In the early days of the founding of the country, people from the Northeast had many interactions with Russians, and their diet was also influenced by Russia.
For example, all kinds of sausages that Russians like, you can now buy them in the Northeast, and there are even more varieties than in Russia itself.
There are also snacks like big bread, kvass, and GaoTousi, which were introduced to the Northeast by Russians.
And when the Russians left, they also took with them the Northeast people's habit of eating sunflower seeds. It's said that now Russians are super enthusiastic about sunflower seeds, and a party without sunflower seeds doesn't count as a successful party.
Lin Xu said while scooping a mouthful of rice:
"I have to say, I'd really like to learn how to make big bread and GaoTousi."
