S: Hello, everyone, this is The foodie road!We are Sunny and 


L:Lucia!


S: MBTI has always been a hot topic of discussion among people. Now the element "MBTI" has fully integrated into our lives.


L: Yes, it can be seen everywhere now. The definition of “MBTI” is combined with different kinds of food brand and places. I heard that some companies even require job seekers to indicate their MBTI when writing resumes. It's amazing!


S: So Lucia, what is your MBTI? You must be E! Because you are totally extroverted.


L: You’re right, ha ha ha. I am ENFJ. So, Sunny, you are also E, right?


S: Sure thing! I am ENFP!


L: Ha ha ha, the personality traits of E people are too obvious! Some of our classmates, especially those from Northeast China, their level of extroversion exceeds my imagination.


S: That's right! Have you ever been to the morning market in Northeast China? I can always see the video of bloggers introducing the morning market in Northeast China on Tik-tok and YouTube recently. Oh my gosh, the dealer there is so enthusiastic and hospitable, They are very keen to give free food to out-of-town visitors! In addition, the food sold in the morning market is also very unique!


L: What's more, the prices in Northeast China are so cheap, and the amount of food is also plenty! For example, steamed bread and steamed buns are bigger than our fists. One dollar can even buy four! I mean, can you imagine that? FOUR!


S: I know, I know ha ha. They are also good at innovation. About Steamed bread, there are not only the plain Steamed bread, but also different flavors, like paste, corn, brown sugar, black sesame and so on! I can't count it all, its too much. There are also many options for the fillings of steamed buns, not only pork, but also beef, vegetables and mushrooms, as well as leeks and eggs. For someone like me who has Selection phobia, choosing breakfast would totally be a “catastrophe” for me .


L: Yeah! The fried dough sticks in the northeast is also very big, NO! Its HUGE! Its even as thick as my arm! I can totally full with one fried dough sticks!


S: Speaking of this, I remember that I recently saw that people in Northeast China also developed chocolate flavored fried dough sticks. On the basis of making original fried dough sticks, add chocolate powder, and the fried dough sticks will become black.


L: That sounds cool ha ha! I hope there would be fried dough sticks with Stinky tofu flavor one day.


S: It sounds a bit strange haha, but worth a try.


L: Fried leek dumplings is also one of the characteristics of Northeast Morning Market. Sunny, have you eaten it?


S: Of course I have tried, the taste is very delicious! Wrap the pre fried leeks and scrambled eggs in dough, just like making dumplings. If you want the filling to be more delicious, you can add chicken powder or dried shrimp. However, if you gonna hanging out with other people, I don't really recommend the Fried leek dumplings, because the taste of leeks is very heavy, just like garlic. Although it tastes delicious, when you approach others to talk, the taste is really... you know.


L: Ha ha ha, that's right! The Fried leek dumplings is really delicious! Even the Olympic champion Ailing GU mentioned in the interview after the competition that the most desirable food after the competition is Fried leek dumplings.


S; That's right! Once you try, it's hard to resist the temptation of Fried leek dumplings. Moreover, people in the Northeast part have also made great efforts in the innovation of a delicacy ---- Tanghulu.


L: Yes, sure thing! I also saw this when I was watching videos! I'm really shocked! About Tanghulu,we can usually see all kinds of fruits wrapped by the syrup. But in the morning market, you can see Tanghulu made of green pepper, spicy strips, and even made of sausage. In summary, only we can imagine that there is no innovative cuisine that North-easterners cannot make!


S: Yeah, they are just so creative and lovely, ha ha! The prices of foods in Northeast China are low and they are all very delicious. I even consider living there for a period of time in the future!


L: But Sunny, if you're afraid of the cold, I hope you'll consider it carefully. Because in the northern part of China, most areas start to snow in early November, and the whole winter will be freezing out!


S: Ah? Isn't that just like Minnesota? I've been living with my best friend for almost half a month in Minnesota before, and it's really cold for me. So I really need to think about it.


L: Okay, then take your time to think about it. I plan to end today's podcast! Goodbye everyone! The weather has turned cold, remember to keep warm!


S: Hey! I’m not ready to go yet! 🤬Fine! Then we'll see you next time! Goodbye!


L: Goodbye!
