The leader of the cafe
The leader in the cafe, the end of the wind, the old Kunming gossip series
In 1910, the small train of Yunnan-Vietnam Railway entered Kunming. Many foreigners who came to Kunming for the first time found that there were authentic western restaurants here. "No profit can not get up early", still in the railway construction, some French and Vietnamese engaged in catering have seen Kunming Western business opportunities, the first to enter Kunming.
However, according to records, these western restaurants are full of effort to make a lot of money, each person to eat at least a piece of ocean, doomed to ordinary people. Therefore, business is limited, and there are always news of closures.
More than 20 years later, a western restaurant named "Xin Yue" opened on Jinbi Road. As its name suggests, it was opened by Vietnamese people. The female boss was named Ruan Min Xuan, who was said to be the descendant of a famous family in Taiyuan, Vietnam.
"New Yue" Western restaurant interior decoration elegant, train seat dining environment to today is not out of date. The dishes were also good. The chef could even make seafood "clam shell meat" with pork. But Kunming's domestic demand at that time and now also can not be pulled up, the price is prohibitive.
Under such circumstances, Xin Yue changed its name to Nan Lai Sheng Cafe within a few years, specializing in Vietnamese coffee and western snacks, and its French crust bread is very distinctive. All of a sudden,"Nanlai Sheng" rose to fame in Kunming and became a fashionable place for the general public to taste coffee.
Even during the War of Resistance Against Japan, Nanlaisheng was bustling despite the hardships of people's livelihood in Kunming's rear area. Shen Congwen of Southwest United University invited Hu Shi to drink coffee here, and Chen Jiageng, the leader of overseas Chinese, also came. However, you may not have noticed a Vietnamese baker who was often absent from the shop. He was Ho Chi Minh, the leader of Vietnam.
Ho Chi Minh came to Kunming in 1940 to do underground work and led the Vietnamese people's revolution in an open capacity as a baker. Until now, the identity of Nguyen Min Xuan, the boss of Nam Lai Sheng, is still a mystery to us, and the person she protected for the future of the motherland has finally become the hope of the Vietnamese people.
In 1956, Nanlai Sheng was public-private partnership, even in the later crazy years, Nanlai Sheng "bourgeois flavor" coffee is still fragrant in Kunming. Later,"serving the workers, peasants and soldiers", Nanlai Sheng added Kunming rice noodles, as well as a kind of Vietnamese fried noodles. The slightly cooked noodles were fried and fragrant, and a spoonful of cover juice made of shredded meat and mushrooms was poured. The fragrance could be smelled far away.
Until the 1990s, Kunming city transformation, Nanlai Sheng moved a few places, disappeared. Later, we learned that Nanlai Sheng was the first Kunming restaurant recommended by the magazine in the World Travel Magazine abroad.
President Ho Chi Minh's prestige among the Vietnamese people has not diminished to this day. The neighboring province of Guangxi has designated the place where he lived and worked as an object of protection, attracting Vietnamese people to visit China. However, my home Kunming, Nanlai Sheng name, was McDonald's, Starbucks diluted instead, gradually forgotten.
