Some people have even described him as being as passionate about his job as the popular cartoon character, SpongeBob.
Li Junyong, 48, has been selling chicken steak on the street in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province for years.

As a result, he has earned the nickname “Chicken Steak Brother”, the mainland news outlet Shandian News reported.
Li attracted significant attention after a local food blogger met him by chance on the street at a particularly hectic time.
“I am extremely busy. I have to finish these orders quickly. Then I must arrive at the gate of No 5 Middle School. The students will be released soon and they will be waiting for me,” Li was filmed explaining to the blogger while he busily fried chicken steaks.

“If I am not there on time, they will call me a liar because we have an agreement that I sell chicken steaks at their school gate after they are released from school,” he added.
