This classic comedy sketch from the 1986 New Year's Eve Gala features a wily, unlicensed lamb skewer vendor trying to get out of paying a fine.
The skit continues with the lamb skewer hawker pretending to be a Uyghur- the ethnic minority associated with his culinary product- to fool the inspector. The only problem is, he knows nothing about his fake homeland, the far western region of Xinjiang.
The enterprising but fraudulent lamb skewer vendor keeps up his charade, pretending not to know enough Mandarin to understand the inspector when he requests to see the man's business license.
The rogue lamb skewer hawker's act is starting to wear thin with an increasingly frustrated inspector. Luckily, he's saved when his dodgy meat comes to the rescue.
The wily vendor has duped the inspector for long enough now. His act is beginning to fall apart and his luck is running out.
