From early morning, the fog in the highlands was still thick, the northeast wind was blowing cold, but the convoy of Pho Yeu Thuong had already departed from Phuc Khanh Inter-level School No. 1, moving to Lang Nu resettlement area.
The new village is located on top of a hill, the entrance road is dozens of meters above sea level. At the corners, groups of workers are working hurriedly, the sound of machinery rumbling, echoing all the way to Voi Mountain - the highest peak at 1,033m in the mountain range stretching from Yen Bai to Lao Cai.
The newly made concrete road running through the center is not yet completely dry, but is wide enough for trucks carrying raw materials to pass on the other half.
As soon as the car stopped, dozens of people took turns transporting materials to the empty lot in the middle of the new village.
The aroma from the pots of broth makes many people's stomachs growl, looking forward to eating pho.
Mr. Ban Van Hien - Truong Son 26 Company, Army Corps 12 - said he was very surprised this morning when the Pho Yeu Thuong activity came to the construction site.
For nearly 3 months of continuous construction, he has been constantly on duty at this place with the desire to hand over the houses to the people of Lang Nu as soon as possible. Because of that, the male engineer had to temporarily leave behind the familiar culinary flavors.
“Pho S has a light taste and the broth is very delicious. In the middle of the cold mountains and hills, a bowl of pho helps me ease my nostalgia,” said Mr. Hien, adding that he and his colleagues wanted to try a bowl of the famous Pho Thin Bo Ho.

Not far away, Ms. Hoang Thi Doc (local) said, “This is the first time I have eaten such a delicious bowl of pho. After eating, I feel so much less tired.”
For over a month, she has been hired by the contractor to complete the items at the Lang Nu construction site. After finishing a bowl of Pho 34 Cao Thang, she immediately ran to get another bowl of Pho Thin because she heard from her neighbor: This pho from Hoan Kiem Lake, Hanoi is very famous.
In a bustling atmosphere, nearly 200 bowls of pho were cooked right in the middle of the new Nu Village, by famous pho restaurants/shops, such as: Pho Thin Bo Ho (Hanoi), Pho 34 Cao Thang (HCMC), Pho S (Ngoc Linh ginseng).
Representatives of the pho restaurants said they felt happy and joyful because the people and construction workers received hot bowls of pho, cooked with passion and the desire to share love.

Ms. Tran Hoai Thu (head of Lang Nu village residential area) said that since the evening of December 11, she has notified people on social networking groups to attend the Pho Yeu Thuong event.
Everyone shared the same feeling of excitement and joy. “Holding up the bowl of pho, everyone felt warm. Warm both in the taste and in their hearts because they were sharing,” said Mrs. Thu.
The new houses in Lang Nu have gradually taken shape. A few households have gradually moved their belongings to their new homes. Outside in the yard, each bush of trees and flowers has sprouted green. Joy seems to have rekindled in the new village.
