Over the Bridges Noodles … A story of ancient times.
The wife of a worker
would bring him lunch every day,
and each day the meal was
not warm enough when she
got to the fields where he was working.
So she pondered and planned
and worked out that she could
boil the spiced water first
with lots of oil to keep it hot,
and pack the tasty little ingredients
separately. She would carry this
to him, and, when she reached
the bridge, she would
put in the ingredients and it would be
cooked when she arrived.
Now I walk over the bridge
and feel my wallet, making sure
I have enough to buy my wife
Over the Bridges Noodles
in Kunming on a sunny Tuesday.
