On the morning of the 5th, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan and New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi went to the Huarong Market next to Zhongzheng Road in Shilin District to sweep the streets to ask for votes. Chiang Wanan not only mistakenly said that it was "Beitou Ronghua Market", but some netizens also discovered through the live news broadcast that Chiang Wanan was asking the vendors When asking for votes, a staff member directly picked up a bunch of meat dumplings and handed it to Jiang Wanan. Jiang Wanan took it for a while but then pushed it away. The staff also put the meat dumplings directly back into the booth, causing netizens to criticize it as "very rude and unhygienic" and "where is the education?"
"North Korean Defector Ice Wolf", a Facebook fan who often comments on current affairs, posted a question, "It's so rude and unhygienic. It's an exaggeration to take the rice dumplings without authorization, and you even put them back after taking them." "Usually when you go shopping on the street to ask for votes, you must buy a few strings of rice dumplings and pay them to the store to make a relationship. It also gives people the impression that this team is not even willing to do basic human skills. How about putting them back?"
Other netizens also criticized "Where is the education?", "It's so dirty to use other people's products as free props! It disrespects the boss and consumers!", "It's too funny to borrow the boss's rice dumplings to pose for photos," and "I have held so many of them myself. With both hands, the accomplice next to him picked it up without permission, and put it back without buying it with the other hand. His hygiene knowledge is so bad." "I have to say that the people next to Shen Boyang also know how to handle the eyebrows very well, and there is no such thing as random touching or taking."
