The woman selling banh cuon at the beginning of the alley turns left, a few hundred meters away is the woman selling sticky rice and banh gio. The banh cuon woman sells in a hidden corner in another small alley, so the two women often do not see each other. Before, there was another woman selling banh cuon, pretty face, sweet talk, clear sign, white bowls and chopsticks, but most importantly, the banh cuon was not delicious, few customers, so after a short time she had to move away.
This banh cuon seller has a miserable face, speaks moderately, but makes delicious banh cuon and always follows the principle: First come, first served. So anyone who comes late has to line up, even if they only buy 1 serving. Therefore, many men who exercise at the nearby park, when they come back, run over to ask for 2 servings, then go home to shower properly and then come out to get the banh cuon, as well as some women who take advantage of the time to go by and order a few servings and then come back from the market to get them, so as not to have to wait.
Suddenly, the owner of the house in the alley where the banh cuon seller “resides” added a balcony, so the dust was so thick that she had to “evacuate” to another place. The new place was right across from the sticky rice and banh gio seller, so the two women who used to smile when they met now looked at each other somewhat coldly, especially when the banh cuon seller had much more customers.
He liked both of them and was known to be a good shopkeeper, so they all wanted to call him. Before, when he bought banh cuon, the sticky rice seller didn't know and vice versa, but now the situation had changed. So he reminded himself that if he bought banh cuon this morning, he would buy xoi tomorrow, and if he was absent-minded and forgot, he would ask his wife. This morning, he had bought xoi as usual, but seeing the banh cuon lady's sad face and her unsold goods, he clicked his tongue and only bought 1 package of xoi and ordered 1 more banh cuon. Seeing both of their faces relax, he was pleased that he had made them both happy.
But as soon as he got home, his wife frowned: last night, it was a cool rain, why did you buy so many sticky rice and rice rolls? Take the egg noodles I bought at the supermarket last night and cook them for me. How miserable, old but still so foolish with women!
