Overview

"Do you have fire?" "We have fire today." This question and answer is a necessary secret code for authentic barbecue in Changchun. Being able to say "Do you have fire?" is enough to prove your status as a regular customer and showcase your proficiency in Changchun barbecue slang. Getting a response from the boss of "We have fire today" means that the barbecue feast tonight is about to begin. The art of controlling the fire in barbecue reminds us to seize the opportunity and master the timing in life, but on a barbecue stall, it's better to let go of all that.
