According to legend, Lanzhou beef noodles originated in the Tang Dynasty. According to historical records, Lanzhou beef noodles began in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, and its founder was Chen Weijing. After the inheritance and improvement of later generations, the standard of Lanzhou beef noodles is unified as "one clear (soup), two white (radish), three red (pepper), four green (coriander and garlic) and Huang Wu (noodle Huang Liang)".

Development:

The first stage, from 19 15 to the early 1980s until the reform and opening up, was not popular. After the founding of New China, there were at most a dozen noodle restaurants.

In the second stage, from the early 1980s to the mid-1990s, the quantity surged and the quality was uneven. With the improvement of brand awareness, the popularity of a single store began to affect sales and expand its business to other places. At that time, in the case of insufficient seats in the beef noodle restaurant, the location was narrow and uncomfortable, and the sanitary conditions were poor. Diners had to squat down on the street to taste Lamian Noodles, which was also a great sight in Lanzhou in the old days.

In the third stage, in the mid-1990s, franchise chain began to appear, and standardized management of enterprises gradually became a consensus.

In the fourth stage, from the mid-1990s to the present, corporate culture construction and standardized industrial processes began to be established and developed. Lanzhou beef Lamian Noodles has rapidly changed from local snacks to mass fast food quality in the fission growth of quantity.

Most noodle restaurants open at 6:30 every day, and the daily attendance peak is 10:00. A small noodle restaurant may receive hundreds of people every day. At this time, the beef noodle restaurant is crowded with people. If you want to communicate with those who order noodles, set up stalls and sell tickets, you must shout loudly, which also constitutes a major feature of the beef noodle restaurant.

There are no waiters in traditional noodle restaurants. Everyone is working for the same goal. Just pay for the noodles. Customers and shop assistants cooperate happily.
