Food and a haircut in ChunNing

His food encounters continue when he meets Mr. Wong, who sells century eggs and also works as a barber. A conversation with him leads to an unexpected haircut. Miscommunication makes the haircut funny and unpredictable, while the interaction gives PPPeter a chance to spend time with a local resident.
