When enrolling students at the beginning, many parents, including children, did not understand that (why) it takes three years to learn ramen, which is actually not the case. During these three years, they learned modern kitchen management, including marketing, and some stores. Site selection and management are a series of courses. It comes down to nearly 13 courses.
[Explanation] Before the 1980s, beef noodle restaurants were state-owned enterprises, and few private noodle restaurants were opened.
Later, the beef noodle shop quickly realized the transformation to the mass fast food, but the beef noodle production technology is passed down by the secret method, and the ramen master has become a "fragrant rice noodle".
In order to allow more people to pass on the ramen technology, in 2018, Liang Shunjian, the deputy secretary-general of the Lanzhou Beef Ramen Industry Association and the chairman of Gansu Jinweidela Noodle Cultural Industry Group, initiated the joint Lanzhou Resources and Environment Vocational and Technical College to establish "Xinglong Lanzhou Beef Ramen International Business School", through the joint school-enterprise operation, attracts people from home and abroad to come and learn.
