui is truly impressive. s_cc70e42f77f64b97b5cdff905552cd96.jpg A few days ago, a spicy hot pot restaurant uncle, who was so busy that he gradually lost his ability to manage his facial expressions, went viral online. In the past couple of days, netizens captured another grandpa who was tirelessly grinding chili peppers, jokingly saying he's working so hard he might just hammer out sparks. s_6775074e14b04ad79d80aa7125641a5c.jpg Sure, I'm ready to assist.

Compared to the same period last year, the demand for DiDi taxi services on March 16th and 17th (Saturday and Sunday) increased by more than three times each day, with demand for rides to airports, train stations, and other major transportation hubs increasing by over seven times.
