Restaurant owner's tribute to sanitation workers | 武汉这家面馆请环卫工免费吃面

　　From the first day to the tenth day during the Spring Festival, every sanitation worker who entered the Niubazi Noodles Restaurant in Wusheng West Street, Qiaokou District was served with a bowl of noodles for free. This is the way that Yi Wenjing, the shop owner, pays tribute to sanitation workers.

　　大年初一至初十，每位环卫工进武汉市硚口区武胜西街的“牛把子粉面馆”，都可以免费吃上一碗粉面。面馆老板易文晶希望用这种方式表达对环卫工人的敬意。

　　Cai Jinyu, a 60-year-old from Yangxin, Hubei province, has been working as a sanitation worker in Wuhan for three years. She said that during the Spring Festival holiday many breakfast shops on the roadside were closed, while the Niubazi Noodles Restaurant, instead of raising food prices, provided free meals for sanitation workers. "After having this bowl of noodles, I feel very warm in my heart," she said.

　　60岁的蔡金玉是湖北阳新人，来汉做环卫工已有3年。她说，过年期间，路边很多早点店都歇业了。而这家“牛把子粉面馆”不仅不涨价，还对环卫工免费，“吃完这碗面，心里特别暖”。

　　Since 2020, Yi has been following the tradition, entertaining sanitation workers with free meals. This year, her shop served more than 60 bowls of free noodles every day.

　　免费吃面始于2020年春节，易文晶将免费对象限定为环卫工。据悉，高峰时期该店每天要送出60多碗面。

　　At present Yi's restaurant has 17 franchise stores. Next year, she wants to extend this loving offer in all the stores, in a desire to pass on the warmth of the city.

　　目前她的店已有17家加盟店。明年春节，她想将这个爱心活动扩展到旗下所有门店，传递这份温暖。
