According to legend, a pair of husband and wife, opened a small restaurant, business although light, the days still make a living.

相传有一对夫妻，开一家小饭店，生意虽清淡，日子还过得下去。

The two then opened a small restaurant and a rice noodle shop, but eventually "couldn't survive the fierce competition and rising rent costs".

他们两人后来一起创业，开过小饭店和过桥米线店，遗憾的是，生意一直不算红火，“传统餐饮业竞争激烈，门面租金也贵，较难立足。”

And if that small business just opened a restaurant and now everybody in the community has a little extra money to spend, that restaurant will do better.
