The vendor, known as Ye, sells fried stinky tofu on a snack street in Wuhan, central Hubei province.
He bears a striking resemblance to the famous Chinese actor Chen Jianbin, who plays Emperor Yongzheng in the viral television series Zhen Huan Zhuan.
Ye, 40, started selling fried stinky tofu at the end of last year after his breakfast shop went bankrupt.
Initially, the tofu business struggled, the Haibao News reported.
In February, one of his friends who sells ducks near his stall suggested he wear a cap like the one worn by Chen in the television dramas to attract the attention of passers-by.

Ye said he was unwilling at first, but changed his mind for the sake of his business.
