Presidential seal of approval

A bun shop in Beijing had an unexpected visitor and is now enjoying an unexpected windfall in fame and fortune.

Qing-Feng Steamed Dumpling Shop's Yuetan branch was surprised with a visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping in late December.

The president insisted on waiting in line with the rest of the patrons and placed an order for a plate of mustard leaves, a bowl of stewed pork liver soup, and six shallot and pork buns. The bill came up to 21 yuan ($3.47).
