How did a 96-year-old stall owner become an "Internet celebrity"?

Someone was taking pictures with equipment and kept asking the old lady questions.

In just 4 minutes, a fragrant vegetable bun will be ready. Perhaps because of becoming an internet celebrity, it was extremely popular that night and the supply of steamed buns exceeded the demand. There are also young people who come to her in luxury cars and station wagons to buy steamed buns. While many people were happy about the old lady's booming business, the old lady waved her hands and said, "It's too tiring. I don't want to be like this."

Although she said this, she still tried her best to satisfy everyone. A diner who went there. From the old lady's point of view, regardless of whether they are here to eat steamed buns or just to see people, they are all guests anyway and must be taken care of. At 3 o'clock in the morning the next day, when there were not much dough and leeks, she still shouted: "One for each person, let everyone try it."
