Written by Yu Chaofan Li Yunhan
"Grilled meat and naan are the specialties of our hometown, and we hope to promote exchanges between each ethnic group through the medium of food." Ruzimameti, a Uyghur guy from Moyu County, Hetian, Xinjiang, has been rooted in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province with his family for more than 8 years, and the small barbecue restaurant is now booming.
Located on a small road in Qingyunpu District, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, the barbecue shop in Rumai Maiti has a large grill in a shop of about 10 square meters, and the store will also display fresh lamb every day, and several small tables are often full.
"When we first came to Nanchang to start a business, we were also full of difficulties, we were not familiar with the environment, there were difficulties in language communication, we did not understand the government's support policies, and there were some difficulties in leasing shops." Rumamet said that she and his wife Ayigamari were very confused when they first came to Nanchang, but these difficulties were solved one by one with the help of the government and the community.
In the view of Ruzimameti, it is necessary to ensure the freshness and amount of ingredients, the lamb used is fresh every day, each lamb skewer is hand-skewer and sold on the same day, relying on this "business book", Rumameti's shop is becoming more and more prosperous.
"Now more than 400 skewers can be sold every day for barbecue alone, and the turnover of a single store can reach about 3000,5000 to 4,<> yuan." In addition to himself and his wife, the shop in Rumamet now has four Uyghur guys. In addition, in addition to the store in the Qingyunpu district, two branches have been opened.
"During our family's life in Xianghuyuan community, the community helped us solve big problems such as medical treatment when we were sick and our children went to school, and the neighbors around us were worried about our language barrier, and took the initiative to help us pay our water, electricity and gas bills, and sometimes helped us take care of our children, making us feel at home." Ruzimamet said that he and his wife have long regarded Nanchang as their "second hometown".
In the spare time of the shop, Ruzimaiti and his family often participate in the traditional festivals of the community, making rice dumplings and cutting paper with everyone. Previously, they also packed 100 steaming Xinjiang mutton fried rice, and brought mineral water and yogurt to donate love materials to community volunteers.
"The people here are very good, and now our lives are getting better and better, and we can't do without everyone's care and help." Rumamet said that in the future, more people can taste the food of their hometown. (End)
