Asked for tips, Archie smiled and said that there was an article in the sauce.
Ah Qi, 46 years old, local, wife Ah Xiang, 38 years old, Guangxi people.
20 years ago, Ah Xiang and his cousin went to Hangzhou to work, and After being introduced to Ah Qi, Ah Qi was very careful and would take care of people. The two have a good feeling for each other and naturally come together.

Home on the side of the bridge, opposite the bridge is Dongtang Street, still more lively, there are some factories nearby, workers have to eat supper at night.
"The first bowl of tofu noodles was made at the request of the guests." Ah Qi said, "15 years ago, one night, a man ran to the back kitchen and looked at the kitchen cabinet, there were not many dishes left, 'You gave me this piece of tofu and pickles for a whole bowl.'" ’”
In this way, the first bowl of tofu noodles was made at the request of the guests, and the guests ate and praised. Later, this guest brought a friend to eat like this, "Ah Qi, come to the bowl of tofu noodles." ”
Tofu noodles are on fire, and Ah Qi feels that it is related to the fire of "China on the Tip of the Tongue", because more and more people like to dig up and find special snacks.
At first, only one or two customers loved to eat tofu noodles, and later, three people, five people, and ten people had to eat tofu noodles, which aroused Ah Qi's attention, and the couple consciously focused on "tofu noodles" as the sign in the store.
Ah Qi said, "Tofu noodles, in the end, are passed down by word of mouth by guests." ”

They said that there will be more people on weekends, Huzhou, Hangzhou urban area, some people drive dozens of kilometers to eat noodles, "when the business is good, you can sell four or five hundred bowls of tofu noodles a night, four or five thousand a day, small profits and high sales."
Every morning, Ah Xiang visited the vegetable market, noodles, eggs, greens, and all kinds of meat, and she found that the peppers had recently risen sharply, requiring one or twenty-one pounds.
After purchasing, when you return to the store, you should boil the noodles in boiling water and fish them out of cold water so that the noodles have a tendon, and then cut the side dishes and marinate the beef. Sleep two hours at noon and start busy at 4 p.m. Ah Qi was distressed by Ah Xiang, at more than 10 o'clock in the evening, let her go home early to rest, he watched in the shop, busy until one or two o'clock in the morning.

For the current days, Ah Xiang said that she was quite satisfied, "After almost 20 years of marriage, my husband and I have been together, he is 8 years older than me, and he still takes good care of me as he did then."
