The sign says Xiǎochīdiàn 小吃店 - Snack Bar or Lunch Room. The sign is also engraved into the wood above the sign. As long as there are workers to be fed, this shop will hold onto its business. The owner may luck out and be awarded the right to have a small snack shop in the "new" quaint traditional shopping area. |
