Xu Bifen, in her forties and a city native, runs "Grandmother's Lantern Tray" in the old street. The shop's name traces back to her maternal grandmother, who pioneered the traditional Songyang snack "Lantern Tray." The culinary legacy passed through generations, evolving from a street stall to a prominent eatery amid the old street's tourism boom. Formerly employed in a traditional Chinese medicine factory, Bifen left her job to manage the shop. Beyond offering Lantern Tray, the shop provides cold drinks, shaved ice, noodles, Qingming delicacies, and local specialties like Angle Millet, catering to visitors' needs year-round. Bifen is dedicated to ensuring the shop's enduring success.
