zuì jìn最近,zhōng guó中国hěn很duō多dì fāng地方de的“lán zhōu兰州lā miàn拉面”diàn店huàn换le了xīn新zhāo pái招牌,gǎi míng改名jiào叫“qīng hǎi青海lā miàn拉面”le了。

Recently, many “Lanzhou Lamian” restaurants in China have put up new signs and changed their name to “Qinghai Lamian.”

hěn很duō多rén人kě néng可能bù不zhī dào知道,yuán lái原来quán guó全国dà jiē xiǎo xiàng大街小巷de的“lán zhōu lā miàn兰州拉面”,chà bu duō差不多yǒu有bǎi fēn zhī jiǔ shí百分之九十dōu都shì是qīng hǎi青海rén人kāi开de的。

Many people may not know that about 90 percent of the “Lanzhou Lamian” restaurants found on streets across the country were actually opened by people from Qinghai.

wèi shén me为什么qīng hǎi青海rén人yào要yòng用lán zhōu兰州de的míng zì名字ne呢?

Why did people from Qinghai use Lanzhou’s name?

shàng上shì jì世纪bā shí八十nián dài年代,yī xiē一些qīng hǎi青海rén人wèi le为了gǎi biàn改变pín kùn贫困de的shēng huó生活,lí kāi离开jiā xiāng家乡qù去wài dì外地kāi开miàn guǎn面馆。

In the 1980s, some people from Qinghai left their hometowns to open noodle shops elsewhere in order to improve their poor living conditions.

yīn wèi因为dāng shí当时lán zhōu兰州de的niú ròu miàn牛肉面yǐ jīng已经fēi cháng非常yǒu míng有名,wèi le为了xī yǐn吸引kè rén客人,tā men他们jiù就jiè yòng借用le了“lán zhōu兰州lā miàn拉面”de的míng zì名字。

At that time, Lanzhou beef noodles were already very famous, so they used the name “Lanzhou Lamian” to attract customers.

wèi le为了shì yìng适应wài dì外地kè rén客人de的shēng huó生活jié zòu节奏,tā men他们bǎ把miàn面de的zuò fǎ做法biàn dé变得gèng更jiǎn dān简单,chū cān出餐gèng更kuài快,jià gé价格yě也gèng更pián yi便宜。

To fit the pace of life of customers in other places, they simplified the noodle-making process, served food faster, and lowered the prices.

jiù就zhè yàng这样,qīng hǎi青海rén人bǎ把lā miàn拉面diàn店kāi开dào到le了quán guó gè dì全国各地。

In this way, people from Qinghai opened lamian restaurants all over the country.

dàn shì但是,suí zhe随着zhè zhǒng这种miàn guǎn面馆yuè lái yuè越来越duō多,lán zhōu兰州rén人kāi shǐ开始dān xīn担心le了。

However, as more and more of these noodle shops appeared, people in Lanzhou began to worry.

yīn wèi因为lán zhōu兰州běn dì本地de的niú ròu miàn牛肉面fēi cháng非常jiǎng jiū讲究,zuò做tāng汤hé和lā miàn拉面de的yāo qiú要求dōu都hěn很gāo高。

This was because Lanzhou’s local beef noodles are made with great care, with high standards for both the broth and the hand-pulled noodles.

tā men他们jué de觉得,jiē tóu街头shàng上jiǎn dān简单kuài sù快速de的“lán zhōu兰州lā miàn拉面”hé和chuán tǒng传统de的wèi dào味道bù不yī yàng一样,yǐng xiǎng影响le了lán zhōu兰州niú ròu miàn牛肉面de的míng shēng名声。

They felt that the simple, fast “Lanzhou Lamian” sold on the streets tasted different from the traditional version and harmed the reputation of Lanzhou beef noodles.

yú shì于是,lán zhōu兰州yě也kāi shǐ开始xiàng向wài dì外地kāi diàn开店,hái还shēn qǐng申请le了zhuān mén专门de的shāng biāo商标,zhì dìng制定le了yán gé严格de的zuò fǎ做法biāo zhǔn标准,gào sù告诉dà jiā大家shén me什么shì是zhēn zhèng真正de的lán zhōu兰州wèi dào味道。

So Lanzhou also began opening restaurants in other places. It applied for a special trademark and set strict preparation standards to show people what the real Lanzhou flavor is.

kàn dào看到lán zhōu兰州de的zuò fǎ做法,qīng hǎi青海de的lā miàn拉面rén人yě也màn màn慢慢míng bái明白,jiè借lái来de的míng zì名字bù néng不能yòng用yī bèi zi一辈子。

Seeing what Lanzhou was doing, Qinghai noodle makers gradually realized that they could not use a borrowed name forever.

zài在dāng dì当地zhèng fǔ政府de的bāng zhù帮助xià下,qīng hǎi青海kāi shǐ开始rèn zhēn认真dǎ zào打造shǔ yú属于zì jǐ自己de的lā miàn拉面pǐn pái品牌。

With help from local governments, Qinghai began seriously building its own noodle brand.

xiàn zài现在,hěn很duō多miàn guǎn面馆lǎo bǎn老板dōu都yuàn yì愿意zhǔ dòng主动huàn换shàng上“qīng hǎi青海lā miàn拉面”de的xīn新zhāo pái招牌,yīn wèi因为tā men他们duì对zì jǐ自己xīn kǔ辛苦zuò做chū lái出来de的miàn面yuè lái yuè越来越yǒu有xìn xīn信心。

Now, many noodle-shop owners are willing to replace their signs with “Qinghai Lamian,” because they have become increasingly confident in the noodles they have worked so hard to make.

jiè yòng借用le了sān shí三十duō nián多年de的míng zì名字,xiàn zài现在zhōng yú终于huán gěi还给le了lán zhōu兰州。

After using the name for more than 30 years, they have finally given it back to Lanzhou.

zài zhè在这jǐ shí几十nián年lǐ里,qīng hǎi青海rén人de的nǔ lì努力ràng让quán guó全国rén人dōu都xǐ huān喜欢shàng上le了chī吃lā miàn拉面,ér而lán zhōu兰州rén人de的jiān chí坚持yě也bǎo hù保护le了chuán tǒng传统de的yǐn shí饮食wén huà文化。

Over these decades, the hard work of people from Qinghai has made people across China enjoy lamian, while the persistence of people from Lanzhou has protected traditional food culture.

xiàn zài现在,liǎng两wǎn碗miàn面gè zì各自zǒu走shàng上le了bù tóng不同de的lù路,zhè这yě也shì是yí gè一个guān yú关于qín fèn勤奋hé和hù xiāng互相zūn zhòng尊重de的hǎo好gù shì故事。

Now, the two bowls of noodles are taking different paths. This is also a good story about hard work and mutual respect.
